So there were some very poignant moments today with some very clear messages that further cemented the bond between Manik & Nandini.
He knows when she is hurt or about to get upset so he coaxes her by teasing her. As he breaks down further barriers between them & continues to build "trust" & in front of all adversity what matters to him is she is with him through thick & thin. Whether its issues with friends or family she is his buffer - she makes it all better for him!!
So he shows her how to release all frustrations by just letting go!!! Encourages her to do the same & she places all trust in him despite the fact that she fears water & cannot swim. Poignant moment when he lets her struggle & at the last moment catches her then slowly lets her take that tentative step in braving floating & standing there to "catch" her if she falls. Slowly & surely she learns to float with him as safeguard. Knowing that she can lean on him & rely on him!!
This is what he represents for her in life- support & security - that he will look out for her - that he will always be there for her & that no matter what the adversity that he will face all negative & positive situations with her. She has changed him & for that reason he cannot be without her.
⭐️Beautiful episode - so much meaning behind it - subtlety done but real QUALITY 👏
PS- Manik the hairdresser on top of all his other attributes 😆😆😆
