Musicana breakup scene mein he was good until he turned away and started to cry...then he looked constipated as usual which he does when he cries😆...but yes he sold the evil persona bang on...Nandu ke saath saath everyone believed him and wanted to punch him in the face for breaking her heart so viciously. Nandu ke tears toh oh boy...melt you on the spot...no one ever looked so innocently heartbreaking while crying as this kiddo.

@bold: LMFAO😆...but I loveee that hug...haha the raw desperation in it...and just the way he had her half dipped back and tucked into his chest...for whatever reason...momentum, flow of the scene...lol but it really added to the visual...that's like one of my fav. hugs of theirs...baad mein we never got to see a hug like that...or twirl hug...two things I kept on whining for and never got...chalo Jeena Jeena hi mil gaya😆

I love , love Musicana sooo much because of what you wrote. Her tears were leaving gashes all over and he was just so confused pagal . Not your usual angry lead destroying whatever they had. He was just so desperate for her. She was the only thing he has ever selfishly longed for . All he needed was to know ki come what may, she wants only him..bas pagal idiot. Even then too , i am sure he would have fought hard to be worthy for her.

Oh yeah, he even send someone to fetch Dhruv coz he was worried Dhruv be spending way too much time.

Uska sab kuch be that little tiny girl . bas. Haha, his whole world be here.

Hospital , blabbering shit..about rules..how she doesn't listen to him..and that little happiness at recognizing the love. The way he just wanted to kiss her and the softness with which he handled her. Sigh.

Musicana- Shadow scene. One of my fav scenes. And then the one where she cleans up his face.

Or even the hospital ones. Sigh..every bit was love.

Kids.

Sru 🤗

This...so much.

Matlab that is the thing...it wasn't even just about him trying to be mahaan...yes, her tears were killing him and he was desperate to take away the hurt in any way...in so much as he even tried to bring her spunk out again by helping direct the hurt into anger...but more than all of this, it was plain and simple NEED...the fact that he just needed to be around her, hold her, have some form of connection with her...that is where the writing and acting wins...that delicate balance so well executed...which is why we still gush to this day.

Remember when she be crying to him and telling him how she be so mad at him. She breaks down and all this , boy, cared was , ki chalu ..she feels something. 😆

I have dicussed it with Box alot ki this need and yearning to be around each other all the time wasn't a bad thing for them. Simply because at the end, they just were too content with each other, family the bas..they were one of those rare pair, who would have used their togetherness to shine on or grow. You literally see two kids grow up man.

Actually , him telling her to be angry reminds me of during the PTSD time, when she beats him with stick and he is like, "isn't being angry better than being sad" or something. Cute.

*Edit: Oh and totally YES to the fact that mixed in with all his silly attempts at sacrifice, the fact that he still wanted her to look past it all and pick him...still hopelessly wanted to be worthy of her despite all he said...writing win👏😆

Remember when he came to know she has said no to Dhruv, all he wanted to know why she declined Dhruv ka thing when the latter be a good boy and she will smile at Dhruv. And his 99 flowers...sab..he just was so insecure about being worthy. Yet , when mattered, he will push Dhruv away..like ..telling Dhruv to eff off..and he pulled Nandu from that hug when his girl be crying in the jungle.

His entire world samaaoed inside that tiny little girl...marvel hi toh tha😆...he was totally helpless in the face of his need for her...and she for him...like we've discussed many times...the EQUALITY they showed in the treatment of that yearning from both sides...never skewing it...that is what makes them special.

Mutual. Always so bloody mutual. She will react and reach out to him. He would listen, be her sounding board and she just was different with him. She needed him as much as he needed her. Both hopeless.

I wove the hospital blabbering scene...lol even though it was shot seperately with BDs...but Manik so shaken, so raw over almost having lost her...trying to find his balance again by being grumpy dictator Manik...when he also knew he was putty in her hands...phir bhi bechara tried😆

Grumpy him is so cute. He is like a little baby.

The way he holds her face when he's trying to wake her up at the hospital...epitome of tenderness

❤️

Awww I love that scene man..it's so cute. When he is just hovering over her face.😆

i love the transition in that scene by parth! it was done soo well from raw anger to vulnerability the moment he saw nandu and realised he was almost going to punch her. the scene as a whole was done really well! manik's raw emotion after the dhruv incident shock disbelief anger and that vulnerability when he was with nandini and when he finally breaks down the way the scene changes from being manik's pov about the whole incident to nandu's pov about it her tears and crying could make us feel how badly manik was affected by this. it was a very well excuted and written scene and i specially mention as to how as soon as the crying bit happened the scene was made about her pov and it was done soo efficiently

Exactly...that PTSD track waali line just reinforced what Manik had already tried once before...he's always happier having her fight with him than to see her sad and crying...he just tried a not so Monster approach during PTSD time, is all😆

I also don't think their need for each other was a bad thing cuz of the way the show handled it...it's such a fine balance and you can easily go overboard when you are showing such an intense bond...but the writing and PaNi walked that fine line just right...their need for each other didn't hamper them, rather they only grew from strength to strength as that very bond helped them tackle all kinds of things together and evolve both as individuals as well as as a couple.

Remember when he came to know she has said no to Dhruv, all he wanted to know why she declined Dhruv ka thing when the latter be a good boy and she will smile at Dhruv.

Yet , when mattered, he will push Dhruv away..like ..telling Dhruv to eff off..and he pulled Nandu from that hug when his girl be crying in the jungle. LOL Manik ka sacrifice was a joke from the get go...for all his mahaan speeches about Dhruv ka 99 flowers wala proposal, he couldn't stand Dhruv being around Nandu for a second😆...remember his dream about Nandu on Dhruv's bike and how he panicked?😆

So ofcourse he wasn't going to stand it for a second when he saw Dhruv hugging Nandu...suddenly the futility and dumbness of his sacrifice got real and Manik was like screw this...back away from my girl😆

Grumpy him is so cute. He is like a little baby. Little nahin GIANT baby, Genie😆

Awww I love that scene man..it's so cute. When he is just hovering over her face.😆 Yes, hovering with so much FOCUS😆...so uniquely him😆

@Jiya- Oh yeah, the transition. She linked it up with his anger and the hope and his reactions. He knew she was being so silly and cute. But that was Nandu..and the anger issues of Manik there. I loved when he said, anger is not allowed in what they shared. The wrong, that he realized on his own.

You actually see how Manik and Nandini saw things differently but they gave each other the space to talk about it, learn from each other. Respect , so bloody mutual.

Man, do you ever find that in most stories today? Desi or Videsi? Hardly

His sacrifice was such a joke man. Haasi aati hai..what was that dream though. And remember after that butt-freeze wala dance he goes outside and tells nandu , "why was she dancing so happily with Dhruv" and tells her to go away , as the party be for feb5 . The childishness there and Nandu's gussa and challenge there..his frustration ki, she never listens to him- that grumpiness stayed always.

i loved when she is so tired, shattered by the long night and breaks down and reminiscences about it.He comes there, checks on her and then offers her the break-time. I mean, wahi, that sacrifice be null and void, the slight touch of their hands and the way he is worried about her . Your heart just goes aww. And Nandu bhi, this guy did shit to her, phir bhi worried for his hand and being annoyed at Nurse\s drooling. Kya sample hai.

Gaint baby ki tiny doll. bas. Haha.

@AY - None. Consistently these two had that respect and communication. Kuch bhi kar lo that connect and awareness about each other was so strong. No wonder the villains were redundant coz they just never mattered. Their conflicts were about handling each other and improving their relationship. Bas.
