I don’t want to use Bajaj for him anymore, he’s my Rishabh
When I first saw the PreRish scene today, I like many others thought why is she not reacting more. I need more, either from the actress or the character - I just need more.
Re-watching the scene again and I just thought maybe she just knows the underlying currents and emotions between her and Rishabh. I’m not saying they are of love, I’m saying they were never platonic and can never be that.
It’s like that moment when she let him wipe her tears & it created a highly charged moment between the two but she walked away. Not out of disgust but because she knows there’s nothing to come out of this. She’s in love with Anurag and he’s the only man she can love. Yet there are those undercurrents which makes many things left unsaid. The fact that she still let him wipe her tears said a lot. Like she knows.
Today when Kukki said her ‘bye’, Prerna looked to Bajaj and responded with an almost sullen ‘bye’. If you watch that moment carefully you may understand what I’m referring to.
The letter...she’s going to keep that. We just know she is. Why? Because Bajaj wasn’t just another man or hurdle in her life. Subconsciously he had become something else too.
