Ahh it's so damn good to see great writing and even better, great ACTING giving us such fantastic scenes👏👏👏
The epi was just perfect from start to finish!
Starting with the early half when Sanjay is trying to figure out ways to confess to Shruti...ADORABLE stuff...lol...trying his hand at poetry...quite bad poetry if I may add😆...then trying his time tested LOGIC fundas...lol...then trying to do with it a simple rose...lol...Manav was awesome in this scene.
They showed a very logical progression for the way the gossip spreads in the office, is overheard by Shruti and she sets off to confront Sanjay over it.
Sanjay bechara kya mood banaa raha tha of a romantic confession😆...and Shruti came bursting into the office with steam literally coming out of her ears...saare plans flop ho gaye😆
Anyways all joking aside...the scene was so freakin BRILLIANT...from the written material...kudos, Sonal👏...to the acting...Manav was just AWESOME with his "I love you" outburst...even before that the way it builds up...him firmly telling Shruti he won't let her go anywhere, that he can't see her in pain...but after the confession, the scene totally belonged to Gautami...OMG what a PERFORMANCE from her👏👏👏...Every scope of Shruti's reaction...from the shocked numbness, to the shaky disbelief, shaky attempts at trying to brush it off as a joke...to the sheer ANGER, FRUSTRATION...everything burst out...man it's hard to list...I was so WOWED by the scene...everything that Shruti says to Sanjay...her misunderstanding is totally understandable...She's presumed that all those two years of the support that Sanjay showed her was due to his being in love with her...her saying that in this selfish world, she thought she always had one friend who stood by her unflinchingly, selflessly but today she feels shattered to know that he had something different in his heart.
You know why I REALLY love this scene though? Cuz Harsh wasn't mentioned even ONCE as an excuse😆...that is the time tested excuse used by a widow in movies and TV shows...no one can take the place of my dead husband...now that may come later for Shruti...but I LOVE that her first reaction was outrage at Sanjay as a FRIEND...that he took away that FRIENDSHIP from her...that before anything else, this was about them as FRIENDS...THAT is what hurt her the most...now later on she may tell Sanjay that he can't replace Harsh...but in this very moment Shruti was just out of her mind with the shock and pain of not realizing that her best friend was in love with her...now she's berating herself for not having seen it...taken Sanjay's confession in a whole another way...not giving him a single chance to explain how his own feelings developed...
But it's understandable...she is SO out of her mind with shock, she's totally shut out Sanjay...she can't bear to deal with what he's saying in this moment.
She's going to resign now but I wonder how Sanjay will find out the house issue...I think that will be the next turning point...how Sanjay tries to help her with the house issue despite her shutting him out...
The show is at a really interesting point now...👏👏
