Its the "building up" phase of the story...where arjun and arohi though the maze of doubts and surprises are unknowingly getting to know each other...mutual attraction is playing the cupid here and slowly and steadily the very diverse protagonists are gravitating....its interesting to see them fall in love not only because at the outset Arjun is very different from the "idea" of a partner Arohi had nurtured in her mind all through, but aso because she does not have even a clear idea about what kind of a person arjun is....
problem is...neither do I 😆...the creators are clearly in multiple minds about what actually to "make" out of this character...he is so darn conflicted...and i dont mean that in a good way...the poor character almost looks like a multiple personality disorder case 😕..i mean no body has a monotone character i understand...but every individual ideally has a dominant personality with various situations bringing out the alternative streaks at times...i mean in the real world that is.....if for a second i consider arjun to be a "rough and tough" person..then that should be his dominant character no? he wont really fool or goof around with girls or let his guard down so easily.....and to me frowning is not = being rough and tough.....but everything aside, that's MY opinion....so moving on
coming to the "with reference to context" part of things - its cute to see how arohi and her silly friend and "arjun - the roughy" is in a picnic mode...its silly but cute 😳....i was actually surprised when arohi and her friend actually pulled out two identical saree while dacing in the rain (in the previous epi)....okay fine...hindi soaps are no brainers...but there are extremes...in Bengali there's a saying for stories with no head or tail - Golper Goru Gache Chora - which when literally translated means - When the Cow Climbs a Tree.....its like that or even more to me 😆
and arohi getting all hyper about arjun took advantage of her and all...WHOA !!! cliche cliche cliche 😆 but "cute" 😳...and arjun drinking away to glory and blurting out how he is not mean despite being mean....awwwww..."cute" again 😳.....but......😊
and is it the cynical me or did gauri's letters sound more like pages from her diary? 😕
overall, good for them that they are in love...but something in me is screaming "not interested"..........i'd blame it on how the story is being built up...when i dont understand the characters, or their pov or more simply, i dont flow with the flow of things...its obvious nothing will excite me
its sad, because i think both the actors have the potential to be able to emote any emotion with panache.....they still are...its just that it seems more like a forced comic circus to me
the next track will surely focus on how they realize their affection for each other while being away....looking forward to see if that is build up in a nice way rather than giving us this glorified hotchpotch

looking forward to the takes of the lovelies who are not as cynical as me 😊
