First of all A HI-5 for you Tanu. Ring Ki Queen is an apt title today...
From story line point of view highlight is CVs made Nidhi and Mallika fight , an open challenge now. Similar one they created in hospital before.
Again all the characters are in line with the behaviors. We may be surprised with Nidhi but do not compare her with yesterday's oscillating Nidhi. She was always up to her wits in any scene with Mallika till now so CVs maintained the same characterization.
Before the episode I was thinking these days Nidhi is behaving like fool. I did not have hopes but CVS managed to keep her in-line with her previous encounters with Mallika.
Nidhi realized that Mallika is still in the game when she told "What ever you have today may be mine tomorrow". So now Nidhi will be cautious. Unless in tomorrow's episode she buys in Ashu's assurances. Ashu will any how try to give confidence because he has great confidence on Mallika.
Ashu was a puppy in front of Mallika from the beginning of this track and he continued the same effortlessly. They have used some of MBs close ups and some times they were not matching with the context but manageable.
Though BD is used, I do not mind as Ashu was very passive today so it is no point of wasting MB in shooting this kind of passive shoot. From PH point of view, this is justified.
Do not have qualms on Ashu's behavior because he never had a mother or sister so it is very difficult for him to gauge the inner meanings of the cat fight. If at all he can sense, he may learn to keep quiet a bit in front of Mallika about his outings with Nidhi here after.
Today Malllika tried to highlight age-gap only once. Later she used words like difference in tastes, compatibility etc...
Does she think she has greater compatibility with Ashu? That is why she is more right candidate for the honors? This stance is not coming out clearly. I think CVs got confused and are confusing us also on this point.
If compatibility is the issue...then especially in India where most of the marriages are arranged where both the partners know so little before entering into wed lock... this issue cannot be a focal point for a track.
Until we see how much openly Nidhi confronts Ashu tomorrow we cannot say how the relation is progressing. Let us hope for the best...
Nidhi's dress was good. AshBD is becoming lean ... If this continues he may loose job as Ashu's BD.
One episode without Rohan's Gyan ... Good going...
