Well, thanks Tanu for the fast, fast update for a rather slow epi๐ ...we at IF were deffo going too fast.๐ I have to agree 100% with your statement, when it comes to KTLK, CVs know best, and how could we forget that even for a second! I also have to agree that they need to show Ashni expressing their love to each other, not enough if they show only the audience, they need to build up the romance tadka at jet speed now!๐ฒ
This is a new beginning for KTLK. Today they built up the situation and tomorrow's epi will probably set the tone of this show. ๐ The CVs can decide to continue with the positivity or revert back to their favorite, negativity.๐ BTW the new update to saiyaan BG is nicer, more peppy and has a more positive ring to it.๐๐ผ The old BG had a more haunting quality and evoked pathos. ๐ญ So, personally hoping the epis also go this way while maintaining that realism.๐
Coming to today's epi. Liked the overall feel to it.๐ It brought a lot of things into perspective and I enjoyed some of those moments.๐ First was Ashu's obvious reluctance to go, then his going in his sherwani shows his dedication. Looking at the mirror and coming to terms with his new reality was nice, liked the BG there.๐ณ Now, he needs to start showing all these feelings to Nidhi, start sharing his thoughts with her ... that's what lacking in him!๐ค
Then back home, he is tired and dejected but one look at Nidhi and its all gone.๐๐ผ Liked how he came to check on her, also liked how Nidhi inquired about his case, Ashu was surprised and happy! ๐ Then the best part, where he automatically goes to change but stops and Nidhi's gentle teasing there understanding his situation.๐ But this is what one would expect from someone who has not shared his private space with anyone for 42 yrs let alone a woman! ๐
Loved Nidhi in the saree, she did look like a new bride, but just! Nidhi is always very simple and down to earth, no unnecessary jewellery!๐ I also like how she used real sindoor instead of the line stuff we see in other shows.๐ Both of them checking on each other in sleep and neither one gathered enough courage to wake the other, hope that day is not far when they actually do! ๐ Again Nidhi's little gesture with the sindoor in the mirror should make Ashu more restless to see her, just like that rose "i miss you" scene. ๐ BTW, I completely like that Ashu choose to sleep on the bed and not on the couch...that's a start! ๐ณ
Absolutely loved Armaan's mom's sound advice to Ashu. ๐ She did not mince any words and told him straight off that he had disappointed Nidhi on the most important night of her life.๐ I hope he will reflect on it and it will push him to start shedding some of his inhibitions and open up to Nidhi.๐ณ Today he was deffo caught between the rock and the hard place and Nidhi's quiet acceptance of the reality has made him more guilty. ๐ Nidhi may be disappointed but she understood and it was nice to see she was not sulking.๐๐ผ In fact she let him rest and was spending time with others. He already cares a lot for her, time his actions displayed that! ๐
As far as precap is concerned even I think Nidhi is crying about Rohan's disappearance. But I am eager to see what Ashu does and does he even make up for SR fiasco๐ or does he continue to be tad insensitive to Nidhi's feelings and expectations?๐
Your reviews are always Fab...๐
