When Nidhi asked Khushi about what she was drawing; Khushi replied that she was making a pic. of her home, her mummy and herself . When Nidhi asked to show the pic, she showed it to her. Nidhi was hopeful about getting some clue about Khushi's real identity upon seeing the pic. but Khushi couldn't reveal anything about her home. And when asked about her mother, she said: "She recalls her mother but now she doesnt come to play with her..." and then she put the pencil on her mother's sketch as if she wanted to cancel out her mother from her life. The pencil was put in way that it covered Khushi's mother's sketch from head to toe and then, only the paper with the sketch was shown in a separate frame.
Nidhi upon hearing what Khushi said about her mother and seeing this gesture of Khushi, gave a very sad look full of pathos. May be, Nidhi also being motherless was missing her mother badly at that moment or she couldn't accept Khushi's gesture of rejecting her mother. Also, Khushi had not made her father's drawing. So, could this mean Khushi was living with her mother only but for some reason she got separated from her mother and ended up being a street kid? Whatever the truth may be, but, the use of pencil to depict Khushi's plight was truly praiseworthy.
This reminded me of another pencil scene during separation track, when Ashu being so much hurt by Nidhi's allegations on his professional integrity, while trying to control his anger, hurt and helplessness kept hitting the pic. of heart with a pencil till it's point got broken... That was also an outstanding scene which with the use of pencil depicted how Ashu's heart was wounded by Nidhi's alleging words. Both Ashu's and Nidhi's facial and eye expressions in that scene too were magnificent, but, the use of pencil helped greatly in conveying the required message of that scene.
Friends, this is our KTLK - a class-apart show, where we do not get to see pompous sets and decorations like many other shows but to express a particular situation in a best effective manner, a simplest wiritng device like pencil is used here and needless to say, it does full justice to that situation by conveying it's intended meaning. Hats off to the writers, directors and to the actors of the show for giving us such simple yet splendid scenes... What do you say?
