OK, so this is actually repeating a post from mou's thread BUT I don't want to be accused of littering so let us just call this recycling. 😳

My favourite all time scene of MN is in my last post,
the why of Mayank part two. The fight, 'ladki ke paas jaane ki soch na bhi mat' gets me every time. Even now my pulse is racing out towards the stars.😳
Then the pinnacle, my favourite of favourite parts...when he goes over to Nupur and gives her the duppatta back, that look of concern, anger, haya, all rolling around his mind. I don't know why but I always think of Aunty Shilpa at this point, that Mayank isn't doing this for only Nupur but all women. His upbringing by Aunty Shilpa has made him unable to tolerate the belittling of any woman.
Then he turns around, that cold hard rock of a stare. I have been randomly assaulted by the thought of this moment many times and just fallen off my perch!
The whole conversation with Nupur after the fight, both of them unable to repress the tenderness from pouring forth despite the fact they are able to barely look at one another. Then their honest confession. She is his friend and she in return is most grateful for that. I swear when she compliments him, there is a big smile across his heart that although doesn't show upon his lips it is written across his soul in plain view. The end 'heart ya haath' question leaves me in stitches too.
In 'the why of Mayank part one, my favourite line of MJHT by chiruji, of all people ...the whole shut up ka sirf ek mathlab hai, chup raiheye, wo bhi gusse wale anger mein. I am laughing now 🤣Gautam's expressions and tone are perfection.
Arjun was exceptional. All those nuances of within each stare. It wasn't just testosterone fuelled raw indignation but he managed to exude humbleness and concern too. Captivating.
The whole 'my brain has left me speech' coupled with that perturbed 'I can't be in love' exasperation! He pulled of deluded, mystified, little boy lost, out of his depth and drowning in confusion to a legend of a performance. Nupur was endearing as the 'victim' to his mess of emotions. She never gives up on him, always open to a reunion. That when he turns up, it doesn't just say 'thank goodness someone has turned up, her look of relief that 'it is Mayank' that
he came in her dire need.
You may ponder why the need for secrecy of my all time favourite MN scene. This is very personal. If you knew me you would understand more, I won't bore you with details. Lets just say that although I have let go on my childhood imaginings of my warrior/protector saving me from myself and loneliness, IT has not let go of me!😳 Let me elucidate, I do not promote the whole 'damsel in distress' role. Have you seen 'Everafter'? At the end of the film, the heroine saves herself, the hero turns up with sword in hand to save her but there is no need. However it is that he turned up That is what I name as love, that someone has my back, willingly to stand beside me. That feeling of comfort, of companionship, of a fortress of love is incomparable to any other.
With love, Sabah
