Rithik's unwavering faith in Shivanya is heart-touching but unfortunately Tanvi was right this time. I'm sure us poor viewers will have to tolerate her while she gloats about being right in the future- will be sure to skip those episodes.
I don't think I will ever get tired of mentioning what a sweetheart rithik is. He is way too good to be true, absolute dream husband with a smile that can light up the world. Don't know who to praise more, but Arjun's smile is to die for and he plays rithik with so much ease and confidence. The character would not be so loveable if another actor was playing him, Arjun brings in all the charm Rithik Raheja possesses.
Next came the adorable Rivanya scene, he wants to surprise his wife with a precious family picture but before that, he must tease her a little of course. Rithik never misses the opportunity to flirt with her or try to bring her closer. I already watched the scene on the OLV but it was edited and presented beautifully on the show. For the first time, I thought that makers did not screw up a scene due to the editing but only made it better.
This song choice was perfect as usual; it had a combination of love, pain and longing- which explains shivanya's current situation. She is experiencing conflicting emotions, which is not a bad thing because rithik is the innocent one in this mess, why should he suffer? If we have someone like Shesha, who is absolutely ruthless then we need someone like shivanya who has somewhat of a conscious. In addition, being principled while thinking of right and wrong does not make the character any less appealing nor does it dilute the character in any way, even if she is a vindictive naagin.
Cockroach scene was cute; bechara rithik does not want to sleep on the floor anymore. Really good acting by both and rithik was trying so hard to act innocent while arguing with shivanya about being scared of cockroaches. The most interesting part was the dialogues that came before, indeed the most intriguing moment will be when he finds out shivanya's truth. I'm sure we are all waiting for that moment with our breaths held- who will he support? Or how will he react? When the time comes, I hope he recalls this conversation even though his heart is broken into a million pieces. It is hard to go against one's own parent, especially when they showered him with so much love. However, Ankush's past history and the possible dirty secrets about rithik's true lineage might make it easier for him to decide. Speaking of, are we sure that man on the portrait is rithik's grandfather/father? What if it's rithik from his past life? Keeping in mind that whatever happened to shesha, happened 100 years ago, the timeline does not add up.
Am I the only who is completely annoyed with this gurumaa? I hope Shesha kills her.
Suri has overstayed his welcome. I don't know why they are dragging his impending death. However, Shesha's Shenanigans are so entertaining to watch, loved how she slithered up that bed and then transformed.
Rithik was not able to follow shivanya but what will she say to him as a cover up? Will rithik even question her? Let's see
Now it looks like they may be dragging the episodes for the rumored extensions. Thankfully, the episodes are still engrossing but for how long? They need to show something substantial such as a hint of Shesha's past, Rithk's mysterious lookalike or more insight into Ankush's shady history.
Additional point
Apparently Rashmi desai has been approached to play a pivotal character. Hopefully this is will develop the story further and not just extend it. Please, I do not want to see her as the 5th culprit but maybe she could be someone from rithik's unknown past? That would be a good twist.
