So I read a lot of mixed reviews on Twitter but personally I loved the episode, I didn't feel too much was crammed in at all. The makers of this show always get straight to the point, they don't drag anything nor do they give you a filler scene. Every scene you see serves a purpose and today was no different.
I'm so glad Avni only agreed to come for the pooja it had nothing to do with her moving back home at least not yet. I'm glad Avni is not going against Neil's wishes here because he is still very much hurt with his mother who at one time cared about his happiness.
Hats off to these CVs for how they've written Neil and Avni's friendship with Ali. Neil was jealous of their bond at one point because he knows how Ali feels about Avni but now he knows Avni does not feel the same that there is just a friendship there, he trusts both his wife and his friend and that is huge in TV world. Avni has not let Rhea instigate her against Ali, their friendship remains intact because of the trust she has in him.
Finally the much awaited confrontation happened between Rhea and Neil. I loved him being protective of Avni and not allowing Rhea to instigate him against Ali, the sharp minded Neil was quick to call Rhea out on the letter and knew Ali must have refused. Rhea got what she deserved today.
Avni met up with old friends to help her find out about the bomb blast, I love that the CVs show Avni as a very versatile character. Avni is not the brightest when it comes to romance but everything else the girl is on point! Avni is not your typical female lead, she is beauty with brains who can take charge when needed.
So Juhi is not dead, this is no look alike that Shweta found infact she does not even know Juhi is alive thank goodness. I say that with relief because it just did not make sense that Shweta would know Juhi is alive or the fact she would find someone who looked exactly like her in little to no time. I like that CVs are connecting Juhi to Gura Maa, its like a jigsaw puzzle where pieces slowly fit together.
I'm really interested to see how this track unfolds, how will Neil react to seeing Juhi again? This was a woman he thought was dead, a woman he mourned for so what will happen when they come face to face? How will this impact his relationship with Avni? Shweta we know will use this to her advantage but Neil's actions are what will be crucial to this track.
