I've been meaning to reply back to this thread but I hadn't watched the last two episodes until today. I'm finally caught up with NK, and I have to say I'm very pleased with what I'm seeing so far. I was a little concerned with the new promo that came out this week but upon careful consideration, I have to say that the promos never fully play out like they appear in the episodes. Like the Ali and AvNeil promo in Coorg. All the elements of the promo were there in the episode but it wasn't exactly, them standing in a barn and getting cosy and Ali watching them like a voyeur. It was different. I'm not worried about the "wedding" happening. Avni and Neil will never give each other up; be it because of blackmail or otherwise.
I saw a few of the new OLVs this morning as well. And it seems like Vidyut is twisting the truth to make Bebe believe that Neil really is the father. Which is weird because none of the family ( except for Shweta) had believed otherwise before. So, why is he providing this test result to Bebe? I understand that they will be using this report to push Juhi to "marry" Neil, but why did they bring out the paper work?
Then there's the OLV of Neil and Avni at the cemetery.. From what I've understood is that Vidyut has put a lot of allegations on Neil's character ( based on the fact that Juhi is alive and he has a child out of wedlock with an ex who is currently residing in his home, with his wife present), and Neil was worried that Avni wouldn't be able to handle that daag and would want to leave. I loved how Avni has reassured him and said that he has loved her selflessly and unconditionally; that he has accepted her despited all her faults and her mistakes ( which is what we as a fandom have argued in the past!) and so now that it's her turn to support him, why would she leave?
Perfect!
I think following that we'll see how Avni proves her husband right and proves how he was framed and none of those allegations are true.
This all ties in to this topic of Avni's self realization. She's realized on her own(!!!) that her life is not similar to either of her mothers'. That Neil is not Ashish Mehta. And she's realized how much Neil means to her. She can never share him with anyone. I love this!
Avni and Neil are two of the best written characters in this show and I think I would dare say in ITV! I have never seen a FL and a ML stand so united in the face of challenges. In all of the ITV, I've seen so far, there's always an element of distrust at one point or another.
The growth of these characters have been upwards only and it's been at a perfect pace. It doesn't seem rushed or slow.
The promo is letting us know that Juhi's end in the lives of AvNeil is near. I've considered the fact that every 'evil' that AvNeil have faced have brought out a different technique to their fighting.
With Daya, the fight was all Neil's brainchild.
With RP, the fight showed Avni's street smarts and Neil's determination.
With Juhi, I really think that Shweta's sneakiness will be intertwined with AvNeil's ever lasting trust and love.
I really cannot wait for Shweta to get involved in this. We know, from past experience that Shweta can and, push comes to shove, she will fight dirty for her kids.
Bring it on, Juhi. You've messed with the wrong family!
