Hey there, Anu! :) Great post, 👏 loved reading it.
Before I talk about anything else, I'll say what the others have said. I'm going to be literally sick if I watch another Anant Shagun scene. Why are they trying to torture us with this? 😕 The fact that Shagun showed how much of an Apshagun she is, is little comfort to me. I wish Bua Daadi had walked in and started a little Hari-Om-Prabhuji-This-Is-Freaky lecture there, maybe then I'd have felt much better. Maybe THEN, they might even reconsider the alliance between Shagun and Anant... So much for wishful thinking.
Anyway,
Soumya was much better than yesterday, much to my relief😆 and amen to that! I found Soumya extremely annoying in the episode where she was crying in class. Since that was an all-time low, I was grateful to find out that she hasn't displayed an expression worst than that. Maybe the fact that I keep comparing every look to that makes it so much better, dunno. I loved her today, honestly. Both Anant and Navya. These 2 are just so adorable! Like you, I kept feeling like patting them on the head or just going on and giving them a bearhug. I think, right now, they symbolise young love perfectly; the turmoil and tribulations of being in love and trying to balance out tradition with modern thinking.
Although, I thought the series was being unnecessarily dragged out at the beginning of this week. HOW LONG was it going to take to get a single word out, really?! 🥱 But, after this episode, I think that could be justified to an extent since they are unsure as to everything that has been happening. I find it so pleasant that they are still confused as to what's going on and why they feel so much pain in this separation.
Btw, I didn't notice that Navya said pyar until you mentioned so! I probably heard wrong so I had to go back and watch it again to hear her say it. I'm not sure in what context she said that (in her mind). I'm just hoping against hope that she's referring to universal love in general. >_> But the more I watch that scene, I feel like she's thinking (unintentionally??) about romantic love. One question though. She questions herself about every action she takes and even about thoughts she thinks, so WHY HASN'T SHE QUESTIONED HERSELF ABOUT THIS?! *sorry, I had to vent there. this is frustrating >_>*
So she knows this is love.
...when did this happen? 😕
I just wish that they had shown the moment she realised it, if she truly has. It feels like a huge chunk is missing now. =/
For now, I'm willing to ignore this bit because all the other parts were applaud-worthy. Ritz, Daadi and Ranbir are becoming my favourite characters now. I wholeheartedly agree with every word in your 1st and 2nd points. Maybe the fact that RR are in love with each other and so can relate to AN's plight is what's making them so agreeable and understanding, but hey I'm not going to complain. I'm totally loving this. 😆
Though, Appy, not so much. What's up with the precap and her seemingly holier-than-thou attitude? 😕 C'mon, she's a 19 year old. Even if she's never had a boyfriend, she's acting insensitive and immature. It's not like Navya and Ritz have made a club and excluded her from it. & the fact that she's indignant coz no one let her in on 'the secret' is crazy. No secret to begin with, Navya didn't tell ANYBODY about Anant and her, and to top it off the poor girl was crying her heart out. One would think Appy would keep her own feelings aside and show a little compassion to Navya. Let's see how things play out tonight then. Precaps and promos have been much better in the flow of the story anyway.
4) Dadi talking to Navya about dard and himmat after she brings her the panna to drink...Daadi was suchhh a sweetheart in this scene as she massages Navya's head and talks to her too...Word. 😆 Love how Navya puts up this strong face, this determination to be strong with Daadi's words on being brave. 👏
...his reaction as he leans against the door and just doesn't say anything...that moment where he can hear Navya crying on the phone but he also doesn't have anything to say and is quietly just listening...not wanting to break the connection even when his Mom calls for him... The best scene of this episode. It touched my heart, to say the least. So many emotions depicted, sacrifice, patience, love.. What I like the most right now is the amount of courage they're trying to show to each other, to be patient for each other. & this scene reminded me why I began to like Anant in the first place. The way he was just simply listening to her... Strong, steady Anant, how I missed u last month. 😆 He is someone she can count on, a friend. Finally, we are seeing the beauty of their relationship.
After the impulsive actions they both took in the past few days, in this scene, they both showed immense strength (and subsequently, the reason why we adore AN as 2 individual people).
Btw, sorry my post is so lengthy... =/
