😆 LOL yes Soumya does have SOME chops...today I also felt she did very well...she didn't let the epi down...Shaheer was obviously superb but Soumya held her own too and really made you feel for Navya and just give her a hug and tell her that everything will be ok...to inspire those protective feelings in the audience as well is testament to her acting abilities surely :-) Ditto! 😆

And I agree about that expression of Anant's as well...god there were just TOO many nuances in this epi...so hard to cover everything...it's like you want to talk about EVERY moment after a point, haina?😆 Haan yaar!!! Every single moment was just deliciously discuss-worthy. I think I should seriously stop now, though. Have to save some compliments/criticisms for future episodes (though I STILL haven't exhausted this topic). 😛

That moment was sooo touching...if I was a more emotional person, I'd have cried...but I was very touched for sure...and I'm SO glad that they didn't ruin the moment with any cheesy dialogues about aankhein or whatever...that moment was just about the emotions that were expressed through their eyes...through that gesture...awesome acting and direction...yes the time for the 3 words will come later I guess but somehow I'm FAR more touched that they AREN'T saying that directly...their actions and the way they look at each other is far more touching. Totally concur. Again, no one can put this in words as well as you have! 😆

And that is the interesting part naa...they are teenagers who are dealing with this rush of first love...but at the same time they DO show maturity and don't suddenly forget their families...yes I too felt very bad for them in that moment...you get swept up in the moment as you said and you almost do want Navya to agree...but she did the right thing...she didn't lose her head...also probably easier for her cuz she isn't getting tortured by an Addams family nightmare😆...oh and before I forget to mention it...I LOVED Anant's outburst about how they didn't do ANYTHING wrong...that really made me awww...they really haven't done anything wrong, I agree...yes there have been impulses but they never crossed any line...I felt really sorry for Anant there...bechara.That is what I meant, Anu. 😆 I was so engrossed in the moment that it physically prevented me from standing up from my chair and applaud her bravery, lol. I am one of those people who get sentimental immensely and I often cry while watching movies *sheepish* though rarely while watching serials. I admit though, even if I don't bawl my eyes during emotional scenes in serials, my eyes do get suspiciously wet while watching the recent episodes of Navya.
(@ underlined bit, I completely forgot about that scene. O_O Like you mentioned, so many nuances!)
Also, I truly believe in standing by one's beliefs and for that, I appreciate and respect Navya's character. She shows that her parents' efforts to bring her up well weren't in vain.

The biggest Awww moment of today: "Agar main saath nahin rahunga...toh bhi saath bitaaye lamhon ko yaad karke hasogi? I--d--iot" 😆🤣
LOL what a moment that was...to laugh there in the middle of such an emotional scene...the emotional, affectionate yet chiding tone with which he says that to her...touched my heart...Shaheer enacted that so well.
So true... It was completely unexpected and enchanting! & I love how he enunciated it, LOL.

*stunned silence* *finally gathers wits to speak* Nahinnn ... *screams dramatically* Yeh kadapi nahin ho sakta ... The skies must've split apart, the sun must've risen from the west, the holy ganga must be flowing reverse! Anu and I actually agreeing with each other???!!!!???? And that too word for word? *shocked muh* 😆

BRILLIANT is the only word that comes to mind Anu. The way you've captured every emotion is so picturesque that I don't even have to watch the serial anymore ... all I have to do is come to this post and read through your list 😊

Shaheer was undoubtedly at his best yesterday ... he played Anant to the hilt. Never did I feel that he had walked out of his character. And Soumya is getting better as well. Navya as a person has this inherent strength within her which she herself doesn't realize. She plays a coy, reticent and introvert person, but doesn't play the damsel in distress card. I think her innate strength is what must've first attracted Anant to her. Beneath her shyness and her innocence, lies a Navya would doesn't hesitate to take the initiative to call Anant when Sonia is in danger, doesn't hesitate to pay the caustic queen a visit, doesn't hesitate to get off the bus to for Anant, doesn't hesitate to venture into the boys room and doesn't hesitate to call Anant and tell that she's fine and that he shouldn't have to choose her over his family. Why will a nice, kind and sane boy like Anant NOT fall in love with her?

*sigh* It is an uphill battle to climb kiddos ... it is not going to be easy. First they have to convince themselves that the other person is worth fighting for and then they have to convince their families ... the first part is actually harder than the second one... Your mind is a strange thing. Because once you convince yourself entirely, you find the courage and the right things to say to convince the world. Whereas, if you have any second guesses or apprehensions on whether you are doing the right thing or not, your efforts come out as half hearted often leading to failure.

After catching certain new shows on SP, a newfound love for 'Navya' has blossomed in me!😆

The way the characters have been dealt with is commendable. True they have adhered to their own set of cliches but the treatment on this liking-attraction-infatuation-.. has been shown in such a subtle way. Instead of resiting the attraction only to the physical aspect of it, the CV's have tried to delve deeper and come up with a more appealing story.

Yesterday's episode was 👏 . Loved every bit of it, every action was fully in place. Although Soumya's expressions did go a l'le petrified for a while, I think she carried it off. Shaheer ne toh dil jeet liya! Attaboy!

Yesterday's convo took AN's relationship to a new level. It wasnt OTT. It wasnt pyaar-mohabbat stereotyped vaadein. It wasnt overtly childish. It was sweet and simple. I like the way Navya still stuck to her achha lagta hai lines. Though initially I didnt like Anant's outburst too much, I was like kya rotlu ladhka hai, but the acting prowess of Shaheer got the better of me. You could empathise with the dejection , the pain, and his inability to deal with the situation.

The I-diot was 😃ahh, refreshing. From the shonas, the jaanus and dahlings of tellydom, this idiot was quite a change.

But according to me the whole 'Why me' part was the best. That is the most basic reaction, that most candyfloss serials seem to miss. Either the hero is busy pining for his girl in some godforsaken forest, with the quintessential daaru in his hands or he's off to avange some woesome murder.

Anant sat and discussed this with Navya. The whole talk-and-sort part of it is working amazingly well in this case! Ritz and Appy are sensible friends, I like it.

From the precap, it looks like Anant has finally found his tongue infront of CSB. Om Namash Shivay! lol

BRILLIANT is the only word that comes to mind Anu. The way you've captured every emotion is so picturesque that I don't even have to watch the serial anymore ... all I have to do is come to this post and read through your list 😊 Aww thanks, LadyM😳...it was just an emotional output...I can't even phrase it as eloquently as you.

Shaheer was undoubtedly at his best yesterday ... he played Anant to the hilt. Never did I feel that he had walked out of his character. And Soumya is getting better as well. Navya as a person has this inherent strength within her which she herself doesn't realize. She plays a coy, reticent and introvert person, but doesn't play the damsel in distress card.

Beneath her shyness and her innocence, lies a Navya would doesn't hesitate to take the initiative to call Anant when Sonia is in danger, doesn't hesitate to pay the caustic queen a visit, doesn't hesitate to get off the bus to for Anant, doesn't hesitate to venture into the boys room and doesn't hesitate to call Anant and tell that she's fine and that he shouldn't have to choose her over his family. Why will a nice, kind and sane boy like Anant NOT fall in love with her? Awesome point, LadyM! LOVE how you put this👏👏...totally agree...she DOESN'T play the damsel in distress even though she is a very introverted and emotional girl otherwise...but there is strength beneath it all...a maturity that rises up at crucial moments...reaching as far back as to the hospital scene when Anant says the same to her as he teases her about her sambhli hui baatein. Then she is just as capable of a caustic taunt as well like you said...lol...there are so many layers to her...but at the heart of everything is this very endearing innocence and naivete...it's GENUINE innocence...not affected...and she herself is unaware of why that pulls in Anant so...really how could he help but fall for her?😆

*sigh* It is an uphill battle to climb kiddos ... it is not going to be easy. First they have to convince themselves that the other person is worth fighting for and then they have to convince their families ... the first part is actually harder than the second one... Your mind is a strange thing. Because once you convince yourself entirely, you find the courage and the right things to say to convince the world. Whereas, if you have any second guesses or apprehensions on whether you are doing the right thing or not, your efforts come out as half hearted often leading to failure. Excellent point again, LadyM...I think it is Navya who has to struggle more to convince herself first...Anant already has in many ways although there is still a ways to go...but Navya does not have that courage at all at this point to be 100% convinced that this is worth fighting for...when she reaches that stage, that is when they will both put up a united front...right now, Anant alone obviously can't accomplish this by himself...and along the way will be many roadblocks, many difficulties but each circumstance will make them discover themselves and this bond b/w them in an even better manner...I'm intrigued to see that journey...let's hope the creatives live up to the promise they've now built up😆

@Red- Lady, you are a prolific writer and an amazing analyst. I guess we are realised Navya's innate strength but couldnt put in across as beautifully as you have. The whole convincing yourself first part is so true, that is what yesterday's whole convo was 'bout.

Love is a complex emotion, AN will learn it the hard way I guess!

LOL yes indeed...watching certain new shows on SP does give me a whole newfound appreciation for Navya too😛😆...this show has GENUINELY shown a different treatment to this relationship and many others in this show...yes there have been cliches but otherwise the story has a sensitivity to it that pulls you in...it is not dependent on lame 'trip-catch' cliches to show the "bonding" b/w the protagonists.

Yesterday's convo took AN's relationship to a new level. It wasnt OTT. It wasnt pyaar-mohabbat stereotyped vaadein. It wasnt overtly childish. It was sweet and simple.

You could empathise with the dejection , the pain, and his inability to deal with the situation. LOL...mujhe Anant rotlu nahin laga...because as I always say...he's an emotionally overwhelmed kid in many ways...you are free to disagree😛😆...but the entire situation was about their innocent yet turbulent emotions...the fact that he was crying showed just how overwrought he was...it touched me...and yes, Shaheed's fab portrayal of Anant's emotions really helped too...

The I-diot was 😃ahh, refreshing. From the shonas, the jaanus and dahlings of tellydom, this idiot was quite a change. Ohooo so have you been a SHONA/JAANU fan at some point?😛😆

But according to me the whole 'Why me' part was the best. That is the most basic reaction, that most candyfloss serials seem to miss. Totally agree...that 'why me?' was very genuine and a very realistic reaction...most shows are indeed too candyfloss to bother with realistic details...this is where Navya stands apart.

Either the hero is busy pining for his girl in some godforsaken forest, with the quintessential daaru in his hands or he's off to avange some woesome murder. It is easier to conjure up a "story" in these cliches so most shows take this route...Navya is actually shaping up the emotional bonding b/w all the characters, especially AN so nicely...they aren't falling into easy cliches...

I know the lot 😛. Thought of expressing my views on certain tyrip-and-fall shows on their forum, later resisted. Dont have time to handle virtual Ghamasaan yudhs 😆

Hey Anu😊...feels great to be back in the forum n start reading your posts...as usual, fantastic analysis by you...and my my...a lot has changed, hasn't it...but for the good i presume...honestly, i was braced for the worst...but the show seems 2 have shaped up beautifully ...and i'm oh so rejoicing the return of the sober anant...good scenes, good bgm, good performances,good pace...all in all, it has been quite a ride with the cast n crew of navya, the past few episodes...well, moving over to my take on this episode...

1. the appy-ritz scene: perfect description by you...this was one realistic take on friendship...friendship is not something restricted to the bonding of like-minded people...appy n ritz are as different as chalk n cheese...their purpose might be the same...to protect and support navya...but they have a different way of showing it...despite all these differences, they strive to understand each other...this gang of friends is an assortment of people and therein lies its beauty...

2. anant requesting navya to talk with him: after friday's epi, i thought he would literally force navya into talking..but its quite nice that he was politely requesting her to come with him...i guess, he really dint wanna push her into doing things, considering it has brought him more trouble than ever before...not 2 mention ritz also highlighted this point...but anant being anant, desperately wanted that second chance, without being vociferous about it...and i breathed a sigh of relief along with anant when navya agreed to go with him...nice understanding between them there...it was like "lets get done with this...no more procrastination"...

3.the car scene: well, you guys have literally analysed every nook n corner of that scene...and its a big nod from my side, to whatever u have expressed...its been quite a while since any show reached out to me in the emotional front...my heart was all heavy after watching this scene...to quote you, i just felt bad for these poor kids😉 😆...just when we thought it was all about navya's feelings for anant...u have a googly waiting there...it is also about anant's feelings for navya...i loved it when he said " hamare beech jo bhi hua, woh galat nahi tha...hamne koi burayi nahi ki"...a wonderful touch of realism there...true, isn't it...how many of us stop short of confessing our love, just bcoz we are worried what the society will think about us...and did papa ki navya just resurface yesterday??... well,now its her turn to make the decision...papa ya anant?? the two most important men in her life...the relationship differs, but u realise how similar their emotions are when it comes 2 navya...even deepak cant bear 2 see navya crying...i bet navya will have a tough time compared 2 anant in sorting out her priorities...

4.my next favorite was that IDIOT part...he really hasn't gotten over that 'haq' thing, has he...and he threw this small faint smile when he said " saat bitaye huye lamhon ko yaad karke hasogi", as if it was the most ridiculous thing navya could ever come up with...the innocence in this love is still intact...even in the scene where he wiped away her tears...so earnest and sincere, just like the way young kids wipe tears...soumya's expressions in this scene was just...whoa...her helpless look when anant was throwing an array of questions at her...man, her eyes were literally screaming " main tumhare bagair nahi reh sakti"...

5. ummm...he need not have followed her to her doorstep...but i felt anant wanted to know navya's thoughts before he took the next step...he needs to know if she is ready 2 jump into untested waters along with him for the sake of their love...for me, more than anant's dialogue in this scene, i loved the deep breath he took, closing his eyes, gaining some composure and then framing his thoughts into words... navya's answer is, for sure, put on hold now...it'll be interesting to see how she comes around...

one thing though...i'm pretty glad, they are focusing on the inner conflict these teenagers are facing...i was expecting the CVs to portray all this anguish and pain thru family drama, considering the usual trend...but this current track took me by surprise...in my opinion, unless these kids find an answer to their inner turmoil, there is no point in confronting their families...i want anant and navya to have a strong motive and reason before they start fighting for their love...agree with what u said about anant having gained some strength n confidence...but his character should grow from strength to strength...and i really dont want him doing something stupid out of impulsiveness...it would be interesting to see how he fights for his love without breaking away from his principled framework...for all i know, he will not ditch his family for navya, nor will he ditch navya for his family...true,he was pissed off by the fact that his family will never understand his love...but he stopped at that...and this is where i'm gonna bring in the question he has for CSB in 2day's epi...lets see how intelligently anant plays this game...
