Fari I so knew you were going to complain about him sitting and staring at the moon rather than doing something 😆 But I loved that scene. I am all for the romance that in inherent in (temporary) separation 😳 Plus I think its good they are showing him thinking - he is a man prone to action. I am glad to see that he is changing his ways - wonder who did that to him 😉 He is regrouping - we all need some time to plan before we take a task on. As Raj said he will soon find the strength to go out and do something.
Regarding your comment about all the scenes showing that he was missing her as one misses a bai 😆 I initially felt the same way. I was like "What is this zaroorat, zaroorat?" Although during the moon scene they did show some romantic memories - the Sindoor scene, the holi dance, the tub scene, the hug, the terrace scene. So it was a good mix. Then I thought for Mr. Akdoo to even acknowledge that he needs anyone in his life is a big deal - she has become his need because he has allowed her inside his life. And that's a big step for him.
We should understand that this is love after marriage which honestly is very different from love before marriage. It is not as though they have sat for hours talking about their hopes and dreams and fallen in love with each other in the process. They've started sharing their lives and in the process fit into each other and discovered that despite all the crap that is inherent in sharing your life with someone, you still want to share your life with them. Because this person does something more for you. Its a different kind of love this. It is based on her becoming a part of his life first; so he has to acknowledge that she is an irreplaceable part of his life before moving on. It's not like he can divorce her and throw her out because - as he said - he is incomplete without her. Because honestly romance in a marriage ebbs and flows. But its the fact that he has given her space in his life, that is very important. And this space is not for her to find his shirts and shoes and pen. But to take charge of his life because she feels responsible for it, because she cares for him. Would a maid do that for you? (Sorry about the lamba bhashan - I think Siddhi is rubbing off on me 😲)
Finally about the future track I am going to agree with Sahasra, that this is going in the right direction. There will be some outpouring of emotion when they meet and feelings will be shared. After that they will get together and present a united front to Veena.
Annie, so here is my bit from the EDT in reply to yours & adding to it...
Annie I know im being overly critical today, but i hated that fb about her putting his shirts & shoes in place🤢
besides all those other fbs you mentioned like the holi tub etc were all from Siddhi's side, not his. So it really looked as if he only needs her as the housekeeper & it didnt gel that he has already admitted to himself in the past that he loves her, even if he is still trying to thwart those feelings. At a time like this, I would have expected him to be pacing up & down the room, worried sick & not being able to keep control over those feelings of love that he has kept repressed so well, so far.
I dont know, I just found it totally lacking today, maybe they intend really stretching this out, so they want to show a really slowww progression😆
Sure, we know its love after marriage, didnt she dislike him as much as he did earlier? But we've come a long way since that, such a long way that Kunal has infact admitted to being in love with Siddhi to himself even before he realized his need for her. Now during a time when he should be like an emotional roller coaster wondering whether she is hurt, dead or alive, he is seen calmly staring at the moon, missing the way she folds his shirts? Sorry, cant stomach it. Yes you are right, he has to acknowledge that she is an irreplaceable part of his life, but irreplaceable in what? finding his files, fetching his tea? There could have been use of countless better fbs, like the one where their feet touch in bed, the one where he holds her hand when she does arti for Raveena... but no, every one of them was only selfishly need based, that's why the "bai" reference. In retrospect yesterday was so much better, he missed her, he pondered & blushed over a little pvt joke, he even used an excuse to call her. Today, it feels like he is thinking " oh hell, now that she is gone, this room is gonna be a mess". When you talk of progression, I was thinking 5% more emotive than yesterday, instead I got 10% less So no, it didnt flow well from yesterday to today, but Im not blaming the actor, its the script that I found lacking. Samir did his job as well as usual. Under the circumstances, mouthing those flat lines, he couldnt have emoted any better than he did.
About the future track, I have no doubts that they will unite & handle Veena together, but why do they have to botch up what could be such a beautiful process?
Noreen yaar, sorry for these long posts, you must be hating having me on your thread😆
