"Maine Anand se bahut pyar kiya tha, lekin jis waqt maine aap se shadi ki thi na, ussi waqt maine soch liya tha, ki aaj ke baad dheere dheere, mujhe aap hi ko apna pyar, apna pati apna sab kuch manna hai"
Really?? Is that what I have been watching since Anand died & they got married? I thought she couldn't stand the sight of Kunal at the time, she forced herself to marry him for the love of Anand & for his mother. I could have sworn she looked daggers at him when he applied the sindoor, she dragged her feet while taking the pheras. She even had to be reminded by Seema, that whether she liked it or not, she was married to Kunal. She didn't even want to do the karvachaut ritual. Yes, she gave the marriage all she had, but that initially was, more out of a sense of responsibility than some pledge she'd made to herself to love & honor her husband & embrace her new life. It was never her intention to make him, her sab kuch, in life.
Every little shared moment since then, every BG song clearly articulated that love had come to her softly & slowly., when she least expected it. Then why this completely out of place dialogue!? Which dimwitted creative head allowed such unthoughtfulness that it belied Kunal & Siddhi's entire journey, changed the very crux of the story!
And which knuckleheaded director didn't insist on a retake & allowed the usually 10 expressions a minute Samir Soni to go through the scenes with that dead pan look on his face? She said she loved him, where was the shock, surprise, relief, pleasure...anything? on his face?!! For crikes sake, the promo was a lot more emotive than the actual episode! He looked younger, more spruced up, not so tired & yes more in love! What happened? Throughout the episode, he looked tired & bored, like he'd rather be someplace else, maybe he was getting late for some spa opening!đĄ
There were other massive tech. oversights & bloopers through this very important episode but, Im going to save myself the bother of ranting, bcz it doesn't serve any purpose. The blighted confession happened, that's all that matters to the mass audience. Details? What's that?! That's only something you learn about in school'. that is, if one is lucky enough to get a decent education.
Oh, I know, Im not supposed to think while watching EK's shows, hard as I may try to suspend my brain activity, there is no stopping the message from the eyes reaching the upper story. What to do? I seem to have an IQ slightly over that of room temperature.
As for me, Im attempting to put the episode out of my head, by rewinding to the yet unmatched Holi confession.
