Thank you Nur! Miss discussing the show with you guys.. @Tanya: I agree, though she has been a little more sensible in these two episodes. I wonder who is a bigger annoyance.. Tanya or Lavanya? 😆 Loved today's episode. I love these two for being so rich in conversations.. the love, pain and complexity of what they share came through beautifully. Also how Anshuman is still scared of the idea that he will lose Paakhi forever once she goes away was beautifully done. The heartbeat moment was so sweet and poignant.. Sad how every conversation of theirs led to something painful. Its an inevitable part of them right now... Like Anshuman said yesterday.. the bond they have holds more pain than happiness and that rang true today. There were answers and then so many more questions.. Precap looks promising indeed. I love the intensity of his admission.. Iqbal and Shraddha have been amazing!
I miss discussing the show with you too, man but sadly the show has gone into stagnation mode a bit with these maha-epis and then the extension on the original storyline...the fillers are frankly VERY obvious and in b/w I even stopped watching for a bit...only the bit with Ayaan finding the truth brought me back cuz frankly I'm not interested in watching two women having petty catfights over Anshuman...Paakhi as a character is above this kind of pettiness and all this challenge nonsense showing them fighting over Anshuman like a piece of meat is really demeaning to watch to say the least.
Anyways coming back to what's been good the past few days...yes they are touching upon the important bits in continuation like Anshuman's fear of losing her and I'm glad to see that too...also loved the throwback to the Chaand-Rohini story today cuz that's one of my fav. early scenes of theirs...the fact that they still hold on to the original threads of the story and even as they take detours into filler land, they are overall hanging on to those threads and weaving them together...that keeps me watching.
While it's good that there is that sense of transparency b/w them now, I find it painful to watch Paakhi laying her soul so bare in front of him...not even worried about her self-respect or dignity as she faces constant rejection...she deserves better but all she gets is a confused Anshuman romancing cheapo Tanya...what joy *rolls eyes*...
I wish Paakhi could hide her feelings better and not be shown to be wasting her time in catfights with Tanya...instead again and again she has to ask these questions to Anshuman when he himself doesn't know the answers.
That said, the precap is very touching...the emotion on Paakhi's face...yes, Shraddha and Iqbal have been doing a wonderful job.
One more bit I loved...the way Anshuman shushed her when she was protesting him putting the coat on her...Iqbal's voice *sigh*😆
