Salam Namaste dear TP lovers,
It is me again with yet another episode review. It is quite a long one, so be patient and please bear with me 😊 Enjoy!!!
April 28 - Kya yehi pyaar hai...?
We all have been asked this question: you want the good or bad news first? Exactly like that, today's episode can be divided into two parts; good and bad. Personally, I would save the best for the last but unfortunately I have no choice but to start with the good news.
Part 1 - The good news
Whenever we are in a dilemma/problem or want someone's advice we often go to our family, friends or another person who is very dear to us. Why? Because those people know us the best and their advice and help means a lot to us.
However, sometimes it is better to share your problems (or whatever it is) with a person who is a total stranger to you, like a third party. Let me explain it a bit: People who go to see a psychologist are not necessarily people who are crazy or who have lost it. If so, then they would have gone to a psychiatrist instead. People go to a psychologist to seek help. People get confused due to several situations in life, where different factors play a big role in that. They chose not to share their issues with someone from outside. These third parties can be of quite help. Obviously, because they have studied for it (the psychologist) but for others it is pure life experience. This is exactly what we saw today in the first half of the episode.
I am not saying one should not seek help from dear ones, but sometimes those people can become all of a sudden a bit too close. Kabhi kabhi, we need to involve a third party because often they make us see the problem (or whatever it is) from a different angle, with a new perspective. And that is, most of the time, a positive one.
Pichle ek hafte se we have seen a new character dimension in Anshuman. That new dimension is called love. It was so obvious for everyone, but only he had not realized it yet...till today. So what of or who made him realize his love for Paakhi? A chit chat with a stranger, a total stranger. Lekin he was not just some ordinary stranger. He was an old man, full of life experiences and most important (in this case) a man who has been together with his wife for the past 40 years, still very much in love. Anshuman could have gone to Girish or Lavanya for asking help or advice, but I don't think they could have made him realize that feeling the way the old man did...
Part 2 - The bad news
A head over heels Anshuman can't wait to express his love. Paakhi is in the same boat, she waits eagerly for him to run into his arms. Unfortunate situations do come in our lives; some are just not in our control. Theek issi tarah, a storm came into Anshuman's life and turned his life upside down. We saw him hesitating whether this Rohan is Paakhi's ex-boyfriend or not but he brushed it off his mind. Thumbs up. What follows next is even bigger than that: positive pregnancy reports. Still not believing that horrendous piece of information, he calls the doctor to check and to confirm. To his horror, he gets the confirmation and whatever happened after that is right there in front of our eyes: A highly confused Anshuman.
In full preparation Paakhi waits for him to come back and tell her those three words, she has been waiting for a very long time. In a bit filmy way, we hear her recording and some glimpses of her anklets and choodiyan. As if Anshuman was not already confused enough about his feelings, it got even worse with Paakhi's surprise' for him...
Favorite scenes/dialogues:
- Conversation between Paakhi and Lavanya: these two did had their shares of downs but now it is time for their ups (hopefully). Lavanya knows about Paakhi so called ex-boyfriend Rohan. Does this mean she will support her?
- Anshuman's realization: that happy love waala dance was childish yet very cute.
- The big shock: The confusion, the doubt, the thought, the horror was so evident on his face, it gave me goose bumps. I could feel the suffocation he went through right there at that moment.
Point to be noted: Paakhi in a white saree. We all know that white stands for purity. Paakhi is still as pavitra and paak as before, uski daman mein koi bhi daag nahin.
Precap: As human beings, we have two inner voices; the good one (angel) and the bad one (devil). The latter is the scariest and often that is the one we tend to listen to whenever we are in a negative confusion (created by others). The same happens in tomorrow's episode. The devilish inner voice comes alive and confronts Anshuman about his trust and faith in Paakhi. What happens next is something we all are waiting for.
Needless to say, this episode belonged to the one and only Iqbal Khan. His happiness was nothing in comparison to the shock he got in the second half. This man knows how to act and we got a glimpse of that yet again. Yes a glimpse, because every time we think we have seen all his acting skills he succeeds to impress us. Like I said, I got goose bumps from his expressions and that horrible news even suffocated me. Well, if someone is being able to give that feeling to a viewer by merely using his expression, then the only place for that person can be on the top. And that is exactly where he belongs (at least on my list).
We are in for some high intense drama, especially after the article of Paakhi leaving the house and a new character. Will discuss about that when the time is there.
The zor ka jhatka has been given to Anshuman. He will pass that on to Paakhi . Is that what one does in love? No one said love is the simplest feeling in the world. Lekin it is one of the most pure, honest and sincere feelings in the world. Love does not come easy; some of us must fight for it. Paakhi has been fighting it ever since she stepped into the Rathore Mansion. Now it is time for Anshuman to fight against all odds in order to discover that pure, honest and sincere feeling called love.
Kya yehi pyaar hai? Haan, pyaar yehi hoti hain. Kyunki Paakhi ke bina Anshuman ka dil lagata nahin...
