I'm sorry but god the way Dhruv looked at her... I mean Utkarsh and Paarth I'd say both are spot on in their expressions over the transition of feelings they feel. Literally the way Dhruv looked at Nandu , it made you feel the first blooming and realizations of love one feels for someone which we have not actually seen from his expressions or face before even when he cared about her. The fact that we realized his own realization , and the slow processing of it from solely the way he looks at her is impressive. Similarly I feel the way Paarth initially showed Manik's dilemma of having his first reflex in wanting to aid Nandini when she was injured and then consequently gathering himself up and living up to his superficial image was again done so naturally through the transition of his expressions - it was as smooth as a flowing brook stream - the worry on his face- the defense right after - the denial. SPOT ON. And finally , Navya actually is having some real , believable moments as a character in the past 2-3 episodes instead of just wasting Veebha's talent of making seem Navya like nothing but a comic relief , and a substance less character. I think the actor deserves more than that. And the title because , I just couldn't get over the way Dhruv looked at Nandu and said that to her , and Nandu did not even understand from where this is coming from or whether if it's coming from anything at all. The way she reflexes on Dhruv trying to touch her face just reminds me of James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" , and the pain of unrequited love in that song. i know my heart's bound to break in the future but like Dido says , I'm going down with this ship š . Also , regarding Manik-Alya. 7 years is not a joke. You have almost spent your entire life with a person and then suddenly events and situations begin to tell you that the one person you thought you are going to grow old with , is not meant to be with you is so so HARD to accept.People who have been in relationships I think will definitely understand that feeling- How we are so scared of being alone cause we don't know how our life will be without that one person we are used to every second of our lives, is scary and that's why we hold onto them even tighter even if both people are like chalk and cheese. I think , to put it aptly , Alya's feelings for Manik are almost like what Manik feels for Dhruv. It's really sad actually. Another thing that I actually appreciate about Alya's character is how she views intimacy as being an expression of emotion instead of molding into the stereotype of how westernized individuals are shown to say things like , - "Chill out yaar.It was just a kiss." Personally , I have many friends who believe and perceive intimacy in this way and no , it is not a bad thing. It is just a way of perception , of thinking of viewing our daily interactions in life. Nothing is bad or good.I think , at the end of the day , as long as we are able to live with the choices , decisions or mistakes we make , face the consequences of it and learn from it, I don't see anything bad in it. Everything is nothing but a way of looking at things , just because those views are different , you cannot categorize them into labels of good and bad. I think that's too simplistic and shallow in a way. It's just that media has stereotyped so many images , for example , that girls who have traditional ideals of love probably dress traditionally in kurtis and do pujas everyday , and the urban youth that wear westernized or cropped clothing are always stereotyped to be thinkers of viewing intimacy as daily interaction that means nothing. I am sick of this pathetic shallow stereotyping cause it's WRONG and complete bullshit.But the way Alya has broken down about how Manik was the first boy she held hands with , first kissed defies those usual shallow stereotypes about girls portrayed to be a part of the urban , westernized Indian youth in television we see in every serial and for that I'm very greatful for. Also , I hate how the Male lead character is always not given any criticism regarding how sexual they were in their past relationships or experiences but the female lead always has to be inexperienced , "pure" , "untouched" , as if she's not human but ghee š¤¢. Also , through Mukti's character thank god The telly world shows that it's okay for one of the main female characters to be sexually experienced , to be understandable about the modern world and the way it goes around instead of always being naive , clumsy and unaware of things that apparently make them seem innocent bordering on the line of stupidity. I think that's another reason why I kind of like this show cause it is so much more real unlike the other Hindi shows , *head desk* š. Phew, that's all.
PS- Rose , hands off Dhruv .š” He's mine!šš Oh and another thing , why is Utkarsh so good looking. AAggh! š
