Maybe it's the space and distance from the show and the forum. Maybe it's the fact that I know Sanam will be making her escape soon in the upcoming episodes. Maybe it's seeing the new Title Card and Aahil and Sanam's looks. Maybe it's the fact that I marathoned the episodes rather than going through the process of watching each daily.
P.P.S. I am glad they didn't focus on the Rehan-Sanam aspect and Aahil jealousy/suspicions possibility.
But whatever the case...last week was really not a bad watch. When I read the WUs, what made me think i had lost connectivity was the contract marriage retcon. And I think even after watching, that aspect I am not connected with. It's not that I am not familiar with retcons, but something about this one makes me disconnected. (And it is indeed a retcon--it could never have been a contract/temporary marriage from the start because if it were Tanveer would never have needed to insist on Divorce papers again and again.)
I thought I would be done after catching up with the last week and once the remarriage aspect appeared. But surprisingly, I didn't find last week's episodes a chore to watch, and though I still a not pleased with the contract marriage deadline, it did not make me want to quit watching.
As for why I didn't find last week's episodes bad. That is a bit harder to explain. Which I am not really up to right now. In some ways, it may be because I grew up watching soap operas, and to me a lot of it really did feel like a watchable soap.
And last but not least, Shout out to ma girl, Begum Sahiba and her wardrobe and style. :)
(Unfortunately, some intern at Zee forgot to upload Friday's episode in HD)
P.S. I really am not up to and don't have time for any long discussion. I just needed to put my thoughts somewhere.
