Today was an ultra-fabulous episode which had the right mix of dazzling drama, lighthearted romance and was, in Vidya Balan's words, entertainment, entertainment and entertainment.π
Pratima counsels Suhani and RagMen instigate Soumya: Started off with a pertinent SuPra scene where Pratima reminds Suhani to redouble her efforts to throw...ahem..nudge Somu out of BH and told her to ask Ankit to woo Soumya just like Suhani has been wooing Dadi. The comparison is definitely apt because in both cases, it's like banging your head against a wall. π€’On the other hand, Soumya was bitching about Suhani to RagMen and I can't believe she had the gall to say, "I don't know how I've been tolerating this irritating girl since childhood". π‘π€’ππΌSoumya, Suhani has been tolerating you and not the other way round, please understand that. Ungrateful wretch. Anyway, the two scenes were juxtaposed well and Suhani goes off to ask Shady Ankit to woo Soumya but he seems to have no interest in her. Anyway, he had to acquiesce to Suhani's demands and agree to woo that wretch. He may be evil, but I feel sorry for him. π
Soumya's fall from grace and YuvAni soaring: Well, looks like Soumya got some just desserts because as she was offloading her anger on her mother, her phone slipped out of her hands, fell and along with it Soumya went over the edge too, as if fate had pushed her. π
A small dedication from my side for our dear Somu-
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again!
There was huge drama and everyone came out of their hiding places. Menka, the court jester announced, sorry shrieked about her fall and Suhani came running, ShaRaj came panting and Ragini came stalking as usual. Poor Suhani, she immediately ran up to save her Soumya but crashed into Menka and had a nasty tumble. π She was still worried for her and egged Yuvraj on to save Soumya, but thankfully, just as her hand was slipping from the banister, it was Shady Ankit who latched on to it while Yuvraj just watched. I was glad that once Ankit caught hold of her, Yuvraj didn't rush to his aid and just stood there. Ankit pulled Somu up and all was well in BH once more. π lol jk, not really, Soumya's still here. Ankit capitalised on the moment and asked Somu out on a date and looks like Soumya has at least one bone of gratitude left in her body because she agreed. π
After such positively heart-stopping bravery, ππ we got some much needed YuvAni romance for our hungry hearts. Suhani got up, but was about to fall due to her injured foot and who, but our Prince, Yuvraj stepped up to steady her. He didn't just steady her, he gathered her in his arms and carried her bridal style to their room. They had such a cute conversation on the way, where Yuvraj plays the role of the concerned husband and asks Suhani when she will stop her battisi π and why was she running up the stairs and not walking up them. He summed up Suhani's indomitable spirit when he said, "Suhani, koi kaam tumhare liye ho ya na ho, karna toh tumhe hai hi". πLooks like you know your wife very well, Mr.Birla.βΊοΈ I loved how she just fit into his arms perfectly and he looked like the lovesick husband who would like nothing more than to carry her around all the time.
Once he did carry her into their room, he placed her on the bed gingerly like she was a glass figurine, and tells her he is going to call the doctor for her but Suhani refuses saying she has borne such bruises ever since childhood and knows it's a minor one. He then calls her Shahenshahπ and asks her why she never listens to him. π Yuvi, your wife is not such an easy client to deal with.
Then, Suhani got up and she fell into his arms again and they share a lovely, smile-inducing gaze. π³ Sharad enters then and they start bantering. Jealous Yuvi makes an appearance and he asks Suhani to take help from her Ankit or Sharad, her Bachchan saab. Another highlight was Yuvraj calling Sharad BHABHI KA CHAMCHA. π€£ Suhani says that more than Yuvi, Sharad should be jealous of Ankit 'cause he used to like Soumya π² and poor Sharad topples from his chair and Yuvraj gasps in shock at that accusation. Thank God Suhani got rid of THAT idea or Sharad would be doomed.
I think both husband and wife are out to destroy Sharad's life with Somu and hope your prediction doesn't come true, Sandia. πSharad outright denies that he likes Somu.
Everything is fair in love and war: The CVs chose a symbolic battle of carrom to close the episode and it was truly indicative of how this war will play out in the future.βοΈπ There was a battle between Ankit, the College Champion and Yuvraj, The Prince of All Times where Soumya thought she was the Queen they were battling for, but how wrong she was. I believe the Queen who this war is being fought over is none other than our naive Suhani. It was an intense battle of equals where the result hinged on who managed to net the Queen. I think the funniest moment was when Soumya leans on the table and says she is waiting to see who would net the Queen, and Yuvraj says irritatedly, "Uska intezaar tum seedhe baithke bhi kar sakti ho, board pe latakne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai". π€£I love snarky Yuvraj! Ankit was about to use a shortcut, but Suhani stops him saying if he is a true champion, he shouldn't use shortcutsπ while Soumya counters her that sometimes, you have to take shortcuts to get what you want. Ankit tries his best but fails while Yuvraj nets the Queen fair and square. He then says that he has not only won the Queen but the game too. βοΈ Ankit then asks Soumya to get ready and Soumya pleads with Suhani to go with her on a double date. Mehwish, the CVs have taken a cue from your FF. ππβοΈ
