Stepping into the dark... 24.3.2015

OMG today's episode was nerve wracking. There were hair raising and sickening moments, also wolf whistle moments too, but interesting nevertheless.

Aahil reaches the injured Sanam2, broken glass all over her. She plays the melodramatic diva, refusing Aahil's halfhearted concern with crocodile tears.

She plays the drama card, guilt tripping Aahil into faking his concern a little more convincingly.

While Aahil gets ready for the press conference, he gets a call from the staff of the obstetrician clinic. She wants to meet Aahil urgently, she needed to show him something. He agrees, and turns around to Sanam2.

Dressed in a black modern sari. <gorgeous outfit I must say, looks amazing on Additi.> Aahil looks mildly annoyed, Why are you dressed like this?

" I must show the press that my husband keeps me well, not that he is an abuser, who hits his wife... we better put up a solid loving front to the press... I am not averse to showing them my scars... what will they say??"

She smirks malevolently, as Aahil realizes how he got trapped into this situation. I think he finally realized that Sanam2 is no innocent, damsel-in-distress type, she is very calculating and manipulative.

<I loved this scene. KV and Additi oozed electricity of a different kind, locking horns in battle, smirk vs frown. Awesome performance guys!>

"You can tame horses, but not lions..."

Aahil doesn't back down. "I'll come out there with you not because I have no choice, but because I was brought up that way. I don't succumb to blackmail you get it?!"

<Awesome scene really... KV and Additi have a striking dynamic. I'd love it if Aahil makes a habit of fighting back and snubbing her like this !>

They walk out and Sanam2 clings onto his arm. It cloys him, and he can't help it, despite his repulsion. As he walks, he feels Sanam far away, feels her hand in his.

Sanam, far away, is walking hand in hand with Shaad to their walima. She wonders why she isn't feeling as happy as she should, considering everything is going so well for her.

Back in Bhopal, Sanam2 suddenly slithers into confident poise, enjoying the attention of the press, speaking very proprietorially of Aahil as a husband. Aahil rolls his eyes by her side, obviously having indigestion over it all.

A reporter asks about Sanam, and he speaks emotionally, My Sanam will be back with me soon, I am confident, we are continuing to search... Sanam2 sees her efforts going up in smoke and brings the ball back into her court...

Our Sanam never made me feel like a third wheel, she will be back. But until then, I will not let anyone in my family feel her absence...

<Ugh...>

The girl with the X-ray film appears, tries to show Aahil the film but he is pulled away by reporters. She is terrified by the sight of Sanam2 and flees the house.

Far away, all the guests at the walima faint after being sprinkled by the rose water. All except Sanam. She is terrified and runs out for fresh air, and in jumps Shashi Kapoor...

precap: Shashi Kapoor unmasks...

Aahil sees Sanam2 just standing there... with her feet turned backwards the wrong way... and she smiles at him in full view...

Seriously, that was the creepiest precap, ever.
