Regarding the 27th episode, I can sum it up in 2 words; near misses ๐ It's to be expected though, after all it's Ekta's speciality. Only Dadi seemed to have noticed Om but apart from her it looks like Om suddenly vanishes whenever any member of the Agarwal family is about to set their eyes on him. It happened more frequently in this episode, I wonder how long this is going to continue, knowing Ekta probably years ๐ But on a serious note guys, Sakshi again stood out. It's amazing how she pulls it off everytime, all credit to her ๐ ๐ Also I have to say that initially I wasn't too keen on Om coming back but I admit Kiran has done a good job playing Rishab and I like his chemistry with Rishika, especially when he suggests a candle lit dinner to her. But the best part was when Parvati was dressing Rishika, how she dolled her up as an Indian wife. Very sweet ๐
Then there was that part where Rishika was conversing her concerns to Samarjeet about Om's past being revealed. It was all very suspicous and you wonder how much she knows. But I think the most significant part of the episode was the end when Kamal falls at Om's feet-this time it's Kamal who's invisible because Om dosen't have the slightest realisation he's knocked someone over ๐ Kamal though recovers and get's back on his feet and get's a look at Om through the window. His eyes widen in shock as he stares through the misted glass.
So there you go guys, yet again we're left hanging with the strongest hint that Rishab is the real Om. And I think it would be a real shame if it turns out this way because the most annoying thing for me about Om's return is that he's been brought back in to pick up the ratings. Was it necessary for the Creatives to revert back to Om? Personnaly, I don't think so. I'm certain they could have done something special with the storyline as it was, especially with the mystery that was Chotu.
Another reason why I don't like his reappearance in the show is because we've been stolen of what could have been between Parvati and Suyesh. I know that Parvati's one and true love is Om but wouldn't it have been a great statement if she had allowed her heart to open up and love again. Allowed herself to be happy again, as I've said before heartache should never be a companion. But now it's fair to say, there's not much of a chance of it happening. All I can hope for now is that they do the best with Rishab's character and not make it predictable.
To finish it off, the last word should go to Sakshi for her performace in the episode; absoulutely brilliant ๐ ๐ ๐
