Just finished the episode. Agree that Khalid was awesome as always both with Shreya and Manav. Manav's humanity is non-existent. Whatever people might have felt that Ronnie' death maybe the trigger for him and his look of guilt when he was watching from the hospital window, all that is hogwash! He just wanted to save his skin and make sure he wasn't connected to Ronnie's death and in a way am glad the makers decided not to redeem him. Let him keep on being the self-centered kameena that he is!
Kabir's scene with Ananya was of course poignant and the quiet tears flowing just added to it. But the poor guy never catches a break, does he? He needs to keep on being strong but all those extreme emotions inside of him guilt,anger, remorse, fear, determination, grief...needed some kind of outlet and the lashing out he gave RG was probably that for him. The slap was the physical portion of the outlet. But what was the hand gesture he made to RG in the end? Didn't catch the significance of that.
For me, Richa stood out in this episode. Her alternating bouts of calmness and extreme emotional outbursts were very believable, and usually its after everything happens and the feeling starts to sink in and you actually start to deal with the person not being there anymore, that's when it starts to really hit you..the pain! And Richa (the actor playing her) was really good at conveying this. Especially when she read her bulletin keeping her emotions in tight rein and allowing glimpses of anger to surface to keep her from breaking down and then the immediate breaking down after she went off air... 👏. It was very effective.
Kabir.. well, my heart goes out to him. It feels like he's alone even now, after he's been alone all his life! It reminded me of that scene where he wears the look of sad resignation as he leaves his dada's place as though accepting that this will be his fate from now on..he's destined to be alone I know he has to be strong for everyone but even the strongest people need catharsis and here I wish they had a scene of him with Tarini..really breaking down. Or even by himself. Ananya needs to wake up and show that she's his strength now and will fight the battle with him side by side.
Btw do you think we might have a deus ex machina in the form of the owner who placed Shreya at KKN? That he might crop up at the climactic moment ?
