Hi, everyone! I will keep it short this time.
A lot of good things happened, but nothing worth talking about. Mostly the episode is a setup for what will happen tomorrow or next week.
Shesha poisoned Hrithik so the raheja's cannot go to the Havan. It was only harmful enough to cause a severe stomach ache but Shivanya was scared nonetheless. Anyone hear what she said? "Rithik main tumhe kuch nahin hone dungi" so much desperation and love in those words, she is more attached to him than she thinks.
While shesha is quiet happy with her handiwork, Shivanya is not and she made sure to let it be known. She threatened shesha to stay away from rithik with so much intensity that it left both of them shocked and worried. I love their rapport and would hate to see them face off against one another, but I think that is inevitable given that shesha will most likely try to kill rithik to save shivanya
Shivanya realizes she is in too deep, and with rithik around, her naagin powers lessen and she forgets about her revenge. Does that mean the destruction of the naagin inside her already started? This makes way for a happy ending but what does it mean otherwise? Maybe her powers will diminish at the most crucial time.
I liked that scene where shivanya brings soup for rithik, because she was behaving like a typical wife. These moments, where she is so unguarded and natural are rare and I hope to see more of them as time passes and rithik cannot stop from flirting even when he is sick. Shivanya says, she forgets about her revenge when she is around rithik but I don't see it? to me, she is too wrapped up in her ultimate goal to even pay attention to him.
What is up with rithik's constant naagin jokes? If it is to scare the audience then it works because my mother almost gets a heart attack every time he jokes about it, and it is funny how he already knows the truth.
I still think Yamini does not know about what the 5 monsters did 20 years ago, she is worried about something else. That being said, this is the first of many storms for the raheja's because hiding past sins does not wash them away.
Shesha is the most delicious bad girl in television history, she is so much fun to watch and I can't help but cheer her on. Makers established the concept of fighting for the right cause, so it is easy to support her but her ruthlessness is worth watching. While shivanya takes each step with too much consideration, shesha acts without thinking. She conjured a storm to stop the Raheja's from reaching the havan, but still she is no match for Kaali ma. Still, shesha tried and that storm was impressive to say the least.
PS: why is tanvi still there? Will she play a pivotal part in the future?
PPS: shivanya looked stunning but when does she not?
That is it for now. Thanks for reading
December 26- Epi 16
