I've created an Index of all the analyses so far in case anyone feels like checking back on of the foreshadowings and symbolism stuff. click here
The episode starts out with Knuj jumping into the pool regardless of not being to swim to retrieve his wife. Kunj has been vocal about not being able to swim because of his fear of water but once the fear of water was clouded, he was able to go in and swim out along with Twinkle. I loved Tu Mere Paas playing as he revived her while attempting CPR. The song stood out with it's first verses playing in the back as Knuj did a mouth to mouth on Twinkle.
The song was the reflection of the words Knuj says to Twinkle. That he thought he had lost her even before having her be a part of his life, which she had taken over in such a significant way. That his world was shaken and while he stared and couldn't do anything. The verses of the song were so significant to reflect Knuj's feelings and the value he has given to Twinkle.
I loved how he immediately overlooked the meaning of her apology, blaming himself for not being quick enough but the disbelief on his face when he realized how just to delay time, how much farther her actions took her away brought in so many questions.
In one of the other posts in the forum I mentioned about why in my opinion, Yuvi was relieved for Twinkle. Yuvraj spent seven years with Twinkle knowing her and learning about her while simultaneously forcing the decision of marriage upon her. Regardless of all that happened and the whole revenge plan, Yuvraj started considering Twinkle as only his. In the war started by his mother, his enemy was not Twinkle but Knuj while Anita's enemy remains the Tanejas and to get to them, she is using the Sarnas' as a pawn. If Yuvi can, he will forcefully marry Twinkle today itself and make her stay with him regardless of her feelings for him.
Yup showing care for Twinkle means that he is not done trying to separate Kunj from Twinkle but will continue to force himself in situations that he would feel benefit his goal.
However, Yuvi has never been successful in any game plan and goal of his which he had not shared with his mother so the division of goals between him and his mother means that he will half the time end up doing opposite of whatever he intends to do.
I loved Usha's concern for Knuj when everyone stepped inside. USA has always been sensitive towards Knuj and his likes and dislikes. It appears to me that she was aware of Knuj's dislike for the pageant who regardless, did to stop Twinkle or force her to stop her participation in anyway. In every instance where such has been gathered by Usha, she is quick to tell Knuj to look at himself first before looking at anyone else.
It maybe easy for Knuj to move past the day where he agreed to accept Twinkle as his wife but regardless of how much she has learned about Twinkle, she still holds her responsible for the way her husband was adamant to only bring Twinkle as his daughter-in-law. Any normal person would not forget the manipulation game Manohar played with Knuj.
I also admire Bebe in this instance. She is quick to point that Knuj would've been surviving but Twinkle would not have been okay or even standing in front of them if not for Knuj.
She was also quick to repard Cherry and his good for nothing ways to instigate others.
From the moment Knuj sees Twinkle drop the keys to when he helps her up the stairs, his mood and expression is somber which is very unlikely for him. Even in the worst circumstances, he is quick to note the dramatics and lighten the mood as much as possible. As I said above, it didn't dawn upon Knuj till now, the lengths Twinkle could go for anyone she loves which conflicts his feelings for her further by bringing light to the fact that when he first saved her from hypothermia by performing a mouth to mouth CPR, she was quick to question why he hadn't taken her consent. I echo of the first time he kissed her and her questions along with the flashback of her kneeling down towards him to touch his feet which shouts the sentiment of her submitting to him. The point is that confusion is still prevailing in Knuj's mind even though he can understand that there is progress made and that Twinkle "maybe" finally be his and his only.
However regardless of the actions, Knuj needs verbal assurance from Twinkle to take the relationship past the level of friendship. The intimacy in the scene on the stairs where he helps her walk towards the room is literally one of the best scenes till date. It's I think one of the first time where both have willingly held onto each other; both's fingers intertwining each other which shows the equal position both hold in each other's life where as Mahi's hands in entirely in Yuvraj's hand. Her existence and life literally in control of Yuvraj's.
>>I want to add on how amazing the inclusion of Ishq Bulava was. The song only started playing after the flashback of Twinkle touching Kunj's feet. An act he himself understood meant something entirely different then what Twinkle answered in that moment. One of the reasons I think why he keeps quiet and doesn't probe her with questions even after he starts feeding her, because he knows the despite anything else in their lives; Twinkle's attention towards him wouldn't falter easily. Right as the flashback ends, Kunj touches Twinkles feet to provide her with ease and comfort. In my opinion that showed that Kunj would stand by twinkle through thick and thin. Not because he is her husband but because he wants to reciprocate her feelings and actions as well and let her know that SHE IS IMPORTANT FOR HIM but the sentiments will only be echoed when the time is right for both of them. Like i said previously, that the build up towards confession is intense in itself and straight up confession is not needed until all cards are out on the table.
Bebe is literally so adorable. I don't know the actress who plays her but she is literally the cutest out of the whole cast along with Bubbly. Both are my favs and both are TwiNj shippers.
I loved how she was quick to speak out loud what both twinkle and Knuj are hesitant in admitting to themselves. The power of the relationship they share and the understanding between them.
I loved how Bebe used the term of "life" and "heartbeats" for Knuj and how Twinkle needs to pay attention to those aspects. Knuj's somber attitude was also a red flag for Twinkle to which she replies by telling him that once she felt her breath wavering, she knew he would come. I must say that despite the scene belonging to Jasmine, Sidhant outshone in his performance to show his love and acceptance for the path their relationship is forging.
>> Knuj had told Twinkle after Mahi's arrival with Yuvi that he will help her explain to Mahi but his tans and attitude towards Mahi changed the minute she asked Twinkle to give prove of her purity.
In the scene in their bedroom, he is quick to note that he knows that Mahi means a lot to her and with the impression he's been under so far, that Twinkle's participation was due to Mahi; he makes sure to let her know that this time Mahi's well being does not mean much to him as much as Twinkle's well being herself means to him.
I love the verbal continuation when in Yuvraj's room, he does not name any relation between him and Mahi but only speaks to her through means of Twinkle.
Knuj has been shown as a character, to be not a fan of any kind of toxic relationships and behavior. He is against such attitude from his own mother as well towards Twinkle. He was very vocal to Twinkle about Yuvi's toxic attitude towards her in the past too and Mahi's blinded attitude has not allowed him to open himself to understand Mahi as a person as he cannot tolerate such behavior in itself.
I love how he later on even int he room, shifts Twinkle's attention towards there relationship by reminding her that she has gone way beyond and she can't do much after literally giving up her life for something so futile. That it is her sister's turn to discover truth on her own, which i think would be happening quite soon with Yuvi not being so much in control of himself whenever he sees the intimacy rise between Kunj and Twinkle.
I also want to touch on the color of Twinkle's suit in the end. The ivory champagne color with pink was one the perfect mixes to go with. Ivory can represent someone with virtue and chastity but also someone who had been secluded mentally and psychically because of personal challenges which Twinkle has been. The hint of silver adds playfulness which has been lacking in Twinkle's behavior since quite a while but returned in today's episode when she tried to live up to the confidence she had in past. The Pink color adds on the sensitive touch and the blooming feelings in Twinkle regarding Kunj. The dress was the perfect choice to mark the renewal of a relationship.
I was glad at the mention of Alisha by Kunj reminding us about his past. Things would definitely had been different if both had not been heart-broken and had their pasts' shadows attached to their marriage. This is the first time both had shown mutual interest in working on their relationship together after walking halfway through to their realizations separately. However the initiation by Kunj vocalizes his confusion regarding Twinkle's feelings still and how he is desperate for clarity. Twinkle meanwhile has the clear vision so far of what their relationship needs next. ---- The next morning when Twinkle picks up the phone, she is quick to make Kunj realize that she is not an easy feat in herself to take care of and that she needs to be shown in loud words and actions that she is very important and the person in-charge as well.
Twinkle gives Kunj half an hour i.e. 30 minutes of her time for the evening. Number 6 is a symbol of completeness in time and over here shows both Twinkle and Knuj finally stepping on the same page together for the new journey. The 30 minutes in time detonates the division in time and how the next cycle needs to be completed (half the time period of their marriage has been passed). I believe it was used here to identify the clarity Twinkle has on their relationship so far and how she understands that in order for both of them to be together in the truest sense, they need to walk together in the upcoming journey to see the path their relationship is taking.
I loved how the blanket appeared on the bed. When Twinkle slept alone, the blanket was always smoothened from the the end and crumpled from only her end but the scrunched up look from both ends showed that despite Kunj handing Twinkle the control in their relationship, he will be sitting right beside Twinkle who would value his opinion and advice on their relationship before making the final decision for them, thus putting forth the fact that the confession would first come from Twinkle before Kunj.
I think I typed too long and too abrupt today. Hopefully you guys can add on your two cents to this.
