'Woh Ek Nazar!'...That ONE look said it all!

I know we have all been debating "Teda Shravan's" behavior and cringing at his unforgiving and inflexible nature. How he keeps feeding his bitterness with his misogynistic rhetoric and sarcastic tirades. However, I still see that old Shravan somewhere inside this "New" Shravan. He is not totally gone, and neither can he be gotten rid of that easily.


Shravan doesn't know how to take this sudden "clarity" from all about his feelings for Suman and visa-versa. He was never sure she loved him. He thought maybe she did, but then after all the drama during Preekar wedding and then the fallout from Aditya's entry just destroyed all his faith in his feelings and hers. When he had given up on their relationship, to be confronted with a new reality of everyone wanting them to be together is leaving him in limbo. He says "I can't believe why anyone would think you and I..."


He looks at her as he says it. She looks back but says nothing. So he pre-empts her by speaking himself. He says he doesn't think he and Suman can even stand each other, leave alone get married. Then he looks to her again to clarify.


That ONE look that Shravan gave Suman as he said "Lekin Aisa kuch nahin hai" which was less a statement and more a question for her was enough to show the attraction and chemistry simmering under the resentment. He still loves her like crazy and trying so hard not to give into his feelings. Namik's that ONE expression said it all to me. It held a certain longing and intensity from that "Old" Shravan that this "New" Shravan could not quite hide. That split second before he changed his expression again, said it all.


I don't know how he does it SO well, but he does those "split second" expressions so beautifully. So much so you sometimes almost miss them. Just like we do in real life. Where for a split second our true feelings show, and then we mask it quickly. That old Shravan who longed for them to be together, and for Suman to love him came out for a split second and almost asked her "Is it like that?" with his eyes while his lips formed the words "It's nothing like that!".


That one expression gave me hope again. I held onto it like a drowning man holds on to a straw. That one look restored my faith that Shravan still loves Suman and our old Shravan is somewhere inside this New Shravan! I thank Namik for communicating that to us through those to die for expressions of his!


As always please leave comments and let me know what you think? Do you agree or not!


Thanks


Mandy

Yes it did but I think hes now confused not only about her feelings but also his. I think the Hear versus head will come into play and I am waiting for the heart to win

He is deliberately confusing himself. He wants to hate her. He even tells himself he does. It's like after we think we have lost something we tell ourselves we never needed it in the first place. He is at that stage where he wants to pretend that Suman no longer means anything to him. But deep down even HE knows that is not true.


That one expression, that one statement which was actually a question to her, communicated his true feelings which he even hides from himself. He denies to himself. It's like we try to repeat something over and over, thinking that will make it true. That is exactly what is happening here. He always tells himself he hates Suman now, knows her true face etc etc. But fact remains, he is conflicted with this turn of events. It's like fate gave him another chance to get what he always wanted and now he doesn't even know how to accept it. How to receive it.


But he would never have married her in a million years if he was not in love with her. Whatever "ego" or bet or whatever he wants to call it, he only married Suman for one reason. He wants her for himself and there was no way he was going to watch her marry another guy. He almost did it oncwon'te wont do it again!

Yes Mandy! TA with you.

Namik does the split personality so well. He was the uncertain teen, looking upto Sumo to lead, but Sumo was not sharp enough to decipher him .
Or was she? Her "What do you want Shravan?" rings in my ears.

I have a feeling if he gets ek ishara from her, he will be with her...
He just wants to be with her but not ready to admit...

I hope somehow Suman gets to know what game Ramnath played...
And how Suman hurt him again

I absolutely agree to u on each words...I think he is saying all these things to sumo..not to hurt her actually but to remind himself that he hates her whenever he sees her or talks to her..
His loves comes out whenever he looks at her or talks to her so immediately he tries to overpower that love with hate with those words.
Actually there is no hate... And when u try to pretend something which is not there than u try too hard or become too harsh to justify it and he is doing the same..
I am actually enjoying it bcoz in all these scene their chemistry goes to another level... Which is not definable...

Lovely post...👏
Yes, Namik's quick silver expressions just brings alive the character of Shravan for us.
Few actors in this space would have got it right. Such nuances...which if not done well could have killed this story...

I will also add another nuance to the scene that followed...when Sumo tells him that "You were right"

At first viewing it escaped me, I had a chat with Indrani as well to get to that page and I watched the scene again...

Sumo gets up and tells him "gud you are clear ...Shravan is acting normal, nonchalant as well. At the same time watch, he is giving exaggerated expressions, almost as if he trying to quell the well of disappointment he feels. Somewhere, the phone talk must have given him some hope which ofc he will never admit to his conscious self. Yet, now confirming that the last shred of hope is also gone, he puts on that act, its not anger but trying to show Sumo how unaffected he is..Uff that was one beautiful nuance, but the more beautiful one follows..She tells him "U r right" Ladke toh bahut mil jayenge" "waike hi dumb hote hain"

At the start of the sentence, he is the new Shravan...but then watch out for the old Shravan to peek thru..watch the drop of the exaggerated browlift...when she says the last of her sentence...Poof...he is taken by surprise...and the next fleeting moment is of him processing that info...its too fleeting but it is there...

Aww, Mandy!
🤗

He would never admit it- but the mask slipped..just for us to see...Ask him, and he'd say we dreamed it! 😉 😆

You know what else I loved about the mask Shravan is trying to wear?

The way he laughed and said, 'I'll get you a guy" ...He was trying to be oh-so-cool...This was not even Shravan...But he was trying so hard...Poor baby! ❤️

Nice post.,
Suman tried to say yes by confirmation from shravan ..
Shravan tried to know her .. Though he denies but he wants her dearly in his life..
Namik 's voice modulation.. 👏
Even the way he said isn't like that,rt? To ask answer from her..
Didn't get any answer he frustrated n angry to show her how low she is..
And she doesn't matter to him ..

Tried to communicate but all went wrong due to their egos
