The predominant impression I got after watching the Friday's episode was that the entire track in CN is headed the Mills and Boons way. I will list out a few points that stuck me:
1) Chandra hates to see Nandini in tears. Period.
2) He is even more irritated when to his great and misplaced consternation he discovers that the reason for this is Malayketu. Period.
3) This matters to him so much that even a stolen Royal Mudrika and Wrong Orders issued with its help pale in significance before it. Period.
4) He speaks something and means the very opposite of what he says. Period.
5) He says you are not my wife but really means that you are my wife. Period.
6) He is hurt by what he sees as Nandini's infidelity and in turn hurts her. Period.
7) Nandini's retaliation that she too does not consider him as her husband hurts. Period.
8) MUs are galore. Period.
9) Who puts more ghee in the fire, Helena or Malayketu, a tough fight and close call. Period.
10) Helena keeps barging into Chandra's room telling she is here to apply medicine and keeps on aggravating his wounds. Period.
11) And the surprising thing, Chandra actually allows her to do so. Period.
12) Malayketu speaks utter balderdash and Chandra believes him in an unquestioning manner. Period.
13) He should have given that chap a black eye for speaking all that nonsense about his wife but he swallows it. Period.
14) Chandra pardons Avantika because she was a Pativrata Istree. Heavens support me! All the Pativratas of lore would be turning in their grave.
15) Chandra tells looking at Nandini that any caring wife would do it for her husband. Wasn't the poor girl doing all that during the return journey taking a different route to save him from Daddy dearest, fighting for him, crying for him, bringing him to Patliputra, giving him the poison antidote, treating him, etc. Such short term memory this guy has. He forgets everything. How much more will a girl care for her husband?
16) So though in the precap when I watched the scene I liked Rajat more, in the actual scene when it played out I absolutely loved Sweta's acting. So calm, quiet, dignified, subtle and a picture perfect portrayal of hurt and emotional angst. Take a bow for that scene Sweta!
