Today's episode was everything. The acting, the ambience, the dialogues , the expressions.
Om acceptance that intentions behind any truth or lie matters more proves that he has changed or the change has begun. (The Gauri effect)
Rikara's confrontation was a dream. No over the top shouting, no excuses, no blame games. It was a conversation of two adults,of a man and woman, of a guilty desperate husband and a hurt wife. (there wasn't anything childish or juvenile about it).
Gauri today gave it her all. How much hurt she is, she was, how he made her feel, and Om bless his soul took it all. Thats the thing about him. He wont cover his mistakes with silly excuses born out of ego. He owns his mistakes. Which is why each of his sorrys feel heartfelt.
He was desperate to make her stay. (oh how the times have changed) his last trump card, Her beloved Shankarjee, who has been a witness (maybe the only one) to their relationship, to their story. He brought them together. His innocent heartfelt plea to ask the Lord felt as if he has already started believing in their relationship , which excites me more.
Dbo ended on a high note, with the beginning of Rikara's Ishqbaazi. :-)
