So sadly the scene was played out yesterday was not a dream just executed poorly on Neil's part. As disappointed as I am with that at the same time I loved the insight given into Neil's character today. I feel Neil handled things differently from the way we had hoped because he feels he does not have those rights to Avni. Neil and Avni are married but their marriage happened under different circumstances, they have not reached that stage where they have confessed or feel they have the right over the other.
Neil was indeed the show stealer today, I loved the way he told off Shweta for how Avni was treated best of all Bebe was listening as well so it was like giving both a dose of the insults hurled at his wife. Neil was bang on in saying what is Avni's fault in all this? Avni did not get to choose who her parents were yet she was bitterly insulted. It was wrong and I am glad Neil did not hold back when it came to telling Shweta off, he did not let her guilt trip him. It is like Neela and Prakash said, Neil will always stand for the truth.
Speaking of Neela she really is a beautifully written character. Neela has so much faith in Neil and rightfully so. Neela like any parent wants what is best for their child and Neela knows Avni is in good hands with Neil. Avni in her POV is justified in refusing to go with Neil but she cannot live in the past, whatever happened with her parents is history that won't be repeated. I'm so glad she has Neela as a sounding board of sorts, someone needs to guide Avni on the right path.
Prakash is the perfect match to Neela when it comes to parenting, his remorse over not being able to help Avni and encouraging Neil not to give up on her was beautiful! Neil just needs to understand Avni's POV but it seems she will screw up with the ehsaan dialogues and that is what will hurt him more (this is based on OLVs). The ball is in Avni's court she needs to fight for her marriage, yes she was wronged but not by Neil. Neil has stood by Avni and is still standing by her.
Thank goodness Bebe told Neil about that letter. I love how everyone looked directly at Shweta when they realized it was not Neil's handwriting, she couldn't look more guilty. So the truth is out about Rhea conspiring against Avni so Ali has nothing to worry about, his scenes with Nano were really good!
Precap is the new promo. Overall this episode is not to be missed, Neil rocked!
