Taking on old age insecurities so sweetly

It's honestly really heartwarming to see Shivika getting the opportunity to tackle legit/realistic issues even in the garb of light hearted comedy.

So what began yesterday with the Aunties triggering Anika's paranoia that Shivaay will lose interest in her when she's old continued today when Anika seemingly discovered a white hair...lol I'm still not sure if she just pulled a white hair out of her wig accidentally or it was a real white hair of her own😆...but it was enough to trigger a paranoid dream of buddhi Anika (complete with walking stick and quavering voice) being totally ignored by tadi maarne wala forever young Billu😆




But I honestly found Anika so cute even in her paranoia about old age...the way she was like, "Sab log mujhe Amma bulaayenge? Eeeks!"😆 and Shivaay was having all the fun at her expense seeing her getting so worked up about this...LOL today we got to see a Shivaay fully indulging in child-like goofing around...lol ek toh he was again having oh so much fun dropping the Punjabi accent in every few minutes, then he'd switch to just laughing when she'd grumble about his random fangirls...or tease her in such wily ways looking at her out of the corner of his eye...I had to marvel over seeing a Shivaay just so blissfully happy...it's a rare event for him in IB-land😆






...their little tickling bit😆😆...the faces he was making like, "God promise, maine kuch nahin kiya"😆




Anika complained about how he isn't looking at her since they got here toh he managed to stump her with a sixer, "Jab tumhein dekhta hoon toh phir aur kuch dekh nahin paata"😆...and then the return of Anika's famous, "Yeh kya kar rahe hain aap"😆



And then the segue into the wig removing bit...itneee pyar se karte hain yeh log simple sa moment bhi...all he did was remove her wig and caress her hair, but they added so much feel to this scene...some lovely expressions by NM-SC👏👏...SC especially looked SO pretty without the makeup.






I think I also appreciated this moment for the reverential quality to it...it wasn't the typical type of "romantic" scene...their expressions elevated it.


And then finally, would like to mention the very beginning and the way Shivaay took Anika's hand to pull her into the "All for One" moment...something so natural and poignant about it...the feeling of being a unit portrayed beautifully there also indicative of the progress their relationship has made.





So, based on the BTSs, looks like this old age insecurity track will continue tomorrow...lol it didn't really get addressed much today other than the little bit of Shivaay teasing Anika and tomorrow looks like he'll be doing more of the same but Anika might get emotional and that is when they might have a talk about it properly where he reassures her in his own way.

Thanks for sharing these caps AY. Have not watched the episode and not planning to either but your caps provide the much-needed relief. I am officially in Rehab to rid this addiction of IB😉

Haven't had the chance to watch yet. But have been following the updates via caps.
Beautiful gifs..and yes lovely the way they are tackling the issue in guise of comedy.
Baby steps ...Meri family to hamari family.
He has her as part of family, but in that scene...omru and anika, all stand equal with the wall of shivay.
Nicely done.

Just for the record, I protest Seetha-Geetha aunties getting way too much screen space 😆 ! Nice GIFs as usual AY! And Word to SC looking so pretty without makeup!

SC/NM were awesome as usual but seeing the epi today and the segments that show Annika still insecure, am really curious (probably overthinking it!) as to where HS is headed with this 😆 Not two weeks ago, Annika was band bajaoing Billu for acting like he had ML (the kabaadiwala epi).. Here, sure the aunties are getting to her but am curious to see if they are going to somehow tie this "insecurity" to her belief that her 2Rs kismeth will never allow her to be happy, that people she loves always leave her.. something needs to be the trigger for the chutki nightmare to resurface.. i.e. are we finally going to see the focus shift to Annika?!😆


Loved the little look that passed between Shivika during the OBro moment too! [Would love to know if these little touches are scripted or added on by LM or NM/SC!]

@bold
For me this current insecurity is completely unrelated to her 2Rs. Kismet insecurity, so 2 weeks pehle wali Anika ka reaction can't be compared with the current reactions(plus, that whole ML track was pointless and bakwaas execution anyways... sorry cribbing! 😆😆)..

Even in your most secure relationship, you still get those moments of doubts.. Those What ifs.. This Billu won't like me of I'm buddhi is one of those what-ifs.. 😆😆 So, personally, I really do not want this to be connected with 2Rs. Kismet..

Anika can still feel scared by the prospect that people whom she loves might leave her or will be taken away from her.. It is not an easy fear to overcome and frankly, this fear is very relatable..
So, she can get one of her sudden nightmares without any triggers or Maybe she sees something familiar in Bareilly and that triggers this dream! 😆

Thanks, BW :)


LOL word on forewarning that raita phailna wala hai...Billu aur Anika ko zyada der khushi allowed nahin hoti😆


But I'm just finding his almost child-like joy in teasing her, laughing all carefree with her kinda sweet...aaj toh even his Punjabi attempts were cutely dorky😆

I think that was probably part of the script only that Shivaay turns to look at Anika but what NM-SC add to it is the conviction and the feel...like Shivika are in their own world the moment they look at each other...it was a very meaningful look exchanged there as if they know they are each other's strength.

Word...you said it all👏


This insecurity is not related to her abandonment issues as far as I can see...this is more in line with general insecurities that anyone feels as they age...doubts about their attractiveness to their partner are a natural feeling then...and they are handling it in a sweet fashion with a comic touch rather than making it dramatic like they did with Anika's abandonment issues.


That said, yeh log kahin se bhi kuch bhi connect kar lete hain so it's possible they may stoke Anika's abandonment issues tomorrow and that is why she cries again...but we've seen a more evolved Anika since their reunion who has more faith in their relationship and doesn't succumb so easily to crying over her kismat anymore...her 2 Rs. kismat dialogue that day was said jokingly.


I dunno but I feel they will make it more directly about the age insecurity and Shivaay will reassure her that he will love her always regardless of how she changes...


Filhaal toh Billu is having way too much fun teasing her for her oldie appearance to notice that she's actually getting upset for real...he thinks it's all fun and games😆


As for triggers...yeah I expect it will be a sudden nightmare...andhere se darr, and Billu will show up to hug her protectively as usual😆
