My thoughts on the episode:
I loved the scene where Mishti runs into Abir's arms and feels so comfortable with him. He too can feel her pain I think it was a wonderful scene.
I am confused though what the balloons flying off from Abirs hands meant when Kuhu tells him that she is in love with Kunal. Does it mean that love will fill the air with Kunal and Kuhu's relationship or is it a bad omen? Althought I liked that Kuhu too feels a comfort level with Abir that she called him to share her problems.
Mishti will not realise Abir's love so quickly thats for sure. It will take something dramatic to make her realise that she loves him and he loves her back. Mishti feeling he was in love with someone else has shifted to the backburner coz Abir at that time was behaving very differently and nervous around her but now he is normal. He is back to being her friend so maybe thats why she hasn't brought it up with him again.
I saw an offscreen interview of Ritwik Arora (Kunal) and he said that when two lovers meet there will be rebellion and if Kunal has Abir on his side then he can go against his mother... so this gives me some hope that Kunal will realise his love for Kuhu soon. Kaveri (Kuhu) too said that the Kuhu and Kunal love story will begin soon. I think Shweta will be a catalyst .. she will be a negative character but her re entry will make Kunal realise the value of Kuhu in his life.
From the precap its obvious that now Minakshi knows that Kuhu loves Kunal and that Kunal is also veering towards her.. she is no doubt going to try to create issues between them. You never know it could be her that has set up Shweta to enter Kunals life again. Minakshi is an ace manipulator and believes that she is doing it all for the benefit of the family. She is delusional.. now lets see what Kunal does when he has to go against his mother. Abir would have done it without batting an eyelid but this is Kunal so it would be interesting to see how the dynamics change.
Also I am looking forward to seeing how Mishti and Abir bring Kunal and Kuhu together coz in the bargain they too will come closer and closer. Minoo's full attention will be on Kunal and Kuhu and she will miss the closeness between Abir and Mishti. I also would love to see the change in Kunal and Mishti's equation where he stops hating her and her closeness with Abir.
