This panicked Mishti is very endearing. They are finally exploring her abandonment issues and I am so on board! I am unspeakably glad they didn't make her the bahu who is overconfident about "fixing" her sasural the day she lands there -- this is so much more interesting! And I am especially happy about the precap. It's *both* the sisters being triggered by Meenu and turning against each other rather than one being the vamp and one the victim. SO. MUCH. BETTER. Give me ALL the flawed females 🤗
@aqua, totally agree about the rasoi thing 😃It was so cool that Mishti not knowing how to cook wasn't a big deal, and that Kuhu mentioned that it was because she simply had other interests. I loved what Meenu said about rasoi not being the pehchan in their house. She may be a tyrannical despot whose power has gone to her head, but she has her moments!
The Kuhu-Meenu-haar bit was really well done. Here's the thing, Meenu hasn't harassed Kuhu any less than she has Mishti -- the girl ended up in a sham marriage and was the victim of Meenu's fraud via Kunal. Shouldn't Meenu be just as eager to make it up to her? The way Meenu is phrasing it makes it seem like Mishti is being rewarded simply because her pain was public, and Kuhu's understanding is being taken for granted. For once, they did a really good job of showing how this triggered Kuhu, as a rehash of Mishti's arrival in her house, how she was expected to understand why Mishti got Kuhu's share along with her own.
It's also interesting that there is a role reversal in this house. At the Maheshwaris' Kuhu felt less acknowledged because she was always hearing Mishti's gungaan (BP and BM's overcompensation at work), but here it's Mishti who is constantly hearing Kuhu's praises. This hits her insecurities hard because she is already so stressed about whether she'll be able to cut it as an RV bahu. Meenu is tipping the vulnerability that could unite them into insecurity that will tear them apart. Finally! A saazish I can appreciate for it's subtle genius! 😈
Finally to our cuties 😳 I don't think the awkwardness has anything to do with the actors; it's more about where their relationship is atm. All this time, they were in love but trying desperately to hide it from each other, so any physical demonstration came only in moments of intense emotion, when they absolutely couldn't control it and because it was pent up, it was all the more intense when it happened. You are way more self-conscious and likely to overanalyse and hesitate when the situation isn't super charged, life/death. These two are still learning what it means to be in love all day, every day and I think that's adorable. 😃
