Hello all. 🤗
I am Ankita. It’s been a while since I made a forum post but RiAnsh were just irresistible.
Firstly, Rrahul, Vishal and Helly are doing great! I am enjoying all 3 character journeys. Secondly, I hope Rrahul gets well soon and the entire team stays healthy.
Now, coming to the Khamoshiyan sequence, I have a few thoughts on it.
1) The moment Vansh asks Riddhima for the dance, Sia comments that she doesn’t “trust” him about dancing. Writer hinting at something maybe. Perhaps a subtle nod to the game Vansh is playing. I still remember that before their first dance on the cruise, he said that he had one rule - he finishes every game he starts properly. I’m not going to discount his steel trap mind yet!
2) The entire song is like a silent confession of feelings on the part of Vansh. On the surface at least. Even the lyrics of Khamoshiyan, where the singer asks his lover to listen to his silences to understand his feelings, they fit so perfectly with the way Vansh is so active about his business and family but is so quiet about his feelings. And he can see that Riddhima hasn’t yet understood him and maybe this is his way to ask her to try to feel what he feels.
3) If this is genuine, the guy literally went down on his knees and bowed to her. A hell of an admission to make, all done silently. Riddhima might smile over it for now but she hasn’t understood the significance of this gesture. I am hoping that in the future episodes Riddhima will come to realise the enormity of his silent admission. Some feelings truly don’t need to be spelt out aloud.
4) On the other hand, this is the same guy who was earlier pondering that his dadi didn’t tell him how to propose. So he went from the mirror comedy to being a suave charmer to lure in his pretty wife. And let’s not forget that he knows that she is still a spy who hasn’t stopped spying. I smell trouble. 😆
5) Riddhima’s eyes are saying everything she doesn’t realise about herself. There is no hesitation, no discomfort.....in fact there is nothing but Vansh in her mind when he takes her in his arms. Her overactive mind stops working when he’s close. The adoration in her gaze is too evident. If Kabir and others on the sidelines can see it, Vansh is just inches apart from her face. His eagle eyes won’t miss the warmth with which she stares at him.
I see two outcomes from this. Vansh can either seduce his wife like a smart husband who knows his wife is a good soul trapped by evil people. Or he may be luring her into a trap to gain her trust and find the mastermind behind her.
Either way, Riddhima won’t stand a chance unless she wisens up about men in general.
6) Kabir seems on top of the plan until he catches the love in Ridhhima’s eyes for Vansh. That seems to destabilise him so much he risked breaking a glass in anger and then cutting the lights and leaving when he should be keeping his image as wedding planner. As much as he plans to weaken Vansh by using Riddhima, I don’t think he realises that Riddhima is also his very own weak spot.
