butterflies, tears, and death // 25 october 2020

we start the episode with the fancy sky house, i really love this house i’m not gonna lie it’s very pretty from the outside. anyways, bani is panicking because she can’t change into a naagin and as she’s pacing, she remembers that shakura said veer is going to die and i personally don’t think she was concerned but confused at this particular moment. she was wondering why and who told shakura to kill veer. she again starts with saying that she thought veeranshu was her biggest enemy but there’s someone else. bani as usual brings up veer as her enemy but what she doesn’t realize is jay is her enemy and veer her savior. she does realize that there’s a bigger enemy here and at least in that sense, her eyes are semi opened and she’ll be on the look out.

these two girls of shakura comes to the room and bani yells at them before jumping from the window. bani willingly got married to veer, she took the pheras without protesting. but with shakura, she jumped out of the window. i know it’s not a fair comparison per say because she’s married now but while re-watching, the contrast between the two came to mind. maybe bani, at some level, has that comfort with veer that she doesn’t want to admit?

anyways, our girl jumps. she goes through mini sun balls? i don’t know what those were but she gets hurt here and there. basically the pool scene that we saw with bani having scratches is from this scene. bani again remembers shakura telling her that veer is going to die and she questions if he was being honest and if veer is really going to die. i think in this scene a little concern and worry came out but only slightly.

gandhak comes to the cave where veer is and shukla says, maybe the stone wants to give veer his aakri salami and I LAUGHED. i was like you don’t even know what this stone is going to do shukla. anyways, it ends up breaking the cage and our cheel turns into veer. guys, the happiness i felt seeing veer oh my i can’t even explain. but actual khushi comes baad mein.

bani knows she’ll be saved and she says that whatever shiv has in mind, she’s okay with it. which i feel like she should heed when it comes to veer, shivji made her marry veer for a reason. she falls right at the trishul and her dupatta gets stuck there which leaves her hanging there instead of falling flat on the ground or getting killed by it herself. the trishul is next to the cave veer is at.

we see veer getting saved by gandhak. it was so good to see him act again and come back so smoothly as veer. the cheel background was everything, i HAD CHILLS. it had been way too long since we saw that. veer controls the ghandak, so that’s obviously him and not another fake lol we’ve had too many fakes. he leaves the cave and looks around, only to find his beloved gharwali stuck hanging on the trishul.

veer calls out her name and, i started sweating, shaking and almost crying THIS IS SO DRAMATIC BUT like low key i did. i almost started crying cause i got so happy i can’t even explain how dramatic i was watching every moment after they met.

bani looks up and veer falls as he walks towards her, she screams veeranshu, concerned. clearly concerned. we finally see her concern for him and he gives her a thumbs up signaling he’s okay before he looks up at her and gets up. while this happens, we see bani. we see her slightly smiling and then pretty much smiling and there’s happiness evident, she’s happy to see him.

veer runs to her again and this time we somewhat get a hug between them as he gets her off the trishul. she falls on top of him and he says sweetheart. we get our dil ibadaat and a proper vani moment after two whole weeks. this scene uffff it gave me butterflies.

veer comes back with his usual dialogues and hayeee i’ve missed them. he says that seeing her likes this was a dream and that he doesn’t want her to ever get up. bani says shut up and gets off of him. it felt like he was glad to hear her say shut up lmao. he gets up and gives her his hand and i think this is one of the first times? where she takes his help to stand up instead of yelling at him. progress guys.

now, what i don’t know is, did he say you’ve become moti or hot without me? LMAO WHY DID I HEAR HOT

then veer questions her and asks where she fell from and why she’s dressed like this. bani asks where he’s been and veer asks if she missed him. bani again says shut up and answer me. veer says ladies first so she starts to tell him what’s been going on but before anything, shakura joins in. he yells, bani.

veer doesn’t know who he is. which brings us to the fact that veer doesn’t remember satyug. well, there’s two ways around this. either veer remembers and is hiding this from everyone, or he doesn’t. i can’t tell which one it is, even if he knew he would have to pretend not to know shakura so we have a fifty fifty chance here.

loved the “bani, shaadi honewali hai aur pati ko invite tak nahi kiya?” veer didn’t even seem like he suspected bani for a second and i loved that. he kept telling shakura that i’m her husband and she’s my biwi. shakura does tell veer that bani jumped off the window for him and veer is immediately concerned. he was worried for her even then, he asks what if something had happened to you? he didn’t wait, he asked then and there. seeing worried veer again was a delight. shakura and veer have a face off, bani can’t turn into a naagin, and veer doesn’t want to turn into a cheel in front of bani. i wish we could’ve seen bani do something, it felt like she was just there. i know she didn’t have her powers so she’s low key useless but something? the only thing she did was think in her head that, oh my i don’t have my powers now what? but wait why is veeranshu not turning into a cheel? she seemed concerned but like, ugh idk it just didn’t live up to what i hoped? or what i wanted at the time of watching. while re-watching i guess it’s chill but at the time i was hoping for a little more from her. she did scream veeranshu in the middle when shakura knocked him over or something so that’s one win. at least we have slight concern coming through. after the first phera, shakura says that its done and pehla pat mar jaye? i didn’t catch it idk the audio is a little bad here but bani screams nahi and WE GET SLIGHTLY MORE CONCERN. bani fights back to shakura finally, something! anyways they both fight again and as shakura approaches him with the stick of fire, bani says veeranshu with concern, not yelling but just personally says it and then she says his name phir se but this time yelling. veer kills shakura with the trishul and wou chapter khatam.

unrelated but they really shoot stuff so randomly, they shot these scenes early this week i think and then did the party phir pool and then ended the week with this shoot again lol got us so confused but i love how much we get per episode, at least things moved.

when shakura opened his eyes before vanishing, bani stepped back and veer protected her and it was a second but, hayeee. jaymayshu leaves the scene and we get solid vani moments from then. veer asks her if she wants to say something, then asks why she jumped from the window. she said i didn’t want to get married to him. veer smiles and says because of me. he says you didn’t like shakura because you are mine. more dil ibadaat moments before veer says that jab chot mujhe milti hai tou dard tumhe hota hai bani. he says i know you missed me a lot when i was gone. bani says no, ji nahi but drifts off to say that he came to be veer. veer says you knew that wasn’t me, you realized. he says, tell me what you feel bani, tell me that you feel for me what i feel for you, he’s begging her to please say it. bani looks as if she wants to say something but, i don’t know. she’s not there yet. she doesn’t feel that way yet. throughout this scene, bani doesn’t fight, she doesn’t say anything. she looks at him and analyzes veer. i want to over analyze this, bani is at the point where she does feel concern for him now, she is starting to get confused over her feelings, but she isn’t there yet. bani seemed lost. as if she was questioning if he’s really bad and if she should really hate him. there’s a battle and storm in her right now that’s slowly starting. bani faints and falls on veer, he says wow what a way to hide the truth before he picks her and carries her home.

i was hoping we’d get to see him entering cheel house and there would be a proper entrance but i won’t complain since we got a vani scene. it would’ve been fun to see veer enter and bani convincing them that this is real veer etc but theek hai koi gal nahi. let’s move on.

now, bani is in the bathtub but the bathtub has a blanket on it or something and i’m so confused as to why she’s in the bathroom instead of the bed or something but i guess it’s to show the scene when she says she wants to change and he leaves, we get to see that shakura moment and this and it comes full circle.

this has to be one of my favorite moments of vani. it was so sweet, simple, innocent and bani wasn’t arguing or annoying. she tries getting up but is in a lot of pain, veer comes in with a first aid box and says sweetheart relax, i’m not shakura don’t be afraid. take it easy, relax, sit so i can put meds on you because you’re so hurt. him telling her that i need to put meds on you and her looking at him was so beautiful. she backs off but allows him to do so. we’ve come so far from the mud scene where she backed off and yelled at him. bani looks at veer and i can’t tell what she’s feeling, it feels as if she’s questioning things and is going through an inner debate. she starts saying that what you asked in the jungle, it was a no. veer says no, you said yes god promise, in your state, you said that you love me and goes on, bani says you’re lying. it was a cute moment and veer starts smiling at her and laughs, she says you took bhagwans jhooti kasam? veer says, jaise bhagwan mujhpe vishwas karte ho, tum mujhpe karti ho. he’s not wrong. she trusts him now, even if it’s subconsciously. bani gets up to leave but he pulls her back to put more meds and this time in her stomach and she says no but then lets him. bani never let him touch her before but this time, she said no and let him. she’s getting comfortable with him. something has changed. their equation has changed, from both sides. veer is confident that she loves him and bani is warming up to him. veer told her previously that you’ll fall for me, but now he’s saying you love me. he realizes something has changed. bani helps him with his cuts and all in the pretext of not wanting to take a favor from him but you can tell from the way she’s saying it that she’s lying, she then quotes the two way street line. veer looks at her smiling, chuckling slightly and he’s happy. we see him happy. he’s glad to see her helping him and he’s having a great time.

bani asks where were you and what happened? veer doesn’t tell her as he says you won’t believe me. this was a good move. if not their relationship would’ve gotten messed up again. however, bani gets low key offended and gets up. before she leaves, veer asks her to promise him two things. he asks her not to risk her life again and her expressions, oh my she was confused and he was concerned. she doesn’t promise but then he says you won’t meet dhaabewala again, she asks why? she doesn’t fight but she says give me one reason. she’s looking for a reason. she’s not fighting back but she wants a reason this time. things have changed, bani is open to listening. obviously he can’t tell her but, the equation has changed. veer says you’re married to me and that’s the biggest reason. you stayed away from shakura so you can stay away from jay.

after but it seems as if veer’s entire family tree is a lie. those two are his parents in the basement. balwant is hiding something. there’s something beyond naageshwari. even in satyug, there is something that we don’t know. this feels like rithik’s story repeated but there’s a twist because we have satyug here as well. balwant can’t be veer’s dad now i highly doubt it. i think bani might end up finding this out and telling him and he’ll help her sort through the jay stuff.

jay calls bani and they have a conversation. jay is always yelling which is so annoying, you can be a villain without yelling that exists dude? most villains don’t yell like this it’s weird. anyways, in this scene we get to see bani defending veeranshu to jay and telling him that he didn’t do anything and in fact, veeranshu saved her. she says that while saving me, veeranshu almost died and lost his life. bani gets pissed at jay for telling her what to do and i love that. bani says, veer didn’t do anything. in this scene, she says veer. jay says oh so now with his name, you’ve changed your feelings also for him? and guys, after meera i think jay’s gonna help vani get together with all of his annoying lines. shesha tried keeping shivanya away but she did to a certain extent help her get closer to rithik so maybe jay does too?

we end with vani having a conversation in the room before sleeping, bani asks aren’t you gonna ask where the curtain went? she seems like she wants to clear something up with him and suddenly, we see bani caring as to what he thinks. she wants to tell him. she doesn’t not care anymore. veer on the other hand tells her that he’s exhausted, he’s tired because he’s told her how he feels and he says, you won’t even admit that this is love. but you will admit it one day, he says. veer looks drained, he seems as if he just wants her to hug him and be with him. he’s gone through so much the last few days and all he wants is comfort from bani.

this has gotten so long oops sorry, but i’m too lazy to get into the precap now because anyways, they’ll change things around later. i think we’ll get veer figuring out that this was jay’s plan, bani blames him but maybe the script was also like last week’s precap. possibly, we get another good vani scene. even if we don’t, we’re moving forward now. even if we move five steps forward and three steps back which i think it’ll be three till her misconceptions about him are cleared, we’re still moving two steps forward.
