Today's episode was love!
Not going to lie, but I missed Rishita. Everyone was in their element and reacted the way I wanted to. Happy Dhara told Hardik to back off. Hardik knows his boundaries and is willingly crossing them for his sister (the fact that he's accepting his fault) makes me want to give him a pass, Gaumbi being himself, but only letting out his frustration in the one person he can with, and Dhara though being right, walking away from the heated moment to avoid unnecessary argument. Loved how she clarified her stance the next day by telling him where he was wrong and Suman revealing her true desires to be a grandma. Which btw evolved around how much she's craving to shower her love on Dhara and see Gaumbi shower his love to her over her dreams with her grandkids. That made a huge statement for Dhara on what Suman thinks of her.
And of course our ShiVi! Loved their scenes too. Loved how Raavi made it clear how she wasn't happy with his drinking. I'm sure he'll keep in mind next time, and her throwing away perfume. What a contrast from their earlier scenes (both bike and her dream on their wedding night). And of course, Raavi doing her nautanki to get Shiva to help her with the bed and hitting him with pillows for having no luck 😂😂. And the scene where both turned away from each other than towards and back to facing up was so symbolic of their relationship. It's like they hated each other, started to feel for each other and hope for their future, and then became conscious and went to truce by facing the ceiling.
And their scene in the store was . Lol at Raavi being a Sethani. Who thought Raavi was going to say her name was Raavi Shiva Pandya or the dialogue "Tu Malik toh Teri biwi hoke main Malkin hi huyi nah?" During the Malkin banter. And then ShiVi teaching each other as majhdoor and Ma'am saab,😂. And the aat ascend reminded me of their haldi. I so wanted to see them having that flashback. Also, who wished this was gulal or kumkum? The way he was spreading the flour on her face made me wistful of him accidentally filling her maang again in their banter and seeing her reaction now.
Honestly, I am liking these parallel tracks. ShiVi insecurities track, the bedroom/pregnancy track for GauRa, and Dev wanting to build a room for GauRa being a moment of growth for DevTa.
Preca: Jaanu is back my Janu ki diwanis. You didn't miss him much!!
