Could not watch the episode until just now. And wow, it was worth the wait! So many things to say.
Loved that Abhi grabbed Akshuās hand when Bade Papa said no relationship with the Birlas will ever happen. That was his way of reassuring her. The man who never apologizes to anyone or bends down, folded his hands in front of Bade Papa, and later even told Akshu that he understands why he is angry. He told Harsh that the Goenkas are their own now, and that means they have to protect them. Abhi is changing slowly, but surely. He is becoming softer, more understanding, and less impulsive. Of course, he still has a long way to go, but these small signs are very telling. He was smiling as Akshu was being dragged away, because he is confident in their love and knows nothing can get in the way.
Poor Akshu is still so haunted and triggered by Abhi walking away. She can not bear the thought of him leaving ever again, so she stopped him immediately as he was going to leave the studio. Loved that right as Kairav said this is her entire world, Abhi appeared. It was a beautiful reference to the beginning episodes when Akshu told Abhi that for her, love is music. Abhi has become that music for her too. He is her everything.
What to say about the dance sequence. Just a cheap song that everyone was hesitant about turned into something so cute and fun. Only Harshali can pull this up. HC had so much swag, and Pranaliās dancing and expressions were amazing. They truly knock all assignments out of the park.
On another note, it is clear how much pain Bade Papa is in. He wanted to melt when he saw the slip of paper, but he stopped himself. Any other elder in his position would react the way to the insults thrown at his daughterā¦but he will surely come around. It is just him left now. Everyone else is already on Team Abhira.
Loved Papa Birlaās āAkshuā as usual. Also Queen Mahima to the rescue.
In terms of the precap, Anisha is surely his sisterā¦.
