Absolutely wonderful review as usual dear. You always capture the best moments so perfectly.
What an amazing episode in all regards.
When Kairav spoke up that he knows Anisha, both Abhi and Akshu looked at each other with happiness. Both of them know that they got into their own mess because of silence. They don’t want the same for their siblings.
Abhi finally bursted on Bade Papa, but rightfully so. The beauty of the nuances in this scene was that he stopped right when he saw that someone was wrong with his arm.
Abhi’s outburst on Kairav was 100% valid. He is a protective older brother, and he went through the same exact thing that Anisha is now going through. He let out all his frustrations, saying Akshu did the same thing. Today, he vented out his own pain. He lived so long in confusion, knowing that Aksu loves him, but still not being able to do anything about it. I really hope that Abhira both have a conversation about the trauma that both of them went through.
What Abhi does not yet understand is why Akshu and Kairav are the way they are. He only has a glimpse of their pain, and once he understands it truly, he will come to know the depth of Akshu’s trauma.
Today, even Manjari could not stop Abhi… Akshu was the only one that could calm him down, as he was, indeed, crossing the line by grabbing Kairav’s collar. This scene was so symbolic. Akshu and Abhi are lost staring in each other’s eyes with so much hurt, and both Manish and Harsh use this opportunity to come stand on opposite sides. But, Abhira don’t even see that, because they are only looking at each other. Their families can be at odds, but they won’t be able to separate them.
The song that plays as Akshu is leaving is so symbolic. Abhi holds onto her dress until the very last minute just like a little kid does to their mother so that they don’t get lost. Without Akshu, Abhi is lost in this world. This is their first love and their first hurdle. Abhi wants Akshu to look back, and right as she does, he hugs Anisha. This sibling rivalry will cause tensions, but at this point, they are on such solid ground, that no fight can dim the light of their love.
As Akshu is leaving she says that Abhi’s house is her house, but she always leaves with sadness. This is foreshadowing, as Akshu will be the one to bring happiness to the Birlas. She is slowly going to take away all of their pain. She is the missing piece and the key to their joy. But, wow… this scene was so underrated, yet powerful. And beautiful parallel to Abhi having flashbacks to his trauma at the Goenka house yesterday.
As expected, Anisha ran away from home because of her career and she was feeling suffocated. The Birla kids have money, name, fame… but love is lacking. Power and status control all. This is the one way in which the Goenkas will always be superior. In this scene, Harsh was entirely quiet and soft for once. Anisha will be the one that makes his head bend.
For the first time, we saw Kairav rebelling and not listening to Bade Papa asking him and questioning him. Love is what will give both Akshu and Kairav the strength to stand up for themselves. Anisha and Abhi are both their freedom in this way….
The scene between Akshu and Kairav brought tears to my eyes. Akshu reads him a passage from Naira’s diary, saying their love is the closest thing they have to their parents. These kids have been so deeply traumatized that it makes sense why they cling onto each other and family so dearly.
Both Manjari and Kairav knock sense into Abhira today to not let their families impact their relationship. This is something these two need to learn, as this will be a constant trend throughout their relationship.
Akshu is about to message Abhi, and right then, she senses him outside. He comes to give medications and tests for bade papa. As we keep saying, Abhi will be the one to save him… this will pave way for bade papa forgiving him.
Abhira so desperately want to be with each other and find peace in each other throughout this madness. We finally got our pipe scene, and although it wasn’t romantic, it was full of so much depth and understanding.
In the precap, Aarohi is questioning why Abhi is here and calls for bade papa. She is back on her BS… as I said after the last episode, she has been re-triggered by everything that happened at the Birla house. She is back to wanting to get back at Abhi. Her look when Manish recalled how she was left at the mandap said it all.
However, Akshu is no longer the quiet Akshu who will let Aarohi trample over her love. Akshu stood firmly against her and defended Abhi and why he was there.
My prediction: Manish will have his heart attack so he won’t come when Aarohi calls him. Abhi will take him to the hospital and Harsh will say he can only operate if he rejoins.
