Great review as usual Hari. Thanks for the tag.
Some highlights of the episode for me:
- Ak lifting abhi (I want bts of that- surely there must have been lots of fun banters about it)
- Ak making papa Birla join in the dance (I wanted to see a closeup of abhis reaction on it)
- Ar and kairav hugging Abhi before Ak could. That surely came as a surprise to ak, abhi and to us audience as well
- Regarding Ar- I donβt think she has yet forgiven abhi. From what I understand, She is very selfish yet caring for family (in her own weird way π) person and in that situation her goal was that bade papa should be saved . So in that moment, she is happy that abhi has achieved the goal of saving Manish and hence the hug is spur of the moment kind of a thing. Once she sees ak and abhi together, her ego will be again triggered and she will be back to her jealous mode. She will basically be thali ka baingan, kabhi idhar kabhi udhar, depending on which aspect of her character is triggered. π
- Coming to precarious, we will need to wait for the episode but looks like abhi is being insecure and rightly so. I am not saying that Ak is wrong but I feel itβs very natural for abhi to feel that way. Ak had taken him on an emotional roller coaster ride after tilak, giving mixed signals and confusing him. That fear of loosing her to family is not going to go away by itself. He will need some reassurance from Ak to overcome that.
Right now, abhi knows that he is very important to ak, may been as important as her family but what if there is a situation where she is asked to choose between family and abhi. What happens then? If a similar situation is put against abhi, he is sure to choose Ak but he doesnβt know what will ak do. Also, today when she said, βagar bade papa ko kuch ho jata toh mein apne aap ko maaf nahi kartiβ meaning, she is thinking that she is responsible for manishs condition as she sided with abhi and went against Manish. So her feeling guilty will make him second guess if she is actually feeling guilty for choosing him. Also, when ak came to know about kairav and anisha, she was supporting kairav who was choosing family against love and I am sure that didnβt settle very well with abhi as well atleast subconsciously. Abhiβs insecurity had come out when he held kairav by collar and was telling him, βak ka bhi aisa hi tha- kabhi Haan kabhi naa. Yeh aap logo ka kya tarika hain?β Ak failed to recognize and address his insecurity then.. so itβs coming up again..
but itβs good that they are showing this now before marriage rather than bring it up later and cause problems in marital life. Loving this track where they are growing their love and understanding for each other.
