Today, in many ways was about Arohi. For the first time, we are shown how the events around her is affecting her while everyone around her was acting oblivious to the point of being blind. (And on a personal note, I have to say KS acted superbly with her withdrawn and sad face.👏)
We now know she has PTSD, it is disturbing her the more talks of wedding happens, more light being shone on Akshu. She has no one to talk to, no one even asking her if she is ok (loved Vansh's dialogue at the end but to the others it was like he was talking gibberish!). I mean talk about total blindness!😆We can see her struggle, the see saw of emotions that are driving her. She is purely run by her emotions. Depending who shows her love, she responds accordingly.
We see realisation on her part that she is being triggered, I think it has given her some relief to be able to put words to what she is going through. Then she hears her being compared to Akshu, her deep seated fear, and it is not pretty.
This amalgamation of emotions is bubbling away inside her. I am glad we are shown this episode. I have always said she is grey depending on the situation and it was proven with this episode. She is trying her best to be a good sister but her own nature is her biggest enemy. This nature will lead to a disaster and once again Akshu will be in the middle. I believe something will happen and Abhi may get the brunt of it or be at the receiving end of it and Akshu has to choose between Arohi and Abhi - a mandir mirror moment, if you like. Every thing we have seen so far is in mirror moments so this leads me to think, since they did not elope to marry last time as Akshu wanted family around them, this time whatever the consequences is of Arohi's internal war it will lead to a showdown and then the mirror moment will be they will marry by themselves.
Abhira, well they are in a world of love now. I simply adored the runaway scene with the subsequent conversations. It had comedy, seriousness and romance. I would love to see more of that. That song playing as they rode was about them. Every single lyric told of their love story and such shame it came to an end like that!😆 Boy oh boy, Akshu being in love = confidence in taking gundas by herself! Nice to see the mirror moment (again) and kudos to Abhi for saying his ladylove can defend herself.👏 (he gets a brownie from all the feminists here!).
Can I just take a moment to shake my head at the Goenka's at how easily they all just drove of?! What a family.🤣
Special mention to Papa Birla. Though despicable when it comes to Manjari, he does provide comic relief so long may that last.
Manjari did not look pleased with something today. I wonder what is brewing within? more toil and trouble? or could it be she just did not like the slow proprietary air of Akshu over Abhi?😈
