Mixed feelings about the episode but overall I really enjoyed it. Abhimanyu was on fire. Ek ke baad ek- sabki baari aayi 😂 sataak! Sataak! Sataak! Virtual slap fest 🤣… starting with Birlas, then arohi, then Goenkas. I swear, mazaa aa gaya. Such a popcorn worthy scene 🤣👏
HC nailed the look abhi gave to ak when he found out that this girl had yet again sacrificed for her unworthy sister. The disbelief, the pain, the anger- ufff! That look had everything.
The pain of choosing between two people that you love and the pain of asking someone to make that was perfectly played by both Pranali and HC. While watching that scene, I remembered abhi’s dialogue, “tumhe dard dene mein mujhe zyada dard hota hai” 😭 it was so emotional!
I understand ak’s dilemma in choosing and I don’t fault her for taking time to decide. It’s like asking abhi to choose between Manjari and ak (since ar to ak is like Manjari to abhi) When abhi is put in that situation of choosing we as audience tend to feel bad for him since Manjari is a positive character. Ar is shown to have abused and manipulated ak and hence in our eyes, we think it should not be hard for ak to choose. However, thats our thinking as audience who are unbiased and unrelated to ar. But ak’s system is hardwired to always consider ar in all of her decisions. That programming is not gonna change overnight. So I get her hesitation. In fact, even abhi was about to cancel tilak 3 when Manjari was not attending it. However, I would have liked if ak chose abhi after having flashbacks about their love, promises to each other, moments where she had almost lost him… kind of similar to what she had in the temple confession episode when he was walking away. But I guess the makers really wanted to whitewash Goenkas. I felt this was like final whitewash before closing chapter of Goenkas kaand as next is the wedding and the story would involve more of Birla dynamics as compared to Goenkas. So this somewhat felt like going away ta-ta bye-bye gift from makers to Goenkas.
Anyways, ak is going to choose abhi tomorrow (there is no doubt about it) and someone will make abhi understand (or he may realize it himself but I doubt it) that he has put ak in a very difficult situation. Hence both will head out in each other’s direction and meet halfway, sort of symbolic of how their relationship will work. They both will need to bend for each other and meet each other halfway for their love to win over all obstacles.
My fears:
- Abhi still doesn’t know that ak ran to tell him the truth as soon as she found out. He is still so deeply triggered and can barely hold it in. I hope they clear this ASAP!!!!!
- Birlas don’t know ar was drinking the car. They still think it was ak driving. On second thought, it won’t make a difference even if they know who was behind the wheel as they will still find reasons to hate ak. So scratch this-I don’t care about this one 🤪😆
PS- I don’t know if it was bad dialogue writing or bad direction but I found a lot of loop holes in the sequence. Like how did Manish know that arohi asked ak not to tell anything to abhi, how did Birlas find out about the girls being responsible for Manjari’s accident, why didn’t abhi pick up on it, what about arohi OD, DUI and evidence tampering??? May be they were just in a rush to wrap up all this before heading to Jaipur 🤔
