Neil bhatt is phenomenal today! Yesterday was Ayesha's day and today is Neil's. He brought out all the emotions that he feels for Sai today. I was very unhappy with him yesterday when he did not flinch to hold her when she said 'orphan'. But he made up for that today. Best things I liked in the episode are
1. The peace/pride Virat gets when Sai is being loved by everyone. When Rajeev puts his hand on her head, the genuine feelings of love and care Virat showed is something I always want him to retain, irrespective of his relationship with her. It is much deeper than the love they share as husband and wife.
2. When Ashwini said she forgave Sai, Virat show incredulity may be because he is finding it hard that he is not able to forgive her and everyone especially his mother is also forgiven. It is like feeding his own brain that he should not forgive her whereas he already did. He said in his own words that he is seeing her efforts and love for him. The denial is leaving him slowly.
3. When Sunny elaborates on what Sai is feeling, he leaves the last shreds of his denial with that question "Why is she doing this?". He found his answers then only, I felt.
4. The room scene and dialogue with his self is very good. I liked how the gushing emotions for her which he deliberately hidden till now came about and the way he hid like a child when she woke up, sums up his fears. He is not ready to face her and confess his love. It is a very good directional touch. HE WANTS HER TO SHOW HIM HER LOVE. It is not arrogance, it is just a wish to see her love for him, through her words and actions. This is all what he craved and he wants to see it! He is seeking her confession instead of say wanting it.
5. His discussion and meltdonw with the family is too good! His pride when he said how Sai made him realize, particularly after "nafrat/mohabat" dialogue again showed how much he values Sai's ideas and her goodness. He admires her for who she is as a person.
I liked the episode because Virat is in his elements. And there is a hope he will see Sai's pain during Sruthi track
PS: Why did VIrat come into the room at night with hand on his cheek. Bhavashyavani pata hain kya isko kal kya honewala hain. ?
I agree. Neil was fantastic in today's episode. His expressions,body language said it all. I loved everything and hope he realises Sai loves him the way he loves her unconditionally.
