Mission "Finding Aarav"

I loved, loved and loved the episode. Looks like makers are in competition with themselves to make each episode better

Ehsaan is creepy. His questions to Aarav was weird. Even 8 year old child found them creepy.

Viaan is changing, improving each day, each moment and I am in love with this Viaan. Yet I have not forgiven him for his earlier behaviours.

Katha's reaction to the news that Aarav is missing was quite natural. Her getting a bit irritated with Viaan's questions, subtly accepting his help, subconsciously talking to Viaan, blaming herself, accepting his words of encouragement. ...It looked real, and special appreciation to Aditi

Viaan was mature enough to handle the situation well, he was practical to check CCTV footage, tracks the van and reach too the child. And OFC he is a very good motivational speaker (I wonder why he could not motivate himself, all these years to change his nazaiya on women). And he was a thorough gentle man in the episode

PapaG was too much childish to take him home, but forgot to inform Katha. He needs to be schooled for his behaviour.

Katha and Viaan together gave a perfect couple vibes. A restless Katha and Viaan trying to pacify her. They complemented well each other.

Second step of Viaan-Katha relation went well. And he earned a genuine thank you from her

As of now, Viaan respects Katha as a woman, a mother and a professional. He keeps his distance, but watches her from a distance. And he doesn't hesitate to step in when she need help the most.

Katha is aware of Viaan's presence in her life and she has accepted whatever is between them.

Story is going at right pace. And its getting interesting, looking at pre cap and BTS

Sorry guys, I was busy with some work and guests, I know I am late here

Here, I fault MamaG. I had no expectations of anything but self-centredness & callousness towards Katha from PapaG. He is a man not used to considering others’ feelings. Now I am seeing, it is partly due to MamaG’s indulgence.
She made light of PapaG’s immature act, as if he is a kid whose minor transgression should be overlooked. Those amongst us who are parents well know how every single day, no matter how routine, the eyes look anxiously for the kid stepping down from the school bus, and the heart races if we are not able to spot him/her right away. If we are working in an office with a latch key kid, we keep looking at the phone till that routine message comes in. And if that kid has been recently very ill, we jump in anxiety every time the phone rings. Did u notice Katha’s quick prayer “bas uski tabiyat theek rahe”?

How could MamaG take it so lightly!

I am fed up of women who airbrush their men’s flaws with wifely indulgence. “Kya karen, woh aise hi hai” (simpering).

Thank you for the tag and the excellent write up. Absolutely agree with all you said - the execution and delivery is so good. Each person has a part to play and whilst looking for Aarav both FL and ML were like a team. Interestingly it seemed like they’d both moved on from ONS.

Ehsan is giving major stalker vibes.

As for Papa not letting Katha know her son is safe is mad. You would think the school would supervise the child back to school and not him in some random old man’s car.

overall each episode gets better and better😍

Thats what I mean. Forgot to call? Such a small harmless mistake? She has 2 other grandkids. What if a neighbour intercepted their bus & forgot to call? PapaG would have had the neighbour arrested.

I expected a stronger rebuke of PapaG & a stronger apology to Katha. Neither the indulgent wife nor the mahaan bahu likely to give it!

Btw I have noticed that talking back to in-laws is a holy cow in itv. Not even after the worst of transgressions will a bahu talk back to her inlaws.

What I understood is MamaG was not at G house when PapaG brought Aarav home. And PapaG and Aarav started playing and they did not inform MamaG that Aarav is there. So my assumption is that MamaG was outside G House when Aarav came. As soon as she reached G house, she called Katha. I don't blame MamaG here

I would blame PapaG and even Aarav. They should have called Katha or Dodo to inform that Aarav is with him. Else they would have informed school or Katha's office about the same

I expected Katha to school PapaG and MamaG, but she just brushed it off with his sorry. I am disappointed

So Viaan did all he could to complete the Mission Aarav and he helped a mother reunite with her lost child.

Katha who was in a complete emotional distress regarding her only child Aarav must have been relieved at finally locating Aarav with the help of her boss Viaan.

But the relationship between Viaan and Katha is slowly changing day by day now.Aarav had sent a Thank You Note to Viaan which bought a smile out of that stoic Viaan.Katha's reality has perhaps acted as the catalyst for the change in Viaan's Personality.

As I was saying before the relationship between the two is now not more than a mere Boss Employee.If anything a healthy respect and a good dose of Friendship is perhaps developing between the two.If Viaan continues to help Katha get out of certain tight situations like this then certainly they are bound to come closer provided Katha accepts Viaan in the first place.

The news reports indicate on which there was an earlier topic too that Viaan is gonna get jealous regarding the invitation of Ehsaan to Katha.My question is why is he becoming jealous all of a sudden?

We all know that Ehsaan likes Katha but does Viaan like Katha that way too? Viaan's feelings has changed for her so much so that he even readily helped her in locating her son Aarav

And even if both had put that ONS behind themselves won't Ehsaan somehow find that out if at all he's in the process of becoming a villain?

Ehsaan is becoming the Kabab Mein Haddi between the two.Viaan is changing but he needs to have ears and eyes behind his back too.Hope Ehsaan does not betray Viaan but if push comes to shove then Viaan needs to protect Katha from his own best buddy perhaps sadly.

Yes it's too early perhaps to comment on Katha's future relationship and Aarav remains her Topmost Priority but the events are certainly leading to that relationship.

Also if there are misconceptions and it's bound to happen between the two at some point it's necessary that Viaan does not go back to square one otherwise all this change is pointless to say the least.
