I Love love love you HC!!!!!!
I swear. No one is as brilliant in the whole ITV as you.
Today's episode proved his acting chops again.
What a great episode!!!!! How beautifully done.
Jay also did an amazing job.
Coming to the episode.
The realization has happened! FINALLY!!!!!!
Abhi realised all his mistakes. Past ones!!!! Present ones!!!! He realised where he went wrong. This was the most important thing to start his character growth.
Today he is broken!! But first time in his life, he has let go off ego and anger. First time in his life he let go of the 'ME' factor. Being upfront about his mistakes to Shifali and then Aarohi. Abhi you took my heart today by being so strong and vocal about your realisation. It wasn't easy. Seeing yourself with those eyes. It wasn't easy to accept things as they are either. But you did it today!!! He even accepted the mistake of telling Abhinav about his love, asking back for her and then asking Akshara about coming back. The broken man he has become, he needs his Akshi back so bad!!!!! This Abhimanyu needs to get out of the chakravyuh!!!
Abhinav, for him also reality is hitting hard. Before, he was with Akshara without having a glimpse of her past. But now he saw what it looks like. And he is rattled to the core. Everything looks unfamiliar to him now. And he is realizing that it is not meant to be the way he thought it would be. His Abhir and Akshara, are infact just borrowed. Things are not the same. Let's see Akshara is able to calm him down.
Akshu has gone back to mending her home and life, prepping for her exam to be prepared. Her focus has gone more external, than internal. She will make sure that each and everything is back to her place in the facade that she has created.
By the way, I am sure now Abhinav and Akshara are not married. Abhinav said "Naam ki hi pati hoon na ji". Feels like it is more of a hint. This truth will mostly surface with Abhir's truth.
Let's see about tomorrow's episode.
