I watched the first half of the episode in HD in one sitting, and it does make a significant difference. Because I am feeling numb after watching it. Instagram is definitely to blame. I forgot all my complaints about editing and whatnot because I was so emotionally immersed. Iโm pretty sure I forgot to blink a few times; the emotions were that overwhelming. I had to pause after the nighttime scene before continuing.
Some scenes just hit the spot for me, I want to write about it because I felt they were beautifully performed! Sorry its a long one!
Ani: "kya hua Jhanak naraz ho gai kya?"
Jhanak: "Naraz ? samaz aata hai aapako?"
Ani: instant feeling of regret
This is the same Ani who said some very hurtful things to Jhanak without feeling any remorse afterward. These words do not even compare to what he has said to her in the past. But now he is regretting his choice of words instantly. I am liking this new Ani.
Jhanak: Kisi ka gift kisi aur ko dena...
Ani: Aisa hua hai kya kabhi?
Jhanak thinks of her sindoor (her right, her gift) that Ani is going to pass on to Arshi soon, while Ani thinks of the love (the gift) he showed to Arshi in front of Jhanak. His heart loves Jhanak but he dared to share (gift dena) that love with someone else! He is on the verge of losing her forever, is he now realizing the gravity of his silly actions? I think so...
Convincing Jhanak to put the ring on his finger... using his wicked convincing powers...
Ani: Gift tum like aayi ho to tum hi muze pehanao...
If that is the case, he should have allowed Arshi to put the ring on as well. Love is making our lying machine a bit sloppy!
At this moment, Ani has given himself to Jhanak willingly, and wholeheartedly. .. When someone falls in love, they forget themselves and belong entirely to the other person...
That head nod to tell Jhanak to go ahead and put the ring on his ring finger without any hesitation
as if that's where it belongs
as if only Jhanak has all the right to do so
And looking at the finger with the ring in awe as if that is what it has been missing! The ring became his life's most precious gift because Jhanak put it on him.
Jhanak on the other hand is also baffled at this divine intervention. The woman who tries so hard to suppress her love and affection, can't help but blush knowing the love of her life is going to wear the ring forever and on the finger that is connected to his heart!
The pair choona sequence...
I know we all feel a little uncomfortable with this expression of love. I do too, but I tried to look at this from a different perspective. What can be the greatest form of love? How much greatness can love achieve? And the answer came to be was ...."ibadat" ... For Jhanak her love for Anirudh is "Ibadat"
For her loving Anirudh is as pure of a feeling as if she is worshiping her lord Shiva. Isn't that simply beautiful?
Ani: Ab jab nikal rahi ho to tumhe bura nahi lagega?
Jhanak: Bura lagega na.. appu di ke liye...
Hiba her tone, her softness in voice was simply marvelous about this scene. That "chedkhaniya" when you are in love... that is the feeling I got from this one.
Jhanak: koi plan bane to mere shaher aaiye ga...
Unable to break the world's most formidable wall that is Jhanak... Ani decided to break the physical wall... Maybe he will be able to break that at least?
Ani: Chot lagi hai to tumhe kya farq padata hai?
Last attempt to break through her...
Jhanak: Mai chalati hoon
Alas, the efforts went in vain...
Ani: MAT JAO ... ( the urgency in his voice, uff Krushal you devilish genius! )
An open and direct attempt...
Looking at her as if, if she takes a step further he will crumble to the ground...
Looking at her in hopes for her to see the pain, see the need...
I have exposed my heart completely now, I am vulnerable Jhanak it's all on you now. You either kill me or save me.
Jhanak decides to ignore it...
Ani: Tumhe neend aayegi? (let me try to trap her one last time in her lies)
Ani: Tum bohot bereham ho Jhanak. Nahi actually bereham nahi ho, Tum to kisi aur se pyaar karati ho...
When all your attempts fail, the only option left is anger and frustration... but in that anger did he just confess to love for her? I think he did...
"tum kisi aur se pyaar karati ho" ... Kisi aur par gaur pharamaye... It's not "tum rahul se pyaar karati ho!" What he meant to say is ...
"Tum muz se nahi, kisi aur se pyaar karati ho. Tumhe kuch samaz me nahi aata hai na? Ya tum samaz ne ki koshish nahi karati ho?"
Jhanak dear, how can he be clearer than this? Ani... Jhanak is not one to break so easily. It's going to take a lot more honesty than this.
Ani's childish attempts to aggravate Jhanak with the mention of Rahul seem to be failing miserably. Jhanak is not one to sit back and watch. Aakhir biwi kiski hai!
Jhanak: Arshi didi, unhe hurt mat kijiye ga...
You know what they say, wife ke aage kisi husband ki nahi chalti! We are seeing a defeated wounded husband here!
And the last but not the least
Ani: Jhanak... (and the look!)
Jhanak: (slightly hopeful eyes with a pinch of happiness on her face, may be just may be he will stop me...)
Ani: (with a painful smile) Khush rehana...
Jhanak: the hope is again shattered... again... her heart breaks into a million pieces again...
Both: ( So this is the final goodbye! )
The so-called liar Anirudh is now on a path of speaking and seeking the truth. And the one who hates to lie, and always speaks the truth, is lying her way out of this whole conversation! How tables have turned!
I still need to watch the rest of the episode...
Beautiful writing Vira , Just came out of that feeling and you took me back .
