I liked the scene. He casually said hello but when their eyes met, he kind of goes into a trance and when he realized he’s staring, he pulls his gaze off of her and walks away. He’s visibly shaken after but tries to compose himself. Unfortunately it’s short and the rest of the scenes drag on.
this is what i mean by weak grip on characterization by actors. bilal had changed his gaze towards sadaf in e18 and e19 when he took the rishta and in the ghoonghat scene. i liked that nuance in characterization. but in e23, bilal is back to his old self where he would give nibba stares to sadaf for 10 seconds and then look away. agar character ke hissab se chalo that this is a guy who changed his gaze but today he couldn't help himself. then that stare needed to be less deliberate and he needed to have looked embarrassed or angry at himself after looking away for going against his diktat, and not smirky and giggly.
wahaj has had some really strong scenes but the overall characterization has been inconsistent (I'm not talking script but expressions and body language to convey character's emotional state and arc).
