Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!! OOOOO miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii GODDDD!!!!!! *takes deep breaths* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! *hyperventilates some more*
I JUST got done watching the episode - and all I have to say is: OH. MY. GOD. I totally did not realize the seriousness of the situation until now - totally, absolutely did NOT. *hyperventilates again*
Lol, I just had to get that out of my system. Now that it's done, I'm going to go back and see what I noticed today. 😆
Will edit later!

- I found it surprising that Dutta Bhao gives "hafta" to someone - totally took me off guard for a while. I guess I'd always thought Dutta to be this absolutely powerful don that I forgot no matter how powerful you are, there's always someone more powerful than you. So I like how realistic the creatives kept it. Although, now I want to know who Dutta pays off - maybe it's the police that lets him carry on with his work in return or maybe some politician who "supports" him in return. I want to know!!
- So today we got to see Baji work - and it was very enlightening. Even though he's there with Bhao all the time and he's independent enough to conduct meetings and transactions on his own - he still appreciates it when Bhao's around. He's confident in his abilities to complete a task but he isn't over confident about it - doesn't think he can do it just as well as Dutta (if not better). He's humble and I totally like that! *sigh* I want one Baji too! 😍
- Nakku silently waits while Baji finishes his conversation. No matter how worried she is (read very! It's totally visible on her face) or how much mental turmoil she's in, she managed to hold it all in and silently wait for Baji's attention. Baji's right - when Nakku's stubbornness is called on she just silently holds out while Dutta is totally expected to be vocal (and possibly violent) about it. These two are like yin-yang - a perfect fit! 😳
- OMG! I love how Baji knew exactly what Nakku wanted just as much as I love the fact that Nakku felt comfortable enough to come to Baji and ask about Dutta. Ever since the "teddy bear" scene, these two have been very comfortable around each other and I like that - I hope they become good friends! And we were right - he totally knows that Nakku feels a little more than infatuation for Dutta. And I totally loved how he didn't criticize her on it - he knew she felt that way and understood that she had all the right to feel that way. Unlike Leela, who was all about the social divide between "malik" and "naukar". He didn't question her, he didn't even make a big deal out of it - it was just a simple NATURAL fact of life. I really like Baji-Nakku relationship! 😃
- Baji giving Nakku a little insight into "Dutta Bhao" - can I say I LOVED it!?! It was so true, but the way he said it was so "Bajirao". Everything he said was so somber, so serious - about how Bhao's a free bird and how he doesn't like people "telling" him what to do and how to do it. That he should be left alone to deal with his problems on his terms. But his gestures were absolutely hilarious and his comic timing was pure genius. Bajirao's character is one of the best characters I've ever come across! I love this guy! 😆
- When Baji asked Nakku if she wanted to make Bhao "ek dum khush", did anyone else notice the child-like way Nakku nods her head? It was so innocent, so CUTE - I totally "aww"-ed during that nod! 🤗
- The first time Nakku smiles in that entire conversation is when Baji suggests she buys a gift for Dutta - until she was SURE that she could make Dutta happy, until she believed that Baji actually had a plan to make Dutta happy, Nakku didn't smile. She is so fiercely devoted to Dutta and his happiness. I absolutely love it! *sigh*
- And when Baji was talking about Bhao's reaction to the gift, I am so sure that Nakku was almost picturing it in her head! And I want to see it too!! 😉
- What was Baji thinking of as Nakku left to get him his tea? Any possible suggestions?! I'm curious - I think he was probably wondering why she isn't showing more "enthusiasm" at the news. I mean our Nakku was still quite somber - even with her smiles making appearances, she was still very quiet. And I think Baji was just thinking about that. Because even though he knows that Nakku cares a little more genuinely for Dutta than an infatuation, he doesn't know the extent of that care yet.
- The Patil mansion has two doormen at the end of the staircase outside of their house. And they are dressed like hotel doormen! That's just too funny! 🤣
- So Baji expects Nakku to shop for TWO hours? For ONE gift? I might be totally off here but should it really take her that long? I mean, I just go and get what I need - if push comes to shove, the latest I'm ever at a store is for an hour. TWO hours for one gift seems a bit much to me. But then I don't have much experience with shopping so I might just be oblivious here. 😆
- Nakku wants to get flowers for Dutta? That is so cute! She's so not superficial - she wants to get him the simplest thing. I really like that. 😃
- When Nakku first feels someone watching her she's startled, but then you can almost see her mentally kicking herself for getting carried away. But when she feels it again she begins to worry. And after a third time, she just panics and makes a run for it - and eventually she is just terrified. I really liked how Nakku's progression into panic and terror was depicted - she didn't just freak out right away. It was just perfect!
- O.M.G. Malmal More's back. And he is such a creep 🤢. SUCH. A. CREEP. The entire time he was talking, he used words like "aap" and "Nakusha jee" and YET they felt more vulgar, disrespectful and repulsive than Dutta's "Aye larki" ever did. He was talking in the most "loving", "gentle" and "romantic" way and yet he was more threatening than Dutta's "Pi maine hai aur zaban teri khul rahi hai" ever did. He was "sounding" like a total gentleman - but he still came across as the most disgusting man that I've ever known off (character or real life). And while Dutta uses words like "teri" and "aye" he's still one of the most respectful and chivalrous men I've known (again, character or real life). Malmal More send jitters down my spine - actual jitters. When he'd come close to Nakku, I'd wince - and when he's make those awful smooching noises I'd close my eyes hoping he'd stop. When he'd LOOK at Nakku I could see him entertaining disgusting thoughts. He made ME uncomfortable and he wasn't even really here. Can I please give a standing ovation to Pawan Malhotra? His acting is sheer brilliance! 👏
- More called Dutta a "mavali"?!?!? Maybe we should have him meet Supriya's bodyguard/boyfriend!🤣
- I just realized another reason why I love Nakku - she's a STRONG girl. When she gets in a tough situation, she doesn't just lay down and take it. She uses her brain and fights back. When she got cornered in the alley, she didn't just "scream" or "cry" or get "shocked into silence" - no, she quickly offered her stalker whatever money she had in return for her safety. While usual TV serial protagonists just wait and cry while some "big powerful man" comes to save them, our Nakku was trying to think of how to save herself right from the beginning. Even when More leaves so she can change, she doesn't just sit there and cry. She gets up and fervently looks around for a way out. And when he comes back and asks her to open the door, you can see her fortify herself as she walks to the table and picks up the sari. I love this girl! 😃
- Precap thing: Do I even need to say anything?! This has been one of the most controversial precaps I've seen on this show so far. I am not even going to begin to attempt an explanation of "possible scenarios" for tomorrow. I'm just going to hope that the creatives know what they're doing and that just as they've kept me pleasantly surprised with the serial's originality so far, that they'd keep doing the same. But I do like that the precap happens during the day - I hate cliched "andheri raat" meetings with goons running behind a girl on an isolated bridge area. This is SO original and so much more realistic. I like it! Can NOT wait for tomorrow. *takes deep breath* *do not freak out again... do not freak out again* 😆
