However I noticed how the rec room has become this sanctuary for Armaan and Shilpa. Yesterday's episode and the one from the day before showed us how Armaan vented his frustration out in this very room after his emotions hit a boiling point. His means for venting his frustration out and letting out all his emotions: boxing.
Now we see Shilpa doing the same thing in the precap. This person has been misunderstood so much by everyone ever since she came, and it seems like she will, like Armaan, hit a boiling point and use the rec room to vent out her frustration. How does she do it? Dancing.
I've said this from the beginning that Armaan and Shilpa are VERY similar. They are hurt, lonely, and just crazing love. But this similarity and pain from the past can all be healed if they open up to each other and share each other's pain.
Another common factor: Riddhima. We all know that Riddhima and her relationship with Sid caused Armaan to hit this boiling point wherein he just lets go and vents his frustration out in the seclusion of the rec room. After looking at the coming up, I'm sure Shilpa does the same after Riddhima insults her about her upbringing.
What's interesting is that both prefer to vent their emotions in the seclusion and darkness of the rec room. They don't want any other soul knowing about them. But however hard they migth try, they cannot hide this from each other. Just like Shilpa found Armaan in the rec room, so does Armaan find her in the rec room. Shilpa offers him a water of bottle and some advice to stop ruining his own life. My question is what will Armaan do? Will he also offer a bottle of water? Perhaps a helping hand or a handkerchief? More than any tangible obect, will he try to help her out and offer some advice just like she did?
Whatever the case might be, I'm very happy since I think Armaan will finally notice her differently. Not that he hasn't yet. Prabhat Pheri definitely opened his eyes to this other side of her. And I love how both of them are each other's secret keepers, and after the precap they are even more privy to each other's emotions and secrets.
Edit:
After reading people's comments and then watching the SBB segment *again*, I was just thinking that this rec room will soon become the meeting room for ArSh as strangers, friends, and lovers. This room will see all phases of their relationship and yes maybe even their confession to each other. Like AR had the FE, ArSh will have this rec room.
