Written and Video Update- September 21st
Hello everyone! Hope you're all doing well. Let's get straight on to the update (Sorry's it's so late, there was something wrong with my internet connection, so it took long for me to load the episode videos 😳):
~:* Video Update *:~
~ Part One ~
The episode begins with Anurag and Nupur arriving at a restaurant. Anurag asks Nupur how is it, and she replies that it looks good from the outside, but they will have to see whether it is good from the inside too (Very materialistic this girl is!! 😡 If my boyfriend were to plan something for me, I would be happy even if it was a single simple flower he picked for me from some garden 😍). They are about to enter the restaurant when Nupur bumps into one of her friends, she greets him with a sideways hug. Anurag gets angry seeing them together. The guy asks Nupur when she came to India and she tells him she just came recently and asks where he has been. He says he was also here. Anurag gets angry seeing the two holding hands. The guy tells her to call him Satya and not Satyajit, as that is what he is known as here. Nupur and her friend laugh and talk about how he is a hero, a Bengali superstar, which further riles Anurag. Nupur remembers that Anurag is with her and introduces the two men, asking Anurag if he remembers Satya, as he studied in college with them, and that she is very good friends with him. Anurag does not say a word. Satya puts his hand over Nupur's hand. Nupur notices the intense angry look on Anurag's face and slowly pulls her hand away. Satya extends his forward to Anurag and says hi. Anurag stands still, not replying to his greeting. Nupur gets awkward and introduces him to Satya instead. Satya turns to Nupur and reminds her that he gave her some advice a few years ago, asking if she thought about it. Nupur asks what and he replies that he always thought she should become a model, that her face and figure is perfect for it.
Nupur smiles awkwardly and looks at Anurag, who is still displaying the same angry look on his face (LMAO, I wonder how long HC could pull off that face without bursting out laughing! 🤣). A worker of the restaurant suddenly arrives and asks if he can take a photo of them. Satya agrees and he stands next to Nupur with his hand around her waist. Anurag watches this and gets furious. He reaches forward and places his foot down hard on Satya's foot. Satya pulls away from Nupur and looks at his foot and then at Anurag. Nupur is shocked. Anurag apologizes to him through gritted teeth (Haha, OMG, absolutely hilarious!! 🤣 I cannot stop laughing!! 😆😆😆). Satya places a hand on his shoulder and says it's okay. He then leaves, saying that he has a movie launch to attend to. Before leaving, he hands her his contact card and tells her to give him a call. Anurag looks on infuriated. Nupur gets closer to Anurag and says he put his foot on Satya's foot on purpose, right? Anurag looks at her annoyed. She asks him why he is so possessive about her. Anurag grabs her by her waist and pulls her closer to him, saying it is because only he has the right to touch her that way (Okay, that further proves that their relationship is purely physical, not emotional 🤢. It's not love at all, it is lust 🤢 At least it's good in a way, the Creatives have showed us already that it's not love). Nupur hits her foot against Anurag's foot. He asks why, and she replies that this punishment is because his girlfriend is hungry but the boyfriend is up to his own wishes. Anurag whispers okay and they enter the restaurant.
It is morning and Laboni is in her house searching through the drawers for something. She takes out a CD and at that moment the head teacher, Molly's mother arrives. Laboni comes outside to see her and the head teacher says she took so long and that they have to go to the market to get good fish. Laboni says she does not feel like going, but the head teacher says yesterday Laboni was in the mood to go, and asks what happened. Laboni cries and Molly's mother asks why she is so worried and if everything is okay. The scene switches to an annoyed Anurag outside of his house, calling out for his driver. He taps his hand on the car windscreen, wondering where the driver has gone to. He tries to make a phone call but it does not get through. He again calls for the driver. In the background, Laboni is crying in front of Molly's mother. Anurag turns around and sees them. Switches back to Laboni and Molly's mother. Laboni cries and tells her that Taani is very distressed, and that even if Taani cannot audition again, Laboni can at least give the cassette of Taani's voice to him (It's not a cassette Laboni, it's actually a CD 😆). Laboni continues saying that Taani had so many dreams, first Onu broke her heart, and then she wanted to become a singer, but could not reach the auditions in time as she was bandaging Anurag at the clinic. Laboni says she used to think that Anurag would make all her dreams come true, but just because of Anurag, not a single one of Taani's dreams could be fulfilled.
Laboni cries again, saying she does not know why Anurag is doing this. Molly's mother tells her to compose herself. Laboni is about to wipe her tears when she notices Anurag standing there watching them. Laboni wipes her tears and walks past him, not looking at him (). Molly's mother follows, and Anurag watches them leave sadly. The scene changes to Laboni and Molly's mother entering Sushant's office. The receptionist lady stops them and asks who they want to meet. Laboni replies that she is going to meet Sushant but the receptionist asks why. Laboni tells her that she wants him to listen to her daughter's CD, but the lady says that the auditions have ended and that here singers do not get selected by listening to CDs, thus there is no point in meeting Sushant. Laboni is shocked and pleads just to have one minute, just to let him listen to it once. The receptionist rebukes her and asks why Laboni cannot understand what she is saying the first time. Molly's mother asks what way is that of speaking, and says they are speaking to her nicely but in turn she is being rude. The lady replies that she does not need to teach her how to speak to people. She tells them to leave but Laboni says she will not leave. The lady calls the guards and tells them that Laboni has forgot her way out of her, so they should show her the way out. Laboni stops them and says she will wait there until Sushant comes, in the waiting area. The lady orders them to wait outside, saying that when she gets fed up of the heat then she can listen to her daughter's song and find some peace (How rude!! 😡😆 Learn some manners lady! 😆).
The lady tells them to get out of there. Laboni cries and she and Molly's mother leave. The scene switches to Taani in her bedroom cleaning. She opens her drawer and notices a book/diary. She sadly takes it out, opens the front page and looks at the ripped, but joined together, photo of her and Anurag as kids is their Raja-Rani costumes. She gets the flashback of that moment and angrily places the photo back in the book and shoves it back inside the drawer. She thinks that all these memories will give nothing but pain, so it is better that this photo is destroyed. She opens the drawer again and grabs the book, angrily taking the photo out. Taani is about to rip the photo, but is too weak to do it. Annoyed, she puts the photo back in the book and throws it back in the drawer. After a few more minutes of angrily throwing her things around in the pretence of cleaning, she takes the book out of the drawer again (Taani is so cute!! 😳🤗). She is about to rip it when a hand comes out and grabs the photo. It is Anurag. From behind her says not to rip it, and that if she does not want it, give it to him. Taani turns her head around to look at him. Her eyes are on the verge of tears. The stare at each other for a moment before Taani pulls away. As she steps backwards, her foot trips over his foot, and she stumbles, only to be quickly caught by Anurag (😍). He tells her to be careful. She looks and turns away, saying that she can take care of herself. Anurag says she's wrong. Taani looks at him surprised.
Anurag sternly asks her why she did not go to her audition yesterday. He says that she was busy dressing him in the clinic, but she should have told him and he would have gone to some other clinic, some other doctor. Taani looks away but he grabs her hand and pulls her to face him, loudly demanding what was the need to miss the audition. Taani pulls her arm away and tells him to forget it, as it does not make a difference. Anurag again grabs her arm and forcefully pulls her to face him, saying that it does make a difference, it makes a difference to him. Taani looks at him with tears in her eyes. Anurag shouts that he knew how important this audition was for her, yet this small injury of his made her miss such a big and important audition. Taani looks away, but he demands why she did it. Taani says she already told him that she does not want to talk about this. She moves away and rushes to the window. Anurag follows her and says he wants to talk about it. He grabs her hand demanding an answer for why she did not go to the audition. Taani looks away but Anurag pulls her back to him, repeating his question. Taani, frustrated, shouts out that it is because she cannot see him in pain. Anurag looks away, closing his eyes in pain. Taani cries that even if something like this happens again, then she would do the same thing and that he does not need to get worried about it. Anurag still has his eyes closed, his jaw trembling over what she just said (OMG, intense 😍☺️).
Taani tells him that he does not need to feel guilty, as it is her decision. She looks away. Anurag opens his eyes and angrily rips the bandage off his head. Taani says his name in shock and reaches forward. She pulls her hand back once she realises what she is doing. Taani asks him why he took the bandage off, and that it must be hurting. Anurag looks at her and replies that that wound is fresh, so it must hurt, but this pain is less than that pain which he feels whenever he sees her suffering (Awww, beautiful line 👏 Everytime I want to hate Anurag, I just can't- he always ends up melting me again 🤗). Taani looks at him sadly and finally tells him that she did go for the audition, and takes Sushant's name. Anurag interrupts her and smiles, saying that he will call Sushant right away. He takes his phone out but Taani stops him, saying that he won't do anything like that, because whatever is to be done will be done with her hard work. She says she does not need anyone's favour and that if Sushant had listened to her song then it would have been a different matter altogether. Anurag says Sushant is his friend, he is living with him, but Taani interrupts, saying that they were once best friends, and for the sake of that friendship Anurag should not do anything of that sort (Were best friends? 😭). She says her self-respect is the only thing she has left, and that he should at least let her keep that. She looks out of the window and says she wants success due to her hard work and motivation and so he does not need to come in between. Anurag looks at her and says she is just as stubborn as before. Taani turns to him and firmly replies just as much as she was in childhood. She walks away, leaving Anurag to look out of the window upset.
~ Part Two ~
Sushant is sitting in an office looking at some CDs incredulously. He asks what is all this and puts them back on the desk, telling the man sitting opposite him that he has come to the wrong place and to the wrong man. The man asks what he means, and Sushant replies that he does not want someone singing in the voice of someone else, or someone who sings in one kind of style. He tells the man that he believes in versatility and personality. The man looks disappointed. Sushant tells him to only tell him if he finds a good voice, otherwise he can go. The man gathers the CDs and leaves the office. One of Sushant's workers enters his office. Sushant scolds him, saying that he is working and not to disturb him. The worker apologizes and informs him that a lady has been waiting outside the office for him for quite a while in the heat. Sushant asks who the lady is, and the worker replies that her name is Laboni Banerjee. Sushant is surprised. Outside the office, Laboni and Molly's mother are waiting, fanning themselves in the heat. Molly's mother tells Laboni to listen to her and that suffering in the heat like this is not going to do anything. Laboni looks at her sadly. Molly's mother says if Laboni wishes, she can call Molly's father, as they will relent seeing the police. Laboni says no, that it won't be necessary as Taani sings really well and she wants Taani to stand on her own two feet, without any help. Molly's mother nods.
Laboni helplessly looks at the office, when suddenly Sushant comes out. He comes up to Laboni and apologizes, saying that he had come to her house yesterday but he could not talk to her properly as he had to leave as soon as he got there. Laboni looks down. He says he cannot get married to her daughter. Laboni is surprised. He continues saying that if he had known that the broker was taking him to meet her daughter, he would not have come. He repeats that this marriage cannot happen and apologizes. Sushant walks away but Laboni pleads him to listen to her, grabbing his hand. She quickly lets go, saying that she has not come to speak about marriage, but that Taani sings really well. She takes out the CD and pleads him to listen to her song just once. Sushant sarcastically says that Laboni is like one of those filmy mothers who struggle for their daughters, but this struggle won't work here (I don't like him 🤔😆 Plus, I preferred the other Sushant 😛). He says recommendations do not mean anything to him, and that he does not get carried away by emotions, as only hard work is appreciated here. Sushant tells Laboni that if she has good talent, then she is welcome, otherwise she should not waste her own and his time. He walks away but Laboni pleads for him to listen to the song. Sushant gets in his car, telling her that chasing after his car will not get her anywhere, and that loads of people come everyday like this. Laboni cries helplessly. He tells her to go, as nothing will come of it. Laboni forcefully goes up to the front of the car and inserts the CD into the CD player of the car.
Sushant asks what she is doing, but stops as the CD begins playing. He becomes silent hearing Taani's beautiful voice. When the song ends he asks the driver to give him the CD. He takes the CD and steps out of the car, handing Laboni the CD back. He says he listened to the song and asks if she is satisfied now. Laboni looks at him sadly. Sushant turns to one of his workers and points to Laboni, tells the worker to create a contract in the name of her daughter and give it to her. Laboni smiles slightly. Sushant tells her to tell her daughter to reach the studios at seven in the evening, meaning sixty minutes past six, not sixty-one minutes past six (Meaning she should not even be a minute late 😆). Laboni is unable to believe what she is hearing, and asks whether that means he liked her Taani's song. She has tears streaming down her face and says her daughter sings very well, right? He has a small smile on his face and gives a slight nod. She asks whether he will make a record for her, and thanks him, saying that Kaali Maa will give him a lot of happiness. Sushant responds saying that she does not need to thank him, he chose her daughter, but did not do any favour on Laboni or her daughter by choosing her. He says Taani has a voice, a sur, which is why he chose her. Laboni smiles and nods happily. Sushant tells her to give Taani his message, and that she should bring her voice with her in the evening, leaving her attitude at home and that too on time. Sushant gets in his car again and leaves. Laboni cries tears of happiness.
~ Part Three ~
Laboni and Molly's mother are walking home. Molly's mother speaks and says Laboni's daughter's first dream is going to come true today. Laboni says alongside Taani's dream, if only her dream could be fulfilled too. Molly's mother asks what she means and Laboni replies that Sushant is such a great boy, and his and Taani's Jodi would look so good. Molly's mother smiles and Laboni continues saying Taani will never agree for it. Molly's mother says it's nothing to worry about, as there may be an even better boy in Taani's destiny (Yup, Anurag Ganguly! 😳). She says as far as she knows Laboni, once she is determined to find Taani a good husband, then Laboni will definitely do it. Laboni smiles widely. Molly's mother adds that once the responsibility of getting Taani married ends, they will together find a good boy for her daughter Molly (Hinting at Taposh 😉😆). Laboni smiles knowingly and says there is no need for that, as she has already found a boy for her (Not going to say Subodh is she?). Molly's mother gets confused and asks who, and Laboni excitedly replies Taposh, saying that their jodi would look so good (😲 That was SO unexpected, honestly 😲. I never thought she would actually give her son's name 😆). Molly's mother's face falls as Laboni walks past her, she does not look happy ( Maybe because Taposh has a 'reputation' 🤣).
The sunsets and it gets dark. Laboni and Taani are at Bimal's sweet shop. Laboni goes up to Taani and says it does not matter that one of her dreams did not get fulfilled, because her other dream is about to come true. Taani gets confused and asks her mother what she is saying. Laboni tells her that Sushant really liked Taani's voice and is going to record his album with her. Taani gets a serious look on her face and is about to ask what her mother has done. Laboni quickly says that she did not recommend Taani; she just made him listen to the CD that was lying in the house. Taani is surprised and the meaning of the words sink in. Laboni happily says he liked her voice so much that he said he would take her for the album. Taani gets a big smile on her face as Laboni shows her the contract file. Laboni tells her to sign it, and says she has to go meet him at seven tonight at the studio. She rushes Taani, and Taani turns to leave, but stops midway, rushing back to embrace her mother. Taani kisses her mother and thanks her, but Laboni tells her not to be late, as this time Laboni will not be able to save her. Taani smiles and runs out happily. As Taani is rushing through the road, she suddenly bumps into Anurag who is going in the opposite direction. Laboni sees them and is not happy. Taani awkwardly looks down. Anurag tells her to be careful, and that he told her that already. He tells her to take care of herself (😍).
Taani replies that she does need to be careful because she has her loved ones to take care of her. She casts a glance back to the shop behind her as she says this. Laboni watches them, not pleased. Anurag asks her what she means. Taani gives a small smile and replies that Sushant has selected her for his album, and that she is going to his recording studio right now. Anurag smiles and asks her if it is true. Anurag starts to wish her congratulations and carried away by emotions, he leaps forward to give Taani a hug, but Taani steps backwards away from him and puts her hand out to stop him (😭😭 Poor Onu! 🤗). Laboni turns away and goes further into the shop. The smile slightly fades from Anurag's face and he puts his arms down awkwardly. He instead just finishes wishing her congratulations. Taani tells him that she is getting late and needs to go. She leaves and Anurag watches her go with a slight smile. Anurag enters the sweet shop and goes towards Laboni, calling her 'Maa'. He leans against the counter and says that before she used to feed him sweets without any reason, but today such big and happy news has come so will she feed him sweets. Laboni doesn't look at him and firmly says until she does not fulfil the challenge she made to his mother she won't feed him sweets and neither will she eat sweets herself. Anurag smiles and says it will happen (Love his no nonsense, don't take no for an answer, attitude 😍). He stands up fully and says it will all happen, and that she will make him feel inferior and also Neelu.
Laboni replies that it won't happen; as such a good boy came to their house and turned away from the door. Anurag looks at her. Laboni feels helpless and says Taani cannot ever get married. Anurag, determined, says she will get married, and he will see to it that he gets to feed Laboni sweets. He then turns away and walks out of the shop. The episode ends on Laboni's face as she watches him leave.
RATING: 9/10
All in all, a very good episode 😃- I think possibly because there was very little of Nupur in it today! 😆 I'm glad Taani is finally getting some happiness; her dream is about to be fulfilled 😳-the dream that not only she had seen, but Laboni, Neelu and Anurag had also seen for her 😳. The one point I cut is for Sushant 🤔- I just don't like him, and I know they're going to end up getting Taani married to this dude, and just the thought of it makes me feel depressed 😭. Anyway, after today I'm 100% sure that Anurag and Nupur's relationship is infatuation, not at all love. They're not emotionally linked in the slightest, whatever scenes they have together is about their desire, rather than talking about what they love about each other 🤔- Nupur feels nervous talking about her dream of becoming a model to Anurag. Whenever they are together, the only thing they ask from each other is hugs, kisses, etc 🤢, nothing poignant that touches your heart 😳. What he has with Taani is love- he can see how much she loves him, and that scene with him bubbling with anger over the fact that she sacrificed her dream in order to tend to him was perfectly done by HC 👏⭐️👏- Anurag was literally unable to comprehend that someone could care for him, love him so much 😳. Does Nupur love him this much? No 😆. Surely Anurag knows that Nupur's love for him can never reach the level of Taani's 😳. And that scene at the start was so weird- Possessive Anurag seeing his woman close with another man 🤢. Seeing that side of Anurag was odd, because the way he was behaving, it was like seeing a candy being snatched away from a kid 🤣. Nupur has become like his possession, maybe because he has fully given himself to her thus demands that she fully give herself to him too 😕. It's obvious that they have, you know, *cough* crossed the boundaries *cough* 😆. Anyway, I'm just really eager to know what it will take for his love for Taani to come rushing to the surface, I just want him to admit it to himself already!! 😳 But fat chance, that's not going to happen anytime soon 😆, and when it does, it will be too late 😭.
