Did anyone else notice the loose theme in today's episode? Families, and their good natured teasing and ribbing!!
Pradhan family
How much did you LOVE that first scene??? One of the things I truly love about this show is that every actor, every character, every relationship is so natural. None of that over-made up nonsense - no fake smiles, forced hugs, stilted conversations between parents and children, siblings. Priya, her father and Chinu all seem like a perfectly real family, one that I can relate to. I loved their light ribbing of each other; to be honest, as much as I *love* Aditya-Priya, my favourite scene today was the first scene between the small Pradhan family...
I also loved that scene just after the milkman leaves the milk, the look that passes between Priya and her father...that look of utter disbelief and surprise, that someone would do so much for them. Much more than just want to marry Priya, Aditya has shown them that he is with them unconditionally - not just for Priya, and not just because he wants to appear "good" in her eyes so she will marry him. There is no ulterior motive for him: as Gaurav said in one of the earlier episodes, Aditya just naturally wants to help people (side bar: ironically this might be a result of watching his father, the 'policeman of the century', and wanting to emulate him). That look that passed between Priya and her father made me quite sad - sad to think that they had gotten so used to people's desertion and badtameezian that they had forgotten that there were good people in the world. That there might be someone outside their own little unit who would take their side, make their pain go away. It was just milk, but it symbolized so much more.
Aditya and Dadaji
Then, poor Aditya still patko-ing his textbook against his head😆, unable to take a word in. I must say, I agree with the sentiment (of not being able to sit down and revise) and I wasn't even in love at the time🤣 And Dadaji laughing at his expense...
I also loved that Aditya knows how to make tea (even if he didn't quite get there)!! How many Indian TV boys know their way in the kitchen?!! 🤣 Good practice for when Priya arrives 😉 And Dadaji's whole-hearted laugh was so good to hear. He is one character I have loved from the very beginning, for his wisdom and honesty, and unconditional support of his bahu. It was fantastic to see him finally opening up fully...
Aditya and Vidya
I'm loving this devar-bhabhi cuteness...Aditya is one of the first people (aside from Imli, I guess) to truly take to Vidya and make her feel like a part of the family. Poor girl is still struggling to maro-fy the billi, and everyone else in the family is too focused in hiding the truth from her, or ignoring her. It's nice to see Sweety and Aditya warm to her so quickly. (Side bar: Also, how much do you love Sweety? She's such a cute girl and the actress is so genuine - much better than the 30 year-olds trying to act 15. And the 15 year olds who can't act, period!🤢 I loved the scene between her and Aditya last week).
I also loved Vidya running after Aditya in the scene that follows, trying to get him to help her with Gaurav. I said in another post somewhere, Aditya has boundless energy and is always bouncing from one place to another, and this scene between them was so cute. I think I'll call him....Tigger😆😆
And of course, the scene where Priya imagines Aditya 🤣 need I say anything?!! Then she imagines her father as Aditya! ROFL....that's slightly...weird! And scary 🤣 🤣 Ladki gone mad
Then at Pradhan Central, the fun continues...luv-shuv ka mamla hain, so no wonder Priya wants to stab Chinu with a fork 🤣🤣 kabhi roti ki jhaga chawal deti hain, to kabhi paani ka glass bhar deti hain....kitchen mein towel lehne jaati hain, bartan uttha leti hain! 😆If this is love, no wonder people say it makes the world go round! Clearly it's made Priya dizzy!!
As you might be able to tell, I LOVED today's episode. It was light, funny and amusing but still the story unfolded well...it wasn't a filler. I even liked the Gaurav revelation at the end, though I must admit I skipped over Devyani rifling through his office because I wanted to get to the good bits! The precap was even cuter...Aditya ready to talk some luv-shuv with his chori, and Chinu answers! But of course he knows she's there....since he knows pretty much everything about her! Can't wait till tomorrow's ep which is when, I guess, she will go to see him at the university.
Like I said before, I really like the fact that all the relationships in this serial are so genuine and natural. If we didn't know it was a TV show, we'd think they really were a family. I would so much rather watch a show like this than the countless over-processed, under-developed shows that provide nothing but frustration. Fast-paced but structured, this show is like a breath of fresh air. 👏 I really hope it stays this way.
