1) The scene in the classroom after Navya realizes that Anant never sent her the note and notices him avoiding her in front of R-R-A too...this entire bit was so heartwrenching and really poignantly shown...I thought Soumya especially did a great job with Navya's expressions there as she's lost in thought and the dealing with the confusion and the hurt...the sideways glances that A and N exchange alternately...you can see the turmoil in both their eyes...even Anant who is otherwise struggling to keep up a strong front...this is another one of those scenes where not a single dialogue is exchanged and they both express so much...and the ending with Navya still trying to be normal/nice to Anant after they accidentally bump into each other but he point blank snubs her and doesn't acknowledge her and runs off...that bit really got to Navya you could tell.
2) The scene at the bench when Navya again tries to talk to Anant...Anant jumping a bit when she calls out to him and getting mayo on his shirt😆...her trying to clean it for him but he's so jumpy now that he doesn't want her anywhere near him...lol...Navya's hurt at the rejection again...still she manages to gather herself and calmly asks him if they can talk...but Anant is in "I need to run for my life" mode and escapes out of there as quickly as he can, again snubbing Navya...and you can see that it's ripping away at Navya...the hurt builds up even more.
3) Then we come to today's epi and it opens up with Navya still struggling with that hurt...and finally unable to bear it and it all comes out in the form of uncontrollable tears...I thought it was a naturally conceived scene...Navya's breakdown...Ritz-Appy trying to console her but her unable to control her tears and finally realizing that the entire class is watching so she bolts from there...I do wish Soumya's acting in this had been better though...she was much better in Monday's epi...today, not so much.
Shaheer on the other hand, was very good in this scene as he first sees Navya crying and it kinda hits him in that moment...that's when he's unable to hold on to the strong front he was putting up...
4) The rest of the epi was frankly draggeddd...upar se Soumya's portrayal of Navya's crying was not good...was making me cringe in many bits...and the scene was slow...I got the point that A and N were struggling with their emotions and I did feel bad for both of them...but the scene was still stretched out too much.
Random funny bit..."Jaldi bolo, Anant"😆😆 Seriously NAVYA was saying this to Anant? Oh the irony😆...
The bit that really touched me in this epi was obviously Anant's "Meri taraf dekhogi bhi nahin, Navya? Itni naraaz ho mujhse?"...Shaheer did a really good job in that entire last bit showing Anant's struggle with his emotions, his hurt, him wanting to say so much to her but not being able to...you could see the visible effort he was trying to make but just couldn't find the words...again and again Navya asked him, "Main jaaun?" or telling him that Ritz-Appy were waiting for her...and each time you could see him struggling to say something...but he couldn't get the words out...whether it was to want to stop her...or to fully express everything that it's in his heart...it was a struggle...and when he was close to tears in all that emotional turmoil, you feel for him...very good acting by Shaheer...the last bit with him saying after a pause..."theek hai" and then just being unable to watch Navya leave as she gets up and actually starts walking away...he just had to stop her and tell her what's going on in his heart then...I guess it's the visual of her walking away that kinda hit him...
It's interesting how they execute these scenes b/w AN...both of them not really knowing how to express themselves fully...although on a level they both know what they want to say to each other...for Navya, in that moment, she had kinda distanced herself already after going through the hurt of Anant snubbing her again and again...and then realizing that something was wrong and he didn't want to be around her...so she herself was in escape mode then...Sadly however, Soumya's acting was not up to the mark in these scenes or they could have turned out much better...the dragging out of the scene also didn't help.
Tomorrow looks interesting as the convo finally begins...remains to be seen what turn the story takes after that now that RRA will also know about them.
