Hi Anu...good u r back with ur 'things i liked' post...was missing the mfor the past couple of days...its like waiting for dessert after a nice meal...anyways u said it all so well...loved the last part...shaheer at his best ...but hope he does not go too far today with this parvarish n family values stuff...poor navi wud sink completely after hearing all that...also gud for navi that ritz n co will be finding out...hope the possesive ritz will do soem talking for navi...which will get him off his thinking and analysis from the 'sant' mode!!!



Aww thank you :-) That's very sweet of you...I just make these posts to ramble away😆

Yes, I think today's epi should bring some interesting changes for A and N...let's see what explanation Anant gives her...although I don't blame him much either cuz he also has a lot of confusions to deal with which will take time to evolve...this might be heartbreak for now but seeing that now the friends will know as well, I'm intrigued to see what turn the story will take...Ranbir will deffo have a talk with Anant regarding what they had discussed in the beginning about whether Anant will find it so easily to dismiss everything as "bakwaas" if he himself experiences it...I think Ritz-Ranbir will end up being the most supportive for A and N through this time...there is definitely a lot that both A and N will have to think about now and for Navya, she will also then be dealing with Renuka issue soon I'm guessing.

well said, well written, like it all the way, u have echoed our thoughts well. I really appreciate u r ability to convert thoughts to letters. Agree that shaheer is a better actor, probably due to experience. But sowmya has so far been able to match him to some extent. And she has improved by leaps and bounds compared to the first episode. Anyways she will still grow, I hope so.
In many scenes, u have spoken the creative talk, means u have explained what the creative team has tried to put forward, it seems u understand them well.
There is one point I noticed when I rewatched 31st may episode, baba is busy shaking his finger and saying 'NO', to think positively I think baba does not agree for the shagun alliance, hence its taking so much time for them to discuss. Thats obvious, if shagun is the mirror image of rama, not body would want her in the house.Well fingers crossed for that.
Inorder to give the lead actors some shooting breaks u need characters like rama and shagun to fill the episode.
In a more positive note, hope shaheers positive acting skills, rub on sawmya soon.



Hey thanks!😊

Yes I too hope to see Soumya grow as an actress with time...she does have potential and is quite natural in many scenes too.

Ahh I can't claim to understand the creatives really😆...but yeah in this track, I did feel like I could understand the intentions of the way the scenes were written to express what the characters were feeling...good writing by the writers👏...and credit to Shaheer-Soumya too that they are able to execute even the silences b/w A and N quite well.

I'm not able to guess at this point if Baba or the family will agree for the alliance with Shagun...but yeah here's hoping they don't😆

You do have a point about why Rama and Shagun are added in as fillers so that the lead actors don't have to be in EVERY scene...but they are still annoying to watch...I forward their scenes😆

Thanks for responding Anu.
I do get your point, but it does mean to some extent Anant gets off scott free. Of course considering that he is about to get engaged to Shagun, perhaps it will be punishment enough.😆

LOL thank YOU for bearing with my rambling😆

Yes, Anant won't get off scott-free either...tough times are coming up for him ahead too having to deal with the Sa-gun in his life now...he will struggle in his own way...and the struggle is part of the journey so I'm intrigued to see how that happens for now😆...I think AN will enter an angsty phase in their relationship now...remains to be seen how it's handled.

Whew! Finally here's the post I've been waiting for ...

Just offering my quick recap on the previous epis as well ...I am caught up on all the previous episodes minus the creepy Adams family bits. I just HAD to FF them. Navya's family on the other hand is delightful to watch. Not because they are meek and docile, but they have their share of interesting quirks. I liked the way Navya was struggling to prevent a confrontation between the Dad and Gautam. I liked the sisterly moment between Renuka and Navya. I liked Renuka manaooing Dadi. I liked the Dad being concerned enough to talk to his S-I-L. And I also liked the Mom being both unsure of what to do and relieved at the situation finally resolving itself - at least for the time being!

Yesterday's and day before yesterday's episode: I agree with you Anu. Navya does the happy family scenes with flourish. It is only when she is worried/scared/crying does she have singular expressions. But it not a deterrent. For a new comer, I think she's doing a swell job! Shaheer toh I've always admitted is a better actor of the two - perhaps because he's more experienced. But his portrayal of Anant is nice :-)

I liked the anguish and the apparent confusion portrayed by the two. Anant struggling with his principles, his traditions, and his upbringing as he mentioned in the precap and Navya struggling with her emotions and the nursing the apparent hurt after being snubbed so openly. Her emotional breakdown was natural. But I will still maintain that I was kinda cringing when I saw her sobbing loudly in front of the entire class. The moment seemed a little dramatic to me. Either that - or it was probably her acting that got to me at that moment - I don't know why but I wasn't as affected with this scene as I was with many others. To me, the scene would've been more effective had she sobbed in private with only Ritz and Appy around, with the guys joining later on.

Anyhoo, the big ta-da is coming up today. It will be interesting to see what stand Navya takes after Anant confesses that he is struggling to choose between his traditional upbringing and her. And also how their friends help out after the revelation ...

LadyM, when she STARTED to cry, it was only Ritz-Appy with her naa...it was only LATER that everyone else showed up and that's when she saw them and bolted from there in embarassment too.

I think my major gripe with this epi though was Soumya's crying...she honestly did not do a good job of it and that is what made me cringe a lot...that is something she needs to work on...the crying looked very unnatural...
