How promising the start of the episode was! Navya showing a brave front, smiling genuinely, participating in the conversation & joking with her family. It didn't seem AT ALL like she had gone through a major heartbreak. & her thoughts in between were sincere enough to motivate me to watch the rest of the episode. However, although the first 4 minutes were great, we got some real Banaras shit served tonight. 🤢 For a full 5 minutes. & that was followed by Rama bullying Nimisha (the conversation between Nikhil & her was interesting btw). Right now I'm wondering why I even watched the rest of the episode, but I'm glad I did. The reason, later.
I don't know why but the parents are even worse than the Shitsters themselves, for me anyway. Their stupid qualities seem a hundred times magnified. Seriously, I could almost FEEL my IQ drop as the scene progressed. The mummy aur daddy's awkwardness in the presence of the Bajpayees just because of the so-called zameen-asmaan difference in social status is no reason for them to act plain dumb! It would have been comparatively much better if they had been so petrified infront of THE Shankar Neanderthal Bajpayee that they didn't talk.
Unfortunately, they did. & how, they did.
"How can we possiblity sit infront of Bajpayee ji?"
"How can we eat or drink anything from our in-laws' house?"
"How can we stay at our in-laws' house?"
And the response from Bua Daadi really made me wonder from where these people came from. "Just give 501 rupees to your daughter in exchange. That would be proper enough."
At the end of that scene, all I wanted to do was shove propriety down their throats!😡
The only slight saving grace was Anant & Navya's conversation in the car & on the hilltop. Of course we know that A is in love with N but it actually looks like he misses their friendship & the little things they shared. They actually SPOKE tonight. & we were gifted with a very frank admission on Anant's part, thank the good lord. What I'm wondering is whether Anant stopping by her house was by chance or by some plan to speak to her. I'm hoping that this didn't happen by some 'eery coincidence that was decided by the fates'. (How meaningful!) I believe in destiny, yeah, but I also believe in reality.
I wish that Navya would fight a little more. Show some passion. Question things. Doubt things. Her attitude is pretty depressing for both Anant and us. I will give credit to her for this, though. Looks like Miss Mishra has been doing some serious thinking albeit her thoughts being naive.
Just... Somebody save these two. Even if it is with something utterly cliche or corny. Dish out the teen-zindagi-barbaad theory. Anything.
So, basically, the things running through my head:
Send the Banaras parents back to their beloved Banaras ASAP!
Stick Anant & Navya in a car or on a hilltop permanently.
P.S. To the CVs: I would like a new scene for the car driving on the road. Unless you want me to believe that those people have been walking on that very road wearing the same clothes for the last 60 something(?) days.
Sincerly,
Aimin.
