Word of Caution: My happiness level after seeing in episode is directly proportional to the length of my posts, hence today's one is super long, good luck and hope you make it to the end without falling asleep..๐
Laal Office-nama & Prep for Hell (read: loonie quilla) Visit: We start today's episode was Navya devi shaking like a leaf as if she is in a haunted house and knocking exactly three times on Amar's cabin..I don't get her, one second she is in total pravachan mode shutting up Boo-Ah-Daadi and as soon as she sets foot in the laal office she is trembling, stammering, scared, as if she has seen a ghost right now..Multiple Personality Disorder anyone?๐๐ Moving on, Amar is out and Navya tells Trisha her dilemma about not having any work to do whatsoever..I found it a bit surprising that the two bosses did not assign Navya any work related to the anniversay issue, its a bit weird considering how her idea was being implemented.. Anyway, Trisha gave her share of work to Navya, and our devi jee, the ever so eager push over, gladly took the responsibility..I so know she is going to screw up somehow, something will go wrong for sure!๐ Next up, we see Navya devi contemplating on her wardrobe regarding her stay at the Bajpayees..I felt so sorry for the poor thing who was all frazzled thinking that she might have to doll up like a jewelry store mannequin much like all the bahuriyas of the loonie clan..๐ She is so clueless, like a lost little lamb venturing out into dangerous territories, and she has every reason to be scared too..Renu, while your advice of Navya just being herself at the loonie quilla sounds all nice, it definitely is not a good idea..We all know she will land up in loads of trouble because of doing just that..
Bhelcum to Hell Nabbya: Finally, devi jee is here to spend "Woh saat din" at her not so lovely sasural..Navya, I really hope you are prepared for the crash course on "How to survive at the loonie quilla 101"..๐ Meeta was there giving her daughter pointers like never leave the room without dupatta, help out in the kitchen, don't sleep in on weekends etc. I totally sympathize with Meeta's worries, all of them know how the loonies are more or less, the thought of living your naive, gullible daughter in such a place must have been daunting to say the least..๐ญ Moving on, Rama was obviously shooting daggers at her presumed Sautan..When she followed Renu I totally thought we are in a for a huge show down where Rama blames Renu for trying to steal Mr.Bechara..But lo, she just inquired about Gautam and grumbled some more because Renu said her boss is not just nice, but very nice...I am telling you all, Rama is like a pressure cooker now, about to blow her lid off very soon..๐ Soon enough it was time for the Mishras to bid adieu..That scene was so emotional..Once again, my heart broke seeing how Navya kept looking at her family wistfully, sad and scared in this new place..While I am at it, WTH is wrong with this Boo-Ah-Daadi woman?? ๐กDid she actually make a face and jhatkaoed her mundi when Navya was hugging her family goodbye? Seriously you old hag, what part of saying bye to your family is against parampara and sanskar now?๐ก And I am a bit peeved with Majnu too for not hanging around after the Mishras left and thereby giving BD the opportunity to spew out some more venom blabbering about Navya should remember that this is not her home and all..Much to my surprise and jou, Dukhi Aatma overheard and instead of looking sad as usual, she actually looked like she annoyed with BD..Wah Wah Dukhi Aatma, the bangs have empowered you!๐
The much sought after magic finally shows up!: Naturally Navya was feeling helpless, scared, confused, and most of all, alone in the loonie quilla..This is probably the first time in her life where she had to stay all alone, without anyone from her family by her side..I felt so sad for the poor thing when she clutched her family photo and started crying..๐ญ But fear not, when Majnu is here!! After having battled through many obstacles (Read: Rama, Creepy Baba, Angry Papa) Majnu somehow made it to his lady love..๐ What ensued next is a classic AnYalicious scene..I could finally feel the magic/mojo/chemistry after an eternity..Anant on seeing a distraught Navya sits in in front of her, leans in real close and tells her that she will never be alone in this house because he will be by her side every step of the way..The look in his eyes when he said this was jaanlewa..His eyes brimmed with care, concern, and most of all lots and lots of love for the girl sitting in front of him..โบ๏ธ See this is what I was blabbering about all this while..He didn't speak any bhari bhalkam dialogues, he didn't need to hug her, or touch her in any way, but I still felt all gooey and warm while watching the scene..๐ณ There was no need for a lot of dialogues, his eyes said it all, and the sense of relief etched across her face when he reassured her conveyed all that was to be expressed..โค๏ธAnd the way he ever so lightly whispered "I Love You" before leaning in real close to kiss her on the forehead, melted me to a puddle..โบ๏ธ I was a goner today!! Phangirls around the world rejoice!! Our AnYa finally looked like a couple deeply and madly in love..๐ The last bit with the little banter where Navya makes him think that they have an unwanted visitor was hilarious!! A proper and legit AnYalicious scene after eons..Director jee, Shaheer and Soumya, please keep doing whatever you did differently while shooting this scene..Today's episode proved that the magical chemistry is still very much there, you just need to know how to extract it out..๐๐ผ
Navya commits ghor pap : First of all Nidhi, kya baat hai, you told us that something like this would happen only! ๐ So Navya devi came into the kitchen and took the tray of glasses from Dukhi Aatma's hand..BTW look out for Majnu grinning like a proud man was Navya put down the glasses, its way too adorable..๐๐ And the wink that followed was aww-worthy..After finishing her chore Navya sits down to eat oblivious to the fact that Daughter In Laws of the loonie khandan are treated like second class humans who are not even allowed to eat at the same table as the mards and Boo-Ah-Daadi..๐คข She was happily turning over her plates and bowls unaware of the open-jawed expression of shock directed at her from every direction..I don't know what to feel now, on one hand the custom of the women of the house eating later still very much exists in the desi society, and it is something all of us are aware of..But Navya had grown up in a house where this custom did not exist, she had never seen her mom just stand and serve, and she was expecting Rama and the Dukhi Aatmas to sit down and eat too..I am very curious as to what will happen now..Will the loonies let it slide or will they make a big hoopla? Things are getting very interesting now!๐
Random Musings:
1) Kudos the the sound wale bhaiyaa for using Muskura Do BG insetad of K3G Aaa horror for the AnYa scene..๐
2) Navya hun please put your hair up in a bun more often, the look suits you..๐
3) Creepy Baba, remember "Atithi Devi Bhavo"? Next time please stand around till the guests have already left instead of sauntering back to your room while they are still there..
That's all from my side, as always likes/comments much appreciated..
