Owing to the lack of real discussion topics on this forum and also as a part of a gesture for a friend- Ashu/ Ayesha_80, I am making this exception... of posting a daily take.. Defo not making it a habit Ashu..😆
Today's epi was a potpourri of eclectic moments in time.. before the wedding rituals take over.. Definitely liked the scene between Viren and Vanshika- the first if I remember, before Swamini came in and one could see the different dynamics.. Vanshika's soft tone of counsel vs Swamini's strong statement of assurance- there was a clear distinguish between the mother and the guardian.. and the object of their adulation assured both in an appropriate tone of reciprocation to both demeanors.
Moving on the scene of 13 gifts between Manvi and Jeevika looked a little rushed.. Although I first thought it would prolong when Manvi asked her for a hug after each gift.. I almost cringed at the thought of 13 hugs.. anticipating cheesy moments.. but must say the presence of these 2 actors is just heartwarming.. each embrace was as endearing as the one before.. a cute scene.. not more or less.. the rudraksh mala bit didn't touch me as much coz Virat's bhabhi ko baba bana rahi ho was playing in my mind.. and cracking me up.. Beeji's dilemma.. was portrayed with an easy conviction by Anju Mahendru.. I am beginning to believe she will get Manu back.. or should.. coz at the end of the day the smile on her own family matters to her.. Dabbu's sad face, Jeevika's worry laden demeanor on her wedding should be reason enough if not the innumerable questions of others regarding her absence.. one would think by doing this she has only brought more attention to Manu on the wedding day than required😆 oh well...
The little JV moment was cutesy.. their little banter.. at least from Viren's end and the subtle progression kinds gives me the feel for the future.. Viren looks fwd to sharing the little moments.. asking about her feeling, sharing his own with her.. In the absence of a real confidante and friend apart from Virat. I feel he looks fwd to having that sense of companionship with Jeevika and it remains to be seen if Js intense attachment with Manvi would be a deterrent or if she would balance it out in the future.. as of now clearly Viren looks more invested..
Finally coming to the real topic in hand.. Manu's fake promise to J as the car moved on.. and she sat in the dark room looking at their album.. I couldn't help think if she hoped for that one moment in time.. in which she was more than she thought she could be ...
If she could reverse what had happened due to her tactlessness in the past.. to live what was her right.. to live all her desires of the day she may have dreamed of since childhood..
or did she contemplate it was better this way.. than to race with destiny..and live each moment in the wedding.. watching the proceedings and witnessing the inevitable just close in..
Irrespective her loneliness was too harsh for that child.. till she found the voice she could always share her burden with.. the kind of burden she couldnt share with Jeevika.. it was Dabbu.. her 3rd sister.. the inane kid.. with a golden heart when it came to his sisters esp Manu.. today's scene reinforced the bonding between Dabbu and Manu.. the one I love so much.. he is her punching bag.. her guinea pig.. but also the pillow she sometimes needs to ramble non-sense to.. esp the private emotions.. in a simple way.. and his innocence just gathers it without her voicing much..
Such moments in time.. just make this show worth.. its not the story like I repeat.. coz there is hardly an impressionable one in place.. its just the presentation.. so for those who are tired of the wedding proceedings.. one piece of mindless advice.. watch it as a Barjatya movie.. and try to appreciate the details (loved the pagdi draping scene for ex) coz the show has been about this wedding from the 1st epi and about the impending separation.. so they will dwell on it.. so might as well enjoy the light moments and shed random tears on the heavy ones... 😆
P.S. The theme of the post is definitely inspired from Whitney Houston's magical song, dedicated to Manvi. ..
