For some reason that line stood out in the entire episode. Possibly because I'm a girl myself and often find myself telling others how someone's hair can change the entire look of the other person. For men at least going bald is not a shocker nor would it turn heads but for a girl, your hair is one your most prized possession. The right hairstyle can change your entire demeanor and here Manvi, for the first time realized what she will have to go through...the changes she will have no control over. Nia Nia Nia, I think everyone must have praised you to the roof by now but this girl really touches the sky with her acting. Her reactions on seeing the child were hard-hitting and you really felt that immense fear. The VirMan scene was beautiful and truly kept with the essence of their relationship. He gives her support, hope and re-assurance. He knows how to handle her and arguably it was their most beautiful scene yet. Was I disappointed that it wasn't Jeevika? Not really because I don't think the timing would be right as of now. Jeevika still needs to gain strength because she is going to need a lot of it in the future. I see so much potential with these two sisters relationship that I feel their best is yet to come. This week was more about Manvi seeing Virat in a new light so they solidified that relationship further which is fair enough. I'm glad after 3 utter rubbish episodes (IMO), the cancer track was brought back like this because this show hasn't really got a story to tell without it. Now if the writers may be kind enough and at least show Jeevika see Manvi's hair loss then I'll be much obliged. Someone else had mentioned the possibility of showing J shaving her head off for Manvi. I doubt cvs would go that far but if they did then nothing like it because that would truly take the show to a whole new level, something never seen before.

I agree, there was something so raw about Nia crying over her hair...yes some people might think "is she crazy, she's going to die, hair should be the least of her concern" however, I think it's so amazing how they picked on something that yes, is not going to kill her, but is so life altering and so demoralizing for a young woman that it needed to be addressed. For once, she is finally seeing the future of her condition, for once she is realizing that her illness may make her become like that child, someone who might be able to be loved by someone...this is PERFECT for VirMan's deepest conversation yet. He'll love her no matter how she looks, she's beautiful inside, not outside...this was so beautiful to me, the fact that his love doesn't come from how she looks, or how her cancer is going to make her, but from who she is, which cancer will never be able to change.

Very true indeed that a womans hair is one of their most prized possessions...Nia just portrayed that fear of Maanvi losing her hair just flawlessly,she is an amazing actress who always manages to make us feel the emotion being emoted as if it was reality.I also agree that the Virmaan scene was the best scene of their's till date...absolutely loved it!These two just have a blinding chemistry,which leaves you wanting to see more.It sure would take this show to another level if Nia was to shave her head to add more of a realistic touch and feel to the cancer track as this would be a first for something like that and I don't see why it can't achieved, as actors do have to undergo alot in physical transformation wise especially if it's for a movie, so why not for tv?It sure would make a refreshing change to see something at that level.All in all it was a beautiful episode that tugged at the heart strings but I am still longing to see a magical jeeman scene,where J gets to see and feel more of the agony that M is under going due to the treatment...such as her hair loss and how M feels about it all.

Aye for once I liked some other scene better than the behna scenes. It was just so beautiful.

So many times in the episode, I wanted to reach out to Maanvi to tell her she will be alright, that she will be beautiful even if she loses her hair...Nia really knows how to pull your heartstrings. Thankfully, Virat did just that.

I love the last two episodes...I hope the flow remains.

I love the idea of jeevika cutting off her hair for manvi...that will be awesome if that happens. I hope cv's goes for that...but in today's age you don't need to stay bald...all cancer patients I've come across went to wigs when they reachEd the stage of loosing hair.

That scene really was beautiful, wasn't it? The last two episodes were amazing. I love your title, and totally agree. The episode wasn't beautiful because VirMan hugged, although for us VirManians it was the icing on the cake, but it was beautiful because for the first time we actually saw Maanvi so shaken up because of her cancer. And boy, what do I say about Nia?

NIA was absolutely brilliant yesterday.

My heart went out to Mannu yesterday. She just went through such a difficult process, waiting at the lobby to go home...and there, she suddenly sees the mirror of what could b her future. I was also surprised by the consistency showed in this scene. The kid has gone through his 3rd chemo session...and hence, shaved off his head. This scares Maanvi to death because she is going to have her 3rd chemo session soon (hopefully). Really, such precision is often lacked by the CV's.👏

You don't know what her hair means to a girl - Can I say I relate to this?? Few months back, I had got typhoid. Although, that was cured in 2 weeks, the strong medicines resulted in such acute hair loss. I couldn't leave my hair open...it just left trails of hair everywhere I sat. I have quite thick hair...and was so scared it will become thin like a tail. Then, my mom dedicated herself to tending to my hair..oiling it regularly with all sorts of ghar ke nuske. It's all good now. But that 1 month...I feared to comb my hair because I couldn't see my hair falling out like that.

^^ This is precisely I am desperate that Jeevika knows about Mannu's hair loss. I want to see how J helps M through this.😳

Somewhere, I knew what Mannvi must have gone through. Even before in Rishikesh, when she first realized her hair is beginning to fall, Nia was excellent in that also. And she was terrific yesterday.

VirMan scene was good. I din't quite get the urgent need to say sorry - but still, nice scene. Would have to see a Jeevika solo scene...her thoughts after she came out of the OT. Overall, good episode It's nice to see Cancer track in focus.

I agree - doesn't matter how practical or real you are hair lose is one f the hardest things to go through even for man as well as little boys My husband shaved his for our son. I know in the show they probably wont show but you dont just lose head hair its your eye brows, eye lashes etc. Nia is just brill!!

Losing your hair as a women, is something that is almost unthinkable. Yes, Maanvi may not have yet faced up to the mortality of her disease, but she has just come to realisation of the eventually outcome of her condition. Looking at that child, she saw her future and the gravity of it.

Nia of course was fabulous, she rarely disappoints and never in scenes such as these. Such a natural actress. Her reaction to seeing the child, her urge to run, was so painstakingly beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed Virat and Maanvi's last scene yesterday. It was definitely, their best emotional scene till date. And it was only so beautiful, because of the relationship that they share. Technically it hasn't been defined yet. However, you could see and feel Virat's love for Maanvi. He will love her no matter what, because he loves her as a person and that is something cancer can't take away in his eyes.

Had the scene been with Jeevika, the beautiful line about a girl losing her hair would not have been relevant and to be fair the tone of the scene would be completely different. Here Maanvi was sharing her fear of losing her hair to a boy. Who tomorrow can happily shave his head and no one will give a second look.

If Jeevika does shave Maanvi's head, it will just remind me of Grey's when Alex did something similar with Izzie and then gave her the wig.
