Beautiful, fulfilling, wholesome episode. ππΌ The announcement was awkward and actually even Nidhi felt weird saying this in front of everyone, but DB! Never one to give up! Or even understand the importance of privacy between a couple...hasn't she always been that way? π
But anyways what followed what absolute bliss. The joy that Ashni were displaying after that decision felt so real. π³ Every action of theirs after that reflected a new anticipation, a new excitement, a new purpose in life. π And yes, the significance of the song could not be lost, same sangeet song, same couple but with a new spring in their step, new future to look forward to. And a much improved Ashu on the dance floor! π
Contradictory to what I thought Ashu was sportive enough ππΌ when Nidhi put him on the spot and asked his decision in front of all... and he was supportive too.π He understood Nidhi's shyness and embarrassment and yet was elated at what he was hearing. The giant hug he engulfed Nidhi in reflected that...π€ the perfect opportunity to have a private moment with her β€οΈ and a private word about their 'surprise' talk. π It also gave Nidhi a second to compose herself. Love Ashu these days for being so understanding... π€ At that moment it appeared as if everyone else ceased to exist for them. And I felt very happy that Ashu felt shy but not out of place having this kind of talk in front of so many people... shows he has accepted them all as his family and is ready to share all his good and bad times with them. π π
Their talk in the bedroom would have touched everyone who was privy to it. Ashu was happy beyond words but still wanted to be absolutely sure for Nidhi's sake. π He expressed his concern for Nidhi's career. Seems like now he has taken it upon himself to become her guide in this matter and the guardian of her career.ππΌ Remember even the day he was asked to resign, he refused to let her do it. It feels so good seeing this loving caring husband for whom his wife is the center of his world. π And once Nidhi confirmed her decision, the floodgates opened and Ashu poured out his desire to have a family.β€οΈ His yearning was evident but so was his joy at getting his deepest wish fulfilled through Nidhi. His joy was immense knowing that his wait would soon be over. π€ And he now knows that Nidhi will understand his words and his feelings without him having to explain a lot... he has accepted her as his perfect better half! π
Ashu simply thanked her for showing the importance of women in the family...πthat is a big thing for Ashu to say, having had no women in his life. Goes to show even Mallika never counted. π And also what came across here was the complete acceptance of Nidhi as his equal, his partner. He can now say anything to her and the same goes for her.
As for Nidhi, she displayed a quiet confidence today when Ashu spoke to her. ππΌShe accepted that she was nervous, unsure but also knew in her heart that the time had come for this. π The Nidhi after the Mallika track seems a far away dream now... that Nidhi was a woman whose self-confidence, self-worth and implicit trust in Ashu was broken.π That was why she was quick to leave him when he choose to over-ride her wishes the second time.ππΌ It has taken all these months and all these trials for Nidhi to trust Ashu to this extent and be confident that he will not leave her alone anymore to fight her battles. π
There is complete understanding now... they openly express their feelings without worrying about how the other person would react...π classic example was the authority with which Nidhi woke Ashu up where earlier she would do so more quietly...π Ashu was taken aback for a second but now he did not get mad at Nidhi. When Nidhi gave her gift and it appeared Ashu had forgotten, Nidhi openly pouted.π Her face showed her disappointment, earlier she would have tried to hide this... today she told Ashu it was alright if he forgot but one could clearly see she felt let down...
Never have I seen Ashni cuddle so much in an episode,π it truly felt like this was an anniversary celebration and a day they both hold the utmost importance for.π Again some very beautiful dialogs in the morning including the one about the Taj and a trip down memory lane reliving all their important milestones... loved it, but there was a blooper... Ashni had gone to Ashu's school but Ashu mentioned that it was his college! π Well anyways, loved how they mentally revisited each place and each occasion and finally zeroed in on the one that is most important and that is the place where they confessed their love... maybe we can expect a revised confession today, one that is much more meaningful than the last one!
Lastly, Nidhi did have gifts for Ashu, even though she forgot the date earlier. Seems like with all the stuff that happened and with the excitement of Anji's news, the date simply skipped her mind. π€ Chalo, hota hai, at least she had prepared well in advance and did not have to scramble...
And sorry to play spoilsport here,π but I am wondering if they are actually going to show a pregnant Nidhi, or a child or even announce a pregnancy... or are they going to leave it to the viewers imagination now that Nidhi has agreed to becoming a mother??π³ With this agreement there is a sort of closure to this track already. Being KTLK, they might leave the rest out... A million dollar question here! π€
