Lovely post!!
I couldn't agree more... I too at that time wanted the story to move on... But found this track better than the Dabba service deal... Loved ASR visible discomfort... His cringing at the soap... the bathroom ...made me feel so terrible for Khushi.
Like you said, we did get some stellar moments...
Khushi speechlessly staring at him during his exercise and cooling off ...
The fall from the ladder and their private little flower barsat ... Their hesitant shy smiles acknowledging their bond ... Forgetting all else!!!
You are right about the hand holding scene... I don''t know how may times I have rewound and re-watched that particular moment... His regret, his apology, his longing, his promise all wrapped in a hesitant slide and clasping of her hand... Absolute magic!!!
Post kidnapping this track made much more sense... ASR reprimanding himself in the broken mirror on Khushi's Birthday... I absolutely loved that...
Him trying to appease Buaji...but maybe that is for discussion another time...
Thanks for making this post ... Miss IPK!!!
