Zindagi... Tumpe shuru, tumpe khatam.

Have you guys ever heard that song by Nustrat Fateh Ali Khan, "Ishq da Rutba"? Its perfect for this situation.

"Ishq da rutba, ishq hi jaane... samajh sake na loge sayaane."

Today's episode left me pleasantly not surprised... I knew it was coming... Gauri's confession was not a surprise at all, but the execution was mind-blowing...👏👏

Right from the beginning of the episode where Shiv so cutely requests Gauri to come with her... that "please", it kills me😳 Its like if he even asked her to lay her life down for him, she would not hesitate even for a moment. 😳

The scene in which Shiv looks at his family busily lost in the marriage arrangements and queitly asks for forgiveness for his coming actions, reflects the truth of his reality. He has stepped into the sea of love... but yet to completely drown in it. I think he somewhere had a hint about the feelings he nursed for her and she towards him.. very chalak he is😳😆

The scene at the bridge was excellent... At first when I saw Pallavi in TD, I didn't think too much of her, but the lady proved me completely wrong... the way she brings her hand out to stop Shashank telling him not to approach her, not to cross that boundary, tells him she belongs to another now... the expressions were so intense, so powerful... so passionate... the way she ran, claiming he could never do such a thing... the sheer denial reflected the depth of a love that she had so long craddeled in her heart. Fabulous.... the way she broke down, her heart slowly breaking... I must admit, I don't cry easily and that scene had my eyes moist 😭👏👏 The way in which Shiv was expressing his concern on the phone while driving... just goes to show the man is in denial, he has yet to recognize that someone else has taken control over his life... he remains no longer Shiv Kapoor alone and perhaps that feeling irks him too😳.

And the scene of the day... "You called him here right?" She asked with tears in her eyes... The way he got up and averted her gaze telling her to "Just go to him"... For some reason I felt a hint of jealousy in that phrase... something inside was tearing apart... "Just go to him..." Arre buddhu, if she leaves, you won't survive either!!... "Why don't you want to go?... Kyun nahin jaaogi tum?"... and then

"Kyun ki mein aapse pyar karti hoon... I love you Shiv."...

Wow... How long have we awaited this? My goodness... I'm so glad at least one of them confessed before Iqbal left!! That hug... what an embrace... it was as if she was clinging to life. I think his hesitation to engulf her in his arms came more from the guilt than anything else. He thinks he doesn't love her, the truth is he can't imagine life without her... yet the guilt is killing him... aww, my poor babe... Iqbal was mindblowing... the man is simply super!!👏 😳I wish I could whistle because I would be doing it sooo loud right now!!😉

I loved Gauri's epiphany... the recollection of that place... the place where she had come when she left the alter... I loved it, so I wrote it all out...

"Yehi woh jaga hai jahan mein saare rishte tohr kar aayi teeh, mujhe maaloom nahin tah, yahan se jaane ke baad, aisa rishtaa jodh loongi, jo mujhe sab rishton se bar kar hoga. Yehi woh jage hai, jahan mujhe laga tah mere saamne koi raasta nahin hai, lekin mujhe maaloom nahin tah ke raasta isliye nahin hai... kyun ki maanzil mere kareeb thi. Yehi woh jage hai jahan mujhe laga tah mera aant ho chuka hai, lekin woh mera aanth nahin tah, woh meri zindagi ki ek nayi shuruat thi. Yehi woh jage hai, jahan par meine aapne karam ko kosa tah, lekin mujhe maloom nahin tah woh ek karam mere jeene ki vaje ban jaaye ga. Isi jaga par kisi ne mujhe pyar ka matlab samjhaya tah, lekin mujhe maaloom nahin tah, isi jage par mein kisi se kahoongi... mein ussay kitna pyar karti hoon."

👏

What a confession!! Omg... a brilliant episode all around... Thank God Shashank realizes that Gauri belongs only to Shiv... "Ye Gauri sirf apne Shiv ki hai..."😳😉😆 (right guys... I told you, this line is ~perfect~...)... on a backtrack, I loved how they showed the reversal of all Gauri and Shashank scenes.. espcially where he's like "mein tumse shaadi nahin kar sakta Gauri..." Forget it buddy, she ain't yours!!

I think the fact that Shiv gave into Gauri's hug, the fact that he encompassed her in his arms, it symbolizes the fact that he does love her... even though in the final scene he says he does not...

Regarding the final scene, Iqbal again took my breath away... his guilt, the denial, the breakdown... nothing can hold him away from Gauri... I think she will definately forgive him after she finds out!! Whatever the case, the man is a goner, whether he realizes it or not!! "Main kissiko tumhare saath khelvar karthe nahin dekh sagta" This line gives it all away... Let the storms, the winds... let them all come, I will serve as a shield to you... I won't let the slightest pain near you...

Performance wise... the lead duo were simply amazing... *whistles.. throws flowers... claps..*...

Now I'm looking out for some spicey scenes btw SG before IK leaves right Sana Di?!😉 Btw, we have to get our party started here soon... "Mere naal bhangra paal.. mere naal gidda paale..."😆

Hope I didn't make you yawn... 😕😆

Heres wishing for more lovey-dovey SG scenes before Iqbal's unfortunate parting!!

Cheers,

P.S. I'll try and post a translation of Gauri's confession up in a little while!

👏 👏 👏 well said and written! I was just wondering how easy it is for women to understand feelings better than men .Once a woman is into one's life ,she does everything for him and his family and Gauri proved this from day 1 of their relationship.
Shiv changed after the jungle incident and now hes guilty , otherwise hes in love with his wife 😳 .He is just holding himself back ,for the reason that gauri might react the opp. if she understands that all this was a plan. 😕
But i am happy that Gauri confessed ,and its Shiv's turn now .I guess some more cute n romantic scenes in the offer b4 iqbal's exit from the show. 😳

and not tof forget pallavi's acting ,how good is she in her dialogue delivery,wonderful,the lines are well put and said ! she deserves an applause!👏

You are simpily superb, wow, u described it well. The man is a genious, no one can do wonders to this character like Iqbal can, no one is close to him. I will miss him loads.

Yes, yes, the man is in denial ek dum buddhu hai woh. 😆 😆 😆

I think Gauri will be broken when she finds out about the plan, but she will forgive him and yet destiny will bring them together again.

hay DC ur rite it truly was an amazing episode where shiv finally showed any true feelings towards Gauri even if they weren't of love, seems they b coming soon too just wondering if it is leading anywhere as iqbal is supposed to b exiting soon, wonder if they will replace shiv for someone in iqbals place or will shiv go from the show altogether. sad either way

Thanks jaan!!

I know what you mean... I mean although they're both human, their minds work differently yet in the same manner... its odd... Perhaps Shiv was rude to her because he wanted to her to leave him, the sadness that would overcome her upon finding out the truth would be immense and she would not be able to bear it... Perhaps the thought that he would be the reason for it just was too much for him to bear at all... Poor baby.. Iqbal is amazing.. I'm gonna miss him like a little kid😭😭

Yes, I want some nice loveyd-dovey scenes!!😳... "My dil goes mmmm..."

Yes, I did mention Pallavi's acting... I'm a complete fool if I didn't!! The lady gave a mind blowing performance today!!

Standing ovation for the both of them indeed!!

👏👏👏

You're too kind sweetie!! Thanks so much.

The man is a genious indeed.. a madcase more like it though... crazy in love with this woman whom he claims he has no relationship with yet she means life to him... and here he is ready to take on the world for this one lady... A mad, hot, genius!!😆😳

He is a buddhu!! I wonder how he would react if tomorrow Gauri comes and gives him a peck on the cheek... 😆

I know, she will definately be broken but nonetheless, destiny calls... she said herself that he is her "manzil" her ultimate desination... the fruits of her karam... the reality of that childhood dream... the one and only worthy of her love.😳

Thanks for replying!

Breath-taking it was... excellent...👏

Yes, the man is lost in an unknown forest, but "Love will find a way..."

NO ONE.. I repeat NO ONE can do justice to the role of Shiv other than Iqbal Khan himself... I'm going to be crying for months....😭... I wonder how they plan on continuing the show without him... no one can replace him... no one....

Thanks for replying!

Well written, desi chic. I hope Shiv realise he loves Gauri before its to late...I feel bad for Gauri. It is not easy for a girl like her to open up first and say IUV, but she is the one who took the first step in their relastionship...

remind me of the dhoti.scene where she take her step in to Shiv. 😉

Thanks Meli!!

I hope so too... but love is endless... so she will wait for whenever "late" will be... I do feel bad for her, but this one "galti" of others will be the best decision for her... I know it.

😆 Dhoti scene... Haha.. good times... better times on the way!!
