Watched the episode last night (Nov 26th episode).
The way Arjun used his anger to hide his pain was amazing. For most ppl would see the anger he showed Purvi, but the anger was so that the amount of pain he had in his lifetime would not make him weak, soft and vulnerable... it would not leave him open to be hurt again. The anger was a facade for his pain. A mask!!!
The way he looked helpless and completely alone and lonely when he said that he lives in a hotel and had no one for the last 20 years was truly amazing. The way he turned his back on her, cause in my mind, if he looked at her anymore, he would crack, break and his well controlled feelings would break his wall and create a flood of emotions. The slight on Purvi with his straight back was betrayed by his eyes, that spoke of his love and pain and sadness at 20 years lost. The way he swallowed as if there was a big lump in his throat that was caused by the tears he refused to shed before a woman he thinks doesnt deserve them cause she didnt trust in him and value his love.
When Purvi grabbed Arjun, you could have seen the desperation in her and on her face. The NEED to be wrong about what she knows now... the need to be right about the past... for she was desperate to not face that she lost 20 years with the man she loved. 20 years of living with hate and 20 years of having her daughter separated from her father. The desperation was there.
The utter desolation they caused themselves was so evident today. You can do nothing but pity them for whats lost and what was lost stupidly.
Forgive me for the long post and for still trying to make sense of the bakwaas Rishta!
The intensity and emotions displayed by Arjun and Purvi were so strong that despite the idiocy, nonsensical words, utter crap and trashy reason that was dished out to us, we still couldnt help but connect to these characters and their feelings.
Thats the emotions great actions pull from us the viewers. Great job Rithvik and Asha!!!
