Yay! Thanks for making this thread, Manali! 😃
- "Saachi Ji...Main aapse pyaar karta hoon. Kya aapko bharosa nahi hai mujhpe?" And Saachi turns...I'm not joking when I say that I've watched this first scene quite a few times by now...and every single time, I pause for a bit at this particular point and think, "God, Saachi looks so, so pretty!" And it's not just that...There's something about the way Sangita turns...the way the camera captures that turn and the expression on her face...I feel like Saachi's innocence, vulnerability, and composure are all conveyed in this one moment. There's a graceful maturity in her demeanor, and yet she looks so young and pure...impossibly strong and immensely delicate at the same time...And there's a sense of yearning and a hint of patience, too, I feel. Incredible.
- Saachi seems to realize that she won't be able to walk away from DV without answering his question; she has to tell him that her trust in him is not the issue...It's her own fears that are plaguing her. Beautiful, beautiful lines by Purva Naresh...This monologue of Saachi's is so heartfelt, and Sangita delivers it with so much feeling...her voice modulation is pitch perfect! Every soft word, emphasized word...every laugh or break in her voice as she speaks conveys so much of Saachi's pent-up emotions, those feelings she finds hard to verbalize sometimes...and the love Saachi feels for DV, her fears of losing him, of having him snatched away from her - everything he means to her comes across in those words and the way she says them...Her feelings show in the way she looks at him, too, her eyes truly becoming a window to her heart as she bares her soul to the one man she holds most dear..."Aur main issliye darrti hoon kyunki tum...tum meri zindagi ki sabse pyaari cheez ho...Sabse khoobsurat hissa ho meri zindagi ka..."
- Each and every word of Saachi's monologue leaves me with a smile on my face and makes my heart swell...Those words are enhanced by the actors' expressions...Sangita outdid herself yet again today...I've stopped trying to keep track of how many times she's raised the bar with her own performances in this show. Another BEAUTIFUL performance in this scene! 👏 👏 👏 Ruslaan did a fine job complementing her, as well...I feel he actually underplayed DV's responses rather beautifully. While watching him, I can see DV's tenderness and reverence in the way he looks at Saachi...He drinks in every word that spills from her lips and every shift in expression that is mirrored in her eyes, because she rarely expresses her deepest feelings like this, and she is his sole focus always...I can see him silently communicating with her at times, but for the most part, he listens to her, hanging on to her every word...And every admission she makes moves him, touches his heart, and makes him love her a little bit more than he already does...because she loves him so, so much...His love has touched her so deeply, in the smallest and most meaningful of ways, has given her something to live for beyond the responsibilities on her shoulders: he makes her smile and laugh while so many others make her cry; she sleeps knowing that she will see him in her dreams and she wakes with the knowledge that he will be there every day and she can see him...She laughs because she remembers his humor and mischief and cries because she remembers how she has hurt him...
- *sigh* I could probably write out every single line of that monologue and point out why I love Sangita/Ruslaan's expressions...I honestly think I could. But I will choose the "uptan" line to mention here because I love the hint of curiosity, and then the smile on DV's face as Saachi mentions the uptan and I love, love, love how Saachi becomes more serious, her eyes reflecting how passionately she loves the man standing in front of her, even if she can't come out and say it in as straightforward a manner as he does so often...She feels beautiful because he loves her...She glows because he loves her and treasures her...
- "Tumse BAHUT zyaada pyaar karti hoon...issliye bahut zyaada darrti hoon..." This reminded me of the night Saachi finally verbalized her love for DV and told him to think about what that meant for their future together..."Samajhne ki koshish karo..." This scene took that a bit further in a different way, with Saachi expressing her fears of losing him...That bit where she covers her face with her hand and lets tears fall...Heartbreaking. She lost her parents, almost lost Aadu, is constantly taking care of Aaji and Naani to keep them as healthy and happy as possible...It causes Saachi pain when she sees DV hurt, as we've seen before; we've also seen how just the fear of losing DV is too much to bear. DV most probably realizes all this - he chooses to smile at her reassuringly, comfortingly, but that smile fades for a moment as he hugs her...and then he pulls away (love how he gently tucks her hair behind her ear...it escapes, as usual!) and the smile is back on his face because of that important word...balance.
- "Raat ko...meri baahon mein..." Saachi thinks she knows exactly where DV is going with this...LOL! His lopsided grin at the beginning and then the grin on his face after he swiftly changes tracks and leaves Saachi indignantly shocked for a second...Haha, too cute! That hug is super sweet, also. Adorable, the way DV beams and basically engulfs Saachi in his arms, and she shifts closer and shakes her head in amusement as he holds her close. So glad they kept the shot of the jaadoo ki jhappi hug and the nuances of DV holding Saachi's head and letting out those contented sighs...Also love the shot of Ruslaan-Sangita as DV-Saachi separate slightly (not completely!) and look towards the doorway. Gorgeous shot! Saachi's gentle, understanding, "Jaao..." and DV's adorable "I don't want to leave you..." expression...Reminds me of an adorable puppy, haha. Oh, and the way Saachi nods at him before he takes her face in his hands, squishes it, and makes another super adorable scrunched-up face at her...Awww, haha! They are so sweet!
- Temporary dip in my happiness meter readings as soon as DV leaves and Saachi's face falls...Poor darling...DV steps away from her and it's like she's suddenly bereft. Happiness meter levels plummeted even more as Ankita continued her chipkuness streak throughout the episode, so I won't relive the pain by mentioning it here. Ugh. I do enjoy watching my favorite trio's expressions during those scenes, though. DV-Saachi-Dils, I love you guys. None of them can quite successfully hide their displeasure, although Saachi tries and tries hard. Those moments when her facade slips...I love those moments because for all her dutiful, compassionate hospitable kindness, she isn't happy about Ankita's presence...*sigh* But still, she tries to be a good host. Dils is fuming and DV is disinterested but trying to scrape by with minimum interaction, LOL.
- One thing I really liked about this "Panchgani is so boooring!" scene was the insight we got into DV's reasons for staying in Panchgani...and for his sort of separation of his Mumbai life from his Panchgani life...Socializing and superficiality and loudness (discos, hangout joints, parties) on one side...Peace and simplicity and comfortable silences on the other side...And DV has clearly changed (for the better) if Ankita's accounts are anything to go by. Speaking of that person, does she not see how uncomfortable DV is? *groans* Chalo, maybe she doesn't really look at anyone else besides DV when she gets time away from her mirror, but I'd expect her to at least realize that her comments are making him feel awkward. Then again, it seems like things don't really register in her head. Airhead indeed.
- LOVED the scenes with Dils and Naani! They both support this relationship between DV-Saachi, and I am so happy that both of these women are urging Saachi to fight for this relationship in different ways! 👏 Fantastic dialogues in both scenes - Dils is, as usual, the perfect and ever-reliable mirror when Saachi needs a bit of a jolt; Naani is the practical romantic, who knows what it takes to cultivate a beautiful love marriage and make it last a lifetime. "That is...only if you care." "Of course I care, Dils." "Then show it!" 👍🏼 And that halwa/besan ke laddoo analogy in Naani's conversation with Saachi at the end of the episode is one of the most poignant scenes I've ever come across!
- Naani...She is such a wonderful woman, and she really shone in this episode! Naturally we all must have been over the moon when she gave Prachi an earful...It was long overdue! More than that, though, I loved seeing the relationship between Naani and Saachi coming to the fore again. Such a beautiful bond they share. While watching Meenakshiji and Sangita in these sorts of scenes, I can feel the parent-child relationship come alive between the grandmother-granddaughter pair onscreen...The same thing happened during the early days with Aaji-Saachi, too. All three actresses have such great voice modulation skills...and Sangita does such a lovely job changing the tone of her voice to a more gentle, sweet, melodious tone that makes me think of the childish innocence of young Saachi...That is what Saachi will always be to Aaji-Naani, in a way...she will always be their darling granddaughter, and they will be there to guide her, advise her, support her, and comfort her for as long as possible.
- SO many gems of dialogues in this show, goodness me! 👏 I can't possibly forget Naani's words to describe DV...She also hit the nail on the head as far as Saachi's self-confidence and self-worth is concerned, instilling that himmat in Saachi again...Ah, how I love the way this show is written! The entire writing team deserves endless applause for their work! 👏 👏 👏 "Uski tapasya dekhi...Uski lagan dekhi...Uska
josh dekha, uski zidd dekhi..." "Tera bharosa aur uska josh...dono mil kar iss bandhan ko meetha bana sakte hai. Tu uspar bharosa kar...Aur apne aap par bhi bharosa rakh tu! Tu koi aisi waisi ladki nahi hai, puttar, ke koi bhi rumaal mein lipti hui ladki 'hi' karti hui tera pyaar udaa kar le jaaye tere paas se! Hein?" Awww! Absolutely!
