Sorry if the title is lame. It was inspired by their expressions in the precap.
Res. for the most un-awaited sagai of the year. 😆

I am not going to bother being diplomatic about this. Other than a few choice pieces of information and a few scenes, today's episode felt pretty redundant to me. More crying, more brooding, more teasing the audience about the divorce issue and more Aarti than Yash. It's ok I am not really upset or anything. I realise that some episodes have to be fillers and this was one of them. I just said all this to come to the point that I am just going to list the few scenes and pieces of information that I liked receiving today.
1. Aarti knows about Yash's kids! I can't tell how you much of a relief it was to finally be sure that she knows this. Phew.
2. Mansi-Aarti interactions. Mansi is an incredibly interesting character and continues to fascinate me and justify the 10:30 time slot. 😉 But what was different today was that she was dead serious. It is interesting as we have this highly romanticised notion of marriage, when actually, not just in India but all over the world, most marriages are based on "tan" and "dan" and not "mann". She tells it like it is and even elaborates on the physical needs that men do have. I mean she is not off base here. That is why that Raghudayal wanted to marry Aarti. But what Mansi doesn't know is that Yash is not every guy and he will be Aarti's exception.
But it is clear that Mansi's words did stir Aarti up a little bit. I guess it is good for her to have a dose of such unabashed pragmatism, given how she has been living in her own bubble of eternal love for Prashant and somehow thinking it was very noble all along. Mansi may be a little OTT with the lust thing but it is what Aarti needs.
I hope Mansi's husband comes back eventually and her relationship with him also grows parallel to ArYa's. Aarti could learn a little bit more about lust (I will question her sanity if she doesn't with a shirtless husband like that! ☺️) and Mansi can learn a little more about love.
But until then, let the girl talk ensue! 😃
3. Paridi is going to work after marriage. 😕 Errr...how is this going to work? Even her listeners seem skeptical and unlike us, they don't even know who she is marrying! Prateek seems pretty confident that it will work out though. Hey, he does have some pretty powerful persuasion abilities, convincing his dad about Paridi, convincing his mother about Aarti, I guess he is confident. But no doubt there is going to be some friction.
4. Yash's mom's absent-mindedness? 😕 What is going on there? Did she really forget the payal and the ring or is she up to something sketchy? In the precap the sagai seems to be going fine, so what is the deal? And Vidhi was talking about Arpita so casually but then I guess she has been able to move on, unlike Yash. His expression there was great, btw, and then the way he just softened to avoid confrontation. Why is Gayatri so antsy and what is she up to?
I'm scared.
5. They do get to talk one on one! But it looks like neither of them will be talking much anyway. I hope they do sort out their intentions for this marriage and come to an understanding. I love how both of them looked like grumpy kids who were "katti" with one another. 😆 Cho chweet!
