Hi all - whoever is not asleep!
So, I've re-watched the episode and I'm afraid I still don't like the song. However, the rest of the episode was good, especially the hug and the lead up to it.
At the beginning it made me laugh.. Shaan's paatshala but Khanak was doing the talking and the lesson being learnt was clearly not ENGLISH.
It was quite funny the different entries of Khanak (3 times, like the ghosts of past, present and future). They always say good things happen in 3s!
I liked how the second time Khaank appeared and she held onto Shan's arm it was like earlier in the morning when Shan had held onto her arm, stroking his arm with her finger. Also when he was leaning forward..what was he planning to do..or was he just losing his balance?
I liked the line about his words already betraying him as well as his eyes.. could be a pun, since I think actually Khanak's words betray her more, though her actions have also started to do this.
I think the green shirt looks much better without the tie - maybe I have something against that tie...
It was quite fitting if not a little ironic that her odhani (as mentioned in other thread) has turned pink - and her actual duputta was pink.
One of the lines I found really funny was when Shan was tring to establish whether Khanak was actually there, and he said if you're really here with me i can touch you..loved Khanak's expressions, lol..Shan quickly said I mean i can hold your hand, lol...
I got the feeling that initially Khanak was confused as to why Shan was hugging her..and maybe it was a repeat of earlier..he was practising with her for his next meeting with Natasha.
Overall a very good episode, good acting and very realistic...for Khanak and Shan it's a coming of age..shan adulthood, responsbilities and understanding but for Khanak it's a different type of maturity and viewpoint..obviously there's still a long journey but at least the first steps have been taken.
I forgot they had a nice flat screen on the wall - maybe Shan can teach Khanak how to play some computer games..it would be good if she managed to beat him at them, lol.
Also, it's suprising that Khanak knew what handsome meant...is that a word they use in Dhulwadi..methinks not. Plus it's a long word..last time they were learning two letter words like to, go and do!😊 But then again she could have picked it up from Shan who probably regularly describes himself a such (not at all vain)
P.S - Why does she still call her Natasha-ji, can't she just call her Natasha?
Anyway i'm sure i'll update again once i've had more thoughts...
