@Di - your post is so beautifully written. It's left me feeling.....i dunno.....i really dunno how to reply to it properly. I love it when you talk abt AY - that passion you have for them, that understanding that comes from your heart and flows out in your words is so beautiful. How could i miss ashi's feelings of it going too fast? I get that and i feel it, i just didn't feel it came across in the confession scene - it was the camera work for me - it was verging too into the realm of saas-bahu serials for my taste, but that's my opinion, and you're so right - the beauty of this place is we all have such dif opinions and we all capture dif things just from the same scenes. But yes, Ashi was totally frightened. Who can blame her? Hadn't she once before thought that she had found s'thing special with yuvi? She had lost her heart to him and when she came back from London she was so happy, so eager to see him and enjoy this strange, new, and exhilarating feeling that he gave her - only to discover he was with another girl. She had thought she had found her dream and it was shattered right in front of her eyes. She is strong so she got thru it, but she doesn't think she can go thru that again. And you're right - she didn't want to shatter in front of all those ppl. Ashi hates to show her vulnerable side, i think it makes her feel she's letting herself down if she lets other ppl see that she too has fears. She is always being strong and putting on a strong front to the world, but inside she is full of worries abt this and that, and right there and then she was terrified - terrified because her dream which she had had for so long seemed to be withing touching distance, terrified of that because she knows from past experience that whenever s'thing too good to be true happens it invariably ends in hurt. She is undoubtedly confused and frightened. Everything is moving so fast. Just a few days ago Yuvi 'hated' her and now here he is, saying he loves her. She wants to believe it's real but she doesn't want to hope, because hoping means emotional investment and she can't afford to get hurt once again. I think Priya brought this out without needing to utter any dialogue - you can feel it in her posture, in the way she holds herself, and of course in her eyes. You can see that conflict btwn wanting to believe and that lil voice in her head saying, this is all a dream. That lil voice was always there i think, and that's why when latty was taunting her she instinctively knew s'thing was wrong, coz all along she kept waiting for it to shatter.
@Harshu - so agree with everything you wrote. S2 was such a joke - it made me actually hate remix. Whenever i think of how they ruined the show i get dispirited.
