Today's episode had three major storylines......Huzeifa's growing relationship with Sureena, The case of a bar dancer and Isha being swindled/Rohan trying to jump back into the dating game....and each and every storyline was shown so well.
Huzeifa was sooooooooooo cute today....I had halfway wondered if Sureena would turn out to be some 50 year old aunty thus giving a rude shock to Huzeifa who was so in love with her voice from the get go😆....but ironically nothing of that sort....Sureena was a very pleasant surprise and so was the way they handled her growing connection to Huzeifa....a few scenes I really liked....the way she uses his cell phone to open the car locks😆, and the other scene when she comes to his office and is talking about fixing his laptop but Huzeifa is all mesmerized watching her talk😆😆.....The age difference issue was nicely handled again......random side note....this is the same girl that plays one of Asht's recruits in Seven😆
Then we had the case of the bar dancer, Twinkle.....I liked the little characterization touches....the way she picked up the pen in her fingers and said she she needed something cuz she was trying to get over smoking....I liked her bindaas attitude...defiantly standing up for her self-respect.....especially loved her outburst at Rohan in the lobby....where she talks to him about loneliness...very well enacted....and I loved the way it gave Huzeifa something to think about and the way his expressions changed as he listened to her speech there.....this is one thing I really love about this show....those little touches they add of these cases always giving one of the lead characters some food for thought and giving them perspective👏👏👏.......on a different note, I cracked up so much when she told Rohan to keep quiet cuz she was talking to the BOSS i.e ISHA😆....Rohan's expression there was just hilarious🤣
Poor Isha and her soft, gullible heart😆😆.....loved her storyline today....I had a feeling the very first time she gave the guy the money only that she'd be swindled.....but they throw you off a bit in the middle when the guy says that he'd been looking for her to return the money since two days...lol....btw, LOVED how she sprayed him with pepper spray in a fit of indignation😆😆.....but ultimately our first feeling turned out to be right and the guy DID turn out to be a con artist! 😆.....Poor Isha was so bummed out....the way they showed her double checking that 100 rupee note in the ending credits was funny😆
And finally Rohan......lol....today Rohan ji decided to start life afresh after Sukrit and jumped headlong into pursuing Ruchika's friend Mansi.....but once again, it wasn't meant to be😆....turns out the girl was more interested in his yoga instructor brother Dhruv😆.....but I felt quite bad for him in that moment when he's standing by himself at the party and is watching everyone with their respective date/romantic interests.....in that moment, he finally realizes what Twinkle told him about loneliness....and I loved the way they tied it up in the end with him visiting Twinkle at her bar....their convo outside was once again very nicely shown....Kavi acted really well today.....in the vintage light hearted Rohan scenes as well as these serious ones....the guy really does have very good screen presence.
Today's epi didn't really have much of a proper Rohan-Isha moment either other than this one bit when Isha is pointedly ignoring him and he asks her if she's still upset with him....so yes, an epi low on Rohan-Isha interaction but overall it was a fabulous episode still in my opinion....another great set of storylines and well executed as well👏👏......I'm in no hurry for Rohan-Isha to fall in love....their relationship will grow subtly.....as of now, I'm enjoying the subtle character developments in each episode. Great work by the entire Rishta.com team👏👏
