You are so right, previously in the dance competition he was an equal partner in the victory, but that victory gave him more pain than pleasure. Today this victory entirely belonged to Gopi and he could not contain himself admitting that his Gopi is the best. I will say it over and over again that eve it Gopi had not won in the eyes of the world, she was a winner for him because she had made his mom happy and something he had not acknowledged to anyone was that he was on the top of the world. Only Gopi was capable to give him that pleasure.
Loved it also when Ahem first words to Gopi were those of the long overdue apology.
In short the best Epi of Sns. Thank you for your analysis.
