Just watched the episode again ... and I have to say, I simply loved the last Chhanchhan-Daadi scene. Sanaya portrayed so beautifully the dilemma of Chhanchhan ... a girl in love, still in shock from the revelation that the MIL she was so excited and nervous to meet had turned out to be her arch-enemy Uma Ben ... the entire future she was planning so happily and excitedly with the man she loved, suddenly now looked so doubtful and uncertain ... everything turned on its head in the span of one single encounter ... yet she was trying to hold on to the love she felt for Manav, and hope that it would be enough ... but when Daadi, an old lady, wise and experienced in the ways of the world, asked her ... 'will Manav's love be enough to overcome the troubles you will face with Uma Ben?' ... Chhanchhan doesn't know, she's not sure at all.
Beautifully portrayed by both actresses ... the old lady worried about her darling granddaughter and her nervousness ... Chhanchhan a girl who has always been confident and strong, but is now nervous and unsure and scared for the first time in her life ... this is a decision which will affect her entire life.
I think any girl who has got married against the wishes of her parents, or even more, against the wishes of her in-laws, can relate to this scene and feel Chhanchhan's nervousness and fears. I know of girls who did ... when the wedding goes ahead, in most cases, the parents come around, but sometimes after years of estrangement and bitterness.
