When Love Snuck Up On Anika

So finally the momentous day has arrived where Anika realizes ki uski life ka sabse badaa raita phail gaya hai😆. Yup Yup Finally but how naturally that realization came am toh surprised moon khula ka khula reh gaya mera at how it happened 👏 Surbhi KIlled it Today

There was a lot of symbolism attached to the Shivaay-Anika scenes today...Anika's determined struggle to save him...the way she struggled against the elements to push that cart to get him to safety. Once inside the hut, her despair as he continued to lie unconscious, her repeated pleas to him, "Mere liye aakhein kholiye, Shivaay...mere liye"...that Mere Liye was quite significant. yup Full haq se she kept saying "Mere Liye"

The surprising addition of some semblance of sense and logic as Anika managed to get the phone working enough to call Rudra, get guidance on Shivaay's meds...the way she ran out into the storm again, braved the thorns on the tree, got all scratched up and hurt in the process to get to the medicine bag, struggled to find the right medicine, finally managed to give it to Shivaay...there was a build up to her struggle...it was there for a reason...for her to finally realize that she cannot exist in a world without him. Thank God for that and for no miraculous recovery. Anika ne meri baat sun hi li aur usse finally charger yaad aa hi gaya. Itna surprise kar dia na mujhe that they actually used their brain for once and used Logic. her struggle was real 😉😉 na sirf show ke logic se but waise bhi what's with that ugly dress getting stuck everywhere and the stupid wind and mitti😆 but yes i agree with the point behind it and also that she really meant when she said she can go to any extent . it was a nice buildup ti her finally realizing what he means to her and how Important it is for her to have him around her.😳

about Rudy i want to say i was surprised again that he acted so maturely too and despite getting worried he continued with his mission expose ladybaba so yay for rudradev too 😃

And so it comes to pass in that moment where she is cradling his head in her lap, tears of helplessness streaming down her face as she pleads with him to come back to her, FOR her...and the way her thoughts, her feelings just flow out unconsciously..."Mujhe aapki AADAT ho gayi hai...agar aapko kuch ho gaya, toh main mar jaaungi"...a huge declaration, uttered as a soft realization...as if she was realizing all of this WHILE actually telling him this for the first time...the moment dawning on both of them at the same time...even if he was unconscious.

And then a brief pause as she lays her head down on top of his...as if taking a moment to accept and soak in that realization before she raises her head and utters what she has realized...that she loves him, then a pause as she repeats almost in wonderment..."Shivaay, mujhe aapse pyar ho gaya hai". Again Loved how she said it without any hesitation and ever so softly uski helplessness , pyar,frustration( at him not waking up ), pleading,sab beautifully came across

Then comes the cajoling...how can he leave her now when she's JUST discovered she loves him? 😆...then comes the challenge..."Aapne hi toh tadi maari thi ki SSO ki jaan itni aasaani se nahin jaa sakti...SAABIT keejiye"😆, then invoking his honor..."aapne mujhse vaada kiya tha ki aap mujhe chhod ke nahin jaayenge...SSO apna vaada kaise tod sakta hai?"😆...alas, nothing worked...cuz the only thing that works is the MAGICAL SINGLE TEARDROP😆...which promptly fell two seconds later onto Shivaay's face, breathing him back to life (along with the meds ka effect)😆MOMENT of the EPISODE FOR ME it was just SO LOVELY . this whole sequence was so so SO BEAUTIFUL<3<3. Surbhi aced it and made it memorable. didn't mind the teardrop caz it was worked in partnership with the medicine😳😆

The way she looks at him when she senses him exhaling...lovely moment...and Billu bhi na😆...his ONLY thought on waking up is, "Anika tumne phir se chot lagvaa li"? LOL dude you weren't even fully conscious yet and you SENSED that she was hurt again?😆...the way he INSTANTLY goes back to fussing over her😆...and Anika can only watch him in awe...still trying to process that he came back to her...that after everything that just happened, his entire focus is on HER instead of the fact that he was kinda dead there for a bit😆. hahah it was cute but thoda lolzy bhi tha bahi u just woke up woh bhi puri tarah nahi and you noticed her scratches already nevertheless loved it

The "mujhe lagaa maine aapko kho diya" moment...such FANTASTIC emoting from SC...in general only she was superb throughout the epi but this moment👏...the way he reaches out to stroke her hair, cup her cheek...and repeat the very line that she was invoking a minute back...lol these two😆...the consoling hug was sweet, but too short...they instantly cut away as soon as he said, "I'm ok". that Bit was so Magical but abhi feels aane start hi hue the ke BAM we had saumya's face Matlab kia bakwaas hai itna BAKWAAS EDIT ITNA CHOPPY jaise ke wait kar rahe ho ke shivaay mumbles i m ok and badlein channel aise hi laga jaise kisi ne channel change kar dia ho at the climax. BTS main kitna acha dikh raha tha but damn these editors who are so bad at their job at times ke shak hone lagta hai ke inko kaam aata bhi hai ya nahi *throws chappal at the edit wale bhaiya*

And I must pause here to say that much as I like Rudy and Sahil, it was annoying to me the way the flow of the epi was broken b/w the Shivika scenes and the Tia ka phone drama...especially the end of the Shivika scene in the hut shouldn't have been cut away from so quickly. yes it was distracting esp with the way they transitioned from the hug to soumya face TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE transition

Anyways, getting back to the epi...the final Shivika bit in the car was adorable too😆...SC just outdid herself in this epi👏👏...first with all the emotional realization bits in the hut and then this car scene...that entire bit where Shivaay is like "Tum mujhe ghoor rahi ho" and Anika goes, "Ghoor nahin rahi, DEKH rahi hoon"...the TONE she said that in was so adorable😆...and the way she was intently staring at Shivaay...hahaha...he was alternating b/w feeling weirded out and flattered...remembering to smugly remark how "handsome" she must find him again *rolls eyes*...I love how with Anika it's never the TYPICAL flustering...lol even as the import of the realization is dawning on her, she is single-mindedly staring at him...realizing ki 'raita phail gaya'.i loved how she kept staring still despite him calling her out she didn't stop and was so confidently continued bhai haq hai uska. he was so uncomfortable with ehr khamoshi i felt he wanted her to be her chirpy self isko bhi aisi aadat hui hai na ke bas. i felt his calling himself handsome again was an attempt to get her going again and charge her batteries too and it failed and the girl didn't gave any bhav and still kept staring awww.

Precap was so cute😆...such TINKLING bells Anika is hearing as pyar ki ghanti😆...ting ting ting and then FREAKING OUT😆...the close-ups of Shivaay's face in this bit😆...I guess from Anika's freaked out POV, he's looking extra hilarious😆...and then the switch to that emotional admittance..."Main Shivaay se pyar nahin kar sakti"...aww Anika...your heart goes out to her...that she has the strength to accept the obvious even as she despairs over this being a no-win situation for her...you feel for her emotional struggle. the bells were cute and her throwing her clothes and shocking mr billu was as you said super hilariou it should be fun to watch tomorrow. i don't know about others but for me Anika is a character that just demands respect. i know there is a lot of debate about her self respect but for me she's just way too above all this nonsense what more proof of her self respect do you need. I Have high regards for her. she's no delusional girl she knows exactly what can be the consequences of falling in love with this man can be yet she has fallen i know she's denying and saying she can't be in love with him and her reasons are right so she's gonna hold back i think hence all the chupa chippi as we know caz she can't face him just yet with these emotions she needs to make herself strong before going in front of him . SHe knows what sachai is she knows it's karwi but she is saying it she knows it she accepts it and no she never forgot anything. This are for anika 🤗. and if i may say so I my humble opinion ANika is the best written & enacted female leads in daily soap duniya esp aaj ki date main.
