Ok, finally managed to rewatch the epi aaraam se and gather my thoughts...
Stand out moments in the first scene...the way Shivaay supportively had his hand on Anika's back as she told the truth and then the way he picked up from where she stopped when the questions got extra awkward.
I think more than anything, the solidity of their relationship really shone through in that scene. In this scene, we saw the Shivaay that Anika is in awe of...the one who's so rock solid in standing by her in a way only he can...with firmness and conviction...the way he shut down Dinky Maasi trying to question if there's anything wrong with Anika and the heartfelt conviction with which he said, "My Anika is perfect"...and the way Anika was watching him in response...
The most noteworthy thing there was their ability to be in their own little bubble/world even while being surrounded with a whole audience of family...his words recapping their journey in terms of what held them back for so long felt like they were more for Anika than everyone else...
It was a rare insight into Shivaay's thought process today vis a vis how he's approached his evolution with Anika...it was never explicitly stated before today, only implicitly understood in his actions how much he wanted to give her that sense of security for her to open up to him and fully accept him before they move forward...today he stated it as he talked about wanting to be her friend before anything else...realizing how long she has battled life alone and wanting to earn his way into her heart, not just claiming her for the sake of it.
Ofcourse it would have helped if we hadn't had any Tanya detours along the way but never mind all that now😆
I don't think any other show would have had the guts to have had such a candid discussion about a couple's intimate life...the way Shivaay turned it philosophical by the end with the description of a caged bird needing time to learn to fly again...beautifully done.
And then their scene in the room...another round of apologies and thank yous and reassurances😆...but as always, they nailed it with the nuances...today he brushed her tears aside in a new way...she rubbed her hand over the center of his chest rather than the side of it...so in sync the nuances as always...and then came the adorable analogy about him being the A side to her B side...some fantastic expressions from SC especially in this scene...reminded me a bit of the custody papers scene expressions where she was lovely.
LOL@ Anika calling Shivaay besharam when he maaroes a try again and then he's like "tum bhi besharam bano na"😆
Anika's expression was hilarious here
The tiger comedy turned out surprisingly hilarious...especially for everyone's reactions and panic...Shivaay trying to hide behind Anika and correcting her that it's not a sher, but a tiger was funny.
Precap mein Anika with her PREM KI DEVI DVD was pretty😆
