Good morning and Happy Valentine’s day Gals!!
For me, today’s episode has been a true V-day gift from the makers. It’s filled with so many little things and a couple of highlights.
1. Abhira - The look on both their faces when Kairav confesses. That relief and joy that maybe with their siblings the history will not repeat. Kairav is not going to stay mute like Akshara did during Tilak 1.0. Although that feeling is short lived, it was portrayed beautifully by the leads.
2. The conflict between the two - instinct making them go towards their siblings and hearts refusing to let go of each other! That’s how it is in real life too, isn’t it? We might love someone like there’s no tomorrow but the call of the family has such a strong pull that it’s instinctual. We debate and decide the right and wrong postmortem but at that moment, we stand by family - esp if it’s a situation involving siblings. I just loved Abhira today. Start to finish. That tug…the ones who have gone thru such an experience will relate. Abhira totally nailed it.
3. Abhi calling Manish Bade papa and Manish actually didn’t say anything about it. Maybe he was too focused on Kaisha situation but still…was cute. A step in the right direction that would lead to Abhira acceptance despite the Rahu in the kundali comment. Gave me a chuckle actually. Manish is acing his one-liners.
4. The one thing that had been bothering me ever since Akshara confession. She put him thru the wringer before that and it felt like he’d forgotten the whole thing the moment she said the three words. Today whatever he had been suppressing - the confusion, the pain, the anger - came bursting out in that one haan/na sentence. And we could see Akshara realize it too. Maybe going forward, she will guide Kairav by making sure he doesn’t repeat the same mistake.
5. The way he grabs her dress and reluctantly lets it go… heart-tugging. No matter what tashan is happening where, his heart is firmly entwined with hers. The refusal to let Akshara go is as natural to him as his defense of his behen. HC is acing this role. No, strike that. He is breathing life into this role. But then again, no surprises there!
6. I neither trust Manjari nor Arohi. One is like a cat on the wall and another is a gray. But whatever Manjari said, we got to see another role reversal with Abhi hanging by the window so no complaints. In fact, I will go ahead and say - thank you Manjari mata!
7. I will talk about the last Abhira scene tomorrow when it’s complete and not split like this. For now, I’ll only say that the way these two sense each other’s presence never fails to make my heart go twang!
8. Kairav and Akshara with their mom’s diary!! Another highlight. They don’t have parents and miss their mom. They are both finding solace and guidance from their mom thru the diary. First Kairav gave it to Akshara when she was conflicted. Now she gave it back to him saying he needs it. She loves her brother. She loves her Abhi. She knows her brother is wrong. She knows her Abhi did the wrong thing in grabbing the collar. But she is with both of them. She is refusing to choose one. Excellent. I love this Akshara.
9. Now we know Manish is going to have a heart attack and our Dr Abhimanyu is going to save him. Or maybe whatever tablets this guy brought will help and Manish need not go to Birla hospital. But if he does go, Harsh ka drama add hoga. But I thoroughly loved Abhi-Arohi conversation in the precap. He knows her and doesn’t trust her. But he will be cordial because she is his Akshu’s sister. And progression from Akshara that she didn’t stumble and mumble. For her, the minute Arohi said I forgive you, it’s a clean slate. She doesn’t see the need to hide or feel guilty about meeting her boyfriend. Even if the said boyfriend has climbed up her window at night.
That’s it from me for now. Will add if something more strikes me.
Have a great day everyone!!
