Tejo’s udaariyaan has officially begun.
The insecurities that seemingly “independent” people harbor because of their complexes on physicality is real as hell and I’m so glad to see that the makers have acknowledged that in her. She has grown up believing that jasso is the ultimate definition of beauty and she doesn’t match up.
Every time tejo is getting dressed up, she’s shy and looking for validation. Jasmine, on the other hand selects her best dresses and carries it with panache. She doesn’t need someone to tell her that she’s beautiful, she KNOWS it.
The way they got dressed for that dinner highlighted that difference and now she wants to change herself to suit fateh’s preferences.
Jasmine knew what fateh liked, tejo was unsure.
Now coming to other things like trying to make sense of fateh, a little bit of his udaariyaan and his actions:
So he continues to reassure her, tell her that she knows him better and almost bites jasso’s head off for making her feel bad.
He is making the flimsiest excuses to hold on to tejo. As soon as jasso said, let her move on, he panicked again. We all know that he doesn’t give a damn about the family because he had left them once.
The things I liked, fateh claims to love jasmine but he isn’t loosing his sleep if she’s upset, her frantic calls don’t bother him.
We had a parallel of sorts with him having a conversation with his dad and jasmine calling him relentlessly. The last time he apologized to her and shit. This time around, khushbir gave him the permission to answer it and he CHOSE to switch it off and judging by the precap, he doesn’t turn it back on till he reaches the academy.
We are all so fixated on hating fateh, that perhaps we are missing the changes in him. He is one hundred percent wrong but his “ishq” is getting unraveled. Jasmine is at her worst and now it’s his chance to witness her zidd in the truest form.
