Lovely summary of the whole episode dixie. And very nice discussions all around.
It was a milestone episode in terms of the story narrative. In the initial episodes we saw the friend Sameer who sacrificed for his friends. Yesterday we once again saw that Sameer. Does this mean the story is gonna turn and we are going to see the emergence of the lover Sameer?s
We also saw him acknowledge Naina as his true friend. He was in awe of her and he has already placed her on a pedestal. Yet he hesitated to call this Love. When M and P asked him, this time he paused and gave it more thought before he said Naina was a very good friend and nothing more. I think somewhere he doesn't want to give that special friendship a name. The moment he does that it becomes a different kind of relationship and till date his experience with relationships has been less than satisfactory. In fact I clearly remember him telling himself not to get emotionally attached to Naina because that would lead to love. To him that was a path to heartbreak again. So he is trying hard to rein in his emotions. But he has now easily accepted her as a friend or special friend. That level of emotional involvement he can handle. And he can be in control with friendship but love gets messy.
But what he has never gauged is the depth of Naina's emotions. Even yesterday when talking up the sweater he feels that he will confess and explain and everything will be normal. Does he think Naina can simply switch off her emotions and be only a friend? He doesn't think that Naina will look at it as a betrayal of trust, irrespective of whenand how she comes to know the truth. In a way he is giving her the same treatment that as a child he got from his mother who broke the most sacred mother-child bond of love and trust. And with the bet revelation he is doing the same to Naina. I think this immature thinking on his part stems from his own lack of experience of love or family in his life. So it will be interesting to see how he crossers the threshold of friendship into love because he must for this story to move forward. From this point I feel Sameer will have to drive the story because it's a dead end for Naina. Right? She loved and she lost but now he need to realize it and win her back. Let's see what happens...
