Oh yes, Munna was so happy that Sameer his friend has realized the love, the kashmakash Sameer has been since long was finally solved and he was happy that his friend is now at peace with himself. I was so happy that M and P were involved in this realization. They are so much into Sameer's life that they needed to know this from Sameer himself. I think towards the end seeing Sameer cry and hug Nanu, M and P were also little bit emotional. Even P the way he kept Nanu occupied was 👍🏼

About the bloackade the Agarwal family might create, you know in some thread someone mentioned that since Sameer is from a well to do and well known family in the city, it might not be difficult to get the marriage proposal accepted for Naina's family. That is quite possible. isn't it ?Unless community/caste becomes an issue. 😕 It might become difficult for Naina to keep her affair secret.

Hi Nivi. What an episode! It was hard hitting, especially Naina's part... as we all expected only Naina's breakdown could awake Sameer from his slumber. As for Naina she needed to breakdown only in front Of Sameer... nothing and no one else would do. As theVO said those tears... hers and then his brought his clarity in his thoughts. So, a lonely guy... aimless has found his calling... to bring joy and happiness to the one... maybe Nanu as well... so two people he loves most in the world. I may write more later but everyone has written a lot already...

I wanted to talk about the Precap... it could be momentous... oh and I'm not sure if Sameer will confess to Nanu right now, since the bet just lost him the love of his life... maybe he will later...!then again he may blurt it out and Nanu may console him and advice him... anyways back to the Precap...

One thing that has always bothered me from the time the bet got revealed is that even Sameer's feelings have been building up, he has been living with stress as well... he needs to erupt as well... he needs to say his side... how and why the reckless bet was made... whose actions were responsible for all that he lost on that fateful day when he lost that headboy competition... and I feel we will get this tomorrow... Arjun confronts him, well isn't it time Arjun faced the consequences of his actions too? Isn't it time he stopped blaming others because he can't handle the stress from his father? Isn't it time he learnt to stand Up for himself? Because ultimately that was what caused the bet... the stolen papers and Sameer being blamed for it... it was not because he lost the competition, it was because He got labeled a thief... and had to face its consequences... Isn't it time Arjun sees first hand how toxic his fathers actions are that indirectly some one innocent like Naina got burned? I think after tomorrow Arjun and Sameer will understand each other better...

Yes. Naina spilled all that venom... she wishes he lives in pain and guilt... she lashed out but did she ever ask him why? Why did he target her? I hope one day when she has cooled down she will listen... now that she barred her soul to Sameer her healing has begun... like her VO said... Arjun knowing the truth is going to drag her back to Sameer...
Naina will take a long while to recover but from the VO it is clear she did... and we know since Sameer has made it his responsibility he would have brought about that happiness in her... but I hope he finds peace as well...

Superb question there Aarti Is that why they are showing building pressure on Arjun regarding cricket ? Arjun is already buckling under pressure. I agree Sameer needs to be able to tell his side of the story also. He might probably get a chance to do. Otherwise how will Naina understand his Pov. Arjun and Sameer understanding each other will be👍🏼Sameer might help Arjun stand up to his dad maybe..

Arjun is to be blamed that is one thing, but this whole thing was brought out by Mr.Somani actually otherwise the duplicate key issue wouldn't have come out at all if he hadn't called the Princi from the PCO. I hope his truth also comes out and Vishaka can see his true face and understand Sameer better.

I love how Sameer became so selfless. That is what love does to a person😳He can't see her tears, he can't see her pain.

I agree regarding somani... it was so much to write, I didn't open that can Of worms... but yes, his ugly face also needs to be exposed... wonder if the cvs will spend time on that issue though you are correct, that phone call is what got this messy ball rolling... Sameer needs to get his vindication as well, especially in front of Vishaka... that will be her tightest slap she gets... a husband she can't trust anymore and a son whom she has distanced herself...

Coming back to the episode each and every one of Naina's dialogs was so powerful... especially when she says he didn't commit a mistake... it was done with eyes open fully intending to cause harm, so it's a crime... bravo! What a dialog... I'm glad the cvs didn't gloss over that aspect and didn't dilute the effect becausethebero is bechara... I loved it when her voice softened when she talked of the dreams she saw with Sameer... but the next second his betrayal rears it's ugly head... glad she showed Sameer the mirro... unvarnished, cold truth... he needed to see the damage, till now he could only guess at it... and because of this confrontation with Naina I'm curious to see how he will react to another challenge, this time from Arjun... that reaction will truly tell us if he has learnt anything and if he has matured...I'm curious and I hope he won't disappoint... that will be his first test to see if his love for Naina is truly selfless and how well he can work on his resolutions regarding Naina.

Aarti, that is a good question. But I think the bet boys already told her that Sam wanted revenge of his insult...that Rakesh had insulted him , etc...and that is why he targeted her.

As for Arjun, I hope the truth comes out and I want arjun to say it in front of Rakesh, Princi , Nanu, Vishakha... all those who were present when Sam was blamed...while Arjun comes clean, sam can forgive him thus proving...he has a large heart and also he can become the reason for Naina's happiness...I am wondering what they will show till Sam turns 21. BEcause he can't get married till he turns 21.

Hi Rose. You are right, I remember the bet boys saying that now... guess she also believes that is the reason, other than Sameer only Mundit know how he lost his mother and then the ban on cricket added further insult, causing him to get angry at her and her father... that bet was a knee jerk reaction to that ban, almost as if it was the last straw for Sameer... so the bet in itself was not a cold hearted calculated thing but some of his actions after he made the bet were... I think this is also a distinction Naina needs to make eventually... but I'm loving this show... they all show it like it is, good, bad and ugly.
I'm not sure what they will show... maybe by the time Naina reverts to her old self they will finish 11th... maybe there are many things that happen to show Sameer's path... at theendnaina needs a journey to her realization as well... maybe Sameer leaves and comes back after two years, maybe for Nanu and ends up going to the same college as her for the last yer... that should be a convenient time to talk marriage 😉 Don't know... let's wait and see.

Great analysis, Dixie, by you and the others who've responded to your post. 😊

I loved the episode, and am overall satisfied with almost everything. Ashi and Randeep - we got to see much more of their emotional side today as actors, and I think they nailed it. Especially Ashi - she really says her dialogues and emotes well. Randeep's diction can use some work, I feel like he can put more emphasis on certain words to make more of an impact, but he is outstanding in the emotional scenes - his crying is quite natural on screen, which is something even accomplished actors seem to struggle with, and so I really appreciate his efforts 👏.

One thing I would have liked to hear from Naina was how she was in love with Sameer way before he made the bet. I just thought Sameer should know how much she was into him before he made the effort to woo her. All those times she admired him from afar, her happiness when she realized she wasn't being transferred to the other school, her eagerness to help him study, the desperation of wanting to wish him luck for the cricket game, the sheer joy when she figured out his phone number - I just felt like Sameer needs to know all this! But I don't want to complain too much - the dialogues were written well, and Naina's breakdown made a huge impact.

I did kind of wish for a little more introspection from Sameer when he started speaking. I feel his confession was a bit rushed, but once again, the dialogues were good (definitely deep for a teenager! 😆). The scene with Munna and then with Nanaji were both bang on. Sameer's voiceover was again brilliant, and I loved how Naina's voiceover concluded the episode with Arjun finding out about the bet.

Looking forward to the rest of the week! 😊

Absolute a treat to read your post with the pics. It came alive again. It was a fabulous episode where everything worked in favour, be it dialog, acting, VO, direction etc.

I too felt the confession/realization rushed but I am glad they did it in one episode. Can't go thru the angst for several episodes! 😃

Eagerly waiting for the next part of the journey! 😳

Hey Dixie wonderful posting!

Hello Nivi..what a brilliant post! 😳
