Hi!, This is my delayed appreciation for past two episodes. But I am writing it to share my thoughts and show how thrilled and relieved I am to see Mukhi back into his character graph! I feel that if I have a right to voice my disappointment over killing uniqueness of Mukhi's character during confession episode through my post, then it is also my duty to appreciate them when they do superbly fantastic work.π€
Now, about Aru's outburst on Mukhi thinking he is trying to become cozy. That scene was so perfectly executed. Aru's inhibition and fears were so evident and justified.π After all, she is only 22 years old.π³ Her perception of love is romantic. That is why we always see a free expression of her feelings. She does not limit herself in showing what she feels. Her confession was her love. Her inhibition was also her love. It is not that she does not understand the physical aspect of marriage. Aru is well aware of this and at one point she enjoys also thinking Mukhiji is a little eager. but like girls think, physical aspect is not the first thing that comes in mind when you are in love. For girls of her age, Love is discovering each other through fondness, togetherness, attachment, friendship, long talks, simple chats, dreamy afternoons and sleepy nights. Intimacy comes after all such discoveries and revelations. But what she was assuming was going contrary for her idea of romance. In such confused and shocked state her outburst was inevitable. I kind of like it very much. Beautifully executed emotions.π³
Now the best part was Mukhi's reaction. (Much to what I was expecting and hoping that the Creatives' would show) So, here is what I found so amazing π€
Mukhiji bewilderment on Aru's assumptions: I was so thrilled to see Mukhi back with his subtle wittiness. He was amazed and amused at the same time. Amazed to know How Aru is fighting back over nothing. And amused to see what she must be imagining. So he stops Aru and calms her down and tells that he will wait for he approval. Well, this concept we have seen in many movies and shows so what was so new and different that touched our heart? I'll explain the unseen. Usually in such wait for you' scenes we see awkward moments between protagonists, but here after Mukhi not only laughs at the situation but also goes forward to pacify Aru. Aru's reaction does not irritate him but her innocent fight made her more adorable to him.π³ We usually see hero consciously keeping a distance but here Mukhiji holds his beloved wife close and sits near her feet on the ground holding her hand and beholding her face. Loving he explains her the status of their relationship. Loved the way he said tuje kya muje bhi mushkil hogi... His approach was not just friendly but like a true husband he was adoring his wife while assuring her that fears are not childish and she should feel safe with him. Without any guilt he expressed his love for her and not only that he is so sure that one day they'll be best friends also. Well! I think they are best friends. Because to only your most trusted friend Aru could speak of her resistance so frankly. But it was so good to see them growing step by step. Usually in such scenes we see couple awkwardly separating and going towards their poles but here the cheery on the cake was the last part where Mukhi at his wit best when he teased Aru, "ab light band kar doon.. and finally when they sleep, thankfully they chose the same bed with no pillow line in between. This is the beauty of their relationship and that's what took the whole concept of "waiting till you says so to a pinnacle.π³
The next episode was all about Aru's sacrifice for Mukhi and Mukhi's care for Aru's dream. So happy to see Mukhi back with soulful, sensitive and sensible talks. Aru as usually freely expressed her pain and Mukhi as usual hiding his behind his sensibility. Again the execution was perfect because we have two very talented actors putting their soul in to the characters. Hat's off to both.π
Now, the parts that we see for the upcoming episodes, the bhang peena and the dori bandhana scene. The concept of tying knot of blouse is so over exploited in shows that it has lost its charm. But I have that with their acting skills and persona both Eijaz and Niyati will take it to a new level and put some novelty in it.
Seeing a talli Aru and moreover a talli Ramni behan would be more interesting.π
