Great post! Completely agree with you. None can be blamed but circumstance.
Yup, we've all been in situations were we try to hide the truth so that we dont get punished... at least I have done it! š Duggu can be blamed, but like you said it was a childish thing to do. He was not honest at the beginning... but it was good to see him confess rather than keeping quiet till things got worsened.
Varsha's reactions are completely understandable and it was predictable. I just hope things dont go too further between Akshara and Varsha, like it did last time! But theres always Naitik who would make everything perfect! š³
Emotions were just beautifully shown as always! Ananya's reactions were so natural it actually brought tears to my eyes and I just felt for her. Duggu was as brilliant as always (TBH he is showing signs of a brilliant actor in the making) Naksh, I just dont have words for them that 'almost slap' scene! It was too good. Akshara's concern for Ananya, blaming herself for the situation, reaction when she saw Varsha and the way she was questioning Duggu... šš¼
Dadi, Shaurya and Varsha were also sooo good. Dadi's emotions were completely understandable and it was not too much or too little! But I think Varsha topped it all... especially in the precap!
For once Gayathri had a dialogue which really touched me. When Naitik asked her how she knows everything, she said that she understood everything when he coudnt speak a word and now!!! Nice to hear something else, especially something lovely coming from her šš
