The angst! They’re all nailing it, I mean Harshad’s performance made me tear up and I love that we’re seeing more sides of Mahima and Anand - more human sides. The makers have spent so much time white-washing Aarohi that they forgot to make the other characters three-dimensional and this is such a good opportunity.
Kairav baby, I’m sorry. Not only did you lose two mothers but you lost your first love the same way you lost Naira. That trauma is indescribable and I cannot feel for you enough. Mayank, I admire your performance and the respect you’re giving to Kairav’s character in this arc.
Akshara, after marriage we’ve seen you stand taller than ever before and this is an example. Whether it be Abhi-Aarohi or Abhi-Kairav, you’ve sided and protected the truth without hesitance (supporting Abhi and Kairav respectively). You were always a strong character but now, I can say confidently that you’re a clear individual - your vision isn’t clouded by emotions anymore. The scene where Abhi was going to punch Kairav was executed so well by all three! Applaudable performance.
