Good drama in today's epi I felt....after many days, the narrative had some flow beyond just one person doing bhaashanbaazi.
They showed some continuity both on the angle of Abhira angst as well as this Parth family drama brewing.
Ak is still mad at Abhi....lol but she is now giving woh roothi hui biwi who likes to khaao bhaav vibes more than the spiteful bitter version she generally is
. The difference is that now she keeps glancing over at him on her own even while being angry at him
.....silent treatment is on otherwise but she will still come to save him and then disappear. I'm glad though that Abhi explained to her that he got scared and flustered seeing her in danger, that is why he blurted out about 6 years ago and it wasn't any intention to taunt.
Then the Birla family drama....full court press after many days....lol they all got dialogues rather than being made to stand like statues in the background of Goenkas ka faltu drama
. The actor playing Parth has been shortchanged by the story in many ways but he still gave a lot of shades to his character in today's drama....it didn't come across as a one note black character that they'd made him in the whole wife beater phase....today he was able to show hints of the old Parth who used to have a vulnerable side that felt suffocated by his parents berating him and his wife constantly demeaning him. When he talked about feeling suffocated in this house and family - it showed how trapped he is feeling. Yes it's ironic that his mom mostly supported him through his greatest fall as a character in terms of the domestic abuse on Shefali and now she's ironically against him for a professional related matter....lol.....and Shefali who is otherwise such a Mother Teresa with Manju and Abhi instantly transforms into a shrew berating Parth as good for nothing professionally....lol dunno if writers are trying to bring back original characterizations after the last 8 months of mess but today's Birla family scene did give those vibes.
HC and Ami were really good in this scene too.....even the actress playing Mahima seemed interested and involved in her scenes after many days of making bored faces
The the last half with the dahi handi scenes.....lol Ak is technically still giving the silent treatment to Abhi but can't help but jump in to do girls v/s boys banter with him....lol waise gotta love how quickly the Birlas and Goenkas are able to switch gears after such heavy family discussions....sab dahi handi ke liye ekdum happy mode mein aa gaye....lol
I guess they are dragging out Ak's silent treatment of Abhi on this matter cuz the ice will break after whatever happens in this fire drama.
