Let me start with saying that there is nothing more impactful than bringing back the same scene to show how far the leads have travelled in their personal equation.
Go back 3 months, we had a Mishti crying about her family, about her parents abandoning her and we had an Abir hiding behind the clothes rack, yet comforting her with his words. Discreetly handing her his hanky, he told her it's okay to cry. They were strangers then, so she immediately stopped crying when she knew there was someone else, she didn't want to be vulnerable.
Come back to today, and we have a Mishti who broke down with the self guilt she has, about everyone taunting her for taking what is due to kuhu, about Meenakshi taunting her about coming from a broken family - and the minute she sees Abir she runs into his arms.
He engulfs her in his arms, feeling her pain, telling her once more that it's okay to cry. That she doesn't need to feel responsible for everyone's happiness all the time. And Mishti let's herself be soothed by his words, by his embrace. He is not just her friend. He is her anchor, her solid ground, her constant.
It's remarkable how same yet how different these two scenes were!! Take a bow, the entire team!! The writers gave us a gem today.
Shaheer sheik and Rhea Sharma nailed this scene as usual.
