The one emotion that stood out of the episode for me was a tender pulling of my heartstrings for Abhi...sigh the guy is falling deeper and deeper, he knows it, loves it coz it's his first, is resigned towards the fact that her rishta is somewhere else, yet,cannot help but hope a little- until that dream is slightly broken today, with meera pushing him towards marriage...don't think he genuinely believes her funda, it is more like he has now realized how complicated it might be betwn the two of them with his fight, the whole family watching on, pant bhavan homestay ki reputation on line etc etc, all this has probably culminated in this decision. Plus, if Meera is so adamant that he cannot like her, how can he even begin to get through to her about this? Still, it's interesting how his thoughts (till now) have never once gotten to class, status etc...coz for him, it's just Meera- his failure pahad. The bits in the bedroom where Abhi is smelling his shirt, searching for the remnants of her scent was heartbreakingly beautiful...sigh
And i just cannot get angry at meera, no matter how clueless or oblivious she seems. Be it Namita's acting or something else, i just tend to accept her the way she is...she was always gonna be a plot device, sadly...infact initial epis mein (1-6) I couldn't even like her so much- but now she is soo endearing to me that i can look beyond all and every of her flaws (be it in writing or otherwise).. .he shaadi funda is disturbing, but her tiny scene with riya explains the thought process behind that... where riya scolds her accusing her to think of others atleast sometimes and momentarily meera is upset and angry with riya coz she knows she is doing it ONLY for her family...and first time i saw her getting genuinely angry at her family btw- it was a tiny moment, don't know if it was deliberate or just a random quirk to her character but it was visible...until now the only emotions with regards to her family be guilt tripping about hurting them...but then, as soon as riya starts tickling her she forgets all her anger -you see, uske liye all emotions are linked to family only, in this aspect both of them are similar, only Abhi is the star of his family while meera is the blacksheep of hers. For me, anything she does until now can be justified by this thought process- a girl who has been made to believe that she is absolutely worthless in comparison to her successful elder sister since a very young age, imagine uski mentality pe kya asar hoga...so if there is one thing that is assured to make her family happy about her, she will plunge head-on in it...aise mein, it is upto family to realise where she is going wrong, to assure her that if she isn't happy they won't be too..abt riya,i said this in cinderella waala epi thread too, her being an IAS and yet appearing so meek in front of the guys at the party is highly disturbing...makes me wonder if she too, became an IAS just to not disappoint her parents? Her servile nature towards sanjay, luckily for her sanjay is a decent and kind-hearted guy, but Aman isn't... Hope this drunken incident makes her realize this and she stops forcing Meera ..
@Anu and Genie: WORD abt them giving barfi waale innocent vibes...and "kyon" song is what i think of them too, had this feeling since long- half a mind to make a VM on that,if only time permits...sigh. The reason is that Meera has remained positive despite it all, just like Abhi hasn't turned into an angsty person despite having so much stress about family...this is exactly why these two are so endearing and have that naivety to them- they had reasons to turn out worse, but they didn't, coz of their inherent good nature. They genuinely adore and respect each other the way they are: for abhi, meera is someone jiske saath mein he has no responsibility to be perfect, he can be goofy and make mistakes, for meera: abhi is someone who genuinely, with his warmth, brings out the deeply buried self-respect within her.
Meera does live in her own world, it's interesting because normally such ppl are selfish, but meera just appears to have alag funde in life...and somehow, Abhi gets them all. Also, Rohan was right all along, him and Meera are similar, both highly misunderstood and having an inherently different (I refrain from using the word abnormal here) human behavior and characteristics..which is WHY i wanted some more Abhi-Rohan-Meera, you guys have no idea how much it pains me that we aren't getting it.. :( But I guess, radhika-aman is a more dramatic plot point to propell abhi-meera towards shaadi...and again, the convoluted track making sense only coz of PJ-ND portrayal of Abhi-Meera.
Aman is one creepy guy, but I'm not surprised at his nerve and disgusting behavior, seen many like him...but Abhi, yaar...such restraint during the last scene, he jumped in ONLY when things get out of hand, uske pehle he lets meera handle it..this is what sets him apart again and again from other MLs. And the scene in the bedroom too, with radhika and then at the door, where he convinces her that it's not her fault... So much love and grace he is!
Yogi bear better be negative, there is no way he can be positive with the way they have shown things until now.
