I don't even know where to begin about the episode. It was just so heart-warming and filled me with all kinds of emotions-I went through Meera's exasperation as Abhi failed to understand why he had to be the one to help her realize, I went through Abhi's happiness as he finally realized his far fetched dream, as Meera found her way towards his heart as he'd hoped somewhere deep down she would, when he set her free. But before I can elaborate more about that, I have to say a few things that have been consuming my mind since the last couple of days whenever I log onto IF, where TB has one or the other article saying "xyz show breaks societal traditions" or "watch some abc show and see how the FL shines through" and all I could do it laugh at the sheer stupidity of it all.
You see, because our show NEVER boasted of such things, but instead SHOWED them in their own way. It started with the most cliched concept ever and the team elevated it to such a level that I am still left marveling- what could have possibly been attractive about a loud, obnoxious family finding the "perfect" dulhania for their only dutyful son? What could have been endearing about yet another bubbly-chirpy girl wanting to find her own happiness? And yet, with each episode I found myself saying "THIS is why the show has a class apart from other shows". It didn't have a rajshri productions to boast about how happy and merry the family members were and yet, you could tell in every episode that NO MATTER how much they fought, the Pants have such a deep-seeded adoration and love for each other. Neither did it promise us an intense love story...and yet, every new interaction of Abhi-Meera, every connection between them established their relationship and by the time they actually confessed their feelings for each other, the sheer comfort level with which they proceeded to the next level just showed how deep their bond already is. It didn't promise us comic relief and yet, the dialogues, incidences, situations made us laugh so whole-heartedly. Our FL might not be "educated" and "independent", but her presence of mind and her ability to uncannily speak the right thing at the right time made even her IAS educated family speechless, heck it even stumped Abhi- who is the personification of an educated and sorted ML. Our ML was not promised as a "passionate lover", yet, we can be sure when it comes to protecting Meera's dignity and self-respect, he will even go against his own beloved family.
Despite having every single reason to turn out bitter and ungrateful towards life and familial ties, both Abhi-Meera grew up to be such wonderful human beings, with their own set of beautiful flaws.
And yesterday's proposal reiterated this once again. All they want is to be happy and their happiness lies with each other...neither will they bow down to their families this time nor will they be so stubborn as to not care about their family's opinions. They will face it together, as a unit, their love being their biggest strength. Be it Abhi telling Amma ever so softly, yet, with such conviction that he only agreed to get married to Radhika because Meera didn't feel the same way, or Meera trying to explain to her family how she is genuinely, truly, happy this time. Despite all the drama, the obvious clashed of class and status, it was such a realistic take on how a couple manages to convince their families about their love. Have to mention here the random gossip aunties who stoo outside to enjoy the "show"... Who would even think about bringing in such a contrasting dimension to an otherwise melodramatic scene. I wish I could give massive hugs to the entire team- they are truly special.
When Meera went down on one knee and declared her ever-adorable and endearing love and proposed him, I echoed Babli's emotions and actually cried (thanks to PJ and ND for evoking that in me), because I felt every bit of the happiness in seeing Abhi get the much deserved adoration and unconditional love that he kept on spreading in his family and which had kept them all together all these years. When Abhi engulfed Meera protectively and caressed her head fondly and Babli finally declared her support for them both, I was giddy with emotions for Meera, because she finally got the much deserved appreciation for the kind of person she is and that khushi she had been yearning for, for all these years.
But my favorite moment has to be when the cousins formed a protective circle around their bhaiyya-bhabhi where nobody, not even the family members had an entry. They in a way stole my role, because I too, felt that the moment should be cocooned. That scene and that moment was so special, I cannot even begin to describe it.
The family drama then was inevitable: a clash of mindsets and prejudices, prahlad and amma can contest on who is the most ruthless, but I guess precap suggests Prahlad won. But Meera stole the show yet again when she gave a strong takkar to Madhu chachi- someone had long ago raised a doubt about HOW meera would be able to adjust amongst the Pants, I guess they got their answers yesterday. Meera is just like them, loud, impulsive, madcap...she fits with them perfectly, but won't take things lying down, rather, face them in her own way with her own charms. No wonder she is the cousins' 'superwomania'. She can be a kid with them and be more mature than most whenever required. Sigh, Meera jaisi sach mein koi nahi. She is even more special to me because I was so unimpressed by her in the first 3-4 epis, but then pata nahin kaise, without me even realising she started growing on me so much, Guess I would give ND the credit for most of this transformation 🤗
Yesterday's episode made me soo soo happy that I don't even care about the fact that the show is ending anymore. Will I be upset that I won't get to see Abhi-Meera and their attempts to handle the madcap Pants after marriage?--more than I can possibly even express. But then, I am happy we will get atleast a glimpse of their married life, something to cherish for and the rest is ofcourse left to our imagination.
Right now, I just want to give massive hugs to every single person who worked on the episode yesterday- starting with PJ, ND, ALL the actors, director, camera waale bhaiyya, creatives, dialogue-writer, editor and every other crew member ...
🤗
Tere jaise sona koi, kahin nahi hona koi!
