If there is one thing that SAAKK has been consistently getting right it is the portrayal of Shaurya's pain. I loved that he had this conversation with Anokhi. He found it in him to open up about his pain with her. That's some real progress for me in the relationship.
Just him describing his yearning for his mother and feeling stuck between his mom-dad's issues was heartbreaking. I liked that he told Anokhi that his attempt to reconcile with Aastha was not a very honest one. Absent parents can really leave emotional scars on their children.
KV does pain so well. Don't get me wrong he is great in most scenes but somehow pain and hurt I feel are his strong suits. He expresses it so well even without dialogues (TBT to him watching the mother-son)
Another thing I loved about the episode was the TUM part. I loved that it came after an emotional, honest conversation. I know it might not have worked for many of you but I saw it as Shaurya finally finding someone to open up to. Him letting Anokhi in. So beautifully done. ❤️
