Gadda. Coming back with heaps of praises for the caliber of acting & directing in today's episode. 👍🏼🤗
If people want to see why ST's going places, they only need to watch this episode. What phenomenal performances by ST, Ritu ji, Chandresh ji & others. Shout out to the director as well - he showed us today why we stick on to the show despite suffering through unbearably torturous pranks. 😆
The episode was filler in terms of moving the plot forward but a couple things that stood out to me:
Aparna leaned on Imlie for comfort instead of her apparent favorite everything Malini. 😆 Imlie walked in, gave her the shoulder she needed to cry on and in those moments, we got a glimpse of the old days when their bond was arguably the strongest & most organically formed in the show. A vulnerable and distraught Aparna actually reminded me of a vulnerable and emotional Adi here - the way that Imlie stood as a pillar of strength when Adi broke down after his conversation with Nishant, her supporting and pacifying Aparna today was quite similar to that. She was breaking down herself, but her faith in Adi's promise carried her through and it lent her the strength she needed to pull herself together until the last scene.
PT in the last scene just stole my heart. He could've very easily flipped and blamed Imlie for SK's actions, but he stood by her and gave her the strength she'd given Aparna earlier. I can see where Adi's principles come from - like Adi, PT had made his own set of mistakes, judging Imlie by her background and using that as a jaded excuse not to accept her as his daughter-in law, but he owned up to them and genuinely learned from them. For me, today was PT's true redemption. 👍🏼 Serious father-in-law goals. 😳
Malini - Already ranted about her but pleej, pleej, pleej SM, let the mother-daughter get everything they deserve. 😡🤢 Adi should get to know the full truth and he should not be made to spare her one bit. Enough is enough! 🤬 #WeWantUnapologetic&UnforgivingAKTBack
Excited for the promo now. Hope it lives up to the hype
@Bold: That was a wonderfully done scene. Even though Imlie herself is broken, she still stood there to hold Aparna. Here were two women, distraught because of the unconditional love they have for Aditya. But Imlie has always been strong. She has never played the victim, never made herself look pitiful and life has always taught her to stand and deal. Her fate has never let her surrender. And I think somewhere Aparna also has started believing that Imlie's decisiveness and emotional connection is quite unwavering...In that scene we saw a rising new star and a seasoned star and how their talents collided to give a brilliant scene!
