You know what i love about this episode, the realization. Oh !!! Its gorgeous!
1. One thing I wish SAAKK has closed was lessons for betty. They are absolutely horrible people. While they had nothing to do with anokhi leaving, the entitlement is just hard to watch.
2. Anokhi loved that shaurya stood up for her, wish he had done that once for her and against betty when he had not realized that he was attracted to her.
3. SAAKK is all about nuances. When shaurya stood up for Anokhi, she beamed and when he looked at her, he smiled. Both did it without knowing that they are doing it. The small bubble they formed in the library, when he got cross that she called him sir and her immediate correction was so cute! The blushing and awkwardness, is too cute! Its slowly becoming evident that anokhi likes this attention, specially for her.
4. The realization was beautiful. It made me think what kind of misogynist is Shaurya? Sometimes I feel, its more of Tejvi's impact and his own insecurity of abandonment over his actual thought process. They way he starts with a 'intelligent honi chhaiye', because that is what happened right?, her mind impressed him, her courage and selflessness impressed him, her clarity of thought impressed him. And honestly i think she might have been the first person he apologized to from his heart. When shaurya realizes that it is Anokhi that he is describing as a partner, the shock, uncertanity and comfort and discomfort that his face expresses... ❤️❤️(kudos to KV!) He knows he has fallen for someone he never intended to.
5. I loved that Devi and Kanchan were totally opposite in this scene. Devi's shock and Kanchan;s excitement were hilarious! Later Tej's shock was fun to watch but again, Tejvi are such power couple. The way Tej knew that something was off with Devi...damn!!!
6. I LOVE the library scene. Shaurya is asking all the right questions. How can he have feelings for a student who studies in their college? How can he form such an attachment? How? I loved his anxiety and discomfort because straight up acceptance would feel very weird. He has to ask himself these questions. I honestly feel, if we had seen him fighting it a little more, it would have been better because Shaurya as a person would always chose the practical path and loving Anokhi was not.
7. The phonecall to Anokhi was again the same, when Shaurya gets anxious he displaces his emotions.
8. Anokhi liked that shaurya called. She liked it when he asked if she had settled in. She definitely liked feeling special. Is this out of the blue or she had always known she held special attention but only Reema made her realize that there could be more? When he fought with her, she pushed Reema away saying that it was all rubbish and she should have never given in to her nonsense. Here we see her anxiety regarding her own self. He is the well established, rich and handsome Shaurya Saberwal and she, she is just a small town student, Anokhi. This gives us a slight insight into her insecurity and that she wants this but does not want to get hurt.
9. the dreamy look on her face at the end, i liked it, gave a very college phase being in love for the first time vibe!
