Thanks for the update sunshine! Wanted to watch the episode early morning but had to finish lots of chores first.. Then the absolutely essential sequel to watching the epi is reading all the great stuff, observations, analysis, drool, tharak you peeps write here.. Thank you all for this. ❤️
It was a beautiful episode. Completely satisfying. "serene and liberating".. I couldn't help liking vanraj here just as much as I've hated him before. Yes he is the most complex character in the show. And SP has not been plugged for this role for nothing. RS is almost always perfect with his casting I think. The whole sequence of anu and vanraj was sooo tragic. It was like living through their entire marriage again. The pain, the tyag, the waste and the spoils of that marriage.. a quarter century.. Not a small period. And they did have some good moments too. There was a lot of love in that marriage bcz of anu ofcourse, but also some investment from vanraj as well under complex motivations of his complex character..I couldn't help but feel for him. And even anu, it wouldn't be easy for her, being the sanskaari kind of woman she is to fold up and keep away all those years of marriage. Her holding v's hand when he was leaving was symbolic. Seeing the entire sequence of scenes today, vanraj's kiss was not at all disgusting but felt just right to me. It showed a beautiful and complex emotion.
"When a bitter person finds his peace, there is something sincere about that moment. I dont know but I felt I sensed a freshness and happiness at shah housw today. It was like the darkness has been dispelled by the light called Anuj. Anjaane me hi sahi but he brought them together."
These words are so apt.. Shah house was a place one would want to be in today.. Loved the family moments, toshu and samar hugging, everybody keeping the night vigil for anuj..and the relief like a storm letting up in the morning when they know anuj is fine.
The maan song sequence was perfect. I don't want to describe it even, I am so speechless.
Thank God no kavya today. It was an episode entirely of light, no dark patches anywhere.
Notice how the madam of few days back has become 'haan bolo malvika' for vanraj? They have obviously become quite close very fast..
And and... Gaurav's bday celebration on set...everyone present and all decked up in formals, especially gk and rg.. What could they be shooting? Could it be maan engagement or am I mad?
