I’m awake because I’m sick so decided to watch the episode. Won’t give the usual detailed update but just some points!
Tags aren't working in the other thread, so posting here!!
Today's episode was full of symbolism!
Abhi is holding the letter + Neil takes it out of his hands/puts it on the table. He is going to play a part in reliving Abhira of this burden once again. He is going to help take the burden out of Abhi’s hands. It might even be unknowingly, as neither one of them knew what was in the letter. This letter is surely going to end up in the wrong hands + that is how cops will end up at mehendi.
I forwarded the final dance sequence because I couldn’t enjoy it with this kaand loading in the background.
The reason we have a new PI is obviously because the old one will come back with the actual truth in that the Goenka sisters didn’t do the accident. This new PI clearly told Abhi that this is just part of the footage — so the sisters had the accident at the same spot, but they didn’t hit Manjari. It is clear as day today.
The scene of Abhi finding out the “truth” and seeing both sisters dancing with Manjari was really powerful. He has flashbacks to Akshu telling him about her own accident and says “I cannot believe AKSHARA did this.” His perception of reality has been shaken to the core, and as he is running away, he sheds his pink overcoat… all that remains is his black outfit underneath. His insecurities have overclouded all of his love for Akshu in this moment. But, he stares angrily at his engagement ring, and yet does not take it off — he falls to the ground instead. Even in all of this anger, he cannot break his relationship with Akshu. He falls in that he thinks his trust has been broken, but his love for Akshu will always remain within him.
We get another scene of Neil completing Akshu’s thoughts when she gets scared as to why Abhi hasn’t returned. He says he knows the feeling of thinking happiness will be snatched away, but that won’t happen. Again, he will play a part in resolving all of this somehow!
Meanwhile back at the Goenkas Akshu is excited and wants to plan the wedding, etc. — which by the way is 2 days away — so these 2 days will be stretched for an entire month of more now. Aarohi says there is no need to be tense because reason is gone, and on the side, Akshu tells her that it is her guilt — she is so firm against Aarohi this time, and still upset with her.
Abhi does tandav, and for the first time, it is a result of every single insecurity that has built up until this point. Tandav symbolizes both destruction and rebirth, and after this, Abhira’s relationship is going to be reborn - namely from Abhi’s side. When he realizes what has happened and how he misunderstood Akshu, I think for the first time, he will get the security he has yearned for, as he will realize that Akshu went against Aarohi so fiercely — it is such a huge step forward for her. He is going to feel deeply bad for not trusting her.
At the end of the episode, he has flashbacks of her panic attack, Harsh’s words, everything…. These same panic attack flashbacks are going to come back when he realizes that she thought she had confessed…
While he is doing the tandav, Akshu is doing ghoomar around his cut out — more symbolism. She is living in a delusion right now — with a fake version of him. This scene really highlighted how their biggest problem is a lack of communication, and I’m glad that it is being resolved before marriage.
Precap I don’t think is a dream this time. Everything will be resolved on mehendi. Cops will come, kaand will happen, Abhi will realize he misunderstood Akshu, and we will end up getting happy parallels to last time.
Neither Abhi nor Akshu are wrong. Abhi is deeply impulsive and his insecurities have burst. He is going to regret mistrusting Akshu, but I feel his pain. Akshu has done nothing wrong this time, and I feel so so bad for her. Without communication, no relationship lasts. And this will be a huge lesson for both of them.
Shaadi is not breaking — I think Akshu misinterpreted a text in the precap. Even in his deepest anger, he will not break it.
