The first 10 minutes of the episode were absolutely Rayalicious! NM & DP are amazeballs...if it were not for the fact that they may not come together anytime soon, I would've given up on this show long back 😆 They don't need filmi songs, no heavy dialogues...just their expressions and body language. Masterclass in onscreen chemistry today! Oh..and Ram calls Priya Mumtaaz Mahal (hamesha wala pyaar??) and there's (what seems to me) an almost kiss 😆
Ram's convo with his dad's photo was touching..he was subconsciously talking about Priya to his dad like he were talking about a real life partner - definitely not a just a party to the contract.
Interruption in the form of Kriti, who completely misses the mood he's in and even says something flippantly about Shalini, making Ram snap at her. He's now physically uncomfortable in her presence, her constant attempts to come close starting to repel him. She almost let's slip about her cancelled contract while trying to push Ram to sign her for India Eatz's new campaign. Thanks to Shardul who steps in and helps Ram steer away from committing the project to her. Don't think Ram wanted to give her the job either, but he continues to have trouble in asserting himself - just like he couldn't stop her from going to KM on the pretext of "helping" Shalini.
Ram has a moment of reflection where he almost blurts out his change of feelings towards Priya in front of Shardul. It was a welcome dialogue - a small insight into what was going on in Ram's head. In S2, his falling out of love with Vedu and falling in love with Pri was never really delved into, so this was a nice bit.
Shalu and Priya have such a lovely bond and a very organic understanding of each other. Shalu talks about Sr.Kapoor and Priya just absorbs it all.
Then comes Kriti - so so infuriating. She was talking about the death ceremony like it was some kind of a party - hire caterers, sit back and relax and enjoy types. In her enthusiasm to impress Shalini, try to diminish Priya, she completely missed the emotion behind the whole ceremony. Shalini and Priya were clearly embarrassed on her behalf, tried hinting to her to stop, but she just went on and on..😡 It's clear no matter what happens to Ram-Priya and the contract, she doesn't have a place in KM - Shalini's so done with her already and Ram will be soon done too!
Precap: Shreya pretending to be a patient in emergency to drag Priya away from the ceremony. But we all know what's gonna happen to that plan 🤣
Pri's going to make it in the nick of time with Sr. Kapoor's favorite flowers and sweets and KriYa are ggoing to be left fuming again 🤣
Sorry for such a long post...don't know what came over me! 😆 As usual, while talking about RaYa I'm setting aside the Kriti factor. 😳
