Thanks Umajee for the WU š You gave a really nice and clear update.
I feel like I'm watching two different shows in one - the AnSh show and the rest of BV. So I'll comment accordingly.
AnSh: Adorable as usual. The way she was thoosofying kheer in his mouth was tooo sweet. š (Although if he just came from brushing his teeth, probably not a good idea). I guess the interruption had to happen, but I would've been a-okay with her confessing right then. It would've been sweet and simple, aur waise bhi nek kaam mein deri nahi karni chahiye. š When she was going "I love you, I love you, I love you" in her head. :') They're just so beautiful together. And they kept up the accuracy thing with Shiv's phone call "Ji sir, of course sir, no problem sir, you're welcome sir." - it used to annoy me a lot as a kid to hear my bureaucrat family members say 'sir' so many times on phone calls, so I appreciate that bit of realism.
But back to AnSh - Anandi's dithering was too cute. š And the complaining in her head 'meri man ki saare baate jaante hain. Hmph. Sab baate hi hai' - such a typical wifey. š And the way Shiv's eyes popped open when she said 'pyaar ho gaya!' at the same time his music started. š¤£ CV's did a fantastic job with that. Plus his cautiousness afterward. As Khusi ji said before - 'once bitten, twice shy' - he doesn't want to make any assumptions again, and they're doing a great job with consistency on that front.
And they very subtly did a Jaggubhai jalan scene when Anandi looks at Shiv with contentment and love after saying he'll be able to move on like she did, and he catches that look and uncomfortably gets up to go. š Definitely a variation on so many OS scenes - great job OS writers! āļø
Everything else: what a khichdi. š
Shanky's acting was awesome.
I fully approve of Jagdish's decision, because this whole thing where Gauri is painted as the sole villain, some kind of sorceress weaving her maya jaal is so false. She wasn't the one flirting with someone while being married to someone already. He was equally at fault. She even tried to leave him, but he hung on.
The entire scene at the Singhs' was preposterous. Why are they being characterized like this? Although on one hand, it is ironic, because although they've been doing Jaggubhai jaap ever since he confessed to a crime that he shouldn't have done in the first place (lol), they still don't have a single particle of faith in him that he won't turn colors again. But on the other hand, it's also so dumb that they think he's just some kid born yesterday who anyone can turn this way and that, so they want to tie him to his mother's pallu or something. Like he isn't responsible for himself.
I guess it makes sense that he turned out the way he did, since this family actively tries to prevent him from growing up and being a man. I guess it speaks volumes in favor of his character that he's trying to grow up and be a man even despite all that.
And Dadisa. Obviously she's the worst of all of them, and it's so frustrating for me to watch because I love her so much when she's nice. I think I'm seeing a pattern - any time there is a sweet scene with DS and AnSh/Anandi individually/Shiv individually, I'll expect a scene in the next episode with her having excessive moh for her one true laadesar. Which, btw, is as damaging to the laadesar as everyone else. The way she spoke to Anandi today. š² "Tu laake degi mhara ladesar mujhe?" After all Anandi has endured at his hands?
And when Bhairo said 'anjaane mein, lekin galti hui hai tujhse," I actually said the full form of "W*F" out loud, which I can honestly say I've never done watching BV before. š This entire family is really creepy sometimes. Good for Jagdish that he's doing what's right in spite of them.
