The cheesiness honestly crossed all boundaries today. Like Aryan and Sanchi's dance sequence was literally cheesier than the most cheesiest pizza and sweeter than any Jalebi but you know what, I'll give it to them. It's all part of the initial stages of romance. The tingling feeling of love. The hyped excitement courtship brings along. They somehow still manage to make me feel all mushy inside. Maybe it's the innocence their love and relationship possesses. I say it again, they aren't like your attitude-clothed boyfriend and girlfriend. These two want to be each other best friends, companions and honest lovers.
I think what stood out to me in Sanchi and Aryan's little Skype moment was the way it was all conceptualised. Often in other shows, there usually is some fancy dinner and dance planned by the hero after he gifts his girl some attire. Yet here, the scenes flowed quite natural. The prompt and informal Skype date kept the scene from spilling into the boundaries of OTT-ness I think. And I'm so thankful for that. There was almost this common sense ideology present. That if he's gifted her a dress, of course she knew he'd want to see her in it and the way Sanchi's excitement to show Aryan the dress matched Aryan's excitement of wanting to see her in it, created a nice balance to the scene.
Can I just mention Priyanka is just genuinely such a sweetheart. I've been wanting to mention this about the show before too. Along with being a well-paced show, they manage to balance out the screenplay and interaction of different family members quite well. And I'm so glad that in the recent episodes, they have been unveiling the different layers and character depth Priyanka's character possess. On one side we admire the respectful and responsible daughter-in-law she is, yet at the same time the ways she unleashes the little child in her whilst she's with Aryan and Sanchi, definitely makes her more likeable.
The conversation amongst the Mittal's in regards to Sethia's self-respect was yet again heartening to watch. It's the power of such conversational scenes that embeds your trust as viewers, in these fictional characters. Scenes like that which are so true to their core of open communication, ensure the viewer is always on the progressive journey with them and has not been left behind somewhere.
Nilima, as we saw today, is not exactly cunning or shrewd. She is quite innocent and seems to possess this trait of spilling the beans in over-excitement and/or over-enthusiasm. A part of me appreciates that they've started to build up for the next complication, this early in the week rather than introducing it randomly during the maha-episode and then solving it in a jiffy. Today's scene where Nilima ended up blabbering the truth about the financial help, provider a sneek peak how she can get driven away in emotion by the mere instigation of outsiders. Hence, it lays out a strong base, true to her character, of how exactly she will give birth to the misconceptions in her mind later in the week.
Sanchi and Aryan's concluding scene was yet again such a great story progressor. Their relationship is opening up to different comfort levels nowadays. They way the care factor has increasingly started to surface. The emotional support system they have become of each other warms the heart. And yet, the cuteness factor their continuous leg-pulling brings along, always seems to add multiple layers of depth to the true definition of their bond. I admire the scene wasn't overpowered by some sort of lovey dovey food-feeding etc. Yet tomorrow they will carry out some heart to heart talk of their families, their future and their upcoming phase of life.
This show believes in talks and loads of it. That's all that matters here.
