It's been a while since I have watched any ITV shows, but I thought of giving this a try after watching the promos.
I was waiting for the show to pick up speed during the wedding track so that we start getting more Sachin-Sayali scenes. And Sachin's phone call today was a really delightful, sweet, and refreshing scene. Though Sachin was forced by his father to call her and most of it was laced with humor, it was an extremely tender moment. The way his tone slightly shifted when he asked, "Wrong number hai toh shaadi kyu kiya?", to Sayali softening realizing who was on the call, her easing into the conversation, getting excited to talk more, only to be disheartened when he abruptly cuts the call---all of it was very earnest. Awkward, yes. But earnest!
I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but having seen my fair share of ITV forced wedding scenarios, I'm delightfully suprised by the lightness and the relative lack of "dramatics" in the post-wedding Sachin-Sayali dynamic we have seen so far. I don't know what happens in the original, and I don't want to jump the gun either, but Sayali's demeanor during the call--- her easing in and her openness to engage in that conversation with him---makes me hope that, unlike the ITV clichΓ©s, she wouldn't completely write him off from the get-go. A girl can only hope! π₯²
