Wow, that was something. Thank you Richa and her team for finally giving Nandu some tangible to base her reaction beyond her relationship and Manik.
I could set aside my hate for Pandit and FC fiasco but this was A-game.
PaNi has been killing it these days, I cannot they just are effing talented .
Pandit could have killed her because nothing comes above his own pride. Well .
Manik's raw anger at him, his pain for her. he would have killed Pandit had it not been for Cabir and others coming at the nick of the time.
But Nandu's reactions. OMG , thank you, this is what I needed . The only touch she has ever trusted is of Manik and to be violated of her personal space, the insinuations , the trauma of being locked in a closed room very reminiscent of her childhood had to affect her. Her numbing, zoning out the world, filching at the touch, yet not pushing Manik away. Niti, without saying anything stole it all.
Loved the happy family , Chacha and Chachi love these kids as their own. And to see them this excited was adorbs. This with fab5+Navya hiding Nandu, giving her space- Sigh this is long time coming.
I am so glad they finally told Chacha-Chachi the truth. Thank you for keeping it sane.
Loved Manik's helplessness, he just wanted to cry, but he had no idea- Nandu was beyond broken and that silence was so powerful. Parth was superb,he played off her numbness so well.
That shower scene - him helping her clean up , the way the ear bleed played out , the pain, his anger and his desperation to make it alll right for her. But that towel scene, all she wanted was them away from the harsh world. She couldn't help but dry him too. Sigh, they be love.
Also special mention for re-visiting Dhruv-Rishab equation.
Hate the new entry.
Precap- Harshad, well, Abhishek better work on his diction.
Now , for all the kidnapping silliness. They really have a chance to bring that element in Nandu- make her go through trauma, have her break-down, let her cry, numb , angry everything. While Manik should be supportive but keep some of her fights for herself. After all this while we have some tangible track to base her reaction. Just hope they build over it. Doubt she will look at music for sometime, setting up nicely for her own discovering of what she wants. Nice.
