@ FLGator,
This is what I was looking for that other day, when spoke about professional touch. They are almost perfect. The young parents' deepest grief- their helplessness- their HEARTWRENCHING reaching out to each other- the episode has assumed a classic touch. A congealed grief-loss made real on the small screen...I've read somewhere, Akshara's initial refusal was strange/distrustful...Not so, I felt it was pure and simple refusal to take the news- a cry of denial. Hina's expressions were just perfect. Naitik's subdued tone, all through out the episode - tender and weak attempts to hold on was also just perfect. He was evoking similar empathy as grieving mother. The young couple touched the heart...Just as you said, the heart goes out to those who had faced such sadness...
The S. family behaved dignified and Maheshwaris' incongruity is quickly overlooked...Whoever is the current director, he is doing a fab job. He surely knows how to draw out the better from his recourses.
Some of the highlights for me were
The background score, along with two melodramatic wails were effective...
Naithik slowly gathering all the baby stuff; sach mein Akshara is one lucky girl👏 Naithik is a keeper, an extra special januable Munnalicious hubby...😍 Crying when Rajsri called; her endless bhak bhak evoked such deep emotions, Naithik grabbing the phone & then comforting her...Thank you Rajsri for the bhak bhak; Rajsri/ Varsha/Dadi ki sab gunah maaf coz the scene that resulted from the call seedhe dil tak pahuncha...👏The crying & the pain was so realHina was the star today & Karan did a superb job as a supportive & caring husband👏 Singhania's were not up to the mark but barely grabbed any screen space, so it doesn't count😆 Oops! That was the entire episode...😆 Kya karo episode tha hi aisa...👏
