Since you guys stopped enabling me, I have to numb my aching heart by EB-ing you so that I can get distracted. Sigh, life be such struggle. 😆
@Bold - I have watched that scene a lot of times now and total respect, they kept it flowing from on expression to another perfectly, not only they know their characters well but they always manage to play each other well.
I don't want to think about the FC mess, we wanted this whole point then but Kekta happened. See the fighter spirit is not about Nandu slapping , punching around but her never giving up attitude. She always used to find some way to strike back at her fears. it;s very internal , that for me made her special - because thats such a basic human trait. Survival . I never liked calling Nandu strong for that punch because you know I abhor the term, it's such a silly label but if that is to be used then it has to be for Nandu who whenever Manik threw a challenge would fight back- he gets her MO well, which is why only to him she is able to react like that. Be vulnerable and yet get her strength back. Pandit broke her confidence in herself-bit by bit. Manik's presence kept her from not breaking in but the moment she was away from him, the damage was done- psychologically as today the fb-ed showed , it was building from a long long point. Just Manik distracted her enough but now that everything is sorted, today at the classroom , it all came back.
LOL all this EBing works only with me cuz I fall for it. Every.single.time.🤔 BI's tough love on te other hand, sorts you out good😆
Kay.. let's aside the what ifs and could-have-beens.. so given that the flip didn't happen, this kidnapping track really was our best bet.. especially cuz it amplied Nandu's trauma and made it glaringly visible to the TRP audience and kinda sold them on her pain.. until then, most were hardly willing to even consider her as a victim.. they never would've empathized with her struggle without all this OTT drama.. so in that way, I'm looking at it as a necessary evil😕
Nandu's strength has always been an internal/mental thing and although the punches are lauded as IT moments by the viewers cuz they are visible depictions of it, these are not the defining moments for MaNan..
More than punch, it was that ManBir pool scene where Manik is sure she will return for her pen, inspite of knowing nothing about her, this was his first acknowledgement of her fighting spirit.. or all of the break times, when he has thrown down the gauntlet, knowing that she can never resist a challenge.. his moments of pride in her like when she stood up for Navya or when she faced down Nyo, this is her true "strength".. never letting circumstances get the better of her, never giving up on people or things.. Manik knows this so he stopped enabling her and pushed her to fight back instead.. just to remind her that if she doesn't give up on others then she owes herself the same courtesy too😳
Anyway, now that they have touched upon the issue of physical intimacy with MaNan I hope they continue to explore it even post Nandu's recovery.. cuz this is not just about the touch thing being corrupted by Pandit for her, but also I want to see her grow more confident in this aspect of their relationship.. so far, she has always followed Manik's lead on this point but I'd like to see her take a more active role in the future.. and by this I don't mean initiate intimacy, I mean voice her thoughts and fears on the subject.. her own perspective of it.. she has always shied away from actually talking about it even in the past, during the premarital sex debate.. I want to see her evolve as a woman here too.. this could also be like the next level for MaNan.. they are pretty much set on the emotional intimacy front.. I want to see them apply their communication skills and understanding of each other to tackle this issue too.. it is a factor all established/committed couples deal with at some point anyway.. I want the CVs to handle this just as realistically as all the previous stages of MaNan's growth in a relationship have been so far..
