Ep 5. Episode 5

Drum roll please, for episode 5 of Four More Shots Please!

Titled "Love is a 4-letter Word", episode 5 delves deep into the love lives of our four protagonists, Damini, Anjana, Umang, and Siddhi.

We see Damini (played by Sayani Gupta) navigating her complicated relationship with Jeh Wadia (played by Prateik Babbar), the heir to a publishing empire who also happens to be her boss. Their power dynamic and the judgmental eyes of society create a rocky road for their relationship, and this episode sees them confronting some of those challenges head-on.

Meanwhile, Anjana (played by Kirti Kulhari) finds herself caught up in a whirlwind romance with a charming doctor named Varun (played by Neil Bhoopalam). But with her past traumas still haunting her, Anjana finds it hard to trust and let go completely. We see her grappling with her fears and trying to figure out if Varun is really the one for her.

Umang (played by Bani J) isn't out of the love game either, as she falls for a beautiful dancer named Samara Kapoor (played by Lisa Ray). Amidst their passion and chemistry, we see Umang struggling with the societal norms that have made her feel ashamed of her sexual orientation in the past. The episode highlights the power of representation and the importance of acceptance and belonging.

Finally, Siddhi (played by Maanvi Gagroo) finds herself at a crossroads in her love life as well. With her long-time crush setting her up on a date, she finds herself surprised and intrigued by a man who isn't at all her usual type. We see her questioning her assumptions and expanding her horizons, while also dealing with her mother's expectations of what love and marriage should look like.

Through all these storylines, episode 5 weaves a complex and nuanced exploration of love, relationships, and what it means to be true to oneself. With its captivating performances, sharp writing, and beautiful cinematography, Four More Shots Please! continues to be a must-watch for anyone interested in diverse, feminist storytelling.
