10/9 - Epi 338 ... Di-rama over, Precap holds promise :)

Monday 10th September

So Anjali gets going full throttle on her fasting nautanki ... boy oh boy, a frail Mahatma Gandhi at age 70 plus was able to fast for days on end before collapsing, our delicate doll manages one night ... considering she stuffed herself just the night before, and next morning she refuses to eat and goes into shock. Just twelve hours of fasting does that to her? Makes me wonder how many meals a day she was eating at her brother's expense ... no wonder Shyamji is bloating away from her, she probably ate his share as well! :))
Am feeling mean today :))
Di's tantrums about not eating reminded me of my daughter at age two ... as far as I remember, I tried to feed her then gave up on the premise that when she's hungry, she will eat ... unfortunately RMvasis don't believe in that adage ... neither do they see the nurse hanging around ... arey bhai, give her a sedative and hook her up to an IV glucose bottle, apne aap theek ho jayegi! Better still put in an NG tube ... the discomfort of that might make her forget her fasting tactics in a hurry!

Anyway, Khushi has had enough ... I don't blame her! Call the Creepwa and give the Baby her rattle! Besides, Khushi is the only one to brave Arnav's wrath ... the rest are just standing around helplessly. Although it would have been smarter of Khushi to call the doctor when she couldn't reach Arnav and ask her to get the nurse to knock Anjali out and then give her a drip ... that would have kept Anjali quiet as well ... *sigh* missed opportunities!!!

Shyam's hoping for someone to beg him to return ... don't think Khushi did exactly that :) ... but whatever. And Arnav is totally justified in getting annoyed with Khushi, but then he wasn't doing much to help either ... and when he sees Di going all gooey-eyed over the return of her Shyamji, all he can do is stare helplessly ... arey bhai, if you're so angry, then yell at Shyam and throw him out in front of your precious Di, and tell her to her face why you don't believe him! Bolti band in front of Di as always ... when will this guy grow up?! You threw him out once, throw him out again! But of course he can't, not when Darling Di is cupping his face and saying 'thank you' for restoring her world, her life to her ... and here he was thinking Di is over the creep and learning to move on. Rude shock for poor Arnav ... did he have NO idea of what his Di was feeling?! Wait, he did ... she asked for her favorite toy back a day ago, big brother said no ...
SN - but I love him anyway! ;)  

Was glad that Khushi redeemed herself slightly ... she tried to call Arnav before she took the decision, and it was all about Di and her deteriorating condition for her, not about giving Shyam another chance ... small mercies.
Was also glad that Nani said in front of Arnav that Di was collapsing and recovered miraculously on seeing Shyam ... will that ring bells in his mind that it was not just Shyam who was playing tricks? Don't think so ... Saint Di cannot sin ... but at least he has heard that Anjali was (apparently) in very bad shape and that was why Khushi took this step.

And loved the precap ... an Arshi fight is on! And a very private, very husband-wife type of fight ... though it won't stay private for too long, am guessing.
Wonder what Dadi's reaction will be at Khushi being the one to bell the cat and get Shyam back ... I think the rest of the family will be relieved that Anjali is recovering, and will agree with her decision with varying degrees of enthusiasm/reluctance. Which will probably be a factor in continuing with the wedding ...

    1. I hope he tells her after how much he hates Shyam, after what he did to you, to US?

      DB was very bad today wasn;t she?

    3. Shwetha : me never liked DB, esp after her interview stunt.....

      i want her to tell him , that anyways Shyam was sneaking around and meeting Anjali, so let him come here saamne se, atleast hum sab ki nazar toh rahegi....but we all know that wont happen....ASR wont hear anything now.....he is so angry...

      she broke his trust.....now when the garima angle comes out, the drift is gonna widen further....

      why do i feel that this marriage will again be a hate wedding, where he will marry her and not love her, same way he feels his father did to his mother because of Garima....

      i just hope they wont show him having an extra marital affair just to torture Khushi.....thinking this way cause Ekta camp writer is here naa......hope Gul atleast keep the extra marital thing out of Arshi story...any amount of hate i can tolerate....but not an ETA

    4. geetu, i want a big fat arhi confrontation tomorrow.. where she gives as much as she gets (old guest-house-wala fight.. ) push comes to shove, ends in a kiss..

      but of course, this is SP :D
      so she manages to explain to him that di's mental health is more important than his hate :)

      Delete
    5. Kya...push shove...this Khushi has lost all fire....i am so angry......usually i care two hoots for any character going haywire....i just stop watching the serial (my rope is usually 30 episodes strong) this is the first time, i am getting angry but not able to just say..end of story.....i guess having invested emotions in to these fictional characters....its diffi.....chalo...lets see whats in store.....and most importantly, i love the bak-bak here in R&R

      Delete
    6. thats what i said rekhs.. she will explain in all wisdom of the SP bahu, that hubby, you're being an idiot, your di wont ever be sane without getting exactly what she wants. its not about you, its about your sis right now, so put aside your hate and at least act like you are happy for her..

      all with big doe eyes brimming and poor hubby will accept like the SP damaad he is :D

      Delete
    7. SP damad seriously....idiot bana diya usko....siberia se kabhi vapas nahin ayega uska dimag....par bas let him shout properly tommo...i have now choti choti asha....no bade sapne for this serial...living day to day

    8. Jaya, what u wrote, wont happen...he will sunofy and leave...and khushi will shed some tears, thats it...

      but, what u wrote will be shown to him, how happy anji is etc etc....

      Rekha : have the same grouch against Gul mata....the characters she created have touched our hearts so deep that cant just say end of story :(

      Delete
    9. geetu, whatever i write with respect to the future are my personal hopes.. not predictions :D

      but if he shouts at her and leaves for another midnight drive( cut-paste that old SUV scene for the umpteenth time) i really hope he has flashbacks of anji crying for shyam, and then anji saying thankyou, and come to the realization that in the end, his half-wife did a good thing.. or maybe nani will come and say something about how anji is stable now, thank you or something..

      Delete
    10. Jaya...oh, that way...hmm...i understand.....

      the shout and midnight drive part might come true...nani already said that anji being saved part....if he sunofys Khushi, which i want him to....and she runs off crying, nani will defo talk to him.........

      i really want him to ask her, that does she remember tht the creep tried to kill him and her, and what will she do, if he succeeds this time...kill him and maybe later try bumping off anji too, is that waht she wants..... let her feel the hurt a bit, i won't feel bad this time....

      Delete
    11. If she justifies herself, can I say that will be the worst moment....ever.

      I actually wanted her to get scared about her safety, his safety and tell him...they will manage somehow....*SIGH*

  2. Song dedication for the following:

    ANJALI

    tauba tera snakewa
    tauba tera pyaar
    Anjali tera emotional atyachar

    GARIMA, DADI

    Luka chupi yun na khelo
    Saamnay aa jaao

    AKASH

    Mainay kahan writers say
    Dialogues do toh woh
    Khilkhilay kay has diye

    Mainay poocha main show main kyon hoon
    Bhai meray bhai
    Twitter may PR Kay liye

    ARNAV

    Choomantar aaja kay sab yeh gaayen
    Choomantar iska dimaag kyon ho jaaye
    Gul hai kahan, Uski lagayen watt zara
    o re ore ore

    KHUSHI

    *head desk head desk head desk* with full orchestra

    Faltu questions:

    Was Shyam wearing Akash's shirt?
    How did Khushi know where shyam was living?

    My daughter and I were sick of studying, hubby comes home early and asks you are not watching your show? Daughter runs and switches on the tv, see amma, your show.

    We both welcomed the break acutally, lol.

    1. I think Khushi realized that with Arnav full on "Di is sooo sad" 24/7, no way she was going to get her wedding ... isse achha get the Creepwa back, make Di happy, Arnav remembers he has a fiance and a wedding waiting for him, they get married, and then they can throw Creepwa back out ...
      Or better still, throw him and his Moaning Myrtle both out ... tell Anji she loves her hubby so much she needs to go to his house ... patni ka asli ghar uska sasural hota hai and all that jazz.

      But I am happy ... precap says Arshi fight ... yippee!!! Fight when they both know they love each other will be fun ... the pyaar was getting a bit too much!

    5. Shwetha,
      ROFL - you rock:)

      Audience singing...

      Gul mohar Gul tumhara naam hota,
      Batti gul karna tumhara kaam hota

      Reminds me of the song from Chaalbaaz

      Bitwa's shatir dimaag singing

      Socha tha kya,
      kya ho gaya,
      Kya ho gaya
      Dhundho mujhe ,
      main kahi kho gaya

      Bitiya's brain responding telepathically

      Main bhi kahin kho gayi
      Chutti ho gai

      And mera dimaag singing

      Chutti ho gai ,
      Seeti baj gayi ...

      Chalo IPK se meri chutti ho gayi ...In characters ko hajam karke muft ki acdity aur BP lene ke behatar hai aadha ghanta save ho jayega.. Will follow R&R and tune in if and when redemption happens:)

    6. Me in the same boat, BG ... will watch and see if they can regain the same magic ... am not so disturbed today because Friday was such major satyanash that I disconnected ... let's see if IPK and Arshi manages to get that connection back when the focus shifts back to them, which it should now that VLR is back.

      Delete
    7. Dia,
      Ab bahut mushkil hai woh magic build karna..

      There were two routes to that magic they could have -
      1.ARhi United in conflict against the rest of the family
      2.Arhi in conflict with each other

      The first they decided not to take.

      The second they took but it is lukewarm - for a conflict to create that magic again the friction has to be bad enough to hurt... but they are going the sappy way of hume karna pada and now Arnav sulking ..it is too passive to generate the tempo...if they are planning to start with this and end with Garima-dadi issue - I doubt if they can keep the interest..

      To me what Khushi did to Arnav is unacceptable - I have been a strong Khushi supporter from the first episode but this is just crazy - she talks about bharosa but breaks it willy nilly...

      Actually you know what, may be that's what is needed to get that spark back- ASR losing it and asking "tumhen kyon itni jaldi padi hai Shyam ko laane ki " and distancing himself..that should snap her out of la la land

      While it is difficult for us to think of it after all the trust building , she is the one breaking it now -that should make our madam wake up to the damage she has done,just who she is bringing back , make her extra careful of how she acts around Shyam and also make her realise what it means to be the ardhangini - you do not take unilateral decisions on crucial things like this ..

      Delete
    8. Sri..am with u on this....becos somehow nothing makes it ok for me...But the only positive (if u can it that) in a way, the trust business gets eroded in some form for the next wave of conflict...

      Delete
  3. Watched only the last 4 mins of the show....us se zyada bear nahin kar sakthe baby drama, U idiotic RM vasis, if u pamper someone like this, u will spend all ur old age dancing attendance on 30 something year old babies, serves u right nani....no sympathy for u today.....
    No sympathy for ASR today, as u sow so shall u reap, u have sowed a drama queen, what else can u expect?

    Khaya peeya kuch nahin glass toda bara anna.....Anji thanks Arnav for all the trouble(totally self-invited) that Khushi takes..

    How does Khuhsi have Shyam's address...or isince this J's dept...i will refrain from pointing bloopers...i don't do them well...

  4. shwetha, that means devi maiyya ne hamari sun lee. see, even your daughter wants you to see IPK :D
    faltu q's answers.. shyam used to wear akash style shirts before, too.. though i think this one is new.. KP has beefed up while away from RM :)

    i vaguely remember arnav taking khushi to shyam's house last rakhi day.. when di went missing? yes? no? or maybe she asked devi maiyya. (it would have made much more sense if she had just called his phone :D)

  5. I felt like smashing Anjali's head against the wall.
    When a stubborn patient refuses to take an oral diet, he/she is put on a drip. Just sedate her and inject a few bottles of saline/ glucose or whatever...:P and spare us the agony of everyone towing in line to feed her.
    I do not appreciate Khushi's initiative at all. I am sure she keeps Arnav above Anjali...then why ignoring his intent and instructions in order to help Anjali? *Head Desk*
    Sorry but I felt like slapping her!!
    I can understand how helpless Arnav must be feeling when we also feel the same way. KD ne jaise kaala jadoo kar diya hai creepali par.
    Ok...one positivity I can see in today's epi. We had too much of sugary and sweet Arhi episodes...now intensity comes back between the two with Khushi manaofying Arnav...and I love gussail Arnav!

    1. anjali is already feeling woozy, why add a wil.E coyote anvil on her head?
      in case you did not notice, anjali was already on an IV when the whole family was taking turns feeding her the last few days..and giving big fat sighs when she consented to eat a nivala of prasad..i mean how dumb can a tv director be? oh... sorry. his job is not GK, his job is serial shooting. get it. shut upping now.

    4. Yes, thank God, for being no more witness to those "romantic" hidden meetings. They were an absolute torture.

      Jaya, I did notice the IV stand and the bandage taped on her hands but there was no connection between the two...sirf dikhawa tha.

      I swear, Anjali is a damn lucky person. She is the centre of attraction for everybody in the house. Sab ki duniya bas anjali par hi khatam hoti hai.

      Delete
  6. Ok, CVs... you have anjali back with shyam, now can we PLEASE continue with our ArHi story?? IF there is ANY left to be told??

    Garima-dadi.. please get a grip!! Itna toh lovers bhi luka chupi khele nahi honge kisi show mein! hadd hai yaar!!

    Payal...she was SO disinterested in the scene where she is with dadi in anjali's room...can literally see deepali counting her days in the show now.. :) and cam't believe the CVs are still not decent enough to give her a nice farewell if she is indeed leaving.. atleast leave us with a nice akash-payal scene.. yess, I would prefer the anyday over Mr and Mrs Snake Jha!

    Khushi..THANK YOU for showing that you have an iota of brain and atleast thinking of calling arnav before going to meet shyam.. that you didn't do it is another thing altogether...but after reading the comments I was quite sure you would go get shyam without thinking even once abt arnav whom you love so much, dammit! And CVs gave me hopes wrt hkushi's character redemption -

    1. All of khushi's thoughts revolved around getting shyam back for anji well being and NOT because shyam has genuinely reformed

    2. "hume aisa karna pada" and not, "shyamji sudhar gaye hain, hume unhe ek mauka dena chahiye".. meaning, she still feels its a necessity and not something she genuinely wants..

    3. Shyam's dialogues where he says "ab khushiji ko bhi maanana hoga ki hume waapas bulane ke alava unke paas aur koi raasta nahi hai" .. looks like CVs are majorly trying to stuff their POV down out throats, saying khushi still has some sanity left! Don't mind that at all.. :)

    Nani..I LOVE YOU, dammit!! :)) the way she tried to console buaji.. knowing how illogical and stipid her precious princess was behaving.. she really IS the wise one..

    Dadi...are her thoughts towards khushi gonna change when she finds out khushi is the one who brought shyam back? Or will it pave more way for "unhone apne matlab ke liye ye kiya?"

    Arnav.. I am soooo looking forward to tomorrow!!! For once, you have complete permission to shout at khushi, yell at her, do whatever you want...but I hope you remember in the end that its you whom she loves and that you can visibly see the changes in her behaviour when shyam is back...

    So, according to new spoilers shaadi preparations resume, so can we hope for arnav-khushi to hatch a plan to expose shyam together??? *SHIDDAT*


    In khushi's defense, she is atleast thinking of solutions to get di out of misery, however dumb and illogical they might be and she DID try to contact arnav before she went and got shyam back.. what exactly is arnav doing to get his di out of misery? Visiting random gynaecologists with akash?? Don't kill me girls, but that's my honest opinion after today's epi... while everybody else is just pestering her to eat something...crying their hearts out and hoping she doesn't leave them or going to temples and offering prayers.. khushi is atleast doing some action and a quick, effective one at that..that's the only positive I can think out of this khushi bringing back shyam thingy.. assuming ofcourse she did it ONLY and ONLY for di.. that we'll come to know tomorrow..

    Anjali/DB... kya kahein yaar, you surpass yourself everyday in your pathetic-ness.. I mean, everyday I think "nooo she can't be worse than this" and everyday you prove me wrong.. why don't you do a deepali and say "I quit"???? Sab ka bhala ho jayega..


    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. oh yeah...and shyam has a house of his own??? That's a new to me.. :P or maybe that's because I haven't really watched the previous episodes completely.. :P

    2. Yep Madsie, I want Arnav to yell like mad tommo...and I want Khushi also to yell back (altho why and how she will do that, i have no idea!) but as Dia said ek yelling session ho jaye...bahut pyar bhi hazam nahin hota humse....and that too with the creepali version contamination.

      And Anji started this Shyamji only recently right? previously he was-one-who-cannot-be-named? inhone, unhone, we, etc....

    4. mads, good that they clarified that khushi does not think that shyam reformed. so CT clarified that she is treating shyam's entry as a bitter medicine.. that is a relief. at least she is not turned dumb.

      Delete
    5. Madsie, agree with almost everything in your post, especially the redeeming of Khushi after Friday ... don't know if the cv's visited IF over the weekend, but IF had erupted in rage over that Khushi-DM scene, so if today was damage control, I'm thankful for it!

      I'm hoping Payal will stay back ... will be odd to see anyone else in place of Deepali :( And maybe I'm imagining it, but she's getting more lines and space these days ... so maybe they are working something out. Oh well, if she leaves, she leaves - can't blame her really.

      Agian in Khushi's defence, at least her decision to get Shyam back didn't seem so out of place with all the Di nautanki and collapsing act, and everyone talking about how much better she was yesterday and how she ate properly ...

      Did Shyam deliberately show himself to Khushi? How did he know she had seen him? He is smart enough to realise that only Khushi's soft heart can overcome Arnav's decision ... so he will make it a point to be good to Anjali in front of Khushi ... unless of course Arnav is fool enough to show that he is helpless in the face of Di's tantrums. And wouldn't put it past Shyam to make sure Anjali doesn't recover for a good long time ...

      Chalo, we do have some wedding festivities to look forward to now ... though am still wondering whether the actual wedding will take place or not!

      Delete
    6. Dia, i think the marriage will happen, but will again be a hate marriage.......with Garima truth out in the open, and Khushi wont know bt it till much later......she will just think that he is angry as she got Shyam back without consulting him.......

      Delete
    7. but how will khushi NOT know that part of garima's truth, if it comes out?

      Delete
    8. Dia,
      I felt Shyam did not deliberately show himself, he said something like, "I am glad K saw me", as if that was an added blessing.

      Geetu, Jaya..
      The recaps used to end with, "kya khushi jaan payegi"about garima's secret- I have a feeling she will be the one to know before him.
      Hate marriage- I hope they won't play the same track again- if they do, I'll be disappointed...in fact, Gul has brought the relationship to such a level that nothing can stop Arnav from getting Khushi- even if she wants to move away...too early to guess, I guess.

      Anger, yes...hatred, please noooooooo....

    1. thinking from the story, not what we actually watched on screen.. anjali was deeply disturbed with the miscarriage, she almost lost touch with reality, refuses to accept that her husband is a cheat, refuses to eat food.. i am pretty sure nani had flashbacks of her own daughter's suicide.. and she might have been scared that anjali will do something similar.. and heaved a big sigh of relief when TQ seemed to get new wind in her sails on sight of KP.

      Delete
    2. J..u r right...its just that....the pampering for Anji and the sheer incredulity of it all stops me from having that humane thot that u highlighte; its perfectly normal for nani who has seen the tragedies in her family to react in that manner....Anji having morphed into someone else now....so i guess my knives were out....glad u brought about ur perspective....

      Delete
    3. Yep, story point of view se Creepwa being brought back made sense ... am just very glad that Khushi didn't continue with her 'he has reformed and deserves a chance' funda and switched to 'it's only for Di' ... that made it bearable for me, because we all knew he would be brought back, and apart from Arnav himself, no one else had the balls to bell the cat.

      So chalo, VLR is back ... no more clandestine meetings between the 'star-crossed lovers' with only a frail young nurse as their bodyguard against the zalim duniya ... *rofl*

      And hopefully the fiesty Khushi will be back ... she won't be as fiery as the guesthouse one, those days are gone for good ... but hopefully she won't take Arnav's words quietly and will argue back. Wish she would tell him that she saw Shyam sneaking around the day before, and he's been meeting Di clandestinely anyway, so might as well have him be there in the open under everybody's nose ... SHIDDATT!!!!!

  10. Agree with you geetanjali one hundred percent ..Arnav should remind Khushi that Evilwa had not only tried to kill her but also him. Khushknows what Evil had said that day that if he ie.evilwa can't have her no body will hence tying her up and leaving her on the road to die.Also trying to burn alive the love of her life. What guarantee
    He won't harm her and Arnav again.

  11. just got a few minutes of the epi - was so mad at KKG!! - but saw the rest and now my reactions are diff - no credit to the show - and all credit to my 10 year old!
    I guess your daughter baking her 1st Birthday cake (with icing) for you does this to you - makes you so gooey inside that you don't even mind KKG being stupid - (no sense wasting space on Anji in any case!)

    looking forward to a good day tom :D

    3. Happy birthday, Mona! Aww, your daughter baked a cake for you ... I know the feeling ... most precious in the world :))) God bless her!

      As for teaching kids ... both my kids have the same reactions ... cos I used to lose my temper completely with them ... hats off to you, Sama and all teachers in the world!

      Am not mad at KKG either ... I did see where she was coming from, and besides, if they had done the sensible things like made her speak to Arnav or the doctor, it would have only postponed the inevitable ... VLR had to come back for the story to progress, so am just glad they cut it short and got him back already, the whole Di-rama is over, it was getting nauseating!

      Though why they needed that fight between Arshi, I don't know ... unless cv's also felt too much love and no friction was getting a bit too mushy. I certainly did ... am ready for a fight and some roothna manana.

  14. okay, so i am eating crow. am re watching last weeks episodes now, and surely anjali fell in the evening, was brought home next morning. i guess the soup feeding was lunch, dadi confrontation was afternoon, broken vase was evening.. and khushi reached home by night.. sorry girls..

    (and yes, why did arshi not change clothes remains a big question :D )

    1. Khushi didn't change because she never went home in the middle ... did she take all her clothes back home when she left RM? Why didn't Arnav change? I guess they were both too caught up with Di-rama ;)

  15. saw friday's epi just now.. and my facepalm moment.. "di is feeling better.. must be some medicine's effect" "then i will go and tell the nurse to continue those meds" gah! and you call this man a shatir dimaag? ..and WT? dadi snubbed khushi right in front of his face,and no reaction on him? not even an apologetic look?

    and today's episode.. i discounted it on friday, but pray tellz, how do they get that food trolley up the stairs?

    now that payaliya is going away, she got a lot of dialogues!
    nani called "buaji"!!! everyone's forgetting dialogues these days?
    nurse says di has stomach pain.. is she psychic?
    pulse is fast, bp is low..fever too.. veritable lab on two legs!

    today we saw exactly how ODG reached her decision to bring snake back to RM.. and his snakini was perfectly dancing to his tunes!!

    "tumhari phonewa mam.. 'engagement' tone aawat raha" ROFL

    and during RR's entry-maroing, they were showing him from the shoes up.. was i the only one who heard a stomach rumbling its hunger ?

    arnav bitwa's walk in slowmotion.. and the BG music.. wow.

    "kisne kaha ki tumhe yaha aane ka haq he?"
    "humne" oooh! sherni!!! now she knows she has as much haq on the house and its inhabitants as him!! in fact, for the first time she used her haq as his wife to take care of her SIL.. i have to say i loved today's episode.

    and was that DB's Bd who had white nailpolish and was cupping arnav bitwa's face? because just an instant ago, she was cupping everyone's face with that jarring red nailpolish that both SILs shared for their shared function...

      My hubby happened to see everyone fussing over Di..for eating food and he said..."itna footage khake khana kaise khayegi".....

  16. I have to agree with you Jaya, this was a good episode, and Khushi is one brave lady, and she is going to have a lot of explaining to Arnav that is if she will be able to get the,words out with Arnav raising the roof off with his anger at what she has done. She has not only gone against him but has also brought the person he hates into his house. Fireworks are going to happen. I hope,they restrict Shyam's time at RM and only,allow him at meal times etc and,supervised by someone other than Dadi. Hope Arnav does use his brain once he cools down.

  17. LOL -I thought it was my liberated mindset making me cringe at the turn of events - my mom(she is 75) just watched the episode and she was more furious than me at Khushi - she's like who on earth is she to invite him - she is not even the bahu now...how can she even think of calling him...there goes the aunty audience...

  18. Dunno about IPK popularity in TRP ratings, but we have the top show on SP copying IPK happily ... with a kidnapping track and pen drives ... I laughed out loud when I saw the candle wick promo!!! And the maid is kidnapped and held at gunpoint ... the exact scene is copied!

    1. Dia,

      Right now the lampwick show has a better track than IPK. Don't know if the scenes were inspired by IPK but here they have at least got a logical explanation for the kidnapping and the pen drive, unlike our show which only showed the hero doing nothing to free himself while he was moved from place to place.


      The track in the wick show is about a terrorist who masquerades as an innocent citizen mingling with the family. When the maid realised he is not what he claimed to be, he gets her kidnapped and the pen drive contains his plan of attack which he had wanted to convey to his bosses through a private wireless network but couldn't do so because the heroine accidentally finds out about the wireless network and informs the police who, in turn, have alerted the cyber crime patrol. The terrorist is now desperate to get back the pen drive which lands in the heroine's hand. She has no clue what it contains but has gone to the police to report the maid's absence.

      All said and done, despite the show being regressive in the treatment of its female leads, it has not sight of logic while spinning its yarn. All loops are painstakingly closed and they do their homework for every track. It has its disadvantages too. The leads lack chemistry, the supporting cast is loud, the show is slow moving etc but there is a lot our show can learn from it.

      Delete
    2. I think I'm going to start watching it ... I like logic in a show. The main problem is the female lead ... she is so bad, and her dialogue delivery is pathetic! I wanted to watch it when it started because I liked the concept of a woman studying after marriage and her husband supporting her - very true to real life for me :)
      I even watched the first few episodes but the heroine and Bhabho's loud acting and typical MIL behaviour put me off - I hate saas-bahu drama! But will give it a shot.

      Am also planning to try the new show on Sony with Raqesh Vashisht and Aamna ... sounds pretty good.

  19. Chalo…Gul..What shall I do with you?
    Ek haath se deti ho to ek haath se leti hai.
    1. She did something I thought she’d do (nani seeing the dadi point…part of my worst case scenario, but that dialogues was silly and made nani look like a fool- it does not help if the actor is not convinced about her character too- love story ke liye kya kya khona padta hai…kis kis ko kurbani deni padti hai…)
    2. 2. She did something I thought she wouldn’t do (K getting Shyam back without consulting ASR!!!!! – at least the wise ladies here had prepared me for it , so I did not flip..ate my words..)

    2 points on this development-
    1. Shyam had to be brought back int RM and it had to be done by Khushi- how to do this?
    Op 1: Let K talk it out with ASR and convince him.- brainless ASR.
    Op2: Let K talk it out , ASR disagrees – then the whole family forces him, so he agrees- murder of every character including ASR, since he should not bow down to any one’s hare brained ideas when HE KNOWS what is the truth.
    Op3: K tries to contact ASR- unsuccessful- gets Shyam back since she cannot stand Di going psychotic+ may be she feels someone has repented…gets him back…ASR is helpless now once Di has thanked him for it:
    Ekta Kapoor would’ve taken op 1 or 2
    I am glad 4 lions took op 3, because it gives us 2 fantastic results…

    1. ASR is out of his SKD, knows what Di really wants, and he is still not convinced about Shyam, but his hands are tied due to K’s well meaning, immature reaction..

    2. Yipppeeee… we get ASR back- everytime he goes into mourning and turns moony- K mothers him….we get Arnav

    But when she provokes him…we get Arhi chemistry ….
    To yeh hai in logon ka formula.. switch off switch on ASR mantra- Khushi ke sanaka devi roop- that brings out the fire in him…and I don’t mean anger…there is passion beneath this.

    “You know how much I hate that man”:
    Kyun bitwa? Why do you hate that man so much?

    “Because he ruined what could’ve been between you and me, Khushi.
    If it wasn’t for that creep, I wouldn’t be having these recurrent fbs of dragging you to mandir and forcing this marriage in you. I wanted our marriage to be something else..and now I cannot undo the mistakes of the past…What happened between us remains..I cannot erase any of those painful things I’ve done to you. I hate that man for doing this to us…”

    We know this, bitwa.
    Are you going to tell her this NOW? Or are you going to tell her sometime LATER? Yeah, we know you have problems expressing your thoughts, but you do surprise us sometimes.
    Jaise bhi ho, we KNOW why you hate that man, ASR.

    My SKD…this will happen someday, because I feel what I saw yesterday is not anger..it is passion.
    I DON’T CARE if they disappoint us today.

  20. I am so glad they said Khushi sees Shyam as a bitter medicine...makes it more acceptable.

    I'll come back to read all the comments.

    Mads, thanks for that link to San's old serial: spent some time watching MJHT for a change. Did tha end like Geet...I hope it had a sensible ending.

    Dia,
    Di- rama over...exactly why I heaved a sigh of relief yesterday.

    1. Yep, Su, my feelings exactly ... if Khushi had done the sensible things, and spoken to Arnav, or tried to get a doctor, or tried to persuade him, it would have just postponed the inevitable ... and given us more of the Di-rama to swallow. I was mentally prepared for this to happen, so now am just glad it's over and done with and we don't have to see a married couple sneaking around to meet like teenagers and their Dabba ve scenes ... pukeworthy!!! Especially when you know one is a pakka villain ... it creates NO sympathy at all for the other!!!

      Agree with you about scenarios 1 and 2 making Arnav brainless ... the problem I have with this one is that it made Khushi brainless :(((
      I just hope that Khushi tells Arnav, or he realises somehow that DI has been going behind his back to meet Creepwa ... the deceit was not all from Khushi's end, his devoted sister was equally deceitful, in fact more! He needs to get out of his SKD about Di being Saint Anjali.

    2. we always called the fake-feeling rabba veys as "dabba ve"s.. until (or was it beginning from) that stolen dabba in the office.

      I am glad you gave the link to their promo together..,.
      From yesterday the burning kosten on my mind was nothing on the show, but this:
      Why didn't they show them as a couple?
      Why separately as Arnav and Khushi?

      The new promo helps a lot- Thanks !

  22. A thought that occurred to me when I read Rekha's post y'day.
    Rekha,
    The one where you said you managed to convince yourself that she accepted the hate marriage because of guilt about being the reason for Payal's first marriage breaking...

    After I read that post, this thought came.

    Does she have guilt now too?
    And that guilt was sown in her mind by ASR himself- when he accused her that night of being responsible for Di's marriage breaking..it is not a strong feeling of guilt, perhaps...I think she still harbours it somewhere in her subconscious.
    I am not saying the guilt made her take this step, just that may be there is some guilt and ASR is responsible for that... even though he told her he didn't mean it.

  23. Su,

    i don't know if u read my other post which was in reply to ur concern on whether Gul will pull out the trust edifice track well when the chips are down...its the beauty of the idea, imo, that is more real..not whether it works in real life or not. so obviously a litmus test for Gul...and us too

    Also Khushi's realisation of love has always been glossed over.....but the narrative worked becos for me Khushi has lived her love, literally wearing her heart on her sleeve...so an action putting her love in danger seemed odd to me...strictly my feeling..

    Just like Arnav has travelled some distance in this journey of realisation of love, so has Khushi...probably i thot, this was the time to put it to test..so naturally disappointed that she did not top the class.....

    But, i guess, if one wants to defend her actions, its absolutely possible...that is the beauty of opinions....if we look at this fictional tale with a microscope, u can't go beyond the first few episodes....really....

    so coming back to ur question, Gul may left some gaps to close on that...the regular audience is hardly looking at it in these minute terms...for them MU is common between lovers....roz MU karo aur roz manao....its people like us who are actually looking for logic in love.....*starting the jhap again*

    1. 'disappointed that she did not top the class.....':
      I thought your gripe was with K's brains...how was her love and trust tested here?

      Delete
    2. It WAS a test of her brains ... heart won over mind big time here ... and she gave in to the tantrums of two-year old Di. Something every woman has to learn when she becomes a mother - you can't give in to tantrums of your kids when they demand something which you know is bad for them.
      Of course Arnav being mysteriously uncontactable during all this also helped ... how come he didn't make sure he could be contacted at all times when he knew Di was so fragile?

      All because the cv's wanted to show K responsible for getting VLR back ... and had no other way ... have made my peace with that one and stopped looking for logic or sense here :(

      Delete
    3. Yes Dia.....in fact, i just read ur post in SG...100% agree wth u...about blame lying as much at Arnav's door for not telling Di the entry story when it would have so much been better...to explain...

      as i said....we rationalised it as a case of Arnav not being able to face up to the reality that the scumbag had any role to play in his life...that loathsome is the idea for him...so in a similar way...we will find ways to accept this Khushi's decision one way or the other and some grateful thanks to the CVs for not dumbing her down beyond her own comprehension....as u said peace karna padega varna aage kaise dekhe.....

      and Su, test of brains in this case...but i do expect that when u love someone u don't have to keep brains apart..its not a mutually exclusive situation....its becos u love someone, u are all more careful about that person's safety...thats all i meant.....

    4. Dia,
      My thoughts are not well formed on this. I did not quote that scene and the guilt factor as an explanation or logic for her actions...when I get it right, may be I will be able to make it clear.
      I guess I am wondering if he instilled a sense of guilt in her with that careless accusation.
      And if he will be made to re-visit that comment again...
      I had forgotten that scene, but now something (it was Rekha's post actually) makes me wonder if he can just get away with a 'I did not mean it'...because he actually succeeded in making her feel guilty enough to pack up and go home(at least that was one factor too) and he has not addressed it from then.

      Delete
  24. Jaya,
    Thanks for clarifying on the timeline there.
    I never bothered about it after that, but nice to know.

    I wondered about the clothes part because I keep wondering how they can walk around one whole day without taking a bath.*lol*
    This is the same issue I had with Khushi walking around in that lehenga post marriage also...it irks me...kya karen!

    ReplyDelete
  25. On the other side, this is the only serial who uses so much bds. I don't understand exactly what's the point. I miss the love story of k and a. I hope to see them more often now that shyam is already back.
