3/9 - Epi 333 ... Broken Dreams, Broken Promise

Monday 3rd September

A woman who dreamed of being a mother, of rebuilding her life, of regaining lost happiness ...

A man who swore he would do anything to make his sister happy, never let sorrow enter her life again, she had already had more than her fair share of it ...

A girl who has to pick up the shattered pieces of both brother and sister ... give them the strength to rebuild their dreams, keep their promises.

  1. OMG - so ASR's parents were weaklings (parents not just mother!) - and if they already had problems (like ODB mentioned earlier in the IPK/narnia day) - then the mother was kind of selfish too - to do something like this on your daughter's wedding day! - i mean no matter what the provocation - how could you hurt your own kid in such a way (and if they had had problems - then this was not a shock!)
    - ODB takes after mom - not dad - who did not hear out dad!
    - if garima turns out to be the other woman than this will be the most boring, 'anti' climax to a climax!! - hopefully there will be some twist somewhere -
    - poor boy has too much of a baggage - if nothing else - today justified ASR's reactions through till date

    1. Mona...me thinks Garima isnt the other woman, just for a reason that after today, we are all expecting her to be....so that will be the googly......

    2. yes, me too.. I recalled her dialogue today - hum tab bhi jhooth nahi bolna chahte the, aur aaj bhi nahi...

      CVs are smart...they have left too many paths open again.. either of the possibilities might be true -

      1. ASR's parents had a huge MU, explaining dad being so ashamed of being the cause of mom's death and asking her "kaun aurat?"

      2. Other woman was garima, but it was the scenario exactly like khushi...and she had to lie to save the Mallik marriage from breaking, but after that she fled off..

      3. Other woman wasn't garima, but was covering up for her..

      Also, Arnav has neither seen the name of the woman, nor her face...so technically it could be anybody..

      which leaves me to a few other questions -

      1. has he told everybody what he heard that day b/w his parents? namely, anji and nani? Anji, I would think now.. she would have been too fragile.. but nani? I doubt here too..warna she wouldn't have been so friendly with the woman whose son made her daughter go through hell.. so nobody knows the truth, except ASR.

      2. how much does dadi know? and what does she mean when she says "aapne tab bhi galat paksh ka saath diya tha aur aaj bhi.." considering that she believes shyam is innocent from the tale he told her, it means that she also believed her son was innocent and all the kiya-karaya was of the "other woman".. but what role does garima have to play? does dadi know something arnav doesnt?

      jaane ke liye dekhiye, Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon, mon-fri raat 8 baje..

      par iss baat ki koi guarantee nahi hain ki saare questions ke jawaab milenge.. :P

    3. Mads, ur ques 1. Nani knows about the other woman, remember Nani-Dadi convo in Dadi's room, after khushi intro..... and thats why Nani hates ASR's dad.. but Dadi, apart from being her samdhan, is also her friend, so thats why she hasnt broken off the ties........

      ur ques 2, i feel Dadi knows tht MallikSr was not having an affair and Mrs Mallik judged him wrongly....and took a hasty and weak decision of committing suicide...MallikSr's suicide right after also suggest he was broken after his wife's death....

      thats the main diff between MallikSr and Shyam

      Delete
    4. I dont think the other woman was Garima and could Mrs. Mallik have MUed Mr. Mallik after all MU runs in the family.

    5. Shwetha : ditto to both ur points.....

  2. Every single person came through today in acting department.

    Barun and Sanaya were fabulous and was DB and the rest of the cast.

    So his version of the past comes out.

    He overhears his parents arguing.
    Him mother accuses his dad of having an affair?

    Was that a denial from his end when he said, what aurat?

    So could it be that Mallik senior was a victim of the circumstances.

    Anjali maa ki beti hai.

    So the mother commits suicide cos her husband committed suicide on the day her daughter is supposed to get marreid?

    WT*

    Or was it murder?

    He hates his Dad cos according to him his dad's betrayal led to his mom's suicide.

    Is that why he is so overprotective of her realizing that his mom and his Di are same in temperament.

    He was the younger brother who told his sister, everything will be allright?

    As the elder sister shouldn't she be the one who would have been his strength?

    Which again proves,

    Di is Arnav's weakness
    Khushi is Arnav's strength.

    S one blow over, another on its way.

    Shyam vs ASR.......wow!!

    6. Shwets,

      "Di is Arnav's weakness
      Khushi is Arnav's strength."

      Yea for that -that is what I have been carping about all weekend - she needs to show that strength and be that pillar he can lean on now :)

      Good episode overall - great acting by all..

      Finally a major step in the maturing of the Arnav-Khushi relationshiip - he is opening himself up and exposing his weaknesses to Khushi and learning to lean on her - the 360 of tum sab kuch apne aap nahi kar sakti..he needs her as much as she needs him:)

      Garima may be the accused other woman - whether unfairly accused, remains to be seen.. based on his dad's retort,who did I meet and Arnav's admission that he came to know later that she had actually come to say goodbye to his dad ..there was a disconnect..

      Interesting twist that :)

  3. when an IPK episode takes me by surprise, oh boy, do I LOVEEEE it or what!!!

    surprise no. 1 : they did NOT stretch the anji going into shock more than 3 mins..I actually thought her reaction justified..a pretty understandable reaction for a woman who refuses to see reality..

    surprise no. 2 : khushi tries to make anji see reason, much like the last time...restoration of the KKG I LOVE..muah!!

    surprise no. 3 : wonder of wonders!! ASR doesn't blame khushi/use khushi as punchbag..lets her handle di without getting mad EVEN when she is trying to make her see reality..and then, khushi insists she is gonna wait at the hospital with arnav (dia, your SKD!!)

    surprise no. 3 : BAAP of all the wonders!! past is finally revealed...well, not completely, but its a start..AND arnav for the first time shares his deepest insecurities and pains with khushi.. and khushi stands by him, rock solid.. :))) gives him that much needed hug..aww ASR looked like a kid when he was in her arms.. and when he said "main kisi bhi tarah himmat jutakar unse kaha ki sab thik ho jayega..main sab thik karunga!" I could sooo see a 14 yr old brother desperately trying to make things right in his sister's life..a sister who he KNEW was weak at heart..and that's one promise he made to himself long ago.. and the anguish, that he was unable to keep that promise.. :((

    See CVs...now that wasn't so difficult, was it?? THIS is what we meant by a STORY ... this is the level of episodes I would like to see...past and di, intertwined with ArHi... making it the intense, passionate take that we all love.. :))

    desperately hoping for a follow up scene tomo to today's hug..

    a huge round of applause to Barun...you were FANTABULOUS today!! :)) it was his show all the way...from the anguish, to the guilt, to the pain as he finally lets loose his ghosts of the past..to his seeking comfort in khushi.. brilliant acting!!

    as for ASR, well, for a guy who refused to say sorry for his own mistake...he has come along a long, long way of admitting guilt to not only himself, but to his better half too..admitting that he is a failure...which he would have never, ever done in his entire life, had it not been khushi to whom he was saying all this..

    thank you, CVs.. :)

    1. oh yes...how could I forget, cherry on top - the precap!!!!

      arnav-shyam face off!!! ooooh excited about that!!!! there is NO WAY after today that either of khushi or arnav will allow shyam back into the house... NO WAY!!!

      As usual didn't know how to put it in words ...

      And oh.. yes I forgot ... It Barun all the way ... he was brilliant today... Dam my heart went out for him .. just wanted to hug him and say that it wasn't all your fault..
      And what I liked Mads was he agreed to Khushi that he married her for his Di .. now he wants it for him that's what is with the hug...
      And thank you CV... Hats off to you guy.... this is what we want ... Di there but as catalyst and not as the main ingredient...
      everyone else in balanced dose..

    6. Mads,
      Great post - ASR's breakdown was the one that blew me away --

      Though Anji's denial in the begining did make me wonder if my delusional mom thought was playing out - but I loved the touch of Anji accepting the fact when she see's Arnav's face..

      Delete
  4. Dam that what I get when I keep low expectations ... A Dhamkadar episode...

    Mads exactly my thoughts .. not streching on Anji,
    Khushi being there for Anji and Arnav..
    Mami and Khushi telling Anji about death, think it will be khushi with the help of mami who will get TQ out her delusion...
    Khushi being there for arnav..
    Past coming out to some extent.. I think ASR Dad had been misunderstood. with him helping Garima after Khushi's parents death which was misunderstood by His mom...

    And the best is the precap..
    Yes after today I don't think Arhi will seperate might be little physical with DD not allowing K into RM since the marriage is not done.. but I don't think they will be seperated emotional...

    With the Ganesha idol in the background and arnav letting khushi into his past, and they being there together makes me feel that Arhi will together get Anji to see shyam's truth

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. also, Aaru...in the precap they showed ArHi running into shyam together... can we take it as a symbolism that they will fight him together? Even if, not physically, but atleast on the same side? Now that they have let khushi into arnav's past and so emotionally close to him, it seems ridiculous that they will drift apart from each other, except, like you said, physically.. :) which I can take anytime!!

  6. Oh boy pura ka pura BFTP .... at least from ODB's POV aur new scenes bhi yayyyyyyy :D :D :D

    So happy to be proved wrong ... cvs ese hi aur bhi galat prove kariye nah ... woh jo shaatir dimaag wala myth hai use galat sabit kariye nah ... aur woh jo feisty khushi wapas nahi ayegi woh bhi ... please pretty please!!

    Mona kaha tha nah Monday ke Monday hoga ArHi, ueh cvs ka naya formula hai ... lol

    "hum yahi rukenge" They keep looking at each other till everyone decides to leave. Haaaayyyeeeee

    Mona agree with you ... real torment is both attempted suicide and lead to disaster ... there can be no explanation that can make one feel it was justified until it was murder by chachaJi. i don't want to set store to it, till cvs are worn out of ideas completely and brings in new twist.

    I have a feeling other woman is Garima ... Khushis parents died when she was 8. Garima married Shashi and moved in with Khushi 10 and now 11 years back. There is a gap of 4 years. It more and more feels like Mallik Sr. was the reason of Khushis parents death, which made him take of khushi who was with Garima. Yahi huwa toh I feel for Rekha. Bechari kabse bol rahi hai MU aur mat dikhaiye .... yahan toh puri ki puri dastaan likh di gayi hai.

    In sab ke beech kisi neh toh haircut ke saat dil garden garden kardiya !!! :D :D :D

    1. Sama,
      So maybe Sr.Mallik was just paying Garima to take care of Khushi out of guilt and someone played it up as if he was supporting his lover ?

      that absolves everyone of wrongdoing except his Mom who jumped the gun ?

  9. :D:D glad to see the ones loosing faith in IPK return ;) - welcome back ladies :D:D

    as for ODB blaming ODG - knew that would not happen - just did not seem possible after all that had happened

    Glad that now Both ASR & KKG will not allow TF in - not easily that is! good - no sacrificing bahu type thing i was fearing!! - excellent!

    Mads - can so see a 14 yr old say - i will restore it all, he being the support and not Di - does not mean DI was weak - as i see it after all, he was just a boy - the enormity of the situation must have hit anji much harder than arnav, one coz she was the daughter and daughters are generally (being liberal here!) more sensitive and closer to parents and two - she was older - more aware of how 'sahara-less' they had become in one stroke - how painful it must have been

    But one thing is for certain - i so get everything that ASR did till date - always knew there was a reason but now i can say i support the poor boy (even his obsessive caring for Di - she really is the only one left for him!) AND i also get the blind faith Di has on Shyam - coz she knows that cheating exists and ruins - she turns a blind eye - she prefers to think that the worst is over - what happened to ma will not happen to her - so basically overlook any little suspicious behavior by husband!

    Finally - Ab iskay bad to Dia ka update (and edit) banta hai!!! :D

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. oh and one more thing - if the mother committed suicide coz she 'knew' (thought) her husband was cheating on her - have to say - am with dadi today - she was a weak mother - any other time - i would have felt sorry for her - but just when her daughter was getting married - that was plain selfish!

      only one fear now- from the story told so far - seems ODB may have been wrong in branding his dad the bad guy - if so dadi was right when she said - you chose the wrong side - adn if so - that give more mileage to dadi to say - you were wrong then, you are wrong now!! - ok can see a very long night ahead :D

      Delete

    2. Mona,
      "i so get everything that ASR did till date"
      "am with dadi today - she was a weak mother -"
      Precisely what I felt yesterday.

      "you were wrong then, you are wrong now!! "

      This is why I keep saying the SCRIPT IS BRILLIANT.
      They are going to turn it around on ASR because he was WRONG then, even though he is right now.

      "Glad that now Both ASR & KKG will not allow TF in - not easily that is! good - no sacrificing bahu type thing":

      I am not so sure yet, it will not be a sacrificing bahu thing, but Shyam looks like he has it all set and HE WILL ENTER RM.

      When I saw the precap, all I could think was- "This guy is such a smooth talker. He is so very much the patient understanding caring hubby, who'd believe this is the guy who killed that child!" And between angry young man ASR and humble daamad, dadi will choose daamad.

      Delete
    3. Oh yes Su of course he will enter - and he has to for the story to go forward - but am glad that ODG did not go the sacrificing bahu route - "me is nothing - get back TF for DI types" -
      AND now = when she is with ODB - knows more about him (through his own admission) more than anyone else - is closest to him - then i don't mind them calling TF back - they are in it together - can fight their battles together - hope i am not too confusing - can't seem to put in words the difference i see here - basically one option out of sacrifice for family (with no regard to self) and the other sacrifice for family but with done as 'Us' with full faith and trust in each other!

  10. What a perfect start to the week and to my night shift!!

    Thank You CV's! am glad i did not give up on you yet!!

    I got to work..and watched the episode online before anything else (my priorities are in the right order!!)

    I loved Khushi taking Arnav's place in the family setup and trying to make Anjali face the reality..

    I loved khushi staying back with ASR...

    And am glad we know at least something about the BFTP..

    My heart went out to Arnav today..bechara kitna kareya apni Di ke liye! i had tears in my eyes seeing him soo helpness...i wanted to say you did more than you promised to do as a 14 year old Chotte..he is a broken man right now with Khushi as his rock!! I love it!!

    I like to think that Garima is NOT the other woman (of course mein jo sochti hoon kabhi sach nahi hota..but still!!:P) ...if she is..then A and K kabhi together nahi rahenge!!

    Not to be mean or anything..i expect amazing performances by Sanaya..Barun kind of tends to take me by surprise (don't hit me please!!).. Barun...i accept..the episode belonged to you...AMAZING performance!

  12. Had missed a couple of minutes in the first watch - my take on everyone else:
    - sorry still could not like dadi (and i am not biased ;))
    - Have to love mami - she really loved these two as her own -loved how she - the ever practical one had to break the news - loved how she looked at her sasu-ma for reassurance before speaking out - she normally is at opp ends with her but always on the same side when Anji is concerned (even after the KD) - loved how nani tried to calm her down when she was talking to the doc

    - did not like that nani (or mami) did not stay and dadi did - that made no sense except if dadi has a role to play tonight

    - i know i have already ranted about KKG's barely there dress but during the high drama episode - amidst all the seriousness, i could not get my eyes of the red and green grapes hanging from her waist - they were so distracting funny!

    2. Mona..

      i agree..do not like Dadi still...

    3. yup - you ladies are right - dadi had to be there to get TF - so then nani did not budge - great!

      Yes Anita - the fancy kamarband is actually a bunch of reds and green balls that look like grapes!! in fact ODG was busy with her mehndi - which was wet - which even ODB could not touch and as soon as the 'mehndi laga kay rakhna' song started - she was wearing a few dozen bangles in both hands!! - i know i am weird that a ways - cant help but notice :D:D:D:D

  13. Arre yaar..mera post udd gaya becos of some internet problem...

    Uff...sab wapas likhna padega....


    As disjointed Friday's epis....that seamless was today's epi..

    THE epi belonged to BS and DB....

    BS WAS FANTASTIC IN EVERY FRAME...boy u do amaze me esp when i see ur offscreen persona....

    DB was very gud in the awareness and breakdown scene...

    San was very gud in the Anji-Khushi scenes...
    And the Arnav_Khushi scenes were understated..took my breath away...BS, ASR was written for u...and u only and Gul knows this man pretty well it seems..i mean ASR...

    Some questions were answered and new questions were posed...

    ReplyDelete
  14. New questions posed....

    Arnav thinks that the other woman and father were in it together...i remembered a decision that he took as a 14 year old....what did the poor boy do then? hope the Cvs have not forgotten that aspect....

    Mother committed suicide on her daughter's marriage on knowing about the infidelity........mother precipitates crisis by killing herself....father kills himself in guilt....poor 14 year ASR blames father for the whole issue....talk of how age can be a huge deterrent in understanding complex problems of adults....

    irrespective of how the MU is resolved...i hope they will focus on how a situation can be misread on first impressions by anyone....

    ReplyDelete
  15. Sam,

    Talking about Mus and past occurrences...on first impression, and i may be completely wrong here...its sad that the mother had to take such a knee jerk reaction....to the issue....usually the hypertense people allow for some large scale panic before they take such steps...giving atleast some time for the elders to step in....

    Anji is also not her mother's daughter becos her defence mechanism is vastly diff from her mother.

    If it turns out that the mother just panicked...i am sorry the sympathy will be token...
    I hope Gul has thot that angle thru....

      "a decision that he took as a 14 year old....";
      Speculating:
      I feel it was the decision to hate his father based on that single scene he witnessed (much like how he reacted on the terrace scene)- changed his name to Raizada.
      I don't think, as a 14 year old, he could have taken any other major decision. He also said he did not see the woman after that.So -no acts committed in revenge then.

      Is that woman and 'woh aurat- uss raat' the same?
      I don't think so.
      Because the woman who came to the funeral looked sad- she was the one who was being protected by ASR's dad- ended up in both of them being MU-ed.
      Could that have been Shyam's mom? May be she also died later and Shyam holds ASR's father responsible for her dishonour, hence came to take revenge on the family.

      "if it turns out that the mother just panicked";
      Yeah even I am a little disappointed here. I preferred to think they were both murdered, because we only heard the gunshots- what if evil chacha or someone who created the MU- decided to get them both out of his way for good. Since they didn't show either of them shooting themselves(OFC, ASR didn't see it- therefore it cannot be there in his fb)-.....
      I am still sticking to the 'murder ' theory till I am proved wrong.
      After all, it turned out there was no 'other woman' at all as I hoped. Plus it is hard to believe their mom would shoot herself on the day of the daughter's wedding- there is DEFINITELY something more to it.

    3. Su,

      I am not anti-PH or anything like that.....i react to what is on offer...if necessary eat my words....i have never doubted that there has been brilliance in a lot of past episodes but that will not make me say that they have been brilliant thruout....which i know is not possible in any case, a TV serial is not easy to make, to hold attention every single thru story telling is a tuf ask....

      my rants and disbelief is only restricted to what is portrayed on screen....I am not upset if Anji turns white, grey or black.....my expectation is that the benaviour of a character on screen be consistent with the makers have shown and if there is a deviation, please carify...what has contributed to the change...its not as if people can't change....

      My first sense of disbelief was about Shyam....i never understood whether he is the third wheel inthe ARHI story.....becos his actions were a bif baffling at times....i am glad some glimpses are emerging....i am convinced he did not do this for Khushi or property altho his monologues always made us believe that.....

      On anji...we have had discussions ad nauseum....

      I have to say ASR has been pretty much consistent of the lot....even y'day his past fbs showed a tendency to read what is right in front of him rather than make any attempt to see beyond ...tho i wouldn't blame a 14 old year old for his illusions or his impressions

      Only one crib...the brilliance of his mind has been overrated....i still hope to be proved wrong....

    4. Rekh,
      *HUGS*
      I know you are not anti- PH.
      No one is. We all get a little disappointed once in a while when we feel the PH is cheating us off a love story.

      Did I not rant during the kidnap when I felt things were not going the way it was 'supposed' to?

      Did I not rant on Garima playing hide and seek?

      Just trying to tell you- hold on, the story is still there.
      Trust the CVs, because they know what they are doing even if it looks like they've lost it.(Poor things, they do- but they don't cover up. Instead, they beg us to understand their limitations or end up ranting back at us.)

      Wanted to highlight the 'brilliance' of the team yesterday- it is NOT always there- but IPK was phenomenal yesterday.
      (Trust me, you don't watch any other serials.)

      I am also wondering 'what' SP is sending Sanaya and Barun to London to promote?
      I mean, already IPK is popular overseas, and there is nothing else worth promoting in SP. May be they just wanted to gift them both a trip abroad!

      "even y'day his past fbs showed a tendency to read what is right in front of him rather than make any attempt to see beyond ...": A tube light moment for me when I rewatched it.
      Sigh...

  16. Here's a strong shiddat to one rabbithole where the story should NOT go - the most cliched one possible..

    Dadi Garima confrontation in front of Khushi with Dadi accusing Garima of breaking her son's home and raising Khushi to break her grand-daughter's ..Khushi deciding to run away with her parents ostensibly to save ASR more pain...

    A big no - has been done an umpteen times before - can we get more creative solutions and episodes that surprise us :)

    I am so glad he did not go any of these ways.

  19. Heylo...

    Yesterday's eppy was really good...I thought Daljeet was amazing. She acted really well. And being in denial initially and then slowly accepting it isn't very unrealistic.

    Arnav and Khushi too...perfectly in character very well done. Acting was superb, characterization was superb, reactions were exactly right...

    I think the actors, writers, director all did a great job- Great execution.

    Also for me I was sooooo thrilled to finally get an answer about the past!!

    Looks like hid dad wasn't cheating....

    My only question is...once Dadi and Garima (After being majorly misunderstood, humiliated further etc -they have to stretch it na) prove that he wasn't cheating will Dadi use that as ammo for getting Shyaam back..see you were wrong about your father and you're wrong about Shyaam too.

    1. Gargi,
      I winced initially at the denial- i went 'uh oh!', but then they showed her breaking down because she read the truth in Chhote's eyes- I felt it was done really nicely.
      Very realistic.

      I feel Shyam can get back in RM without the past being explained.
      The past-I feel they will give it to us in bits...it has a bigger role than getting Shyam back in RM.
      It will be uncovered box by box- until they reach the truth in the very core.

      I feel dadi may have NO solid proof of her son's innocence- it is just based on her knowledge of her son, probably. Otherwise she could've cleared the MU long back.

      Just like ASR has NO solid proof of Khushi's innocence(though Payal and Guptas can vouch for it- even they have no proof)- It is just his 'atoot vishwaas'.

      But he can say clearly that Shyam told him that he loved K more than Anjali- only Q is- will Shyam change the story again?

    2. "On your Q:Shyam has not been unfaithful to Anjali before." - on the basis of what they have shown us....but, I don't think that his roving eye came into being only when he saw Khushi. He probably (this is my take on his character sketch) did wander before, but Khushi became his obsession.

      Delete
    3. the things is we dont know anything about Shyam's past....wat he was before marriage to Anjali...even their time together before Khushi came in the picture is just a couple of dialogues from the family....so nothing is clear as yet.......thats why there are speculations about his past being connected to Arnav's past, making him a revenge seeker......

      Delete
    4. I find it hard to believe that he is out for revenge. If that is the case then he wouldn't go to the extent of killing his own child and yes, we do not know if he is habitual philanderer or his waywards ways are restricted to K. I find it easier to accept him as a loafer,liar and cheat with a mammoth avarice for wealth and power.

  22. Su,

    I'm waiting to see how they will show us Shyam's re-entry, if there is one. Arnav did emphasise the point that he always wanted Di's happiness. What if Di now begs him to allow her husband to stay back because that is what will make her happy? If they show Khushi tell Arnav that he should let Shyam back in, I would be disappointed in her. I would have thought that Arnav's safety is mroe important to her than Di's happiness. If Arnav himself decides to bring him back, especially if he is only doing it for Di's happiness and not with a clear plan to expose his ugly face, I would be disappointed in him. This is why I preferred a peethal ka barthan moment where he disappears and hence cannot be held responsible for getting Shyam back and Shyam's re-entry would have been orchestrated by Dadi. After yesterday's episode, that clearly isn't happening. With Shyam's re-entry there is no way I would want Arshi wedding. K is better off at her mayka. Does this mean that Garima story will be shelved for now or will we get to see a showdown between Dadi and Garima which may prompt K to leave with her parents for the sake of protecting both Garima and Arnav from more pain? If they adopt the latter route then they can show Arnav being disturbed by K's disappearance and trying to track her down. During his absence from RM, Dadi can bull doze her way into getting Shyam back.


    I agree with you that ASR's dad has been misunderstood. This makes Dadi's judgment back then right but her concluding that since ASR was wrong then is wrong now too is going to be disproved. It also seems that Garima is the other woman going by the veiled face they showed yesterday. I am inclined to believe in the theory that ASR's papa was responsible for the accident that killed K's parents and to atone for it he was financially helping Garima. This must have been twisted and presented to ASR's mom that he was having an affair with Garima by the wicked chacha (the man who was wearing specs in the funeral). K may try to prove Garima's innocence so that their relationship can get back on track. If Arnav could not tolerate Shyam because he reminded of what his dad had supposedly done, how much more resentment he may have towards the woman whom he believed to have ruined their lives. So Garima's past has to be revealed to him. Maybe once everything is out in the open, Arnav can call Garima 'amma' as K always wanted him to.

    1. Opti,

      If you read what I wrote after you and Rekha explained peetal bartan (thanks a lot, again)- I was excited first.
      Later on, I wished it wouldn't happen because I expected a more mature ASR- and I have to say this- I did not expect Gul will be this CONSISTENT with the love story- BECAUSE THIS IS EXACTLY HOW ARHI should behave at this point in their relationship- and I was too scared to even expect it.

      This is why you find me defending the PH over and over again, they GO BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS. (Not always, there are lapses here and there. but once they took the definitive step forward with the Hut scene and Arhipathy(Both in kidnap track which was their biggest headache *applause*), they have not gone back. Every time I wonder if they'll play 'Arnav is a dark horse' to their advantage and twist the love story, but they have not disappointed me the entire track post kidnap.

      " What if Di now begs him":
      This is why I want Anjali to shut up. I don't want her begging, pining etc. She has lost all that is most important to a woman- her husband and her baby.
      For her husband- she pined and whined.
      For the baby- I read this as the BIGGEST loss to Anjali- compounded with the fact that she will feel guilty also since 1. She tried to kill the baby once. 2. Her careless actions led to this end to her baby.
      (Don't know if Anjali's brain will work to at least get guilty, may be she will just be devastated)

      So, for the baby that is the biggest loss she suffered- I'd personally want her to go in to emotional shock and numbness. (She had some hope at least of getting Shyam back, but this is IRREVERSIBLE. And here, I can understand if she weeps on Shyam's shoulders, but to do justice to the character, I hope she does not demand the return of her husband..)
      Shyam CANNOT make up for this loss. She does not have to beg. Just stay quiet- dadi will do it for her.

      If she begs Shyam be brought back...the character is doomed forever.(It is too straightforward. I hope the CVs will make a twist here in fav of Anji's character.)


      Delete
    2. Even if Anj does not beg for his return, if Arnav is made to bring him back because of Dadi, I still will be disappointed in him.

      Delete
    3. Your Q On Shyam's re- entry- it will be many factors, I hope.
      WHAT IS SHYAM's MOTIVE?
      It is not to just convince Anjali and re- enter RM.
      He has some grand plans to get the wealth.
      And he will take revenge on Khushi.
      He has promised that he will not allow the wedding to happen-
      I am thinking of *HOW HE WILL ACHIEVE that.
      I don't have answers to your Q or my *Q, but I think it is good to keep ALL his motives in mind. Hope the CVs will give some reasonably sensible track for the re- entry.

      Right from teri meri 2: I've always said there will be a separation. (That song was done beautifully- it showed ASR's introspection and the future- ASR looks on as Khushi leaves him. Is it a question or a look of helplessness in his face there?) I felt then, that the next separation will be initiated by Khushi.Or may be he is helpless as the decision is taken by someone else- in the current situation I don't see ASR helpless unless Anjali puts her foot down and says Chotte cannot marry Khushi.

      ( This is why I feel there will be no wedding right now.)

      So if Khushi takes the step away- could it be because of Garima, and why can't she share this with ASR?
      I feel ASR is more mature in this love story now. He is the one who said 'we wil not play any more games."
      She is still doubting his love for her- "I have no proof for you, I can only beg you to look in to my eyes and see the truth there.", "I am not trying to pry in to your past","humne unke liye kuch nahi kiya"- she is not at the same level as ASR, I feel.
      She also made a decision long time back that there will be no secrets between them- so I am really eager in anticipating what is going to unfold in the next few weeks.

      Garima being the veiled woman- ..."jhhot hum tab bhi bolna nahi chahte the"- very confusing... The veiled woman was helpless- did not have to lie- who would have asked her to lie about what? And she feels she did something that needs dadi's forgiveness- I am totally confused there.


      "that ASR's papa was responsible for the accident that killed K's parents and to atone for it he was financially helping Garima."- It is a possibility. There is some connection between Papa Malik and Khushi's parent's death.
      Garima connection- Can't say for sure.

      I feel this will be the next phase in the love story- the next KMH- will come to play another 2 or 3 months later.

      The past will unravel slowly..... and with it the love story will grow stronger......

    4. I was wondering if Dadi may say that Anj was trying to hide her husband's presence in the house and that is why she fell down the stairs. Although Arnav may be upset that his Di betrayed him behind his back, he may be made to feel guilty for pushing her into doing so to keep him happy. This could prompt him to allow Shyam back.

      I was also surprised that they made no reference to the wounds on Anj's feet. Should the doc not wondered how she ended up have glass pieces on her feet?

      Delete
    5. Glass pieces....back in RM, who is going to clean up that bloody mess?
      Will HP not tell the others?
      I heve not much hopes from the glas shard...even if it is discovered, it may be seen as an accident.

      BTW, did Shyam clean up the rest of the glass pieces off the mat?
      I hope HP or the next person in will not hurt themselves!

      Dadi does not know Shyam came for God bharai , Anjali did not confide even to her.(She should've- since dadi is so supportive)

      Delete
  23. Let me see if I can get the time line and the BFTP right.

    Khushi just celebrated her 23rd birthday going by the reference to it in one of the episodes. This means at the start of the show she must have been around 22 years old.

    In one of the early episodes Buaji had said that Khushi came to live with them 10 years back. That would mean that she had come to live with the Guptas when she was around 12 years old, maybe after Shashi married Garima.

    Khushi lost her parents in an accident when she was 8 and has been with Garima since then. This means that Graima was supporting Khushi alone for 4 years.


    Arnav lost his parents 14 years back, when he was 14. At the time Khushi must have been around 9 years old (23-14).


    So it is possible that Arnav's father was responsible for the accident which killed K's parents. Given that he killed himself after his wife committed suicide, it goes to show that the man is deeply remorseful if his acts result in any loss. So he could have felt guilty for the loss of a small girl's parents and decided to support K. Garima would have accepted his support but there was nothing else between them. I don't think Khushi had ever seen Arnav's father because if she had, she would have recognised him (afterall she was 8/9 years old then). Maybe Garima was visiting his office to get the money.


    Enter the wicked chacha who wants to usurp the Mallik wealth. He comes to know of the clandestine support extended by Papa Mallik and poison's Arnav's mom about it. Arnav's mom is led to believe that her husband was having an affair with the woman and was financing their love child. On the night of Anj's wedding, Garima may have been in dire need of money and may have met Arnav's father. Arnav's mom may have witnessed them together and drawn her own conclusions, based on whatever she had been told before. After accusing her husband and without waiting to hear him out (we now know where Arnav gets his genes from) she impulsively shoots herself. The wedding doesn't take place and the family goes into disrepute. Arnav's father ends up killing himself unable to bear the grief.

    Hearing of the death of Papa Mallik, Garima may have come to pay her last respects. Chacha may have alerted Dadi of her presence and Dadi may have had a showdown with her where she would have accused her of trying to milk the Malliks for money and in the process ruined that family. As Garima may have felt guilty of the loss of two lives she may not have clarified that she wasn't having an affair with Papa Mallik. She may have moved to another part of the city and tried to rebuild her life, supporting K as best as she can. She may have met Shashi who, himself was looking Garima may have recounted the whole story and Shashi accepts her as she is.

      I feel that is all the more reason to clear the name of the dead man.
      Plus,
      If it was a MU of the 'other woman'
      WHO created the MU and WHY?
      WHO fed it to mama Malik?
      WHO wanted the entire wealth?
      Could that "who" have killed the Maliks?
      I feel there is a lot they are not showing us- that ASR has not seen.
      Does dadi know the entire truth since she still speaks good of her son, if so, why can't she clear her son's name?

    2. Su, what if Garima is not aware that she was being suspected of having had an affair with Papa Mallik. Even if she was, what if she was asked to keep quiet or else little Khushi will be harmed?

      I feel Arnav's chacha is responsible for poisoning the mother's mind for his pecuniary gains because he was the one who benefitted from the death. Wonder what Dadi did when chacha threw the siblings from the house. Should she not have defended and supported them? Why did she hide herself in the ashram? I don't think the Malliks were killed, at least not Arnav's mom for he seems to have witnessed her shooting herself.


      I don't think Dadi knows the entire truth and may believe that Garima was having an affair with Papa Mallik. She never defends her son. All she says is that it is not as big a mistake for Arnav's mom to kill herself over.


      Garima may have asked for Dadi's forgiveness for indrectly being responsible for her son's death. Her failure to clear his name would tantamount to a lie, which is why she is feeling guilty but she had to do it to safeguard Khushi.

    3. Opti,
      this makes absolute sense but the Shyam angle confuses me...I know u said that u would rather believe that Shyam is just after wealth and power.....while that is plausible..the narrative hasn't been consistent...it has shown Shyam to be driven by something....

      At the same time, i don't buy the didi ka saut on the khushi aspect becos Shyam did not really know of the Arnav-Khushi deep connection...so anything he did on that angle cannot be shown as a premeditated...u can fall in love....but u can't decide for other people to fall in love...He can be exacting some revenge for something in his past...that does not condone his actions in anyway i am just stating that even people who take the wrong path are driven by propoganda, misplaced sense of injustice etc....yes u don't need a motive to pursue wealth but i would still believe that u must have a motive or atleast u have been brainwashed to think the way that Shyam has done to harm his own tanay/tanvi(son/daughter)

      And if use, he chose to stalk Khushi, came after her, impersonated as an unmarried man...etc...so this story is more jalebi than we think...also the presence of other woman in the funeral...she does not appear to be Garima...the statement by Arnav's mother...u have never loved me...so the trigger is not based on one event, i presume....

    4. Opti,
      Dadi says,

      "Aap tab bhi galat the Arnav"- means you MU-ed your dad?

      "not Arnav's mom for he seems to have witnessed her shooting herself. ":
      They showed her running towards the next room and then the gun shot was heard.
      ASR did not have the fb of his mother holding the gun to her head. That is why I am still hoping....

      Delete
    5. Rekha,

      That woman looked very much like Garima. She did not have her bindi but otherwise the features were very similar. I find this whole revenge mode for Shyam difficult to digest because there was not one scene which showed him voice this and we do have a lound mouthed villian in Shyam. He could have said that the Raizadas will have to pay for what they did to me/my family. All we have seen him rant is that he wants Arnav's wealth at any cost and he wants Khushi. It is only when he was chased out of RM did he says he will get back at them but that is for what they did then.


      Greed and avarice can been strong motivation for anything.

      I wouldn't put too much weight on Anrav's mom's statement 'You have never loved me.' I say it to my hubby even now (after 17 years of marriage and that too when I know he does). When one is angry you say a lot of things you don't mean to. Moreover, Arnav's mom may have felt unloved because his dad was busy at work, the reason why the kids bonded more with their mom than with their dad. That does not mean Arnav's father was having an affair. He sounded genuinely puzzled when his mom was accusing him of breaking their family. There did not seem even a semblance of guilt.

    6. Opti...
      saying things that u don't mean or saying becos u r provoked is one thing...i agree...but taking some drastic action is what i am talking abt...

      even i am married for the same length of time and am i glad that my hubby doesn't take half the things i say in anger seriously..or for that matter neither do i take myself seriously...LOL

      I am not saying that his father was having an affair..its possible his mom had multiple MUs...since MUs happen to run in Raizada/malik household but it will be a real pity if it is all much ado about nothing....i would then want to shake the lady for she did not wait to hear the story....how sad indeed...

      My nayi soch expectation is a bit radical and i know it is not likely to see the light of day..
      I want this story to be about positive endings from negative beginnings...Just becos ur past is dark doesn't mean that ur future can't be bright..esp whenu have such a bright partner by your side...who will make all the dark clouds go away...kya darna....

      U r right that the man genuine seemed puzzled about his wife accusations...in any case...there is darkness in Arnav's past...his mother may be person who is emo fragile...whichever way u look at it...there is some darkness to surmount so be it...let Arnav and Anji make that journey out of that darkness....

    7. "the statement by Arnav's mother...u have never loved me...":

      Dadi- nani:"woh aurat, uss raat"
      This is what is majorly confusing.
      That aurat came and revealed something that shocked dadi and Mrs. Malik. Was she told to do so?: Hum tab bhi jhoot nahi bolna chahte the. But Garima does not seem to carry that kind of guilt. "Hamari ki hui bhool": did she do something wrong? Is it guilt that made her slap Khushi when she mentioned ASR's parent's suicide?

      And what that aurat revealed led to the dialogue between papa and mama maliks?

      "the statement by Arnav's mother...u have never loved me...":Knee jerk reaction to the accusation?

      My kosten is:
      Are there two women?
      One who came and made the revelation and another who preferred to stay inside the veil?
      If Garima was the accusing woman, did she and nani not recognise each other, considering nani would have been there very much for Anji's wedding?

      One thing I know... This mystery is not getting solved any time now.

      Opti,
      On Shyam being a part of the past: I feel he is, since he is also from Lucknow.
      He may have married Anjali and was plotting revenge on the Raizadas when Khushi entered his life. He fell in love with her innocence which is what he had found lacking in the cruel blows life had dealt him?
      This man is severely SCARRED and he will stop at nothing to get his revenge...What did the Maliks do to his family? (OFC, I don't swear by this!)

      Yes, this is a real jalebi!

      phir le aaya dil majboor kya keeje
      raas na aaya rehna door kya keeje
      dil keh raha use maqammal kar bhi aao
      wo jo adhoori si baat baaki hai

      karte hain hum aaj qubool kya keeje
      ho gayi thi jo humse bhool kya keeje
      dil keh raha use mayassar kar bhi aao
      wo jo dabi si aas baaki hai
      wo jo dabi si aanch baaki hai


      kismat ko hai yeh manzoor kya keeje
      milte rahe hum badastoor kya keeje
      dil keh raha hai use musalsal kar bhi aao
      wo jo ruki si raah baaki hai
      wo jo ruki si chaah baaki hai

  25. OPti & Su

    as far as timelines go - the CVs are either not clear on the BFTP or are leaving us hanging on purpose - the whole thing depends on the variance of 4 years - if ODG was 18 as stated in the beginning of the show and highlighted everywhere - then her parents died 4 years after ODB's and if she is 22-23 (as some reports are saying now - such as the khabri guy on the news Channel) then her parents died around the same time as ODB's and either ones could have caused hurt to the other

    i wanted the BFTP to be powerful (worthy of ODB's reactions) - though i loved his reactions - cant help but feel the BFTP (what is revealed so far that is) was kind of a let down - and def. does not put ODB's parents in any flattering light:

    - a mother who was a weak woman - she preferred to kill herself rather than walk out on her husband - that too when her children needed her the most - one was just a teenager, very impressionable and the other on the verge of getting married!

    - a father who was equally weak, if not more - if he was innocent - all the more reason to stay & fight for his name and face in front of his children, NOT kill self and leave both children completely alone! - if he was guilty - i find it hard to believe that he cared enough to kill self

    so am really banking on the CVs to spring out some more googlies and turn the tale on its head!

    Cant decide - am not sure if i want to sacrifice ASR sr so that ODB's judgement was not 'wrong' (and dadi right!) then or if i want ODB to be wrong then and come to be at peace with his dad now!
    But one thing is clear - no wonder why he believed his eyes (and not his heart) on the terrace that day - he saw the 'truth' 14 years ago too and his dad's dying like that only added to his belief that he saw the truth - hence he knew he had to trust what he saw - even when it concerned the woman he loved!

      I am hoping the past is not as tame as it is turning out to be in the FBs...

    2. Mona,
      "Cant decide": Will this make it better? (sine malik Sr. did tell his wife that 'it' was not true.)

      ODB was wrong about the terrace, so he is wrong about his dad also.
      Perfectly fits with "hence he knew he had to trust what he saw" - concerning the woman he loved and his dad too in the past.

      Our hero always gets his first impressions wrong.
      ahem... ahem... shatir dimag, you see.*wink*

  26. ps - just realized something - no one as yet suspects foul play right?
    why did the docs not mention the bleeding feet - infact why did the family not notice it when getting her to hospital???

    1. one more question, what did the doctor tell Arnav and Khushi when he was outside the ward and Khushi was encouraging him to meet Di ?

    2. Mona,
      mentioned this somewhere above.
      What about the blood stains on Anji's bedrom floor and near the stairs? (I'll not be surprised if they overlook these two. But what about the rest of the glass pieces on the mat?...burning kosten....)

    3. Sweetie Su,

      This is the reason i call friday a disjointed stupid episode becos if they don't follow up on these things it is downright silly....Arre ASR shock main hain par HP bhi shock main hain kya?


      That i why i said if they needed to show this...they should not shown it in RM....rather a neutral ground...if they did not have a more creative way to achieve the purpose of Anji losing baby and Shyam causing it....

      Delete
    4. Rekh,
      "Arre ASR shock main hain par HP bhi shock main hain kya?"
      *LOL.*

      You still have not made peace with friday?
      OK. I wondered about neutral ground - thx for explaining.

      Yaar, I guess I am too liberal.
      I am willing to overlook a few 'burning kostens' for the sake of the drama. Redux had this explanation for the glass shard and blood- (Ghausia)- written beautifully, don't know if the makers intended the symbolism.
      Just that the drama with the blood worked big time for me- like some dancer (can't remember who- was it Anarkali?)- the pathos or whatever...and she did this for her cheating, scheming husband...Shyam's evil grin...merry making in the hall....

      Kind of liked the portrayal of the scene, kostens aside.

    Zindagi Ke Safar Mein Guzar Jaate Hain Jo Makaam
    woh phir Nahin Aate, Vo Phir Nahin Aate

    Phool Khilte Hain, Log Milte Hain
    Phool Khilte Hain, Log Milte Hain Magar
    Patjhad Mein Jo Phool Murjha Jaate Hain
    Vo Baharon Ke Aane Se Khilte Nahin
    Kuchh Log Ik Roz Jo Bichhad Jaate Hain
    Vo Hazaron Ke Aane Se Milte Nahin
    Umra Bhar Chahe Koi Pukaara Kare Unka Naam
    Vo Phir Nahin Aate, Vo Phir Nahin Aate
    Zindagi Ke Safar Mein...

    Aankh Dhokha Hai, Kya Bharosa Hai
    Aankh Dhokha Hai, Kya Bharosa Hai Suno
    Doston Shaq Dosti Ka Dushman Hai

    Apne Dil Mein Ise Ghar Banane Na Do
    Kal Tadapna Pade Yaad Mein Jinki
    Rok Lo Ruth Kar Unko Jaane Na Do
    Baad Mein Pyaar Ke Chahe Bhejo Hazaron Salaam
    Vo Phir Nahin Aate, Vo Phir Nahin Aate
    Zindagi Ke Safar Mein...

    Subah Aati Hai, Shaam Jaati Hai
    Subah Aati Hai, Shaam Jaati Hai Yunhi
    Vaqt Chalta Hi Rehta Hai Rukta Nahin
    Ek Pal Mein Ye Aage Nikal Jaata Hai
    Aadmi Theek Se Dekh Paata Nahin
    Aur Pardey Pe Manzar Badal Jaata Hai
    Ek Baar Chale Jaate Hain Jo Din-Raat Subah-O-Shaam
    Vo Phir Nahin Aate, Vo Phir Nahin Aate
    Zindagi Ke Safar Mein..

  28. Song dedication for the love story, hoping it will not get lost in all this high drama:
    (think it has been dedicated in the past, I feel it is very apt for Arhi at this juncture, esp the last stanza)

    Tere mere sapane, ab yek rang hain
    Jahaa bhee le jaaye raahe, hum sang hain
    Mere tere dil kaa, tay thaa yek din milanaa Jaise bahaar aane par, tay hain fool kaa khilanaa o mere jeewan saathee.. ..

    Tere dukh ab mere, mere sukh ab tere
    Tere ye do nainaa, chaand aaur suraj mere
    O mere jeewan saathee.. ..

    Laakh manaa le duniyaa, saath naa ye chhootegaa
    Aa ke mere haathon me, haath naa ye chhootegaa
    O mere jeewan saathee.. ..

  29. Fantastic episode excellent acting by both BS and Anjali in the breakdown scene.

    I am just wondering about the age of Anjali and arnav ..Anjali must be at least 19 or 20 if she is getting married and we know arnav was only 14
    Under normal families it should have been the DUTY of elder sister to look after kid brother .A has just abdicated her duty as elder sister though she is at least 5-6 years older. Does not speak well of her or her sense of responsibility.No wonder most of us cannot sympathise with her ARNAV has had to grow up too fast hence the few kinks (can't think of a better word ).Feel really really sorry for him .He is shouldering burdens which are not his.

    just reiterating that acting by BS was stupendous ..we could not only see the pain in his eyes but feel it in his entire body language.KUDOS to you BS!!!


    Riya.
