14/6 - Epi 7 ... Clash of wills

And so the clash begins - a clash of wills between two equally stubborn, self-willed people, both equally set in their beliefs. What I liked about this confrontation - for the first time BS showed some signs of acting ;)

Seriously ... what I liked was that Arnav has actually started to notice Khushi ... as an irritating fly, maybe, but there is a grudging, unconscious recognition of her will and her khuddari. Liked the dialogues - except for the fact that the scene started as though it was in the middle of the arguement, not at the start ... they should have had a few seconds of 'tum' 'aap' ... some recognition of each other, before Khushi started off on her lecture about how he ruined her life and caused her exile to Delhi ...

However, I guess they wanted to show them at cross-purposes at the start - though again, another first, the misunderstanding took very little time to actually clear up ... both knew exactly what the other was talking about. Arnav didn't seem surprised that Khushi knew he was responsible for the news clips, is that part of his recognition of an equal opponent, or just a blooper?

After that part, the scene was interesting ... as is usual for Sanaya, no raised voices or loud screaming and yelling (even Sakshi in BALH couldn't manage this!) ... and Arnav was the same. He seemed to be actually enjoying the argument, knowing he was easily the victor, but as though it's been a long time since someone actually challenged him. Hence that smirk, and the scornful offer of money - adding insult to injury - I don't want your money, because I know you're not of that stature to be able to afford it ... so here, take some money from me instead! Very dismissive, very insulting ... far more so than actually demanding that Khushi pay him for the damage. And then Khushi's self-respect and khuddari are of course called into question, so she vows she will pay him back somehow - preferably slap the money on his face.

A clash of equals ... in spite of difference in status, in position, in wealth ... their wills are equal to each others'. Both strong, stubborn characters ... opposite ideologies, maybe but similar characters. Should one even call this a simple cliched meeting of opposites? They both seem very similar in nature ... which is the interesting part.

Rest to be updated later - this was the part I liked best. The rest degenerated into inane comedy ... watchable because it was Sanaya for the most part, but Bua is getting irritating. Arnav's family comes in ... edit later.
