No wonder why Arnav looks as though he's perpetually swallowed some bitter medicine ... with namoonas surrounding him at home and at office! Starting with detective Naani, sister who's perpetually blowing pooja smoke at him and mami going 'hello hi bye bye' ... by the way, what happened to sister being his support in office and working with him? Cv's seem to have forgotten all that. Then in office, Arnav has Lame ma'am and her brainless cohort of Sam and Pam ... they make Khushi look intelligent!
And what on earth what that office scene all about ... Khushi looks as though she has never seen an office or girls in short skirts all her life - I thought her main ambition was to sit home and watch tv? Hasn't she seen them on TV at least? Chalo, chhodo, maybe she never thought such namoonas existed in real life ... like I said, compared to what followed, Khushi actually seemed intelligent! The only major fault I had to find with her was the clapping hands over eyes bit ... would have thought she would be staring avidly to pick up pointers.
So then follows the stupidest office scene, where Lame ma'am, who is apparently Arnav's right hand girl, fires her new assistant because she makes Lame look lame ... and appoints Khushi because Khushi looks lamer. Interspersed with Sam and Pam fussing over Lame's skin and hair and spots, and poking fun at Khushi because she's wearing Indian clothes and speaking Hindi, while the dress code in the office appears to be mini skirts and not much else. CV's ... really??? These kind of scenes went out at least a couple of decades ago. Can't you get even a semblance of realism into the office scenes?
The only positive I found - after hunting frantically for some positives to redeem Sanaya's choice of show - was that Khushi stuck her ground and didn't budge from the office till she got a hearing ... but without creating much of a scene or hullabaloo. Just hope this is San's stepping stone to bigger things - to more professional PH's and better shows. I think within two weeks, she has proved she can do all variety of roles, the silly, vapid Khushi as well as the dignified, intelligent Gunjan - read, silent, self-sacrificing bhartiya nari types (though Sanaya made Gunjan one with a difference). Two ends of the spectrum- and really, that's all Indian tv has to offer, such is the dearth of imagination here.
Interspersed with some scenes at Arnav's home where Naani doing jasoosi to find out who is Arnav's girlfriend, Anjali doing some pooja yet again - really girl, this is positively unhealthy, the amount of time you spend in pooja-path. More than your nani does for sure ... mami of course only believes in worshipping earthly pleasures.
Deja vu of MJHT - I gave up watching that show in two weeks ... maybe I should do the same here, and come back when the love story starts. If Khushi grows some brains by then ... I cannot sit through a re-hash of Armaan-Riddhima and MN ... with oh-so-cute nokjhoks and silly fights. Would rather watch the SG story again on youtube. Brings home to me yet again why I loved that story so much.

On the other hand, Maryada continues to hold my interest - so SSP is putting Uttara on a guilt trip, and Roshnee Devi brings her son for dinner. And Priya continue to spy silently, while Devyani continues to hold everything together, though it's becoming more and more of a struggle. Vidya, in the meantime, is trying to bring Gaurav and Aarti together, Aarti feels guilty like hell, but can't do anything about it till Gaurav decides to tell Vidya his secret. Which should be very soon, the way things are going, or Vidya in her drive to right the wrong she committed, will end up creating another messy situation.
