13/6 - Epi 6 ... Delhi - Hurricane Khushi hits

So episode starts with Khushi scolding Devi maiyya - hey bhagwan, yeh ladki kisi ko nahin chodti! Knight in shining armor and Dabang bracelet re-appears, maroes some flirty dialogues, gives Khushi his card (Shyam M Jha) and leaves. Khushi feels kindly disposed to the guy, even though he looks quite a namoona, but he has muscle power - always useful.

Girls tearful about leaving, babuji feeds them dahi, but mother doesn't say a word, and Khushi is distraught. Have a feeling this adopted mother-daughter bond might reveal some secrets later. They have some nice understated scenes between them and both Sanaya and the mother are excellent actors.

And so delhi, here we come. Rest of the episode was mainly comedic - the pace has already slowed down. Only problem, this bears the GH stamp, which does not really bode well for the future if they want to make this an intense show. Anyway, it was enjoyable, Bua is another decent actress, even though OTT, and her comedic flavour came to the forefront - and Sanaya is a revelation in comedy! I always said that she can't do nautanki, but give her even halfway subtle scenes and she will shine - she does just that. So Bua and Khushi take over the second half of the episode, including the rickshaw tug-of-war, the bit where Khushi 'accidentally on purpose' bangs the rickshaw driver's head while removing the luggage, and then sweetly says 'maaf kijiye, bhaiyaji' - the inflection on the word bhaiya :) And the rickshaw driver of course behaving like typical uncouth Delhi lafanga ... blech - I hate such people, and unfortunately they do exist. Just wish Bua would stop her high decibels though - seems like she hasn't heard that you don't have to be LOUD to be heard! I actually turn down the volume when she speaks!

Arnav-Anjali scene ... better acting now, they seem to be settling into their roles more, but still have long way to go to catch up with the Gupta khandaan! Khushi and her family are definitely the better actors. Arnav's nastik nature emphasized again, as well as his concern for his sister ... he is man of few words, and it's better that way!

Back to Khushi Payal giggling away over their bua's idiosyncracies, some nokjhok between Khushi & Bua, then phone call from home. And Sanaya again slips effortlessly from comedy to serious, missing her parents, lovely scene between Garima and Khushi, more unsaid than said - these two really belong to the same school of acting, understated, subtle, silences that speak more than words.

Khushi Payal clean their room, dust the comforter right onto Bua, precipitating asthma attack, so Khushi 'borrows' the neighbour's scooter to get a new pump.

One attention to detail I liked - Payal calls Khushi to tell her to come back, cos Bua found a pump - so for the accident scene that's gonna follow, I won't be fretting about Khushi fighting with Arnav, forgetting that Bua is huffing away at home. Just a small detail, but am glad they put it in.

And then Khushi bangs against Arnav's car. What is he doing in such a down market area anyway?
So tomorrow will be the next face-off.
