All about symbolism ... Arnav breaking Khushi's fast, although inadvertantly ... symbolising that whether they want it or not, whether they realise it or not, Arnav and Khushi are bound to each other. This is probably what Sanaya was talking about in the segments ... the inadvertant breaking of the fast, symbolising that Arnav is Khushi's future husband.
And the second piece of symbolism ... Khushi returning Anjali's thali to her ... saying that this was your amanat, how could I have kept it, I had to bring it back to you.
So starts with Arnav carrying Khushi ... thankfully the bit about the standing faint was minimal ...
Payal returns the thali ... Anjali asks her to stay and light the diyas with them, much to Akash's delight, and Mami's and La's annoyance.
Arnav breaks Khushi's fast with water ... this bit was beautifully done ... the way he says her name in a worried tone. When Khushi is unconscious, Arnav feels no need to hide his concern and worry ... but as soon as she recovers, he dons his mask quickly. And the breaking the fast bit was beautifully done - as he holds the glass to her lips, his other arm protectively around her back, the conch shells and temple bells sound in the background ...a jodi meant to be, sanctioned by Shiva-Parvati in their own temple ...
but Khushi is not grateful at all *lol* ... she's most worried how could she break her fast before the puja ... and as usual she blasts Arnav. The face off in the guesthouse definitely changed equations completely ... also she's no longer working for him ... so now every time they meet, it's as equals ...
And Arnav doesn't hold back either - he's indignant, can't believe it, she's misunderstanding him yet again! You were unconscious, woman! What was I supposed to do? and I didn't even know you were fasting ...
Khushi doesn't think that's good enough, she takes off and apologises to Devi maiyya that she broke her fast inadvertantly, making it clear to the listening Arnav that she's still blaming him *rofl* ... then walks off in a huff, spoiled by the fact that she staggers and almost faints again. And apna hero is waiting for just this ... he grabs her again, pulls her close, and she's lost again ... but he's angry ... 'learn to walk two steps before you shoot your mouth off.' And he doesn't back off ... stays very close, eyes firmly unblinking on her, as though to tell her he will support her if she needs it, and there's nothing she can do about it. Asserting his authority on her ... without even realising what he's doing. But she does realise dimly what he's saying, what he's doing ... finally, slowly, she backs away, he doesn't stop her, just waits, not looking at her. She looks away, disurbed, confused by the turmoil raging inside her ... and without looking at him, she walks away. Only then does he raise his gaze to look at her. As though wondering ... why can I not let her go? Why,when she is hurt, upset, does it hurt me? Why do her words hurt me?
The next bit was again beautifully done ... and kudos to the actors, especially Sanaya, for the confusion in her face all through, the stolen glances, Khushi's worried, confused, Arnav's mask back in place, but even he couldn't help the looks ... and every time they looked at each other almost at the same time, as though they knew when the other was looking. When Anjali cajoles Khushi into staying, Khushi protests, Arnav stands at a distance, pretending not to listen. Khushi looks at him, as though checking his response, but he's not looking and she's still confused as to what to do. And then Payal agrees, and Khushi can't do anything, but she looks at Arnav yet again, and this time, he's looking back at her, and there is absolutely no anger in his eyes at all .. just an unfamiliar softness. And she looks away again hurriedly ...and doesn't protest again ...
Anjali still worried about missing husband, Arnav tries to call him, husband answers phone and says he's close by. Shyam calls Khushi and tells her she and Payal should leave the temple soon.
Pooja ... Arnav standing behind Khushi, Khushi very aware of him, his gaze keeps flitting to her ...
And Anjali still waiting for hubby.
Tomorrow will be the unveiling of hubby ... in all probability, it is Shyam.

Hi Diya, m back again..well actually i've been reading ur post most regularly..infact, i enjoy them just as much as i enjoy the show!! its like a daily addiction - at 8pm i wait for the show and next day in office i check-in to ur blog to read ur update :)))
ReplyDeleteand have to say, for me, u (thru ur posts) add so much meaning to the show, to each scene that it makes me wanna go back and rewatch the episode so i can see it the way u put it down over here..
and this is exactly the reason y i have been forced (out of my laziness ;D) to post this comment..wanted to do it from office the day i read this post but somehow the stupid firewalls there only allow me to read and not to comment..anyways,here goes..
when i saw this episode on the tv, i enjoyed it on the whole cuz it was full of arshi scenes..but somehow that 2nd arshi scene whr khushi runs away after blasting arnav for breaking her fast and arnav grabs her again and holds onto to her for a while, it seemed kinda blank cuz i just didnt get the reason behind it UNTIL i read ur post..and u described the unsaid emotions, feelings b/w the two of them so well that now i totally see its purpose..
this was just one example, there are loadsa other scenes which for me have been brought to life just cuz of ur blog...so THANK YOU very much for posting ur thoughts out here..for someone like me, who cant read too much into ppl's eyes (well, not all the time), its a gr8 pleasure to read ur posts..its like when u read a book and comprehend and feel the emotions through the author's words..thats wot ur blog does for me..
and thats y, now seeing the show by itself aint enuf..i have to read ur daily update to complete my episode :))
anyways, i hope i havent bored u with this long comment..just that i always wanted to thank u for ur efforts and finally this update got me to the task! :)))
and i have always said this before and will keep saying the same - please keep ur insights coming..i just love love love reading them..u truly are a gifted writer and i just cant get enuf of wot u have to say! :DDD
cheers!
Shilpi
ps: keep reading ur posts on IF as well but its so difficult to comment there...and ya, this reminds me, i owe another HUGE THANKS to u for ur ff, WUAS..for writing such a beautiful story, for giving us another look at sajan outside of mjht, for keeping their characters intact throughout, for keeping sajan alive even after the show had ended and lastly for giving us a complete story with a wonderful ending and not leaving us hanging in the middle ;))) it's a incredible achievement..so KUDOS to YOU!!!
oops...just realised..my comment outran ur post ;))) sorry, but it was long due! hope u dun mind :)
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks so much ... am so glad you're enjoying my posts! I write more freely here than on IF ;) and it's really nice to know that someone else is liking them as well!
ReplyDeleteAnd no need for thanks for WUAS ... I loved writing it! Hopefully I will write something else soon, though whether on Samrat-Gunjan or Arnav-Khushi, I don't know! At the moment, I'm happy with the way the story is going in IPKKND, but once the bloopers start, I might be complelled to write something! But am so glad you liked WUAS ... it is very close to my heart!
Hi Dia, I am a recent fan of IPKKND. Discovered this show couple of months ago and have already watched it twice. I bumped into your blog and love reading your comments!
