19th Sept
So things have started getting better ... hope this is maintained ... the last few episodes have been well-knit and the tempo good. And today was a good mix of everything - although I seriously think the cv's are throwing in Arshi scenes everyday to keep viewers happy, now that their chemistry has been acknowledged even by a leading daily newspaper! Obviously online viewers are not the only ones hankering for Arshi chemistry - they really lift the episode together and their sheer presence in the same frame, sets the screen on fire!
So starting with the continuation of the dupatta scene from Friday ... as the dupatta falls over Khushi, a conch sounds in the background, making it very obvious this is a Devi maiyya sign, like the Teej breaking the fast one was. Leaving Khushi totally stunned for once, remembering her own words to La ... but how can that be?! How can even be possible ... no, it can't ...
And then Arnav strides out, in a temper as usual, and then stops suddenly seeing Khushi in the dupatta ... don't tell me he knows this superstition as well?! Or is he just mesmerised by the sight of her as she slowly takes the dupatta off her head, confusion written on her face ... and as she unveils her face like a new bride does and he stares at her like a groom would, the unspoken tension between them sparks again, the nervousness on her face as she drops her gaze, while he keeps looking intently at her ... the way they played this scene, I could so vividly imagine a wedding night scene with the identical expressions, the shyness and nervousness on her face, while he stares at her mesmerised ... beautifully done by both actors! And she takes it off her head completely, still nervous, confused, both at the sign and at his look, while he looks at her, then seems to shake himself and walk away, leaving her standing there bemused ... what is happening? And the last stolen look again, which is becoming a trademark ... before he walks off, while she tries to get back to reality ...
La comes rushing out all upset because the sign didn't work for her, and she pulls the dupatta out of Khushi's hand, Khushi lets go with some reluctance, as though the dupatta and the sign were meant for her ... then she comes back to reality, because La, her new friend is upset, and Khushi being Khushi, can't let anyone around her be upset for too long.
Raizadas at breakfast, Nani says La has had enough time, Mami wants more time for La, Nani says Mami is going on a 'maun vrat'. Arnav's expression is hilarious, Mamaji actually rises from his chair in alarm, till mami gestures it's not true ... he subsides in relief - the sun would have to rise in the west, pigs fly and all that before Mami kept quiet! Mamaji's expressions are hilarious!!! Nani asks where Khushi is - interesting dialogue - Anjali bitiya, where is Khushi bitiya ... nani is not going to let Khushi leave RM in a hurry. And Arnav looks up again at Khushi's name ... her name itself sets his antenna off, let alone her presence!
Arnad decides to find La before he leaves for office, only to find that Khushi in trying to cheer up La (cute scene between the girls and hilarious dance to Ladki badi hai Kamaal ki ... San's expressions when taunting ASR's pic were hilarious!) ... the girls look like they were errant schoolgirls caught by a headmaster :P.
Fortunately for Khushi, she gets a phone call to come home before any eruption can happen, La actually is sweet enough to ask what the matter is, and as Khushi rushes off, ASR seems to forget his anger in his worry for her ... so I guess that's how La escaped retribution right away.
But she doesn't for long - she goes ahead with Khushi's plan to propose to ASR in front of his family - while that will get her major Brownie points from Nani, what will it do to her relationship with ASR? Poor La, she is really caught in a bind now!
In the meantime, Khushi rushes home, where Sneakster Shyam has organised for her parents to come to town ... now is he hoping they will persuade Khushi to leave her job? Or does he want to start the marriage talks and get the right to stop Khushi from working at RM?
Am I being optimistic in feeling that Khushi's parents don't seem overly impressed with Shyam? Hope they don't agree to the match ... and with Khushi's new found friendship with La, and truce with ASR, she has no reason to leave her job till Nani tells her she is done. Which I don't think nani is going to do in a hurry - even if Arnav agrees to La's proposal, nani will find more work for Khushi at RM!
Also, Khushi's parents' reaction ... is it less to do with Shyam and more to do with Khushi's past? So they can't allow her wedding to just anyone, because she is not who they say she is?
So La calls Khushi in panic, Khushi reassures her yet again, and thinks of another plan! Lolzzz, Khushi, take a break!
And then Arnav calls ... I *rofl*ed and *aww*ed at the scene at the same time ... he says her name menacingly, she says "aap?!" he says "haan, main." No need for either of them to ask who's on the line!
And liked the precap - so ASR has gotten used to someone answering him back ... just terrorising people is no longer enough for him, he wants a good fight! And the only one who can give it to him is Khushi!

Hey Dia........
ReplyDeletehad the same thoughts on seeing the precap......he is getting so used to khushi........we feel that the story isnt progressing but i think this pace is required, for a person like ASR to fall in love and realise it and last but not the least.........acknowledge it.........
:D
again, an awesome post, as usual.........m so addicted to ur post, just like the serial :)
Thanks, Geetu! I think the story IS progressing ... slowly ... but then, this is a daily soap, it will take at least a year to come to the climax point. I watch Maryada as well, and that is exactly a year old, or slightly less, and it's now that the different threads are starting to pull together.
ReplyDeleteBesides, like you said, for a person like ASR to fall in love, realise his feelings, and then acknowledge them ... will take a long time ... you forgot ... he will fight his feelings tooth and nail as well ... so even longer! And I don't think Khushi will give in very soon either because both are hotheaded and tempestuous personalities.
Should be fun to watch ... what really makes it good is the actors ... I love watching Barun and Sanaya on screen ... they're a great pair!
