20/9 - Epi 79 ... Shades of Khushi

20th Sept

Shades of Khushi today ... from childlike, innocent, carefree, to orphan with an unknown past, to gossiping girlfriend, and back to naughty, not-wanting to be found out child ... Her parentage came up again today for the first time after the first week's episodes, re-emphasizing that she's an orphan ... is that going to play a part in the non-happening Shyam-Khushi rishta track?

So starts with ASR's annoyed phone call to a worried Khushi - how does she get out of this one? Because if she lets her parents know she's being yelled at, or that she has goofed up yet again, it might be goodbye to her job, and at present, she is the only earning member of the family. So simple solution, she bluffs her way out, then carefully disconnects the line ... tomorrow she will have to face his wrath, but for today, she can enjoy her time with her parents.
ASR left spluttering at the other end of the line ... I thought the guy would have the decency to ask if everything was all right after the way she rushed off ... but nope, he's too furious at the havoc Khushi has created ... yet again ... in his carefully constructed life. He had decided on a live-in relationship, despite knowing his family's disapproval, he had warned La not to change, specially not into that wretched KKG-type, he didn't want marriage, and had silenced his family's complaints, and brainwashed/browbeaten La as well ... from where has this girl come and ruined his all his plans? She's even changed La and gotten her convinced that she wants marriage! And of course he knows La doesn't have the brains to think long term about repurcussions of living in ... it has to be Khushi who has brainwashed her ... Khushi with her middle class morality and her intereference in Arnav's life! Why does his Di like Khushi so much ... if it wasn't for Di, he would have thrown Khushi out ages ago ... and never brought her back! Now his hands are tied ... and his blood is boiling ... he's spoiling for a fight!
Which La doesn't give him ... and when he attempts to browbeat her again about marriage, she throws his clothes down ... she actually dares to defy him ... and walks out of the room on him. Just like she does  ... Khushi Kumari Gupta, you have a lot to answer for!

Liked the scene where Khushi tries to return Shyam's money ... her self-respect is intact, and she has no feelings for Shyam, other than simple friendly ones ... doesn't like his feeling bad, but isn't ready to respond to obvious emotional blackmail ... her caution when he said he'd asked her for something, forced him to clarify ... just a cup of tea ... no, she's not making any promises she can't keep. Not except to ASR, because only ASR riles her to the point that she can't think straight!

La brings lunch for ASR, he sends her back ... not nice, ASR ... not in front of office staff/clients. Bad manners.
Khushi and family at dinner - cute, fun, masti, everyone happy to be together, except for Babuji, who is obviously upset. Is he upset at being brought here, upset at Khushi's having to work, upset at his own joblessness ... or all?

La at night ... she wants marriage now, and ASR is seriously annoyed with Khushi ... rightly laying the blame where it belongs!

Khushi and her Babuji ... talk again on Khushi being an orphan, and doing all she can for her family ... because they're all she has. And her optimism ... yes, they will manage, they will be together, they will be fine.

Next morning ... Anjali and nani preparing for another pooja, ASR joins, Anjali asks him what he's thought about marriage, La still in KKG avatar ... ASR doesn't want to hear the word. End of story ... no one dare question him. Khushi enters, to her dismay, ASR is still home ... his glare promises retribution, so she drags a relieved La to the kitchen asap ... cutting him off yet again ... sigh, this girl will never learn!

Kitchen ... La starts confiding in Khushi straight away ... Khushi replies about Laad Governer, Anjali is amused, La leaves, Khushi embarassed, Anjali leaves and Arnav enters ... all within the space of about three seconds *rofl* ... did they apparate and disapparate or what?! And again, Arnav is most annoyed about ... what? That Khushi cut his call *rofl* He is as bad as Khushi ... forgets to think when she's around ... dude, you were supposed to fire her about the marriage thing, not the call !!!
Khushi decides discretion is the better part of valour, because she's in for trouble - La just warned her ASR is spoiling for a fight ... she drops the tin of atta, Mami is her unlikely saviour, ASR decides he won't fire her in front of Mami (maybe because he knows Mami would be the only person actually delighted to hear him, and would probably add her tadka) ... with a final glare, he leaves ... and Khushi heaves a sigh of relief ... saved for the moment!His backward glare promises retribution ... he's not done yet.

Khushi's parents are not very convinced about the alliance with Shyam ... although Buaji is doing her best to convince them. Hope Khushi puts her foot down, because looks like Buaji is winning this one. :(

Chamkili 1 and 2 ... best of friends ;-) La warns Khushi about impending storm ... Khushi decides to go out and buy the bulb ... will take her out of the house - and firing range - for a bit ...
So she thinks, but Arnav has a radar where she is concerned ... now he's got her alone and will not leave her ... she has to stand and listen to him ... hey bhaggu, ASR, call attend kar lo ... jab deho call cut karke, he wants to talk to Khushi! Aise business kaise chalega ?! So Khushi pretends to faint ... poor guy gets genuinely worried, so when she asks for water, he actually runs ... and so does she ... in the opposite direction. And boy, he is even madder than before ... she is really in for it now!

  1. Hey Dia.........

    seriously didn't like khushi faking the faint and tricking arnav..........though i hate arnav ranting about her aukaat and how girls like her having a habit of tricking others for money,
    i felt tricking him this way, will prove him right in his mind....

  2. Geetu,

    I didn't mind it so much ... I disliked the OTT cryin during the apology scene more ... this was ok, I felt, at least it seemed more in tune with Khushi's character. And even Arnav very definitely knew that it was only out of fright that Khushi was avoiding him (from today's episode), which is why he made sure to corner her when she came back ... I don't think he thought it to be her tricking him. He's only angry that she refuses to talk to him!
