6th Sept
Slimeball sulking because buaji et al wouldn't listen to him and are going to RM ... hey bhaggu, man, why would they listen to you? Tum unke lagte hi kya ho? Am glad he's finding out that winding the Raizadas around his little finger with his slippery eel talks is far easier than putting a fast one past Khushi and Buaji - they are far more strong-minded. With Raizads, of course, he has them by their Achilles heel - as long as he has Anjali on his side, nothing can really happen to him.
So Slimeball sulks, and Buaji and Payalji depart. ;-)
Khushi still enthusiastic about her lessons, Anjali moping at the usual phone call from errant husband ... Arnav consoles her, but I think the guy should start getting a little suspicious about his jeeja's frequent disappearances. And liked the little looks Arnav was darting at Khushi - my take, she reminds him of himself at that age, young enthusiastic, idealistic, principled, enjoying all the traditions and rituals of family life, till everything got snatched away from him. So part of his hatred for Khushi is that she seems to symbolise the lost Arnav. And the traits that she shares with him - being strong-minded, fearless, able to face up to him and oppose him - reinforce that.
Have a feeling it's going to be Khushi for whom Arnav finally wears all the traditional clothes his sister keeps gifting him.
Arnav looks at Khushi again before leaving - she's getting very confused at those looks he keeps giving her. Completely at variance with his tone when he deigns to talk to her.
Ok, am really liking the falling-but-fighting-it phase of Arnav - Barun is doing a great job. And it helps that he is so dishy looking!
Side note - liked the cucumber part ... Arnav-Anjali reminiscing about their childhood, old memories Khushi's prepararions bring back ... and loved the way Arnav kept sliding glances at Khushi, as though she reminded him of something very precious, a long-forgotten part of his childhood. Like I always say, one of the reasons Arnav reacts so strongly to Khushi is because she reminds him of himself at a different time, one he is trying to forget.
Buaji and Payal enter, family intros - graciousness all around, nice to watch, including Anjali's apology. And Mami of course, doing her usual nautanki - the buaji-mami scene was a bit forced. And Buaji is in nani's good books cos she likes Laxmi! *rofl* and does double-take at La blah. And Nani is completely embarrassed at having to present La blah as her future bahu.
And hated the next scene - La blah set up a police enquiry to verify 'servant' Khushi to humiliate her completely. Which she succeeded in doing. Hated Blah completely and utterly - to mollify her own insecurities, she had to resort to this to show down Khushi. And disliked the rest of the family members as well, especially Anjali - all they had to say was - not right now, it's a festival, and anyway, who is Blah to call the police? If anyone had to set up an inquiry, it should have been one of the family members. So I simply loved Nani when she stepped in - and adored her even more when she suggested to the police that they 'verify' Blah instead! In typical SP style, Mami and blah got all the dialogues, while the rest of the family was dumbstruck.
And cleverly, the CV's got out of Arnav accusing Khushi or defending her - by making him enter after Khushi's humiliation was over, but in time to witness Blah's. And also liked the fact that Nani got across to him that it was Blah who had called the police, and his glare at Blah at that - no wonder she turned tail and ran. Hope he follows up on that glare, and he doesn't let her off this time with just a figurative slap on the wrist as he's been doing so far. Maybe Khushi's tears will do the trick - he's definitely very susceptible to them.
And again hated Anjali trying to gloss things over - why doesn't she let blah's real face come out in front of Arnav? Is she that convinced that Blah is the right girl for him? Anjali's character is really weak - she's a spoilt little cry-baby who has never grown up.
Liked the little touch of Nani not forgetting her culture and apologising to Buaji.
And that last five second bit of Khushi wiping her tears and Arnav seeing her was amazing *dream* ... the gut wrenching look he had on his face, and then turned quickly and left as she seemed to sense he was there and turned - only to see his retreating back. And then he paused and turned back to look at her, as though to reassure himself she was all right ...
