26th Dec
I was hoping the dance wouldn't come today ... am glad it didn't. Though I did think they would take a day or two to reach the party date ... but it happened over just one episode.
Episode starts with NK trying to persuade Arnav on Khushi's behalf, to make the party a little desi ... Arnav is not interested ... and figures out exactly who's behind NK's ideas. So he calls in Khushi and ticks her off ... he's not interested in desi stuff, only Western stuff is good enough, desipan is so middle class!
Lol ... although I agree Arnav has all the right to decide what party he wants to organise, again his calm assurance to Khushi that it would be the best party of her life smacked of sheer arrogance! And really, Arnav ... desipan is middleclass? You need to wake up and smell the coffee ... desipan right now is the "in" thing! Besides, I rather dislike Indians who look down on their own culture, and think everything Western is superior ... say that it's a theme party, and say it politely ... why call her crazy?! NK looked really taken aback at Arnav's rudeness to Khushi.
Akash sends a letter for Payal through Khushi ... what happened to phone calls? And Khushi is most annoyed about videsi party, it's gonna be boring! Having recently attended one, I can agree! Although I have to say, leave Payal alone, Khushi, she has to get used to attending such things!
Khushi delivers letter to Payal and pretends it's from mamiji, reading it out ... Khushi does a damn good imitation of Mamiji ... cute!!! Buaji as excited as Mamiji, and as disappointed that she's not invited!
Payal is apprehensive that she will look awkward and the odd one out in the party. So Khushi tries to persuade Arnav yet again ... a slight desi touch, please? Just to make Payal a little comfortable? But Arnav is adamant ... nope, he's not going to take any suggestion of Khushi's, and if she doesn't like it, she needn't come. As it is, he never invited her.
Ooohhh, Khushi, can you please just stay away from the party?! Such a douchebag!
And Khushi decides to do exactly that ... she won't go. Good for her ... I really wish though, that she'd stuck to her resolve!
Skip next evening to party already ... Payal looking very pretty and sophisticated with her hair up, Khushi pretends her foot is sprained, so Payal has to go alone, and she is apprehensive. Khushi as usual puts on a cheerful face, hiding her real feelings.
Khushi's oneliner today ... "Shakahari hain! Aapki Payaliya ko kha nahin jayenge!" But she does feel bad at Buaji's words - Payal is uncomfortable still among the Raizadas, and Khushi is not, she should have gone with Payal.
I was very disappointed that Arnav didn't appear to be missing Khushi at all ... and Barun needs to improve his enunciation! Today his accent grated.
Payal is uncomfortable, and also a little bored! She really would have felt more comfortable with Khushi around! It's pretty uncomfortable when you don't know a soul at a party, especially for a person who is shy and quiet.
NK calls Khushi - are you planning a late entry? Khushi has an idea to spice up the boring party ... with a very willing NK!
So was NK also getting equally bored at this hot and happening cocktail party? And again, I wish Khushi had left Arnav's party alone, and decided to organize one of her own, with NK's help, for Akash Payal. Would have been more effective than hijacking Arnav's ...
NK chats with Payal, tells her she can call him Nanhe like Khushi does ... Arnav gives him a sideways look. Again, disappointed not to see more of a reaction from Arnav. NK mentions he's waiting for his date.
Khushi arrives all hot and flustered, looking ravishing in deep blue ...so she wasn't invited by Arnav but she was invited by NK all right ... she has perfect right to be there, and I hope NK tells Arnav that tomorrow - that she's there as his date, no less! The way Arnav is behaving like a douchebag, I want a full fledged close friendship between NK and Khushi ... burn, baby, burn! Really annoyed at his reactions today! Even more than at Khushi's ... though I wished she hadn't hjacked Arnav's party. She should have let it be the boring high class sophisticated do it was meant to be!
Precap scene is interesting ... will happen after the dance, of course, but how do they reach this point? Is he annoyed because NK said Khushi was his date? And I hope Khushi tells him that yes, she is happy her engagement has broken, and he can make of that what he wants to.

dia,
ReplyDeletesorry couldn't post on friday's epi, actually not much to write about was it, just a build up for THE Party.
TOTALLY with you, I was highly irritated with Arnav yesterday. He didn't miss Khushi at all, not even a polite inquiry about her whereabouts or just a tad disappointed that she didn't come when Payash entered....GRRR..
Khushi: She did do the right thing initially by deciding not to come to the party. Once again proving just like in the ring incident where she refused to apologize, that self respect is important to her. Unfortunately for her, her family compulsions always force her to abandon her self respect. If buaji didn't mention Payal and Payal herself didn't sound so morose, I am sure she would have stayed away. I felt bad for her yesterday, she can go any lengths for her family always sacrificing her life her respect in the process.
You know the person I was MOST Furious with - Payal. Why was she sulking sooooooo much? DUHHHHH..Her Devar has so tactfully thrown this party, the kind which she would have to attend in future as Raizada Wife. She should have tried more. Poor Akash, he kept on asking are you bored, are you bored - Khushi would have had more grace if she had attended with Arnav in the same situation.
Precap: Well was kinda expected. I can safely say this here, I didn't like Khushi's dance or the song. I mean somehow it made Khushi like an Item girl who is conservatively dressed. I mean why would you dance like that in front of your Jijaji's & Arnav's friends private party. It is one thing if it is a wedding, but the whole thing just didn't sit well with me. Maybe the song sequence might be good and everyone will like it, but somehow it seemed out of character in the sense for all the sanskar lecture she gave, this was equivalent to the character dheela dance. Sorry dia, I actually was hoping arnav would see her in a different light, her adjusting in the party with dignity and grace intact*very disappointed*
Anyway, this is a good opportunity for her to say,you know why I am so bloody happy cos I didn;t want to get engaged in the first place and I am happy cos I found it just in time that the creep was already married and even if she cannot say it was Shyam, she can atleast say She broke it off.
Also, maybe this is a good opportunity for introspections too on both ends. Anyway a Rabba ve I am sure is round the corner, so I guess the build up albeit an emotionally tensed one would make it that much worthwhile.
I didnt note the desipan thing he said. He also deserves a a bit of smack if he thinks Desi is middle class.
Letter: DUMB..Like you said he could have called her up and still Payalji and not Payal??? The good thing is show is coming back on track and hopefully the new year will see a wardrobe up gradation for Arnav.
Love comments from both of u
ReplyDeleteDia, rewatched the epi again. So have got more to add:)
ReplyDeleteLoved the way he called Khushiiiii...Sadda Haqq in full mode after his I know you are outside kkg.
Yes, Payal lightened up a bit towards the end with the boring dialogue,for some strange reason I missed it during the epi. Now my Q is seeing Khushi dance like this what would she do, would she be embarassed, scold Khushi, what? Somehow whatever Arnav says I still feel he always has Khushi's best interest in mind unlike the G Family. Payal unfortunately has been inconsistent in this regard a bit.
Anyway Rabba ve on its way, if it is going to happen on the same nite, well chances are Arnav might ask Khushi to stay back to help him wind off the party or he will insist on dropping Khushi and by the time they head home, I am sure some progress must have happened. Saree ke saath Rabba ve na ho, kinda impossible isn't it, lol?
Heyy Diya...exactly my complaint with the epi...arnav didn't even realise that khushi was missing from the party...seemed least concerned when nk.mentioned her name...how is there story to progress if they keep missing out on such small yet important scenes? So m completely with ya for arnav - burn baby burn!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteDia, interesting epi. Will wait for your take tomorrow. Finallyyyy...a proper jealous arnav, NK has no idea what he has come in between, his expressions were WT, when Arnav threatened him,rofl.
ReplyDeleteThanks, all for commenting ... loved reading all the takes! Have been busy with guests but my friend watches IPK also *rofl* so we're not missing that! Will be back with replies after tomorrow ;-) Now waiting for today's episode - five more minutes here.
