Mixture of saas bahu drama - no comments on Payal-Manodrama ...
and completely adorable super cute fulltoo Arshilicious scenes - Arnav full on flirting mode ... what exactly is he up to? Has he decided he's serious about Khushi, or is he just enjoying the game, enjoying pushing her buttons? Or a bit of both?
I'm sitting on the fence and enjoying the show - on the one hand, going awww over adorably confused Khushi - she looks super cute and completely kissable in her current confused, embarrassed, blushing tomato red state, so am not surprised Arnie baby succumbed to temptation! And on the other hand, I'm all for Arnav, giving him a big thumbs up ... you go, man! Go get her ... confuse her, torment her, tease her till she doesn't know whether she's on her head or her heels and then ... kiss her senseless and you're home dry!
Precap - so the whole family knows she has an A on her hand ... and Arnav doesn't seem at all perturbed ... if anything, he's smirking even more than ever! Boss, that's supposed to be her future husband's initial, you do realize that, don't you?
*edited*
This was actually one of the BEST episodes ... some fabulous Arhi scenes, each one so different and all completely beautiful to watch. And the acting, especially Sanaya's today, just lift this show to another level.
First Arhi scene - continued from yesterday ... another wheel turns full circle ... when she disappeared, he was frantic, and let his concern show to La ... which finally led to the end of that relationship. Now he disappeared, and she is frantic ... and she lets her concern show ... to him directly. Much to his complete delight ...
So she turns and sees him ... the slightest of smiles on his face as he's obviously over heard the last of her rant ... so you missed me, honey?
And Khushi lets loose ... where were you, why are you quiet, when did you go, why didn't you tell anyone, I've been trying to call you for how long ...
Why?
And she stops in her tracks at that quiet why ...
Why does it make a difference to you if I went off?
It makes a difference! Farak padta hai! I was worried ...
For me? A step closer.
She still doesn't notice...
Yes! For you!
Oh really? A step closer ... and another ... and she suddenly gets all nervous again ... steps back as he steps forward ... silently, like a predator, he's got her where he wants her, she admitted it ...
She stumbles as she backs ... and tries to backtrack ... no ... I ... Anjaliji ...
Careful, Khushi ... just as she stumbles ... or I might think you were worried about me ...
She backtracks as much as possible after that damning almost-confession ... Not me, Anjaliji ... I said ...
Anjali interrupts, and Arnav's face actually shows irritation at the appearance of his beloved Di ... As Anjali goes all goo gaa over her missing Chotey, he coolly tells her not to overreact ... and adds, for the benefit of a quickly retreating Khushi ... Actually, I'm glad I went, I got to know how much I'm missed.
And as Khushi leaves quickly, and Anjali tells him to come for tea, he nods, and looks after Khushi with a very satisfied smile on his face.
Tea time ... Payal offers to take tea for a sulking Manodrama, and Khushi realises with horror that she's got an A on her hand, and also remembers exactly how it happened. =)) Just as Arnav appears.
Arnav finally hears Khushi's frantic voice-mail asking him to come back ... as Khushi rushes to the kitchen to take off that A before anyone sees it.
No such luck, of course ... Arnav tracks her down at once.
Sanaya was BRILLIANT in this scene and Barun was the perfect foil ... her nervous, blustering, 'couldn't be more obviously lying' denial =)) - no, I didn't call you ... and his knowing smirk as he plays her voice mail much to her horror... so you were worried ... did you think I'd vanished?
And as she holds up her hand, he sees the A immediately ... this man has superhero vision for all things Khushi :"> ... and that's his next ammunition ... why have you got an A on your hand then? And he holds her hand as casually as though he's been holding it all his life ... and will continue holding it as long as he wants ...
Yet another denial ... I have an A in my name too ... Khushi Kumaaari Guptaaaa ... oh god, Sanaya was brilliant in this scene ... I cracked up at this one ... =)) =)) =))
and Arnav almost did too, one could see the effort it took him not to laugh ... this must have been a riot to shoot for both Barun and Sanaya =))
NK interrupts, otherwise am sure the kiss would have happened then and there ... :) Arnav is visibly annoyed at the interruption, he was totally enjoying Khushi's madness there ... Khushi still flustered, then she sees Arnav's annoyance with NK's appearance, and she makes full use of it ... walking off with him, laughing with him at the table ... till Arnav can't stand it any more and he actually leaves in a huff.
NK goes to get his camcorder, Nani wants to give Payal kangan, so Khushi is dispatched to fetch them from Arnav's room ... Khushi slightly nervous, because she just can't handle this new, changed Arnav, she has no clue where she is with him any more ...
Arnav pacing up and down remembering how comfortable Khushi is with NK ... he is annoyed ... I think it was less jealousy of NK as a guy, and more about NK impinging on his time with Khushi, a time he enjoys more and more ... that he wants more and more ... he wants Khushi to himself, he enjoys those verbal battles with her, especially as he's getting the upper hand, he enjoys watching her blush and squirm, and yet fight back .... she delights him, makes his heart feel lighter, makes him want to laugh, to love ...
Khushi enters his room cautiously, and brightens to see he's not there. Picks up the kangan box and makes to leave quickly ... too quickly. One kangan goes flying into the pool. And the third Arhilicious scene starts ... a simply beautiful one ...
Her mehndi-colored hand dips into the pool to reach for the kangan ... just short ... and another hand joins hers, reaching the kangan effortlessly and pulling it out ... in a scene reminiscent of the game played by newly-weds to find a ring in a bowl of milk .... the one who gets the ring first will dominate the relationship. But here, he gets it first, he drops it back, and she picks it out again. So will the balance of power in their relationship seesaw between them? Or will it be always equal?
He looks at her quietly and holds it out to her ... nervous again at his closeness, she blusters ...
What are you doing here? I told you ...
It's my room, Khushi ... remember?
She reaches to hold the kangan, but he doesn't release it.
I could have done it myself ...
You can't do everything yourself ... still holding the kangan with her.
In the sangeet, he told her she couldn't have done it without his help, she needed him ... now he's telling her she doesn't need to do it all herself ... she doesn't need to be brave all the time, shoulder the entire burden on her shoulders, because he's there ... whenever she needs him, he is there for her ... she just has to trust him ...
But she's still unsure ... I can do it ...
So he drops it in again ... and the water splashes onto her face ...
Tum theek ho? Again very quietly ... intently ... as though it matters ... she can't meet his gaze ... and she reaches quickly for the kangan again, as does he, hand over hers ... and he looks at her as though to tell her ... I told you, I am here, with you ... for you ...
And she looks at him, her eyes still nervous, scared to trust what he's saying ... she's been hurt too many times before ... is this going to be different?
Why are you scared?
She picks the kangan quickly ... no, she doesn't know, she can't be sure ... and she doesn't want to lay herself open to that hurt again ... I can do it ... and gets up quickly, away from his nearness which is confusing her so much ...
Only to be stopped short by her dupatta being held by ... him?
No, once she made that mistake and accused him ... mistakenly ... not again ... it must be a thorn again ...
But this time it is him ...
Leave it please.
Why?
She can't really think of any good reason why he should leave her duppata ... she can't really think at all at the moment, the way he's looking at her ...
Just ... leave it ...
You can't do everything I can ...
No ... I ... she cannot think at all ... she cannot even speak at all for stammering ... why won't he leave her, let her go ... she tugs at her dupatta half-heartedly ... only to see him tug at it even more, wind it around his hand and pull her closer ...
If you can do it all, free it yourself ...
Yes ... I ...
Another tug ... closer still, so close that she doesn't dare to look at him ... heart racing ... why is he so close? Why is she unable to breathe?
Another soft, low-voiced challenge from him ... what I'm going to do, will you be able to do?
She nods without thinking ... she can't think anyway, he's so close ...
And he bends and kisses her very gently, unhurriedly, purposefully on her cheek ...
Thank god the ME is tomorrow itself!

Dia, I feel he is living in the moment. Loves how she reacts to him, loving what he feels for her at the moment. He has not really introspected his feelings seriously..I guess it will happen after the kiss and the bichoo or bang?
ReplyDeleteSanaya and Barun are absolutely brilliant aren't they. They take even the simplest scene to a completely different level.
Hope you have a great weekend.
Travelling tonight ... hopefully will update both today and yesterday's posts either on flight or once I'm back home :) I have a lot to say! :)))
ReplyDeleteSanaya and Barun are totally ROCKING!!! You know, as a Sanaya fan, I always wanted her to get a really good costar ... Mohit is nowhere near such a good actor ... and am so thrilled I'm getting my wish - Barun is just rocking the show with his expressions - he and Sanaya are just fabulous together!
Dia, Soooooo looking forward to your posts. And agree with you, Barun and Sanaya totally match each other and lift each others performance too.
ReplyDeleteOh btw..spoiler alert: She does kiss him back in tonite's ME.
Deepa; I feel the powers that be have finally realized they are have a goose that lays golden eggs in terms of the popularity of the show and its lead actors.
Just 1 promo, 1 dance and see how the trp have jumped. If only this show is promoted on a consistent basis, It will always be in top 3 for sure.
Wow...she kisses him? Hmm.. I wasn't expecting that...I thought she will make an excuse to not to do so and tadapafy Arnav bit more. Just like how she found a reason to state there is A in Khushi as well. She seems to be easy catch for him *sign*...Where did you hear she will kiss him tonight? Also I was tad disappointed how letter A in her mehandi was revealed to Arnav. Little bit of more Arnav around that would have been nicer.
ReplyDeleteWell, what twist is gonna come in ME? I do not think Shyam will be exposed. Do you think it is more of Arnav and Khushi realizing their love?
Totally agree, CVs need better marketing strategy. They will hit 5+ TRP this week and Barun will soon move to number one spot and so will Sanaya soon.
Deepa, I don't think she will kiss rightaway. Most likely they will be interrupted by NK..I am guessing..there will be lots of teasing, chasing, fbs of their moments before she kisses him back. Maybe he riles her up so bad that she kisses him just to shut him up leaving him momentarily stunned*sigh, I can hop can't I?*
ReplyDeleteIt better be good, the way this kiss has been hyped up so much on sbs/sbb, star article and the spoiler coming straight from the set.
Totally love love love your title !!
ReplyDeleteKhushi deifnitely is such a kissable cutiepie !!! How can Arnav resist not kissing such a blushing adorable cutie !!
OMG, what a powerhouse episode !!! This episode just ROCKS !!! from the start when she accidentally slips out how worried she was and how satisfied Arnav is to hear she is worried for him to the mehendi scene where he corners her and ever so sweetly says "u wanted to say .. sorry .. or something" Oh my gosh, what a well delivered line .. had my heart definitely thudding through the kitchen scene, and when he asks her about he A, and her fantastic Khushi Kumaaaari Guptaaa ... aaaa .. and he says "aaa" mmhmmm ..
and then to the poolside, whoaaaa .. he tugs her closer and closer to him and then gives her the sweetest, gentlest most adorable kiss
This has to be the best episode so far in this series for me, I could watch this episode over and over and over again !!!
These sweet soft love scenes between Arnav and khushi and to die for, I really hope theres a lot more like this in the future, hats off to the director, writers and of course Barun and Sanaya for rocking this episode !!!
