12/3 - Epi 206 ...Holi Hai - edited :)

12th Mar Mon

Last first ... looks like our Holi shiddats are working ... RRR tries to put color on ODG, she avoids, and best thing is ... ODB overhears ... shiddat shiddat shiddat ...

Cute episode overall ... we actually got quite a few shiddats today - a TF-TQ scene , where TF is not giving up quite yet ... now that's what I wanted ... only when he gets into action, does he make mistakes ... Has Anjali forgotten that it's Payal's first Holi too? Or was that because Khushi is her Chotey's wife and her real sister-in-law and Payal a cousin? Or simply because Anjali was always closer to Khushi than to Payal?

Khushi mumbling in her sleep ... Arnav waking up ... few more RTR miles added every time I see him sleeping in bed comfortably while Khushi sleeps outside ... x( ... but anyway she wakes him up with her mumbling ... and teasing ... and he actually smiles when he hears her talking in her sleep ... Khushi slowly returning to normal ... and starting to bring Arnav out of ASR again ... he almost ran after her with that color dig of hers :)

Khushi's next mission - manao Nani. Anjali is slowly returning to normal, then Khushi pataos Mamaji to tell her old stories ... HP is back with a platoon of unnamed servants ... suddenly RM seems full! Payal and Khushi want to buy color and pichkaris, Khushi breaks her gullak for money, and goes searching under the bed for it, much to Arnav's amazement and WT* ... and a really sweet Rabba ve moment, with Arnav back to the old protective Arnav, hand over her head to protect it from any bumps ... and Khushi recovers enough to say, there's no one watching, you don't need to do this ... very much on her guard now with him ...

And she wants to take a loan from him ... unbelievable!!! :)) He can't believe it! Doesn't seem to strike her that she's his wife and within her rights to ask him for money ... fiercely independent as ever ...
Yeh ladki mujhe pagal kar degi ... she already has, bitwa ... just admit it already!

She hasn't quite admitted to DM that she needs her, though, so 'by mistake' she puts color, 'by chance' she offers sweets ... Anjali smiles indulgently ... seems like Anjali has almost forgiven her completely already ...
And TF makes his move ... he wants to be the first to put color on her ... x( ... and of course, Khushi avoids ... =D> ... smart girl ... and wonder of wonders ... what we've been wanting for ever and ever ... or at least for the last month or so ... Arnav overhears RRR swear that 'run as much as you like, Khushi, I will put the first color on you ... that I swear ...'
Arnav, if you misinterpret this one, the RTR will reach a point of no return ... so you'd better get your act together!
SHIDDAT Alert ... RRR stalking Khushi, Khushi avoiding him like the devil, and Arnav noticing!!! 


*edited*
Two tubelights lit up today - brother and sister - one at the start of the episode, one (hopefully) at the end. 
TF and TQ having a marital chat ... or rather TQ chatting, TF sulking ... Anjali wearing a very pretty sari today (looks like the cv's changed their designer, everyone got nice clothes!). Anjali's tubelight flickers - why is she still mad at Khushi - after all, she and Nani always wanted Khushi and Arnav to get married anyway!Thank heavens she finally remembered that one!

Hehe ... shidaat of sorts ... not Mami, but Anjali remarks on the fact that TF is spending so much time with her these days. TF doesn't have much choice ... have Arnav's threats really got him so scared?
Anjali was all gung ho about her Chotey getting married, did she forget that she was pregnant? So she suddenly remembers, yes, this is her baby's first Holi too - not really, Anjali, Holi is normally counted after the birth, not before *head desk* ...
So it's her baby's first Holi, and Khushi's first Holi ... did she forget about Payal?
TF twitches again =)) ... I will be the first one to put color on Khushiji.
Why does he still call her Khushiji? Not just Khushi?

Seriously cute scene ... :"> 8-} Khushi mumbling to herself in her sleep about Holi ... Arnav wakes up with her mumbling - (SN - I thought he shut her out and closed the door - now they sleep with the door open? Might as well move her in, dude!!! x( ... and do it fast, those RTR miles are increasing every day!)
And he can't help smiling at her planning in her sleep ... 'pagal!'
Bitwa, she's going to drive you even more pagal as time goes one ... wait and watch!
SN - Khushi back in her night time churidars (shiddat - check) ... dupatta to the side by her pillow - nice touch, very real ...
Arnav tries to go back to sleep ... Khushi is up and about and all excited for Holi ... so what if she's not at home ... Khushi is Khushi, and Holi is Holi ... and today is the day to start over, correct everything that's been going wrong ... starting with the family situation? (blooper - door was open, now it's closed?) ...
Shut up, Khushi ... Grumpy awakes ... how can he sleep with the racket she's making? Unbelievable!
He tries to sleep again ...
Will we play wet Holi ... or dry? And where will we play ... inside RM or outside?
Sleep given up ... finally ... not a chance with Madam Bakbak in full flow ...
Who are you talking to?! incredulous, puzzled ... still half-asleep ...
Khud se, aur kisse? ... Silly question, do you see anyone else here?
Have you gone mad?
Since childhood ... very happily, confidently, completely unapologetically ... you'd better believe that one. I am what I am ... take it or leave it.
Right ... he should have known.
Of course he should ... didn't you know that already? Meaning, you took so much time to figure it out? Not so smart, are you?
More resigned than anything else now ... Arnav moves (to sleep again?) stopped again by Khushi's bakbak ... more of it .. =))
Vaise, I had trouble deciding colors for everyone else, but not at all for you ...
He waits expectantly, ready to leap ... what's coming now?
She doesn't disappoint ... gets ready .. 'black!' ... a mischievous giggle, a teasing glint and she makes a run for it ...
And Arnav leaps out of bed ready to follow her and ... do what? wring her neck? Tickle her? Dunk her in water? Anything silly, childish ... and fun ...
Again the pattern emerges ... childish, mischievous, fun-loving Khushi bringing out the hidden child, the fun, the laughter hidden in Arnav, buried beneath the layers of ASR ... and surfacing slowly, slowly ...

Why was Anjali making gujiyas in the living room?! Kitchen being renovated?
And HP reappears - with platoon of servants! =D>
Nani not in Holi mood ... sandook will stay shut this year.
Khushi (looking wow :"> in purple/pink suit, with matching dupatta, and trademark pompoms - I liked the dupatta), getting ready for Holi ... Nani not happy with her still ...

Liked the Anjali-Khushi scene ... fluctuating emotions, not yet back to their old easy loving relationship, but the thaw has set in and is spreading rapidly ... the shadow of the elopement still hangs over them, but Anjali has reconciled to a greater extent than Nani, and is willing to go further ... Khushi still troubled, and wanting desperately to do anything she can to clear the atmosphere ... then she cheers up again ... today she will do it ...
She wants to go shopping for Holi, asks Anjali's permission, but Anjali has ordered everything here itself ... so Payal Khushi choose what they want, while Mami orders 'cool drink = thandai' =)) And Khushi tries her first attempt to make Nani smile ... marginally successful. (SN - Payal's new sari is nice as well ... cv's got more money after SPA?)

And PK have no money ... doesn't Akash give his wife an allowance?
So Khushi goes to her room to break her piggy bank ... the cv's really dumb down Khushi too much ... piggy bank? For an 18-19 year old? Give me a break!!!

And another ArHi scene :"> Break gulak, fish under bed for money ... Arnav arrives and is irresistibly drawn to the sight of his beautiful but crazy wife half under the bed ... WT* ... what on earth is she doing there? And of course, he has to investigate ... leave her alone?! Naah, cannot, boss!!! That would be impossible!
So he kneels down right next to her, where she can't help but see him when she surfaces ... and he can't help pushing her buttons ... after that crack about the Holi color for him? Still rankles? He has to get back at her? Child Arnav surfacing again ...
You're hiding from me?
Me? Why?! Genuinely puzzled at this one ... why does she need to hide from him?
Because you lost the bet yesterday ... so you're ashamed ... about coming in front of ...
Told you he wasn't very happy about her losing the bet ;) ... or rather about her accepting it so easily. Or maybe, about her recovering from her loss so easily and not grumping about it forever, like he would have done ...
She puts him straight right away.
I saw you this morning, remember? I'm not ashamed ... I was just picking up my coins ...
And she drops them again promptly :)) ... and crouches again to pick them, while he waits exactly where he is, watching her all the while ... the guy can't stay away from her at all, can he? ;)

And as she pulls out from under the bed, his hand goes instinctively to her head, to protect her from bumping it ...
Can't you be careful? What if you'd hurt your head?!
And his hand stays on her head as she sits and stares at him ... eyes wide, with a hint of sadness ... he had made an unspoken promise to protect her the last time he put his hand on her head ... then what happened? What happened to them?
Does he remember that hospital promise also? Does he feel guilty that he broke it? Is that why he looks away, unable to meet her eyes?
Unspoken promises, unspoken words, unspoken emotions, an unspoken bond ... all lie between them ... his turn to search her face, her eyes ... was he mistaken in the girl he saw in the hospital? The innocent, lonely girl who needed him and only him, like no one else? Who chose his arms to cry in, when she had her entire family there?

Loved the way they rose and turned away from each other, as though both scared their feelings showed too much on their faces, in their eyes, scared the other would read them too easily ... or maybe scared that they would see something in the others' eyes which their hearts knew was true, but their minds screamed wasn't there ...

But Khushi's trust has been eroded ... 'there's no one else here ... then why did you ...?' Was this an act?
'Because I can't risk your already damaged brain getting more damage ...' it wasn't an act, I know, but I'm still not ready to admit it ...

But truce has been declared ... as she sits comfortably on the bed, counting out her money ... and he sits on the lounge, doing whatever he does with his laptop ... till she realises she's still short ... so as he gets ready to leave, she wants ... a loan.
"what?!"
Yes, a loan. I don't want a handout ...
Oh, loan ... is she for real?!
Barun's expressions were hilarious ... watching his klutzy, incredibly independent wife make out a written agreement for 300 rupees ... it either never struck her that she could ask him for the money as her right, or that he would refuse ...

You like playing business business, don't you? And signing deals? Well, sign this one ... a loan for 300 rupees ...
Playing business, signing deals ... that lost bet does rankle, so there, Laat Governer, oops, sorry, Mr Arnav Singh Raizada ...
He still can't believe it ... or her ...
Now give me three hundred rupees ... a demand, this is a deal, no please or thank you =))
Grab paper, then grab her hand (he never misses a chance to do that :)) ) and put money into it ...

She collects all her money, counts it and leaves ... stopping only to announce ... I haven't specified the time, but I will return your money ...
A lift of an eyebrow, a very faintly sarcastic "thank you" ... and he mutters again to himself ... 'this girl is going to drive me crazy!'
Umm, that last part's already a done deal, Mr Raizada! :))

And Khushi back to her task for the day ... Mamaji was always on her side, so she uses him ... (awww, another wardrobe change for Khushi? PH getting very generous! Love the yellow-white combo - back to her old suit style though - I prefer the Anarkali suits. But I love the ponytail over one shoulder).
Getting ready for Holi ... first, although she's still annoyed with her old friend, DM, she can't start the festival without DM's ashirwad ... even if pretending it's accidental ...

And an indulgent Anjali overhears ... and smiles ... the Khushi she loves is back ... the one whose gussa always has her pyaar hidden in it ... so since you've put gulaal on DM by accident, let me put gulaal on you too ... (Again wondered if Anjali had overheard that conversation Khushi had with her DM that first night). Khushi smiles with pleasure ...the fondness between her and Anjali is mutual ...

And RRR steps in ... he wants to be the first to put gulaal on Khushi ... to her shock and dismay ... and fear ...
And she avoids it in the nick of time ... an excuse about her phone ringing ... and runs out ... Well done, Khushi!!! Thought ODB would rescue you, but you're quite capable of doing it yourself!

RRR swears ... run as far as you can, Khushi, I will be the first to put gulaal on you ... and this I promise!
And DM makes sure Arnav overhears this one =D> ... after her, her bitiya is back ...
So how much did Arnav overhear? And will his brain finally start the return journey from Alaska?


Precap - RRR stalking a very worried Khushi ...

  1. Dear CV’s...
    If you are in fact visiting this site and listening in our conversations and granting some of out shiddats how about a small ishaara? If you are visiting and want us to know please make Khushi wear a blue suit/sari next Monday. Kapish?

    Onto the eppy...

    I loved both of Khushi’s looks today...the purple and magenta suit was soooo pretty and with SI’s complexion-WHOA!! And the white and yellow suit was so fresh and perfect for holi.

    Also well done with Barun...Not bad guys Khushi had 3 wardrobe changes and Barun 2 (Love Khushi and Arnav’s night wear;-p)!! Budget must have increased - glad they’re putting it to good use: )

    How adorable was Arnav watching and listening to his crazy wife talking to herself and not only that he wanted to hear more... But he had to brusquely tell her to shut up – all the while thinking to himself meri patni paagal hai- then she confirms it so matter of factly- since childhood darling-get used to it;-) and he knows what he’s gotten himself into so agrees also matter of factly...yes darling you’re right! ROFL...

    He was listening so attentively to which rang she wanted to be put on her...and also listening almost hopefully when she says ‘For everyone else I’ll have to think...but not for you...I know what rang to put on you...’ and AWWWW at his WT expression when she say ‘kala’...No Khushi...hubby likes red tumhe pata hai na?... Question...if she hadn’t run into the bathroom what exactly were you planning to do Mr. Raizada that you threw off the quilt and jumped out of bed so quickly??;-D

    Aren’t they officially RM bahu’s? Why the dirth of money? Oh well who cares such a cute Arnav Khushi scene ensued...

    Caring about her, watching her, indulging her craziness, protecting her....Loving her comes so reflexively to him

    ...it’s such a treat to watch these scenes. Another awesome Arhi moment...tumhe lag jati toh?---He puts his hand on her head...as though saying yes you’re my wife, I will always protect you- from yourself and others, I’ll always love you-and it will always be in a roundabout sort of way---she betrayed him, broke his heart but what can he do?...loving her is his default setting and try as hard as he may he can’t seem to switch it off... And she looks at him...she never never pushes him away...she’s always accepted that she was meant to be with him...but he’s giving her all these mixed signals and she looks at him in wonderment ...(remembered the hospital scene: )

    Thank God she asked him ‘no one’s here then why the HMC act’!!- What she meant is...it’s not an act right?? Please please let it not be an act...And for once Arnav replied and didn’t just walk off. A totally plausible not completely silly answer at that-she really can’t afford to spare anymore grey cells according to him...Lol

    ‘Aapko business business khelna accha lagta hain na?’ How cute was Arnav’s WT the expression here- as if to say -Babe khelna? where do you think the money comes for running shantivan, mami’s haars, your never ending jalebi supplies, the upkeep of public, private and non existent pools? Hahaha...

    And I’m so glad he didn’t argue and throw money at her like the ASR of September would have...he indulgently takes her ‘loan papers’ and accepts her ‘I’ll return your 300 rupees’ with a ...’yep you do that Khushi...surely I won’t get sleep till you return this huge loan amount you’ve borrowed from your own husband-Meee!’...And he shakes his head in such a knowing way... ‘she’s nuts and spending so much time with her even I’ll go nuts!!’

    Also found the Khushi nani scene too cute...nani is awesome! Not yet forgiving her but still unable to not enjoy the sheer Khushi, Khushi is...SN: How boring would RM be without Khushi- no wonder they found every single way to make her come back...!!

    The scene with DM...Someone was asking na? Well officially ‘batti’ ho gayi...DM also knew this one can’t stay away for too long.

    1. *rofl* even I want to know what exactly Mr Raizada would have done if Khushi hadn't run into the bathroom! Another one added to the list of 'more later' ... falling onto the bed together, her teasing him and then running ...
      Morning scene was damn cute ... IF ONLY she wasn't still outside .... only till Holi, Mr Raizada ... otherwise DBG's DANDAAAAA is coming after you!!!

      That loan scene ... Epic!!! Yeah right, I need that 300 rupees back, my empire will collapse without it ...

      *rofl* at your business business khelte hain ... for upkeep of mami's haars, and all the different pools :)))

      I wish he'd torn up the loan paper as soon as she left the room ...

      Delete
    2. no he wont tear up the loan paper. he will sleep with that near his pillow. the first time she gave him her sign something without being forced to be.. its almost a love letter!

      Gargi, ROTFL you go, girl!

      Delete
  2. Continued....


    RRR/TF is cupid in chief as always...his top 3 things to do....1. twitch 2. Make our shiddats come true 3. Say sly dialogues to wifey and then not so smoothly cover up.

    I like that Arnav doesn’t stop him. This girl can take care of herself. She stopped TF from applying rang all by herself. Of course bitwa had to hear TF otherwise he has way too much self control in life to go himself and put yellow rang on Khushi just because he wants to. So obviously spurred on by cupidwa we will get a cute Arhi scene;-)....the real question is – how much did Arnav hear? Did he hear the ‘Kab tak mukhse bhagogi...’ bit or just the ‘I will be first to apply rang on Khushiji’ bit...

  4. Looks like everyone is very happy with the episode today. Can't wait to watch . I also see that R&R has been very busy over the weekend. I have lots to catch up today.
    Please keep your shiddats going, looks like the CVs are listening.
    Dia - Will look for your detailed update later day.

    Bye everyone!!

  5. Gargs, finger on the button ... Khushi returned to DM, and bam, RRR made a mistake. Khushi bitiya, keep DM on your side with lots of jalebis, even if you're mad at her ... believe us, it will be all good for you!

    Whatever part Arnav overheard, it should be enough firstly for him to decide that HE will put the first color on his wife, and not Slimeball ... because the last bit SS (Slimeball Snakewa) said was the "I'll be the first to put color on you, that I swear." So that part Arnav will take care of now ... good boy, RRR, you did your job well.

    If Arnav heard the first part - 'run as much as you want, Khushi' ... that should be the clincher for him to start suspecting that RRR is not all sweetness and truth ... and even if he didn't hear that bit, Anjali has no objection to her hubby putting color on Khushi, but Khushi does ... and Khushi will definitely continue to avoid RRR as much as she can ... he will definitely be on the lookout for Shyam and Khushi, and if he sees her purposefully avoiding RRR, it should ring some alarm bells for sure!

  6. And oh yes, I loved the clothes :))) The purple suit was gorgeous - with her complexions, Sanaya can carry off these bold colors so well, and the yellow and white was pretty and summery. And Barun wore a matching purple - I liked that one!

    1. Yet to see the epi.

      Saw Aaru's comment on the previous post and logged into IF and saw some pics. Instant reaction - pakka se Cvs have discovered R&R. So Cvs please please blu suit / saree for Khushi next Monday oki.

      Gargi,

      Teri hi yaad aayo when I saw those suits on Jhushi. Bitwa sees her in night clothes and do does she. Was that another hoodie? I like the part about RRR trying and Khushi excaping - good good..Jai Mata Di!

      Arnav seems to be back to nihaarofying wifey when she is sleeping (new years)

      Khushi's independant streak - bitwa no more jobes at her gold digging. She never bothers you for money only your attention. She even broke her gullak.

      more when i actually see the epi. my kiddo is refusing to fall asleep and I am going WT :P

      Btw did Khushi get disguised as SS was troubling her?

      Delete
    2. Sandy I loved the way he says 'Thank You'...as if he's taking her absolutely seriously...totally indulges her madness- ts damn cute...

      Yep it was another hoodie and tracks...(doing a little jig:-))

      I think Khushi gets disguised as something out of mamaji's stories to manaofy nani...she wouldnt go to such lengths for creepwa...she would just hide behind her pati...;-)

      Delete
    3. Gargs,

      the paagal and Thank you both were THUD.

      and yeah of creepwa is troubling let her patidev do something about it.

      After that amamji waala scene - looke like Khushi's disguise is purely for Nani pataoing

      Delete
    4. Yep, I think Khushi will dress up as Nanaji and sing Oh Meri Zohara jabeen for Naani ... and that will melt her :)))
      Can anyone stay mad at this girl for too long anyway?

      I love the way Arnav indulges Khushi's madness, but I want a scene when he also goes crazy and all childish with her ... runs around the bed after her and then catches her in his arms, both all out of breath and panting and laughing, and then he tells her ... pakad liya, ab kahan jaogi? And then a major Rabba ve ... laughter dying away ... hayyyeeeee ......

      It will be a LONNGGGG wait for this one!

    3. An yeah happy they had scenes without too much gel. He does look better with the light wavy hair.

    4. Shweths,

      Hayyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

      Payal admonishing Khushi and bitwa overhearing toh hoga - even I windered whether Khushi's birthday is coming up. That gotewalli saree will be soo much like pataal - ooh adding the many many shopping bags to this shiddat.

      Delete
    5. I agree with you ladies - low on gel, high on fashion - ASR going in the background and Arnav coming forward?
      and very like the pre diwali episode - one Rabba ve moment every day till Diwali/Holi?
      last time in ended in disaster - this time???

      Delete
  8. Dia and Gargi what an espd awesome is word.

    1 no NQ-MB fillers, that first shiddat crossed.
    2 TQ/TF scene where TF not lying low anymore. He had to act and get twitched. TF trying to put color on bitiya and she does find an excuse at the last moment. Just hope bitwa did see that hear TF. Second Shiddat crossed.

    3. Best was Arhi. what i liked here was again a real Rabba ve moment. Second all Arhi scenes were exactly Arhi we have loved. the innocent,bubbly and most important independent Khushi and the croaky amused Arnav playing along with her antics. Wonder pool eye lock was so magical that it soften ASR so much or its more of Khushi being Khushi get the hidden Arnav out?
    Sn1 Loved how bitiya being the self respective one, does not allow NQ to ask money from Akash. She again puts herself in the problem.I do agree with their situation of being out of money. NQ couldn't have actually Akash money with just being there for what 3 days and not knowing their working with finance.
    4. Loved Nani Khushi and Khushio mamaji scenes.
    5. TQ is getting normal and still has her glares on and cant see the true colors of her TF.
    6. Bitwa returns as her knight in shining Armour again by protecting her from getting hurt. Will bitwa be her knight in shining Armour tomorrow too? Hope so.

    1. Aarthi I also found the mamji scene very endearing!! Such a normal mama/chacha scene:-)

      ...I must say both father and son are the most sensible...the few times they open their mouths they always come across as normal sensible men...wish their respective wives would follow suit!!

      Don't worry Aarthi...ASR will be KKGSR's knight in white shirt and denims(a girl can hope)

  9. OMG! the CVs are stalking this blog - how many Shiddarts did we score today:
    1)Gargi - dresses (well fitted and good colours for Khushi), and a hoodie for ASR!! - not bad :D
    2) she will ask him why he is 'acting' when no one is around! (and ofcourse ODB being ODB comes up with a smart Alic answer!)
    3) Rabba ve (read adorable) scenes between the couple including the Best of all - are you mad? Since childhood - didn't you know, 'of course!')
    4)RRR wanting to be the first to put colour on ODG
    5)ODG staying away from RRR(that too on her own - well done girl!)
    6)Family accepting her - Anjali and Mamaji are already there - Nani she will win over - her family has also turned up
    7)Outdoor shoot!

    Though i found the 'loan' part really cute, but cant figure out the Raizada men- why don't their women have money in hand???

    All in all a 10 on ten episode - every scene well done - well worth the wait :D going for a re watch!

  11. Sandy, the disguise may have to do with mamaji's holi ke kisse probably....altho knowing Sanka devi's sanak, anything is possible....
    Even ASR is getting branded by this sanak with every passing day....

  12. Dia, hope you plan to edit your post and give us more material to read :D
    Even though the episode was perfect and the ARhi scenes were better :D - they don't need any explanations/discussions, (they were well created and enacted)you somehow can make it even more interesting - so looking forward to your edited post!
    one thing that i really liked - when ODB sees ODG under the bed - he HAS to sit down and talk to her - cant leave her alone - comes up with a silly excuse but just has to talk to her - so so cute - and love the way he lifts one eyebrows when he notices her doing anything whacky! (or when she questions him (like the "where were you?" scene at the mehndi function!)
    Also loved it when they both turn away from each other ODG can't remain quiet and has to say 'why are you doing this? - there is no one around!" - even she cant stay away from talking to him, can she :D

    @Gargi - seems like she knew she was getting married so got a whole lot of suits stitched for herself during her sister's wedding! ;)

    2. yeah mona, he's so cute! btw i love this haircut on bitwa.. he looks 20 - barely. perfect look for cute kiddo moments with bitiya :)

      I love her new hairstyle too.. the one with the yellow suit.. patni look, but not open hair..

      really liked the scene when she was talking in her sleep and kiddo was enjoying her joie de vivre :)


      p.s. the story is straying far from the original premise, but its fun to watch :)

    3. Mona ... edited ... :)))
      From now on, I will add Edited to the the title ... so you know when I'm done with my full bakbak! :)

      I liked that ponytail over one shoulder look too ... like the way they're experimenting with her hair style, not keeping it always the same. I liked the yellow and white suit color, but prefer the Anarkali style ... hope she sticks to those ones now.

      And so agree with you both ... bitwa can't stay away from bitiya now, can he? She's under the bed, he HAS to find out what she's up to ... whacko woman!

  13. I think Arnav is going to use that piece of paper Khushi signed to get her back to the office since he knows that jiju is after his wife. The only way he can keep his jiju's dirty paws off his crazy wife is to get her as close to him as possible. Jiju will not dare come the the AR. Even if he does he can give his security guards pictures of him so that they can stall his entry much like how they stalled Khushi's entry. Khushi may be indignant with him for forcing her to work for him again but may slowly realise the real purpose - the guy needs to keep her in his line of vision because he loves her and cares for her safety.

    1. Opti, really? after he saved her piece of notebook paper, he wants to make her sign a deal on it? why not ask her outright to work, so she can earn her own expense money? she will agree to that, I'm sure..

      "Even if he does he can give his security guards pictures of him so that they can stall his entry much like how they stalled Khushi's entry." ROTFL

      you think ODB will spend that much time and energy on anyone else? seriously?

      I want to see some really powerful hate track towards SS.. treat him like the vermin on the floor.. not only ASR, but khushi, payal and the gupta pariwar.. so much so that anjali notices that something is amiss.. but no one tells her anything. even if she asks.

      like group laughter suddenly stopping when snakewa makes a comment.. or ODB stepping in front when bitiya is running around (unaware of snakewa's ogling).

    2. Jaya, she may agree to work but not for him, especially after the way he treated her. So he has to arm twist her into working in his office. I guess, he may resort to it only to keep her safe from Shyam's clawing paws.

      When I said he may ask his security guards to stall Shyam, I meant he will ensure Shyam does not enter his office using any pretext. Here, the time and energy is to save Khushi and if it means keeping him off the limits of AR, I guess he would do anything for it, including bashing him up personally.

      But then again, Gul did say that office track did not work in the show. So dont know where this is leading up to.

    3. I don't think that paper will come in later ... he can get her to work at any time just by telling her she has to ... but yes, Gul said office track didn't work, so I doubt that will happen.

      But now I wonder ... next couple of weeks, if not more, will go in ASR finding out the whole truth and that Khushi is innocent ... then what?! Will he want to make the marriage permanent? And then she finds out what he suspected, gets hurt and leaves?

      Opti, any thoughts? - you always have good predictions!

  14. Jai Mata Di
    1. The maata ki murti and diya were prominently shown in the TQ-TF scene today.
    An indication that DM watched over this woman while the diya - a symbol of truth, a symbol of impurities burned indicates the unmasking of TS ? But to whom - the woman he loves or her brother?
    a. maybe to the woman he loves as she will try to keep the peace by not disturbing her brother's life
    b. would TF's desperation at being thwarted by ArHi result in his anger being diverted towards the unborn baby? - cos it is only bcos of the baby that Arnav kept the truth from his sister

    2. Again at the end when TF declares his intention to apply rang on Khushi, it sounded as temple bells in the BG. DM watched over this girl even when she was annoyed with DM. Today when she has re-kindled their friendship, there is no way she will let any harm come to her.
    - As a first step, Arnav saw and heard this interaction
    - Whether completely or the last bit, he knows TF will try some tricks with Khushi. Arnav will watch over her as DM's chosen guardian angel.
    - Challenge given and accepted :- TF claims that he will be the first to apply rang on Khushi but Arnav will never let him win this challenge. Besides the last time he claimed Khushi will wear sindoor of his name, we know she ended up being Arnav's bride.

    The Players Triangle
    This one scene has resulted in both Arnav and Khushi realizing that RS is not going to cease chasing Khushi
    a. Even in Anjali's presence
    b. After Khushi going from single to married.
    c. Anjali will be powerless in stopping him.

    Arnav's plan to contain the damage is blowing up in his face because RRR is not interested in his second and last chance. Would Arnav have seen that Khushi moved away making an excuse. She could have stayed on but she chose to leave. Will bitwa finally assess the situation and will his batti light?

    Hopefully at the end of Holi, Arnav realizes that Khushi needs to be protected from RS.

    1. Sandy,
      Interesting point ... yep, bitwa needs to realise that Shyam is not going to stop chasing Khushi ... but bitwa also needs to realize that Khushi is unwilling, because if both Shyam and Khushi were raazi, what can do the kazi? Sorry for the TERRIBLE rhyme :)))

      And Bitwa also needs to think - what exactly did Shyam mean when he said the only obstacle between him and Khushi is RS? Did he mean he wants to divorce RS? Or get rid of her? And bitwa has married Khushi only for 6 months to give Shyam that last chance to reform ... but if he sees that Shyam is not reforming, what should Bitwa do? End his and Khushi's marriage early, tell Anjali the truth and bid Shyam Khushi goodbye? What is he hoping to achieve by keeping Khushi unavailable for 6 months if Shyam is still going to pursue her ... and according to him, she is available and willing to be pursued? That's IF, of course, his only object was to save his sister's marriage ...

      Nope, nothing makes sense here, least of all, Arnav's thoughts - it's high time he realized what he is doing is completely illogical and is ruled only by ... say it with me ... HIS HEART!!!!!


      And yes, hope bitwa realizes that it's Khushi who needs the most protection from Shyam ... hope RRR makes some moves during Holi to light that batti!

      New article ... no surprises ... apparently Arnav WILL be the one to apply color to Khushi first ... well duh :)
      And the buzz is strong that they will confess in inebriated state ... more important is what will happen the next morning. Apparently that girl who posted the spoiler was kidding ...

    2. Dia,

      They say keep your friends close and your enemies closer. That was what Arnav would have thought when he got married.

      Today he is fighting the wrong person. Unless he finds a greater opponent, the venom will spew on Khushi.

      Like I told Rekha somewhere else, Arnav realizing Khushi is unwilling will happen. They share a room and a house. With his heightened sense of awareness for Khushi, Arnav will realize she is unwilling. But give it time. Immediately the only thing to happen would be he sees Khushi avoiding RRR and maybe just maybe his Di teasing Khushi about running away so her hubby could apply gulaal on her first.Besides like her loan today she will keep coming to him for her small needs. He may comment on it and she may tell him after all there is no one else in this house to whom she can go to with her demands (she does not ask anji even tho anji is thawing). And Arnav will wonder more.

      I am keener that Arnav realize how dangerous RRR can be. His awareness of TF's ugliness is greater than Khushi's and if he needs to proactively protect her (like on haldi NK bangles scene) the alarms need to go off in his head.
      Also in thwarting TF's plans, he will keep doing things around Khushi (and these will not be HMC but genuine is my feel) and she will gradually become aware of his heart. eventually when Khushi realizes how out of control RRR is and if by then she realizes teh vibes between TF and Arnav, she just may reach out to him for help (recall har kaam tum khud nahi kar sakti)

  15. ArHi Scenes - HAYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

    Morning ArHi Scene
    1. In her talks with herself, Khushi so far used to have DM or Lakshmiji as her audience. Today she has included Arnav into this august audience. Were we right in hoping that he becomes her new "best friend" with DM's blessings?

    2. Even today when she talks about colours for all, KKG figures last in the family. But DM is always next to her - in her list or her thoughts. And she did not think of the RRR.

    3. Did Arnav note that Khushi associated herself with yellow - the colour of auspicious turmeric, of sunshine / morning. Today she opened the door, ensured Arnav and she were connected and said "all which is wrong in my life will be set right on this day only"
    And though Arnav tells her to shut up, she barges on with her thoughts - just like she has accepted the marriage for now but loses no chance to question Arnav.

    4. Now that her stay at RM is sealed, Khushi is back to her usual ways with her LG though with an added tadka of her childish antics. Was there a teeny weeny bit of happiness on Arnav's face when she mentioned her choice of colour for him. When she ran and he jumped out of bed, had she been in the room, I am sure he would have chased her and backed her into a wall. Khushi is awakening the child within the man.

    The Piggy bank ArHi Scene
    I thought of the hospital scene, New Year midnight scene, Haldi Scene where Khushi was picking up bangles

    1. Arnav proves yet again that he can fake all the HMC moments he wants but his concern for her is most genuine.

    2. That day at the hospital when she was broken down he placed his hand on her head assuring her all will be well. Today he placed his hand on her head to protect her from further hurt as she picked up 'the broken pieces of her life'. An indication that as she sets about mending relationships, he will be her shadow?

    3. That day she was picking up bangles, today she was picking up coins. Then too there was the shadow of a shart over them, today too there is his sweet victory from winning a shart. That day the threat to Khushi was evident to Arnav, while today he in unaware of just how close to harm she is. (hopefully the last scene would have warned Arnav). he had unhesitatingly 'saved' her then, will he come to her rescue again today?
    She warned him then to not let himself be ruled by the shart and to think beyond not realizing that what he did he did for her good. His retort then was to justify his actions by saying she has no clue of what happens around her.

    Today Khushi is clueless because of Arnav. He now has to adopt what Khushi said - instead of viewing silos, he needs to step back and begin to look at the whole.

    4. Last time Khushi asked him a 'to the heart' Q about why he is who he is - he distracted her with the dimaag comment. Today again when she askes him a Q that reflects the state of his heart, he again deflects it with her dimaag.
    They stood facing awayyet turned toward each other like in the chudi poolside scene but much closer than that time.

    SN1: Khushi needs to start understanding that each time she is close to the truth, Arnav distracts her on the premise of her mind because he has no answers to the emotions in his heart. His indication of her half baked mind is in fact a mirror of his half baked heart

    SN2: Is Khushi's birthday coming soon?

    SN3: MIG Alert - What was Arnav actually looking at when Khushi was picking up those coins?

    SN4: hope Khushi continues in suits with sarees for occasions only

      unquote ... I liked this!!! True, he has no answers only when it's his heart ruling his head ... both when Akash asked him about Khushi, and always when Khushi asks him questions about emotions. Khushi has to start deciphering this about Arnav ... that he hits out when he is feeling the most vulnerable. Which is why he hits out at her the most, because she is the only one who makes him feel vulnerable and out of control.

      ARHI scenes ... apart from the sleeping arrangement, I loved the first one, Khushi blabbering in her sleep, Arnav waking up and going 'pagal' with that indulgent smile ... what a crazy coot he has married ... the gussa when she insists on blabbering when he still wants to sleep - happens so often :))) the leaping out of bed ready for a chase around the bed again at her teasing about colors ... hayeeee!!!

      I liked the way they stood up after he puts his hand on her head ... not facing each other, knowing they were not saying what they felt, so didn't want to face each other, their eyes can't lie ...

  16. Part 1

    Hello Hi................Arnav
    Bye Bye..................ASR?

    Say it with me ...............Hayeeeeeeeee what an episode.

    Khushi is still sleeping outside grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Chodo, after Holi I am sure she will be back in warna Bitwa, DANDAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    He sees her mumbling in her sleep and gets up............WT..He heard her????????? From the closed glass door????????

    WT WT WT.........Do the Raizadas have Super Natural Powers when it comes to Hearing, First Mami and now him..........Kaun say Aquafilter ka paani peetay hain yeh log....Wait a minute........They advertised it also, don't remember the name lol.

    Loooooooooved Khushi aka Sanaya.......Kyon aapko pata nahin tha?

    So both know they are going to be spending the next 6 months together atleast, so I see both are back to being civil..........I mean the Arhiland civil to each other.

    Nani upset about Holi mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Oh forget it, she will maanjaofy soon.

    WT WT WT WT WT..............Anjali the Rasam Expert didn't think it necessary to point out to Shyam ki..........Shaadi ke baad pehli holi hai toh her hubby should put the color, that is what I learnt the holi rasam is for the newlyweds?

    *SHIDDAT ALERT* - Payal admonishing to Khushi or Payal saying it to either Arnav or Akash........somehow Arnav overhearing that Khushi had saved that amount for her Gotewali Saree and Bitwa buying it for her. If not, Say it with me DANDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    WT WT WT WT........I mean Arnav toh understandable, Didnt Akash think to give her some money, if you want you can buy something..........*cough* What about an Add-On Card?

    Anyway.....................Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, Bitwa fell in love with her all over again, didn't he, Say it with me Hayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    He could have easily minded his business and ignored her but bitwa needs to kickstart his digestive enzymes by taking panga with Khushi, Hayeeeeeeeee

    Are you hiding from me?
    Why would I do that?
    You lost our challenge?
    Ha, I saw you in the morning remember.

    And she drops the coins again and Bitwa is completely lost looking at her, her innocence.

    And realizes she is going to bump her head......And immediately the protective side........OH SO PROTECTIVE SIDE.....kicks in.........

    Can't you do one damn thing properly, What if you got hurt?

    She is surprised, Why does he care? Does he really care?

    Rabba Vey moment again..

    And she asks him outright, No one is watching why are you pretending as if you care, Bitwa answers back, cos I dont want your head to be further damaged.

    Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!!!!We sooooooooo believed that.

    And back to counting again.......
    Strange he does not ask why is she couting money?
    where did she get the money?
    Didn't he figure out what that broken piece was?

    Oh wait Dimaag is still on vacation na.

      On your next comment, they have already played office-office, hide and seek, business-business. Next what ghar-ghar?

      I think Arnav was flummoxed cos he is used to people just asking him for money and this girl made such a bug hue and cry for 300 Rs. She asked him for a loan.

      Whacky Thought: Is it possible that when the time limit on the other contract expire,s Arnav whips up this unbounded contarct and tells her to stay back as she is yet to pay him back 300 Rs.? Crazy I know.

Besides, he is attuned to all things Khushi ... except when he leaves an important conversation unheard :(((

  17. Part 2

    Anyway, counting begins and she realizes she is short of money and decides to ask him.

    Udhaar...............Awwwwwwwwwww, So cute and he is like WT.

    And bitiya remembers oh wait you like taking signatures right, here is the agreement I will pay you back.

    Bitwa gives her the money, he didn't even count.

    Oh wait, he could have handed her the money, but NO, had to thrust it in her hand......Bitwa needs an excuse to hold her hand, hmmmmmmmm..........

    WT WT WT WT WT..........Chanaywalay ko 500 Diya, Biwi ko Exact Amount.

    Say it with me, DANDAAAAAAAAAAAAA...

    Anyway, she says I will give it back to you,someday. He says Yeah, Thankyou (so nice of you).

    Dekho Bitwa, See how smart Bitiya has become, Loan liya with no time limit on when she will give it back.

    And he does not mind.

    Yeh ladki mujhay pagal kar degi.......Abhi toh shuruat hai, Bitwa enjoy the ride.

    Precap:

    I am sure Arnav (who somehow managed to see and hear everything from his bedroom............Say it with me, WT) only heard the part about Shyam wanting to put Color on her first, nothing more.

    Shyam;

    *ROFL ROFL*...His expressions are neutral when Anjali is talking and the moment she brings up Khushi, he starts Twitching. As if he remembers about Khushi only when Anajli reminds him.

    And Last time he said, Khushiji aap sindoor meray naam ki lagayengi and what happened? She married Arnav.

    This time he says, He will be the first one to put color on Khushi? What will happen?
    Arnav who I assume will surprise everybody by coming down to Holi will do the honors.

    Gupta Family reunion, I hope they hurry it up, I am soooooooo looking forward to Arhi and TF scenes.

    1. Shwetha,

      Arnav does not have to hear Khushi. He can lipread her mumblings because he has been staring at those lips of hers from day one. Now Shyam is another matter. Even his loud voice and emphatic mouthing of the words will still fall on Arnav's deaf ears, except the last bit where he says he wants to be the first to put colour on her. Never mind what he thinks now. At least this provocative statement of his rascal jiju is going to get him down to play holi (or prevent his jiju from fulfilling his perverted wish) and in the process we will get our Arshi moments.

    2. Hahaha even I remembered the chanawala scene shweths...but its better he gave her exact amount...he treated the whole thing absolutely seriously because she was taking it so seriously. - Again indulging her madness- even the way he said thank you- in a yes i fully expect you to return the money thank you for this doing business with me...

      The money makes no difference to him...even the one lakh deal..it was never about the money it was about her- which is why he forgot about it later... but it was such a cute scene..both of their expressions spot on as usual.

    3. Yep gargs,

      All business -
      For Khushi - I understand you have married me for marriage's sake but I shall not exert any rights over you or your assets till such time as you consider me your own.

      For Arnav - Why don't you weaken a bit and just depend on me. Ask me for things rather than always make me sound like a cold calculating machine

      It will again be her strength of character that will rekindle his presently dormant affection and make him fall for her all over again

    4. Sandy,
      Awww, you made me feel bad for Arnav ... true, if she would stop being so prickly and fiercely independent, and give him the chance to play protector, he would jump at it ... every time she softens, he melts instantly ...
      But the same happens the other way around ... the moment he softens and becomes protective, she gives in completely ... no resistence at all ... but both need to show that they can manage very well without the other, thank you very much.

      Shiddat ... this one will NEVER happen, but no harm hoping ... Arnav overhears Payal telling Khushi, stay away from him, Khushi says, I'm trying, but he keeps following me, what a kameena insaan he is ... Payal saying, we need to tell Akash and Arnav about this, Khushi saying, I tried to tell Anjali, her ms broke, so I couldn't, I wanted to tell Arnav the day Anjali's pregnancy became known, so again I couldn't ... Anjali's baby needs a father, how can I deprive it of one just because of me ...
      And Arnav realizes why she has kept quiet for so long ... this should happen after his suspicions are already raised about Shyam's lies ... not before.

  18. Part 1 of my take

    Khushi still sleeps out near the pool while Arnav babu is comfortable in his bed - Symbolic of Arnav still keeping her out of his life but the glass doors of his heart are not fully shut. There is a small gap through which he must have heard Khushi’s sleep mumbles.
    Colours she chooses for her family:
    Green for her parents – Symbolic of safety (green light of the traffic signal). Also signifies fertility and prosperity (crops). One feels the safest with ones’ parents who are the only ones who are immensely tolerant. Green also is the colour of the heart chakra known as Anahata which enables a person to love more, empathize, and feel compassion. It is another matter that Garima does not often display that selfless love but deep down she does love Khushi and there is no doubt just how fond of Khushi Shashi really is, even if he is not related by blood to her. Prosperity need not be about material wealth alone but prosperity in spirit and that comes from parents only.

    Orange for Buaji – Symbolic of caution (orange light of the traffic signal). One has to be cautious around her for she keep creating hurdles after hurdles but she is not altogether bad.
    Blue for Payal – Symbolic of water. Well already know that this girl has a close association with water whether it is turning on waterworks in her parental home to do the laundry or turning on the waterworks of her eyes every time she gets to hear Mami’s choices curses for her. Lets not forget that still waters run deep. Payal always steps up for Khushi when the going gets tough. Maybe she will do it again if Arnav’s brains do not work on their own.

    Red for Devi Maiyya (DM) – Going by the traffic signal analogy, it means stop. Right now Khushi is ‘katti’ with DM and has stopped asking her to help her out. Red is also supposed to be the colour of the root cakra which represents groundedness, trust and a feeling of belonging. Now DM always keeps Khushi grounded and subconsciously Khushi has never lost her trust in her, no matter how much she keeps telling her she does not want her. It is also the colour of love. Khushi’s love for DM is all abiding as much DM’s love for her.

    Yellow for herself – Khushi brings sunshine to the people around her. So what better colour to represent that than yellow. It is also the colour of solar plexus chakra which represents vitality and will. It acts to empower a person and help them find their personal strength. It will help turn dreams and goals into reality. Khushi is sure to realize her dreams and she will achieve it with her own strength with generous doses of support from DM.
    Black for Arnav – Symbolic of darkness – There is no doubt that Arnav is the dark knight in this love story. Black is authoritative and powerful. It can evoke strong emotions and too much can be overwhelming as we are seeing in this track. It also represents a lack of color, the sense of void, emptiness. This guy desperately needs his sunshine (read his Khushi) to fill up the emptiness in his life.

      Yellow for Khushi ... symbol of light, sunshine, life and vitality ... lovely! So true!
      Blue for Payal ... I was thinking of sky, calm and peaceful, but waterworks makes more sense :)))

      Delete
    3. Nice analogies Opti.

      Adding some thoughts:

      Payal = blue = water = adaptability / filling in cracks / tranquil when still / tsunami when angered

      Khushi = yellow = fire = purifies / blazes her way through / dispels darkness

      Arnav = black = water (yes!) = still water with depths / symbolic of the North direction - a constant /absence of colour or an absorption of all colours / banishes negativity or wards of evil (kaala tikka) and hence of protection

      red can also be contrued as Anjali's colour - the colour of auspiciosuness / of a suhaagan

      In the primary colour scheme, the area where the colours red, Yellow and Blue interesectcan be construed as black. In the ArHi scheme of things, Arnav's life is tightly bound to the key women in his life - Khushi, Payal and DM /Di.

  19. love it Shweth and Sandy...

    they should have a scene with Khushi sitting in the drawing room with nani, Anji and Payal all making plans for her birthday. Arnav should come home followed by HP/OP/ etc-P's carrying lots of shopping bags and going and giving them to a bewildered Khushi. Khushi going after Arnav and at the stairs asking...Arnavji yeh sab kya hai? ...
    'What? tumhara janmdin hai na?'
    'aapne yeh sab hamare...?'
    He gives his raised eyebrow expression...she thinks and says 'OH HMC act' and turns around and goes back to mahila mandal where Payal has taken out a very pretty gotewali sari and Anji and Nani are exchanging their sly looks...And from the stairs we see Arnav smiling slightly at the look of total Khushi on Khushi's face...

    (throwback to October and the silver coins only total haq now;-p)

    1. Much as we all like to believe that bitwa's batti will light up, it will pose a challenge for the CVs on how much to drag this realisation track.. On the one hand, there are these cute ARHI moments and on the other hand the Arnav-Shyam tussle.
      If they show that bitwa has realised that khushi is innocent, the repentence and MU clearing will have to begin concurrently..it will look silly for the great ASR requiring many Eureka moments to arrive at the truth.

      My feeling is that bitwa has only heard that shyam is keen on putting colour on bitiya but he is still free to presume that it is just a lover's challenge and not an exoneration of ODG esp since he is not in the pic when TF approaches ODG.

      This said, I still want to be proved wrong.....again and again just so that these lovebirds get on...Varna Arnav ke pair thak jayenge us RTRW chalte chalte...

    2. Rekha,

      Arnav's batti will light - but in terms of awakening him towards how dangerous an opponent RRR is. Arnav needs to realize that the marriage has not achieved him the main result - that of ensuring his Di's life is unimpacted. He thought his warning and Khushi being married would be enough. But it never was going to be enough. And that is what Arnav will realize. Which is fine for now. It will also ensure he watches over Khushi thereby watching out for her and ensuring her protection. He who is attuned to her anklets noise will soon pcik up on her vibes of fear too.

      ArHi are stuck in a room for now. There will be many more incidents like today where they will have a chance to evaluate each other's actions. Case in point, at some point Arnav will wonder why khushi needs a loan from him when she could have taken it from creep. He told her to stay at RM but did not forbid her from speaking with creep. That realization will build over time. Today Anji saw that RRR wanted to put rang and Khushi went away from there. If tomorrow she chooses to tease Khushi saying "oh so u wanted ur hubby to be the first to put colour on u and so u ran away" Arnav will have no choice but to believe his Di and he will wonder.

      Besides with the family getting back on Khushi's side, there will be more people to point out the obvious about Khushi to Arnav. Khushi always watches out for family and Arnav will see her watching out for nani and hi di too.

      Khushi knows Arnav is hurt and she sees his genuine care for her still ives just beneath his hurt (today's bedroom scene). She will gradually learn to accept his harshness in her stride and point it out to him as it being his defence mechanism. She will watch out for him too as a part of the R family if not as her husband.

      Also, RRR's actions ensured Khushi realizes how dheet he is getting. That day in the car knowing she is married and today in front of his wife. She will also realize that the baby will not change matters. She will try fixing this herself initially but may over time need help handling RRR while keeping up pretences.

      Payal may notice RRR being a slime to Khushi and encourage her to tell Arnav. Khushi will refuse stating payal's happiness. But maybe things may reach a point when Payal takes matters into her hands and speaks to Arnav about it. Or Arnav overhears them.

      By then Arnav should ideally have started wondering on the mismatch b/w reality and his perception. This could be the tipping point.

    3. Yes, Sandy...what u are suggesting is a good progression...realisation will be stretched for the very reason u mentioned, Arnav realising that the marriage itself will not keep his loved one(s) safe..beginning to notice Shyam's unhealthy obsession for Khushi and this intertwined with his own feelings for Khushi will make for an interesting duel...

      Another thing, the Cvs have taken a calculated risk with Arnav's charaterisation wrt sleeping arrangements...viewers are not liking it one bit...the problem is how do they bring her back? Arnav has to make the first step and how/when should he do that? Ideally, they shld have kept them in the same room and then let arrangements work themselves out over a period of time but this poolside arrangement has caused all this heartburn....and CVs are in a big hole over this. They may have wanted this to be diff from usual "arrangements"but have underestimated the impact.

    4. Rekha,

      Read a post on IF that got me thinking.

      It said that as unwelcome as teh sleeping arrangements are their wedding is a thinly veiled live in in the practical world (a marriage witnessed by none). When in the future the truth about RRR breaks and the circumstances of the ArHi wedding are also known, who will believe Khushi's claims of innocence. Besides if an elopment by her is unpalatable how will they react to the fact that she chose to live in the same room with a man for so long. At least this way mami suspects something amiss.

      Flip it over, Khushi has neevr been a pushover with Arnav. He said she should stay out so she stays out? Khushi is very capable of telling Arnav that I will stay inside the room. Why? And why do the CVs continue to show her bedding left outside.

      I want her to move in too but after reading this post, I wonder how the CVs will play it while keeping the characters intact.

    5. I read that post too ... don't know if I agree with it completely. The fact that they got married in such a hurry is bound to raise questions about Khushi's virtue anyway, regardless of whether or not a baby bump appears after three months ;) Besides, sleeping in the same room will give Arnav a reason to ask her to marry him for real when the truth comes out ... because otherwise she is bound to leave him ... so his reason could be, marry me so that your name is cleared, and then leave if you really want to ... another way of tying her to him. Otherwise if it is clear they never slept together, how does he tie her to him?

      But yep, how will the cv's work this one out? Especially if Shyams truth emerges to Arnav and his guilt over Khushi starts? Will the consummation come up then? IF that happens at all - am taking all rumors on IF with a pinch of salt!

      Agree with you all though ... how long can they drag Arnav's realization and how will it go? Once his dimaag ki batti lights, the facts are so obvious that it should not take him too long to connect the dots. And he can always ASK PAYAL ... she knows the whole truth ... he could swear her to secrecy even from Akash ... or threaten her ;) Somehow his threats are always confined to Khushi only!

    6. Sandy,
      True true...In the tellyworld, i guess it matters becos of who they think their major audience is...I guess for them to project, what happens between the four walls of bedroom a private matter will be a paradigm shift....not showing Khushi as a pushover is itself a big achievement, and I am glad, in the name showing a difficult period for Khushi, they haven't tampered with her basic personality traits; that she is a fighter. CVs really deserve kudos on this!!

      I was flipping channels the other day and caught parts of an episode of the current TRP leader. I was flabbergasted at the way in which the lead was subjected to "third" degree questioning on guess what...the details of the real relationship she shares with her husband behind closed doors....I did not wait to watch the response...but the point I am making is, that the job of the CVs of IPK would have not been easy for these very reasons... I am not making any judgements on the other serial becos I don't watch it so I don't the background or whatever...

    7. Dia / Rekha,

      It was a catch-22 when I tried to reason it out as-is and then inteh light of this post.

      For now, I will setlle for this:
      Arnav threw her out saying "Your place is outside this room"
      For some reason, he needs to tell her something on the lines of "Your place is inside, come in"

      It will be akin to him opening that glass door, letting her in - metaphorically granting her a place as his wife.

      Delete
    8. the added point here is why doesn't Khushi just stomp in. Arnav saying no has never stopped her. So for her to come in he will have to let her in and she will move in for him.

      Besides another point in her favour, each morning Arnav wakes up he sees her bed out there or her out there. An indication that she does not sneak off to the place she wants to be in (as per Arnav's) imagination but stays put where she is

      akin to that choodi poolside scene where she tells him - "If you have not noticed, I am wearing the bangles you gave me"

  20. I went all the way hayeeeee….awwww….hayeee…awwww….hayeeee….

    Episode was just utterly…butterly…delicious….episode.

    Few liners were really nice..may be the way they delivered…
    1. Paagal
    2. Bachpan se
    3. Ye ladki mujhe pagal kar degi
    4. Udhaar? Oh loan!

    One scene that stood out to me and touched my heart :
    When Khushi moves up with Arnav’s hand on her head…….just like saying it….I am there…no matter what is the current state….I am always there….
    Just look at her face…..such an innocence personified….I am like WT WT…Bitwa how can you not see that? Can’t you see that childlike innocence in her eyes? Can’t you see that pain in her eyes? Don’t you know her better than that? Don’t you feel that pain in your heart too? Then something must be wrong right? For once dam it, think through…
    Him looking at her, I felt he himself was asking questions….do I see any trace of a home wrecker? No I do not…But I saw…I heard….her face…such innocence..…am I wrong...did I make mistake...ASR is never wrong…no I am…no I am not…

    And I am still going…..
    hayeeeee….awwww….hayeee…awwww….hayeeee….

    Side note: Holy cow!!!…They all got new wardrobe…that too nice ones….danda aur Shiddat ka kamal…

    1. Okay if this is in fact true then I'm taking for granted CV's are visiting us and then I seriously wanna see Khushi in a blue suit on monday:-p!!!

    2. Gargi,

      this particular scoop was fake. Happy April 1st in advance.

      But hold the shiddat. The promos never work out as they are shown. That scene is definitely not happening by the poolside.

      Delete
  22. Two more comments ...
    They are showing the Teri Meri promo again since the last 2-3 days, the one with the TM song and the words from the 4th promo. So are they emphasizing the current theme - that Khushi cannot hate Arnav, no matter what he does to her, and Arnav cannot bring himself to declare his love for her, however much he loves her?

    Wonder if the new promo will release tonight ... the one with Arnav kissing Khushi and her running away ... there was a spoiler about this on IF a few days ago.

    The promo about the ArHi wedding - the one with Sanaya dressed as a bride, the VO said something about, will this wedding of hate lead to the manzil of love? So is THAT the theme?

    And finally ... I saw the much discussed C scene of BALH ... a whopping 28 minutes of only RaYa ... frankly, I got bored stiff ... had to forward lots!!! And far too obvious ... I want the C here to be far more suggestive and delicate ... nothing so obvious pleeeaaaseee!!!!

    1. Dia,

      The girl who posts spoilers on promos said no new promos yet as they are yet to air the holi promo. the other one of the kiss and run was clarified to be fake.

      as for the bride promo about it leading to love, isn't a confession albeit inebriated a step towards the same :)

      Delete
    2. I agree Dia, The BALH C scene was far to long and explicit and put me off too. The leads had so much makeup on I felt like jumping into the screen and scrubbing their faces clean. Who goes to bed with so much makeup on? For me the best C-scene on T.V. so far has been that of Michi of Kayamath. The run up to it was a heated argument between the leads which pushed up the passion.

      Check this out.

      The c- scene - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWhJ0AZtKZY


      I want Arshi's to beat this. With the right script and direction our jodi can do it.

  23. Dia,

    agree agree
    the beauty of the ARHI romance, to my mind, is I see romance unfold in the least expected manner..
    who would have thought that a scene where a girl bends to pick up coins and the just the mere thought of the guy protecting her can elicit these lovely reactions, can translate into a romantic scene...
    I am sure the makers of IPK will never have to resort to anything gimmicky here......ArHi are just too special!!
