16/4 - Epi 231 ... Return to Low Class Maayka

16th April Monday

Somewhat along the lines of what I wanted ... Khushi goes back to pativrata patni act, as promised on Friday, but much less OTT ...

Shyam manages to get the impression of the key - what was with his acting in the ArHi bedroom? So he doesn't care at all if Arnav overhears him and his talk about staying at Buaji's house ... Khushi should get a clue from that one, but she's too scared that Arnav will overhear, and draw all the wrong conclusions. But she just decides - again - that she will simply not think about Shyam at all. He's not worth it.

Khushi doesn't realize that he's not just a persistent leech, he's the main serpent in her Garden of Eden. And poisonous at that.Much as she doesn't want to, she needs to think about him.

Arnav still getting all annoyed with Khushi's loving ways - so he didn't manage to make her angry this time. If this had been a normal marriage, Khushi was too cute ... especially the way she sat up and handed him his car keys :) ... can't imagine any guy resisting that mischievous smile for too long.But I liked the way Khushi kept her gussa in check all through and her smile on her face, thereby infuriating Arnav further. Am really waiting for him to turn the tables on her now ... he will start keeping his gussa in check to checkmate her ...

Arnav manages to piss off Khushi again with his talk of low aukat and class ... so she has to teach him a lesson. And Nani is on her side as always ... Arnav, for all his dominating ways, cannot stand up against the women of his house at all - be it Anjali or Nani. So will he go? Or let her go alone? Didn't catch the SBS so am not sure ...

Good to see the Guptas back ... it will be nice to get a change of scene. And good to see Arnav actually working in office again ... although he got distracted pretty darn easily :))

Bubbly bonding with Khushi has a solid basis - both are orphans. Now I am looking forward to their track, if they can keep Bubbly more natural and less precocious. 

As is usual for many Mondays, this was setting up for the week.

  1. As for the start of the week and with low expectation it was good episode . I would say a balanced one.
    1 NO OTT Khushi Swami Drama. thank you Cv's for that.
    2 Snakewa playing his game pretty good.
    3 All pointer for the -IF stolen file leading to K -leading to more MU or lighting Bitwa's brain??

    SN1 One line from K "chaiye to geen lijiye? Aapko hum par vishwash hai kya? Now this line is loaded. Just hope it leads as positive for Bitiya in time of need.
    The tone of that line sounded that it is paving a way for A to MU more as she was involved in it...

    1. That was such a great moment, till they turned Khushi goofy*head desk*...I was hoping that she will be genuinely happy and not go back to her goofy self again...maybe it is just me*sigh*

  2. just caught the epi online...not clear what is the basis for A agreeing to go to GH tommo....

    Sounds a bit weird altho it is not unusual for men to spend time over at the sasural..its just that in normal course it happens if its in a different city etc.......i am not going to pick bones on this matter if they just get a move on....decent epi....hope they don't meander tommo...

    1. Why arent Payash going too? Payal is too comfy at RM? And suddenly Garima says why don't you bring Damaadji....Wah Wah, the same damaadji that you never ever bother to offer him to sit or give him water, hopefully something good comes out of this.

      Delete
    2. I thought Garima just asked K to visit ... why is K going bag and baggage? And why does hubby need to go too, to stay over? Agree with Rekha, it is unusual. Just hope with the Shyamu key drama at the same time, it does get things moving somehow. Or Shashi babu somehow getting it across to Arnav that he hates Shyam as much as Arnav does, if not more.

      Delete
    3. Dia, See again how they are messing up Khushi. Let me put it this way, If Payal wanted Akash to stay in GH, she would do this in a proper way, get her amma or buaji to speak to Akash and invite him over.

      As it is when the Guptas know Arnav is visiting their mehmaan nawazi sucks, imagine their plight when Arnav Singh Raizada whom they barely know unlike Akash who moves freely with them lands up on the door for stay and they are caught unawares.

      The old Khushi would never have done like this. She would have made either of the two ladies speak to Arnav.

      Now Arnav and Gupta Family's relationship had a rocky start. All things outside, granted she wants to get back at Arnav, why drag her family into this when they are probably unprepared.

      And most important thing, isn't Khushi exposing their marriage to them? He is sometimes brusque with Khushi and the R family is kinda used to that, I doubt if the G family is?

      This is a girl who went great lengths to safeguard her moments with Arnav earlier. I get it she is desperate now and not thinking clearly, I just hope this whole track is not dealt in a comedic way of ASR adjusting in GH but a more reflective and a serious note.

      Delete
    4. Shweths,

      think of it this way. Till now she has been supporting the HMC act for his family. Time for him to do his bit nai?

      I dont think they will be caught unawares as khushi told her mum they will come and nani spoke to khushi about a few days stay so they would be adequately prepared. Best is ki when they are there, babuji has some sort of an attack and Arnav manages things calmly or better still he sees Khushi managing things calmly and the ladies making a mention of how Khushi alwasy does that - some FB's from the hospital scenece of ArHi. He thinks fo how she hugged him and how he had dropped her off in the middle of the road post Nainital and how she had worried about bridging the 3000 Rs difference but never asked him for a penny. She thinks of how he placed his hand on her head and paid teh bill to help her and yes she also thinks of how she hugged him sought comfort in him when her world seemed to be collapsing.

  3. Aaru...on ur side note....will the MU about key light K's batti...becos Shyam was involved in the scene or will it again be just a scene where A does not confront K and the wound festers?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Did she even see the key? You know what I hope, the key is a red herring again and Shyam is talking to the soap, hari prakash comes and asks jeejaji aap saabun say kya kar rahain hain, hamain dijiyay, jo dhona hai hum dho detay hain.

      Though now with Arnav gone, we might actually get to see Shyam looking at the files, chalo atleast the story will move.

      Delete
    2. @ Rekha ,

      I doubt K's batti lighting up till A confronts her about the lost file.. Because at present her main motive is to avoiding Shyam, especially in front of Bitwa. With TF growing bolder she will only avoid him more. She will not be able to connect it (since I think she didn't see the key in his wallet), till A confronts or more like accuses her of stealing.
      Or if there is any encounter between A and Shyam which she witnesses.
      Or when TF comes to GH which is highly possible, because may be Bitwa didn't not keep that file in the locker and carried it along with him to GH and Shyam comes in search for it and K and TF have a face off in relation to Arnav and slips about the wallet or file that is when she might link.
      Hope the MU gets cleared at GH at where exactly it started.

      Delete
    3. Okay worst case scenario, Arnav goes comes back realizes someone realizes that the file cabinet has been sneaked into and he thinks juice kay bahanay, khushi somehow gave access to shyam and that is why she insisted they go to GH so Shyam can have full access, ouch.

      Delete
    4. My guess - either Shwetha's first scenario - HP taking the soap, and Shyamu's hopes down the drain.

      Or Shyam manages to open the locker, and Arnav, using his brain for the first time in a very long time, has already moved said important file to his office - locker is empty.

      Worst case scenario, as Shweths said above - A suspects K of complicity with Shyam, though he SHOULD wonder that if K was helping Shyam to get the key, would she have been so open about returning his wallet to him? She should have sneaked it back, right? That is if Arnav gets around to thinking logically. Asking for too much?

      Better one ... optimistically speaking ... Anjali asks Arnav if he had his juice, as his beloved Jijaji brought it for him personally. And he thinks that TF had opportunity alone in his room before Khushi came in ... still has scope for misunderstanding K there, but there might be room for doubt.

    5. My prediction for the supposed ME on 28th.

      The next 2 weeks we have ARHI stay in GH, Arhi slowly coming closer again as per the shiddats. Arnav comes back and realizes someone has been through his cabinet while he was away and is puzzled cos only he has the key. Then remembers the purse incident and Khushi dragging him to GH for stay. First reaction, did she do it on purpose so Shyam will have full access and she somehow gave the key to Shyam.
      Next reaction: Wait a minute, this does not tally with the Khushi he has known up close.

      The point is just like the kadha incident where although he had the video proof she mixed something, this time I want the trust to be there and he asks her in an indirect way and guess rightly that she is being honest and realizes she could not have helped Shyam and wonders why Shyam did not ask her help?

      That is how I am hoping this goes, let us see.

      Delete
    6. Shweths,

      After the first reaction an argument with Khushi bhi chalegaa wherein maybe he asks her if she had tampered with his wardrobe and the locker. Because then she can upfront tell him that TF had come with juice for him which ended up spilt on his wallet and she had only dried the contents. Then even better reason for Arnav to wonder why she would tell him TF was in the room and start thinking on the lines of your next reaction. Let him also think back to how TF already knew that the key was in his wallet - nani waali incident and how when Khushi returned the wallet the key was still in it and she had only mentioned the money. And yes let him get confused on why they could not have helped each other.

      My wish for argument is because only then Khushi will get a clue that the slime was in the room not for what she had thought but maybe for the locker and the key. He did tell her about coming over to do some work and once done he would leave. Also this will be the 3rd time he will think of TF and Khushi colluding and tehy say 3rd time lucky :)

      Merrier still if Anji returns creep's roli before them mentioning he was in that room looking for his kurta. Again both will wonder more like you said basis their increased awareness of each other basis the Gupts stay. Ifc if CVs want to do puski they will come back in a aday - I hope they stay put for a week and RM scenes are limited to TF getting to teh file maybe being seen by Anji again and some Ms. B scenes and NQ - MB drama.

      Delete
  4. How come Arnav didn't hear something..I mean couldn't he have guessed there were people talking? Chalo chodo.

    Btw , this Gupta visit is a wonderful excuse to have Arhi bathroom renovated.

    Dia, I am happy they atleast showed her thinking something about Shyam. We want more of Monologues and especially those involving Arnav.

    Bubbly, that kid still fails to touch my heart and have no clue where this is heading.

    Change of scene better be good and have updated the shiddats that I want to happen during his GH stay, will copy and paste here:

    1. Bitwa and Bitiya sharing the same bed and waking up in each other's arms.
    2. Serious Khushi back.
    3. Khushi seeing a different side of Arnav who is completely at ease with her home which is less than RM standard and also very informal with her family. She goes for a person who hates me and wants me kicked out, why is he being so nice to my family.
    4. CVs PLZ don't do a Mounaragam where arnav is all rude to her and her family and later tells himself that later when she returns, atleast the family will find it easy to take her back seeing this rough side of him and thinking she is better off without him ( I am having this sneaky suspicion since we are on Majnu ASR, we might just see this, YAWN & YIKES)
    * Bright thoughts *

    5. Arnav feeling really at home at Guptas and the Gupta ladies pampering him driving him crazy.
    6. Shashi Arnav Bonding.
    7. Shashi somehow letting it across to Arnav that Shyam is a creep.
    8. Some random neighbour blessing Khushi and overhearing the entire thing that she is very happy that Khushi has got such a good hubby and a good family. Especially after having to deal with the horror and disappointment of finding out that the finacee was a fraud.
    9. Tea under the stars either sharing a convo or simply enjoying the moment of togetherness, him working and she looking happy after a long time with him and both stealing glances at each other.
    10. Arnav wondering how she is completely happy with him and not missing Shyam at all.
    11. Khushi seeing and registering a different side of Arnav.
    12. Arnav and Buaji hitting it off with Buaji telling him loads of Sanaka Devi type stories.
    13. Arnav realizing that she takes too much burden when it comes to her family just like him.
    14. Arnav finding out about the bangle somehow.
    15. Khushi in her pink/lavender home night suit with her hair loose and Arnav going loose.
    16. Arnav in casuals looking hot and Khushi going THUD.
    17. Barun's haircut and shave.
    18. Sanaya's change of hairstyle.
    19. Khushi missing him atleast for a night, plzzzzzzzzz

    *phew* that is it for now.

    2. Shweths....Loved u for the "mounaragam" comment; I doubt A is thinking that far ahead and certainly not for K's sake...
      Point 8 is a gud one...hope someone from Laxmi nagar drops in the Shyam name...or atleast A has a FB of the time when they visited the house and fiance was all missing...
      I would like A to go to GH after one night of "solid missing" tho i am not hopeful....
      Even if bua and A don't hit off due to A's reserved nature, i hope he listens intently to K's childhood tales rattled off by Bua...

    4. Shweths,
      Loved them all ...
      I want Bitwa to go to GH after one night too. Let him miss her for a night, go the next evening ostensibly to pick her up and be cajoled into staying a night - maybe the G ladies want to do overnight temple visit or something. Didn't the SBS say they were going out of town?

      Bonding between Babuji and Arnav - how, I'm not sure - when one person can't talk, and the other doesn't like to talk. Maybe their quiet will draw them together.

      Mention by someone, anyone of the former PG Shyam and how he turned out to be such a slimeball ... and for once let Arnav SEE expressions of anger and disgust on the G family's faces. Re-thinking this -may not happen in front of entire family, otherwise Arnav will realise that entire family knows about Shyam. Maybe in front of Babuji alone?

      Start of tubelight flickering about Payal's mention of Shyam on his first visit to G house, Khushi calling her fiance Shyam when R's came for Payal rishta ...

      1, 2 ... yes, pleeeeeeasssseeee!!!

      9 and 15 together - Arnav sitting outside, Khushi brings him tea, dressed in her pink nightsuit, hair flying loose, sit quietly together and watch the stars ... she starts the pativrata act again, he shushes her and says 'chup'. And she shuts up ... and they sit together quietly.

      Khushi wakes up first and watches him sleeping ... same bed please. And give her some time to just watch him fondly, not a brief half second glimpse before Swami takes over.

      Ok on second think, 1,6,9,11 are favs :)

      And I am all for Happyji saying something in Khushi;s favour and talking of what aa slimeball her ex was! Maybe Arnav goes to get his car repaired or serviced :)

    today's epi was much much better than friday's...par Khushi creepwa ke baare mein shochne se hi kaam hoga!! so plz start thinking!!

  6. Shwetha and Aaru,

    Adding my shiddat to your shiddat lists - yes yaar some same bed nihaarofying is lone overdue.

    Khushi is a purple suit seems to be getting granted this week.

    Dia,
    I have always hoped for a Arnav Babuji bonding scene. First time Arnav met babuji at Diwali too he was very respectful. And as for batti - hope babuji asks Khushi is she is fine and if the creep does not trouble her. Khushi voices his silent concern and rushes to soothe him. Arnav overhears this and wonders. Babuji is always concerned for his lil butterfly.

    Buaji treating Arnav to some of Khushi's sanak will also be good. Maybe she will say something about how lucky Khushi is to have Arnav and that he is nice to bear all her pranks and Arnav feels like a heel. Maybe she speaks of how lucky both her nieces are to have been married to such a nice family despite Payal's 1st alliance having broken and Khushi having had a broken engagement in her past. Buaji also mentions that she was responsible in forcing that engagement with an already married man on Khushi and how she agreed just for her Babuji's sake. But she is happy now that her titli is happy and Arnav really feels like a total heel. And of course hoping that talks of the fiance make him recall that guy's name.


    Rekha,
    On your comments in the last post, cold is much better - thanks to lots of adrak waali chai :)

  7. hey ladies - i know i know we want all the above and more but the chances are ODB will go to his sasural after a night like dia predicted and stay only a night, so not many chances of having all shiddats granted 0- but some definitely can be :D - so dear genie - keep praying!

    saw the entire last weeks episodes again (needless to say the arhi parts) and all made much better sense - i know we have already talked - 160+posts worth of discussion on the same but just wanted to say:
    - yes he was defiantly sick - in fact he even mentioned - i am really hungry, have not eaten all day
    - his - 'wont you sit and eat with me' was a pun intended to answer her swami act and to get her to eat as well
    - his lies to Khushi (about faking the faint) no doubt about it! - (for all the reasons HAA stated) - and what i could not stand (his looking into the mirror once his di leaves, as if to ask 'do i know why i did what i did') - was more of an acknowledgement - yes i love this girl even though i hate it - but she does mean so much to me :))
    - finally his trick back fired coz instead of Khushi being disgusted with him she returned t0 the swami act - He does not know she is doing it to bug him - she in fact would have stopped it if he had not turned around and lied to her (till that point she was actually really sorry!)

    seems like it could be an interesting week! :D

    SN: this serial should not be called IPKKND, it should be called the tale of the orphans - it really is a honeypot that attracts all orphans!

  8. oh and what i liked about today's episode - ODG is continuing with her GV act but Khushi being Khushi - she really cant do it for too long and despite her promise to herself of not loosing it with ODB - she does almost loose it! - gets bugged at his comments on 'low class' and hence hatches the 'stay with me and my parents - in our low class place' plan!!

    ReplyDelete
  9. so they are not going to elaborate on the last episode. and it seems anjali was actually taking a class for chote on the feeling of love, nothing more. three days of analyzing.. bhaad me gaya.. ASR's angst.. glossed over .

    today, snailwa's taandav in the honeymooner's bedroom. (shudder).. SN1 why is the bed still half and half? why does no one who comes in the room comment on it? is it such a normal sight? does it not spell out that the whole thing stinks of a hostel room?

    morning.. bitwa goes in for bath.. (still wearing his sneakers.. why not wallet too? ) snake looks in the wardrobe first. then bed... and last, finds it sitting on the table!

    this snake really has an oily tongue! instant escape from TQ .. you rest..and now instant excuse to bitiya. .. I came to flirt! (DDR) perfectly in character, good scene. lifebuoy soap ad, not so much.

    and Dia, it is not a locker per se.. it is just a lockable shelf in the wardrobe.. so normal key.

    cut to bubbly.. she is another orphan.. home from boarding school.. get me some glycerin spray! ( Raizada house has such a big heart.. housing so many parentless people!) now I know why bubly's plans are not set.. she is destined to be bounced around relatives houses during school vacation..poor girl.

    tell me why NQ's husband does not tell her all about the nanhe visitor before she gets here? if he was so excited to see her, he would be talking NQ's ear off , right? or at least the bare details.. who is she, why she came? instead she has to unknowingly hurt a cute little girl. hmm. (i'm judging you, CVs!)

    suite 101:she returns his wallet.. "dont touch my things!" .. "you can count the money if you want" "no no no.. i dint mean that" (awww) "so you trust me?" "yeah right"(his expression) ROTFL http://s19.postimage.org/5pcfb45qr/image.jpg

    suite 102: poor little bubbly is upset. and akash does nautanki. and the line.. "grow up Mr. A" so now we know that all orphans grow up too soon. ppl with parents are the ones who dont.

    suite 101, pativrata is on stage. called him "her governor" to his face. laid flat on the rug. played with his car keys. bitwa is not hating it (smirk) http://s19.postimage.org/si9ofjdoz/image.jpg

    ahh. AR's glass building.. and bitwa is busy working.. when ladies perfume (very good one, acc to his staff) makes an appearance. and a lipstick mark! no better way to shatter ASR's image, bitiya. "the meeting's over NOW. out everyone" (squee)

    and why the classless remarks? to goad her into taking him to the classless GH? and why third class? i thought they were middle class!( remembering la)

    SN2: wah khushi, amma asked you to come for tea-type visit, and youre going for a week long stay??

    and mamiji is giving him hajmola for the overeating at sasuraal! wah bhai wah. will that scare him into not going?

      You know while reading your comment it struck me - Bubbly meaning no planning only doing - doesn't it actually sound like Khushi :)

      And Bubby not liking any PDA makes her seem like Arnav.

    2. Sandy, I don't like to watch with terribly low expectations.. I want that semi-* when they have an eyelock..(M&B stuff) like it used to be. I will call it a passable episode if it makes me laugh(like this epi), not a GOOD one.

      bubbly-no-planning.. she has not done anything to deserve that label. maybe she did when she came last year.. but this year, we see her planning the weekend outing with Mr. A.. so I'm not sure how far she fits that label.. and her not liking PDAs is questionable too.. Arnav did not like di's birthday gift.. bubbly freely lets A hug her, and lets everyone love her. she only has a problem with bhabs(ridiculous name, that) and thats most probably because her favorite chachu,instead of devoting attention to MissB, is now mooning over his wife ... perfectly normal when you are a love-starved 9 year old.

      so there are not much parallels in their lives except all three are orphans, and grew up to life's realities very quickly.. which will bring them together, I hope.

    3. Jaya,

      Mon's epi was a setting up epi IMO. It is paving the way for something to happen. Creep has access to that secret Arnav is trying to hide and Arnav will hopefully go to the Guptas and stay there. Even a night will do because as a family the dynamics are very different there. No one forces anyone - children do things for elders of thier volition because it would make them happy (discount engagement am talking normal day to day). There is all around affection and leg pulling. Buaji for all her scolding of Khushi loves her to bits and expects a lot from her. And the babuji Khushi relation always warms my heart - Arnav will feel J of Khushi because she has a babuji tho she is technically an orphan but babuji being large hearted will envelop Arnav too into his love and warmth for no other reason but that he is Khushi's hubby.

      Arnav has been going on and on about beint I am Arnav Sing Raizada these past few epis. I think this will be a good chance for him to observe khushi kumari gupta. You knwo when Creep mentioned fond memories of that place, yes it was lechy but but his mention of night time teas and all made me wonder how at RM Arnav eats alone and the family lets him. At GH, even if Khushi came late, Payal would stay up and just give her company.

      You know I would love to see a scene wherein buaji pulls khushi aside and enquires if all is well with her and that she is happy despite of teh unnatural circumstances she got married in - and also expresses her fear for khushi with that creep staying in the same house as her and khushi maybe mentions to her that he is actually being a total creep but she is not going to pay any heed and just do her duty towards the family.

      I hope at dinner Khushi chatters like she has not been offlate telling them all about how each and everyone is loving to her including Lakshmi (wouldn't mid if she skips Arnav and Buaji reminds her!) and Arnav wonders on what is this girl.

      And yeah let her speak of her catering and tuitions linking it to the family's need - let her ask Buaji if her pension has finally come thru - a nice opening for buaji to let slip about how that ex fiance of hers said he wud help but did nothing

      Somewhere what Arnav will end up seeing is how differently the families treat Khushi and bubbly - khushi's every whim and sanak is known whereas only Aakash seems to know bubbly inside out - much like babuji knows his khushi. Also children how much ever they gro up parents and elders always treat them as kids because in relation to the elders they are still small. At RM, everyone tries to treat bubbly like a pseudi adult and not insist that she be that kid she should be. Also now her being 9 yeras seems to be for the sake that khushi was 8 when she lost her parents.

      Delete
    4. I like this idea that arnav will live with the guptas, to see what love in a family is all about..( we all know his own family had no love.) he has to learn more about what makes Khushi Kumari Gupta the way she is.

    5. Jaya, Sandy...there are some posts on the differences between Bubbly and Khushi upbringing...i really wonder if that's the line of thinking of CVs.

      I did not quite get the post mentioned above, in terms of Raizadas not taking up Bubbly's responsibilities...according to me that would be a very judgmental thing to say becos taking up responsibility of a kid is not a trifling thing. This goes to the realm of idealism. Just becos Raizadas are rich, does not mean that they have to take up responsibility for a kid, who has been orphaned.
      I would be very disappointed if the CVs are going to draw parallels to Khushi and Bubbly upbringing, and more importantly what will that achieve for Arnav and the ARHI story?

    6. Rekha, it is not the parallels that are important.. it is the contrast. and the serial does not mention that the raizadas are responsible for Bubbly.. more like she is a guest who comes and stays a few weeks during summer vacation.. (i think, )nothing more.

      what it achieves in the arhi story is that if khushi gets bubblys story... and if bubbly gets khushi's backstory.. those are two big ifs right at this moment.. they might bond over that.. and make a good sidetrack, i hope.

      Delete
    7. Exactly, the serial does not mention that Raizadas being responsible or rather that they have to be. I will be happy, if they don't pontificate on that point..esp since the background for even K's past is hazy.
      I was commenting more on the IF post..
      I agree with u, that K may bond with bubbly, its easy for her as she is charming and Bubbly(being a bit like ASR) might end up liking K...and who knows there might be something interesting here...

    Bak Bak for Mon's epi - Part 1

    Today's epi was a setup to the week ahead and hopefully till the ME this pace continues. Almost every character was shown which made me feel that the next something which will happen will touch all these lives to varying degrees and with varying effects at different times.

    TF gets caught a second time by Anji in Arnav's room but 3rd time he is trying to get that key and he is lucky though Anji foiled it the past 2 times. She nearly foiled it today too and his saying if she doesn’t go away then he will get angry is so true - To him she is the biggest annoyance of his life whom he wishes would just go away. And how easily Anji buys his concern for her and the baby and blocks out all others (thoughts & people).Her blind faith is going to wreck havoc in hers as well as others lives – esp ArHi’s.

    Khushi TF tussle was good. He told khushi "jo kaam karne aaye hain use karlein toh chale jaayenge". today Khushi thought it was leaching but tomorrow when Arnav has a face down with her, she will realize TF was up to something else. And this time I want Khushi to pull strings in a way that she lures TF to the terrace (TF's waterloo) and confront him saying she knows what he is trying to do.

    When TF finally got hold of the key loved what he said "agar khushiji nahi aa dhamkati toh kaam aur aasaani se ho jaata" - how true. If not for Khushi TF's task of pulling wool over the R's would have been so much easier. She came into his life, their lives, he fell for her, she kept coming back to RM, in his fit to try and have her he ended up blurting his true self to Arnav and now is ina mess where his future (financially) is in grave question. To TF it has always been about Anji's wealth!

    That file
    Khushi knows that Mr Roy sent it and when he called Arnav he did not want to discuss it before her. She knows he is hiding the contents from her
    TF saw the file come just after the monthly allowance stopped and he knows Arnav would have done something that will affect him but what?
    Arnav zealously guards the file from both Khushi and TF as he perceives both to be the villain. It seems to be Arnav's ace against them. What is in it?
    Will this finally tell TF that Khushi leaves RM in 6 months?
    Or are they divorce papers for Anji and TF once the baby is born?
    Or is it simply the inclusion of Payal and exclusion of TF from the family wealth? Last one seems plausible cos Khushi will know her sis's future is secure and Arnav will lose that leverage over her and if TF realizes he has lost the prize then with nothing more to really lose, he is going to get downright nasty.
    Or is Arnav going to try and settle a payment at the end of 6 months on Khushi for her “services” which will just disgust her that he degraded the bond of marriage into a pure business deal.

    My CCKKP moment fo the day – Khushi walks into the room from the door and Arnav walks towards her in a collision course – Arnav ‘s reflection started from the mirror and it was his real life persona that ended up almost colliding with Khushi – These 2 are on a collision course now and Arnav’s thoughts about Khushi seem set to move from the realms of shadow into the hard reality of the day. Today Khushi was happy to think that Arnav trusts her but when they actually collide, his mistrust of her is going to spur her on till she stands righteous in his eyes. Because even when she resigned, Khushi said that more than the contract, it is the name Khushi Kumari Gupta on the contract that holds more value for her. And KKG is an upright girl with good moral values who will not bear her name being maligned.

    1. That moment it also seemed like they were converging to a single point - about the wallet and what it contained. The key / answer to their questions.

    2. the key.. he is protecting it, she does not know it exists.. like the reason for their marriage. (oh darn.. i'm starting with the symbolism thingy!!)

    3. one of the things I love about sham's character sketch is that he never lies.. he says the truth in such convoluted ways that others do not get the truth.. only outright lie he ever said was mentioning khushi's name (only once) in the MU seed, and that too was because arnav said it first..

      the file.. I thought it was simple.. arnav talked on the phone with Mr. Roy about removing sham's Joint account/ allowance and funding only anji's personal account.. so the papers were redrafted, and delivered to his home.. I never knew there was such a mystery in the files. only mystery is that sham does not know exactly what is written there, and him being a lawyer, wants to find the exact wording or some such stuff.

    4. HAA,

      i completely agree that Anji has blind faith in TF/SS and it will create havoc in everyone lives - it actually is already doing so in Arhi's

      but to be fair to her, when you love someone - you do a bit blind - or lets just say you don't want to believe that that person could be false - could hurt you - hence even when he tells her the truth (about looking for the papers/about trying to marry again etc) she DOES not want to believe it and thinks he is joking - it is easier to accept it as a bad joke rather than as the truth - that part is actually very true to life

    5. Mona,

      I agree to what you are saying. This blind faith scenario happens to many in real life.

      And next time, once you finish typing - just so a select all and copy before hitting publish - loss of comment mere saath bhi hua hai :)

      I like how you have laid out the case in the favour of the swami act playing a role and its need.

    6. Jaya,

      Spot on about Shyam. But even in the Khushi case I do not think he said she loves me (DDR squared) in so many words more like left something unsaid and let Arnav draw his conclusion. He just said RS came between us which was true from his view.

      As for the file - well if it is as simple as you state it then it is like the scorpion red herring. Else if they actually make it out to be something because Arnav seems to be paranoid about they key and not letting Khushi or TF see it then it cannot be just the account.

      You spoke of TF sepaking the truth and he had said when she first caught him in that room that he was looking for the property papers. TF thinks it is Arnav's next move at him after stopping the money. So he needs to plan an appropriate counter move. If you notice he has been very very cautious with Anji and Arnav since he came to know of the file trying to appear as straight as possible. He has actually upped the sweetness quotient with his wife since then.

      Also call me stupid - but that dialogues' of TF in Mon epi where he tells Arnav I no longer need you key I have my own can be made an analogy of. It could be thought if Anjali now becoming TF's key and no longer remaining Arnav's ace - so far his dhamki to TF has been to stay put with Di else you are a pauper but what if that threat became null and void.

      Reading too much - maybe - because CVs have a knack of phussing my ideas and clever hopes.

  11. Bak Bak for Mon's epi - Part 2

    Khushi continues her Pativrata Khushi act but in a toned down manner. That day she said humein karnein deejiye – today she insists on helping him with his jacket and handing him his hanky and keys. That moment when Arnav turns around and Khushi went Hey bhagwaan and the man looks down in shock was so ROFL – almost felt he thought he had forgotten to wear his pants that morning : )

    And Arnav sees her sugar coated concern he is annoyed with but misses her points of “Your tiffin has already reached your office today” and her “Enquiry about him having eaten of skipped his lunch when he called her” True in anger, people blot out the obvious at times. Arnav told Khushi he faked it but she has woken up to the possible danger to his health if he does not eat well and on time – that did not go into her ways to annoy ASR list too.

    And why did Arnav get disgusted – because of his opinion of Khushi’s moral values at present. In this state, a perfumed hanky with a lipstick mark is very reminiscent of the other woman persona.

    Finally the much awaited phone call from maayka asking about the girls and the bade damaad! Khushi so sweetly paints a picture of marital bliss to her mum hiding her pain even from that one person we always go to in our darkest hour. She speaks of him being fine, no mention of ill health and about how he will live for a 1000 years. It would have been a tea time visit but Arnav had to cut his nose to spite his face so a stay it is going to be. Class well KKG will show him class. So she calls her mum right back and tells her they will come over.

    Arnav for a moment is jolted to see packed bags and Khushi going. But she gleefully informs him that she in not running away but they happen to be going together. I liked the fact that again Nani was shown championing Khushi’s cause of going to her maayka because she was missing her parents but was worried about her hubby as he had been unwell. So Nani says she suggested that Arnav also accompany her. It also shows that unlike the last time Khushi just up and left to her maayka, this time she has discussed with Nani and it is shown as her choice to send the 2 of them home. No need to cause worry to the G’s that their daughter is over suddenly neither what the R family will think and it will be ok for her to stay for a long time. Arnav demurs that he will not go. But the precap makes it seem like he is going.

    I was ok with Arnav seemingly going Haq Se to G house rather than be invited over. Somehow you do that with your favourite son in law because you make him feel you consider him more a son. And Arnav has always been comfortable at G house. When he went for Aakash rishta, he found a chair for himself. When he went for the shagun, he calmly told them he will find his way to the washroom to clean his shirt. And its good they are there because now Arnav will have to fall in line with the HMC act to make sure that the other family does not suspect anything after all they are Payal’s parents too and Aakash’s in-laws.

    4. he does Jaya..but he is also more aware aware you know...she feels it too but not like he does..maybe because he has realized his feelings(though hates her)! and having a beautiful woman in the same bed at her house has to lead to something naa!!!
      i read somewhere(dont remember here or IF) that he will get the guest room and she her old room...dont see that happening even if they both want it..buaji will never let a married couple sleep seperately!!!

  12. wrote a post and lost to no net connection! uff - using office lunch for this!!

    Just wanted to say - i for one have come to terms/made peace with the pace and the on going track -
    I kind of understand the importance of the swami act - its not just for comedy - (which by the way i did enjoy!) its meant to take the story forward. After the very emotional HR scenes ODG was really shattered and had pledged to stay away from ODB - he too had decided to 'not care' if she was around (now whether that he wanted to avoid her or forced himself to do so is a different matter!)
    so had the swami act not happened - they would have avoided each other - there would have been no conversations, no getting in each others way, no carrying for her husband and him depending on her, no looking after each other (her, when he was sick, him saying 'watch out' when her head was covered!), no interactions would mean not learning more about each other, building the trust and so on. Hence swami act was imp!

    Now their going to GH is also important - it opens up venues for Babuji to play a role, opens up possible venues for clearing the MU and opens up possibilities of OGB & ODG spending time together without the interfering TF & TQ and also for ODB to see his KKG is her normal pre-wedding avatar (like old times)!!!

    I agree that the story has so much potential, its so possible to build a good story with good pace and 'good episodes' but have realized that though the initial script writer/the creator of the characters and the actors (leads) are damned good - the CVs are just not up to the mark - the guys who actually do the day to day episodes do not have the same brilliance as the actors hence the problems in continuity during the scenes as well as the tracks. so have made peace with it - and then i have this blog to rant, right :D

    (SN watched a random episode with my mother of a series staring Mona Singh - sorry don't remember the name - but was amazed at its pace - this lady finds out that her husband has been cheating on her, she reacts like a normal person, shouts, screams even slaps the guy! and tells the family - no hiding - no keep it a secret and suffer type of logic - all in one episode - was pretty catchy!)

  13. Frantic - are the so called 'spoilers' stated on IF any good???
    Just read one which said - ASR is to loose all his money and ODG will stand by him during this - i mean like all the stupid serials on SP - the riches to rags thing in a the blinking of an eyelid!! seriously - if that happens- i wash my hands off this serial! seriously hoping they don't turn this story into the worst of the most idiotic serials that are a dime a dozen on screen!!!

    1. I think too many spoilers are there now in the absence of Mishti and the zee girl...those were the authentic ones., just abt scenes not about future plots..
      I would trust a spoiler on scenes not on too much on the plot...
      Btw, the person above also posted a clarification mentioning its a financial loss in a transaction not ASR turning poor...
      As it, uski wardrobe ke wande hain...ab poor ho jaye toh kya hoga..hehehehe

  14. Yes Dia, this gopi act is what I expected too, and thank God for the less OTT (No Swami to his face).The absence of 'swami'is going to confuse ASR more. Now it will be difficult for him to find out whether she is acting or for real. For a moment even the viewer is confused when she says, so U trust me. Now, was that K or GK? At first I thought she was going soft too soon but then her subsequent expression (which ASR does not see) shows that she is pulling his leg subtly. ASR is in real soup now. OTT was easy, but now she will keep him guessing.Even the perfume and the lipstick would not have irked him so much had he known it was an act. He keeps telling her she is a good actress but he still does not know how good she is!!
    I am so happy with this K. She is in control now. No tears, no anger. Lets see who wins this round. He said nautanki, now let him know what nautanki is...
