14/6 - Epi 275 ... Let the Mind Games Begin :)

Thursday 14th June

I already have a title in mind - let me see if the episode goes the way I think it will ;)

Edit - didn't go exactly the way I thought, but close enough ;)
Further data collection - check.
Put pieces together - check.
Full knowledge of Shyam's plan - not yet, only partial.
Formulate plan of action - check.
Start implementing it - one step ahead of the game.
The title stays :)

Quick take as I have an early morning start tomorrow ... this episode needs lots of decoding :)

Khushi opens briefcase, finds Arnav's passport and ticket. Hence proved - Shyam is involved without a doubt. She wants to accuse Shyam straight off, NK tells her to wait.
They need to return the papers.
Anjali stops Shyam from going up during the havan. Giving NK-Khushi breathing space to do the needful. Shyam twitching at his watch.
Khushi getting more and more angry ... while DM music plays ... Khushi ready to dharo Shakti roop - DM firmly by her side.
She goes off to return papers.
Shyam gets his call and moves to go up. NK calls Khushi back. Khushi pretends to stumble, she has to stop Shyam going up.
Drama of sprained ankle. Exchanges places and envelope with NK. Using Shyam's weakness against him ... well done!
Payal gets her memory back and becomes Jiji again ... no, you don't touch my sister, you creep. :)

NK replaces paper - takes his own sweet time about doing it! Khushi sees him return and stops the drama ... uh oh, NK still has the key ... he goes to put it back ... trapped by Shyam's return. Overhears ... Shyam wants to show Arnav actually entered Scotland ... manages to escape just in time.

Shyam Manohar Jha, do you actually want to put a fake Immigration Stamp on Arnav's passport? Am pretty sure that's a a grave felony in every which way ...

NK and Khushi debate about Shyam's plan ... what exactly is Shyam planning to do, and why? No ransom note yet either, what does he want? Of course, they don't know about the two wills.
So Khushi puts a counter plan into action ... and Shyam is for once baffled ... why does Khushi need the money?
Let the mind games begin :))

Some few weeks back, when this whole kidnap saga started, we had a shiddat - mind games between Shyam and Khushi - with Khushi winning. Looks like it's slowly gonna come true.

*edited*
Quick update today, as hubby is home sick with a cold, and won't let me sit on my lappy for too long ;)

Thoughts:
Story movement today -
Shyam's involvement in Arnav's kidnapping is conclusively proved with finding Arnav's boarding pass and passport in his briefcase.
Khushi, with DM's blessing, is ready to dhaaran karo Shakti roop and wage war.
NK is her friend and guide ... Hanuman fits him better today, the way he was looking under the pillows for a briefcase :)) and strolled out with the key, and had to rush to put it back.
However, he is part of DM's army, and this too happened for a purpose ... he overheard Shyam's conversation with SK Travels about putting a fake Scotland stamp on Arnav's passport.
NK and Khushi action plan gets ready and the first phase is put into action. Khushi asks Anjali for two lakh rupees in Shyam's hearing, together with an excuse that Shyam knows is fabricated.

Yesterday I said Payal would form rear guard action in DM's army ... today she confirmed it by remembering that VLR is Creepwa and should not be allowed anywhere close to her younger sister.

Anjali prevents Shyam from going upstairs and finding the missing passport. Shyam's words - aap toh hamara koi hathiyar kaam ka nahin chodti. So will Anjali finally nullify Shyam's most potent weapon - which was the need for Arnav and Khushi to hide his truth from Anjali in the first place? 

Also Anjali's words to Khushi - are you really not in pain, or are you just saying it to not trouble us?

Scenes I loved -
Khushi's anger, rage and helpless fury as she gazes at Shyam during the aarti ... his double face exposed to her completely :x With the background music, very apparent that the final showdown is approaching, as Khushi gets ready with DM's blessings to don Shakti roop. Excellent expressions by Sanaya, and added to by the great bg score. Also liked the way NK had to put a hand on her shoulder to calm her down. 
Payal snatching Khushi's hand from Shyam, snatching the balm from his hand when it seemed he was ready to apply it :)
Khushi-NK wordless teamwork ... Khushi goes up, followed by Shyam with his sudden phone call, NK sees, stops Khushi immediately, Khushi sees Shyam, comes back, has to stop him so the sprained ankle drama, passes the passport envelope to NK on the stairs, NK takes over while Khushi distracts Shyam, gritting her teeth and using his weakness for her for the very first time ... keep your friends close and your enemies even closer. Again, fabulous emoting by Sanaya here - the momentary closing of eyes as she mentally prepares herself to do something she hates doing ... then holds Shyam's hand ... 
Also Shyam's anger as Payal snatches the balm from him, preventing him from touching Khushi again ... and the way he looks at his hand which Khushi just held ... yes, Khushi is still Shyam's weakness ... the question is which weakness is greater, Khushi or money?

Is Masala Mama there for a purpose? Him and his timely phone calls?

Khushi is prepared to use her enemy's weakness against him, however much it makes her gag. Her enemy's weakness happens to be - her. So now she has an action plan -
Saam, Daam, Dand, Bhed ... Google baba ki jai :)
Four principles used to attain success in a task, or to extract truth from a culprit.
Saam refers to use of influence, ‘sweet words’ or any non materialistic influential factor that can be used.
Daam is money, though I would like to call it any materialistic wealth that can be used, it includes bribing too.

Dand means punishment, to punish by some means in order to achieve desired result.

Bhed means to divide and rule. Also remembered the old saying 'ghar ka bhedi Lanka dhaaye' ... bhed also means secret or deceit ...

So Khushi is prepared to deceive Shyam to get to Arnav.
Daam - The two lakhs - will she use money to bribe the KN? Or to pretend to Shyam that she has gotten a ransom demand and she is ready to pay it? Thus leading to
Bhed - divide and rule between Shyam and his goons - he thinks they are selling him out because he can't decide what to do with Arnav and his plans are stuck - as is their money? And let Shyam catch her, and then pretend to 'let out by accident' about the kidnapping and how worried she has been ... and then allow him to help her ...
Saam - part of the bhed - sweet talking Shyam.
Dand ... will come right at the end, of course. 

Final thought - the dress Khushi is wearing - she wore it for the first time on the ME, when she bid farewell to Arnav. Will she be wearing it when he returns?

    3. I know what you mean but am enjoying the drama ... cvs have again managed to balance out the screenplay for both dig deeper viewers and general viewers (like me) &this week had been abundant in family scenes .... I do like good family drama with just the right emotions. It makes a love story much more believable .... I am waiting for the day when these two steel headed person will at last confess but with their past present &future haunting them ... how exactly they strike the balance between family &their relationship. Once confessed they definitely will not let go other so easily but it won't be an easy walk together either!!

      WOW .... so much is waiting for us :)

    1. Hmm..Risking Rekha calling me a DQ again but Khushi playing mind games from the movie Don
      "Yeh Mera dil pyaar ka deewaana
      Deewana Deewana Pyaar ka Parwaana
      Aata Hai Mujhko Pyaar main jal jaana
      Mushkil Hai Pyaare Tera Bachchke Jaana

      Dil Vo Chaahe Jise Chaahe Jise Use Paaye
      Pyaar Vo Yaar Ke Jo Naam Pe Hii Mit Jaaye
      Jaan Ke Badale MeiN Jaan LooN Nazraana
      Yeh Mera dil pyaar ka deewaana

      Pal Pal Ik HalChal Dil MeiN Ik TuufaaN Hai
      Aane Ko Hai Vo Manzil Jisakaa Mujhe Aramaan Hai
      Bhool jaa Naa Tujhe Dil Kaa Ye Takaraanaa
      Yeh Mera dil pyaar ka deewaana"

      And who can forget the most famous - "yeh tumhe aur mujhe pata hai ki bandook main goliyaan nahi hai par police yeh nahi jaanti!"

      And for the DM ki apaar kripa yday and today from teh new movie Agneepath (also when she finds teh boarding pass and ticket - there is an idol of Ganesha just above Khushi in that scene)
      "Jwala si chalti hai
      Aankhon mein jiske bhi
      Dil mein tera naam hai

      Parwah hi kya uska
      Aarambh kaisa hai

      Uski nazrein utaare
      Dar bhu usse daraa re
      Jiski rakhwaalia re
      karta saaya tera

      teri dhuli ka teeka kiye, Deva jo bhakth tera jiye
      Usse amrit ka hai moh kya, Haske vish ka wo pyaala piye..

      Shatruon ki katare, Ek akele se haare
      Kan bhi parvat hua re, Shlok banke jahan re..

    2. Ahaaaa.... Love the song from tridev. The music is excellent and I had really liked the film as well.
      The song is surely well suited to the situation. Can't wait for the face off now! Looks like it will be a knock out round!!!!

      Random thought and a bit late as well. I was watching the hut epi again and realised that it was the first time Arnav gave khushi a small explanation and apologies for his actions before hitting her.....

  5. Girls

    Haven't seen the episode but read the update !!
    So Shyam want to make it authentic that Bitwa has gone to Scotland ?? Although I said that Shyam is trying to release Bitwa and covering his trail, can’t understand why he wants’ to show that Bitwa has gone to Scotland ?? and is he talking about the Visa or the Scotland immigration stamp ?

    ReplyDelete
  6. Yes that part is not clear at all .... I mean why is it necessary?? Neither @ home nor @office anyone is suspecting even .... Its the 10th day. Why would Arnav need that when no one would even dare to ask? Cause Khushi already knows &shyaam knows that khushi know about Arnav being kidnapped. It can be for Rani Sahiba sake .... Or more likely so that when Arnav gets hand on VLR .... He won't be able to take any legal action as according to documents he had been in Scotland for the 10 days(?) he was kidnapped.

      team will play this showdown drama real good.... By 300th episode IPK will reach new high .... that's 25 epis away .... some equations are going to change completely. Story will be set for the next phase.

      and good thing is they don't have to waste time for mega serials sake ... one advantage of having wasted almost 30 epis on OTT comedy .... not that I appreciate it .... would have loved the drama more if it reached the high by 1st year Anniversary ... chalo der ayee duroost aye !! :D :D

  7. just a thought .. maybe he needs it as proof to cover his tracks if khushi or when he releases Arnav, Bitwa is sure to take legal action,
    if the documents shows he is in scotland for the period he states kidnapped.. it wont stand ?

  8. Don't think you can get an immigration stamp without actually getting to scotland and wanting to enter the country. Don't think immigration authority would stamp it just like that....

    1. UJ

      Exactly So if needs to show that Arnav was in Scotland he needs have entry and exit immigration stamp and that's only possible when a person travels...
      And it isn't easy as getting other government documents.. and he needs a stamp of Scotland immigration and that even more impossible !!
      or we will forget the logic here ??
      And say it was just included because of the promo or more so as a proof for NK as well for Khushi to be sure that VRL is behind the kidnapping ???

  9. The only way you would get the passport/visa stamped is if you go through immigration at that airport. Very strict rules nowadays.

  11. Could it be because he wants to show Arnav was in Scotland when he died of natural causes? And kill him there? But then he would need to show the body being brought back ... too farfetched.

    Am stumped - maybe a good night's sleep will help :)

    1. how do one kill a person naturally ? A diabetic may go to hypoglycemic coma but then again if he is allowed to fly (Scotland because family already knows he is in there).... he very well can take care of himself and move out of 'Kidnappers' reach? .... I think this is just a ploy to confirm Shyaam the kidnapper to Khushi .... VLR is going to fail &before he can come up with anything good ... he will be outplayed by Bitiyas army &reach Arnav ..... Saying so cause Bitwa is back to the show by 18th .... hai na -666 :D :D :D

    2. Sama - 18th or 22nd?

    3. 18th am expecting a precap or more depending on how much they can shoot in a day &the answer is a lot ... his fight sequences were shot in a day ... bitwa is suppose to be on set from 16th on wards and completely from 22nd, no more 'chumbak' after that ... Nannav ko chuda ke lekar ayenge!!!!

      18th is Sandy's numeric prophesy which has been bang on previously ! :D

      Delete
    4. Sama,

      Su came up with 666 = 18 and I just suggested it could be ASR's return to the telly screen - I mean except for a very fleeting scene on Mon, the man has been missing from the serial these past 4 days. Plus today was a no precap day and tomm is a Fri - sigh I am reminded of NYE epis when they were playing these games with us bechaara viewers

    5. Oh back in those days wasn't an addict ... I wonder what life was like for people who were IPK & ArHi addicts back in Dilwai ... Kayamat I must say !!!

  12. I don't understand the point in getting a imigration stamp. It is also illegal I think. Does Shyam still intend to try and kill Arnav by some accident in th UK/Scotland. Or is going to brain wash Arnav to forget where he has been all this time. And what does he do about Khushi, as he knows that she knows about the kidnapping.

    Looks like Di and nani have forgotten that khushi was to travel to meet arnav in London? Have they not thought about sending her to Scotland since they think he is there...

  14. another theory.. shyam is actually sending arnav to scotland now?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Maybe J !! but I still don't understand why will he do that ?? with the sidekicks he has hired and ASR escaping once already wouldn't he take a major risk?

      All he could do is to make his grounds covered and release ASR, because he kills ASR one he will lose the money and there are lot of chances that he might get caught because Mami and khushi could find Arnav in captive and Anji had a clue about SK travels !!
      So he won't kill his golden goose at he moment !!

      Delete
    2. why should Arnav really agree to that?? The same reason he agreed to be accompanied by the kidnappers .... Really want to know what it exactly was ???

      Delete
    3. I so want to know why in the first place ASR agreed to go with KNs??

      Delete
    4. aaru, if snakewa has the fund to hire goons, he has the funds to book a plane ticket.. but of course the dates will be different, but arnav will keep quiet to his family to keep Di sane.

      he cannot kill arnav period.. so i guess he is trying to cut his losses.

      sama, THAT (The same reason he agreed to be accompanied by the kidnappers .... Really want to know what it exactly was ???)is a good reason!!

      Delete
    5. hope this reason is a very strong reason &is cleared by cvs ... though I don't doubt they will keep any loop hole with this track ... they have done it so well (talking about telly logic here not the real world out).

  15. How are they going to get him on a plane and keep him quite while he is in the air. Then pass through airport security. If they kill him in UK/Scotland there Could be an investigation. This could be very interesting. Looking forward to it enfolding.

    1. no lin, no one's planning to kill ASR now.. snake simply cannot because the moment there is a question on cause of death, money goes to trust.. snake wont risk that. .. so murder plan cancelled.. now the question is, how to get rid of this biting dog.. sham is looking for ways...

      girls, any ideas?

      Delete
    2. Yep either he allows Arnav to getway since till now we think ASR does not know about him as the KN , or if has a clue that Khushi suspects him he might let Khushi rescue ASR and is unware that Khushi knows that he is the KN that will be Khushi's weapon against him at the confrontation ..
      or strike a deal with Khushi asking her to keep her mouth shut and He will realse Arnav ! and any day its out Arnav is dead !

  16. We are all turning into sleuths here, aren't we? ;).... I don't know about Khushi-Shyam mindgames, but it looks like we are all participating in one trying to decode the CVs next step.....what a love story!!

    My two cents worth - send back a comatose ASR with a stamped passport back??? VLR can then give him a daily dose of poison by drip, ASR would APPEAR to die of natural causes and no one would be around to question him.

    Seriously tho, releasing ASR with a stamped passport does not make sense (just yet) because altho he hasn't seen Shyam's face, nor heard his voice, there is no reason he will not try and unearth his mysterious kidnapper - legal action to dur ki baat hai - ASR would ensure that justice is meted out in a way that no-one else would really know about it - kinda like stopping the bank transfer bit.

    two things i would like to see/unfold soon....one, khushi thinking about the papers she got signed and the photo of the same(now she know Shyam is KN and he stopped asking for papers after Arnav left/kn)....two, what exactly happened at airport that Arnav moved out with those cartoons(those goons make me laugh every time they appear on screen) so queitly....

  19. What if Shyam obtains stamp on PP showing rather proving he was in Scotland, bumps off ASR in India and then disposes his body carefully so it can't be found. When the family eventually realise Asr has been missing for a while and report to police, their investigation shows he was last in Scotland (stamp on PP), obviously no info found in Scotland and asr is declared missing....
    Legally I'm not sure in these circumstances what happens to the will. I guess the will is opened and executed. Since no body found in mysterious circumstances the money does not go to the trust as mentioned in the will....
    I guess this is too far fetched but possible????

    Also thinking about what they might have told him at airport: may be about harming Di and baby if he did not go with them????

    Sorry if I don't make sense

    1. But UJ, if he is declared missing - its not the same as declared dead - and if i am not mistaken - there is a very long waiting period before the missing person can be declared dead - so the will does not come into effect till then - Hey lawyers on the Blog - am i right?

      Delete
    2. Mona, u r right, a period has to be established .I think it is 7 years, if i am not mistaken (indian evidence act, sometimes, even habeaus corpus may apply...produce the person within that period)
      However, in this case, due to codicil, the disappearance is also a unnatural circumstance so that can't achieve anything. Only death by natural causes....

      The one thing that just does not fit any logic here is the immigration stamping that is just not possible to achieve (even if i suspend all logic, i can't fathom how that can be achieved?

  20. They could knock him out again, dump him, watch when he comes round and when he reaches home Shyam give the signal for Arnav to receive call to threaten his sisters/wife's life, not realising that Khushi knows who the boss is. Shyam will then start thinking of another plan to get his hands on the money.

  22. ladies - so what happened today:

    1) Payal is alive!!! yaahh! and she has eyes and hands and a voice!! miracles i tell you :D :D - and she is back on KKG's side!

    2) ODG has started her mind games with TF - first the hand holding then the money demand - i feel she is going to act (in front of TF) as if she likes the money and is fleecing the raizadas - just like Shyam - that she is like Shyam!!! (eeww! Dettol rinse!!!)

    3) don't know if you all felt it - but am pretty sure MM has a role to play - he is not an added feature - something fishy about him

    4) yes of course Dia and all - fake stamps on a pp is a felony but considering our villain has kidnapped, attempted murders (not just one) - am sure a mere felony is not going to stop him!
    Having said that - i feel the CVs are building a story which is far from clear - if ASR has a stamped pp - yes it says he has been in Scotland -dates don't matter - if TF can manage a fake stamp - he can show wrong dates - but the question is - why? what will TF get out of showing ASR is in Scotland? - Can't think of any reason - ODG knows he has been kidnapped and ODB is not going to sit idle if he ever escapes (or is let loose) - irrespective of if he knows who the kidnapper is or not - after all ASR is not going to take it lying down and not try to find out who is behind all this!!

    One very very outlandish idea - TF cant Killl ASR but he can say ASR is mentally unsound - (i know very star plusish!!) and the best way to prove that is to let ASR come back - claim he was kidnapped but all docs will show he was in Scotland!! - ok its official - i am nuts!!

  24. Rambling about:

    1. Payal sees Shyam getting physical with Khushi fr the first time
    2. Boarding pass (ticket) first showed King and then spelled Kindowm Airways
    3. SK in SK Travels implies Shahrukh Khan or Salman Khan ;)(Baazigar, Judwaa, Karan Arjun)
    4. NK says "Hum baat saaf kaise karenge?"
    5. Khushi, NK and Mami know Arnav has been kidnapped, Khushi and NK know who the kidnapper is bit what is the motive if not ransom and why teh need to show bitwa did travel to Scotland?? (lots of thought flying about in the blog about this)
    6. Achilles Heel - achilles tendon connects the calf to the heel and passed thru from behind the ankle in humans
    7. Today Khushi intended to detain SHyam hook or by crook but what she has seen is that her pain affects him and she can manipulate him with that - DOes she pretend to apologize for believing he had stolen teh papers and did not want to help her clear her name = "Keep ur friends close and your enemies closer"
    8. Maha Arti - reminded me of the Ganga ki Maha Arti on the ghats of Benaras
    9. Was Shyam threatening Khsurana the otehr day too regarding Arnav's passport?
    10. The passport glitch was unanticipated by SHyam because he never realized that getting Arnav to call home and manage matters from getting the police involved will result in this. He thought it will be a grab and kill but then found out about the addendum to the will in teh event of Arnav's death by unnatural circumstances - Is he planning to release him back and blackmail him with Di's baby's life thru the KN and instead tamper with Arnav's medication like he did for babuji so that he seems to die due to his ill health? However Khushi confronts him before that or Arnav escapes and in teh meantime Khushi follows SHyam and her pateience gives up and she confronts him about Arnav and tehe is a dhamaaka to erase the terrace scene?
    11. Khushi said night school for girls - is teh confrontation happening tonight? Do Khushi and NK follow Shyam and find out the new hideout where they are holding Arnav?
    12. Too sleepy now to think of more stuff from the Payal Khushi balm conversation

    ReplyDelete
  25. Well, i have nothing new to offer about the fake stamps and the reason behind it all. It is quite confusing. Almost as confusing as to why arnav was kidnapped but not killed. We got an answer in the form of a codicil. May be we'll get an answer to this question too, hope it is logical in some way. Was glad payal finally found her voice. About time too. If daljeet felt her character had no importance and wanted to leave the show, wondering what deepali would have wanted. From being the supporting actress to the lead actress, she was all but shunned out of the show except for the fillers that only brought down the trp's. She was never even showed to have bonded well with her in-laws, like Khushi.

    On a random thought, I happened to watch a promo of the new show to be aired from 18th. It looks kinda similar to ipkknd. A hero who is a rich heartless guy with no family values and then a bubbly chirpy heroine to whom family means more than money. They will obviously be the star crossed lovers. Isn't this what people generally term as plagiarism??

    ReplyDelete
  26. Wow, we're all going crazy on that one point ... and a good night's sleep didn't do anything to clear the confusion for me ;)

    WHY does Shyam want to prove Arnav was in Scotland at all? And if he just wants the stamp, obviously he has no intention of actually sending Arnav there. Arnav going missing would also classify as suspicious circumstances, and the will would not come into effect until proof of death was obtained or for seven years (I think, from vague recollection of old movies) after person went missing.

    Is Shyam just trying to cut his losses in this one?

    Or are the cv's at a dead end for Shyam's plans and this was just put in to prove conclusively that Shyam is behind the kidnapping? And to set up a rendezvous time and place for the showdown ... night school near Buaji's house ... the first warehouse where Khushi found Arnav was near Buaji's house, night school meaning the rendezvous is tonight ... meaning Friday night stretching to Monday night in IPKland. Because now instead of Khushi following Shyam to SK Travels, Shyam will follow Khushi to find out what she wants to do with the money.

    And will the Khushi-Shyam promo come into play now, as Khushi plays tricks pretending to team up with Shyam to make him lead her to the final hideout?

    Will edit main post soon :)

  28. So, what about khushi getting shot? Is that gonna happen? My thinking is that shyam will realize khushi's double-crossing him, will realize ASR and shoot khushi to keep her quiet? Maybe nota in a fatal way, but as a warning? Like maybe he would have wanted to shoot arnav but khushi notices this and comes in between (i know, too philmy) and then shyam gloats about how the next shot will be aimed at arnavji the next time if khushi doesnt keep her mouth shut

    now i have one concern - the CVs have taken their own sweet time to build the kidnapping scenes - and the last week or so it has moved at a faster pace but still (to cover up ODB's absence of course) - I just hope the climax is as strong and they just don't wrap it up to move to the next track - i mean this build up should have a satisfying climax - one with all the answers given, FBs of ODB - why, how, when type questions answered, reasoning behind TF etc etc

  31. Dia,

    Edited post was nice! Same pinch for thinking of Saam Daam Dand Bhed.

    and yep even I wondered why khushi had to wear THAT MEwaals pink dress - ArHipathy at work.

    Good one about "ghar ka bhedi lanka dhaaye" - it can be khushi's divide and rule for Shyam and his kidnappers. now what if we extrapolate this thought to the other 2 players in the game

    for shyam - it could mean the division of RM by causing a rift between anjali and arnav; perhaps by blaming Khushi for trying to trap him?

    for arnav - could it hint at a divide and rule strategy for shyam and khushi which he had set in motion? apart from marrying khushi and excluding shyam from the raizada wealth

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Hmm ... true, but ghar ka bhedi Lanka dhaaye is more for the enemy within ... betraying his own side to the opposite side, that's why I used it for Khushi getting the goons to play against Shyam, or Shyam to suspect his own goons.

      So I can't use it for Arnav ... Shyam and Khushi were never together ... if he thought that marrying Khushi and giving her a part of the Raizada wealth would set her against shyam it's a non-issue, because they were never together in the first place, and Khushi would not be tempted by the wealth in the first place. However it might be what Arnav set out to do, but mistakenly.

      For Shyam yes, again ... he will use his status as favorite damaad to set Anjali and the family against Khushi definitely, and maybe Arnav and Khushi combo? But then will Mami and NK play their role? He could have done it if no one else apart from Arhi were involved, now Khushi has too big an army.

      I think Arnav will surface in the last scene tonight ... or in the precap ... what do you think?

      Delete
    2. Dia,

      I am hoping for him to surface in the precap today.

      Well ghar ka bhedi lanka dhaaye = betraying his own side to the opposite side
      Fair enough and here are my scrmabled thoughts so bear with me

      I was thinking more about how Shyam Khushi and Arnav each held a secret which resulted in their individual lankas being razed

      Shyam - of his wealth and Khushi (he told Arnav that he RS was teh only obstacle between him and Khushi and he told khushi about his love and how he had followed her)
      Khushi - of a love filled relationship with Arnav (she told Shyam of her forced marriage albeit under bhaang)
      Arnav - of being able to have and love Khushi (a lil indecisive here because i can think of both arnav's TLC for khushi on the morning of payash wedding that shyam saw as well as arnav yelling at khushi by the poolside later initimating him of discord)

      Each holds a secret and each has let out something to the other which has proved detrimental

      What if NANNAV = NANheArNAV and hence if NK is the Hanuman of Arjun's chariot, Arnav is the saarthi of the chariot. Together it is Arnav and NK who will protect Khushi from coming to harm till she wages her battle against Shyam.

      When Mami realizes Shyam's truth (for herself for I do not think NK or Khushi are going to tell her) ust like with Bubbli, she may corner Khushi and demand an explanation and I think Arnav will support Khushi in clearing her stance wrt the past with Shyam and NK will support Khushi wrt Shyam's involvement and Khushi's plan to so called align with Shyam to find Arnav.

      Getting a bit boggled beyond this - the how and when and sequence needs some more thought....

  32. ladies - have you wondered why ODG is not telling Mami about her 'no longer suspicion' about Shyam - she can tell her just as much as NK knows - my reasons:
    1) mami is smart - she will understand TF's obsession with money
    2) Mami needs to be in on the game - ODG needs her army to believe in her - mami is her strongest weapon in the battles to come - she really should keep her by her side
    what say you?

    1. Mona, I wondered the same thing ... maybe once Khushi finds out the motive, she will tell Mami something ... because I think Mami, NK and Khushi should be in at the climax. Unless only NK and Khushi follow Shyam at night, and Mami stays home as Command Centre. It would be wise to have someone at home to raise the alarm if things go wrong.

      My feeling - Shyam will follow Khushi to figure out what her plan is, NK will follow Shyam. They might land up at the first warehouse. Can't think how Shyam will lead Khushi to Arnav, which I am presuming he will do.
      I think the SK Travels was a red herring, as Shyam has dropped them now, he wants to find a new agency.

      Delete
    2. Mona,

      If Mami figures out from Khushi about Shyam inspite of the evidence will she believe it and more importantly, the woman who first asked Aakash some clarity about Scotland before she ventured into her investigation on PS claims, will she not run to tell Aakash such a big thing about Shyam?

      Or given her nature say something about it to Nani or Mama and then where will the home advantage be and who will be able to support Khushi if she is accused by Shyam of having trapped him. No one becasue this time when Shyam maligns her, it will have to be Arnav who will step up for her knowing SHyam played him that fateful night.

      Irony - Arnav's footage brought Shyam to Khushi's rescue upon her honour being maligned. Shyam's attempt this time to malign / blackmail Khushi when she confronts him is going to bring Arnav back into her life and protect her honour from being maligned.

      "lag ja gale ki phir ye hasin raat ho na ho
      shaayad phir is janam men mulaaqaat ho na ho
      lag jaa gale se

      ham ko mili hain aaj ye ghadiyaan naseeb se
      ji bhar ke dekh lijiye ham ko qarib se
      phir aap ke nasib main ye baat ho na ho
      phir is janam men mulaaqaat ho na ho
      lag ja gale ki phir ye hasin raat ho na ho

      paas aaiye ki ham nahin aaenge baar-baar
      baahen gale main daal ke ham ro lein zaar-zaar
      aankhon se phir ye pyaar ki barasaat ho na ho
      shaayad phir is janam men mulaaqaat ho na ho"

      this would have been apt for the 1st june epi when khushi and arnav meet and hug as well as 4th june's hut scene

  33. Thurs episode- ….slower than wed for me.
    Patiently waiting for the track to progress.
    One good thing the epi did, it cleared me of my headache.
    I don’t know where the track is going, but I am sure it is not going where I thought.
    Ok.
    Here goes… the train of thought….of my overactive brain

    666- number of the beast- master of deception-= CVs
    Misleading us as always, maybe the track or the date or both.
    Remember the discussion we had a month ago on why the PH was not clear on the exact date of BS return- we ourselves concluded that they wanted to retain the surprise element of Barun’s return. Maybe we were right back then.
    Hence the convenient number, to mislead us.


    Why I felt the track will not lead to big showdown.
    A) TIMING

    1. Timing not right- BS leave just over, Daljeet out? etc.. not the best time to start a major track.
    2. The showdown should occur somewhere nearing the end of the show or at least, should follow MU clearance and RTR(just a formula my weird brain cooked up.) DOES NOT MATTER ANYMORE.
    3. The show just reached a major milestone at the hut scene. They never jump to the next milestone so soon.
    4. The CVs have never been so kind as to let us know the milestone days ahead. There is usually a surprise element.

      Did they not tell u of 7th May and 22nd May (S word utterance and the ILU confession) - quite big dhamaakas in their respect and about 2 weeks apart.

      Hut scene happened 4th June, 18th June is again around 2 weeks after so another mini dhamaka to banta hai. Something will happen start of next week and once BS is back full time then it is time to fasten the seatbelts.

      Daljeet is not leaving anytime soon take it from me (my instinct purely).

    2. Daljeet is definitely not leaving .... It was good she had her say ... it also made cvs aware of the other sister :)

      Delete
  34. B) Vibes from the show + my pre-conceived notions.

    1. I really felt for Khushi when she opened up to NK. But I didn’t expect him to believe her.(Pre- notion that NK will not make a good detective and it will be another insult to ASR if he has to be rescued by NK, of all the people.) BTW, he proved that when he fumbled with the suitcase and the key. I burst out laughing (on re-watch) when I saw him look under the pillow and blanket for that big suitcase.
    What was the point of that exercise?
    CVs telling me and any other non- believer, can’t U see the obvious???
    2. Yesterday, when I wrote that so-called blooper post, I did not think of it as a blooper. I just wrote down a few things that looked disconnected in the episode.
    3. By the time I finished writing, somehow it looked like a story- Shyam not bothered about K because he knows he has taken care of that headache.
    4. Shyam ignoring K& mami- NK’s casual attitude at havan- Nani and Anji’s different versions for havan- Payal’s newfound love(what was her excuse for leaving the havan? It looked like she was sent up by someone to check Khushi is OK, she was back in her place soon).
    5. NK- may have been already briefed by Shyam when he knew Khushi was in his room- may have connected the dots to the shoe-spied on her activities during the day- may even have told NK that Khushi is having delusions- lets play along with her till Saale Saab is back. The same story he could have told Anji too. Hence nani went to reassure Khushi (raksha pooja for Arnav).NK casual at havan because this is a game and Payal was sent up during the havan.
    Obviously they all know she is worried about Chhote, hence everyone is taking extra care of her.
    That’s how Shyam took care of that headache.
    Very conveniently, mami had a sprain and was unavailable for NK to corroborate K’s story.
    A very far fetched story….because
    1. The PP came in the precap- concrete evidence
    2. Payal should have some difficulty in accepting Shyam’s story. She knows K& Shyam very well
    3. Is Shyam that smart that he can convince NK that Khushi has lost it.

    But those 4 points kept coming back.
    Confusion after confusion.



    And of course thurs episode clarified:
    1.NK is very much in it with her.
    2.Khushi can still distract Shyam (What happened to that shatir dimag that predicted her actions leading to that Shyam in ASR’s office scene? I still cannot accept that Shyam is not using his brains.)
    3.The concrete proof.( how concrete? – later)
    4.Scotland?? WT? What has happened to ASR? Still waiting to be rescued by his biwi?

    Now there are so many questions I have about thurs too, but this angle seems simply too far fetched.

    “Aapne wohi dekha jo aap dekhna chahte the aur wohi samjha jo aap samajhna chahte the”

    Khushi’s line to ASR in the highway clarification, also CV’s message to viewers when we raise a hue and cry when tracks don’t go the way we want.

    Dia mentioned this line yesterday and I decided to put an end to my inbhestigation.

    Much easier to accept the suitcase is there rather than look under the pillow and blanket and then find it!
    So where is this track going?
    I don’t care anymore.
    Can it just move and reach somewhere? I have no problems following the story from any point, but bring it to that.
    Now that NK too knows, what is stopping Khushi from telling Payal?
    Now that they have concrete proof what is stopping them from involving Police and getting Shyam arrested? Shouldn’t that be the next logical step instead of playing this dangerous game?
    Logic out of the window.
    I am back to square one.
    And things are sloooow…..

    i kind of agree with you - it will not be a showdown showdown, - not as in a confrontation on the 18th for sure!

    But the kidnapping track has to end - was doubtful if anyone will even know that Shyam was behind all this - but the last two days episodes have proved otherwise - so there has to be def. progress - i mean both NK and KKG know ASR was kidnapped by ODB - so they wont just keep mum even if ODB does not know - hence i feel the shooting of KKG can happen coz that will give ODG enough time to stay in bed (read go off for her dance show)/for them to show ODB's side of the story and divert ODB from seeking revenge immediately - he will be too concerned about KKG making it

    OR - there has to be progress - so - they might even show TF running off to hide for a bit and ODG&B romancing for a bit before he comes back as viliain in chief.

    have a feeling there is another angle somewhere - the MM is defiantly up to something - why else is he there? As it is the PH is always complaining of lack of funds - so why are they paying for a meaningiless role?

    Replies
    1. MM is around because when you speak of the family, mamji ke bina baat adhoori hai. He too holds snippets of wisdom about Shyam.

      Yday he stepped away just before the Maha Aarti giving Khushi an idea to also make her move but Nani stopped her. - cud it mean something?

      Why did Anji panic about Chotey having gone missing - bcos MM heard Khushi speaking with Nani and brought it to Mami's attention who in turn was discussing it publicly leading to Anji hearing it. - an indication of a similar situation in future thus Anji coming to know that Anav was kidnapped? SHyam was th kidnapper? Shyam is a Fraud?

      Also that day as Khushi was leaving for PDA, it was Nani and MM in that scene.

      Hmm so seems like MM and Nani as a combo main kuch hoga.

      Agree with u that 18th will not be showdown showdown - hmm so what happens?

Mami will come to know about shyam only at the end of the kidnapping track.

      MM yes he does have a role to play, each entry has been for a reason and they wouldn't keep him still,as all he does is attend his phone calls from his mother, So he needs to have some reason for still being there..
      Sandy loved your take on Arnav as saarthi..along with NK as saarthi as said before.. and "What if NANNAV = NANheArNAV and hence if NK is the Hanuman of Arjun's chariot, Arnav is the saarthi of the chariot. Together it is Arnav and NK who will protect Khushi from coming to harm till she wages her battle against Shyam."

    6. Su,


      Kuch toh asar dikhaayo meri pooja paath kaa..hey DM pls aaj ek darshan ho jaaye toh shaaya yeh ladki jaaag jaaye!!!

      See u nailed it MM is always on the phone to his mother. He is communication and giving khabar to his mother. So Mamaji will be communicating and giving khabar to Nani.

      Like NanheArnav is kinda pseudo for Arnav, similarly MM is pseudo for Mamaji.


      And Aaru,

      BHaat happened? No comments from u...no remark on the todu song I quoted from Tridev too. Only UJ appreciated...*sigh*

      Loved your both songs.. Tridev Dialog I was just ROFL !! reminded me how we used byheart the whole lines !!
      but then just skipped to tell you that !!
      And for Kathe nahi kathe .. thats one fav song and was big fan of Sri at that time ! hmm yep Bitwa's dream rain dance !! I hope so we get atleast something .. need Arnav darshan now .. its been long now !

      Delete
    10. Ah Sama,

      DDR for MH&S - yep very much needed. Ofc hand hold was only preliminary. Next week you shall see Khushi pandering to Shyam's ego. And now that he thinks his problem to get the wealth is sorted and Khushi may also be softening to him, won't he get reallllyyy overconfident - much needed for him to gloat khullam khulla when Khushi finally corners him. And also that is why NK knows because he will state witness to it all being a part of Khushi's plan to the family. Don't think Mami would have been able to palate it. DO you recall how she jmped in and started thwacking the KN.

      Aaru,
      Huggs rrey..Oh I was just wondering ki what was up with u. Like Mona says, no Gargs, no Genie, no Rekha also and no gaane :( :( toh was a bit low!

      Good luck with the assignments!

      U know I was thinking more like Khushi knowing Arnav is in Shyam's chungul, recalling him being carried away, breaks down by poolside / terrace with bitwa's shirt (tumhaari long standing wish) and then like Rani Mukheji in Baabul we have dream sequence again and ofc it begins to rain....(Oh can also be the Taal dil yeh bechain hai song....)

      But yeah Arnav darshan much needed...

      U know it was the Mami Khushi NK ten ki tigdi which made me think of Tridev. But yeah totally ROFLed thinking of that dialogue.

      Alrite Rekhs, looks like I am getting dramatic aaj kal...aiiiyyyoooo!!!

      Sama,
      I also keep getting this weird thought ki what is Shyam tries to pretend he saved Arnav - ultimate character proof from his POV and he does not know Khushi knows he is the KN yet and even if she does know he will think ki woh kya bigaad legi bcos he told her ki saales sahab will believe me chutki bajaake (ok who was the genious who floated this idea of shyam trying to save arnav here). He can always say he was going to meet a client and instead found Arnav by the way...

      And once back in RM, tampering with Arnav's medicines will be easie peesie. Maybe Khushi pretends to apologize to Shyam for having thought he had a hand in Arnav's disappearance and now that she does not have those papers, try to get him to side with her by using different tactics..

      Delete
    11. In that case promo would have aired later .... why do I feel suddenly that Arnav himself might do it (if he gets to know shyaams involvement that is& if khushi gets shot ... NK present too) ... Jeejaji saved me .... getting KJ off the hook as he did with jalebi scene .... Mein ne bataya ta jeejaji ko ... when asked by anjali and suspicious looking Mami that ... aap ko kaise pata?

      ASR will do this to buy more time till he gets on something full solid to trap VLR ... he also needs proof to make his family believe .... his words are just not enough for his sister, she will be in denial ... though he is the karta of the house and his words are final .... but here he will be accused of being blinded by love. Cause lets face it ... if RM has acknowledged Khushis good character .... same is painted by VLR in RMwasis mind .... Anjali &Arnav will both support their love .... one blind &one knowingly .... but RM wasis won't know that .... only Payal &NK will support AK .... here again Payal as Khushis sister will be dismissed and accused too of deception ... as for NK ... he is fooled by Khushi.

      Delete
    12. Sama,

      In that case does Arnav escape on his own and make it back home?

      Delete
    13. No ... he escape on his own alright ... but does not reach home ... bitiya and NK joins(NK maybe not) ... VLR sees that Khushi has played with his emotions(??) ... he will not be sure of K but when confirmed her siding A ... VLR will see red ... maybe that's when he shoots A (split seconds where he forgets everything, the will, his golden goose just like how on wedding night he forgot in his gloating to A that he was indeed digging his own grave if A informs Anjali of his deception) .... K takes the bullet ... ends up in hospital.

      Here VLR cannot flee ... ODB will have to explain how is he in India &how did he end uo in hospital with Khushi shot .... In this scenario both VLR &ASR can tell family about VLR saving ASR ... no matter who says it the other will have to accept. VLR for his own safety .... ASR he needs proof &lots to explain family before he lets them know .... &because he will not have time for that either..... his only need at that moment will be to save his girl his love his LIFE !!

      Rest can wait.

      Howz that !!!

    14. Aaru,

      I am leaning towards Baawri Piya Ki type scene - bitwa ke darshan plus a rain sequence

      That day he gave her his jacket which she shrugged but today she will hug it to herself and break down uski yaad main and the heavens will cry with her....

      Dream main ya toh hug hoga ya phir recent hug ka FB hoga

      Delete
    15. Aww Sandy I was thinking of the same song when you mentioned the rain dream and K breaking down, but then wasn't sure how that would go she dreaming on that song !!

      Why I love this song is for two reasons, one Sonu Nigam and then the set up this song !!

  36. Thursday…
    Bloopers or clues or blues or whatever….

    1.What is the safest place to keep your key especially when you are in a hurry to attend havan?
    UNDER the MAT
    Shyam keeps the key under the mat?
    Maybe he has not heard of pockets or wallets.Or even flower pots.
    WHO keeps a key under a mat?
    SHYAAAM???

    2. NK takes so long to find the suitcase and forgets to keep the chaavi back.
    This is the best Bond the CVs could get to assist K? Mami was sooo much better.
    NK’s dialogue: “Khushiji filler mat kijiye” and in the very next episode he is the filler. rofl.

    3.Khushi reads the travel agent’s name and keeps the envelope aside. DM has to let the PP fall out for her to notice? Looks like from now on DM has to do everything for her.

    No more inbhestigations. Just keeping an open mind.

    Dia, nice edit.
    Really lets me know what I am missing out on.

    1. Su,

      Shyam was trying to brush it all under teh carpet - out of people's sight and really in a big household, the last thing people ar expected to do is kneel or bend and lift the carpet.

      Plus when do you roll out the carpet - when you are expecting important guests ;)

      And of cource sarpets also muffle the sound of your footsteps just like Shyam is trying to muffle the effects of hisactions.

      If you don't look at it all well he had to hide it somewhere so under the carpet and NK found it. I once saw IPK like that but somewhee downthe line some things began to click and now the mind refuses to just go back to seeing what is on screen alone..

  38. you know i really don't think the CV think of everything in as much detail as we do - for example - payal going into Anjali's room - we were all going why why why??? but it was more or a suspense filler - so that we feel that TF is going to catch her but its nothing - so the CVs sent her there for no apparent rhyme or reason

    Su - i can so understand - we tend to run away with our imaginations and come up with ludicrous situation and explanations!! and you my friend, did come up with a very interesting scenario (where TF hoodwinks all!!) but then the CVs do something much simpler - the magic, i think is that we still love it!!!:D

    Sandy - so you too feel MM has a role ?? to date the only thing imp on his account is him overhearing ODG & Nani talking which led to the ILU!! - now the CVs need not have done that through him - mami was perfectly capable of creating that kind of chaos - hence my point that MM has more role than meets the eye for now :D

    1. Mona,

      Look at it this way. payal has also begun to realize that Khushi is worried for Arnav (Khushi never told her the reason they got married and there have been no special interactions between the two taht she has witnessed ; she did not see the HR act; so now she needs to start accepting that Khushi indeed loves Arnav for imagine how she will feel when she comes to know that Arnav married Khushi using Payal as leverage. She eeds to know of Khushi's care and concern so her feeling of self guilt would be somewhat lessened though she will never be able to forgive herself for having been the cause of her sister bearing all those taunts and in some way Khushi would have paid back for inadvertantly breaking Payal's first marriage.(par woh khushi hai jise ab bhi lagta hai ki woh is sab ki zimmedaar hai bcos that is what garima and buaji accused her of)

      Plus with the aagman of DM in the house, Payal's eyes are beginning to open towards the creep. It was a raksha havan and after all recall what anji once said "aakhir hum bade hi hain na jo apne choton ki fikr kartein hain"
      She has seen Khushi crying and go to the mandir and then Khushi who never leaves a pooja goes off on her own and the elder sister's concern kicks in

      and payal when she blasts Arnav will tell him how Khushi uncomplainingly put up with that creep under the same roof just so his sister and her sister could have a happy life - poke more needles into that soul - much needed for his repentance!

      As for how much CVs think, they already have the broad story outline in place, and the key milestones that need to be reached, what they keep working out regularly is the actual scenes tehy show and they are in a way linked to other scenes in the past and maybe these guys as a team actually spend time on figuring out these things because when the innuendoes are there they are subtle and consistent with the story.

      Delete
    2. Sandy agree with you, what I have been thinking .. they are now building up payal again in last two episodes.. before this she had her own list of hurdles to handle.. And more so she hadn't witnessed the Shyam creepiness expect for the time when Arhi returned back from GH. so now that she has seen shyam's chance marofying.. She will know what khushi has been going thru may be she might even ask ODG if she has told arnav about this and was it their reason for the marriage, which Khushi will talofy .. But when the truth of the marriage is out Payal will be the one to blast ODB exactly like GH one and then at cafe one, which will start the RTR for Bitwa.. when Payal blasted him it was for the first time he accepted his mistake and the cafe one first time he understood that he has MU khushi and he was the reason for the broken marriage and he tried to rectify it by bringing Akash and Payal closer and convince mami for the weddings ..
      So logically ODB has to stand by Khushi when the whole fiasco of their marriage is out or and how will he rectify that .. by marrying her again in front of the family and society..
      So maybe Khushi needs to get hurt for payal to go tigress ... and Blast ASR ..

    3. Aaruji,

      Guest house sequence ki yaad dilaadi.

      to continue ur lovely thoughts..that day she never let him state his side and even though he repented, he could not convey it to her. This time he will repent and evetually end up saying sorry just like that scene in the gazebo.

      And it was after the gazebo that chunni falling on Khushi's head happened. Shaadi toh hogi hi after all he has to give her the dream wedding she described to her friends.

      Khushi has to get hurt so that like on the wedding night when Khushi faced all those Qs from the family, it will now be Arnav's turn to be bombarded

      Delete
    4. ooooooooo .... the bombarding scene .... how much I have imagined this scene when it happened with Khushi .... only in my imagination was Arnav standing .... but it won't happen together .... he will get it from each and every person as he walks down RTR .... last will be Anjali.... when she is finally out of the shock .... the Anjali we know will never be able to digest that her brother have actually ruined a girls life for her happiness .... she used to get hurt even when ASR insulted Khusi ... "Chotte ese baat mat kijiye aap"

      Delete
    5. YES!! the bombarding scene ! I love that scene.. yes and like Sama said it wouldn't happen together, he will get it from each one as he walks down.. first being payal then Nami.. mami,Akash and last Anji...

      Delete
  39. oh dear just thought of something - if mami does not know (in fact does not even have an inkling) that Shyam is the bad guy here AND Shyam knows that ODG was assisted by someone (maybe he knows its mami maybe not!) - He could manipulate mami and get info out of her on ODG's plans!!

    (ok the overactive imagination is taking over again :D)

  40. Dia,

    More mythology chewing..

    1. Anjali is both Maithili (of RM) and Vaidehi (the sister and the daughter)(Nanhi Khushi will be Janaki)
    2. Anjali will also be (one day) Mandodari who though knowing of her husband's fallacies will nibhaofy her patnidharm even if she has to see her family getting scattered and her children dying in front of her eyes (the wife)
    3. Anjali would also be Gaandhaari who chose the blindfold for her huisband and chose to side with adharma because of the love of her children (the mother)

    If you put it all together to get the character Anjali then she is wuite something don't you think? I was reminded of the movie Lajja.

    1. Khushi can be Sita as the wife and also Ram Dulari (her love for Arnav and her devotion to his wellbeing)
    2. Di's Nanhi Khushi is Janaki
    3. Khushi has shades of Arjun for now but she will also be Draupadi (the shame she faces because of Arnav at the hands of Shyam)

  45. Sandy,
    ‘Next week you shall see Khushi pandering to Shyam's ego.’
    Ouuuuuch….. Is this never going to end?

    The carpet: thank you for explaining it so well! Really makes sense. I couldn’t imagine even a woman hiding a key under a mat. Such an odd place, it could get kicked around or swept off.

    ‘now the mind refuses to just go back to seeing what is on screen alone..’
    This bit really helps, at last!
    It is not ‘logic out of the window’, it is ‘see it with your mind’s eye’. (This was the magic that you wove around the suicide track, helped me a lot.)

    If I remember that, it is not all that difficult to take.
    (Now I know I really need to pay a lot of attention to all that beautiful deep mythology that just seems to pour out of you.
    The carpet was much simpler.)

      And really a heartfelt thank u for saying I wove magic with my words. I only try and all the thoughts floating around here always help.

      Don't force the parallels or anything else on yourself. Step back and it just happens to you. Trust me because that is what happened the week of Holi. I was stuck at work and had no time to watch or read but eventually when I did, I fell in love all over again with Arnav and Khushi.
