10/7 - Epi 293 ... Di-stabilization and the RTRW begin

Tuesday 10th July

Title suggested by my hubby ... kindly give comments on it :))

Title was actually suggested a couple of days ago, I found it most apt for today. Have to say, the cv's are smart ... ArHi at the start of episode, a small smidgeon in the middle, ArHi at the end ... and people will sit through the family drama :))

Today I didn't feel as sorry for Anjali as I had yesterday ... yes, her world got shattered, but it was her conniving, two-timing scoundrel KP's fault ... since she can't bear to lose her fantasy world, she decides to shoot the messenger ... and act like a sulky five year old brat. Did she forget that her brother came back after a fifteen day kidnapping ordeal? Though admittedly, Rocky and the gang were better company than this madhouse :)) All she can do is sulk that her brother threw her KP out of the house ... and make him feel guilty for doing something he should have done six (or however many) months ago. Felt very sad for poor Arnav, trying his best to make up to his nautanki Di ... he should leave her to come out of her sulks and actually get around to asking him in a mature, adult way if he had any reason for his decision ...

As his grandmother did ... and oh boy, Arnav actually told her the entire story ... not saying in so many words that he forced Khushi to marry him ... but Nani could read between the lines ... Am so glad she told Khushi to stay away from Anjali, she obviously knows how irrational and stupid the woman can be. Wish she would tell Arnav also to stay away from his Di ... then Di might grow up!

I preferred Payash to Anjali today ... by far. An actual issue, a genuine grievance ...  Payal will have to work hard to get over this one. She won trust without having to try very hard, but now she's lost Akash's trust ... and it will be much more difficult to get it back.

Unlike ODC (Our Dear Couple) of course ... although I was annoyed at Arnav at the start for leaving his sleeping biwi to go niharo his Di - really, bitwa, what a choice you have! ... I was slightly mollified when he held ODG's hand when she came down to sit with him :) And loved the way they sat together quietly on the stairs ... the cv's seem bent on giving us our shiddat in parts only ... yesterday was the stars and the cup of tea, today was the sitting together ... really, cv's, can't you put it all together??!!! Spelling it out here ... shared chai ka pyala, sitting together at the poolside, gazing at the stars, and Khushi pointing out their parents ... while Arnav gazes at her indulgently ... all clear? Thank you!!! :)

And loved the little ArHi scene at the end ... ASR back in all his suited booted glory, Khushi in a new outfit ... looking sooo pretty!!! And all ready to fuss over her husband ... who very smartly lapped it all up ... and decided Di be damned, he's got much more interesting things to worry about. Like making moves on his very willing biwi for one :)

*edited*
 Epsiode starts with Arnav walking the tightrope, doing the balancing act between his Di and his biwi ...  two parallel tracks ... Arnav's RTR and Di-stabilization ...

 His Di, who has been through the worst times of his youth with him, who has suffered the same tragedies as he has, but has reacted to them very differently ... by becoming weaker and dependent on everyone around her, developing a need to live in a fantasy world, and shut out the ugly realities of life, rather than face up to them. And so the entire family tries to protect her ... today she lies shattered from a truth he tried to shield her from, an ugliness he tried to mask through threats and blackmail ... but today that ugliness unmasked its presence and Anjali's life and dreams lie in tatters.

And the other woman in his life ... his wife, his Khushi ... who has suffered the same loss, lost her parents and became orphaned at an even younger age, yet never lost her zest for life and her fighting spirit, her never-say-die attitude, her ability to confront situations head on and fight her way out ... she took everything he threw at her, absorbed the pain and poison, and spilled out only nectar in return ... and today she is equally shattered, but holding on for him ... and holding on to him ... and he has to give her the support she has worked so hard for, the respect she has truly earned and deserves.

So Arnav sits with Khushi till he's sure she is asleep ... only then does he go to check on Di ... but of course Khushi awakes the moment he leaves her side ...

And Arnav remembers Di throwing him out, her hurt, her tears, her pain ... Di is missing and he worries again as he looks for her ... only to find her sleeping in Nani's room.
Nani warns him, Di is very upset ... but also consoles him ... things will be all right, go and sleep.
She didn't ask him how he was after his fifteen day kidnapping ordeal ... this family is rather strange!!! Everybody seems to take it for granted that he's fine ... he's the strong one of the house, he can go through kidnapping and attempted murder and emerge unfazed!!!
Major glitch by the cv's!

Payash ... they actually have a track worth mentioning ... as the rifts widen in the relationship, which was superficial to start with. Akash is justified in his anger, why didn't Payal tell him, when they promised not to keep any secrets from each other ...
Would he have believed her? He even needed proof to believe her word against Bubbly's ... the brothers seem to have a MU ki beemari ;)
And Akash accuses Payal - if she had told him, maybe the situation could have been averted ...

Arnav sits alone on the stairs, lost in memories of happy times with Di ... happy and sad ... fights and make up, Raksha Bandhan, her accident ... and her words ... don't let the person you love most ever leave you ...
And on cue Khushi appears behind him ... and joins him ... silently ... searching his eyes and seeing his troubled state ... and she just sits quietly, holding his arm, offering her silent support ... she's there with him ... if he wants her ...
But does he want her? She's still not quite sure, still not completely secure about her place ... as he doesn't reciprocate her touch, she pulls slightly back to look at him, her face troubled, questioning ... did she overstep her boundaries? And he reads her doubt, her fear ... and reassures her with his eyes, holds her hand with his ... yes, he does want her with him ... if she's with him, things are better ... he's no longer alone ... even if Di is not with him for the moment ...  
And she leans back again onto his shoulder, as he holds her there, they sit together, still troubled, but somewhat at peace ... whatever happens ahead, they are together, complete ... two halves of a perfect whole ...

Next bit was a bit disjointed ... did Khushi suddenly leave him and go hunting to check on Anjali?

Anjali lies awake, remembering her brother throwing Shyam out ... Nani sees her, sees Khushi enter to check on Anjali, sees Anjali turn away and pretend to be asleep ... Khushi's worry and concern for Anjali ... Nani, the wise elder, watches and observes as Anjali turns and cries again ... and makes her decision ...

Nani - Arnav - Khushi ... beautiful scene. =D>  Nani wants explanations, justifications for Arnav's decision ... is Arnav sure about what he did? Could they all have been so mistaken in the man? Was he fooling them all along? So many arguments, so many accusations flew around the room that night ... what is true, what is false?
Loved Jayshreeji here ... calm, measured, breaking to pieces yet holding strong ... waiting to hear Arnav, reserving judgement till she hears the entire picture, the reason for his decision ... why did he believe Khushi over Shyam? As far as she knows, both are unimpeachable, both are beyond suspicion ... yet only one of them can have been right ... how did he decide which one?

And loved Barun here too ... Arnav's RTR starts here and now ... as Arnav slowly, steadily, in calm tones, which barely hide his own torment, discloses the big truth he has known all along, ever since the night of his and Khushi's wedding ... with frequent haunted looks to Khushi, as he silently apologises for misjudging her, clears her name once and for all in front of his grandmother, the matriarch and head of the house.
"Jab se meri aur Khushi ki shaadi hui, tab se ..' and he holds Khushi's eyes as he says this ... 'I'm sorry, sorry for misjudging you, misjudging the entire situation so badly ...'
For the first time the terrace flashback has only Shyam's voice ... Shyam proclaiming his love for Khushi, his non-belief in his own marriage, the non-importance of Rani Sahiba in his life ...and not Khushi's reply ... because the scene tonight, Khushi's demand for divorce cleared that MU once and for all, how he had misconstrued her words, her intentions ...

'That night, I misunderstood things ... and I made the biggest mistake of my life ... not trusting Khushi ...'
Another look at Khushi, another silent apology ... 'the biggest mistake I made was not trusting you ... never again ... I'm so sorry ...'
And he confesses for the first time about his talk with Shyam, and again the memory is Shyam proclaiming his love, his junoon for Khushi ... all Shyam's feelings, none of what Shyam claimed about Khushi's ... and how Rani Sahiba was the only one in the way ...

And the words shock Nani ...
And the final apology ... his last mistake ... he thought Khushi was with Shyam ...
And Nani shoots Khushi a shocked look ... does she start putting the pieces together about the sudden marriage, about Khushi's misery and pain in all of it?
Even as Arnav clarifies yet again ... 'but I was wrong, it was always Shyam, and only Shyam's fault ... not only then, even from before, he was just deceiving us ...'

It was not only Khushi who started the ball rolling, even before that, Shyam's intentions were never above board ... for Shyam had confessed to Arnav in that boastng talk that he married Anjali only for money, he never loved her ... long before Khushi even entered the picture.
And Nani crumples ... he beloved granddaughter's marriage was a farce all along, after all the other troubles Anjali has already seen in her life ... another reference to that mysterious 'past' ... as Khushi holds her and tries to comfort her ...
Nani has another worry, what if the baby is affected?

And finally Nani pronounces her judgement in tandem with Arnav's ... 'we need to take care of Anjali, give in to her mood swings and sulks till she comes out of this sadma' ... oh boy, Cryanji full blast is coming! ;-(

A last thought strikes Nani, she turns to Khushi with difficutly, because already this girl has borne so much for the family ... now she has another cross to bear ...'stay away from Anjali ... you will remind her of her pain every time she sees your face ...'
Yes, much easier for Cryanji to blame the other woman for her husband's kameenapan ...
Khushi agrees quietly ... 'yes, Nani, I understand ... I will stay away as long as you think it's necessary ...' as Nani tearfully blesses her ... she knew Khushi would understand, because she always understands everyone else's pain ... and puts it ahead of her own.
And Arnav's RTR kicks off in real earnest ... his self-loathing for putting Khushi in this position, more hurt for his Khushi, who always tried to bring happiness to everyone around ... she gets more than her fair share of sorrow and pain, and still tries to keep smiling ...

Next morning, Arnav tries to manao a silent Anjali with their poem ... Anjali is not willing to reach out ... I would feel more sympathy for Anjali if her anger was directed at Arnav keeping her in the dark, not explaining to her, rather than about throwing VLR out ...

Arshi :">"> :">
Khushi takes over the caretaker role in Arnav's life, as Anjali is too busy moping in her 'kop bhawan' ...
Loved the way Arnav's tone changed with the invisible Mr Roy, as soon as he noticed his wifey bringing in his medicines ... she's there for him :"> ... and now Bitwa is happily lapping up all the attention ... :">
And getting into the husband role, but with some difficulty, he's not used to it ;) ... earlier he used to tell Di whenever he was going, where he was going ... today he haltingly tells Khushi, getting used to this new equation between them ... 'I'm going to office, just for half an hour ... about the new will ...'
and he turns and sees her troubled face ...
Apparently they're the only people actually worried about each other after their ordeal, the rest are only concerned with Anjali ... 

'Tum theek ho?'
Yes, she's fine ... there was only one time she admitted she wasn't fine ... but she's more worried about him now ... going hungry because his Di is on a fast is not going to help either him or Di ... he needs to take his medicine, and she won't let him leave without it ... (umm, he needs his breakfast too, Bitiya ... care to feed him yourself? *MIG Alert* :) )

And Bitwa like a lamb quietly takes his medicine ... leaving Biwi a bit nonplussed ... and with nothing more to do than take the tray away ... they move in the same direction and bump into each other a couple of times, and Bitwa is quick to note that Biwi is getting a bit flustered by his nearness again ... back to the good old days :">
So he takes full advantage to fluster her some more ... Bitwa's trademark smirk is back ... and Biwi's shy million watt smile makes a comeback ... haayyyeeee :">

Precap ... more redemption of those RTR miles? Will the six month clause be laid to rest tomorrow?

    3. :D- maybe ODG wants a fainting DB! so that she can hold him (ala pre nanital fainting spell!) and as Dia says (only its the other way around...) "making moves on his very willing miyan for one"

      Delete
    4. Well, seems like Bitiya rani is too aware of their changed relationship, so that has also effected the medicine pattern also...And also, Bitwa did not remind her that he needs to have food..:-))

      Talking about flirty ASR...it may look too early for us to think...but why are we forgetting that the matter was left halfway in the hut ;-)

  2. Hayeeeeeeeee......NO THUD though:)

    The whole revelation to Nani was a bit of a damp squib. I mean I expected Nani to ask so you thought by eloping to get married to Khushi, you will solve the problem.

    How are things between the two of you or something.

    Well He did come out with the whole truth that was a bit of a surprise. I mean I knew he would but I thought Khushi would interrupt him or something.

    So looks like Khushi or even Arhi might just have to move out of RM?

    Anjali - Arnav scene.....Good.

    Barun was almost back to form today.

    Akash and Payash - AHA, Finally my shiddat of Akash dry roasting Payal came true. HE SAID it correctly, if she had come out with him even after marriage, things would have been very different.

    Akshay and Payal did very well there.

    Nani was very good when she broke down.

    Now for the Awwwwww part:

    So Bitwa contacts Roy to make corrections of the will - Oh whatever.

    I loved the way he awkwardly informs her he is going to office, she needs to know, she is his wife. Gone are the days of None of your damn business.

    Medicine - Dia can clarify this, he has not eaten anything, takes the medicine, isn't he supposed to eat anyway? WT......

    Loved the naughtiness back and the smile back. I loooooooooooooved Sanaya there, first confusion, then realization as to what he his doing and the shyness, hayeeeeeeeeee..

    Bitwa.............GET THAT DAMN HAIRCUT AND Slight stubble will ya.....BANDAGEMENT WALA ASR, warna Dandaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    Precap" After ages, we will get he goes towards her and she moves back............and bitwa's take on that.

    He didn't put the stars back on grrrrrrrr.......

    Where did they sleepd, who woke up first, duhhhhhhhh..

    2. shwets happy that Akash roasted payal for it .. and yes it was within his character .. of not rasing his voice nor going all dramatic .. Akshay was bang on today even payal's reason was reasonable for why she did not open on that day .. but after that why did she not .. yes if he had known it would have been a different today ..

      one thing is not sitting well with me is ASR turning flirtly so soon .. only thing I can think he did it was to bring the smile on her face ...

    3. Aaru,

      They have given Payal such lame dialogues....yaar after giving her a guilt load the size of a mountain....
      Sab teekh ho jayega ...

      Aaru, bechara ASR must be thinking My Di is going to take a while, let me atleast get the romance wagon of the platform....

      Shweths...the nani scene lacked the puch becos it only focused on Anji....well understandable in the circumstances tho....BTW, Mami catching up on her beauty sleep

      Did u guys catch BS'/ASR s exp when Khushi was talking to nani agreeing to stay away from Di..what do u make of it?

      Delete
    4. about biwi to inform karne wala part .... I was laughing hard ... Remembered K saying

      "Ab aya na truck pul ke niche"

      ROFL

      Delete
    5. Exactly payal's lines were lame , but then at least they got something to say .. but akash were bang on .. payal's will catch up..

      yep ASR needs action now ... hut is still haunting him ...

      and you what I liked of Arnav's FB's he had one of the rakhi where K was there and also Anji telling him that say the dil ki baat and keep the loved ones close because you never know when they will be not besides you and K comes down the steps .. sits along with him and asking his permission if its ok .. and he just reeling from the FB's accepts her into his space .. after all he did almost lose her ...
      So the bro using the gyan given by his sis and all set to keep his loved one close and tell her each day how much she means to him ....

      Rekhs missed BS/ASR expression there ..

      Delete
    6. Hey Aaru, Rekha....sorry for interrupting...ASR's expression to me looked like, he is helpless/angry that kkg will be hurt again, as now he knows how much she loves Anji, but will have to stay away for no fault of hers...

      Delete
    7. and forgot add .. on the staircase scene ..
      loved the part where they are show back shot of Arnav and Khushi sitting on stairs..

      Its dark everywhere but they are facing light and looking at light and in their own world of being there for each other ..

      Delete
    8. Aaru, u r rite...i guess Payal will talk like Payal of yore when Akash agrees to listen....its always tuf to explain complicated stuff when there is low reception...when u are not sure if the other is willing to lend his ear...

      Sama....was that how it felt?LOL ...i was looking at ASR and dreading Shweths danda (i was literally praying...please ASR aisa kuch mat karna jisse tumhe Shweths ke dande pade)

      I have been promising her that her ASR is all intact...Well, he was only informing his biwi....ab woh ASR ho ya koi aur....biwi ko toh batana padega when u go to office..Am i right, Shwethu?

      Delete
    9. Shweths, bhelcomes back to guttergiri ... been sorely missed in R&R!!! I was remembering you when the Payash scene came on ... aaj ko Shwetha bahut khush hogi :))

      And ufff, when are the cv's going to get it ... diabetics HAVE TO EAT FOOD!!! Isse toh Rocky and gang were better ... Food Food hi sahi, food toh tha! But loved Bitiya trying to get all bossy biwi style, and bitwa quietly obeying, leaving her a bit nonplussed - arey, yeh toh maan gaye!

      Geetu, yep, I agree, Arnav looked like he was upset for Khushi - another humiliation of sorts for her to go through ...

      Delete
    10. Shwetha - thank you for officially welcoming guttergiri!! :D

      Geetu - agree with you and Dia - felt ODB did not like nani's request more so than ODG herself - he really cant allow anymore insults on his wife

      Agree with you all that Nani's breakdown was good but lacked something - i mean if they built it up so well (first precap - then the first meeting for a few seconds) - the final
      'talk' felt like it was cut short - so much left unsaid!

      Aaru - actually i did not feel he got too flirty too soon - (now now, am not MIG here :D) - i mean they did show that the first time or two they genuinely banged into each other - he even apologized - THEN he saw the 'opportunity' and finally ODG realized what he as upto - was quite cute!

    Payash perfect dialogue and execution.... BG aap ke liye bohot kush huwe :D

    Scene of the day .... At stairs .... Awwwwww .... The way she looks up as he din't hold her hand .... He understands and then she is fine .... Haayyyeeee

    Nani yet din't get the forced part .... Obviously Guptas specially Payal has to be present when that happens.

    1. Dia,

      The title rocks :) ANd I like all of UJ's various interpretations too :)

      Rekha,
      That expression was one more shard being driven into his hear. She was being asked to stay away from Di - the person for whom she was concerned the most. She was being meted punishment for someone else's sins and his haste.

      And she quietly agreed because Di's health is paramount to her.

    2. Yes...Sandy.thats what i thot his downcast eyes meant...as if he sees the irony and more importantly him being helpless abt it...

  6. I am happy with today's episode. Without giving too much detail Arnav did admit of misunderstanding Khushi and committing the biggest mistake of his life. There was genuine remorse in his eyes when he said that, his eyes meeting Khushi's when he said that. The fact that he admitted this to the matriarch of the family was even better than just admitting his guilt only to Khushi.

    4. Dia,

      He never broke eye contact with her when he said that - totalt Sethi bros scene; even ASR can make a mistake and the truthful always look atthe eyes when they speak

      And now Khushi knows her culprit all along has been Shyam

  7. Precap was HAYEEEE!!!! but i thot that staircase scene was misplaced... khushi shud have gone to anjali's room in search of arnav and then not finding him there must have come down looking for him, finding him on the stairs.... the way the scene abruptly shifts to khushi going to check up on anji didnt sit well with me.... why would she want to leave arnav and go up??

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Krishna aiyoooo u said the very thing that came to my mind....the scene shift was abrupt...either as u say or it would have been better for khushi to come own after the anji-scene and nani to come down and find the lovebirds together....that would have been even more magical...

      Delete
    2. yeah nani finding them sitting together would have reinforced the bond these both share between them...

      Delete
    3. i meant reinforced in nani's mind about the bond... even if she had in some corner of her mind doubted khushi and her intentions, this scene would have wiped it off entirely... plus, when arnav came out completely clean about shyam's truth and even his MUing khushi, i think if nani had seen them together, it would have made his point that much more stronger... the other thing i dint like was anjali being given so much importance... Arnav got kidnapped and khusi's life was in danger and nobody is concerned??? i get it that anji is fragile but khushi and arnav arent exactly made of metal are they?? cant nani spare atleast a word or two of comfort and concern for these two people??

      Delete
    4. when they shot the scene from behind I thought it was Nani watching them.

      But that way Nani wouldn't have seen K's concern for Anjali and also that Anjali is intentionally avoiding K.

      Hence the advice .... Give it time. Its difficukt but has to be done.

      Delete
    5. Yep, I thought it was poor editing or something ... the stairs part didn't make sense ... Nani should have come down with Khushi earlier, had that heart to heart chat, and it should have ended with ArHi sitting together after Nani left ... time sequence was all confused!

      Krish, I felt the same thing ... I get that Anjali is all shattered yadda yadda ... Arnav isn't exactly back from a holiday jaunt, and neither was Khushi out for shopping ... NO ONE has asked them what they went through?!

      Statistically speaking, getting kidnapped and almost killed is much less common than going through a broken marriage and wandering husband ... and far more dangerous as well!

      Delete
    6. Dia - to your point - i agree - i still cant get it that Akash has not spoken to his brother!! - i mean you just find out your brother has been KN and you don't react? - good you are angry with wife - but all (except Anji) should in my opinion be so asking ODB on how he is holding up! - Di, her situation is different (for now)

      Delete
    7. no one in RM remembers that the BOY was kidnapped......

      Delete
    8. I guess that is because cvs wants us to forget ODB was kidnapped *roll eyes* given that it was not part of their original plan.

      So take the story movement &forget KN. No matter how caring Rocky was or many Lallan Ve that went by.

  9. Di-Stabilization .. Rofl fab title .. that two he gave two day back .. but yes it fits today well .. trying to stabilizing things-- for his di ..

    and thanks for spelling out our long awaited shiddat .. yes the Cv's are hell bent on give it in parts ...

    hope at least we a poolside star gazing khushi pointing out their parents ...

    after nani asking K to stay away from anji and with Abortion, I am sure K will walk out ... I really want K walking out ...

    but although I am going all hayee with flirty ASR .. some where I feel its too early.. will wait to see how it works out tomorrow, maybe as usual they might get KMH in between their moments ...

    Arnav RTR had already started yesterday , today few more mile covered with he telling truth of the marriage and his galaat fhami of thinking K being with shyam ..

    1. Aaru, now that KMH will be truly KMH...so i wonder kya hoga.....already some spoilers doing the rounds for some other scenes that i wish i had not read about....

    2. Aaru, think of it this way - last week was the kidnapping drama ka The End and the slaps ... they need more drama to retain TRP's this week ... so Anjali abortion for drama, and bring back the romance :)

      Besides, like we said, it's only these two who have come out unscathed from the storm, the rest of the house in in kop bhawan as it is ... these two poor guys haven't had the time or opportunity to rejoice in their togetherness and mutual love - they've been pitchforked back straight into the family mess. They're crazy about each other ... it's time to enjoy that feeling a little bit too.

    3. Absolutely agree with you Dia this is the only relation that has emerged stronger than before and unscathed. They have always had feelings for each other and only just beginning to realise the feelings are mutual... No matter what is happening around them when they are both alone they are bound to feel that tenderness and love for each other....

  10. Dia love the title. Many ways to take it di-stabilisation i.e stabilising di, distabilisation of a well knot loving family, di and stabilisation of Ahri.... Take ur pick :)

    Haven't seen the epi yet but glad to know flirty ASR back in his glory. It's about time we get some light hearted rimance alongside the drama queen di. If you felt you could sympathise less with Anji today i wonder how i would feel about her today considering i could not even sympathise with her yesterday. I'm left wondering if i'm being too harsh with the dame!

    2. UJ, picture this ... a woman goes through the trauma of seeing her husband being kicked out of her brother's house (what a parasite for staying there in the first place!) ... and all she can do is sulk and refuse to talk to the brother?!

      Wouldn't any normal thinking adult TALK??? Fight, shout and scream, ask questions, say 'how dare you, I don't believe you, I demand that you explain to me why you did this' ... this not talking is really like going into a fit of the sulks like a spoilt brat ... I didn't get my way, so I'm not gonna talk to you, so there!

I mean would it not be justified her going into shell after her hubby is proven to be wrong. Should she not be demanding answers and trying to clarify her hubby name of all this matter?
      may be i'm wrong but i think she can go into shell once she realises that her husband was a conniving cheating lousy creep....

    7. Agree to your point - but my thing is - Does she 'know her husband has been proven wrong?' - in her mind it was his word against KKG - no solid proof!

    9. dia, she is not "sulking and refusing to talk to her brother".. she just had irrefutable proof that her husband had an affair, signed divorce papers, and her brother knew about KP's infidelity!

      her day started at the mandir, where she got news from a trusted source that her husband was having an affair. though she refused o believe it, she did remember questionable circumstances. back at RM, she is trying to avoid reality.. she knows it is true.. then he homes home hurt.. weaves tales.. "she" comes home hurt.. raising questions in her heart.. and what followed was a veritable tornado.

      now i would venture to guess that she is trying to come to terms with the loving face he showed her and the face that everyone else -even her brother- assured her that he has.

      IMO, she is mad at arnav for not telling her sooner.. not for bursting her 'perfect' bubble. Anjali Mallik has much more spine than she shows.. and her brother seems to have forgotten the fact.

      but from how he took her breakfast and reminded her of the papad ka tukda song, i think he knows that anjali is strong.. in his own way, he is telling her to snap out of it.

      it is khushi who thinks that TQ's drama is all she is.. she has no idea about the Mallik backstory at all... ODB would think that TQ is a pampered princess, and treat her accordingly.

      remember, arnav did tell anjali the whole truth on payash wedding day.. he did not need to sugarcoat it.

    11. J,

      if she finds out that all the suffering people have borne is on account of her child maybe she will come to the wrong conclusion that to remove the source of all sadness the child needs to go. After all her other child, child like sisters all are suffering...

      SN Ok this sounds very pathetic to my ears too

      Delete
    12. Alternatively she realizes just how much they all have been played - realizes not accepts and feels if she could not protect her first child chote how will she be able to protect the other one on its way.

      Arnav too right now is assailed by the thoughts of how he could not live upto the promise of protecting his sister.

      Plus was there not a dialogue from Shyam during slugfest about how elders will always step in an cover up fro their younger ones or some such thing?

    13. sandy, the clincher of her decision to do away with the baby could be that shyam actually had the guts to kidnap and harm arnav.. if it was just infidelity, she could gloss over it and still live in her bubble...kwim?

    14. J,

      kwym :)

      He dared hurt her baby so as revenge she will hurt his. Hmm that I can believe. Anjali is capable of doing something like that. Plus if he has been silent and not called her to offer any explanaion, come back to see her then she could construe it as a proof of his guilt - for has she not known him over the years. He has always come running to her to explain things but this time if he has not bothered...

      Delete
    15. J,

      Plus does it not need both parents consent? aborting a child? Means this is Anjali's way of sending missive to Shyam to check if he comes post haste or not in his concern for the child that he has claimed all along.
      If he comes fine, else again an indication that he never meant it.

      She clenched her fist in the promo as if finding the strngth within her to evem utter those words.

    16. sandy, for one thing, i do not know if it takes both parents consent..i've always thought that mom can decide. two, anjali was excited about the baby, but KP was more.. he was the one who wanted it to be a girl, yada yada. now that she is truly devastated by his dual face, she does not want to bear his child.. maybe justified. her punishing him by harming his child in not as easy to digest.

    17. Jaya Sandy whatever be the reason an abortion is not justified. Grown up mature adults like khushi and arnav played god to anji and took decisions about her life - not justified. But anji can talk back throw tantrums now....
      How does anyone accept or justify anji playing god to her unborn child and ending his or her life without ever giving that baby a chance????
      How can she ever justify trying to end life of a child who could not stand up defend him/herself.... Even merci killing and suicide are illegal in most of the countries - taking away the right from grown up adults to decide when they themselves want to end their own life so anji want to end a life of a child when the child can't make a decision of itself.... I'm sorry but abortion is beyond comprehension for me.... I'm truly dreading that track.

    18. That was a promo, am guessing the scene will play out differently. What I'm wondering is why the decision to abort?

      Is it to force Arnav to allow Shyam to return? In that case, Anjali loses whatever little sympathy I have for her pronto.

      Is it to force Shyam's return so that she can herself discover the truth beyond reasonable doubt? Hmm, skeptical that Anji can be so strong, but if it is, then ok, give her one more chance to grow up.

      Is it because she discovers the will under the crib and/or other irrefutable evidence that Shyam was a KP after all? In which case, more understandable ... and I will give her the credit for trying to get rid of all evidence of VLR in her life ...
      But I doubt it will happen so fast - am sure there will be more Anji vs Khushi drama for some time.

      I am not sure what is topmost in Anjali's mind as of now, that's the reason I'm unable to empathise with her. Is she upset because KP has been thrown out? Angry with Arnav for throwing him out, and taking the decision for her? Or is she angry that these things were hidden from her all along? Or a confused mix of all?

      I am seriously not able to fathom her main motives right now. DB needs to emote much better - her expressions with Arnav in the poem scene were not very different from those in the temple fb ... she's supposed to be shattered now, for crying out loud ... didn't come across that way. I could not make out her feelings with regard to Arnav at all.

      Note, I warned you I would be mean to Anjali ;)

    19. UJ,

      I am discussing because it seems to be part of the story. Else killing a life - I have my bunch of opinions there.

      Dia,
      I am going to go with Anjali trying to pull SHyam back. What mind games can she play with her bro? He is already begging her to forgive him and embrace him back but no she is moping the loss of her husband. She told the picture did she not that she cannot live without Shyam.

      She has nothing with Shyam for now except the child he professed so much love and care for. He said he lied and did what he did (divorce) for the sake of he child. So I feel she is sending him a warning saying I am in control with this too like she has done in the past with the money an Shyam.

      She is going to test him.

      Topmost pf her mins is Shyam and yes she can be strong. She chooses the battles she wants to fight but never fights teh ones she needs to.

      She knows the family will rally and wait patiently for her to take her own sweet time so she is basically taking advantage of thier patience of which she is assured.

      Delete
    20. Dia I think I'm going to wait for to actually speak and say what her issue is before judging her because if she is in fact annoyed that everyone knew and no one told her and basically took her decisions without even telling her- then she's entitled....

      Delete
    21. UJ, we are not discussing the ethics of abortion here.. like sandy said, i have a load of opinion on that.. with regard to the trailer, (promo)where anjali said she does not want this baby.. what could be her motives for that statement?

      if she still believes KP, she would never even say that.
      now the question is, is she testing TF's devotion to the baby or is she believing that her life as she knew it has ended, hence there is no point in having this baby...

      whatever it is, i am pretty sure the abortion will not happen.. there will be a national message that abortion is illegal, immoral and whatnot, and they will gloss over the whole thing, like they almost comic-ified khushi's suicide drama. because these are controversial topics, i do not think SP will actually let an abortion happen.

      dia, anjali left RM without informing anyone.. we cannot say she wanted arnav to bring TF back.. if she wanted that, she would have said that dialogue to arnav first.. now that they are in a doc-patient confidential conversation, i actually believe she is serious.. not a trick to get something else.

      sandy, if she wants shyam back, all she has to do is take her phone and call him.. once anjali calls him, i dont think shyam will care for what arnav says... he will brainwash her into playing his tune, even if he is absent from RM...because he needs his money giver more than she needs him. if there was the slightest doubt in anjali's mind that sham truly loved her, i say she would leave Rm and go to jha residence... and hence, i think anjali is fully convinced of sham's mask now.

      Delete
    22. J,

      Why will Anjali call Shyam first? The move if any will have to be from him. Asking her grovelling to her that she does believe him does she not? And then she will choose or not to reply him and confer her grance. Even now she is angry with Arnav but has she asked him once why he did what he did? No she is sitting quiet letting herself wallow because she knows Arnav loves her too dearly to let go and somehwere she needs that physical demonstration of assurance and care.

      Her stance on the baby will be 2 fold IMO - to Shyam it will be if the baby is important why are u not bothered to come back to me and UR baby? and to Arnav it is going to be if you cannot have him in the house then I am sure you will not want HIS baby / blood in YOUR house. She is going to make this HIS house vs HERS.

      Shyam the chaalu may engineer an accident / slip for her and pretend to save her thereby getting instant maafi from Anji.

      Plus think of it another way, who will help her raise the child. When she and chote were growing up, hote grew up on his own and there were mama, mami and the rest. Now her brothers are married have their own families so who will be around for her could be one of the thoughts too.

      Delete
    23. I do agree with Sandy on Anjali's thought process - she wants the others to do all the running because that's the way she has always been treated - like a fragile china doll. The moment she gets upset the whole house comes running to placate her, because they know she has been through so much, and that she is weak and can't take any conflict. And Anjali uses that to her advantage - we've discussed this before on R&R too. In simple terms, it's called emotional blackmail, and it's her modus operandi.

      So she won't call Shyam - HE has to call her and prove his innocence - which he will at some point, once he feels the heat has died down. That would apply even if he was innocent.

      And she will play silent with Arnav, so that Arnav runs after her to apologise for doing something which was the best thing for her ... it's a way of getting attention, and that's again because of her complexes.

      Forgetting the tragedy which she and Arnav share, she has two major problems in life which her money or her status can do nothing about - her handicap, and the fact that her first marriage broke on her wedding day, and MIGHT have been cause and effect of her mother's death. According to me, both these have given her a huge complex about being unloved, and her general behaviour is always to assure herself that she is the center of her little world ... and everyone around her panders to that, she makes sure of it.

      Be it her husband calling her Rani Sahiba,
      Her brother always telling her not to leave him - whenever she's angry with him, she doesn't fight, she goes quiet or disappears, playing on his fears so that HE will call her back.
      Nani of course sees her dead daughter in Anjali, no question of seeing any wrong in the person who is gone before her time, Anjali is the only memory of that daughter. Anrav is more like his father, besides easier to relate the daughter to the mother.

      Mami is the only one who somewhat treats Arnav and Anjali at par and less kid gloves.

      Khushi has followed Arnav's example, and thinks Anjali should be spared the ugliness of life, because she can't stand it.

      It will take a lot for Anjali to come out of this and start facing the real world - unfortunately her KP just reinforced her complex by showing that he was with her, not for herself, but for her brother's money, and he really wanted another woman. Despite Anjali trying to be the perfect understanding loving caring Smothering wife always.

  12. After Marvelous Monday, Tuesday was a bit tired somehow - still a good episode but not a perfect one

    +VE - ODB saying - in words - he made the biggest mistake of his life (for a moment i though - oh oh - wifeee will not like that - faux pas!) - but he continued 'by not believing in ODG and going to TF instead' and also said 'by thinking ODG was in on it!' - so well done ASR - you said it all - and said it well without letting out the secret of your marriage the the 6month clause!!

    I know everyone is upset with Anji right now - but i have a few points in her defense -
    1)this is just too new for her - ODG&B have had months to digest the news, act upon it, react to it - for her its been a few hours -
    2) her brother has taken a decision for her (no matter if its the right one) without consulting her - without giving her adequate proof (so what if he trusts his wife - she trusts her husband - and that too a man who has been with her for years!) - if ODB had let her make the decision herself - the story would have been different
    3) She has not seen anything with her own eyes - it will take time to piece the story together for her - right now its all hearsay. As it is, its tough to accept the guy you loved (love) to death is a cheat, even if you catch him red handed, and now its just allegations
    4) Yes she has not been thinking of the ordeal her brother went through - one - he is home safe - 2- she does not beleive yet that her husband was behind all this - 3- how can she think of her brother - when her husband is teh one who has been punished (in her mind!) - If we were to turn tables - would we not want ODG to stand by ODB in case there was a fight between Payal and ASR?

    the only point where i will loose patients with her is if she plans to abort her child:
    1) to blackmail Arhi OR
    2) to say - ok Arnav - you did this for the safety of my baby - now there is no baby so i get to decide for myself and i want TF!

    2. Monu....

      Di walking out will mean less drama....so it will have to be ODG.....

      In the present circumstances, i cannot see Anji doing this for any other reason other than getting her way (getting ODG out) Becos one moment she says...i can't live without u....what could precipitate her wanting to abort...has she accepted that Shyam is no longer part of her life?

      I am imagining this is going to be a precipitating factor....for ODG to walk out of RM....a flashpoint of sorts where even ASR is rendered helpless.....ASR already knows that Khushi has to be out of Anji's path....for some time...he has unhappily agreed to it as well....he doesn't see it as out of RM.

      So they will create a situation where Khushi will tell him, its best i move out of RM and ASR..can't do anything about it except mop and cry...

    3. Yup - that is what i fear too - and when that happens - i will stop defending TQ!

    4. Monu, if Di had the guts to say that she's walking out, should not she have said so when TF was being thrown out?

      But I totally agree - it's difficult for her to believe that her husband is such a turd, when all she can remember are his ultra-loving moments, and his care for her. And she is in too much shock to have started putting together all the holes in his story yet ... the times she caught him in Arhi's room, for one, the bill for the ring, his late appearance at Teej, his disappearance at his own anniversary party ... she's had a night to mull over things now ...
      Or maybe she doesn't WANT to remember all those ...

      Am still reserving judgement on Anjali ;)

      Delete
  13. Mona: she is free to go back to TF if she so desires - after all, they did have a separate residence at the beginning of the show and that is also where TF went looking for her when she decided to hide in the mandir because ASR deigned to remind her that this was his house.

    So, by all means she can decide for herself that she wants TF and she can go back to living with him - and does she plan on continuing to finance her hubby's lifestyle with her bro's hard earned cash?

  14. Girls,

    I see a lot of posts above asking about communication within the family. I would say it depends from personal experience. There is family who keep to themselves for a lobng while, internalize it all and only then at times deign to talk about it. And then thee is family where even the smallest of things gets transmitted. Both have thie rpros and cons. But when trauma hits, then invariably for a while evryone retretas into themselves. Natural instinct. Poke a snail and the first thing it does is withdraw within its shell. Arnav and Khushi are 2 pople who have lived this problem fro so long that to have it all out is liberating for them. For the others it shall take a while. Like Nani said, it is no mean feat to get over that one person who was so well esteemed and loved by all managed to fool all of them for so long and so well.

    As for Anjali, she is hurt but her anger is mostly for her brother throwing out her husband without consulting her at all. After all he was her husband and it is her life. Arnav had Di'd best interests no doubt but he has again taken a decision for her and ANjali is very much like her brother. She likes to control her own life.

    If you think she is gigving Arnav a hard time now, wait for Shyam to try and slink back (around of end of next week I guess) and see how tough she makes it for him. Earlier at least the money came easy to him from her now even that shall be monitored. And a person like SHyam can never bow down for too long.

      The precap was a carryover from today's ARHI scene. In the precap scene Arnav tells Khushi for how long will u keep going back when i approach u.....and it is high time, u start walking with me"......(almost a throw back to their early flirty conversations in happier times but seems like a promise for the future)

      Arnav has sensed a tense Khushi who has become withdrawn even tho she says she is fine.....and ASR is probably making attempts to draw her out in the only way ASR knows..

      Delete
  18. An okay ish episode. Hopefully we wil get mami and NK tomorrow. Anjali and khushi dressed in the promo outfits toay so this one IPK day will extend presumably for the rest of the week.
    Still sticking to my stance could not muster any sympathy for Anji.
    Nani's reaction was phika considering she is such a strong matriach and principled individual.
    Could see the sadness in Arnav's eyes when khushi was meted out yet another punishment of not going near Di which she accepted without a word. Arnav has slowly started realising what he has done to an innocent girl.
    Loved the fact that Khushi silently stood by Arnav. The staircase scene was very powerful. It's a beautiful understanding between a husband and a wife. She understands he is upset but also understands his need to not vocalise it at the same time offers her support and care. Her eyes said it all. Equally he realises how shaken she is, understands she needs him and his support and let's her in his most private space. He ets her in his pain, in his space, in his heart and in his thoughts. She does not need his words any more she understands his silence....
    I think it will be Arhi leaving RM rather than only khushi. Can't see how Arnav would let her walk out and let her be punished yet again. In times to come Khushi will become the single most important relation in his life......... The dharma or rle of wife is defined by 7 principles in indian society......

    Karyeshu mantri (an advisor in work)
    Dharmeshu patni (a companion in noble deeds)
    Kshamaya dhaitri (like earth in tolerance and forgiveness)
    Bhojeshu mata (like a mother when feeding)
    Range sakhi (like a friend in enjoyment)

    Khushi will prove to be an advisor, companion, friend, confidant, mother like when needed and ofcourse forgive ASR without a word for all that has transpired.

    Cute precap. Good to see some light and tender moments between Arhi. khushi deserves the TLC of her beloved hubby and surely ASR will offer that in abandance going forward. :)

    A song dedication for the precap......

    1. UJ, beautifully said!!!

      Loved the part about the wife nibhaoing the seven different roles ... including that of mother. I've mentioned earlier, I don't find Anjali a good mother figure although that's what Arnav always tries to see her as. Anjali doesn't have the strength, she is Arnav's weakness, and in times when he himself is weak, mostly she adds to it, she doesn't buck him up.

      The most glaring example is the first Ma ka Kangan scene with Arnav-Anjali, where they both cry over the kangan ... he is upset both seeing the kangan and seeing Di cry over them ... rather than control her own tears for her younger brother and give him comfort, Anjali is the younger sibling there, crying even more ... so that he leaves her and runs to hide his own pain ...
      and it's Khushi who is the one to give him that reassurance he's looking for ... give the strength of her faith ... and yet give him his space ...
      The same way she did on the stairs - just sat silently with him, after checking she's not intruding on his space, telling him silently that she's there with him whenever he needs her ... soon she will not need to check that ever ... because he will himself look for her when he needs to be alone ... he needs to be alone with her ... companion, best friend, mother ...

    2. D,

      You recall long back we had discussed at R&R about how Khushi's love is all encompassign but not suffocating like Anjali's. She told him yday that he needed to take care of himself because the family and esp Di needed him. Reasonable - no hysterics or blackmailing. practical from his view.

      Delete
    3. Dia agree it's khushi who has been his strength even before he realised his feelings. Di has always been his weakness. I guess this track will bring Arhi even closer emotionally although it might separate them physically again. Khushi might end up leaving RM.
      Dia wonderful edit, love the description of the staircase scene. I agree that the scene was a misfit in the sequence of scenes in episode but try to watch that scene in isolation.... It's beautiful just silently there for each other, beginning to let each other in their private space, acknowledging the strength and comfort drawn from each other and care visible in their eyes...
      Khushi is still not sure of her place in his life but she is learning and learning fast. I hope she realises her place in his life before she is forced to leave RM, thx to di. If khushi realises her place in his life the separation will be even more intensified.... ***sadistic look***

    4. Yep, Sandy, that's exactly what I meant. Practical, sensible, no emotional blackmail, just simple facts ... 'going hungry yourself is not going to help anyone' ... and Bitwa swallowed his medicine like a lamb, because he accepted her logic :)))

      UJ, I loved the staircase scene too ... no words spoken, but everything was there in their eyes ...

      'I'm there for you ... if you need me,'

      'Yes, I need you, I want you here with me' ...

      Again I remember the first stars scene ... there too, she was hesitant to intrude, he started the conversation because he needed her strength, her faith ... this was when they were not even talking to each other ... she gave him what she could, and then quietly left because she knew instinctively that he wanted to be alone ... he let her leave, because he had received the comfort he was looking for ...

      Now she too needs to be with him, she knows he's hurting, she wants to give him comfort, she makes the first move ... but she's unsure, does he want her there or not? Because she knows he likes to hide his hurt from the world ...
      And this time, he wants her there with him ... because she completes him ... she is part of him ... he wants to be alone, away from everyone else, yes ... but everyone doesn't include her, she's not everyone, she's a part of him, and he can show her his pain, because she will help him through it, she will be strong for him - just as he stays strong for her, he knows she needs his reassurance, and he gives it to her unhesitatingly.

      Watched that scene again ... when she withdraws, it's because she's not sure whether he wants her there, and he looks at her as though wondering why she withdrew ... and then sees the hesitation in her eyes, understands what she needs, and gives it to her - the touch of his hand, the message that 'yes, I want you here.'

      I am getting all mushy here :)))

  20. Is it tooo late in the week to add a shiddat - i so want the old RV back - the old charm! - was watching the old episode - 11th &12th July 2011 - Another example of who dependent TQ was on TF! and OSB was ssoo cute :D
    (ps - also the first time ODB hears the name "shyam' associated with her - jealousy raising its head?)

    ReplyDelete
  21. When explaining to Nani, it seemed like Arnav alluded to other misdeeds of Shyam. Something about how he has done more than just the Khushi incident. Did anyone catch that? Does this mean another story from the past?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. oh I saw that too and thought that finally we might get some 'proof' of ODB's 'shatir demagh' - hopefully ODB did do some digging into TF's background - (like we always wanted) - some more instances of TF's villainy and ODB's thinking capacity!!'
      Did not say anything yesterday coz did not want to jinx it - the CV have a way with getting us all excited about something and then totally ignoring it - remember the 'ma kay gangan and her letter!'

      Delete
    2. Mona and Anon,

      I think it will end up as being references to SHyam's following Khushi uunder all their noses at RM - Holi, HR medicine, roses, on SR night, after the wedding near the stairs.

      Plus intentions being wrong -can also refer to the money cos Arnav knows he tampered with the money to Shyam and that seemed to have precipitated matters

      Delete
    3. Mona and Anon ..

      It was more of his realisation of shyam doing it under their noses ...

  22. did someone else notice anjali's sleeve length today? usually at the beginning, her blouses had 3/4th sleeve.. later it became elbow length.. i think yesterday was the one of the very few times in the show that she is wearing a short sleeved blouse.. and her whole persona changes with that little detail!

    1. yes..I did!! :P :) and also, if u notice..her saree was very mellowed down..kind of pastel shades.. rather than her usual bright ones..plus, she wasnt wearing single palloo like she always does..she was wearing the normal palloo.. :)

      So it should have some indication .. and I dare to hope that she has known about shyam all long and kept quite to protect her chote ... ???

      I would love to see in the future -

      She would not have known known but felt something amisss about their relationship for a long time and to protect chootte keeps quie - will being in that sentence of Khushis of how knowingly she acted blind and ignroed the signs and also Shyam's dialogue of how the elders always ptotect their younger siblings.

    Song if any in the offing my vibes tell me could be this. Naaughty romantic number with some of the keywords we associate with ArHi (stars, jugnu,..)

    Tamil Movie: Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (Will you cross the skies and come?)
    Song: Omana Penne (Dear Girl in Malayalam)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3sCD4N5z78

    Hindi Movie: Ek Deewaana Tha
    Song: Phoolon Jaisi Ladki
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHMABRwdto0&feature=related

    The original Tamil movie was made by Gautham Menon (all u Surya fans the Same guy who made Kaakha Kaakha)

    hai yeh kya
    Aankhien yeh aankhien
    Sagar se gehri yeh aankhien
    Jhookti
    Uthati
    Sharmeeli se aankhien
    Yeh aankhien sapno ki rajdhani
    Saare... jugnoo... taare
    Inse hi jagmagana seekhe
    Oh ho ho...
    Phoolon jaisi hai yeh ladhi
    Hai yeh ladki pariyon jaisi hai na
    Woh ho ho...
    Bholi bholi khoyi khoyi
    Hirani si hai yeh ladki
    Komal komal yeh ladki
    Sundar ladki
    Nazuk nazuk yeh ladki
    Tera aanchal joh leheraye
    Toh...
    Mera dil... sang sang leheraye
    Dhadka hi jaye
    Tere tann se jo aajaye
    Mere tann mann mein bus jaye
    Ooo...
    Tere zulf se mehki hui jo chahon hai
    Woh hai meri manzil
    Tere saare gum meri saari khushiyan
    Ab dono ki hai, hai kehta dil
    Dilon jaisi hai yeh ladhi
    Hai yeh ladki pariyon jaisi hai na
    Woh ho ho...
    Bholi bholi khoyi khoyi
    Hirani si hai yeh ladki
    Komal komal yeh ladki
    Sundar ladki
    Nazuk nazuk yeh ladki
    Chand pe tu, main dharti pe
    Thodi toh paas aaja
    Dhadkan mein tu samahja
    Main tere... geet gaon
    Yeh armaan yeh tamanna
    Hai aur dil mein tu hai tu hai tu hai

  26. Hey,

    I am listening to this number "Abhi abhi toh miley ho, abhi na karo chhootney ki baat" from the upcoming movie "Jism2". Beautiful lyrics and absolutely apt for IPK's future tracks, if K decides to leave A to make di happy.

    I have not seen it on YT as I did not wish to see Sunny Leone and Randeep Hooda on this soulful number. For the very same reason, I am not posting the YT link...just imagine our dear Arhi on this. :)

    Do listen to it...specifically the male version sung by KK and let me know your views.

    :ANANYA

    ReplyDelete
  27. Hi,

    IPK is again in a zone wherein I would rather just watch some of the scenes again and again than write about it all.

    A couple who have finally realized that they are hudband and wife. Their first night together as man and wife in the sense of the word - sharing, caring, being there. A snapshot of how all couple would like to age together, leaning on one another and gazing out towards dawn and hope.

    When they got married, that night held nothing but turbulence and storms for them howveer under the rain cloud they are under now, this couple seems to be an oasis of peace and calm. Each clamouring the other's presence, touch and constant reassurance. The nigth thy were married, a screen had fallen across the husband's eyes which lifted earlier in the day when his wife nearly fell to her death. He recalled every moment from teh time life brought her in his path till he made her his ardhaangini and realized that all that he thought he had written for himself was written by the divine order. Their being man and wife had been preordained but when he saw the truth before his eyes, she was nowhere to be seen.

    A heartfelt cry to her, holding her left hand over his heart, the nerve that connects to her heart becomes her lifeline. And she returns to his loving embrace and to be accepted as his wife, companion, soulmate, life partner..jeevan sangini..

    When she holds onto him without hesitation, the man smiles for he loves her expressing her Haq on him. For is not she his anchor and thought she holds onto him, is she not anchoring him in the seas of life?

    He has finally let go of the cross he bore (HR green room scene when she slips and he holds her and the bar on his back drops) and this couple are now enveloped in a golden hue of happiness. It is then that the matriarch of the house walked to them wanting an audience. Then it was about misplaced costumes, today is it about misplaced loyalties. Today the husband confesses to having made the biggest blunder of his life, of having hurt the one person he never wanted to. The truth is now embedded clearly in his mind and there is no doubt whatsoever about the true villain who has victimized the 2 most important women in his life. Th wife now knows how she had unknowingly hurt her husband making him take that rash decision for which she had berated her devi ma. She will soon realize that though Ma seemed to have shunned her, Ma had only handedher over to someone who would eventually treaure her and care for her like she deserved.

    The kaal raatri seems to have passed this couple for now and they face a new day together. Concern for each other thier prime focus. But the husband finds something amiss much like the day the wife thought of committing suicide. Like his nani mentioned the night before the wife's body seemed to be present, however her soul, her spirit seemd to be missing. And then begins a dance of fate where they seemm to keep bumping into each other and the husband notes his wife getting flustered. The lover in him recognizes an opportunity and starts blocking her path to be rewarded with a shy blush and the smile of a new bride. A souple who never had a propoer wedding today shared their first true intimate moment / nok jhok.

    Like Khushi once said, their relationshipbegan with hate. As the hate grew, the knot got tighter and more complex until one fine day hate has decided it is too embarassed to grow any further. Now all that remains is a strng bond but one that has been forged in hate. Time has come to erase the hate and nurture this bond with love..

    It is the story of a love story!

      so beautifully written. Read it a few times now. true it is a story of a love story, of a couple brought together by fate but bound by their love, care and trust.
      Khushi needed ASR's words and she has got it - ILU, ASR needed actions and he has got plenty to cherish..... they don't need any confessions any longer. They know they love each other is the truest sense and they know they are made for each other, they complete each other, they compliment each other.
      Tum ko dekha toe yeh khayal aaya

      Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hai
      ki jaise tujhko banaya gaya hai mere liye
      Tu ab se pehle sitaro mein bas rahi thi kahi
      tujhe zameen pe bulaaya gaya hai mere liye

      The new bride.........

      kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hai
      ki yeh badan yeh nigahein meri amanat hai
      ye guessuo ki ghani chaav hai meri khatir
      yeh hoth aur yeh bahain meri amanat hai

      Wedding.....
      Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hai
      ki jaise bajti hai shahenaiyya si raho mein
      suhaag raat hai ghunghat utha raha hu mai
      simat rahi hai tu sharma ke meri baho mein........

      song 2
      Mere Dil Mein Aaj Kya Hai Tu Kahe To Maein Bataa Doon
      Teri Zulf Phir Sawaaroon Teri Maang Phir Sajaa Doon

      Mere Baazuon Mein Aakar Tera Dard Chain Paaye
      Tere Gesuon Mein Chhipkar, Maein Jahaan Ke Gham Bhula Doon

  30. Hello girls!

    By the time I manage to see the episode you've already said everything I want to!! Damn!!... Read all the comments and we all seem to be in agreement about Cryanji:-)...

    I actually liked the Nani bit the most- loved Jayshree T.

    Arhi ...yes ofcourse!...I actually saw the pre cap before the episode because you guys were raving so much... wonder how Khuhsi responds to that ...**MIG**

    I do have a question though...you guys all seem to feel that Arnav has already embarked on his RTR...but I'm not sure...he's not feeling at all bad about the last 6 months? he basically forced her to marry him - shouldn't he be a little unsure about how she feels?...

    Shouldn't he have flashbacks...first night her sitting there all decked up and he threw her out of the room? when he slammed the door on her hand? When he screamed at her for being nice to Di? the countless times he manhandled her? the time after Heer Ranjha on the stairs? By the bridge when she told him the truth and he didn't believe her? When she spoke of how she wished her wedding had been after her friends coaxed her? Garima's slap? - or they should have at least shown all this when he was locked up he can't just come back and become worlds best husband....where's the remorse? shouldn't he beg her to forgive him and let her be all no no its all water under the bridge now?

    RTR feels too mellow...and I can't quite enjoy the RV without a proper RTR...

    1. Gargs,

      RTR will have lots of RVs - why do you think they play the Kyun khwaabon pe tere saaye hain RV

      Did you see Arnav swallow his pain and tears before turning to Khushi?
      DId you see Arnav reaching out to her after taking the tea and asking hr with his eyes if she was ok?
      Did you see that when she hugged him he hugged her back without hesitatiion giving her some much needed solace?
      Did you see how he picked her up and carried her back to place her gently on the bed?
      Did you see when he let himself be pulled by her and held her hand, stayed by her side and watched her fall aslee?
      Did you see the flash of pain cross his eyes when he saw how peacefully she slept while he got up to go fight his demons elsewhere?
      Did you see the haunted look in his eyes on the stairs when he realizes that life has him at a crossroad where he stands the risk of losing the 2 most important people in his life?
      Did you see him look only at her when he confessed about his bigges blunder and how he assumed she was teamed with Shyam?
      Did you see the quick look of concern at Nani when she called to Khushi after hearing him out?
      Did you see how he sat across from Khushi as if he was her gunaahgaar and when Khushi acepted yet another undeserving punishment hung his head in shame?

      His RTR is just starting. He has come home after 15 days to realize just how kameenahis jija was, his Di is shattered and Khushi has gone through trauma all beccause of his decisions. He has never been one for emotions so he is off to a slow start. He hurts within for all he has done to her because he cannot bear to see her in tears or see the demons that haunt her eyes (did u see the glances they exchanged on the stairs). He is trying to ease her up and help her get past her trauma and for that he needs to be strong. He cannot openly show her how broken he is inside. He knws he married her in the most demenaing way possible and meeting her eyes is an effort in itself.

      The vehicle called RTR has just stated. It will gain speed over time.

      Bittersweet love like I told Rekha!

      The lines from the song of the movie Aasha come to mind..
      "kuch milna aasaan nahin
      duniya ki majboori hai
      phir takdeer zaroori hai
      yeh jo dushman hain aise
      dono raazee hon kaise
      ek ko manaao toh dooa rooth jaata hai"

    3. Sandy, again loved that post!!! You said it all!!! Oh yes, his RTR has started in earnest now ... the confession to Nani was just the first step ... he will burn in agony at every flinch of hers, at every slight, real or imagined, even if she so much as winces, he will suffer her pain ten times more ...

      and he will work doubly hard to bring that smile back to her face ... now that part will be worth watching!!! I do hope she takes her time to recover ;)

  31. ....I've figured out the problem....They never talk! I don;t think they've ever had a conversation except when they were at the coffee shop deciding how to set up Payash (ah the good old eppy's)...

    Sarun emote so bloody well that the CV's don't wanna ruin their scenes with dialogue...

    But please CV's they need to have a conversation I implore you!

  32. Just one more thought -

    ASR/KKG & Anji have all had traumatic childhood experiences - ASR turned into the cynic who only believed in 'writing his own fate' , Anji turned into a person dependent on her family and belief in everything Godly. ODG of course still believes in love, relationships, fighting hard but with a smile

    OK - but were their situations even remotely similar except that they are all orphans?

    ODG lost her parents when she was very young (before she even knew what it was to die!) - and was immediately adopted by a loving family who truly cared for her - no sautala dukhyari treatment here AND if there was any ugly secret there - she is not aware of it yet (children have an amazing ability to cope and adjust faster)

    ODB was a young teenager - old enough to understand what was happening - old enough to realize the enormity of the situation - was thrown out of his house as well - so a lot of resentment and hatred in him

    ANji - not only did she loose her parents - she lost a home and from flashbacks its obvious she also had a broken marriage around the same time - SO she was old enough to know her parents, value them, start her own home and she lost it all in one go

    So where ODG was at now (last epi),(in terms of 'almost loosing her husband') - Anji was there when she was a young girl -
    ODG was badly shaken, almost shattered - she needs her husband and his reassurance too -
    so why not Anji who has lost everything all over again? in fact this time she has also lost her brother (in her mind!)

    Seems like I am the minority here - justifying Anji - but like i said will continue to do so till she does one of the things stated above - then i can dump her :D

    1. No I agree with you Mona...

      Anjali is entitled to being her TQ self but like Dia my issue is that her problem should be that
      a. Everyone but her knew and no one thought to tell her and let her decide.
      b. her brother took the decision for her.
      c. no one gave her any proof except Khuhsi's word- so why is the word of her husband any less.

      - not that her brother threw her KP out...and in all fairness to her she hasn't said why she's angry at Arnav it could very well be these reasons and not just her irrational 'why did Arnav throw KP out.'

      Delete
    2. Mona,

      Seen from a clinical perspective, she has every right to demand answers of Arnav..As Dia put it, why was it hidden from her by anyone in the know...esp Arnav as she can expect that from him surely
      Also she has every right to consider Arnav's action high-handed becos nothing was conclusively proved before her.

      Major reason for Anji having fewer supporters in IMO....we are privy to Shyam's misdeeds whereas we have only seen Anji's blind faith in that loathsome man.....there has not been much focus on what turned Anji into that woman...Yes, we talked abt it...much of it conjecture....but its also a natural tendency to cheer heroes and jeer at villainy.
      Thus any signs where we see Anji not making an attempt to understand Arnav/Khushi will draw ire but the simple fact is that this journey of realisation of what Anji really wants and stands for has to be her own, irrespective of all the help she gets from her family...My sense is that they will show this journey of Anji as subtly as they have shown A_K's love journey

      Delete
    3. Gargi - those are my point too - yes she should be angry about those things - but you are talking to someone who has rationalized (at least to some extent - not someone who is just too shocked for now)

      Exactly Rekha - we know TF was a creep - she does not - look at all her FB's - where could she see the 'creepiness of the creep'? - and look at her FBs of the 'eventful evening - all are still doubts in her mind - she has yet to see something with her eyes!

      Also i totally agree - (of course the story would not be IPK then) but ODB should have let her take her own decision - makes a whale of a difference

      Delete
    4. Mona,

      Anjali too has had the benefit of a loving family. Her own brother and Mami, Nani, Mama and Akash.

      It is not that she is being hated already, but given her need to control her life (just like her brother's) hances are she will be angry that Arnav threw SHyam out on his wife's say so. (for now)

      Plus I think she must have been the apple of her father's eye when he passed away or left them. Then she became the apple of Shyam's eye but now he has been wrenched from her. Plus if you see how she normally behaves with her brother too, it is always in a hatt karna mode. The family indulges her though the poem Arnav speaks of says how sayaani she is.

      Yes she has been through a lot but see how 2 women have gone through recent trauma, one who is younger than the other is asked to step up and sacrifice while the other who is elder is shielded as she is considered fragile.

      It all stems back to upbringing - in the sense - when you bring up a child having cloistered him or her too much, you will be guilty of having killed that child's will to face life.

      Agreed Anji also has a limp which adds to her complexity. But the family should have been able to teach her how to rise after every fall rather than catch her every fall. Becasue there was always the risk that there would be a fall which they could not catch!

      Let us see how she proceeds and what route she chooses to further her relationships with one and all.

    5. Sandy,

      When the nani scene played out..."shoot the messenger" was played out....another case of lets cushion the weak further....

      even if nani had the full knowledge of Khushi's travails, she would still implore her to support Anji becos she thinks Anji cannot take any further pain.

      Actually rarely do people knows what is the right time to start reversing a wrong done? unfortunately, when calamity strikes, people don't have the courage to start doing things differently.Imagine even if arnav started to deal with Anji differently, it would seem to many that he has changed unless they understand that its come out of a realisation that they have let Anji live in la-la land for too long

      Nani is queit now but as she sees the future evnts unfold I get a feeling that her patience with her grand daughter is going to start waning.

      Especially if she pulls the abortion card.

    7. Sandy,

      I am sure nani will, i was just commenting on the general problem that people face about when they do they stop the cushioning...its obviously diffi to do it when the weak person is already hurting....A stronger person can take that additional emotional load

  34. @Dia, Sandy, Shweths..

    Hey the promo reminded me of a conv when we came to know Anji was preggers...

    Remember I had asked you guys about abortion and her right to keep the baby of a her KP being her decision not Arnav's....

    Is it possible that's Anji's issue...its unlike;y its something so realistic and logical but maybe just maybe that;s her issue?

    - OBGyn was a female so that potential match is out of the window...maybe her shrink will be her new love interest,?...I think ODG should get to work on finding TQ a person pronto it'll fix everything:-)

    1. Gargi, as per the original storyline of IPK, its a journey of two siblings who will find true love/soulmates. There was also a phrase which said they would be from families less prosperous than theirs....of course....Shyam was also not from a rich family but i am imagining they meant someone after Shyam...so u may be just right....

  35. Random Thought:

    Anjali is going to accuse Khushi for being after the money.

    Mami was the only one whom Anjali did not recall in her FBs the person who broke the news to her first because her words were confirmed by both Khushi and Shyam. Khushi had asked for a divorce and Shyam had agreed. Anjali trusts Mami.

    Shyam's comment about girls from small houses wanting riches struck a chord with Mami and this track was already in her mind. Plus it was Shyam who brought up the wanting to destroy Arnav dialogue and Khushi accepted.

    Somewhere she knows Shyam was with her for the money. She never liked him joking with her about wanting all her wealth and also made sure he justified to her whenever he wanted more money.

    Mami is going to keep saying stuff to the money effect which may just seem right to Anjali. Khushi came back to work at RM when thratened for the money. Khushi demanding her pay when her father was sick. Khushi also lied to get 2 lakh rupees from Anjali and Shyam will tell her it was to get Arnav's nakli signature. The last is true but a half truth. Plus Shyam may bring up the fact about how Arnav was responsible for breaking up Payal's wedding in Lucknow and Khushi was thirsting for his blood since then.

    So Anjali is going to convince herself that Khushi basically got Shyam ousted because she wanted the wealth and not let Shyam have it and that is why she decided to pull the plug when she did. Then her argument is going to be all about how she cannot live in Khushi's house and so forth.

    Khushi is going to sign papers (chances are given to Anjali by Shyam or she got it made herself) relinquishing any claim she may have on the money and property.
    Chances are Arnav's latest will alterations are going to end up bequeathing all his wealth to Khushi if anything were to happen to him further fuelling Anjali's ire.

    Anjali is going to exact a promise from Khushi first and then get her to leave the house because as long as she is there, Shyam will never be given a chance to come back with her. But Mami I think will be party to Anjali's plan.

    Khushi will be forced to hide this from Arnav or it is orchestrated when Arnav is not around. When he comes back hell will break lose on Anjali and the family. He may even threaten to walk out.

    And Mami and Anjali will be severely reprimanded for the stunt they pulled. Nani is going to burst open what Arnav told her yday about Shyam being the culprit who instigated Arnav and made him marry Khushi as he did.

    Simultaneously when Khushi lands up home alone, Shyam is going to start rumours saying Khushi has been ditched by her husband and the family is going to be tainted. Most probably Khushi is going to decide to go back to Lucknow with the family when Nani and Arnav arrive to render balance and restore sense.

    Arnav is going to fess up to the Gupta family that he is the culprti for breaking Payal's first wedding, tainting Khushi and then forcing her to marry him - all because he wanted to save his Di's life.

    1. Shyam will come back around Teej

      I think Anji in last year's teej episode said that irrespective of where he is on that day he always comes home to her.

      And he is going to come professing repentance for wanting to divorce her (nothing else got proved in front of Anjali) and to be given a chance for the baby. And Arnav is going to have to watch mutely as Shyam comes into the house because of the recent runin with Di and abortion and her possibly fragile mental state nto being able to withstand one more shock

    2. Sandy,

      I also want to add one more of my fav characters..Payal in to this melee that u have described....Payal will also walk out of RM after knowing the marriage condition,( i was just wondering how it will all unfold and there u r, giving scenarios galore) becos in a way, that may be the only way in which her own battered image is restored.

      Arnav and Khushi will again have some role to play to ensure that Payash are on course...(probably a role reversal in diff circumstances)

      Delete
    3. Rekha,

      Mami is going to kick both sisers out together or as she attempts to push Payal out Arnav will stand up and prevent it.

      Could be something about medicines and Anji feeling suffocated or faint and a melodrama for all we know. Arnav I think will need to apologize to Akash. For he used Akash's name to pull his blackmail and the further divorce drama.

      Payal is going to suffer the rift within RM. She will not be sent back to GH IMO.

      If Shyam is back and Arnav is not around, Shyam will need Khushi out of his way to play dirty tricks. NK not sure if he will eb around too. But what he would not have bargained for is Nani knowing all the truth.

      I was thinking of the scene when Arnav comes back from work and looks all over for Khushi only to find her missing. He asks HP then Nani and finally finds her narraing that story about Shaitaan and Sundari.

      Anji also does not know Khushi and Payal gave up the prize money in the contest. She was not around.

      Shyam's adultery had come to the fore. So he now needs to tar Khushi away from the love of her life. In the process he is going to lose the money as well. And since he would have dared hurt Khushi this time Arnav will slap him for daring to attempt smething on his wife.

  36. There is one scene that keeps playing at the back of my mind when I think of Anjali....

    Shyaam complimented Anjali that she is looking angelic(can't remember the exact word) and he cannot think of his life without her ... hugged her real tight ... very passionately.

    &that's exactly what surprised Anjali(after 3 years of marriage) & she inquired ... you have never complimented me with so much love and passion before.

    the thing is shyaam was imagining Khushi at that moment instead of anjali.

    So it's not like Anjali din't know anything.

      It will. And someplace even Shyam's words about how elder siblings cover up for younger ones. The hurried marriage and all the otehr signs that were right before her but which she turned a blind eye to.

      Call me sadistic but when this happens, I want Khushi to be hurt, Arnav to be hurting more and in a shell totally avoiding Ani so that she feels worse (ok yeh bahut fturewa main hi hoga)

    4. Dia, this is one place where they have kept Anji enigmatic....while making her go grey for a while, they will keep it real so that she also finds her way ...

  37. Girls,

    At present can understand Anji, all options, she angry with her bro and khushi is acceptable .. and the reasons which you all have stated might be reason for her decision to abort ...

    But Khushi moving out (sandy your scenarios - will etc ) again whatever the reason - either nani or anji asking her to or she on her moves out --
    What I would like to see here is a strong Khushi.. if she takes the decision to walk out I want her to blast Anji the exact way she did Arnav after the GH, and walkout holding her head up...

    That will make anji to start thinking and accepting the truth.. I want that !!
