18/7 - Epi 300 ... Trip Down Memory Lane

Wednesday 18th July

RIP Rajesh Khanna ... the first movie I saw in my life was Haathi Mere Saathi, one of my all time favorite movies both for the movie itself and especially the music, is Anand ... So many of my favorite songs are picturised on this man, as Kishore Kumar was his voice for many years.

300th episode of IPKKND ... Congratulations to the cast and crew for keeping us entertained, enthralled, enraptured, irritated ;) and so emotionally involved in the show for so long =D> =D> =D>
Now if only they would get themselves a good PR manager, and stop their cast and crew from shooting their mouths off every now and then :)

Quick update
My title changed three times while I was watching the episode tonight. So the three phases -
1) Fools rush in ... Khushi shoots her mouth off most inopportunely with Akash. Don't blame him for getting mad at her at all - one, for telling him to run his married life, like he said to Payal, quite rightly, she had no business doing that. And two, for the idiotic suggestion that he and Payal go on holiday, when the situation in the house is so depressed. So what Payal said to Khushi was completely justified and well said ... Khushi has to stop trying to sort out everyone's lives for them, her own is complicated enough for her to manage.

2) Clarifications ... Finally we get an insight into why Khushi is behaving the way she is ... She is upset about everything in general ...
Di and Mami's behavior with her ... Khushi, you can't expect much else from Anjali at the moment, to be fair to her ...
Payash tension ... that one you need to stay out of, or talk to your sister, and not to Akash ...
And of course, Arnav, she's not really angry with him, but how could he say those things to her, even though they were kind of true, but how could he say that ... she's as confused as I was yesterday ;) ... and she really would love it if he just held her tight and told her he loved her and she wasn't going anywhere, and forgot all this present giving nonsense.

Clarification also into Anjali's thought process ... as Nani finally brings up the topic of the baby, and Anjali can let loose her feelings and her confusion ... how could Shyam do all that ... but Arnav wouldn't have thrown him out if it wasn't true ... so what is the truth?! She needs to know ...

3) Trip Down Memory Lane ... Since this is the one I'm looking forward to now, I'll stick with this ... As Arnav recounts to a horrified NK, the details of his love- hate journey with Khushi. I half expected NK to ask him, how did Khushi ever fall in love with you, after Arnav finished recounting his misdeeds with her ...
And Arnav gets an idea as how how to woo his stubborn wife back :)

And I hate to say this ;) ... but it really does seem that Arnav has forgotten all about his sister in his single-minded pursuit of his Khushi ...

I have to add ... Gloatwa ve ... Never been so sad about a gloatwa ve :( no rain song, no poolside romance, heck, no poolside even ...
But cheer up, Anjali and co are still to leave for the satsang and Arnav is in very naughty mood :))

*edited*
 Arnav loses his cool ... "now can you see my gift?" And gives her no choice, she has to take it ... and he watches with an anticipatory smile as she open it, this she will like, he's sure ...
But she still doesn't want it ... and he's baffled ... baffled and furious ... this time he did everything she wanted ... he chose it himself, it's his favorite color, he ordered it himself, why doesn't she like it? It's for her, she has to wear it ...
And as she backs away, looks away, he belatedly remembers NK's advice ... talk sweetly to her ...
So he tries ... 'Khushi, I want to see you in this ...'
Any girl would have melted with that tone :"> ... but Khushi is made of sterner stuff. Or maybe she's just too heartbroken and upset ... "I won't wear it ..."
And he loses it ... "Why?! What has happened that you can't even smile once?!"
He really doesn't know?
"Because you can buy me a saree ... but you can't buy a smile ..."
And he gives up ... frustrated and angry, he throws it down and leaves ...

To NK, his love guru ... how the mighty have fallen! ;) But at least ASR has someone he can let out his frustrations and feelings to ... make that, two people, ... to Khushi and NK ... Khushi has only him, and he is not understanding in the least where she's coming from.

Hilarious Arnav-NK bromance!
"Ek baar tumne mujhe saans andar bahar nikaalne ko kaha, toh main tumhari ssansein hamesha ke liye band kar dunga!" Boy, is Arnav mad ... and frustrated ... 'Khushi ko toh main mana lunga' has never seemed such an empty boast!
And he recounts his woes ... he got Nani to make special breakfast for her, NK ruined that, she didn't even eat properly ... (can I say, first time he thought about Khushi slightly) ... he went online and bought her a saree, and she didn't even look at him ... let alone wear it ...
NK invites trouble again, and has another idea ... ;) Arnav stalks off ... 'I'll manage!'

And we get a peep into Khushi's mind finally ... as she carefully folds the saree :) ... how upset and confused and miserable she is ... the girl who always tries to spread sunshine and laughter, now the whole household is angry with her ... Di, Mami, even Jiji's marriage is suddenly turning rocky ... how can he expect her to be happy?! It's not that she's angry with him ...
But she's hurt ... hurt like hell, and insecure with it ... after everything that happened, he found it so easy to blame her, and yet, when she said she'd leave, he forced her to stay back ... how can she forget that?
How can she forget that everything that happened between them, he reduced it all back to the contract ... she thought they were beyond that, is that all it means to him? Is that all she means to him after all?After all that has happened between them what does she mean to him? She still can't be sure ... is he Shaitaan or her Rajkumar? Does her love story have a Happily Ever After, or will it end in two months? When he's loving and warm, things are fine ... but when he changes to angry, then what? And when will he change ... she can never be sure ... She's still not sure of her place in his heart or his life.

Cvs playing with Khushi's character again ... she tells Akash to go for a honeymoon? In that bright and chirpy manner?! Satyanash!!! X( Why do they get lazy writing for Khushi as soon as Arnav is around? Totally out of character for a sensitive person like Khushi ...
Don't blame Akash for getting angry ... and for letting it out on Payal ... although I did like that Akash said nothing to Khushi yet, and I also understood him letting out on Payal most unfairly ... like most husbands, so easy to blame his wife for everything without asking her the facts ... Akash has totally taken over the Angry Young Man mantle from Arnav these days!
And now it's Payal's turn to be angry with Khushi, and justifiably so ... don't interfere between husband and wife ...
She's right, why should Khushi interfere? It might take Payal a lifetime to open her mouth enough to explain to Akash, and Akash a lifetime to shut his mouth long enough to actually listen ... but their marital problems should stay between them ... Khushi has done enough, any more is just interference.

And I liked the way Payal ticked Khushi off ... firm, angry yet very controlled, her anger and her own helplessness and frustration at the entire situation coming through ... you should have talked to me, not to him ... don't do any more, I'm trying to tell everyone that I'm not only your sister, I'm Payal too ... and this is between me and my husband only ... 
If only Khushi would listen to that one, and realise she went wrong, the way she realised how wrong she was to speak to Anjali at the wrong time ...

Nani-Anjali ... and finally Anjali breaks her silence, and voices her own confusion and anguish ... what went so horribly wrong all of a sudden? How can Shyam have done all that he was accused of ... he's innocent ... and if he's innocent, then how did Arnav throw him out? Arnav is never wrong, is he? But Shyam is not like that either ... Then what is the truth?!
Satayansh moment ... Anjali wants a boy like Shyam ... and Nani is horrified and very perturbed.
And Nani also loses the opportunity to give Anjali a glimpse of the truth ... instead she sends her to sleep :(
When are they going to start opening Anjali's eyes? :(

And Khushi now more upset, even Payal is angry with her ...
ArHi ... another clash ... both are so much on each others minds, yet find it so difficult to reach out ...
And NK gives Arnav another lecture on LOWE ... :)) much to his disgust ...
While Payal tells Khushi that yes, she is angry with her ... and Khushi now wants to do something more ... *head desk* Khushi, confine your attempts to your Jiji if you have to, do not, repeat, do not involve Angry Bear with Sore Head Akash.

And NK gives Arnav some more advice ... recreate all your loving moments of your love story ... and then is horrified as Arnav takes him through the highlights ... :))

The first meeting ... where she fell into his arms ... and turned his life upside down ...

NK's romantic look was =))

And Arnav goes down Memory Lane ...and we go with him :">
He locked her into a room for the night ... by doing that, he delayed her return home, and broke Payal's wedding ... then he released the video footage and made her life hell ...
Then she joined his office, and he dropped her from the first floor ... he let her stand for hours in the parking lot in pouring rain ... when that didn't break her, he sent her to an abandoned crumbling construction site, where she could have lost her life ... and so could have he, in pulling her out ...

I expected NK to ask how on earth Khushi ever fell in love with him after all that!!! :))
But instead NK asks, you are obviously useless in the romance department, give me Khushi's side instead ... so Arnav obliges ... she started calling him Laad Governor, threw boiling hot tea on him, she pulled a knife on him, caused him to lose his voice ... she kept him hungry till he fainted ...

NK gives up ... is this a love story or a horror thriller?!

And leave Arnav with a reminiscent smile on his face ... yep, where there is Khushi, there has to be crazyness, madness ... 
And he stops, his thoughts arrested ... that's it! To bring back her smile ... madness ... their old moments ...

In Anjali's defense, Arnav does seem to have forgotten he has a sister with a shatered marriage and a broken heart somewhere close by.
In Arnav's defense, he's known about Shyam's kameenapan for months now, and come to terms with it. Much more disturbing to him is the relatively newer revelation that he's been a pretty big kameena himself by misjudging Khushi so badly, and doing what he did with her ... making it up to her seems to be his priority, especially since the rest of the family is against her, and he is her only support ... And to top it all,  he made a big mistake and blasted her again very unfairly yet again, even after knowing all the facts. Yes, his list of sins against Khushi is much longer ... he needs to start redeeming some of them ...
As for Di, she has Nani, Mami and Akash ... she's okay. Khushi has no one but him. He needs to sort things out with her first.

From the precap, this should be fun ... culminating in Khushi wearing the saree on Teej?
No expectations ... :))

    1. ahh today understood the real meaning of "My hands are tied" both litterally and figurative....

      What an episode and cant write anything ..

      at last I could get into anji mind for once... khushi and arnav's

      although NK-bitwa scene was rxcellent, need more analysis on that why bitwa was having smile instead of guilt?? except when he says about payal wedding.

      today loved akash and payal and also k needed that - stop intrfereing in others life

    2. I did expect ASR to be despondent a bit....but also realised that it would taken a bit from the narrative for the purpose it was....he was recounting the ARHI story....for him apart from the Shyam angle, it would seem all crazy, magical. Guilt about payal is something he has probably come to terms with...not justifying his actions tho...just trying to read the scene, this is my view, Aaru, hope it helps...

      Delete
    3. Aaru, Rekha,
      The part that he was remembering is a sweet memory for him, because they were both fighting each other then. Even the chaaku waala scene reminds him of her paagalpan and that is why he is smiling. It does not occur to him in this memory how deeply unjust he was to her. He is still your possessive, aggressive Arnav after all.
      He felt that pain twice before- fbs in kidnap chair and her near death.
      It will come again, when the context is right. They are trying to give us a light romantic track before the tornado.

  2. congrats IPK.....liked the 300th....nothing special...but each character touched a chord with me....even Anjali......Khushi got her monologue with DM (finally the audience knows what she is thinking)

    ASR narrating his story to NK was good....i enjoyed it....but he was smiling all through out, not a hint of regret for her hurt....really Bitwa......it is a unique story, i understand, but don't u feel anything for the pain u let her go thru........i mean all his fb's were of the time when she was hurt majorly, maybe the fb's were of lesser painful incidents, i can understand...but dropping her from his cabin.....forcing an all-nighter in the parking lot.....sending her to the GH....and he is amused now....but i did enjoy it....and the look of horror on NK's face....

    1. i think arnav's expression signified his pride in his khushi... yes he hurt her... he tried to do everything in his power to break her.... but he couldn't do anything.... "Mai uska himmat thod na saka"...

    4. and this is ASR ... to him because of all these things they are together today ... he kept her locked all night lead to payal's wedding cancellation ... and he is regretful about it .... the day he will know his footage din't only lead Khushi to come to Delhi to HIM but it also lead to K being harassed by goons and that's how shyaam entered her life, he will go mad

      I also agree with Krish ... Pride for his girl.

    5. Exactly.... Arnav knows his actions caused her some pain.... he doesnt yet know the extent of the pain... so i guess that smile or rather the lack of guilt is justified...

  4. is being brainless a family trait of the raizadas??? stupidity runs in their veins... i was so glad that finally Anji was asking the RIGHT questions for the FIRST time... and what does nani do, give her sleeping pills and asks her to take rest.... this action of nani moght have appealed if anji atleast had a round tummy to flaunt her pregnancy....

    one thing is clear, anji definitely believes her hubby is pathi parmesshwar and innocent.....

    from the epi what i gathered was, Khushi is not angry at arnav, but she couldn't forgive ASR for his harsh words... how easily he could blame her for everything that happened... she is not ready for another heart break... also when the entire family is upset... Di is angry with her, mami is not happy with her, problems betn jiji and jija and thus she couldn't be happy too.....

    i loved the transition of ASR and Arnav in the beginning... Khushi noticed it too... but her rajkumar wasnt convincing enough to overcome his shaitan avatar....


    i loved the last five mins.. the recap of the 300 episodes... the way arnav described their romantic moments and NK's reaction to it.... "I was aking about ROMANTIC moments dammit... is this what you call a love story?? this is filled with horror and thriller"

    so true na... from a third person perspective, every one of their so called romantic moments look anything but romantic... but it were these moments that brought them closer together... WHAT A LOVE STORY!!!

    And precap was just HAYEEEEE.... i have a feeling Khushi will atleast give a half smile for this.... its actually my *shiddat*.... pls, cut the guy some slack..!

    4. True, Dia.
      That rant was totally not required.

    5. su, that rant was answered promptly.. i think you should do a gloatwa ve!

      and krish, totally agree with that pride on ASR's face when he remembers his lady love's himmat..AND he was trying to get NK to say "stop" :D (you want romantic moments? i will tell you romantic moments!" smirk)

  5. RIP Rajesh Jatin Khanna the great "kaka"....the first superstar

    "maine tere liye hi saath rang ke sapne chune,
    sapne surile sapne"

    My mom was recounting the crazy "kaka" phenomenon of how teen girls would kiss the car that he used to drive and would get married to his snaps......some adoration that.....knew the story but was listening to it again....

    on to epi....

    Blast from the past.....i wondered at the nonchalance with which he recounted his past moments with Khushi and then realised...bitwa has never really understood what happened to Khushi becos of some of his actions...he only knows the Payal thing which is a done and dusted memory....
    Some of that nonchalance will turn to agonised understanding...sometime soon....and as Sandy said the peethal ka bartan moment may be on its way....who knows?

    I liked the epi for this insight...and the precap....actually i liked it......

  7. Oh!!! i almost forgot the khushi payala scene... seriuosly gal, when u have ur plate filled with troubles to last u seven life times, why are u inviting more?? i seriuosly felt very bad for payal today... she neither gets enough screen space, nor enough dialogues.... on top of that she is not very good with emoting with just gestures... and she has a hubby who keeps inventing newer reasons to get angry on her... how will the poor thing handle so much with so little space?? when khushi said, i have to do something about this... i was going *head-desk head-desk head desk* No khushi, u will NOT do ANYTHING which in itself is the greatest way to help your sis..

    1. Oh that indeed was my *head desk* moment too.

      She needs to learn she solved less and invited greater problems with her anokhi tariqas in past too. Why won't you talk with your sister first anyways??

      I really liked payalia today ... sabash ... at least some words with authority and that's an advice Khushi really needed ... And she still goes she needs to do something about it. Listen to your Jiji, will ya???

      I have a feeling something like Preeto wedding will happen ... Khushi will try try and try but at the end her hubby in ASR mode will set things right.

    3. Oh yes, ditto to all of you ... that was my head desk moment too ... Nooooo, Khushi, stay OUT of this one now ... and let your Jiji handle her own problems herself ... she has to learn to do it some time! And I hope it happens the Preeto way too ... and Arnav tells Khushi again, you cannot do everything yourself!

      I liked Payal's dialogues there when she ticked off Khushi ... they were well written and she spoke them well, with just the right amount of anger, exasperation and helplessness ...

    3. not exactly holding my breath for it...as it with this track, i am sure the forums will be going crazy with expectations.....but i guess its best to keep it low to enjoy it better....

      SN2: Am disappointed that they never showed payal and Khushi talking after the KN epi.....they have sketched Payal so poorly that today her words tended to hurt whereas she only said what she should have said anyways...she was being mature while saying, its my problem, i will handle it...
      SN3 : If i were the CV, I don't want Arnav to set things right for Payash...thats a huge disservice to ARHI...Khushi should know that Arnav never intended to break Payash..let her also learn that people's marriage travails are their own business..u can mean well and help if sought....otherwise better to stay off....I know aisa kuch nahin hoga par bolne mein kya jata hain...K will get hurt and A doubly so...

    5. since m single and unmairried, i dont have much experience with the hubby wife equations, but one thing m sure of is i wouldnt want a third person to sort out my relationship problems... even if the said third person i my bro/sis... that sort of deteriorates the intimacy between the couple... any problem in relationship should be sorted out by the couple between themselves in their own way taking their own time... so akash and payal must sort it out between them and firmly deny any help frm their respective siblings...

      Delete
    6. Krish,

      Agree with u on the above. Any elationship's privacy should be respected. Especially hubby wife because there is so much that goes n beind closed doors that one may not know of.

      And like they showed today sometimes, your action for good may actually end up causing more harm. Khushi is trying to move on but asking a man already pissed and with he house under so much tension, starting off with a kaise hain haal chaal and a sunny smile may not be the best idea.

      Delete
    7. sandy,

      khushi's "Kaise hain aap... ithne din se aapse thik se baath bbhi nahi ho payi" with a firm sunny smile was a major *head desk* moment... Can stupidity be contagious?? may be she got the disease from the RM vasis..

      Delete
    8. Exactly....i was cringing becos it was Khushi...real "head desk* moment...how did they turn a well meaning sensitive girl into a dumbo...must be the RM facade....breeds brainlessness, i guess....
      proof anji and that Shatir dimag of ASR which we have only heard of never experinced.....

      And Sandy, i completely agree with ur point and thats the reason i don't want A_K to do anything about Payash....let them show some nayi soch yaar....

      Delete
    9. Krish & Sandy : when bitiya started offering advise to akash, i was thinking the same thing, butt out khushi, let the couple handle their own issues...but jab ASR ki baat aaye, toh mann thoda selfish ho gaya....thought agar woh help karegaa toh khushi will smile and he will feel better....kya kare...ArHi ke aage baaki sab chalta hai...

      but yes i agree, the couple shud solve their issues on their own, and khushi jitna jaldi samjhegi, good for her...infact she shud let payal handle her own life and be independent......

      Delete
    10. Krish, Rekha, Geetu

      I would like ASR to explain to Khushi to let them find their path. She will rebutt and disagree but then he should reason with her and make her see his POV - like she did in the past. But he threatened to break that bond so this DIY Khushi of 1 year ago is not going to go to ASR for help. He is mostly going to chance upon the sisters tension or perhaps see Payal crying and advise Payal on the way to Akash's heart and leave it upto her and Khushi sees this.

      Delete
    11. sandy,
      Now that would be too sensible dont u think???

      Delete
    12. Sama 'agar hona hai to go all out warna bilkul nahi .... half poori nahi chalega' - absolutely hona hai toe thikse ho warna just carry on with the epis the way they are!

      Sandy agree pobably ASR will advice payal and khushi will see it - more like Preeth wedding when he advices the groom and she sees / hears it. That will be a nice touch for khsuhi to realise that ASR would have never broken payash, it was just a hollow threat.

      I also want ASR to realise and acknowledge his real reason for marrying khushi and for khushi to realise the same. We know Di ke liye was secondary reason, primary was jealousy and the fact he thought khushi was messing around with a married man...

    14. All this talk on couple should solve their issues on their own. Agree with all of you. Remember what happened when Akash tried to meddle in Arhi after the water throwing?
      ASR,I feel, if he does it to Payash, will do it in a subtle way.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Jaya, Rekha, Shwetha, Sama, Dia and opti thank you for liking my post and having the patience to read it. Sorry haven't had a chance to reply all day.

    Jaya 'I love how the CVs make barun sobti do two roles for the price of one' - epic, you had me in fits of laughter!

    Dia - 'Gloatwa vey' moment I guess. So Khushi is indeed not angry with Arnav but problem is 'Humein pata hai jab hum aapko bhulne lagange, aap humein phir dard denge....'

    Shwetha - meant to write on the last post that your scene was absolutely hilarious... you have a knack for sarci comedy girl! Loved it...

    There is one thing that is nagging me and that is I don't want khushi to know about Arnav Mallik just yet. See the thing is sab kuch jaan ke pyaar kiya toe kya pyaar kiya.... If she realises the reasons behind his erratic, eccentric and whimsical behaviour and then falls in love with ASR (she already loves arnavji) toe phir uss pyaar ka kya matlab. Pyar ki koi condition nahi hoti.

    IMO khushi has to accept her love for both Arnav and ASR before she finds out about arnav mallik. The chances are once she finds out about arnav mallik (considering the past is too horrible and painful) she might begin to sympathise with him to a certain extent, especially when it comes to saying things that might hurt him. She might become too protective about him and that's not true love. Empathy I can understand but sympathy is a big NO in love.

    Like Arnav had to accept his feeling and love for khushi before getting any hard proofs of her innocence in VLR matter, khushi needs to accept ASR before knowing why he is the way he is.

    Some things can never be changed and hence I would love to see khushi change things about ASR where she can and accept him the way he is where she can't change things! So IMO in during this track it should be about khushi accepting both Arnav and ASR and Arnav understanding khushi and her needs. It should be about learning to live with each other!

    Haven't seen the episode yet so will comment about it later...

So IMO in during this track it should be about khushi accepting both Arnav and ASR and Arnav understanding khushi and her needs. It should be about learning to live with each other!"

      so aptly put :). Khushi should not attempt to change ODB completely into Arnav... she should learn to accept and love ODB as a combination of both Arnav and ASR.... Arnav in turn must understand that words, not just deeds, are important to Khushi... it is not the costly gifts, but the heartfelt wishes that matter to her.

    2. UJ,

      Which is this lambaa waala post - on yday's kya?

      If you see his journey begins with the fashion show. So it is back to Square one for this joda and that starts with Arnav Singh Raizada only. No fear fo Arnav Malik. AT most it will be glimpses of the carefree Anav before he became ASR but not the Malik angle.

    5. UJ,

      I was thinking about Khushi's dialogue about "How somethings would never change but some things can be changed is it not" with her DM.

      And I am going to rethink my thoughts on the past making an appearance.

      Because the more I think of it, what you can never change is the past. But you can always take control of the present and implement changes to ensure that the past does not repeat itself in the future.

      Khushi can never change why Arnav Mallik became ASR but she can try and change the sporadic takeover of ASR over Arnavji with a balance where both ASR and Arnav co-exist. Because she will never be able to change the ASR in Arnav.


      There was once in the last few months I had a thought about this.

      The things that ran in my mind then were:
      Nani's mention of how a skeleton in Mami's closet was hidden by the family at Payal's havan.
      Nani's constant mention of how ASR is just like his dad. She never speaks of her daughter wrt ASR. And Anjali calls him chotey. And in his mother's letter also she addressed him as to my chotey's bahu.
      Then that moment in GH where ASR tells Garima that he can never call anybody else Ma.
      And the need for ASR to sacrifice himself for his family's sake. He seems a part of the family yet is not really a part of the family.

      Refer to 24th April post: http://dia-thoughtsandstuff.blogspot.in/2012/04/244.html
      The comment begins with: Dialogues which imprinted themselves on my head after the epi

      I never voiced it then because it seemed too far fetched and far removed from what was happening but the thought which struck me then was "What if Arnav is Anjali's half brother?"

      It can still be a whimsical thought but today it does not seem so crazy after all.

  14. A song dedication for Arnav's vocal thakniki kharabis...

    "Things I'll Never Say" by avril lavigne

    I’m tugging at my hair
    I’m pulling at my clothes
    I’m trying to keep my cool
    I know it shows
    I’m staring at my feet
    My cheeks are turning red
    I’m searching for the words inside my head

    [Pre-Chorus]
    (Cause) I’m feeling nervous
    Trying to be so perfect
    Cause I know you’re worth it
    You’re worth it
    Yeah

    [Chorus]
    If I could say what I want to say
    I'd say I wanna blow you... away
    Be with you every night
    Am I squeezing you too tight
    If I could say what I want to see
    I want to see you go down
    On one knee
    Marry me today
    Guess, I’m wishing my life away
    With these things I’ll never say

    It don’t do me any good
    It’s just a waste of time
    What use is it to you
    What’s on my mind
    If it ain’t coming out
    We’re not going anywhere
    So why can’t I just tell you that I care

    [Pre-Chorus]

    [Chorus]

    What’s wrong with my tongue
    These words keep slipping away
    I stutter, I stumble
    Like I’ve got nothing to say

    [Pre-Chorus]

    Guess I’m wishing my life away with these things I’ll never say
    If I could say what I want to say
    I'd say I wanna blow you...away
    Be with you every night
    Am I squeezing you too tight
    If I could say what I want to see
    I want to see you go down
    On one knee
    Marry me today
    Guess, I’m wishing my life away
    With these things I’ll never say
    These things I’ll never say

    "Begin Again" by Colbie Caillat

    I can't get you out of the sunlight
    I can't get you out of the rain
    I can't get you back to that one time
    Cause you and me are still recovering

    So let's just, try to cool it down
    The fighting, this feeling of flames
    So let's just try to slow it down
    We crash when we race

    Oh this is not the way that it should end
    It's the way it should begin
    It's the way it should begin, again
    No, I never wanna fall apart,
    Never wanna break your heart
    Never wanna let you break my own
    Yes, I know we've said a lot of things
    That we probably didn't mean
    But it's not too late to take them back
    So, before you say you're gonna go...
    I should probably let you know
    That I never knew what I had...
    I never knew what I had...

    See I look for you in the morning
    Cause that's what my mind always calls
    And I can't wait to get to the evening
    Cause that's when I want you the most

    So let's just try to cool it down
    The fighting, this feeling of flames
    So let's just try to slow it down
    We crash when we race

    Oh this is not the way that it should end
    It's the way it should begin
    It's the way it should begin, again
    No, I never wanna fall apart,
    Never wanna break your heart
    Never wanna let you break my own
    Yes, I know we've said a lot of things
    That we probably didn't mean
    But it's not too late to take them back
    So, before you say you're gonna go...
    I should probably let you know
    That I never knew what I had...
    I never knew what I had...

    But I know it now...
    I wish I would've known before
    How good we were...
    Or is it too late to come back
    Or is it's really over,
    If it's really over...

    But this is not the way that it should end
    It's the way it should begin
    It's the way it should begin, again
    No, I never wanna fall apart,
    Never wanna break your heart
    Never wanna let you break my own
    Yes, I know we've said a lot of things
    That we probably didn't mean
    But it's not too late to take them back
    So, before you say you're gonna go...
    I should probably let you know
    That I never knew what I had...
    I never knew what I had...

    I never knew what I had...
    I never knew what I had...
    I never knew what I had...

  17. Sama,
    In case you did not hear it by now and for those who have not heard:
    This is how that RM iv went.


    DB: My husband is out of town too. It is creepy to get so many hate mails.
    If Anjali was a friend of mine, I’d actually feel bad for her.If it happened to me, my family will be discussing how to solve the problem. I’d not have a break-up and .. on the second day, SECOND day, I go to my mother’s or sister’s room and see everything lit up, cake, candles- it is not about a couple- you cannot have a celebration in the same room in the second day. If it is a week, 10 days…OK 15 days it is ime, move on Anjali. To expect celebration so early is not fair.

    Aksh:Don’t have a one dimensional view of the story. See it from every character’s POV.

    DB:
    Thanks for getting affected because it is a compliment.We are really working hard, guys. And don’t mail me those hate mails.
    But, love you guys.

    Thot it was a pretty decent IV.
    Guess she needed to let it out.
    I kind of empathise with Anji, so I didn’t mind it.

    But, What kind of weirdos send hate mails to actresses?
    What kind of an idiot is DB to get genuinely upset by this???

      they have smacked us all in the face and said after all the unconventional romance u teh viewers have teh audacity to call this didi ki saut..

      Su,
      Door ghatana - a faraway accident - perhaps an accident of the past or an accident to occur in teh fture when Arnav is busy with hsi lovely wife.

      Payal's dekhkar chalo was ominous. Last time ANjali told Khushi ki aapko dekhkar chlan chaahiye, soon after Anjali's life came aaprt at the seams.

      Delete
  19. Just two thoughts:
    1. What did Khushi mean by “ You cannot change some things, but some things can be changed”?:

    That you cannot change the past, but you can change the future. Context? Arhi or Anjali?

    2. Will Anji leave for satsang, now that she is sedated? If she goes up to her bro’s room again, “Woman, have some sense to knock!”

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. 1. khushi was ruminating on arnav/ASR being insensitive=cannot be changed:: payash situation= can be changed.. which is why she went and talked to akash

      2. anji will wake up in time for satsang.. and nani will take her there, because nani knows that poojas are anji's de-stressing tool... like driving is for arnav.. and jalebis for khushi.. wonder if CVs forgot about khushi's jalebis.. or khushi stopped making jalebis because of that sugarfree incident, where making jalebis did not calm her..

      Delete
    2. I thought:
      She was talking about Arhi in Di's context. She cannot change things that happened with Shyam, for her. But she can get out of the bro- sis relation for ASR's and Di's sakes, because in her eyes, Di is more important than Khushi. He will hurt more if di withdraws from him. So, she may have to get him used to not having Khushi around. And anyway, this is a 6 month contract. She can leave for ASR.

      1. If she was not angry, why did she leave B'fast. She is trying to put a distance between Arhi.

      2. Who brought up the contract? Wasn't it K who implied it first, by leaving without her husband's permission? She acted like the marriage was over there!

      Delete
    3. I wanted to write this before I got off in the morning.
      Jaya, I like what you wrote about”Kuchh cheezein badli jaa sakthi hain”: Yes. It was about Payash. It was also about Di and mamiji. Among these three, Di is what she may have felt most strongly about. B’coz that involved ASR too.
      Want to repeat that rant now.
      This dialogue, to me, was the highlight of yesterday’s epi.
      It should have been explained clearly to the audience. Instead of following it up with a pregnant silence, Khushi should have gone on and explained what exactly she meant. See how many interpretations we have now.(UJ has written hers below)

      Iss dialogue writer ka kya karein?
      He loves talking in riddles; I bet his communication skills are zero in real life too!

    4. Dia, loved ur take on closures....fully agree with u...

      Delete
    5. Su,

      I don't know if i am saying this properly...but this in what i want to say in defence of ASR
      we always expect exemplary behaviour from our heroes, that they should walk the righteous path,whatever be the circumstance.
      But we are human, self -interest is what drives most of us. The ones who are able to incorporate other interests into their own are known to be sensitive souls. The very reason that ASR is going to face a tuf time is becos of his sensitive nature to accord the same importance to two important people in his life. Varna is sab ki koi zaroorat hi nahin thi.....
      else they would have only had to deal with the awkwardness of Khushi being Didi's saut.
      The fact that spouse is the primary person in a person's priority call(if there is one, and leaving children out of it)of relationships.

      Delete
    6. Rekha,
      Thanks.
      I was wondering about the 'closure'. Now I realise you are responding to my post below.

      "I am not very comfortable with this ‘bro’.":

      I think you and Dia were misguided by this line. My fault, since both of you MU-ed.)Need to work on communication skills)

      What I meant is: 'I am only worried that if something happens to Anji NOW, he will super-blame himself and K will have to go on a mending spree.'

      He IS doing fine as a brother.
      And yes, "spouse is the primary person", always.

    7. Hey Su....no muing yaar...ur comm skills absolutely fine....

      Tho i addressed it to u,(there were posts on that point) i meant it as more as personal perspective...

      I don't like idealism to the point of ignoring what people usually do in reality in such circumstances(ok didi ki saut is a unique circumstance tho, i don't even have benchmark reference and i wouldn't want to...hehehe)
      But i like a touch of realism even in the righteous portrayals..thats why i liked Payal's talk with Khushi...
      I know its hard to find dramatic elements with such real portrayal.....but just saying what i like....

      I agree with ur point on "mending spree"

  20. Dia,
    ‘And I hate to say this ;) ... but it really does seem that Arnav has forgotten all about his sister in his single-minded pursuit of his Khushi ‘:

    This is what the CVs should be careful about. They can let Anjali believe that Chhote is lost to Khushi, but they cannot show the viewers that he is really lost.Today was still that morning in IPK when ASR got pooris made by nani. He enquired about Di at B’fast, but that was hardly a second. May be tomorrow nani will want to discuss Anji with him. They need to show that brother is still there. Or may be this is to lead him on a guilt trip if something bad happens to Anji. Either way, I am not very comfortable with this ‘bro’.

    1. Su, I will play devil's advocate here ...

      For Arnav and Khushi, this whole saga is about four months old. It hasn't hit them the way it has hit the rest of the family because they have known about this and have been dealing with it for so long in their individual ways. For them it's more like the CLOSURE of the entire chapter ... and the start of the new one, which is re-adjusting their own relationship in the aftermath. Because for them, their own relationship has been completely held to ransom by Shyam's lies, and it's only now they're sorting it out. Hence this does take priority for them, especially for Arnav, as he was the one who did the most wrong. Arnav wanted to throw Shyam out right at the start, he couldn't because Di was pregnant, he's finally done it now, and it's what he wanted to do all along.
      He did know Di would be upset, but the way he told her on the wedding night was most cut and dried as well ... sorry Di, I hate to tell you this, your husband has been cheating on you with Khushi. Blunt and to the point. Throw him out. Chapter finished.

      So for him, it's back to that. Shyam out, chapter finished.
      Next chapter, rebuild his relationship with Khushi.

      For Anjali and the rest, it's just the start. They had no clue,they didn't know anything was wrong anywhere, they are all still shell shocked and coming to terms with it. They're at the stage Arnav was on the wedding night terrace scene, or maybe a few hours later when he saw a pregnant Anjali ... shocked and trying to take it in, decide what to do.

      NK also has known about it for some time, and the way he got involved left him with no room for doubt about Shyam either ... hence this was closure for him as well, and he is also ready to move on with the next issue.
      For him, that issue is ArHi, not so much Anjali, because he's seen more of Khushi's suffering in the last few days, especially her agony when she had to trap Shyam. All his attention is therefore firmly on Khushi and how to make her feel better.

      So the different parties are at different stages in their reactions to the truth and how they perceive it ... hence the disconnect.

    2. 'So for him, it's back to that. Shyam out, chapter finished.

      Dia,
      Thanks for putting it in this perspective. 'So the different parties are at different stages in their reactions to the truth and how they perceive it ... hence the disconnect.'
      Totally agree.
      I am only worried that if something happens to Anji NOW, he will super-blame himself and K will have to go on a mending spree.

      I feel chapter 2 should already has a small paragraph on Anji- help Di adjust. And I am not complaining- he is giving her space, enquiring about her, asking her if he can do anything for her, telling K to keep away- he is doing fine as a brother.

    Hey! Do u guys think i might have a chance to do my first gloatwa vey if Arnav does the Diwali lights scene also in reverse after the cupboard scene? That is one of my fav scenes.i don't think the cvs imagined it to become what it did when they wrote it....it was BS and SI who made it amazing! I hope he does it ...SHIDDAT!!

  22. Dia nice quick update. 'But cheer up, Anjali and co are still to leave for the satsang and Arnav is in very naughty mood :))' Ofc Dia I'm looking forward for Anji and co to go. Arnav has already got her a new saree in his favourite colour. Aaj mausam hai aashikana, saree pehen ne ka ha bahana, Wt WT WT.... *MIG* Hope they can create a truly magical moment without being under the influence bhaang. ***SHIDDAT***

    Loved NK Arnav Bromance - Arnav finally opened up to someone and spoke about his moments with khushi. Can't imagine arnav talking about this to Di, Akash or Payal. Happy that at least he has taken the first step towards talking to someone. Hope this will slowly lead him to open up his heart and feelings to khushi. Khushi needs his words and today was surely the unsteady baby step towards it.

    Su - “ You cannot change some things, but some things can be changed”?:
    You cannot change somethings - you cannot change me, I love to interfere in people's life and relations. At the moment I am interfering in jiji and jijaji's life and no matter how many times I am told to not do it, I can't be changed.
    Some things can be changed - ASR can be changed and I will do my best to change him.... Khushi stop interfering, will you?

    Nani really? For a change anji was asking the right questions but all in vain she was given a sleeping pill as a result of asking the right questions. Hai re nandkishore....!!! Nani please let her think, let her remember things and put together the hints and clues she has had in the past. Well at least she is thinking now...

    Since the old moments are being re-created can we have diwali moments re-created with rain sequence As it is the red saree has aleady reached Khushi.... *MIG Alert* *SHIDDAT*

    1. UJ,
      I feel Khushi will not try to change him much. She shouldn't, b'coz ASR accepted as she was, with all her 'paaagal'ness and her fashion sense and her 'foot in the mouth' syndrome. He did not want to change ONE thing about her.
      I am hoping K is mature enough to realise that she loves her laad guvner exactly as he is. If he became perfect, how'd she fight with him? She said it clearly, na, 'I am not angry with him'- when she has all the reason to be fuming mad since he brought up the contract.
      Jaali RV:" Itne din se aap ke daant nahi khaaye!"

      She is a very strong girl. I am guessing, she even knows why he brought up the 'contract'. I feel the issue for her now is: "I wanted to leave and he is not letting me."

    Phir teri yaad naye geet sunane aayee
    Dil ki duniya mein naye deep jalane aayee

    Ye khayalon mein bhi khwabon mein bhi tadpati hai
    Muskurati huyee ye keh ke chali aati hai
    Main tujhe ishq ke sholon se bachane aayee
    Phir teri yaad naye geet sunane aayee

    Yaad-e mehboob idhar aa main tujhe pyar karoon
    Tu agar jaan bhi mange to na inkar karoon
    Ek diwane se kyun pyar jatane aayee?
    Phir teri yaad naye geet sunane aayee

  24. Loving the bro-mance of Arnav and NK. Arnav is starting to open up a little and NK can't believe what he is hearing (doesnt know the half of it really, only touched,the tip of this particular iceberg) is this a love story or an ongoing nightmare.
    Arnav smiling as he thinks of all the things they have been through together. Pride but also something else in that smile, that look. He made life so,difficult, but she always bounces back with her mad and crazy ways. Changed his life completely, added colour when there was only grey.
    He knows he can't let her leave his life, but the odds are stacked against him. She is as determined to leave as he is to make her stay. It's love and fear that makes her want to go. The love for her husband to want to see him happy, and the fear of being hurt by that,same person. It's love and fear that makes him want her to stay. Fear of losing her and because she is the love of his life.

    1. Lin,
      Loved the way you put this ... the love and fear for both of them :)))
      She's afraid of how much he can hurt her, he's afraid that she will actually leave him ... the love is there always.

      Pride in his look ... she is his equal, she took everything he threw at her, and bounced back. Hence the pride when he recounts the tea-throwing, the knife ... she is his tigress, his soulmate, as strong as he is and then some. She is his biggest strength and his biggest weakness both :))) A completely mad couple, made for each other!

      I will not be disappointed even if there is no rain hug. After GH's take on waste of water and actors falling sick, I don't mind if they scrap the idea totally. Sarun- both of them- do have a tendency to fall sick quickly. I'd prefer to see them both hale and hearty than a rain hug.
      I kind of feel we'll get it though.(DABH has a pool hug in their promos. I bet SP will put pressure on GH)

  27. congrats IPK for completing 300.. :)) thank you for giving us a such a beautiful story.. :))

    Can't say I wasn't disappointed with the hype of 3000 epi.. I was expecting an out and out ArHi epi.. but then the CVs decided to give me and many others a reality check as to what exactly is IPK all about.. the 300th episode was an epitome in the sense that it had every character and that too utilised to its full potential.. each character was justified in their behaviour ... I would have also loved if shyam had made a small entry in addition to all, if they had to show the essence of IPK, but well.. I'll put it past ...

    Having said this, I still CANNOT empathise with anjali...and I think this has got a lot to do with the fact that just before the episode I watched DB's rangmunch interview where she ferociously justified her character! If I had developed empathetic feelings towards DB after GH's tweet, I have to admit...after her interview they were slightly gone.. mostly because I thought DB and anjali are two different persons..I shouldn't let out my frustration with one on the other..but from the interview it doesn't seem so..they both are quite similar ... in many aspects, like for example DB saying "I am not such a stong woman in real life...and my husband is also out of town.. please stop doing this to me!" and I'm like "OK..grow up!!" I mean, Abhaas had also recieved soooo many hate mails, but did he go around justifying his character?! No.. because he was confident enough of his acting skills and sure that what he was doing is right.. and really, when you are in showbixx shouldn't you learn to ignore all such stuff?!

    Which brings me back to the MJHT days... remember aaru and dia, how gunjan was bashed left, right and center?! But did Sanaya go around defending her?! I never remember ONE single instant when she has defended gunjan or forced the audience to understand her.. when even she clearly knew that b/w gunjan and nupur, nupur was going to be the most loved one.. infact many times she herself had openly stated the fact that the character she plays is quite dull and its justified if the audience doesn't like it.. that shows CONFIDENCE..and the fact that she will keep on doing it because she loves doing it..and now because she wants to audience to gulp down everything that she emotes on screen ...

    As for DB/Anjali..well, I always had the feeling that anjali is this superficially sweet person.. you know, those aren't really sweet from within.. but are only sweet and nice about life because their own life is intact.. the moment their life is haywire..they want and attention and support of everything and everybody .. sorry to any DB fans here, but after yesterday's interview I felt DB was EXACTLY the same person.. :( especially when she was justifying anjali's actions by saying that she is a pregnant woman with hormones so we should cut her some slack.. and I was like, realllyy???!! Then convince us that you are pregnant.. after 4 months of pregnancy one should have the tummy protruding out.. the fact that she doesn't show it, makes everything look soo fake to me!!

    ok..sorry for the long rant.. :P but I had to get it out somewhere.. and again, sorry if I have hurt the sentiments of any DB fans.. :)

    2. Mads: Hugs bey! I cut DB some slack ki we dont know what she was promised, what she renegotiated. But yesterday was the whole My hubby is out of town, mehhhhhhh...

      And I dont think she got any emails, who uses emails anyway, She might be referring to Waking up and finding IF posts.

      Sanaya has been very cool about Khushi, she always says you can make her do anything and the actor will do justice even if she wants to scream, what the hell my character is doing.

      Same with Barun, I mean I have never seen him ASR. Infact in one instance he was saying ASR is a bit of a dumb character who does not understand the obvious during the dumbcharade interview. He never said he has a traumatic post blah blah or even during the diwali interview he joked, khoon toh mera honay wala cos he knew how audience wil react to his trampling of Khushi's heart.

      And she got Dogra by her side knowing fully well that Dogra is good at these things, grrrrrr..

      Why didnt she defend it all alone if she had to, why drag him in?

      She was the one who leaked that she was quitting to put the pressure on the Team. Warna, channel or PH or usually very guarded about these things. We came to know about Barun's movie so late though rumors started a month ago.

I have seen many different interviews of hers..but never saw many of Barun..but from what you are saying, I can understand why they both share such an amazing rapport! :))

      And I think of all the cast if someone has to complain the most then its Akshay.. ok probably he wasn't even promised a big role, but 7/10 days he isn't even a part of an episode! How should he react to this, then?! :S

    4. Shwetha, Mads,
      Share your feelings on DB here.
      I hope this does not go on to become professional jealousy between the actors. If she is childish enough to retaliate like this, she will have problems adjusting with Khushi's and Sanaya's popularity. Hope that will not happen, as that will be a dampener on the sets.
      Anji may not turn negative, DB might!

      @DB: We are not saying "Grow up Anjali", we are saying, "Grow up, DB!"

    5. count me in madsie, BG :D

      DB had a real good chance to shine with this track if only she din't go shoot her mouth with a half baked quitting drama ....I was offered a main lead (then why din't you Q when show was promoted with Sanaya in every add).... I AM missing bro-sis bond ... The actor in ME wants growth in the character (not even sporting a baby bump)

      DB is just not allowing to enjoy the show ... because it is the way its suppose to be, I would have liked a bit more family reaction but chalo chodo. Jab apko pata hai you are not that amazing an actress (reel &real) to pull it off either ... who asked you to shoot your mouth.

      When Su wrote in comment above in WU of RM interview .... "my husband is out of town" I was like "woman did you forget your own play Shyaam was kicked out of the house" ... then I was like ooooo she is talking about her real life husband. Weird much :S

      Delete
    6. @Sama..exactly my thoughts abt the promotion of the show!! I mean, every promo that hit the screen showed ArHi's characters and how they couldn't love each other despite being in love with each other.. all of the promos made it looked as if it WAS infact primarily a love story and the 'didi' was a side character ... and now they say the original concept was abt bro-sis and khushi-the guy's love interest was only a side story.. well, then why did you promote it soo much in the beginning?! And why did DB take THAT in good stride?!

      I know why.. because even the CVs knew that a love story would attract much more viewers than a bro-sis story with the girl as the didi's saut..and especially a girl like Sanaya whom people would never love to hate .. they took the easy way out...promoted the love story in the hope that audience would accept the main story later on.. but guess what CVs? Surprise, surprise.. you have ruined your original plot by promoting ArHi and giving them much much more screen space than what you had originally wanted.. now deal with the consequences and kindly do NOT justify the behviour of your character.. and most importantly, tell your actors to shut the **** up! :S

    7. you know madsie I see nothing in the story going otherwise than ArHi ... It is full on ArHi for me ... how else are these two going to learn simple things about eachother ... and given the character sketch of ArHi their relationship will never be all understanding one .... because they never speak their mind to eachother.

      But NO thanks to DB .... now we always have this at the back and for unfortunate people at the front of our mind that this all because of her that ArHi is show this way. Trust me Madsie if they went all out ArHi we would have been bored by now and demanding strong parallel tracks,so much have happened at RM show us the consequences& all.

    8. me too agree with you Mads...though i liked anjali's reasoning yesterday...m seriously not liking DB....even yesterday the way she was talking bt, the birthday celebrations and all....seems like she forgot to draw the line between reel and real......

    9. Random thoughts after DB's interview ...
      My MIL passed away last year. Five days after her passing, and the day after her chautha was our wedding anniversary ... not a milestone or anything, but just a regular anniversary. My husband's brother and sister made it a point to celebrate ... all six of us, the three children and their spouses went out for lunch together. Because SHE would have liked that.

      My friend's father passed away on her husband's birthday. The following year, my friend made it a point to celebrate her husband's birthday, because she didn't want the sad memories to overcome the happy ones.
      My nani passed away on my Nana's birthday. The following year, my Nana was the one who asked everyone, aren't you all going to wish me? Aren't we going to celebrate?

      My MIL was operated for cancer about a week before my first birthday after my marriage - I'd been married less than a year. She was just about back home, and still recovering in bed. My husband got a cake, and we celebrated in her bedroom, because she wanted to be there in the celebration.

      If Anjali was really a graceful and strong sister, the moment she came to know it was her sister-in-law's birthday, she would have made it a point to wish her at least ... the following day if not the same day. And appreciated that her bro and SIL kept their celebration private and within the confines of their own room. After all, it was her SIL's first birthday after her marriage ...

      I will give Anjali some benefit of doubt - she is shattered at the blow of losing her husband. Why is she reading it more as losing her brother? THAT is where the cv's are going wrong, in my opinion ... that her first thoughts are not about how Shyam has betrayed her, or even whether he has or not ... but that she has lost her brother's support.

      And that is why I can't really sympathise with DB in her interview, because even she, along with the CV's, are losing track of the main point ... for a normal married woman, her reaction to her husband's infidelity and criminal behaviour should come first ... not that whether her brother is celebrating or not. Any married brother's normal life would continue alongside his concern for his sister ... by showing this reaction, cv's are reinforcing that the sibling relationship is an unhealthy one.

      Of course Anjali's reaction is influenced by the fact that the woman in her husband's life as well as her brother's both are the same woman ... so again, show that reaction towards Khushi. Not towards Arnav.

      Delete
    10. Dia,

      Anjali may not have known it was K' B'day. No one told her in the show. She would have had to decipher it out with the cake and all. She might have thought it was ASR romancing his wife.

      Purely trying to stick to the story here.
      I mean, DB is irritating me a lot, but I find it difficult to hate Anji still. May be I am just making up excuses because I love this character. I hope they are clear about what they want her to show her as.

      Mads, 'they say the original concept was abt bro-sis':

      DB must have definitely heard it wrong. This is a love story and Arhi are the leads. Shyam comes next, and yes, the sister is just gaining importance. She should shut up if she does not want to be MU-ed any more. She is making the situation worse for her.

    11. Agree with u all saying people should not look to defend characters they play.....the beauty is when these characters become dear to u in the way they are played out...we also love negative characters becos their portrayal
      wins our heart
      case in point We love Abhaas even though his character gets the vilest names and we never heard Abhaas put out a defence of his character.
      On Anji, there are two schools of thot really, one that says her behaviour is justified and another that says no..why should DB take the character personally and say...why don't u all appreciate what she is going thru...arre baba, if we wish to appreciate we will.....thats the whole point....when a character plays out, we tend to relate to whats put out on screen....if they match our sensibilities, or seem logical to our thot process, we accept it

      Its like Abhaas saying...look please understand Shyam's POV....the funny part is we have understood Shyam's POV and completely love to hate the character...but Abhaas doesn't go abt getting sympathy votes for his Shyam

      Somehow i get the feeling DB is trying to say that i am positive character..see me as that....don't tar me with Shyam's brush.....
      Anji as a character will always draw different reactions becos of the way the character is structured....
      One school of thot says...give her time, she has had a had knock
      another will say, come on get up and face reality....
      where is the issue really?
      Not the last word on this but i remembered what sweet San said what do u like about ASR? and pat came the reply, with BS by her side, she patted his hand and said "Barun playing ASR"...

  28. coming back to the last 5 mins of the episode.. well, ideally Arnav's casual attitude towards the pain he has given khushi should have irked me, but it didn't..and on second watch, I know why! :))

    The one phrase in his dialogues explained everything for me... when he sayd "uski himmat tab bhi nahi tooti.." and then it hit me, ofcourse! This guy loves his girl not just because of her pagalpan and madness ... but the one reason that set her apart from the rest was the fact that she could bear his actions and tha consequences of it without losing her faith in herself and in her principles.. the harder he tried to break her, stronger she became.. :)) she was not gopi vahu getting depressed by everything he did to her.. she got back at him.. and proved him that she was his equal in every which way.. :) that explains his smile when he talks abt her throwing garam chai at him or threatening him with chakoo or keeping him hungry till he fainted.. :))

    reitering heer-ranjha dialogue and this time completing it ..

    "is pyaar mein sahi or galat ka koi matlab nahi hain..maayne rakhta hai to sirf yeh, ki main tumse bahut bahut pyaar karta hoon.."

    he knows how he is and is shamelessly arrogant about it..but he has found someone who has loved him irrespective of this arrogance ... and that is why he doesn't want to let khushi go.. is he selfish? totally.. does he not care about khushi? ofcourse he does, and that is why he wants to make sure he erases all those painful memories by recreating them in his own way .. and making sure they are infact memorable for her now..make her see what a long journey they have had ... make her believe that their love has survived so much uptil now..and yet has not gone..

    and most importantly, make her believe that her shaitan and rajkumar are both the same person.. and that she can love them both... because she created the rajkumar with her love and care and now its his turn to make her love that shaitaan in him too.. :)

    I don't care how much you stretch this CVs..I don't care if you show this everyday just for the last 5 minutes..I wouldn't mind.. but please keep this consistent now.. :)

  29. I really did like the episode...

    Majorly enjoyed...

    1. Arnav and NK...they've hit jackpot with this duo and I hope they exploit it. THey've managed to show that annoying yet sweet brother bond which I always wanted Akash and Arnav to share...but this is better because I like NK more than Akash...-sorry Shweths, Krish ...Akash is BORING!!

    2. I was sooooo happy that Payal finally told Khuhsi to butt out! she really needed it. Somehow Khuhsi's monologue really annoyed me today. She came across as one of those people who want to always fix everyone else's lives and be little miss fix it. Like she doesn't have enough of her own issues to handle.

    3. The saree scene reminded me of Beauty and the Beast again. Its like they picked up the scene from the movie...little worrying how forceful Arnav was being and then he remembers NK's words and asks sweetly...just like The beast remembers Mrs. Potts' words and asks Bella sweetly...

    4. The recounting was done very well I felt...very much in character...matter of factly almost yet unable to not grin at some of their stranger romantic moments...I felt it was okay that he did not wallow in guilt because none of the flashbacks were post marriage ones...and before that Khushi gave back just as good as she got- which is what made him notice her in the first place.

    ....

    I do hope that there is a proper scene where Arnav fully realizes what he did to her and just how demeaning their marriage was. Although he's begun his RTR and all this is very cute and funny I want Khushi to open her mouth and repeat his contract line and I want him to have those very specific flashbacks of their wedding night and of all the times he really hurt her...Also I want him to realize the magnitude of hurt Shyaam gave her...somehow that one slap was totally anti climactic for me...Shyaam manhandled her, leered at her, called her humiliating names and attempted to kill her! -does no one remember her tied up on the road waiting to be run over?- Come on please don't forget all this....This is what annoys me they set things up beautifully and then don't follow through.

    Payash ...somehow they just don't hold my attention so don't really care what happen in their story...

    Anjali...she's finally asking the right questions...I hope we see Shyaam back in the picture...not in RM but contacting Anjali manipulating her and playing with her mind. In the end I'd really like them to show her being the one who gets rid of Shyaam for good....Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned -they have so much potential for this character...Arhi are the feel good factor for the viewers ...Anjali can be the lesson- nayi soch- that a woman can take control of her life and doesn't need to have husband especially if he's a faithless attempted murderer....

    1. Gargi,

      Huggss!!!

      B&B huh..well well well who better than Disney to create dreamy romance...

      "I can see it happening...And can you feel the love tonight?"

      That single rose is so like the rose the beast had, and the prince had to find someone who loved him before the last petal fell if he were to live.

      Even I like dthe vein of recall. Totally matter of fact cos yeah it was 2 bull heads butting horns then. For now I think his recall will stop at the way he married her.

      NK said Yaadon ki duniya main so jaao..but just when they get into the dreamy phase, like the last time, Shyam is going to be back with a bang! It is then that the fury of ASR will again be unleashed. And Arnav will repent for what Khushi was subjected to and how she nearly died.

      Payash - well there is a lot of potential there and I feel sad taht they are not using AD's acting potential completely. Theirs is teh typical love marriage scenario where post honeymoon phase or at teh first knowck of a crisis reality bites.

      Anjali is well and truly on the path to exonerate Shyam and Arnav and blame it all on Khushi - falsely acusing SHyam and blinkering Arav in her love. But yeah let her emerge strong and stand up for herslef when all this is done. It can have an Aaja Nachle kidn ending where an open ended thought is left about a possible budding romance for her with her therapist after she has chucked out SHyam:)

      My CCKKP scene for the day:

      ASR walking down the steps to reach the same level as Khushi and then the both of them walking towards each other albeit from opposite directions. And telling each other they do not want to talk to each other. Khushi says dont want to see him with DM in BG and it was like the temple bandagement moment. I was like Ha! dream on bitiya bcos now u r gonna be thrown in his path mpre than ever :)

    Awesome edit. NK right now is the most awesome character on scene and KG plays him so well. I can imagine how tough it would be for the others to not burst out laughing on his face.

    NK's t-shirt had angry birds and a Divide and Conquer caption - Shyam's reentry mantra? Plus NK now knows that Arnav was responsible for Payal's 1st wedding breakup (more bromance in future b/w NK and Akash?)

    So it does seem it was love at first sight for Arnav is it not. Every romantic moment he recounts to NK are the ones where Khushi showed spunk and stood up to him.
    Every romanti moment of Khushi's that he tells NK about are the ones where she caused him some harm or hurt but then rectified it by caring for him with determination and sincerity. Also the harm she caused him was never intentional.

    also was thinking of the revised food bill 2-1/2-30
    coming together in unity, dichotomy of people and relationships, anniversary of pearls, lakshmi period / sowbhaagya phase of navratri. 1 could also mean back to square 1. 1/2 could also mean divide and conquer. NK mentioned 0 and somehow it seems to be an indication of Life coming full circle.

    And the precap scene, hayyee. That was the first time Arnav faced the situation of having lost her forever and she had unexpectedly come back into his life. That day she dropped the payal by the poolside which he held onto until Diwali night.

    That scene was also hayyee for me cos I wrote yday that Khushi told Anjali about how the best gift a hubby can give his wife is a smile and Khushi brought it up with Arnav today. Guess the poolside scene and subsequent holding her back already covered the part about "wife when you choose and when you are angry, I mean nothing".
    So fingers crssed now for the car convo. The promo gives me hope in some way. It shows the vishwaas, the wedding scenes and then Arnav closing the door when Khushi tries to leave.

    Dreamy....

    Rekha,
    remember that day we were speaking of how the stars / destinies of Arnav and Khushi's lives seemed to have been exchanged on that terrace. He is smiling more whereas she is more in angst and talking of relationships. He seems all set to learn matters of the heart and she all set to learn matters of the mind. Love and maturity.

    1. Lovely analysis Sandy and awesome edit Dia....

      Delete
    2. Dia lovely edit. I really liked the bromance part in the epi yday.
      Sandy I was thinking about Arnav being Anji's half bro after reading your post. There are two possibilities if this true and considering he is legitimate...
      1. Anji's father left her mother and married another woman. Anji's mother being nani's daughter so Arnav's mum other woman hence nani refering to only Arnav's father when it comes to Arnav. But then would Arnav be living so amicably in nani's house if he was the child if another woman? I mean would nani accept him. Moreover should he not be with his nani instead of Anji's nani?

      2. Anji's mother left her father and married another man. This is hardly a possibility as this would mean even if Arnav was Mallik Anji was not Mallik due to different fathers...

      Scene 1 possible but too difficult to comprehend. Although it does explain his need to belong, sacrifice and make everything better for his foster family just like Khushi. But i'm not sure nani and Arnav could have the kind of relation they do specially the alu poori bit day before reminds us of the lovely relation ASR shares with nani. Also if Arnav was a foster child to this family he would never stand up against nani the way he did during La track.

      Divide and rule, yup ofc divide anji and Arnav. That's the only way he can come back to RM.

      NK's Door ghatna - is it anji's baby in question or khushi meeting another life threatening incidence in the near future?

      As I say sab jaan ke pyaar kiya toe kya pyaar kiya. I would like to see khushi fall in love Arnav and ASR the way they are before she finds out the truth about Mallik.

      Akash, mami and Anji - it was khushi who won over his and her families for both of them post marriage. Raizada family is already upset with khushi except nani (arnav reassured nani that what khushi said was right). Once the truth is out there will angst among Gupta's as well. I would to see Arnav win over both families fir their sakes this time. He has a good rapport with G family now. We have seen him manao Buaji recently hopefully indicating that his manaoing powers will be recalled in the near future.

    3. 'So it does seem it was love at first sight for Arnav is it not.'
      Sandy, I've always believed this.

      It was love at first sight. He struggled with this new feeling and hence wanted her out of his life. Destiny took over with that almost- kiss at diwali and he attempted to re-write it. That car convo as he drops her back on the night of his engagement- he is begging her- tell me 'farak padta hai', that you have the same feelings- love was a new concept to her then and she buried it as quicly as he had killed it.

      It was love at first sight, FOR HIM. Only, he took a loooong time to acknowledge it.

    4. I have never been in any doubt about Arnav being in love with Khushi at first sight.....

      That car ride home after engagement....epic scene......

      Delete
    5. Yaar, what are you guys doing?! I don't believe in love at first sight ... it's too superficial for me ... sorriieee :)))

      I will give in and admit that Khushi got under Arnav's skin right from the start ... more than that, I cannot!!! :D
      She got under his skin, he could never ignore her, could never forget her, and there was this overwhelming attraction ... every time they met and she stood up to him, it increased his admiration for her courage and her spunk ... that's what made him fall so deeply for her, and fight it so hard too :)))

      When did Khushi tell Anjali that the best gift a hubby can his wife is a smile?

      I don't think Arnav is a half-brother ... they have shared too many conversations about their mother ... her kangan tinkling when they went to sleep, Arnav's 'don't leave me like Maa did' ...

      I also want Khushi to be wholly and irrevocably in love with both Rajkumar and Shaitan before she finds out about the past ... if they ever plan to bring up the past at all.

      One thing I keep wondering ... BS's movie releases in Jan, he's bound to get more offers after that ... so are the makers thinking that far ahead? Will they bring in the past at all? Or will they just persist with the Didi Ki Saut angle and Shyam?
      Doods brought in a very crazy thought on Redux today ... I first pooh-poohed it as her usual ravings (sorry, that woman puts me off, I've almost stopped reading Redux because of her) ... but then I wondered ...
      She brought in Shyam as being the link from the past and having a revenge motive because he has a half-brother who is the son of Arnav's father and his sister ...
      We were tying up Khushi and the past, but Shyam also has to have a good motive for targeting the Raizada family, and this could fit.

    6. Dia and all - i too do not believe in love at first sight
      Cant think of anything more shallow and woh pyaar hi kya jo sirf ek nazar main ho jayay - after all - you have to 'love' the 'person' not just one thing about the person - like we keep saying - ODG has to love ODB - ASR & Arnav, the whole package!
      so yes he was arrested - but no i cant imagine he fell in love with her - He told the story to NK coz it was needed to set the ball rolling and get the full picture

      Delete
    7. HAHAHA Who said we believe in love at first sight, i said Arnav fell in love wth Khushi at first sight.....is story ke liye bahut zaroori hain...dividing line between love and hate at first sight is very thin...ur take says the same except u say it is about getting under the skin.....

      On Dood's, i read it becos of the tant's title, i thot its abt Rajesh Khanna...then i realised its Redux so IPK ke baare mein hi hoga....also saw the mention of past, hence my interest piqued

      Back to Doods...the angle of didi ki saut in respect of Khushi is the odd angle....why did he pursue Khushi when he did not even know of Arnav's fascination for her...so what past repeating was she talking about, i am not clear....baki sab toh teekh hain.....revenge motto tak toh teekh hain....didi ki saut, not clear..
      Also what's Khushi's link to past or have they forgotten that in the didi ki saut freny?

    8. Dia,

    9. Rekha....i thought Doods was talking bt Shyam's Di and how he wanted to make Khushi Anji's Saut...which fortunately dint happen cause of Arnav....other then that there was no connection....it wud've been any other girl, just that he lost his heart to Khushi and so pursued her....

      this is what i gather from reading her post......that he just wanted that pain for ASR what he went thru cause of ASR's father....

      Delete
    10. Su,

      Thanks for clarifying.....else would have MUed u....LOL

      Shyam could well be but my question is how is it Didi ki saut in respect of history repeating...only after the event not in intent.....he chose to pursue Khushi at a time when Khushi was not even known very well to Arnav or was he antaryami to know that Khushi will hit his intended target...
      Remember one of his dialogues..
      "Achha toh Khushi express Delhi pahunch gayi"
      Such an antaryami that he knew he will put Khushi in Arnav's path and as they say, the rest is history

      Maybe doods intends to say that it ended up being didi ki saut after all....maybe i missed that aspect in her analysis.

      for me an old dialogues stand out as a refrain

      "chotte, aaj apan ne saabhit kiya ki aap apne baap ke hoon hain"
      I will now add
      "Accha toh Khushi express delhi pahunch gayi" by shyam..was it intended to mean something....for the future while being connected to the past
      well its getting curioursier and curioursier in the words of Lewis caroll...

      Delete
    11. Dia i'm a bot confused with this relation... Shyam has a half brother who is the son of arnav's father and his sister.... Presuming HIS SISTER as in shyam's sister and Arnav's father have a son,
      This son cannot be shyam's half brother, would be shyam's nephew. Also it would mean that there was a huge age difference between shyam and his sister as the sister would be old enough to have a relation with Arnav's father some 10 or more years ago and Shyam is now now almost Anji's age.... Also Shyam's sister having a son with Arnav's father, wouldn't it make Anji and Arnav almost shyam's niece and nephew.... Boy that is a complicated relationship. Plus this does not rxplain his obssession for money, i can inderstand shyam might want to destroy Anji and Arnav but taking arnav's money will not destroy them. With Arnav's ability he can earn the money again....

      If we pursue shuam as blast from the past IMO shyam will be somehow related to chacha. Chacha was obssessed with money hence i guess Anji n Arnav were thrown out of sheesh mahal.... Although again one can argue that shyam married Anji before Arnav took over sheesh mahal from his chacha. It might be that shyam and chacha wanted to confiscate arnav's money but obssession grew after sheesh mahal incidence.
      Or shyam might be blast from the past but not a relative just Arnav's father's enemy's son or something....
      OMG not sure if i made any sense.

    12. UJ,
      U r rght ....

      acco to doods, Shyam does not have half-bro....Arnav has a half-bro...Shyam has a nephew...
      Uj, basically this has to be something new..becos it was always shown as Khushi being the link in the past....now this Shyam angle is being projected by Doods....(abt Cvs, i can't say, if it is true, i feel, its a new addition

      Delete
    13. Arey, me too very confused as to how Doods reached this brilliant conclusion! I honestly don't think there is much credence to it ... though I agree with you, UJ, in that Shyam could be a blast from the past, somehow linked to chachaji.

      Nope, Shyam's sister having a relationship with Arnav's father would not make him anything ... especially if the relationship was illegitimate, if his sister landed up being the father's mistress. The kid would be AA's half-brother/sister ... and Shyam would be furious that his sister's life was destroyed. But I find it too farfetched ... they have shown a chachaji at the start, and still not brought him in, why bring in completely new half-brothers and sisters who might or might not exist!

      Linking Shyam with chachaji ... he could be chachaji's son, and close in age to Anjali ... so would he have married his cousin to ruin her and her brother? But Arnav bought over Sheesh Mahal just at the start of the show, and Shyam has been married for three years ... so where is the revenge motif there?

      Sochne ki padi!!! Here we were linking Khushi's mom as having some link with Arnav's dad ... but if Shyam had some revenge motive for originally marrying Anjali, then it's him who has to have some link.

      Alternately he just married Anjali for the money, and NOW he links up with the chachaji for his own revenge ... and finds out Khushi's link to break the ArHi marriage just as the Anjali problems get sorted out and Arhi are on the way to Happily Ever After ...

      Front fron see bhat bhat happens :)))

      Delete
    14. UJ,

      It has to be Scene 1: Arnav is illegitimate son of ANjali's father. U know that day when he told Garima "Main kiseeko Ma nahi bulaa sakta" for some reason it felt as if I already gave that honour to a lady who accepted me and loved me but whom I have now lost forever.

      Nani accepted Arnav because her daughter took him in as her own. And after this Q came up on R&R, I have always wondered in what kind of circumstances would a mother have been made to leave a letter for her son's wife and why?

      Have u also wiindered, Khsuhi brought up th bag (gift) and my first thought was baggage. Then she mentioned teh fur coat with stains and then NK mentioned fridge, alone, masoom and Anjali had eaten too much ice-cream and fallen sick. All speaks of winter or bleakness. (COuld be over connecting but am just thinking aloud here)

      Nani always calls him Di ke laadle not Ma ke laadle. He was enormously attacched to his mum but was she? And is that why Anjali's statement of how if everyone hates teh father, they will hate/find it difficult to love the child struck a chord?

      Did Nani and Anji's mum warm upto him because he was so nice and protective and caring of Anji and because she grew to love him beyond her compelxes as a cripple?

      See I could be totally wrong but its just that mujhe aise laga. I know these are fictional characters but sometimes the human perspective does seem to apply to real life.

      As for Khushi loving him, she already does. She just needs to learn to trust him and understand him better. Arnav had a chance to see Khushi's roots at GH and it helped him understand her better. For Khushi she needs to know a bit about his roots.

      Ladies,
      The car convo I am talking of is Khushi's blastin of Mr. ASR about the instituion of marriage and its sanctity.

      Delete
    15. Dia,
      For the smile bit - check the anniversary video of Anji's when TQ is crying and Khushi as usual is samjhaaoing her. Nani's first experience of how Khushi is more mature than her age. And that was the day Khushi popped out of the closet for Arnav and also dropped her Payal by his poolside. (Hum explainiya the kal waale comment pe - aap padhe nahi :(

      Ok love at first sight - meant attraction at first sight. See that first meeting is shown as the beginning of the romantic track from both their POV )be it Khushi's naadaani convo or Arnav's FB to NK). WHat I am liking about Arnav NK is hat though he is talking to NK, what needs t be done is decided by Arnav. He jsut needs a nudge in teh right direction.

      I already mentioned about the love him warts and all to UJ. She will do that but she needs to compelte her understanding of him and for that she will need to know his roots. I am ok with u saying she loves him all and then past comes up.

      Ok, so u think my idea of half-brother is hogwash - chal theek hai. My explanations are earleir in the comment addressed t UJ. Yes they have conversations about Ma. But always about them thinking of her not what she said about them. For ASR mother is associated with desertion. (we think death os of that gunshot).

      Hmm..linkage to Shyam in Raizada's past from what u girls are telling me - well that would make Shyam a serial planner revenge taker. So far they have shown him to react to a situation or rather take advantage of an opportunity presented to him rather than a proactive villain. So not sure if I am able to relate so much planning with him.
      Plus he has always been after the Raizada wealth.

      Anji's latest FBs about Shyam had her thinking about Shyam saying he has a share in the child, wanting to have the child know him and all that. Somehow I feel she will go the path of I cannot subject another child to not having a father's name as has already happened in the past - hence the feeling of ASR's parentage. He is no obsessed with the name and money part. I can somehow see SHyam amking use of a skeleton in the closet to brainwash Anjali and legally force Arnav to leave RM if it is indeed in Anjali's name.


      As for Khushi's past being linked to Arnav's you never know cos her parents did die in a car accident.

      Monu,
      Meri strict sister, kyun aise vaat laga rahi hai. I have had occasions when I have seen a guy and felt ok not love but attractin at first sight. EVen with people in general there are times when you meet them for teh first time and there is thi sfeeling of raabta. Guess that is what hapened to Arnav.

      Rekha,
      Tu IF ko chhod, mera waala thot bhi hogwash lagaa tujhe kya? See this thot came to ind when we were talking of Kanha being Yashoda'a nandalala though he was Devaki's son. He was duty bound to Devaki but his heartfelt love of a mother was for Yashoda na?

      I was also thinking of why he cannot wish anyone Happy Birthday - because the day of his birth was not a happy occasion?

      D has already written it off but bas mujhe aise laga.

      Aur aise bhi.....any track can be made interesting...it has to have semblamce of logic....tommo, if they say Shyam wanted to make Khushi Didi ki saut....i am ready to buy it becos how can he plan that Arnav will fall in love with Khushi....woh keh rahi thi main...ab samjhi.....

      "Main kiseeko Ma nahi bulaa sakta" :
      “Kyunki meri maa mar chuki hain”: I was a little shocked when this dialogue came out of ASR’s mouth. Agreed he was fuming when he said it, but shouldn’t he have said, “meri maa ab nahi hain” or “guzar chuki hain”? Just adding to the confusion?
      I still believe they have the same parents. There is no regret when he looks at the stars.
      Also, has ASR ever spoken badly about his dad?

      For all you know, nani might have MU-ed her son-in -law(Raizada gene main MU likhaa hain)and that MU may have been engineered by evil chacha.

      while ASR has never spoken abt his father.....i distinctly recall one aspect...for him marriage is for keeps....he asked this of Akash....and now when he talks about Khushi, i found the same thing..."zindagee saath bithani hain hamesha hamesha" soemhow, i always thot it had to do with his father forsaking his mom and that is a raw wound

    21. Might as well give you the full blast now.


      Rekha, that dialogue of nani’s: Pyaar shaadi shuda Zindagi ko barbad karta hain:

      Understandable, if she was talking of extra marital love.
      If not, maybe her daughter had a love marriage which she did not approve of in the beginning and it was all the more easier to MU her damaat after that.

    22. Going by Sandy's point above,
      I am starting to wonder about this "Didi" being an important part of his life......

      In the movies, they have a tendency to show non-blood relations going thru rite of passage, as it were, to become "worthy" of blood bonds...sounds silly, i know but thats how they tend to show...a kind of agniparikhsha that the adopted go thru.....
      in that vein, am wondering if Arnav is soemthing like that...pata nahin.....can't process

    23. I hope I got at least this right. Khushi said she was 8 years old when her parents died.
      ASR would’ve been 17-18 then when Anji’s marriage drama happened. Does this mean both their parents died in Lucknow around the same time?

    27. Rekha,

      All I meant is Dia thinks my idea of Arnav being Anjali's half brother is not so happening - so hogwash.

      FOr me Shyam being linked to Arnav's past as per what DIa and u mentioned from IF, makes him a planner which I feel he is not. He is more an opportunist and reactor who is smart enough to handle sitautions.

      Sorry but I was not one to see from the star - so not sure about when Shyam mentions about Lucknow express delhi pahunch gayi.

      Like u said, there are many ways to connect a story lets see what they do with this one.


      Su,
      ASR never mentions his dad. He does nto look upto the man is the feeling I get. About Ma, he softens when Anjali mentions her, when it is time for their parents shrad, he totally goes into a shell and somehow the day is too painful for him.

      When Khushi tried to tell him what it feels like to not have parents, he had burst at her saying "Do you know how it feels to light the pyre of your mother with your own hands" Again no mention of the father.

      Delete
    28. Yeah Su,

      All logic points to that only but idhar kuch bharosa nahin....

    31. Sandy, for Arnav to be a half-brother, only two possibilities based on probability...
      Same mother diff father
      or Same father diff mother...

      The first option sounds very diffi in our scenario...
      Second option, as u said is possible ....but their links whenever mentioned due to nani are more to the same woman from all their accounts so far....u can have the scenario u mentioned but very far-fetched and diffi to show in flashbacks, they should introduced this in some form before.....then more acceptable...just my thot.....

    32. RUnning away a bit more with my ASR is Anji's half brother fundaa..


      SU,

      On that nani waals dialogue of how love complicates matters cannot help but think of the movie Main Tulsi Tere Angan Ki.

      Anjali said when you spoke ur first words, there was no one else in that room but me. Well it could be his first words as a baby or his first words spoken as he comes out of a shock. Seen the movie Mission Kashmir and the child Sanjay Dutt brings home and how he bonds with the lady and inadvertenyly helps plan an act that results in her death.

      Rekha,
      Di being his duniya his world - she embraced him when he was shunned. Besides Nani when explaining to Khushi also says aur chotey thehre Di ke laadle.

      Arnav always talks of choti aukaad ki ladki to Khushi and that greed for money. It is almost like SRK 's disdain for courtesan's in Devdas.

      Another reason being Khsuhi and Arnav then are like the Voldemort and Harry connection - after all it was the half blood Harry that Voldemort chose to mark and not the pure blood Neville while pure blood status was so important to him.

      And is this is true then both Khushi and Arnav got adopted into families. And how they turned out differently basis their upbringing. The Devaki -Yashoda paradox - for giving birth alone is not enough, parvarrish is an equally important factor in deiding how a person turns out.


      Anyways kuch dinon main anyways pata chal jaayega..toh tab tak arnav khushi romance enjoy maarte hain.

    35. So mother commits suicide in the sudden shock of a scandal- K’s parents die around the same time- evil chacha engineered a MU there?
      Khushi comes to live with her mother’s siter- where are her father’s relatives? Does she have an angry chacha who will come back from jail to take revenge on the Maliks? Bheja fryyyy….

    36. Sandy,

      maybe Arnav's first words were not as a toddler, much later....maybe he was nursed, nurtured.......
      The thing that struck me when i saw Arnav jr FB ballon FB, i thot why does he not utter a word in anger....now ur thot seems interesting....

    37. See, Khushi is supposed to be Garima's sister's daughter but they have never said this in the serial.....they only said that in some early intros on sites...
      But they did mention that Garima is a woman who has faced a lot in the past and she values honour above everything else....due to a past dark event

      Delete
    38. parvarrish: K has turned out like this because of her parentage. Her adoptive family does not really understand her.

      Sandy,
      Anji's dialogue: It really sounds like she is talking about a baby ASR. Not a lost child brought home.

    41. Rekha,
      Buaji is Payal's father's sister. So I guess Khushi is Garima's sister's daughter.

    42. Rekhs,

      It will have to be same father, diff moms if this scenario comes true. Hmm agree the Nani angle maybe tricky but somehow I see a softening in Nani for Arnav post his confession to her about Shyam and a mention of his marriage to Khushi. And it was teh first time yday that she mentioned she made something that chotey liked.

      I know thoda too much ho gaya naa on the upbringing bit. So lets see what IPK and co come up with.

    43. OK now we know of Arhi's maternal side. Looking forward to the paternal family history now. Looking forward to see evil chacha and angry chacha in action!!!.

      Delete
    44. Rekha,

      I recall this character sketch about Garima. Whether they adhere to it is to be seen. That is why like Dia said we all were thinking of Khushi being related to Arnav's past thru her mother or Garima. But none of the Raizadas have shown any recognition of Garima or vice versa so perhaps that line of thought wne the way of the Dhruv character. We now have NK :)


      Su,
      We shall agree to disagree :)
      Plus like I already said, for all I know the writer may have something else altogether in mind.

    45. Rekha,

      It would also make sense on why Arnav vowed to buy Sheesh Mahal in Di's name - because it was her inheritance.

    50. Oye girls, why the sorry's ... carry on!

      Am still skeptical about the half-brother funda though ...

      Sandy, he might have bought Sheesh Mahal for Di for because he felt it's her inheritance as she is the older child, or that it means more to her being their childhood home, while he has supposed to be more cynical and less emotional about these things ... or that it was earmarked for the daughter while Shantivan was always the Malik main home ... we presumed this is Nani's home, but in one of Anjali and Arnav's arguments about Khushi, Arnav says very clearly, 'this is MY house,' and Anjali gets all sad and goes off to the temple ...

      Or Sheesh Mahal was their house, and he bought Shantivan with his new wealth ...

      Almost 200, and time for episode ... we continue in new post :)

  31. “Kaun hai yeh, Shaitaan ya Raajkumar?”

    A question Khushi asked ages back in GH after Preeto’s wedding. She had witnessed a different face of ASR that night. Till then it was “Apne di ke liye itna pyar aur hamaare liye?”. That day she saw that ASR was not as self-centered as she thought.She realized that SHE was the only one always at the receiving end of his unkindness. She had resolved to find the root cause for this hatred.
    And she came to the conclusion that Lavanya was the motive behind their marriage, which set the whole suicide drama and MU confrontation into motion.

    Hasn’t she found the answer to her question?
    Doesn’t she know by now that he loves her?
    “Shaitan bhi yeh, Raajkumar bhi yeh”- doesn’t she know this?
    Isn’t that what Arhipathy was all about?
    Doesn’t she know what brings out the shaitaan in him?

    Does she know the steadfastness with which he loves her back?

    *Sigh* Some more insights….. please…..we need to get into the head of our heroine. She might get MU-ed by fandom otherwise.

    1. Su,

      She knows he loves her, yes ... but has she seen any of his steadfastness yet? Every single time he got close to her, he backtracked and followed it up with hatred, without giving her a chance to talk.
      After they came back from the kidnapping, her stood up for her, trusted her word against Shyam and threw him out, even told Nani that it was all Shyam's fault and he made a mistake not to trust Khushi.
      And the moment Di got upset, he blasted Khushi, telling her it was her fault, she led Shyam on, if she hadn't been there, none of this would have happened, Di would have been happy ...
      And when he returned and apologised for all that, he never said that he was wrong, that she had done nothing of the sort ... he said he never meant to SAY that, he didn't WANT to say it ... a big difference. She's hurt that he could think it's her fault at all, she feels that he does think she is at fault to some extent, and as it is she's feeling bad that everyone else is unhappy with her, and he added to the load.

      And finally ... she is exerting her right as a wife to be angry, and to complain ... earlier, she only complained to Devi Maiyya, but now she can play roothi hui biwi with him for a little while to show her hurt, can't she? Does she have to forgive him and melt into his arms so quickly? Let him work for it for once ... as it is, she has forgiven him for everything else he has done to her without a murmur ... but this was the first time after they acknowledged their love and the 'atoot vishwas' bit, and then he promptly turned and accused her again. The guy has to stick by what he said for a bit longer ... and he's finally trying to control his temper now, let him work at it!

    2. But Dia,
      This is what I didn't understand.

      "she is exerting her right as a wife to be angry"-
      She said very clearly to Devi Maiya: "Hum unse naraaz bhi nahi hain"
      She is not angry!

      And all through that DMconvo, never once did she mention that he brought up the contract.

      I am not saying that she should forgive, but she says that she is just not angry with him.

    3. Absolutely.....

      The only thing that i really want,(my wishes are never fulfilled, becos i ask for the stupidest things) if they ever show Khushi go away to GH, she does not leave him in any doubt why.....no mu there please.....let Arnav be helpless for whatever reason (that Anji is reason enuf) but NO MU.
      I have had enuf of MUs to last me a life time....so petrified of MUs that i go about explaining everything in my real too...my daughter has already told me more than once..."haan mamma, we got what u r saying, no need to clarify"

  33. Listening to Rajesh Khanna songs....my all time RK fav is "Amar Prem" (a movie that best described platonic love) and "baharon ke sapne"

    a song from Amar prem....

    chingari koi bhadke
    to saawan usse bujhaaye

    saawan jo agan lagaaye
    usse kaun bujhaaye ho,
    usse kaun bujhaaye

    patjhar jo baagh ujaade
    wo baagh bahaar khilaaye
    jo baagh bahaar mein ujde
    usse kaun khilaaye ho,
    usse kaun khilaaye


    humse mat poocho kaise
    mandir toota sapno ka
    logon ki baat nahi hai
    ye kissahai apno ka

    koi dushman thes lagaaye
    to meet jiya behlaaye
    manmeet jo ghaav lagaaye
    usse kaun mitaaye….


    na jaane kya ho jaata
    jaane hum kya kar jaate
    peete hain to zinda hain
    na peete to marr jaate

    duniya jo pyaasa rakhe
    to madira pyaas bujhaaye
    madira jo pyaas lagaaye
    usse kaun bujhaaye ho,
    usse kaun bujhaaye

    maana toofan ke aage
    nahi chalta zor kisika
    maana toofan ke aage
    nahi chalta zor kisika
    maujon ka dosh nahi hai
    ye dosh hai aur kisi ka

    majdhaar mein naiya dole
    to maajhi paar lagaaye
    maajhi jo naav duboye
    usse kaun bachaaye

      Amar Prem has some of the most beautiful numbers ... this is one of my husband's and my ultimate favorites ... so many Kishore Kr numbers qualify for that though!

      Another one I love ... from the same movie

      Raina beeti jaye
      Shyam na aaye
      Nindiya na aaye
      Raina beeti jaaye

      Shyam ko bhoola Shyam ka vaada
      Sang diye ke jaagi Radha
      Nindiya na aaye

      Kis sautan ne roki dagariya
      Kis bairan se laagi nazariya
      Nindiya naa aaye

      Briha ki maari prem diwani
      Tan man pyaasa ankhiyon mein paani
      Nindiya naa aaye

      Raina beeti jaaye

      Babumoshaai..!!
      Dukh apne liye rakh, anand sabke liye

      For the evnts unfolding at RM, the lines which keep comign back to me are:
      "Door se hi sagar jise har koi maane
      Pani hai woh ya reth hai yeh kaun jaane
      Jaise ke din se rain alag hai
      Sukh hai alag hai aur chain alag hai
      Per yeh jo dekhe woh nain alag hai

      Chain to apna sukh hai paraye

      Sapno se bhare naina
      To neend hai chaina"
