23/8 - Epi 326 ... A Mother's Heart

Thursday 23rd August

You don't have to give birth to a child to feel a mother's pain, a mother's love, a mother's heart.

And every mother was once a young girl who laughed, loved and made mistakes ... but when those mistakes threaten to rebound on her child, it's the mother's heart which bleeds the most.

Another name for mother ... sacrifice. For a mother, her child always comes first.
Who is the mother here? The one who is waiting to give birth to her child, her own flesh and blood? Eating tainted medicines (unknowingly maybe) ... lying about her physical well-being to her dear ones, who worry about her constantly?

Or the woman who has looked after an orphan child as her own, and another motherless child equally too? Not having given birth to either, yet always putting their lives, their happiness ahead of her own? Garima put Payal's happiness ahead of Khushi's once ... her step-daughter, unrelated by blood, ahead of her own blood, for Khushi is her own niece. And now she is desperate that her past, her 'mistake' should not come forward and spoil her daughter's present and future. Even if she has to lie again, has to miss the important function of that daughter's life, break her daughter's heart as well as her own ... but to ensure that girl's happiness.

    The last scene honestly brought tears to my eyes it was such a sweet scene between a daughter and a woman who loves her as much or even more than her mother..,

    Very sweet...

    1. ditto Gargi, me too loved that scene....

      Why is DD disgusted at the mention of Mehendi, when she was ok with meeting Khushi at the temple....
      was she hoping that temple meeting wud stop the wedding but since tht dint happen, so she is irritated ?

    2. Gargi Dadis expressions were priceless :D :D

      Khushi has a tough competitor at hugging now ... Garimas hug was pretty awesome I must say !!!

      There could not have been an ArHi scene today ... zabardasti daal dete and we would have gone ... What the !! Karna hai toh thik se karo ... Good !

    3. Gargi, Sama: Ditto, After the first break realized he will not be shown today..and I continued to enjoy the episode. Very emotional one.

      Sama: Ya zabardasti daaltay toh pit jaathay humsay.

    1. i felt teary eyed too..

      that one moment when khushi said that "you are my only family.. and you are leaving me.." suddenly i feel that khushi has accepted that she has no one to call her own.. she has experienced that moment of total abandonment before.. so she is accepting this situation as something to be expected.. somehow i felt that here, she accepted herself as "parayi" ..

      but the bua, who used to fill her head with 'unwanted' comments, does an about-face. "cant you see this mountain-like person in front of you?" was really unexpected- and welcome- from my POV.

    2. i think its buajis guilt which has changed her .... ever since the shyaam fiasco she has been there supporting khushi (except for the marriage which had its genuine reasons) though cvs never gave even a moment over this issue.

      I was totally expecting it. Actually I felt a bit bad for buaji when Khushi said I have noone and loved it when buaji came up with "pahad jesi" comment.

  3. Girls, just wanted to check with u all....there are some 30 odd comment spaces available in previous post epi 325, do we go back there or continue here and go back if this post exceeds 200 comments..

    Loved the epi for the GH scenes...brought a lump to my throat...have to feel for Garima, Khushi, Shashi Bua....

    1. Rekha we will exceed 30 comments so better continue here itself :D :D

      Absolutely loved GH scenes .... Shashi had to be in this with Garima otherwise the whole Garima issue was sounding very flimsy. Now I have no issues of her running away. She wants her daughter to be happy. This also gives me hope that Arnav-Khushis past has nothing such that will makes Khushi face any harm at Malliks hand aur rather Dadis .... she is counting on Arnav big time ... So she definitely know more about him that is giving her so much confidence. And I liked the justification of not delaying marriage ... already so much have happened lets not give any time for anyother unhoni.

  4. Hahahahahaha ... Dadi covers her ears at Manoroma Mamis shrill talks !!

    I loved Babuji-Garima scene, the way they were holding hands, beautifully done. Shashi knows everything ... Garima lied about something she din't want to ... What?!

    Dadi got Shyaams mobile ... it seems like Dadi-Shyaam is not in it together ... That makes her entry so damn stupid. Or maybe we are in surprise tomorrow ..... they always answer after we raise Qs. Usse pehle maza nahi ata unhe.

    Next week mehendi and godh bharai ... please can they NOT rush it like rokha .... PLEASE !!!!!!

    So they shot this just 2 days back when Barun was on leave for his Bday ... it din't need his presence though in any scene. He could have gone "Di aap apka khayal nahi raktin" and all panicky just to get a jab from Dadi about "koun rakkega agar aap mandir mein ghumenge toh". Acha huwa he was not there.

    Why isn't he moving out of the house through poolside passage way today??? ... Always thought that was the escape and entry route. Or is it that ArHi bedroom for once is closed. If so shabash Arnav bitwa ... kuch toh baccha seek rahe ho !! Bohut kaam ayega :D :D :D

      yes Geeta thats what ... Garima-Shashi Q that popped up last week was answered this week so it will be clear by tomorrow or next week whether or not Dadi-Shyaam is involved.

      Today I don't want to go out of R&R .... I liked the epi and don't want to go through all how they are not delivering issues as there was no ArHi scenes at all.

      So doctor asked Anjali to stop taking those medicines .... will this add up to shyaams failed plans as always :)))))))))))

    3. Where was the need for Arnav today...arre he has to do some work also to ensure that his sister can lose more ccards..

      btw VLR was in nani room, so poolside access nahi hoga...

    4. IT Was Barun's day off for his birthday. though when Akash mentioned Kaam..I immediately thought of Haircut.

      Why isnt he cutting his hair. Some religious reasons, any punjabi sikh care to elaborate?

      He had no problems sporting a short hair earlier, ab kya hua, lost interest in playing ASR?

      For a guy who worked so hard to get ASR in terms of looks and body language right*sigh*, i will shut up now.

    5. Shwetha,
      My ideas on Barun not getting a haircut now.
      Some rona dhona is coming up. After all that may be he will get it cut and look fresh and handsome again.

    6. Su, you mean the middle of the car breakdown...He does the acting or his hair, grrrrrrrrrrr

    7. Su, i have been waiting for that haircut for a long time.. the last time we were hankering for a haircut, the terrace suicide/revelation/accusation happened.. so i guess it is true that he likes his hair long for intense scenes.

      BTW i think the diwali haircut is too short.. he has to look 28, not 18. yes, he looked edibly adorable in the diwali week... khushi's dreams of an autowalla and dhobi made it all the more clear.. but me personally like him a little more grown up, with a bit longer hair, like the original mehendi episode.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKJDyg55oBo

    8. Me too .... Me no likes military stuffs .... it makes his ear look big ... a bit longer makes it perfect :D

      Kidnapping phase was good too. Even without hair gel his hair was manageable.

    9. Hi5 on that Jaya!!i liked him during the diwali week..but Barun does tend to look much younger than his age..i want the mehendi look!! don't get why he doesnt like getting a haircut..

  5. short update guys....

    Anji-Shyam continuing the convo, Shyam makes her take the tablet again...

    Raizada's reach the main door, and lo-behold, they actually ring the bell :P

    Anji-Shyam all tensed, Shyam runs upstairs to hide and hide he does in Dadi's room

    Payal has the spare keys so they open the door, while anji was on her way to the door....

    Dadi notices two tea cups and asks Anji, she lies left right and center....and when payal ask a bit in details, she pretends to be ill...waah Anji tussi Mahaan ho...

    Garima talks to Shashi, he knows bt her past, she wants to leave, he consents....

    they convince khushi n buaji, saying there is a camp outside lucknow by a famous doctor.....
    (lovely scene girls, dont miss it)

    in RM they call the doctor who says Anji is still weak, and changes the tablet (buahahahahaa) want to see Shys face now :P

    Shy is stuck in Dadi's room, lost his phone in the chaos, and Dadi finds it....

    4. rajhma *rofl*

      i thought of cadbury pops when shyaam changed them.

      Geeta tell me about it. I was fuming ...she is so going to use it against chote too at the very first signal she gets from her KP. Chalo ek good thing toh huwa ....cvs have taken time out from making khushi lie all the time to jump from tracks to track. She is slowly coming around to her old self. Yes I have hopes ....they have to they must if they want to run IPK for few more years. This time all these lies/hiding at least seems to have some kind of head and tail.

      Man Anjali is in for a lot of nasty reality check. I don't see Nani supporting her this time. She will defintely be with Chote who gave up his childhood taking care and making life perfect for his Di.

      And can I say I very very much like this Payal Bahu ...she is the Bahu form of the Jeeji we know.

    5. i second ur thoughts Sama .....Anji deserves a KP like Shyam, till yesterday i wanted to see some reason that she is blindly in love....but what she did today, was too much...

    6. Geetu,
      "felt real angry today when she faked ill-health to avoid Payal's question....": small manipulations- expected from Anji.She has always believed in white lies. You WILL hate her more when she puts her foot down to get Shyam back. I am not going there.

      Didn't Garima also FAKE something here? Didn't she use her husband's illness as an EXCUSE when she wanted to run away from dadi. I found that shocking, because I didn't expect Amma to do that.

      I feel these two will land Khushi in a real big soup.

    7. You know that song, payal may bandhan hai they played on roka...the only line that I remembered was Payal nay machaya shor and look what happened today lol.

    8. Yeah Su, I agree for her its small white lie...problem is that we know the whole truth, so it really boils the blood :P

      Also agree bt Garima, she is more bt burying the truth, even when Shyam's truth was out, she was one of the imp factor affecting Khushi's thought process...that also landed Khushi in the mess, making her look as a home-wrecker..

  6. Pyomari Mehta (Sorry If I got the Spelling wrong) You rocked today

    I absolutely loved the episode today

    Compare and Contrast:

    A mother who went out of her way to put her unborn child's life and future in danger by believing the devil.

    A mother who went out of her way to sacrifice everything just so her two daughters whom she did not give birth to, can have have the happiness she thinks they deserve.

    A father who has no qualms in putting his unborn child' s life in danger.

    A father who has ensured that his daughters, one his own and one adopted are always safe and secure.

    It was an emotionally moving episode and it worked big time.............for me.

    We got more today:

    Khushi we fell in love with.

    (Can someone tone down Sanaya's make up just a little bit and can everyone in the IPK team pay attention to the cut and past eyesore dresses she is made to wear)

    Akash finally made a phone call that went through

    The Doctor who I remember quite well from last time made an appearance too. Kudos to that actress who actually looked and spoke like a doctor and not the typically serial-ish doctors we see. ( 4 Lions, you guys alwalys get the casting right, don't you?)

    Dadi sees the phone, so will she be the first one to meet Shyam and know that Anjali has been secretly meeting her MIA Damaadji?

    Nani & Mami excited about Mehendi cum Godbharai, good to see.

    Buaji and Shashiji were fabulous.

    Overall a fanastic episode.

    5. 'A mother who went out of her way to sacrifice everything':
      Shwetha, nahi yaar. 'WHAT DID SHE SACRIFICE?'
      May be I need to rewatch the epi.Since I am the only one who felt Garima is 'running away' from the problem.

      Rekha, You are right about PM- she is a fab actress. May be that is why I really don't mind Garima even though I felt she did not do the right thing.
      I caught a YT on the initial epis. Did they change Garima's character a bit from then on?
      There she seemed to be more strong and a little harsh (Payal's wedding), maybe.I felt they changed her in to this lamb person and gave away the harshness to Buaji.
      Was Buaji there for that wedding in Lucknow? Do correct me here, I may be totally wrong.

    7. Shwethu,
      Have watched only the first half of the episode yet ... internet at the hotel sucks!!! But I have to say I love your take, it was so similar to my thoughts ... especially the compare and contrast between the two mothers here.

      Writing my analysis on Anjali will take forever, and I don't have the time right now ... but interestingly, if you go through my takes on last year's episodes around Raksha Bandhan, when Anjali was completely saccharine sweet, with NO hint of grey, I had mentioned a few times that Anjali is manipulative and can be dangerous.

      I don't think Shyam is trying to kill the baby ... he's too smart for that. Anjali's continued pregnancy and then the baby are his ticket back into Shantivan. More likely he is trying to time the delivery of Anjali to disrupt the wedding - his primary goal is to prevent the Arnav-Khushi wedding. He first tried to do it by creating MU between ArHi, since he knew they were already falling in love during the Payash wedding functions - so he told Arnav that he and Khushi were having an affair ... that failed spectacularly. Arnav forced Khushi into marriage.

      Then he got a second chance - he got to know about the forced wedding, saw that they were not sleeping together, it was not a real marriage, and believed - mistakenly - that the circumstances he had created between ArHi by lying to Arnav about his affair with Khushi were enough to ensure that the hate would last forever and would overcome the love. But ArHi got over their MU's and fell even deeper in love during the kidnapping, which he completely miscalculated, when Khushi played him along like a puppet by feeding his ego that he had won and she actually hated Arnav. He never realised that Arnav would believe in Khushi's word ... till the time Arnav left for the airport, Khushi was begging Shyam to tell Arnav the truth, as she thought - and thus so did Shyam - that Arnav would believe him over Khushi. He did not know how things changed during that time for Arnav - how could he? We the viewers also didn't know why Arnav changed :D

      End result - Arnav believed Khushi, threw Shyam out, and placed Khushi at same level as Anjali.

      Delete
    8. contd ...
      Anjali angry with Khushi, wants Shyam back. Arnav refuses point-blank, and the next thing Anjali sees is that instead of pandering to his heart-broken shattered Di day and night, Arnav is instead planning a birthday surprise for Khushi the very next day.
      Am sure Shyam got news of this if not immediately, then very soon after, and realised that the ArHi bond is pretty much unbreakable, so setting Anjali against Khushi will only strain the Arnav-Anjali bond, and will not affect the Arnav Khushi one in the slightest. Hence Anjali's change of heart towards Khushi ... I would think Shyam started sweet-talking her around this time, telling her that Khushiji has MU'ed him, it was all a big mistake. So first sweetened Anjali towards Khushi, that will re-set the Arnav-Anjali bond ... and that is first priority.

      Dadi was a boon for Shyam ... am sure he was instrumental anonymously in getting her out of the ashram. But again he failed ... he expected Arnav would refuse to re-marry Khushi, Khushi would be shamed for living for six months with a man, and Dadi would throw her out - even Nani and Anjali would support Dadi on that. Which they did. But Arnav threw a googly, he was prepared to do even a full ritual-filled re-marriage for Khushi. Shyam failed again.

      Shyam's next throw of dice ... delay/postpone the wedding by making Anjali go into labour at the opportune moment ... and those are probably the pills he is giving her. After the delivery, Anjali can be further manipulated into weeping about her father-less baby and he can try to worm his way back in ... but his purpose of stalling the wedding would be fulfilled.

      And I don't think it's for any convoluted reason like sister's revenge and other such ... it's for the simple reason that Anjali is Arnav's sole heir. Once Arnav gets married and has his own family, his wife and children are his heirs ... Anjali gets only a part of his fortune, and probably not major part either. Shyam's motivation is, and has always been greed. Khushi was his one mistake ... he fell for her and forgot the money angle for a bit, then remembered it and wanted first to have both money and girl, then to kill Anjali, and finally to make Anjali the heir and kill Arnav. All epic fails so far ... which makes me feel that the ArHi wedding will also happen right on time ... but Anjali will go into labour in time to delay the SR.

      Delete
    9. Finally finished watching the episode, and I loved it ... especially the GH scenes ... all three, the first Shashi-Garima scene, then SGB-Khushi, and finally the last Garima-Khushi scene ... all were so beautiful.
      (I actually didn't mind the Shyam-Anjali scenes either ... left me free to dislike Anjali even more than I did earlier - pot calling the kettle black indeed ... she herself wants to spend time with her KP, and connives to do so ... and is most annoyed when her brother dear chooses to do the same! It's your brother's house, woman - go and get cozy with your KP in his own hut! But no, she doesn't want to leave her palace where she is Queen Bee, does she? Wants to have her cake and eat it too!)

      What is Garima running away from?
      Two things she said ... hamari ki hui bhool aaj hamare saamne hai.
      And ... hum tab bhi jhoot nahin bolna chahte the, aur aaj bhi nahin ...

      Till Garima's truth comes out fully, cannot really comment whether she is justified or not in running to Lucknow, but obviously she feels that the marriage stands a very strong chance of being cancelled if she comes in front of Dadi ... as it is, Dadi is looking for the slightest excuse to cancel it.
      Which makes me feel that probably Garima was framed as being the other woman, and circumstances were such that she had to lie about it ... obviously if Dadi thinks she was the other woman, even Arnav will not hesitate to cancel the wedding, as he won't marry the daughter/niece of the woman who caused his mother's suicide.

      Whereas if she is absent, Arnav is strong enough to over-rule Dadi and make sure the wedding goes ahead, and later she can tell Khushi the truth. Dadi being so hell-bent on seeing her face means that she has not forgotten Garima, and is looking for any excuse to create some drama and get the wedding cancelled. After the wedding is well and truly done with, then Garima stands a better chance of speaking to Khushi and Arnav quietly and telling them, or at least Khushi, the truth.

      Also from Dadi's expressions about the mehndi being combined with the godh bharayi, she wasn't pleased at all ... she wanted a reason to call in damaadji, and she could have insisted in a ladies function, but now that it is a mehndi, Arnav will be very much around, and she might have trouble asking for damaadji. Or maybe she just made a face because she doesn't like Khushi, and she doesn't her to share the limelight with Anjali ...
      Which we understand Dadi ... WE don't like Anjali, and we don't want Khushi to have to share her limelight with that sorry excuse for a woman either !!! :)))

    10. Rekhs: Ditto, I was so sure garima past thing will not happen cos of this actress, but ever since the Khushi slap..Kya yeh baat sach hai khushi, She has not turned back, WOW!!

      Dia: Yippppppppe, you changed your flower and good to see you, hope you are having a good time.

      I remember your line, Too much rasam, pooja obsessed, Get a life woman*rofl*

      Su: *hugs bey*Garima is the Mausi of Khushi right. She brought her up. She could have easily given up for adoption or abandoned the kids like the Malliks did, she did not.

      She married Shashi and brought up both Payal and Khushi and chose not to have her own children..She is a mother of two daughters she never gave birth to.

      I know chose to not to have her own kid is a bit vague, it could be cos of financial medical or whatever condition, ultimately what matters is this, she has been the Amma, a word we all say it with so much love and affection.

      Compare it with Anjali or even Arnav's mom...yes we do not have the full details yet, but Anjali after her own bro has told her her GFN hubby tried to kill him choses to disbelieve him. Arnav's mom commits suicide on her daugther's marriage.

      Is her running away from the truth correct, NO. But whatever secret she is hiding, she knows it will wreck the married life of Payal and Khushi.

      Compare it with Anjali who is running away from the truth just so her bubble world remains intact.

      They changed the actress Su, so slight variations in character according to the actress have been made, I think they are keeping the essence intact.

      @Shyam : I feel whatever tablets even if it is not that harmful, you never know she might go into premature labor, for me he is risking the life of the child by giving her wrong medicines.

    11. Dia on Arnav over ruling Dadi on Shyam, not gonna happen this time.

      Remember what she said, ALL family members should take care of her. Was she referring to Damaadji or her bro who according to her is too busy enjoying a momentous occassion and spending some time with the woman he loves.

      Rest Ditto.

    12. Su Garima back then was harsh because it was right after Payals marriage fiasco which immediately followed video footage trauma. After that she had been very normal actually. Worrying worrying like mothers usually do.

      Post marriage there had been no proper execution to any of the characters actually. So it may seem out of order.

  7. I am a teenager spending a few days with my grandmother
    . I saw her crying after watching yesterday's episode
    .AND this is what she said to me that there may or may not be any real Khushi in the world but ASR is almost like my late grandfather who though outwardly
    Not religious or ritualistic lived his life according to the principles of the Holy Gita I.e DO YOUR DUTY WITHOUT EXPECTATION OF ANY REWARD.
    my GM is ritualistic and has her pooja room and does her pooja to her umpteen murtis daily .My GF never stopped her and she never , in their married life of over five decades, ask him to join YET he always knew when his presence will be waned , not required, and was there for my GM. My GM also told me that in their years together she probably
    Had him accompany her to a temple NOT more than five or six times. In over fifty years.She found ASR like him and was crying at her loneliness. I saw this blog for the first time while surfing and just thought of writing. Hope u ladies don't mind my butting in .i just felt like writing about my g
    Gparents.

      never knew earlier that we can find resonance in real life watching reel life.....becos much of it is very dramatic, too larger than life....but IPK has many believable characters that one can relate to....

      Esp, the way they have handled the track on beliefs without getting preachy....it was a nice touch....

    2. Hi Anon, welcome here ...
      Am very irregular here these days because I am travelling, but had to log in to say this ... ASR's belief are identical to my own father's beliefs too ... he was exactly the same. My mother is more religious and devout, she is very regular in her daily pooja, although she isn't ritualistic as such, but my father was not a believer in rituals at all ... a true Karmayogi ... believed in doing his duty, being kind and truthful and hard-working, and not visiting of temples etc. He barely went to any temples in his life, unless it was for their architectural and historical splendour. Yet he NEVER ever stopped my mother from doing her poojas, and was always there for her whenever he was required, with a smile and a few side remarks ...
      My brother is his carbon copy ... he will do whatever is required of him without a murmur, even though he himself doesn't believe in rituals at all. So I can relate to ASR's beliefs as well, and also relate very easily to his being there for Khushi in hers ...

      My main crib earlier when Arnav agreed to the pheras and ritualistic wedding was that he was doing it on Dadi's say so, because she said Khushi could not live in RM as his wife, as they had not had the pheras.

      NOW Arnav is doing all the rituals because Khushi wants them, even though he himself doesn't believe in them ... but it's what she wants, and it will make her happy. My mother has the same philosophy in life - if something you do doesn't matter to you one way or the other, but it will make someone dear to you happy, then why not do it ... unless of course it goes AGAINST your own belief- that's a different matter.

      DUMBO both in reel and real. Real more than reel. Reel she is taking full advantage of Chotes/familys love and money. Real mein toh kuch achieve nahi kiya ..... lost her chances to good roles in future too.

  11. I have to admit to shedding tears at the scene in GH.
    I am pleased that amma is not,the only one that knows the secret of the past. At least she is not alone in this. Poor Khushi again with no one but then who comes to support her. Loved the interplay with Khushi/Buiji. She will support Khushi and hopefully with Arnav deflect the wicked DD's snipes and barbes. How I dislike that women.
    Aji is just disrespectful and deserves to be with her precious husband somewhere else, not being cherished by her brother and family. She is certainly biting off the hand that really feeds her and I for one can't wait for her to be found out. All in all I liked the episode even without an appearance by Anav as her really wasn't needed.

  12. One kosten: Who should I be more angry with?
    The dumb ostrich or the runaway deer(I am so bugged today, I might end up calling Garima a goat!)?

    Since the ostrich is a dumbass, what can I say? Can she get dumber?
    Why did great Amma tell DM on tuesday, “humein Khushi ko sab batana chahiye “ and today run away from the problem with a white lie? Unbelievable! Thanks, Mona, you had warned me yesterday, so I half expected it. Even then, *head desk*
    And Amma can act so well too- “Khushi tum samajhti ho na”!
    What? That you are deserting her because you can’t face the mistake YOU did years ago head on? Yes. Yes. ‘I am doing all this for my daughters.’
    “What will I do. Already I married one daughter in to this house. How can I send Khushi too in to THAT house?”: When she said this, I thought she meant dadi had MU-ed or harassed her in the past.
    But, “the mistake I committed years back- even then I was FORCED to say it”: does this mean someone else forced her to say some untruth or half truth.

    And now Khushi is in love with dadi’s grand son. What do you do?
    TELL KHUSHI AND ASR ABOUT YOUR DARK PAST OR UGLY TRUTH OR WHATEVER!
    If it was a mistake, own up now!
    Now you are running away, Amma- leaving Khushi to face dadi’s wrath alone when the secret is out.

    Isn’t it more sensible to let Arnav know about everything before the wedding?
    Kya, dhoke mein shaadi karaayegi, apni beti ki? Tut tut!

    Poor Khushi will end up paying for ostrich’s dumbass-ness and goat’s runaway attitude.
    Why does SHE have to pay for their mistakes???
    Sorry.I am ranting. May be some miracle will happen and Garima will come to her senses and the truth will come out before she manages to escape to Lucknow.

    From yesterday, I felt Garima may not have been ‘the other woman’. She was talking about her ‘saying something then’. At least the story moved yesterday, albeit at a snail’s pace.

      We still don't what the past is, I doubt the writers do, they are more likely stalking IF & R&R for some ideas that they can bring their own twist to.

      She is worried about the ripple effect on Payal and Khushi.

      She will have to face the truth eventually and I think Arnav will support her in this one apart from her own family.

      Ofcourse she will. She reach the heights or depths of Dumbness you have never even fathomed...EVERRRRRR!!

    5. Dia, that's one my favorite movies....

      Su, Shwetha : doesnt that come across as Garima's nature....even when Shyam's truth was out to Gupta's, she was hell-bent on hiding it, that convo with Khushi did affect Khushi's thought process, and coupled with Anji's fragile state, coaxed Khushi to hide the truth....

      In a way, she is like Anji, (how anji wants her happy bubble to be intact, and everything hunky-dory for herself and her sense of peace), same way, garima wants her n her family's image to be clean in front of the society, n if something negative threatens to impact it, she will sweep it under the carpet as much as she can, that time she doesnt think that how can she hide the truth for long, one day, it has to come out.....

    6. Sama,
      I think Shwetha and prob Dia too thought I am calling Garima 'ostrich'
      Nahi re all of you, that bird is bird brained Anjali.

      Dia, "Gadadhari bheem": *LOL* I agree I ranted quite a lot here. I really did not expect this from Garima.
      You wrote: "obviously if Dadi thinks she was the other woman, even Arnav will not hesitate to cancel the wedding, as he won't marry the daughter/niece of the woman who caused his mother's suicide.":
      1. Isn't that all the more reason for her to clear things first hand with Arnav. WON'T HE FEEL CHEATED WHEN THE TRUTH COMES OUT? What respect will he have for the Guptas after that?

      My blood still boils when I think about that.

      2. And what if the truth comes out during one of the wedding functions and Khushi and Payal will be humiliated in front of the whole family with no Amma or Bauji to shield them.

      3. Add to that Shyam's drama- I can't bear to see Khushi humiliated like that in public.

      Geetu, "In a way, she is like Anji": This breaks my heart, but you could be right.Anjali, I can take as wishy- washy and dumb, but Garima is a woman I had a lot of respect for. I definitely expected more maturity from her. Why did she say "Khushi ko sab kuch batana hai" in front of DM?

      I really hope this is not going to be the disaster I predict. May be things will be better today.
      Will she change her mind and tell K? SHE SHOULD!

    8. Hai Sama humne kya bola? Kab? Ostrich?

      Su

      Dont think the reason fir Garima running away is as big as her being the other 'woman'. If she were the other woman, the guilt of Arnav's mum committing suicide would have engulfed her by now. Again, she were the ither woman she would not allow khushi marry into that family due to the severity of the past.

      Again on Garima letting the cat out, get a feeling that Arnav will get to know thing before wedding and post Haldi. Whether he will get it from the horses mouth or from khushi or he recalls things from the depths if his memories once dadi and Garima come face to face is yet to be seen.

      Somehow I can't help recalling the payal's broken wedding revealation scene when Akash said he knew about the truth already....

      I get a feeling we will get similar scene where Dadi will realise who Garima is, accuse her again and accuse khushi of hiding the truth... Blah blah blah and Arnav will say he knew the truth already....

      No matter what happens in the future one thing's for sure Arnav will not tolerate any humiliation for khushi or Garima....

      I guess what I was trying to say is if and when Garima tells the truth i get a feeling that khushi will speak to Arnav about it.

      If the truth comes out before wedding then khushi will speak to arnav before wedding. If it cines out during or after wedding it will come as a surprise for both Arnav and Khushi....

      Somehow I don't think Garima will be able to leave .... Even if she does go I get a feeling she will have to come back before wedding or on wedding day....

      Coming back to Garima, yes, i do feel that this time around Khushi will speak to Arnav....hope she has learnt some lessons from her past exp....

      For all we know, Shyamu...may end up ensuring that Garima returns before the wedding (in his hope that it will stop the wedding, if there is a past Shyamu connection to this story)

    i have my weekly offs on wednesday and thursday and i wasnt able to open the blog at home! i had soo many things to say about each episode!! anyway....

    it was a mostly all female episode and all of them delivered!! Garima's desperation with both Shashi and later Khushi touched my heart..don't know what she did or if the CV's will reveal it soon but have to hand it over to PM for an amazing performance...
    best scene for me was the buaji-khushi scene..that lady ahs come such a long way...from blaming K for all the problems in the world to now..telling her that she isn't alone in the world..
    i hope we get a scene where Khushi is telling Arnav about wearing her mom's jhumke and feeling bad that G and S won't be there..
    last time mehendi happened..Khushi had 'A' on her palm..unknowingly..this time..she will be more than happy to have her rajkumar's initial..hope we get an FB of that scene!!

  15. got a small speculation for the past :

    point 1 : Garima has lied in the past, though she dint want to....

    point 2 : Dadi had disgust on her face for the other woman, but not when garima's name was mentioned....

    What if, Garima was MUed by Dadi, just the way Khushi was by Arnav...in the sense, everything that happened with Khushi w.r.t Shyam happened with Garima w.r.t to A's Dad....

    A's Dad, fell for Garima, at first sight n lied to her bt his marital status....wooed her, she also accepted..
    in the meantime, became friendly with A's mom....later she came to know that her friend's husband is none other then A's Dad....so broke off the relations with him, but he kept stalking her, feeding her lies bt his wife dominating and torturing him....and in one such incidence where he was forcing himself on her, Dadi saw them and Mued Garima

    A's dad says he loves garima n is ready to divorce a's mom for her

    So Dadi insults Garima, and calls Garima's sister and sister's husband to talk to them...

    On the way, the accident ensues between Khushi's parents car and A's dads car.....

    Garima takes up Khushi's responsiblity and because Dadi insulted Garima, she is forced to move....but in all this chaos, A's mom comes to know of some truth bt A's dad and Garima, so to save their marriage Dadi forced Garima to take the whole blame upon herself, bt how she trapped A's dad for money.....

    the other woman, might be one of his (A's dads) later flinges, when he could'nt get over garima, and this woman actually trapped him for money and ruined everything on Anji's wedding day.

    'hamari ki hui galati aaj hamare samne khadi hai'
    'hum tab bhi jhoot nahi bolna chahte the, hum asj bhi jhoot nahi bolna chahte'

    Garima looked scared, very scared but not guilty. She did not look guilty that Arnav's mun suicided because of her and that's why I feel she Knew something then which she chose to hide then from dadi/mallik family and she is possibly still hiding it.

    'aap tab bhi galat insaan ko bacha rahe the, aaj bhi galat insaan ko bacha rahe hai'
    'i was right then and I am right now' (then he possibly shielded Garima and now khushi). Ofc he did not know Garima, he just knew he was shielding someone.

    Dadi desparate to meet garima but if she remotely Garima responsible for that night, dadi would not go through any rasams without meeting her. So although Garima played a significant role in the past, she cannot be responsible for all the wrong doings coz IMO if was responsible dadi would put her foot down and say I want to meet her before any rasams. Just seems like Garima was at the wrong place at the wrong time....

    Dadi seems to dislike anger even for Garima but hate it is not.

    So Shashiji is aware of the past but not buaji. Shashi has shown to be an honest righteous man and if he knows Garima's past and still chose to marry her then again from Shashi's POV Garima is not guilty.

    Roka

    Something kept nagging me at Roka and now that I have watched it again and again I have say it although it's a bit late....

    While the whole family is happy and dancing Shyam enters RM. After shyam enters RM and starts tampering with Anji med, Arnav pulls khushi away from the family. The family continues to celebrate. Shyam tampers the med.... Arnav steels some kisses, all the while family unaware of A and K's diappearance.

    Note when arnav and khushi are completely oblivious to shyam, khushi is reveling in Arnav's love, his kisses but as soon as khushi sees shyam's shadow (i am presuming infact am it was his shadow) she pulls Arnav back to the family. She does not run away from arnav this time. She holds his hand and pulls him with her. Once back with in family, arnav immediately cares for his sister.

    When Arnav leaves to get Di med, he leaves khushi in charge of Di. Giving khushi his place equal haq on di. Trusting khushi to take care of his Di. And khushi accepts his place without hesitation.

    Shyam is in background now so arnav and khushi are enjoying in their bubble but as soon as khushi sees Shyam coming back in their lives, she will ensure Arnav and herself are their to protect Di.

    Arnav and khushi will not leave RM coz of Shyam, in fact they remain in RM for Di and fight him together this. Arnav fighting Shyam and khushi taking care of Di....

    An not going to rant about Anji anymore. She is not malicious but manipulator she is and IMO she is grey purely fir the fact that she has the cheek to lie to not her family but her loving, worshipping doting brother... While she sponges off him.

  17. On the jhumka:
    1. Garima said her father made almost similar ones for both the sisters.

    My wildest guess: Were they twins? (I know, doesn't have to be. Just that NK mentioned twins and once we had a discussion on whether K's mom was elder or younger to Garima.)

    2. Will the identical jhumka be noticed by dadi's hawk eyes and will she make a connection?

    (Was Garima expecting this shaadi? Why didn't she give the jhumka during A-K GH stay, at least during that heart to heart talk after Preeto wedding?)

    We seem to be differing in our opinions on Garima as well now I guess. I did not feel that Garima was running away from her mistakes. I did not feel she was deserting khushi and running away.

    I felt it's the mother in her that's taking her away. Khushi deserves happiness. She promised her jeeji that she will take care if khushi of khushi's happiness. She has seen love un khushi's eyes fir Arnav. She has seen the same in Arnav's for khushi. She knows khushi's happiness is with Arnav.
    From society POV as khushi has already lived with Arnav for 6 months and it's only right socially that she stays with Arnav albeit marry him and him only.

    She is scared that if dadi sees her she will stop the wedding. Dadi will come in khushi's way of happiness. Would a mother rather attend her daughter's wedding and risk it break or not attend the wedding and ensure she gets her happiness.

    Why did Garima not tell khushi about it? Whats the point of telling her now and upsetting her? Knowing khushi, she probably know khushi will worry about all the time. Her self blame attitude might make her blame their past to arnav's dard in life.... Khushi deserves to be happy for her wedding rather than pondering about Garima's past hence, Garima speaks to Shashi and seeks permission for them to leave.

    Oh and if Garima cimes face to face with dadi she is scared dadi will not only call khushi wedding off but it might also affect payal's.... Especially if Garima's past in any way shape of form connects with nani's daughter than nani might have trouble accepting payal as well.... Mami is already against khushi and payal....

    1. UJ,
      The truth will come out some day.
      Shouldn't Garima know it is inevitable?
      If she talks to ASR now, he will at least have respect for her and most definitely (we know) he will not break off the wedding. OK, may be she does not know her son-in-law so well.

      The fact that she is running away, trying to hide-even if it is in the best interest of her daughters, which IT IS- it makes it look all the more ugly.
      I will never call Garima selfish. I admired the character for all that all of you have said.
      I was with her both the times she slapped Khushi. That is exactly how a mother should behave. And I will always like her.
      It is just that her actions are going to make Khushi get MU-ed more by dadi and may be Anjali too.
      I also feel that with the maturity of her years, Garima should know that it is better to face the truth head on rather than run away. I understand why she is running away. All I am saying is, this is not what she should be doing. She is lucky that she has the support of her husband too, but really, IS THIS THE BEST WAY to deal with this?

      We don't know what the actual problem is, so may be I am jumping the gun here.
      Having said that, for me, it is always better to talk things out and clear the issues when you are marrying off your daughter.

      If things happen the way I predicted, dadi will frown up on K's up bringing, mami will have a ball and Anjali will be the confused weepy bird as usual.

      I am hoping at least nani will stay sensible and understand why Garima did it. ASR will too. Who will have the voice then, keeping in mind the Anji drama that is to get compounded?

      There, I hope I am cured of this rant.
      I accept and respect Garima as she is, even though I don't agree with her.

    3. Su,

      If u think Garima should not run away from the truth, what do u think Anji is actually doing?

      Granted, nothing can ever be achieved by running away from a situation that needs to be faced, if not today, it have to be faced tommorrow...

      Buts that is how some situations are and human responses in such situations determines the future course of their lives:

      For instance,
      Why could Anji not muster the courage to tell her brother that Shyam has been misunderstood...
      Why could Payal not muster the courage to tell Akash that their family is hiding a big secret about the SIL of the family that she was being wed into..
      Why could Arnav not tell Anji about Shyam once he knew of her pregnancy?
      why could Khushi not tell Anji when she had gone with the express intention of divulging the truth abt Shyam?

      All of the above situations have had consequences played out or playing out in some form or the other.....
      even forgetting that all this had the express reason of creating a drama, lets not forget that sometimes, we face situations in life where our silence and speech both have a price....its our judgement of the price involved in the decision that causes us to choose one over the other sometimes to our own detriment.....

    4. I have a question here, yesterday Garima said she didnt want to lie then, and she doesnt want to lie now.....so something is forcing her to...but when Shyam's truth was out to the Guptas, that time too she was all for burying the truth......

      above i posted a commented thinking that thats her nature, to keep her image intact, she wud rather bury the negative things...but now m confused....

      but still in all this scenario, i am ok with garima wanting to leave...maybe cause her stay will jeopardise Arnav-Khushi marriage...

    5. Geetu,
      I feel Garima is doing all this for the happiness of her daughters. Thaere is no selfish motive here probably.Back then with Payal's weding also, she did not want to jeopardize her daughter's future, now also. I am OK with her too, though I believe she is committing a huge mistake and Khushi will have to pay for this mistake.

      Rekha,
      "what do u think Anji is actually doing?":
      I defend Anji not because she is right. She is wrong, she should grow a brain and grow up. But I will excuse her because she has no brains and that is really not her fault. We all react according to what our circumstances have shaped us to become. Anji was brought up like a glass doll, she will behave like a glass doll.

      Garima- is not in the same league as Arnav, Anjali, Payal or Akash who have just started their lives.
      Especially, Payal. She is a newly married girl and I don't expect her to open her mouth and speak her mind at her sasuraal. It is an entirely new world for her and her husband has not encouraged her to be her self either. This is why I never had a problem with Payal.

      Garima is older, a mother of two daughters, has had bitter experiences in life- I expect her to behave with more maturity.

      How would Khushi behave if she was faced with the same situation as Garima? Right now she is immature and might run away too, like she ran off to GH when she felt she was a wedge in Arnav- Anjali.
      How would ASR like Garima to behave in a situation like this? Wouldn't he want her to sit down and talk with him? Then he can make the decision that it is better to keep this away from dadi and take the blame when she comes to know about it.

    6. Geetu,
      She thinks her staying will cause damage.
      If she used her brains, she'd realise running away is going to cause more problems.
      I feel:She has not learned from her past experiences or may be her experiences have taught her that it is better to close your eyes to certain things, in which case again, she is at least a little bit like Anjali.

    7. Yes, i thot about that part too....Garima apparently faced some mud slinging earlier on in her life, which may have conditioned her to run away from situations that threaten to cause it....yes..not the best solution...but thats how i read her.....

      her absolute anger with Khushi when the first marriage of Payal broke,(i could understand that anger becos she felt hushi brought it upon herself by meddling in elder's affairs and causing some shame to her family)
      then again when the girls shifted to Delhi after the blow up of Khushi tapes
      then her anxiety when the Shyam matter came up threatening to end the payal alliance with Akash
      her anger when Khushi married Arnav....her slap....to bring home the point.....that she deplored Khushi's action
      and now the Dadi matter....

      Also, if u see she is a bit subdued in her reactions with everyone....

      So, she is a bit sehmi hui person...Tuhina Vora would show some snatches of anger but Pyumori has only displayed this facet more so i think.....she does want to avoid any situation that can cause "badnami" of any kind, any finger pointed at their family, so in a way she is traumatised by that event in the past....

    8. Rekha,
      Was Buaji there in the Lucknow wedding?
      At what point exactly did the actress doing Garima change?

      I don't think Garima lied even back then or she will lie now.

      Jhoot toe hum tab bhi nahi bolna chahte the ( unsaid isiliye hum waha se chal gaye) aur jhoot toe hum ab bhi nahi bolna chahte (unsaid isiliye jaa rahe hai). Even with Shyam's episode, Garima was all for hiding the truth not lying. I on't think she lird then or she would lie now....

      Why did she not speak the truth then?
      Would dadi listen to her then? Having seen dadi's behaviour towards everyone, dadi seems to have a mind that does not look at the possibilities or broader picture. Her thinking is narrow and she thinks and believes only as she perceives things. Everyone's else opinion including her closest family does not matter.

      Dadi hamesha se aisi hai. Woh wohi sochti hai jo woh sochna chahti hai....

      If dadi would not have listened to Garima then, why would dadi listen now. In fact dadi has been to GH in garima's presence and insulted khushi big time... What assurance Harima has she would listen now...

      Delete
    10. UJ,
      Garima should speak to ASR and Khushi and let them handle the matter. Or at least nani, before the situation blows up.

      Delete
    11. On the lying bit back then: I was wondering if dadi in her high handed way wanted Garima to tell a white lie, which she refused and later on the situation (which could've be averted by a white lie) ended up in ASR's parent's death. - very far fetched! I just seem to like white colour a lot!!!

      Delete
    12. UJ: got it...i took the dialogue wrongly.....i thought she was forced to lie n she did.....but actually she was forced to lie n she dint, thats why she had to flee.....

      but then she shudnt be so scared of Dadi, esp now when she knows how much Arnav cares for her and Guptas

      Delete
  19. ASR told Khushi- "We will not play any more games with any one". (Such a sweet dialogue! Already missing ASR. Aaj darshan hoga, kya?)

    Poor ASR- does he know?- 'his di' and 'her amma' are playing hide and seek right now.

  20. lots of discussion on what is the BFTP / Garima and Anji

    My take on what does NOT seem to have happened:
    - Garima is not the secret mom of KKG
    - Garima was not single when her sister died - she brought in KKG to her and Shahi's House
    - Shashi is not in the dark
    - there is no question about the parentage of both our leads - otherwise the wedding would not be happening (also there would be no story in SP!)
    - whatever the story is is between Garima and Dadi - not ODB and Garima - otherwise Garima's dialogue should have been - "if this is ASR's dadi then ASR is his son!" - not - "this is Arvan's dadi!"
    - cant wait for the story to unfold - so hope they don't bore us with a slowed down shadi ka cassette!

    What should happen -
    - someone in GH please mention/question the absence of TF from RM!!
    - mamji - at least say you exist!
    - dadi is hand in glove with damadji (why else did she not ask whose phone it was?)
    - ODB i know you are filthy rich - then please arrange for a driver and car for yout bride and her family to move around - they really should not be going around in autos! - the writers are good examples of 'women's lib' but when i watch a romance - i want chivalry with a capital C please :D:D:D

  21. Could someone answer this please?

    Was Buaji there in the Lucknow wedding?
    At what point in the script exactly did the actress doing Garima change?

    1. hey Su, buaji was there during lucknow wedding, she was the first one to scold khushi for missing...

      Garima changed when they came to Delhi, when Bua, Khushi n Payal left lucknow, it was the old one, then there was a huge gap n maybe tuhina changed her mind, so they got PM

    2. Hey, if you are around, what about boonde?
      Another 'burning' question.

      Delete
    3. even i was a bit confused cause i thought boonde is studs, but boonde means drops....so it must be drop shaped...jhumkas are umbrella shaped, that m sure about

      Delete
    4. Su & Geetu,

      Boonde are danglers i.e. they hang from the ears. Jhumke also hang but they have a dome shaped structure as the lower part.

  22. *SPOILER ALERT*

    http://www.india-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3162831

    I KNEW the CVs would have a googly for us... well, atleast I didn't expect this...I was fully expecting the two events not to be linked!!

    1. I knew this was coming, Mads..... Dadi coming to RM suddenly after 14 years was a clue in itself....

      Also here m sure Shyam has told Dadi half truth that too anonymously

      Delete
    2. good thing is, I can hate anjali even more now!!! :P :P *muahahahahahahah*

      already felt like slapping her the moment I saw her in those pics and all hugging dadi.. ughhhh she is a shame to womanhood!!

      so shyam playing his cards well...only he doesn't know that ASR can be very much stubborn even though he is a di bhakt.. *I hope so*

      and Anji baby, if you are smart enough (which I doubt) and/or know your chotey even 0.01%, then you will NOT play the "oh..I am not feeling so well today!" card to sqeeze out of your "friend"ly meetings with your scoundrel of a husband...you see, others might just shut up and keep you in your room...but chotey, nope! He will pester you to death till he makes sure that you are fine..

      Delete
    3. Geetu, but I wonder how did shyam find out about dadi?? Nobody knew about dadi except arnav-nani.. even anji didn't as the frst Q she asked dadi when she was home was "where had you been all these yrs?" ... so how did shyam know??

      dammit!! This means the past thing is going to get postponed now...and its all gonna be again about di-rona dhona!!!

      I wouldn't be surprised if we get a new interview tomo with DB protesting and saying "try and understand her POV, she is hormonal and preggers and blindly in love...ofcourse she will believe her husband over anybody else"

      *headdesk**headdesk**headdesk*

    4. Still does not mean she came at Shyam's request. She must have found him out and he gave a sob story which she is only too willing to mop up. Can't wait for the epi to air.

      Delete
    5. Su, i dont think she came at shyam's request..... yes Shyam was responsible...but he dint show himself to her....he just found a way of sending her the news that arnav is taking rash decisions, maybe let her know that arnav threw shyam out of RM..... and that was enough for her to come back to sort things out her way.....

      also he hasnt told her anything involving khushi cause then she wud have directly opposed this remarriage.....

      Delete
    6. Su, yes, that possibility is there...but I doubt if he can give a sob story within 5 mins of anjali entering the room.. plus, if dadi doesn't know who damad is, how will she accept some random guy telling her I am your damad? He is also touching her feet...and check in one of the pics, she is reassuring anji something...meaning she was in the plan all along.. that's what I feel..

      anyway, as you said, let's wait for the epi to air..

      although if CVs are smart enough, they would NEVER leave the friday epi ArHi-less.. its a crime in IPK-IF world.. :P I hope they know that! :P lol.. plus, some of the spoiler pics above were from yesterday's epi..so that scene can probably comprise for just 10 mins or so..the remaining 10 mins they have to show something else..

      Delete
    7. @Geetu...or he might have told her abt khushi.. why else would dadi be against khushi from the very first day? almost as if she despised her face even? :S

      anyway..let's watch the epi...finally we are getting some answers.. I am SURE the CVs haven't thought about the past yet, that's why sending off garima-sashi to lucknow..so that they deal with shyam-anjali first and then bring in the past.. so shyam-anjali-dadi fiasco is sure to create a rif b/w the siblings and bring ArHi closer than ever...

      and probably, when they are close enough..maybe even have consummated or so...bring in the past..

      Delete
    8. We dont know that other dint know...m sure Mama-Mami must be knowing which Ashram she was staying at...maybe Anji dint knew....but Shyam cant get his info from anywhere...he just o know that Anji has a Dadi who stays in some Ashram.....he wud store that info away for some later use...but yeah these are all assumptions :P
