3/10 - Epi 356 ... Plan1 - Smoke Him Out

Wednesday 3rd October

Either the cv's are reading this blog, or (scary thought) they think like we do LOL We discussed on this spot ages back that Anjali will never believe Shyam's truth unless and until he confesses himself. And today Khushi explains to Arnav exactly that ...
So plan number one goes into action ...

Episode today was better than yesterday ... don't understand where exactly Arshi were hiding when Shyam came in, but whatever LOL Suggestions range from bathroom, inside the cupboard and invisibility cloak. LOL

And don't understand why Shyam is not suspicious at the antics of his new best friend NK ... but whatever ... again LOL

So Shyam enters, Arshi hide, NK comes running to fulfill his duty and takes a protesting and angry Shyam away ... and Khushi soothes a boiling mad Arnav ... watch out, there are cameras outside, you can't show you're boiling mad the day after your marriage, people will ask questions. It's not your normal mood these days, unlike before.
Why did Shyam come to his own room first and not go to Arshi's room? Logically he was on their trail, he should have checked out their room first ...
Logic has taken back seat here, enjoy the ride LOL

Next step ... Khushi checks out Anjali's feet on pretext of massage ... so did Anjali hide the wounds from the family? And the doctor? To shield Shyam?
And does Anjali really think Khushi is massaging her feet to impress Arnav? Still Di-lusional Di LOL

The upset, almost scared look as Khushi turns to Arnav when she sees the marks, the fury in Arnav's face as he realises what must have happened, those wounds were deliberately inflicted (no matter that his pea-brained sister apparently continued walking on glass for half a mile) ... the way Khushi manages to quickly take Arnav out of range of the family before he loses his cool, which he's boiling up to do ...
Boiling mad Arnav again, ready to bash the wits out of Shyam ... till Khushi calms him down and explains that will not work at all ... he did that before and it got them precisely nowhere. And Shyam is crafty at turning proofs into his favour ... as he did in the kidnapping.
What they have to do is find a way to break Di's trust in him ...
If Di really did hide her wounds to protect Shyam, she's deeper in denial than we thought ... it will take a heck of a lot to convince her.

I am loving this partnership ... when one jumps, the other stops to think ... they both act as stepping stones and sounding boards for each other ... and are totally in synch.
Arnav decides to check out the dhol vaalas ... and discovers that Shyam was the mysterious dhol vaala ... I thought he already knew that from the video? Suspicion confirmed ... there was a new mysterious guy that day. Shyam it was.

Nk hates Mami taunting Khushi ... so a very filmy Sholay style expose for her ... with Devi Maiiya speaking accented Hinglish ... ROFL It was filmy, OTT, slapstick ... and I laughedROFL
And am sure Daljeet and Jayshreeji didn't have to act much ... they must have been happy to be allowed to laugh!
And Khushi gets an idea ... LOL Just don't put Shyam on his guard if you fail, Khushi. Arnav is very doubtful, but as Khushi points out, he doesn't have a better one yet. (He doesn't even have one yet.)

First step ... which was quite smart, have to say.  Painters arrive ... and Shyam goes running to remove the cameras.
I thought he had a court appearance today? And why is he keeping an eye on Arshi anyway???!

Anyway, Shyam did all the sweating and the hard work of taking the cameras off, and Arshi can now relax, and do anything they want to.
As Khushi points out happily.
And Arnav still doesn't take advantage of. Much to her disappointment LOL
Bewakoof.
Arnav, I mean. 

Can I have some hope for the night? Sulking biwi gives me some hope.
Or is it all going to be about Shyam's khoon bhara thobda?

I'm loving these days how Arnav and Khushi are practically joined together at the hip .. hayyeee Day Dreaming Where one goes, the other is sure to follow.

  1. Last part Hayeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! After a long time though STILL WANT THE FORMAL LOOK BACK, Dandaaaaaa CVs..

    Mami part was kinda lame but cute...So they put a stop to PS and there is not KBT around and very smartly neither Arnav or Akash had to do it cos they love Mami too much.

    I still feel very sad seeing Akash alone and silent mode:(

    Holy miracle Haircutman!, Did we have a hairtrim today without us even asking about it? Hmmmmmm...Well have to give it to LM, I did say LM ensured BS gets regular haircuts.

    So the cameras are off, Bitiya is happy they can do anything, Bitwa is the first to realize it and then awwwwwww...

    Ulta decoding the above scene:

    They need TRP fast and what better way than HOT SR!!

    Okay faltu question time, Shyam puts a camera in a plant knowing fully well that ARNAV loves gardening, it didn't occur to him that Arnav would have found out about the camera on his own while watering the plants or pour watered on it anyway.

    Shyam ki plans ki jai ho..He just wants to keep an eye on him, No lusting after khushiji, WOW!!

    5. Nahiiiii

      not Om bhaiyya and pravtai bhaabhi..shweths please mere mntal images ki aise toh mat udaa yaar!!!

      Btw J will be thrilled to see this - bitwa beard and hair trim changed between him coming to get the file and then coming back with biwi. Well done!!

      See the people detailing the scene are making a mockery of the camera trick. How can Shyam just pull it off just like that - what about the wires? kuch bhi!!! Idea buraa nahi hai par dikhaane main tai tai phish!

      And yes Dia, for a change nice to see these 2 agree on something.

    6. Exactly, Sandy ... camera has to be connected to either pc or power source! Their tree is electric kya? The first few cameras were at least inside the house on walls and had wiring ... the plant and tree ones were stupid!!! The tree one had a USB dangling at the end ... that was completely ridiculous!
      Being the wife of a techie, I tend to notice these things ;)

      Sama: I came back after 10 minutes dekha still alone and wondered itna bhi achcha nahin tha yaar ki replay kar rahay hongay sab log,lol.

      Rekhs: He better kiss her now...If he misses the kiss or withdraws one more time, LM ki khair nahin.

      Yup I just checked, LM is still in the credits and he did put up a barun pic from today's epi, soooooooo everyone at the MF who are complaiing about Lost LM magic....Gee, they can't even differentiate between when LM is here and not there.

      Aaru: Lag jaa galay...Same haalat hai...I either pray he comes late if something good is going to happen or nothing happens if he is around....Can't see him rofling and getting hit with mukkas and completely ruining it for me. Janaab not at home so can chatwa peacefully he he..

    8. Aaru,
      not about expressions really....the track doesn't afford much scope becos of how it is all conceived......if u see even the apology was very half-hearted from Khushi's end....if i am not mistaken, Arnav did not even respond to that wt??Arnav's rage was without much voice....the wounds scene was so odd........its like they are running a race here....Its like "i have to gather proof" let me run and get it....chalo..aap dikhao...dekhna hain toh dekhenge...

    9. Hehe ... my hubby has different problem ... the show airs at 12 midnight, so poor guy goes off to sleep, he knows I won't be in bed till 1 am, after updating blog and downloading the episode :)))

      But at 8 pm, we get the previous day's repeats, and I don't bother about them so much, so he gets his dinner on time :))

      Today he's travelling, so I am also free to chat :))

  4. Rant alert :

    WHYYY can they not get khushi some new dresses, now that sh is officially married?? recycle some of anjali's sarees and stitch khushi some new suits out of them, like NOW. Hmpf.

    "shyamji aisa kaise kar sakte hain? aur hume laga woh badal gaye hain!" repeated *headdesk*... lo kar lo baat! :S

    WT* was it with NK-DM and mami??? Ok, ok...I get it, it was to get khushi her brainwave, but really....can they NOT revert to such pointless scenes???? WHO is writing the show for the past couple of days???

    Can they NOT even give them lovebirds SOME time for themselves, now that the cameras are not there??? Must they intersperse them with "shyam ko apne hi jaal mein phasao" abhiyaan???? Really...the mood was PERFECT...did they HAVE to ruin in by bitwa picking up the phone and bitiya thinking abt the next step they should employ???

    BS - I don't know what it is about you, but ever since the statement about you leaving has resurfaced again, I somehow feel disconnected in your scenes... maybe its just me, but your expressions are sooo OFF...its like you are thoroughly disinterested...so buck up your act, you ain't going anywhere until your contract is done so better do a good job while you are at it, will ya?? Its either that, or the fact that the scenes are poorly directed...

    Finally...looks like khushi's plan is gonna fail, or else the track will wind up this week itself...if its the first, I am hoping they wind it up at the time of diwali/dassera, would be perfect with the "good winning over evil" thing... if its the second, PLEASE can we not have kitchen politics after this??? Give us NK-love story track...or a new guy for anjali...

    and yess, for pete's sake, ArHi are married...so do let us be reminded about that once a while...heck they couldn't keep their hands off each other when they weren't officially married and now that they are and even the cameras aren't around, can we have some nice, quiet, decent romance please?? pretty, please?? see you have many options that wouldn't need budget approvals -

    1. simple things like bitiya arranging for a poolside dinner for thaka hua bitwa...then both sitting quietly on poolside with bitwa resting his head on bitiya's lap

    2. bitwa-bitiya (alongwith sleuthing ka bahana) go on a romantic date/end up on a romantic date

    3. bitwa going off on a business trip and taking bitiya with him coz ofcourse he wouldn't want her anywhere near shyam and now that he is his official wife he can take her around with him anywhere and everywhere...at this point I'm so desperate for them sneaking off together somewhere that I wouldn't mind them turning an old set to look like its a cheap hote from mauritius... :P just give me ArHi romance, bas! :P

    1. Mads,

      There is a tendency for slackening during the honeymoon period at work (that period where u are serving notice) but genuinely i think its about poorly written, rushed scenes that is the cause for this feeling...to such an extent, i am finding even San off her usual peak these days...(whereas she is one who can turn the most insipid scenes into something watchable...whereas BS requires timing, cues,in which to deliver his best...

      Which is why i hoped that the CVs will stick to their job....conceive onscreen drama.....the serial is lacking that for the present....

    3. Mads / Rekhs /Dia,

      I think the scenes where people seem off it has to be Amanji at work.

      Dia,
      I think bitwa walked to her with full intent and then changed mind last minute to see what biwi would say ;) And he was pleased as punch to see her think just right ;)

      Arrey I toh am all for biwi plan flops, bitwa smirks and teases, biwi pouts and full on nok jhok.

      I get a feeling that since TRPs were not out ydayd they again played it loose today to see how the track is being received. So that they can change track quickly if needed.

      Delete
    4. Sandy, yep, I think he's teasing biwi for sure ... even the fight, when I re-watched seems to be with that purpose ... to rile up his biwi, so he can enjoy manaoing her.

      TRP's are out ... jump to 3.0 ... last week's wedding drama and the positivity seems to be working. Let's see what happens this week - with Arnav Khushi finally together and working against the villain, they should maintain or go up further. Fingers crossed.

    5. Dia,

      He had that smile when he pulled hr to him. And he was all set to get naaughty but then biwi ne KHM kar di. See the total annoyance on his face and the moment h takes o gt out of his mood before telling her the plan will work. How about a little Arnav goes missing, Khushi become headless chicken and he come back for a fight to happen and then we are told of something he has set in motion.

      I want to see some biwi manoing bitwa moments rey now!

      Delete
  5. Aaru you want WU?

    Well they hear Shyam coming in and hide behind a cupboard I think, don't ask.

    NK comes and drags Shyam away from the room. Asr IS FURIOUS, she says there are cameras everywhere so act normal.

    She come down wiht JOHNSON BABY OIL and massages Anjali's feet,sees the scars and signals to him that they are there. Both realize Shyam was responsible.

    Tell Anjali and Dadi they are going out somewhere, which is actually the parking lot of RM.

    He is furious, she says we don't have enough proof. They meet the dolwala company and Arnav realizes the new guy they hired was indeed Shyam from his FB.

    Now they come home and NK pretends to be DM and fools Mami into confessing her mistakes. So Mami admits, she does pooja to avoid housework, she mixed vodka in Buaji's drink in Payash sangeet and she tore the saree that khushi brought and hence PS...And NK comes out tadaaaaaaa...So effectively PS and KBT are put to rest.

    This give Khushi an idea that they have to get Shyam to confess. First part is to get rid of the cameras. So at breakfast, Arnav calls up painters to pain the house before diwali. Shyam gets tensed which Arnav notices and is satisfied. Shyam realizes painters will see the cameras and hence decides to remove them.

    He is in ARHI bedroom and by the pool removing the camera when Arnav enters. Shyam gets scared and hides. Arnav knows shyam is in there but coolly takes a file and leaves and Shyam is seen removing all the cameraas.

    Khushi is happy that with cameras off, they can do anything. Bitwa instantly gets the hint, comes close towards her, she says I Didnt mean to do that, he leans and picks the phone and asks innocently what did you think I was going to do, tries to kiss her and she like a typical SP bahu, wants to discuss the next stage of plan. He immediately resigns himself ki ab kuch nahin hoga and tells her her plan won't work, she is adamant and shows her first patni tantrum.

  7. Dia,

    Small mercies that Khushi finally sees the light about Shyam. And I hought she would ask for his forgiveness but yeah though Arnav did not rally react to that I was ok since this was already fought out between them.

    What I would have liked to see:
    when Khushi outlined her plan, ASR should have rebutted her so you dont even have a plan with well I will come up with a good one and that is what we will follow and Khushi tries to tell him in all her KKGness that no way now that I wam your wife you need to follow whatever I say. A WT from Arnav, some nice aankh matkaaoing from Khushi and and Unbelieveable from Arnav with him apparently relenting saying Ok Fine and then leaning into whisper that Khushi tumhaara plan kaam nahi karne waala - lagi shart!

    And biwi stomps off and bitwa is pleased as punch having riled her up. And then as she is walking away calls her to say Khushi, phir se laal ho gayi ;)

    There was a nice possibility for Khushi to say well jo bhi ho humaare plan ne hi aapki jaan bbachaayi thi nai an his eyes cloud over and Khushi realizes she has been motor mouth and immediately says humaara woh matlab nahi tha, achcha toh phir appa hi bataayiye ki kya karenge and Arnav gives in saying, waise tumhaara plan itna bhi bura nahi hai :)

    Case in point; family time does not mean the passion and tension between the couple settles down. their brief is they are tom and jerry so writers please always always keep that in mind.

    And what happened to Khushi asking Arnav to promise to take her for blessings to garden. For a girl who values relationships, should it not come up between them where she hesitatingly asks him if they can go to get blessings, ofc if it is not too painful for him. And either they do or they decide to postpone it till they have a way to keep tabs on VLR.

    Pay attention to transition from one story point to another.

    Hmm so you are going to rewind and take us through the incidents that happened ever since Khushi first set foot in RM. Right foot and phati saadi done - what next? Is it a bid to remind ArHi of all the near misses Khushi had in meeting Shyam.

    Are we having a Teej 360 on Karva Chauth this year? Sometime in early Nov? And are you going to bring up Khushi selling her kangans?
    And CVs you better not forget kanya pooja this year round.
    Can there be a family chit chat with fond recollectins by Nani of La and all her antics. Khushi laughs and then has an ASR related recollection.

    Weave the magic people - come on don't be a wet firecracker.

    And yes shirt and waistcoat to make a comeback, bluetooth too, Aman needs to be delegated tasks with updates to Arnav when he is at home. Desn't Arnav needs to go for jogs anymore? Can we please see some car rides - no cameras there either. A drive to some isolated place one evening for a chat and a general conversation about all that passed recently leading to some nice RV. Hullo they are newly weds - so what agar remarriage ki hai toh!!


    We understand Shyam needs to feel suffocated but then can NK keep invoking ANji's name. Also Akash has known Shyam more. So he would be a better person given he was neutral in the earlier expose.

    1. Oh and while we are at it, what mahurat are you guys waiting for Arnav to give Khushi that bracelet?
      Or was it just to symbolize a sparkling unbreakable bond?

      SN: I liked the epi today but the execution needs to pick up to make the IPK appeal benchmark.
      And please give Khushi sarees if they ar easier to come by. Hideous suits - nahiiii!!!!!

      Which reminds me - can we have a shopping exepdition or at least atlk of one?

      The sis bond which was shaping up so well is again gone to deep freeze thanks to your jiji leaving. At least do teh decent things and get a replacement or send her to buaji's house for a while to help amma cope with all the trouble. Akash need not go missing or be all alone like today. The difference in the otehr soaps where the case is huge they still maintain an account of their characters, yahaan smaller team yet you guys dont -come on!!!

      Delete
    2. And yeah one more

      we know ArHi will win eventually. We know Shyam will mess up but can the suspense and drama build up like in the wedding track?

      Nail biting to see how will Shyam be trapped, who will catch him, what if Anji hears somehing half baked. How will the family react. Why is no one / Nani speaking to Arnav about Shyam's continued presence in the house and what tehy shoudl do/

      Yes SP heroines rule but please if you do a SPfication of ASR, yikes!!! He is teh dark knight not govinda pleej!!!

      Ditto to all your comments ... in the bid to oust Shyam, the makers shouldn't forget the core Arnav Khushi characters!!! Some sweetness and light is good, but they've always had bitter-sweet fights, now they should change to khatta meetha ... the bitterness and hate is long gone, but the spice and the sparks need to stay! Too much sweetness is diabetic!!!

      I don't think the time is right for Khushi to ask for that trip to mom's garden ... that track is yet to be explored. Am planning to do a detailed update of Monday's episode later today ... it was a very good one, and I want to spend time on it ... I felt it did lay out the next couple of tracks. He will take her to mom's garden when he is completely ready, when he has made his peace with Garima ... and with the real nature of his mom and Anjali ... or a different truth comes out, depending on which way they take it.

      A big DITTO to using the other cast ... one of the BIGGEST failings of IPKKND!!!! The entire family is against Shyam ... either involve them, or SHOW Arhi discussing that let's keep this to ourselves for the moment ... Mami and NK have big mouths, Akash and Nani are too transparent, they might not be able to hide their feelings ... so let's not tell anyone yet. But SAY something!!!!

      I WANT A PAYAL!!!! Bas, bol diya!!!

      Get a side actress who is happy to act dumb, but you can't do away with a character just like that. They did it with Mama, after making him witness to a few of Shyam's misdeeds, now they're doing it with Payal ... Hadd hoti hai, yaar! As it is, it's such a small cast, if you don't retain even the ones you have, how can you run the show? Barun, Sanaya, Abhaas, Daljeet, NK ... five people cannot take the show forward without collapsing out of sheer exhaustion!!!

      NK's behaviour is getting very suspicious ... he should have told Shyam that Di is wondering where he is so he came to look for Shyam .. this bromance should make Shyam suspicious instantly ... of course Shyam has also lost his dimaag temporarily!!!

      SP heroines ... okay, this I'm happy with ... :)))
      I have been saying all along that Khushi has to be a strong character, otherwise the show won't work. She used her brains in the kidnapping track, and it worked ... she has to use her brains now, and calm down Arnav ... because the guy doesn't THINK when he's angry!!! But yes, can they have him getting a few ideas too? And I don't want Khushi's ideas misfiring to the extent that they alarm Shyam ...

      I liked the following ...
      Khushi tells Di (Monday) that they came out for some fresh air.
      Arnav tells Khushi that Di can't see beyond Shyam.
      Tuesday when they go back, Khushi says loudly, what a nice stroll we had.

      Big step forward ... they both know that anything Di sees can get back to Shyam, so to keep Shyam fooled, they have to keep Di fooled as well. So cover your story.
      This only Khushi can do ... her talent at making up stories quickly comes to the fore here. Arnav is too honest - he can't fib!
      Also he doesn't believe in explaining himself ... but Khushi knows that people might not question him, but they can doubt ... so by filling in the cracks, you banish their doubts as well.

    4. Dia,

      I liked what you liked too. And yes Mon's epi was really good.

      My point with garden was, a Khushi monologue perhaps? See she is not the typical SP heroine though she is independant, values relationships and all, She does not mind apologizing for mistakes made unknowingly. So just a peek into her thoughts for Arnav's sake to not go for now and perhaps a mental, humme maaf kiiye mumma ki humein aane main shaayad thodi der ho jaaye or some such. ti it up for now. appeals to the halva puri ladies rrey!!

      And yes NK's behaviour is going to trip alarms in Shyam's head. He already knows eh underestimated NK last time - unless that is teh way ArHi plan unravels.

      But ys involve the rest of the cast at least in and ArHi discussion. Agreed ASR belieevs in justifying to no one but he needs to be the one to think of possible danger to Khushi and rest of the family from Shyam knowing what he does of teh man.Shiddat to Arnav having ideas or rather bolstering Khushi's.

      Khushi seems full on Karz - past bhoot come to visit nautanki Sri but they need a backup plan and that is how I wish they will show ASR working. He spots teh loophole and has an idea to plug it in.

    5. Sandy,

      I feel:Romance has taken a backseat, at least for a while. This is why I don't ask for the bracelet and maa's garden now, though this is the right time in their relationship.(I don't know if we'll get those ever! Maa's kangan, letter, K's Amma's jhumka- what was the purpose of that?- so many ends left loose)

      I feel, right now the pain of what Di had to go through and the fact that Shyam 'murdered' the child has hit ASR hard and it will be sometime before the two can enjoy a moment of peace again.

      First on agenda, as of now- oust Shyam, take revenge for di- on both their minds. I liked the look of helplessness, despair, anger on Barun's face as K silently confirms that indeed, there are scars.

      But, ASR's expressions seemed to suggest that he was ready for a sweet moment, if she had not jerked him back to reality- aww...and then he teases her about it....

      About K's plan: I AM NOT LIKING IT ONE BIT. They should be together in this. The fact that ASR does not approve of it (rightly so)- I suspect nothing good is going to come out of it. One cannot apply the same psychology on Shyam and mami. Mami once even believed that Payaliya was bhoot.

      Shyam is a different ball game. He is sharp- he can put two and two together and come up with something totally unexpected.

      MY WORST FEAR: He will brain wash Anjali against Khushi somehow, and Anjali will offer to leave RM- which ASR will not allow- and in order to make peace...well, Sanaya is supposed to be leaving for UK- either a mock Arhi fight or an accident...

      I have a bad feeling this idea is going to backfire.

      And if Shyam is going fall for this, it is the worst fate ever for a villain in telly land. Sad that he has to go down like this.

      The funny thing is, I thought ASR was making a smart move yesterday when he came in to the room as Shyam was removing the camera. I thought K must be showing Anjali and the rest of the family in the laptop what Shyam has been upto! Guess, still not proof enuf to convince Anji!

      Delete
    6. Su,

      romance needs to go to background but not disappear is what the makers need to recall.

      Th eplan will backfire but then the backup plan needs o exist and it should be the main tadka. Laptop proof like K said his face is not on there and seriusly Ani may believe nothing short of direct from the horse's mouth.

      Even I am looking for Shyam to brainwash Anjali but not against Khushi - that wil lset her on her guard. If he does the only opion open to him now is the discrepancy of Arnav's behaviour to teh 2 main thorns of his life - Garima his past whom he has forgiven and moved on but insists on cold shouldering Shyam himself. His maan being heart and him putting up with it all only fro Rani Sahiba's sake. He will poisonbut ensure at the end she is again in awe of how much he cares for her.

      And if he is really cornered, he is going to blame every incident of coming back to RM on Anjali - that she asked him to and he did the needful because he loved hr. To Anjali it will just be proof of how much he loves her further bolstering her blind faith in him. A confession from him about having caused the baby's death may be the wak up call for her. Hmm, so what if ArHi manipulate the situation trying to get Di to adopt a baby or misguide Shyam into thinking his child is alive?

      Delete
    7. Sandy,
      Laptop- I meant, K could've been showing the live telecast of Shyamu removing the cameras in ASR's room to the whole of RM- He'd have had a lot of explaining to do.

      The plan backfiring- this is why I said I don't like the direction this is going...if evil wins again, I'll still keep watching the show ( i really have no problems sticking around to see how Shyam gets caught in THE END), I don't think a whole lot of people will be that patient.
      So, I really hope ASR comes up with a back-up plan, again, not hoping for it too much, because if it is not there, I don't want to be disappointed again. I hope the CVs know the pulse of the audience by now and will make sure that Shyam is kicked out once and for all at the end of this track.

      Anjali against Khushi:
      Throughout the wedding track, Anjali talks about Chhote's Khushi and all her dialogues to K is also keeping in mind Chhote's Khushi. I feel there is something lacking there from Anjali's side.

      Even when nani extolled K's virtues, Anjali was a silent bystander nodding her head- I feel she has accepted Khushiji only as Chhote's wife and has not yet started trusting her completely...she does not hate her, but she loves her only because she is Chhote's wife. This is how I explain the lack of meaningful convo btn Anji and Khushi that I was expecting in the wedding track...Anji seemed shallow there.

    8. "so what if ArHi manipulate the situation trying to get Di to adopt a baby or misguide Shyam into thinking his child is alive?":
      Sandy,

      This thought of yours sent me into this thought process.
      Glass piece in the razor set, baby crying heard only by Shyam, Dhol heard only by Shyam, Footprints in blood visible only to Shyam ,decorated crib ... Khushi could be thinking all this! Psychological warfare!!!OSO!

      Delete
    9. su, psychological warfare.. OSO style.. perfect as khushi's plan... but of course, it being hushi's plan, it will not work.. and Arnav will have to step in with the brawn again.

      anjali accepts ODG because her chotte is in love with her. his happiness is most important to anjali.. and though she sees khushi's love for him, she has not forgiven her for making chotte( misunderstand her shyamji and )kick him out of the house.

    10. This is not the Shyam vs ASR I wanted *sigh*

    11. Exactly, Shwetha.
      This is why a part of me wants K to lose and ASR to take over!
      THE END mein, at least. I want that shatir dimag to make an appearance like the copter at least in the last episode.

      Delete
    12. Su,

      Another point to add...was the innocuous sounding dialogue from Anji yesterday about Khushi buttering up to her....it can be taken either ways....just general nanad-bhabhi or something more....

      My general dissatisfaction on the anji track has been that only..which i why her turning Durgaish gives me the creeps...becos i am never come across a more undeserving Durga ever.(if there is ever a term like that!)...this is not to say that Anji has no right to punish Shyam..she ofc does becos he is her principal culprit...
      Its just that i have not been able to come to terms with her real nature....sometimes smart, sometimes dumb, sometimes manipulative, sometimes bechari, sometimes blind.....who is she? Su, u know how much we have argued and discussed this woman almost ad nauseum.after a point, i did not know my own thots....she messed my mind very well....LOL

      Delete
    13. Shweths,

      In the hope that teh blog is trolled, so what kind of Shyam vs ASR can we have knowing what we know. Let the ideas roll.

      I get a feeling it will come back to Shyam's thirst for that money. And that is a bhaasha ASR understands. But what will the deal be given that ArHi need to rattle Anjali's vishwaas.

      Btw after that day at the mandir when she heard the ews from Mami abotu divorce, today was the first time Anjali was shown actually praying at mandir happily. Hmm, how can ASR loop in Mami into this phasao Shyam game?

      Delete
    14. Rekha,

      yep that Anji dialogue of Khushi doing things just to show Arnav was in jest but yep it could be given connotations.

      The fact here is then the story Shyam fed Anjali to ement her belief will need to be strong and when Shyam's continued presence in RM is exposed, Anjali fesses up to knowing it all and actually ending up saying she asked him to come and he came for her sake - so what will Arnav do?

      Anjali can be all that you mentioned above. She is smooth and pliant when she is happy and things happen her way; stubborn and lightly vindicative when they don't.

      Today Khushi has apolgized for bringing the creep back in. Anjali needs to one day face the same situation and somehow I see that happening when Arnav's happiness is threatened - i.e. Khushi

      That is why I am game to see Shyam now turn his full focus onto Anjali and make sure she is deeper and deeper into him, keep bringing up the baby loss, perhaps sweet talk her about another, mention a change of place for her to forget unhappy times - anything - panga is when they execute people look at it as Shyam Anji scenes bcos balance goes for a toss.

      SN: I hope they stick to Nani's diktat on Khushi's wedding day asking Khushi never to change.

      Delete

    15. Rekha,

      "....who is she?"- the mystery of the messed up character? LOL...

      Agree with you on her yesterday.

      She is subtly pointing out something there, I felt- that khushiji has accepted Di only for Arnavji's sake- just like she herself tolerates Khushi for Chhote's sake.
      She appreciates the things Khushiji does to make Chhote happy- apart from really reciprocating Chhote's feelings, she even tries to bring the siblings closer(RB kurta)- Khushiji does this not out of her love for di, but only out of her duty as Chhote's wife...a trace of jealousy in Anji there? But genuinely happy for her brother...I don't know if there is any point in discussing Anji to such depths (BBE will tell us, I told ya!)...

      To me, she is a loving sister first and foremost with her share of insecurities, and if she feels she is a thorn in Chhote's married life or Chhote's wife is a thorn in hers, she will try to move away - try to keep a safe distance for the sake of her brother.

      Delete
    16. Sandy,

      If u look at it in a logical way, Shyam's motives have also been aivi-taivi....

      Neither has he pursued the love for Khushi (DDR) well nor the pursuit of wealth...His killing his baby was the most confusing one...apart from the morbidness of it all. He told Khushi, i will not let u come in the way of my objectives, and then he goes and does eactly the opposite...cuts his nose to spite his face....all for coming back into the house...which he could have done even without killing his baby...teekh hain....we knew why he did that becos the PH couldn't manage a baby...but for viewers the question should remain, isn't it?

      Somehow i have always believed...motive (however unreasonable) drives people to crimes...the ones who do it without a motive are mentally deranged....period

      Its possible that they may junk other motives now but still they would have to show some semblance of what is it that the VLR is thinking of....it may be silly altho dramtic showing this man getting worried OSO style becos he is no Anji...

      Delete
    17. 'which he could have done even without killing his baby...':

      Rekh,
      He may not have done it, had dadiji succeded in getting him invited for GB and convinced the others to accept him for Anji's sake.

      He gave up on dadi there- you could not even get me in- leave it, I have a better plan- a sure shot plan to make sure Anji lost everything and would hang on dearly to her hubby now more than ever before- and a PERFECT reason to convince Khushiji that the death of a child turned him over a new leaf-

      This is why I was not surprised or upset with K bringing Shyam back- the impact of that scene was too good! It accelerated the whole track.

      Delete
    18. Rekha,

      Shyam has a need to attack the Mallik-Raizadas. And the weakest brick in that wall is Anjali. Apple of everyone's eyes and more important her brother can do anything for her happiness.

      He would need a backdtory - keeping it simple it could be his dad and Arnav's dad were business partners but then Shyam's father was swindled and as a result his family lost all. Perhaps parents was died / killed / committed suicide there too.

      Him killing the baby - was a desperacy needed to ensure Anjali's dependence on him. With the baby he could see her latching onto hope of living with that lfie, dreams of future with that child and sh may eventually have grown less dependent on him - he could not afford that. He needed her to feel what she told him - that she was never so strong that she would not need him. I would not be surprised if Anjali's limp was caused by Shyam in the first place and in saving her he won the hearts of all in the family. (much like he did with Khushi).

      Shyam has a motive but his obsession with revenge is also making him deranged to an extent.

      See even if they go OSO style, the villain was baffled, rattled but then his mind being hsarp he discovered the flaw in the plan. Khushi with a few wins may think thy are winning and that is where Arnav's cool mind will be needed.

      Su,
      Anji, well what was telling in the nek scene and yday was ANji telling Arnav just like Khushi is important to you, and then again she said, he already loves you so muchi is not possible to love you more. So somewhere in her mind here may be a thougth about not being important in her brother's life - in continuation of Arnav slapping Shyam saying you spoke bad about my wife.

      Thing is Anjali will never raise a finger against Arnav and Khushi either, no hurting or lashing out as such. So lets see

      Delete
    19. Su,
      U do ave a point,but i hope they clarify what he wanted to do to get that ASR wealth (becos none of his schemes are clear on what his plan is) or maybe this question goes into the famous black hole of IPK....

      What i am saying is its seems lame, Shyam wanted to come into RM to become a ghar jamai...wnated to pursue Khushi after her marriage to Arnav is broken...DUH??
      i mean in that sense...

      I can understand if they show, he intends to usurp ASR wealth thru some shenanigans...or whatever....chalo yaar chodo jahan leads ke scenes ki surety nahin hain wahan villain kya khakh karega...anyway his time is over....frankenshyam ke din pure ho gaye, i guess....just some useless rambling on my part...

      Delete
    20. Yes, Sandy.
      This is what I 've been saying from RB- that Anjali accepts and respects Khushi as the first priority in Chhote's life- she is OK with it, so long as Chhote is happy and will never ask him to choose btn his wife and her.
      She did show some bit of insecurity in the rose carpet scene, but that is expected- happens to women who are super attached to their bros-like MILs who feel they are being sidelined by dils- but in her case, it did not last long. Her love for Chhote won over her insecurities there.

      Delete

    21. They ARE in it together every step of the way ... which is why they will not fail. They CANNOT afford to fail and let Creepwa get away with it again ... it won't happen. And they're in it together ... Arnav will let Khushi have her head as long as he thinks what she does will work ... but if it shows the slightest sign of misfiring, he will withdraw, because they can't allow Creepwa to get the slightest bit suspicious. But yes, it will work in stops and starts, otherwise where is the fun?

      Re Anjali ... I think it's LONG PAST the stage where Anjali can ask Arnav to make a choice between her and Khushi. Arshi are now inseparable, together every step of the way ... she is very firmly the outsider here. They are keeping her in the dark about their planning for Shyam, he's not even trying to explain anything to Anjali because he knows she won't listen, unlike the rose petal scene when he tried to explain why she shouldn't get upset because he married Khushi only for Anjali's sake ... Anjali has seen his love for Khushi, the change in Arnav because of Khushi, a change she was unable to bring about for fourteen years. The stage of choosing between the two was the time of the first marriage - even then he chose Khushi over Anjali. Now the question doesn't arise.

      Anjali saying Khushi was doing massage to gain Brownie points from Arnav was silly, her insecure self surfacing briefly, but she corrected herself very quickly, Arnav can't care for Khushi any more than he already does. And Arnav never interrupted her to say that he will do anything for Di, as he usually does at such dialogues ...

      Sandy,
      'See even if they go OSO style, the villain was baffled, rattled but then his mind being hsarp he discovered the flaw in the plan. Khushi with a few wins may think thy are winning and that is where Arnav's cool mind will be needed.'

      I think exactly this will happen ... otherwise hero ki kya zaroorat hai? Arnav will let Khushi take the lead AS LONG AS he is confident about her plan ... and will watch like a hawk the progress. The moment he sees it faltering, he will pull her back and they will re-group. I just hope they have a good writer for this part, and don't make it lame and stupid. The two steps forward, one step back will make for good viewing, it will keep the audience involved ... and maintain the tension. The problem earlier was that villain was getting away with everything, now they shouldn't turn it round and make the heroes win in one swoop, that will be silly - ab tak kya kar rahe the. It has to be an even game, then only will it be entertaining.

      Delete
    22. Dia,

      in fact two steps forward, one step backward is a good storyline so that villain stays ahead but not too ahead before hero comes for the final scoop...it was the battering of brains all around that was not appreciated....by anyone, TRP audience, online or international aud

      'two steps forward, one step backward': I think this will give us a good story and a thinking hero- I hope they execute this track well.

      ASR did want to re-think this plan yesterday, K wanted to rush in. I like it that he is thinking at least now, and agrees with her so as not to hurt her feelings. I don't know if all this makes him Ahem Raizada, he seems to be doing OK for now, to me.

      Delete
    25. I don't think he will agree with her to spare her feelings ... he will agree with her as long as he thinks it might work ...
      I just watched the repeat, and when she tells him her plan, he thinks about it himself before he agrees. Now the painters coming in was a good idea, it was something he might very well do, it worked. How they pull off the glass pieces plan remains to be seen ... that might be the one he's doubtful about.

      AND OMGGG ... just watching the Behna show ... everybody hiding from Maanvi the secret of her Sangeet ... jeez, why couldn't they have dragged the cute moments out more in IPK??? Watching a pouting bratty Maanvi is no fun ... watching a pouty Khushi would have been so much better! That little scene with Arshi, and then Arshi-Akash was so cute, and lasted barely five minutes!!!
      *sulking*

      Delete
    26. In fact, Dia, the old scenes of IPK had the nuances so clearly spelt out in every scene....every glance held a depth of meaning...

      Just remembered the scene where Arnav congratulates Khushi and then she gets a phone call from Shyam...while he probably meant to be charitable before that call, he loses it completely after that becoming all rude and mean....really high points of IPK... so many of them...don't know where to start....and stop...can go on and on..

      And i remember after that epi when Anji comes back to his room to give him painkillers for his wound, the muttering that he does and checks himself when Anji questions...such passion in those scenes...there was "therav" in that moment, u can catch the pognancy..u can feel for both these people...

      I agree that we cannot go back to these emotions again becos the situation is different....but can't they slow it down a bit without slackening on the drama....is it too much to ask for?

      It was not rushed then....nowadays its like an Usain bolt race.

      Dia, these were my exact thoughts yesterday.When after IPK, the behna show comes on, we usually switch off the TV but it sometimes takes a min to look for the remote and in that i saw the scene that u described above. I felt...how silly are these guys but then realised that i am not liking this becos i don't watch this show, perhaps may have liked some drama of this kind in IPK becos we relate to the characters as if they are real life ones...whattay a loss!!

      Delete
    27. Dia,
      I should not have worded it like that.
      No, he'll not play along to spare her feelings- more like RESPECT her wisdom, since it has worked before when he thought it wouldn't- getting Payash together and her performance in the kidnap saga(where he himself had to send out sos to her- if someone calls that ASR Ahem, I can agree!)- I did not re-watch yesterday's epi- but I felt ASR looked UNSURE and decided to agree since he did not have a better plan. Something needs to be done- something drastic and since he cannot understand the way Di's mind works, maybe it will be better to listen to what K has in mind. After all, ASR can only think straight, and when it comes to decoding his Di, K is better.

      Delete
    28. Rekha,

      SOMH much!!

      Thehraav and nuances - u bet! and i was just seeing all those scenes you spoke of last night and thiking about how they had detailed the scenes then. I saw those moments last week with the will he wont her.

      Dia,

      I sure hope they have a good writer - not swami kinds but someone who can keep the audiene hooked in rooting for god, but still keeping us guessing.

      And yes her first plan Arnav okayed but the second one he has doubts. Actually the best thing to do would be to attack Di's supestition and corner Shyam through that. And send Mami for supervision of bitiya.
      Arnav can try and lure Shyam thru dropping pieces of talks with his lawyer - deliberately misleading and so on.


      And for stuff that hashappened - jo ho gaya samjho so gaya. Hoping for lesser missed chances and a tauter storyline. Less of walking and twitching.

  8. So what is Khushi's plan- a la Karz and OSO, innuendo and signs of his past misdeeds coming back to haunt Shyam and rattle him into confession ? :)

    I sure hope it is not that harebrained ...LOL

  9. Love the blog Diya ... my thoughts exactly ... they need Di to hear Shyam out his plans otherwise she will never believe anything anyone says.

    Looks like Khushi ji is going to enact "Baby's revenge" on shyam and make him confess... total nautanki!

  10. Was wondering,

    So how will Shyam make an automatic confession ans what is the one thing that will trigger it?

    And guys some ulta decode of the epi:

    Mami-NK
    M: Humaari toh kamar kas di khadk singh ..
    Man, what a dandaa, solid class lagaadi humaare show ki, channel and audience. No more pizzas, only dhoklas.
    M: Ab toh hum kabhi bhi aaram se so nahi paayenge
    Dang! no more snoozing and sleepwaling thru epis and what we dish out. This beating will make sure we stay awake and alert for a while

    Khuhi-Arnav
    A: Gone
    K: Good VLR himself removed the cameras, we wouldn't have found them all if we had looked and even then no chance we would have had to look really hard
    Thank God all the spolier accounts have been smoked out once and for all and the buZZing bee is gone by itself. With the TRP rising, the scanner from the channel too has gone off Phew!!

    K & A: Good now we can do whatever we want....Arnavji, I did not mean we had to do all this now. You thought I would do something like this. But this plan will not work. Why not? It is not a bad plan and you never know it may just work. Ever the gloomy one...*pout*
    IPK team / Gul thinking so now we again dish out what we want to. Well I don't think we should have ArHi moments for now. But what about the romantic suhaag raat? Oh they are all so in the mood for romance. Then what would be our next step after that? Nope , that plan will not work. Why ever not? We need to take teh risk and you never know it just may. This new track of Shyam expose will do teh needful. Why cannot you be positive? Rest of team mentally rolling eyes and saying 8sigh* explain taht audience likes love in time of strife not just love or just strife)They feel itna sweet not good for teh health of diabetic hero.
    (and strngth based selling book made a comeback in that scene)

  11. *rofl* Hope they got that hint ... NO MORE snoozing or sleepwalking through episodes ... neither the writing nor the direction nor the acting ... wake up, everyone!!!

    Sandy, Shyamu has to get trapped in a web of his own lies ... he did the first time around, but no one noticed ... or if they did, they haven't brought it out yet ... when he tried to say when he met Khushi the first time - was it at Payash wedding or was it when he got her a job ... he tripped up very badly there. So I would like for something of the sort to happen ... him to defend himself and make two completely contradictory statements.
    Abhi tak I cannot see the way ahead ... the first few steps may just start getting him a bit rattled, but Arshi have to be very careful not to arouse his suspicion ... if he thinks NK is after him, chalega ... he can concentrate on fooling NK and forget about Arshi.

    Let's see how the cv's take it ... this is just the start of the track. The kidnapping track went on for 6 weeks but that was because it HAD to ... this won't last so long.

    1. Dia,

      This will last at least a month. So I hope theyhave a taut story line ahead. Yes the start is always slow but hope they have steam left to keep going else people will not tune in this week and next.

      You know I was actually thinking that Shyam in a backlash of Arnav and Khushi getting married fiddles with the braks of the car they are to take. Akash and Payal take it instead and Payal is killed. It would have been a suitable way to end Payal if they are going to go the mamaji route.

      But yes if they plan to have her, then I want an actress and one who can bond with SI and give us those lovely jiji khushi moments. Now with hr missing they are missing on scope for sisterly bonding again post wedding. Khushi speaking of her good fortune in finding Arnav, teasing Payal being her jethaani and so on.

      You know I am ok with teh family no being involved at this point (someone mentioned it) but a dialogu of discussion b/w Arnav and Khushi wheren they agree to do so cos someone may accidentally let slip and they cannot have Anji get suspicious yet will help.

      Oh and one more time Khushi kind of speaks of plan when ASR is in mood, I want him to lose it with her and ell her now why is she being so hesitant and all after they are man and wofe and can she please stop thinking about others all the time...

      Delete
  12. so bulleting points for easy visibility, our shiddat list !

    *arnav, give khushi that bracelet that you were planning to give her before BFTP

    * we want arnav and khushi to go on a shopping trip.. for some raizada-worthy clothes.(for both of them! for one of the richest men in delhi, that man has pathetic clothes yaar! stitch him a new suit or two! and get khushi some pretty sarees/suits.. inspiration(sarees).. anjali in the first 50 episodes, (suits) madhubala.

    *yes, deepali is gone.GIVE a reasonable excuse for payal's absence.. it is okay.. we know casting takes time.. or are you trying to ignore that character from now on?

    "I WANT A PAYAL!!!! Bas, bol diya!!!

    Get a side actress who is happy to act dumb, but you can't do away with a character just like that. They did it with Mama, after making him witness to a few of Shyam's misdeeds, now they're doing it with Payal ... Hadd hoti hai, yaar! As it is, it's such a small cast, if you don't retain even the ones you have, how can you run the show? Barun, Sanaya, Abhaas, Daljeet, NK ... five people cannot take the show forward without collapsing out of sheer exhaustion!!! "-Dia

    *bring NK and Akash into the 'Secret Seven"... if not, give reasonable excuse!
    the Raizadas knows that shyam is vile..arnav accused him in front of veryone, and everyone accepted it.. now the only reason the family accepts shyam is because anjali suffered a miscarriage and wanted shyam with her.. if they know that shyam caused the murder, what will their reaction be?

    * bring ASR back into character.. he is Arnav Singh Raizada.. he does not need to go visit random tacky dholwalas to get proof. call aman to hire some detectives, install CCTVs of his own.. he is a rich business tycoon , not khushi kumari gupta dammit! dear CVs, please remember the arrogant smirk.. pretty please.

    *khushi is smart .. she can think on the go.. but that lands her in innumerable sticky situations.. why is arnav taking the same road?

    (cross posting on shiddat page.)

    1. J,
      Arnav usko kab bracelet dene wala tha?? kya bracelet? i dont remember that part!

      am really curious to see the new Payal..hope she is good..bechari ka kuch role nahi hoga but at least ek pretty figure toh hoga!!

      ASR has become boring naa?? woh bhi bewakoof nikla and i had such high hopes for him!!

    2. Jaya, Khushi ko bracelet ReCon kay baad hi milega dekhna.

      I would rather he sells those kaanch kay bracelets and buys new dresses for her.

      Random note: Redux closed today:(

      Delete
    3. redux closed.. means mods closed it? really? usski ye jurrat? was it because sathu dared to criticize the show instead of praising it and trying to find symbolisms in it?

      Delete
    4. Sandy, J, Dia....u guys have been at work while i have been sleeping...GUD WORK!!.....

      Happily saying Amen to all the shiddats.....esp get ASR back in his suits and crisp avatar....bahut ho gaya...dheela dhala ASR.....

      Delete
    5. Anita, he was looking at a bracelet and daydreaming (on his shaadi day) when dadi came in and ignited the BFTP. incidentally, i found the placement odd.. why would the groom have a gift for the bride? or for whom is the bracelet? but now, i see it was some symbolism-ic filler scene.

      Delete
    6. Jayu, Sathu closed redux re, she didnt want to see Aham Singh Raizada.....Waisay I am still not sure what you were trying to say,lol.

      So rest of the members will be hanging out at a new thread.

      Delete
    7. J,

      Their props team has misplaced that bracelet....now they have gone to get another one, just like the ma's kangans which underwent change from the time, Anji showed it to when Khushi wore it.....i was surprised when Dadi's bangles did not undergo change....pat for the props team...

      Delete
    8. and for the all important closeup of khushi's ankles during grihpravesh rasm, they forgot her anklets.. that was just such an important part of the story.. make that pat a little -no, a lot- harder.. make it a whack on the back!

      having enough people in the creative team.. 80 people, i think GH said once.. is indeed necessary. if someone does not remember continuity in the story from 4 months back, i can accept it.. what happens when they forget continuity from last week's track?

      he was in a car accident, he hit his head, bled from there... why was she not dressing THAT wound in the night? because that would obscure his face in the shot? silly excuses...

      Delete
    9. Jaya -- all relevant questions... their continuity sucks majorly ...

    10. J,

      Adding my power to shiddats. You see the detailing team likes their work cut out for hem - lazy buffoons!! BBE time to get that danda going again.

      And yes I was miffed that Khushi had no payal whatsoever in grihapravesh scene. Its like the BDs in he tree scene - handholding with shiny tattooed hands..yuck!!

      Delete
    11. That bracelet cannot have been a filler.
      Husbands do get gifts for their wives on the wedding night- expected from Arnav, who is madly in love.
      Kosten is, where did it disappear?
      Agreed, they did not have the exact setting to be giving gifts after their wedding- under the blanket also would have been cute. So, where did it go? Hoping to see it sometime in this track.

      Shiny tattoed hands!- OMG! It took me R&R wisdom to find out then that those were not San's hands. For a long time, after the epi, I wondered why they did not use sketch pens! duh!

      Do they pay the BDs by the scene length in the actual epi? Why else'd they make the bds so obvious?
      Even in kidnap- the rings were different and so on...
      Do they really want to know which is the actor and which is the bd? Tattoos!!!when in so many scenes Sanaya herself did not have mehendi!

      Delete
    12. "Husbands do get gifts for their wives on the wedding night- expected from Arnav, who is madly in love." yeah, right. what gifts he gave to lavanya, what gifts he gave to khushi..

      pheeka bracelet in a tiny giftbox..now somehow seems like a government worker in love.. reminds me of Surinder Sahni of Rab ne bana di jodi..
      where is the harward educated businessman who used to buy palaces just to break them down and make factories? now you have really made me sad :(


      but well, this story is a long way off from that story. i'm thinking of it as IPK season2.. i have a feeling season1 ended at that airport goodbye.

      Delete
    13. Somebody is having revenge on BS thru ASR...it seems...uske line kaat diye, kapde nahin de rahe hain....LOL

      But J, woh ASR who used to buy palaces to make factories was probably a figment of our imagination...he was there for a fleeting moment almost....but somehow that impact was so gud that the phangurls just managed to add to it...almost keeping that ASR alive in our memory....to this day, we expect him to surprise Khushi in some...idiot atleast buy some decent clothes for ur wife and self....

      Delete
    14. Jaya,
      SHIDDAT to all that ... especially the suits from Madhubala ... the only thing I like in that show! *rofl*

      And yessss, what I was thinking too ... why the HECK doesn't Arnav get his own set of CCTV's set up? NK did it during the kidnapping track, Arnav can't think of it? He has the means, where is the dimaag? Why the silly KKG type tricks? For Khushi they're ok, but he has to think big, he's a tycoon, for gods sakes!!!

      Oh and ladies, she DID dress his forehead wound ... ask Shyam, he has the footage ;))) Check his 4 screen shot. Editing lapse again ... Iss Editing ko kya naam doon???!!!

      Arey, Diamond bracelet tha, Jaya ... itna bhi bura nahin hai Arnav! I keep telling hubby I don't need big gifts, something small and sparkly like a little rock will do :)))

      Shwethu, I know you love Redux, but the girls there bug me! They're only bothered that Khushi should not come out looking more intelligent than Arnav ... he should be DA MAN!!! Which I also want, but that doesn't mean that she should continue being dimbo to massage his ego! By and large she has been smarter than him all through - his shatir dimaag only worked to keep her close to him ... which was the smartest thing he could do, actually! :D

      Delete
    15. J,
      Nahi yaar..it was a diamond bracelet, so say some...I thought it was sapphire...
      Well, he just gifted her the GH- nothing comparable to a palace, yet better than a govt worker.

      Have patience. (Grrr...Gul, you better show that bracelet and some nice lines to accompany it)

      ('Surinder Sahni of Rab ne bana di jodi..'Is this that serial where the girl gets married for a citizenship or something? Or the one where the leads have amnesia ? So much of crap on TV- why am I watching all these, just to get confused?)

      IPK season 2: heh heh...this is the 'new show' that LM has moved on to.
      I am just giving them some time, considering they had to build an entirely new track and change the story acordingly, for whatever reasons...and I had said this b4 too- I cannot demand that loops be closed any more, when they've clearly indicated they were made to change the story. Democrazy!

    16. J
      i don't remember that at all..have to watch that episode..

    17. Dia,

      ROFL on the little rock joke :) Last time I tried that one hubby said well you are an empowered woman so why not go for it like Sush did or better yet, get me a smartphone :S

      And yep forehead wound dressing was a total editing satyanash!!

      Rekha,

      Nahiiii that ASR was not figment of imagination. Unfortunately like all things Di, they are hell bent on showing love has changed him. I miss the bluetooth and Aman too.

      Shuck yaar "Jab woh ASR humaare paas hota hai toh hume use chood kar Arnav ke paas jaane ki jaldi hoti hai magar jaise hi door jaat hai toh sirf uske paas waapas jaane ka khayal rehta hai..!"

      Delete
    18. Sandy,
      LOL. As always, 'the perspective'- aap yaad dilaati hai.

      New tag line for the show- Aap kiske paksh mein hain? ASR ya Arnav?
      And SMS promo too- ASR ko ASR banke rehna chahiye, ya Arnav? Type 1 for ASR and.....

      Delete
    19. Sandy,

      True...
      That is why love is a simply complex emotion....

      All ipk dialogues up for ulta decoding now...gud one..

      Actually love changes people (situations are obv diff) but it does not have to change an person intrinsically...We always knew that there will be a tight rope walk between ASR and Arnav and frankly, its been there throughout and they always managed it well earlier...I guess the offscreen action is an impediment now...but there have been problems even without that part for some time now....

      Delete
    20. su, i meant the SRK movie.

      yeah.. little rocks gift me de de bitwa.. but if it was indeed a diamond (or any precious stone) bracelet, it would have come in a beautiful box.. not the ringbox that he had.

      anyway, i'm sure the CT forgot about it.. if they remember, it will be a gloatwa ve..

      sandy, your hubby has a shatir dimaag :)

      rekha, that ASR was indeed alive for about 50 episodes.. till diwali (i think. anyway,) the day that the army of servants disappeared from RM was the day ASR became bankrupt :D now he runs a shady real estate firm LOL

  13. biggest blooper of the day..
    shyam pulls out the camera from the tree.. and the cord with it has a USB port!! was it plugged into the tree, pray tell?

    of course, logically speaking..
    shyam has 4 cameras into the room(forgot the 4 screens on the laptop already?) he pulled off two. the bouquet one was gone with the decorations, i think.. where is the 4th?

    were the painters planning to paint the tree, by any chance?
    or the potted palm?


    dont want to show hands-on romance for fear of SP? show arnav pulling her into a hug... and closing the door (shoot from the outside, of course) then 2 minutes later, a thoroughly distracted khushi hurries out the door.. and arnav catches her hand, pulls he back into the room, straightens out her mussed hair.

    CT, pretty please?

    1. of course, dont give us 2 minutes of the closed door... show some nani/di/mami/NK/whoever scene.

  14. You know seeing them so thanda yesterday, There was this scene I really really really wanted to have them in.

    Scene from Dil se:

    SRK corners Manisha in the terrace, they both are arguing, suddenly one aunty comes and they are forced to hide behind the door...close too closee.....

    I wanted ARHI to have that scene during the farak padta hai sequence...both are arguing farak padta hai just like coffee ya toffee thing, mami comes to where they are..the above thing happens

    and all farak padta hai goes to anjali's kheer lenay and they are just too damn close and both are lost as to how each is feeling.

    *sigh*

    OM Bhaiyya and Parvati Bhabhi.......(OBPB from now on...will be adding YC..Young and cute wherever applicable)

      LOVED both your scenariops.

      Shwetha,
      The scene yesterday of ASR getting close to her and then going for the mobile- someone mentioned a similar scenario in SKD discussions that were going on in redux 2 days back! That was the first thing that occurred to me when I watched that scene.

      So, may be all these SKDs will come true.

      BTW,..duh...Who are Om Bhaiya and Parvati bhabhi?

      Delete
    3. They are among the pioneers of the saas bahu sagas....

      Om and Parvati were the leads of a show on SP years ago Ghar Ghar ki kahaani(i think around the time Saas bhi kabhie bahu thi was shown), the ideal beta-bahu...maryada purshottam ram kinda...their romance was thanda..Shweths can tell us more....

  17. Great post Diya!! I thought the same when I saw where Khushi and Arnav were hiding but hey if Shyam can hide behind a tree and not be noticed, why not Arnav and Khushi?? LOL

    I'm so glad Khushi spoke sensibly and realized its going to take more than that video to open up Anjali's eyes. Khushi is finally learning from her past. Loving the growth between her and Arnav and them working together

    NK and Mami's scene was funny, it brought a smile to my face so it accomplished its purpose of bringing humor and at the same time giving Khushi an idea. I am going to enjoy watching Shyam falling into the trap but will also expect to see things not go so smoothly for Arnav and Khushi.

    Hoping to see more romance especially since Arnav upset Khushi who looked adorable mad.
