Thappad se darr nahi lagta Sahab... Pyaar se Lagta hai!


That's going to be the clarion call of Radhika for some time to come. 😊

My poor Radhu, how she was crying and crying 😭 😭 😭 in front of all those who were saying that she was lying, and nobody believed her. I could hug Neil baby a hundred times for always believing in Chashni. I loved the way he said "SAM!"... but right now he is in devdas mode, else like Shabbir bhai's time he would have given his peace of mind to Sam, about treating Radhu the way she did today.

Hats off to Kashmira Irani for Sam's portrayal. She was very good in her acting. I actually felt sorry for her. She is so badly infatuated with Arjun, that she can believe any vile thing that all those people who she never ever liked, said to her. I saw her clutching at straws today... from her heart she wanted to believe all those things about Radhika, because somewhere in the corner of her heart she herself has begun to believe that probably Arjun does not love her.

She knows that he pursued her, proposed to her, and is now even marrying her ... but he has never ever said that he loves her. He has not professed undying love for her. That thappad was her childish way of reassuring herself that all is well in her world, and that she will do anything to keep it that way.

But as I said... Radhika has the courage in her to say "thappad se darr nahi lagta Sam, ... pyar se lagta hai."

yeh thappad tumhe bahut mehenga padnewala hai Sam. You yourself with your own hands have today put an unsurmountable distance between a friendship that was so precious to you once. If there is anything that Arjun detests it is disloyalty, and he has seen that in you today. You have shown to him today that you are very weak and you fall at the sound of the first problem. You could have won him over, if you would have said, "mera arjun hai hi aisa ki sab ladkiyaan uspe fida ho jaaye" and behaved maturely and handled Radhika's doubt.

But by slapping her Sam achieved two things that are going to cost her terrible... 1. Arjun can't stand seeing Radhika cry. (His sixth sense about whatever happened today perked up the moment Radhika started crying. Arjun knows that Radhika does not lie, and he knows that other than the part of Nandini being responsible for the Market fire all she said was 100% true. Add to it Bonnie and Saral and his belief that the market thing may also be true just got cemented.) Sam lost Arjun today.

2. Radhika, will distance herself away from Sam once she sorts out the Arjun Nandini interference in Sam's life. She would do anything to keep Sam safe, but once she knows she is safe, she will remove herself from the scene. And with that Sam would have lost her bestest and most loving friend.

...and Sam this time its not going to be easy to get Radhika back in your life. I am just waiting for that day when this happens.

****

But fingers crossed... I am hoping that it is this very thappad that can help bring Arjun and Radhika together at some point in the future. Because we all know Radhika is going to hate Arjun after this, and she is not going to budge an inch in giving him the satisfaction of knowing that she too is in love with him... not for long, especially now that Sam has gone and said that Radhika did all this because she wanted Arjun for herself.

I feel Arjun will suffer hell at the hands of a wife he loves immensely, because she will not allow herself to reciprocate the same feelings back to him. And Sam will help him win Radhika's love in the future when she comes to know the truth, as her redemption for that one moment when she decided to trust the whole world but not the friend who gave her back her mother.

Iss thappad ka karz unki friendship pe udhar rahega! 😭

I think this is a great show and today's episode, has actually cemented the occurance of the above possibilities. And I for one am dying to see Arjun being punished when his love gets thrown back in his face umpteen number of times, till Sam helps him win Radhika's love.

It has to be Sam! Cause today she has unknowingly put Arjun in a prison of his own making. Radhika is never going to believe in his love, and will never allow herself to even say that she is in love with him, because she will be afraid that all that Sam said today would become true. She'd rather be in a loveless marriage and pursue her dreams - because at least they don't betray her, like all those that she believed, did.

Ardhika may get married at the end of the week, but they will have put each other in a prison where both of them can go forward or backward, because of what Sam said today. Arjun loves Radhika too much to want her to do anything she does not want to do, and Radhika won't allow herself to love Arjun, because she would want to prove Sam wrong... So it will only be Sam who can set both these star crossed lovers free to find their happiness in each other.

Till then we in the audience can expect lots of push and pull romance... lots of tugging, lots of frustration between Ardhika... while Radhika sticks to her clarion call and irritates the hell out of Arjun! 😳😛

Goes to buy packets and packets of pop corn for the long joyride. 😆😉😛 ... Its gonna be the most interesting one in years to come.

Great post! And I do agree. This thappad will change a lot of things. Now, the Sam-Radhika friendship will be stained, hopefully the misunderstanding will be cleared soon. I said this somewhere else too, but Arjun's weakeness is Radhika's tears. Now, when Radhika is lonely and distraught, Arjun will not only feel guilty, but will try lending a hand towards her. The only thing is now, Rads despises Arjun because she knows his sister had something to do with her dad's shop being burnt. I really wish that Arjun gets to know the truth and apologizes to Rads. It'll be pretty cute so see a scene like that.

The actors did a fantastic job today! 👏


I also feel like I'm the only one who doesn't want ArDhika to get married NOW. I want them to get married aaram se, without haste or hate. If ArDhika get married in a span of a few days instead of SamArj, Sam's friendship with Radhika will not on deteriorate, but also Sam will think that she was right about Radhika liking Arjun!

I do want ArDhika to get married, but only after they fall in love, and with everyone's acceptance and love. Let's see what happens though!

I watched parts of today's episode... and my quick thoughts are below:

1) the Slap though uncalled for, was necessary to bring the divide in friendship and move the story forward. I am actually happy it happened because like you said "yeh thappar bahut mehenga pare ga" sab ko.

2) Arjun's antennas perked up when Nandini kept saying "are you going to blame me for this too... bla bla" ... he had this look like wait Radhika doesn't lie and why would she lie now. So although he was mute mostly, he will question all those people Radhika tried to get the truth from (including his dear evil sister).

3) the pre-cap was very interesting ... i really want to watch tomorrow's episode.

I know people loved NEil today but i was actually disappointed in him ... he just said "SAm" .. lol.. but like you mentioned he is still in devdas mode - could've been all the alcohol in him so he couldn't react fast enough, lol.
Also, as you mentioned - the Arjun-Radhika love story will be awesome to watch after all that went down today!! 😊

Wow! That would make a hell of show to watch.

Wish the cvs think on the same lines. How Arjun tries to win Radz over and Sam tries to make amends will make a great track.

But I think Samrat needs to be here for that. His plane getting 'delayed not cancelled' doesn't sound very encouraging. Can't understand why he left in the first place knowing his association with Nandini in the past. Surely, he hasn't bought all the bilge she spouted at the engagement? I should think he's more worldly and street smart than that!

I think Nandini made the worst mistake of her life yesterday. She grossly underestimated Arjun's love for Radz. I wish radz had mentioned Rana's name in front of him. That would have given Arjun a shock as no one present at the party other than he and nandini knows him. Anyway, he's going to finally put his thinking cap on and add up correctly. His rushing off to see Radhika could be because he wants to apologise to her.

Something is going to happen tonight (the show's timeline) that's going to change Sam and Radz lives. Sam and Arjun's marriage is not going to happen, we know that. But why, is the million dollar question.

1 Does Samrat arrive and endorse Radz's suspicions and Sam withdraws from the wedding?
2. Does Arjun back off realizing that he can't go through with it and breaks all relations with Nandu?
3. Will radz be on a revenge mode and set out to teach Arjun and Nandini a lesson?

Whatever it is, it will happen soon as the wedding day has arrived. It will be fun to watch. and I've made my batch of popcorn at home.
