Hi dear,
How are you??? Wonderful update and loved every word you wrote and how aptly you have penned every sentence regarding Khushi's feelings. She is so distraught and lost and has no one to share her distress with. Loved the questions she asked Arnav about what he would have done, if the shoe was on the other foot. Great imagination ⭐️⭐️ and this is what the writers missed.😡
Eagerly waiting to read your next update. We are in August and I am confident that you are going to enthrall us with another one of your incredible update, shortly. 😃
Well that was one hell of an emotional roller coaster!
Err and also the beginning of this chapter had me cringing- Khushi acting like a typical depressed bahu.not that I expected her to be running around trees and singing..err moving on.
The Raizada family has this awful habit of alienating anyone who they don't think is worthy of being around them. I really don't know what it is about this family, does it really take 4 full grown women to dress a 6 years old boy or to make a guest feel welcomed at home?! Khushi's probably feeling the exact same way Lavanya felt when she was first brought to RM, Anjali and Nani would fawn over Khushi, using every possible way to tell Lavanya that she just didn't match up to their standards, and now apparently it Khushi that just doesn't live up to expectations. They want people to cater to their every whim and fancy, when someone takes care of you the way Khushi took care of the family how is it possible to look the other way and pretend that you don't see the hurt that she feels(granted these are the Raizadas and they when 5 months without noticing the tension between the newly eloped Arshi!!!). I wonder if this is what leads Manorma Raizada to become the way she is, it's obvious that the woman loves her niece and nephew! (I mean seriously who climbs that many stairs with a twisted ankle, when she could have just waited at the bottom for Anjali to finish her pooja) Why is it that the Raizadas can demand instant respect when it comes to the role they play in the lives of others but when it comes to Manorma, Khushi or Payal that respect has to be earned over years of snide remarks and side glances.
When a girl steps into her husband's house she doesn't expect to have to fight for a place in that home. A certain amount of izzat is expected; for goodness sakes Khushi got more love and respect when she and Arnav eloped.
Of course over time you're expected to build upon that bond, but what do you do when everyday little by little you become just another wall hanging? You try your hardest to be noticed, to take care of the family around you, but it's almost like the novelty of the "bahu" has worn off. Perhaps that's why Manorama Singh Raizada felt the need to be brighter, flasher, and louder than everyone else, in her attempt to be a cut above the rest and gain the approval of her family, it's come to the point where even her own husband turns his face away whenever she enters the room.
So, whose footsteps is Arnav following in?
This can't be behavior he picked up in the business world.
All 3 women(Manorma, Payal, and Khushi) have attempted to handle this situation in their own way, (granted they all face VERY different circumstances but the under laying cause seems to be the same- a self-righteous saas..?)
So why is it that everyone feels that Khushi hasn't done enough to gain the respect and love of her family? Did she not go through all of this after she and Arnav first got married??
Has she not proved to Arnav that she loves him unconditionally?
So when ARS turns around and decided that he's going to ignore his new bride, and pulls away from her emotionally like he did after Aakash and Payal's wedding poor Khushi is bracing herself to probably be treated the same way she was when Arnav forcibly married her, except now she has a baby with her too! Can she really afford to take that risk?
(I THINK PEOPLE MAYBE MISTAKING HER FOR ANJALIYOU KNOW THE WOMEN WHO DIDN'T GIVE TO HOOTS ABOUT HER CHILD UNTIL AFTER SHE HAD LOST IT?!)
Is this meant to be some kind of cycle where she constantly has to win over the family; shout at the top of her lungs that she's a person and it hurts her when another women's (an EX's!) child is compared to her husband about 100 times a day?
Does she have to constantly ask for her haq from her in-laws and husband?
Is that something you've seen your mothers, sister, aunts do?
Is that something that you have had to do?
That she wants love and attention too? Isn't that what Khushi is all about? The love she gives and receives?
"And yes. I was foolish enough to get that woman in our house. I heard that she didn't have a place to live and that too she had a little boy with her. I got them to stay. Yes I would be jealous having your ex at home like you said. Making Sheetal go away just because I will be jealous is not a right thing. But wasn't it your duty to ward off that jealousy with your love and dedication to me? Why would I be jealous if my husband showed me how much he loves me? Sheetal was your past! What you had to do was shoe me that I was your present and future. Was that hard to do?"And to everyone saying that Khushi shouldn't have invited Sheetal into her home or she should told Arnav of her insecurities ^^^^^^this!!!! Instead, when she attempted to talk to him about her insecurities he brushed it off as a joke, and then completely blew up on her. Khushi tried to speak to Arnav about what's going on at home, but he did the same thing with her as he did with his sister. He didn't clear matter's when he threw Shyam out of the house the first time nor did he talk to Khushi properly now. Maybe Khushi should have understood his silence like she once did, but that once again puts all of the weight of maintaining the relationship on Khushi. So tell me again where is the reasoning with ASR????(he also allowed a little boy to insult his wife- even if the kid wasn't in on the whole ASR's my daddy thing, he shouldn't have been calling Khushi anything but Auntyji frankly.)
As for Khushi defending the Raizada's and Arnav's actions against her family! WHY? What is she supposed to defend? That it's alright to treat your bahu's like dish rag's while the daughters of the house sit in front of the same piece of knitting for weeks on end!? I'm mean, seriously has anyone EVER seen Anjali do anything other than pooja? Something to help around the house???? yet Lavanya was expected to know how to do housework???? How is that not a double standard? Khushi and Payal do housework?? I'm not saying she has to scrub the house top to bottom but perhaps make lunch OR dinner? Cooking for the family that's something her majesty can do, right ???
I loved your metaphor about the broken picture frame- when people first said that Arnav married(2nd time) Khushi just for the physical intimacy and that he really didn't care for anything other than that, I defended him. But after his behavior during the shitall track(which I personal chose to ignore-since, like everyone else, I found the plot to be complete assassination of the characters) it makes me think that he didn't take this marriage half as seriously as Khushi did, yes he cared for Khushi but he didn't fully understand the commitment that he was making. He came back the night of his wedding for Khushi and her love, but that's not the same thing as understanding and accepting the commitment that they were both entering into. Of course with Arnav's past, the idea of commitment and his feeling towards it are distorted so while Khushi has taught him to love his experience with marriage was limited to that of his parents and Mama-Mami(and let's face it neither of these couples set the best example)
When it's all said and done, I agree that with some of the people here, perhaps Khushi could have mentioned to the family how uncomfortable the comparison between Arnav and Aarav made her feel. Or she could have told Arnav about the constant hints that Sheetal was dropping about Aarav's paternity. There were hundreds of ways that they situation could have been handled better(from everyone's behave) BUT right now Khushi's a scared mother!! Arnav pulled away from her to intentionally hurt her just like he did month's before, what's the guarantee that the min she or the baby do something wrong he won't pull away again? She's probably thinking that it's easier to end things now, then get hurt over and over again. I feel awful for Arnav, I do. But somehow his actions don't seem to line up with what he says. He calls her jaan, tells her he loves her, yes; but somehow in every situation he jumps to the conclusion that Khushi is in the wrong. Somehow in every situation Khushi is the one who's constantly hurt but how he acts (Fashion show in Lucknow, Shyam gate, Anjali's attempted abortion, Lisa walking out on a photo shoot, Diwali kiss.) Every time he loses control of a situations or his emotions get the better of him Khushi is on the receiving end of his out bursts.
Anyway, we shouldn't discredit her feelings, Khushi Kumari Guptas Singh Raizada may be one hell of a twisted bundle of emotions but she's not purposely hurtful and mean, whatever she's feeling may or may not seem justified to us, but I for one, am looking forward to seeing where this is going to lead!
