So, the forum is buzzing with excitement after last night's episode...and rightly so. It defo was a real treat to watch. Sooo much has been said abt it...sooo many posts n thread abt it...so, i better not venture into that area. I'm not at all good at drooling...and hence, its better that I leave it for the experts of the forum. š³š
Coming to my reason of making this senseless post is;
When this show started, in fact, even before it started, a friend of mine and I used to spend hours n hour..making theories, exploring possibilities, tracks, sharing ideas...and since the time the tag line was disclosed, "nafrat paas aney na dey, mohabbat dur jaaney na dey"...we had our antennas set in that direction šš Our long talking sessions used to end with one conclusion...and that was...IPK is a story of nafrat...in which mohabbat will be woven until it completely covers the nafrat.
The show started with an intense hatred track...high voltage drama...the limits of hatred were broken. But along side...love was making a parallel move, making its way silently, seeping in the very foundation of the relationship of the lead couple, without even them realizing...coz on the surface, it was just "hatred". But there were times, when this love over-powered the hatred and made it presence show in the form of a pull, an attraction, some awkwardness n some (rather, loads of) flashbacks of the close encounters.
Now after what we saw in the recent couple of weeks, especially, in the last 2 episodes...its pretty obvious that love is gaining more n more strength...making the hatred go weak. Khushi and Arnav are now walking on a path, where one's happiness and/or grief automatically affects the other...distance b/w them is reducing...hearts are softening, ready to melt every minute, every second...heart beats are racing. When she says something, it gets imprinted on his mind n heart...and when he is not feeling well, she comes rushing to hold him. When she is fasting and hasn't eaten anything, he comes and hands her the dabba of food...and when his sister falls, she is there to give her support. She gave him a reason of laughing...a laughter that could melt even the strongest of hearts...and a laughter that he had thrown out of his life, or rather, that life snatched away from him at a very young age. And his same smile n laughter has given her a reason to change her perspective about him. Aren't these all the "defining" moments of a changing relationship between them??!
Its all going very smooth and after loads of ups n downs, the equation HAS changed. Arnav doesn't shout at her...and Khushi finds her heart beat go wild whenever her eyes even catch a slight glimpse of him. What a drastic change!!
However...I have a feeling and I am pretty sure, that it CANNOT be this easy n smooth. Hatred WILL bounce back.
This trip to Nainital will further reduce the distance (though i really hope there's NO romance and lovey dovey scenes...NOT THIS SOON, PLZZZ!!). It HAS to go slow...and i really hope that they don't end up showing Khushi silly n dumb.
This last week was dedicated to Khushi's dhak-dhak...it would be great if this Nainital trip shows Arnav starting to realize and somewhat accept how much Khushi, her care, concern, nature n closeness affects him. I think this is the perfect opportunity for both, Arnav and Khushi to find answers to the questions which their heart beats throw at them...esp. for Arnav to see what this girl means to him. Khushi, for sure would try her best to avoid Arnav...but the more she'd avoid...the more she'd end up getting close to him. I want her to realize that her thudding heart beats is not due to acidity š, but the credit for these erratic heartbeats goes to Mr. ASR. I really hope we get some work-related scenes...meeting n all that...with Khushi being a perfect replacement for La (already, in office also, La was good for nothing...i'm sure Khushi can do a much better job than her š)
In short, I really wish this outstation trip makes Arnav and Khushi see, realize and FEEL that sometimes the impression we make abt a person is just based is out of sheer haste, some unpleasant initial encounters, and on our "selective perception" abt him/her, which have every possibility of being completely WRONG. Circumstances have made that person put on an outer layer (intentionally or unintentionally), which doesn't let other's see the REAL person (good or bad) behind this layerā¦and its when we get close to that person n get to know him/her over time, then we realize that what a wrong impression we have had. I really hope ArShi, who have already started to see behind these layers...have started developing feelings for the REAL personsā¦ in this trip, begin to peel off these layer(s) to realize that how different the real one's are from the impression they had created and how much they matter to each other (quite philosophical, I knowā¦š³š).
Having said all this...sorryā¦ā¦ having blabbered so much..i'll come back to the point again.
I have a strong feeling that this smooth sailing is to make things more difficult for Arnav-Khushi in the tough times ahead, when they would be a classic example of fighting a battle b/w heart n mind. I sooo think that this is a CALM BEFORE A STORM...maybe, named; storm, typhoon, hurricane named Shyamā¦and/or their somewhere n somehow connected pasts. š, coz the forecast of this storm is there, since a long time...and it maybe just round the corner. How can everything just fall into place sooo soon? How can it just be that the distances reduce, feelings are realized and then ā¦..then WHAT?? Can it really be this easy, simple and smooth?? I really don't think so!
What I think is, now, with such reduced distance, increased closeness, realization, acceptance of sorts IF and when this storm will come and pull them apart...it would be extremely difficult for them both. The real test will begin THEN. Circumstances might make them come face to face yet againā¦but with this increased closeness and changed feelings that they have and are developed/ing for each other, the battle would be extremely complicated n difficult. By the battle I mean, a battle with their OWN selvesā¦and not with anyone else. The battle with other'sā¦they're a pro at fighting it. The more they'd try to hate each other, the closeness, the softness, the memories will haunt them...and i have a feeling that this storm will end up brining them on the same side, yet they would be miles apart. They would be close to each other...yet far away...and the mayhem of emotions would make things extremely painful for them (philosophical again š³š)
A helluva journey is awaiting ArShi and US. It would be very heart wrenching to see how love helps them conquer this battle again n completely take over the hatred. Coz hatred can be eradicatedā¦or is bound to be eradicatedā¦but a seed of love, once sowed in the heartsā¦no one can stop it from blooming into a plantā¦and for ArSHi the roots of this plant have already gained quite a lot of strength.
So, as they say, enjoy it till it lastsā¦coz I really feel, tables would turn pretty soon. Well, tbh, I'm quite excited to see all the sides of this table.
Sorry for this most stupid and senseless postsā¦but would really love to know what u guys think about whether its all good nowā¦or the storm is nearing?
