I know many ppl here are very disappointed with the episode and believe the track is moving in circles.. but I think not. These are my points

1. There was much speculation on Friday as to what exactly ASR meant when he said to himself 'mein hone nahi doonga' in the car. For somebody like ASR, who has been so sure of himself, so aggressive and so successful in his career, it is not an easy matter to let a chit of a girl (that's what ASR thinks.. 😆) affect him so deeply. So, my dearies, he is not going to suddenly fall on his knees and try to woo khushi.. naaah no way! He is going to fight it all the way. So what he said to himself was he WONT let himself be affected.. in other words he will try harder. By doing this, I think the CVs have ensured a strong continuity in ASR's character. This is how he will react. I would be disappointed if he suddenly turned colours.. .ASR's transformation HAS TO BE painfully slow, realisation will come, but it will come to him inch by bloody painful inch!😛

2. When confronted with a bad likeness of Khushi in Lavanya's silliness, he loses it.. again, and almost blurts out the reason why. That again, is a great scene.. because a. it shows how much he is fighting against and b. it shows how deeply he is affected.. in other words how futile his fighting is.

3. I love the way Khushi feels comfortable enough to barge into his room and tackle him whenever she feels like.. 😳 she doesn't realise it but here is where we see how subconsciously she feels she has the right to do so. Again, this is a point in favour of the CVs who are careful to develop and remain true to Khushi's strong character as well. She is no weakling our chamkeli and that is why ASR is so passionately attracted to her. In some ways, he sees a reflection of his own strength of character and integrity in her.

4. His apology is the only way he knows to apologise.. for him it is a GIANT LEAP to actually traverse the distance to Lavanya's room, apologise to her and of course ankhon ankhon mein apologise to Khushi as well. Remember inch by painful inch... this is one inch forward. And his discomfort at Lavanya's physical gestures is quite obvious.. but he hasnt come to the stage yet where he will recognise that he is unfortunately using her as a pawn. For ASR, life is now one confusing mess where all he wants is to be rid of this agonising pain in his heart.. a heart that feels like lead whenever he sees Khushi's huge eyes and is reminded that she is no longer his. And he is a flawed character who is unable to understand his emotions.. and he will not in a matter of a few days. Give him time guys and give the scriptwriters some credit.
I think they are staying true to the characters they have created. From my side, Kudos!!

Looking forward to some masti tom.. I think both ASR and Khushi will be spying on their siblings and will bump into each other. 😆 bets??

I totally disagree with your analysis of today's episode. What we have seen today, has been repeated numerous times in the past and shed no light or moved the story way in any way forward. It was the same old drivel of Arnav shouting at Khushi who is in tears Haven't we seen this before?
He shouts at La for being an imitation of Khushi and then apologises? Have we not seen this before?
Khushi has always..been able to tell arnav what she thinks of him and today was no exception..Haven't we seen that before?
I don't know if we were watching the same show today...😲

Thankfully I found a post reflecting my opinions. I don't think it was a step back but a step foward. That's because Arnav realised he can't go on hurting Khushi and treating her like nothing. I mean c'mon after marriage he can't go on hurting her and expect only love in return right? So he's like starting his mend his ways slowly like a snail. I wrote something similar in another post.

Thanks for the post.!! Superb pointers!

My previous post:
I think the entire shouting then sorry thing was very subtly played out. When Arnav saw La dressed in Khushi kind of attire it irked him because he was already angry with himself about his behaviour and maybe promised himself to not be affected by Khushi. But in came Lavanya as a reminder of the person he is trying to run away from. He blew up as usual. Khushi understood why he was angry and when to clear out La's name (why the hell does she have to be so good?) Seeing Khushi's words cut his already wounded heart and he did what he could do the best,lash out at Khushi. Shouting at Khushi has become as natural as breathing to him so he didn't think twice. When he did he felt bad and let Khushi talk and recreate the barrier between them. But he realized he has hurt her too much today so he had to apologize to her. The ASR in him would not let him bow down to Khushi because of his ego and therefore he used his shield La again to convey his apologises to Khushi. The time he actually looked at her and say sorry was poignant. He wanted his sincerity through his eyes but Khushi isn't as complicated as him and seeing La wrap her arms around him hurt her even more and she walked away.

Totally looking forward to the coffee date track. Need some light moments now.

The episode was better than most for many reasons:-

1. ASR's anger at LA and his almost admission and unsaid words that tantamount to , "Ek tho main aisay hi control karnay ki koshish kar raha hoon..." and then you show up in KKG dress, rubbing it on my face and reminding me of her. So yeah! I am mad as hell at you for that. Please, remove all reminders of her from around me.

2. KKG is not afraid of ASR. She is truly his intellectual match. This is what this numbskull needs to bring him back to humanity.

3. KKG succeeded in softening him up. He apologized. And the apology was as much meant for LA and as for KKG, if not more so for KKG. His eyes were fixed on her when he worded his apology.

4. Anjali has stopped gushing over her husband and is now slowly asking him questions. Shyam's days of freedom and unexplained absenses are over. He will need to shape up for his rani sahiba. Perhaps, this will drive him to make fatal mistakes.

5. Payash track is moving forward. This will be a nice twist in the mix. I think KKG is up for another round of battle of wills with ASR. It will be fun to watch.

I agree, it was better than average and I do not expect a confession for atleast another 2 months.

I agree with you completely - today's epi had to be this after the high of last week including the ME.

1. He is going to fight it all the way. So what he said to himself was he WONT let himself be affected.. in other words he will try harder. ASR's transformation HAS TO BE painfully slow, realisation will come, but it will come to him inch by bloody painful inch!😛

2. When confronted with a bad likeness of Khushi in Lavanya's silliness, he loses it.. again, and almost blurts out the reason why. That again, is a great scene.. because a. it shows how much he is fighting against and b. it shows how deeply he is affected.. in other words how futile his fighting is.

Yes, ASR was fighting hard - especially with LA in Khushi type dress - makes him realize he cares too much for Khushi -- and hates the fact she is not his anymore!!

3. I love the way Khushi feels comfortable enough to barge into his room and tackle him whenever she feels like.. 😳 ... She is no weakling our chamkeli and that is why ASR is so passionately attracted to her. In some ways, he sees a reflection of his own strength of character and integrity in her.

I also felt she does not leave him alone if he closes himself to others around him - she will open the door of his heart and gently but firmly explain her POV -- and then close the door - and he has no recourse but to open the door of his heart himself - cannot lock or close himself out from the world!

4. His apology is the only way he knows to apologise.. for him it is a GIANT LEAP to actually traverse the distance to Lavanya's room, apologise to her and of course ankhon ankhon mein apologise to Khushi as well. Remember inch by painful inch... this is one inch forward. ...

So true.

Looking forward to some masti tom.. I think both ASR and Khushi will be spying on their siblings and will bump into each other. 😆 bets??

I waiting too for this. Payash fits as Mamiji is moving fast - she has been waiting impatiently long for Akash's wedding. I only wish LA realizes Arshi love.

i agree with the TM.
we cannot compare arhi to other couples on TV. they both have emotional baggage. i liked todays episode bec it was clear that they both love each other deep down and are subconciously aware of the love. but both for diffrent reasons cannot act apon the love they feel

- khushi cannot bec she feels obligated by her family. her family took her in need and adopted her gave her the life she had and she cannot refuse (what she belives ) is a request from people who become her family when she had none left. so she always rejects asr. but today we saw that she loves him and knows he is mad only bec of her. she gets him completely while the rest of the family including anjali are clueless abt arnav's motivations. and not to mention she is always butting in to his business... like only a wife would. following him to his room and saying "what do u think ur doing?"

- Arnav on the other hand also loves khushi but he doesnt have family holding him back he has his ego and painful past. he cannot get emotionally affected by anyone. it scares him how much khushi effects him its more than anyone ever has!! he does not know how to react and thus becomes frustrated ... which is what is shown today.

i love how they have this secret deep relationship with each other. and the cvs stay true to the theme of the show. they cant live with each other nor without. i do feel bad for the other characters that are being crushed under their struggles. one is la and we all know the reasons and to be honest shyam is also slighted. i mean khushi doesn't know he is pure evil. she doesn't give a second thought to her so called "fiancee" and keeps going to the house of her secret lover...

Totally agree.
I will say that some portions of the epi were indeed boring but the La and Arnav scene really brought in some new discoveries. Arnav apologized to La in such a humble way! Isn't that something totally out of the ordinary? 😳 He even apologized to Khushi for crying out loud. How can the scene be boring from any angle?
There has been a drastic change in Arnav. The only thing left is the realization of love. That will bring out an alternate personality of his.
