IP REDUX ; The Kushotic Moves !!

Tanthya,

Fantabulous post as usual. You nailed all the scenes so beautifully especially the "Karma is a bitch" part. Now he will know, how it feels.

Yes, the CVs are the most wonderful team. I bow to them. 👏. How, I was flabbergasted by the way the episode moved but Khushi's one sentence "Hamare liye humari shaadi ka bahot mahatva hain" that "Marriage is very important to me" changed the whole scene. This girl is so amazing, how did I forget, how important marriage is for her. We had one whole track on that.

My analysis below:

Arnav must be dreading the moment when he blurted out that one sentence "Mere Dhukh ka kya?". From that moment, Khushi is like a dog who has scented a bone. And, why not? She is a such a happy go lucky girl , one who leaves sadness behind, an absolute optimist. She is a person who will go bonkers if any of her actions even unintentionally hurt someone. She is person who went to the lion's den, her nemesis to apologize just because she had hurt him (like when she threw tea on him). For her, to be responsible for this "Dukh" is unthinkable. She just cannot fathom what has hurt ASR. There is only one thing she can come up with, when she puts two and two together, but that answer is not possible because "How did he find out?" . This is the answer she is pestering Arnav to give.

But the most amazing part about this is whole thing is, how well she understands Arnav. Does she even realize it? His actions have put everything that's important to her, in a peril, but she knows him enough to be confident, that whatever he did, was because of the "dukh". She knows him enough to know, he will never do anything to hurt her, unless and until, he is provoked; he will never to do anything to hurt his family, unless and until, he feels justified. Her question has changed from, "Why did you marry me?" to "What hurt I have given you?" , The only thing she can think of is Shyam, but she cannot blurt it out because "what if she is wrong" and hence the evasion technique.

Arnav looked so exasperated with her, his cutting the plant with the intention of cutting this thing at the root, his "mein theesra raastha choose karunga" that "I will choose the third road..." was all means of cutting her pestering at the root. But everything changed when she said, "Ki shayad aap sochte ho..." that maybe "you are thinking.". For a minute he looked so hopeful. It was like for a second, all his Christmases came together, as if may be he was wrong, and it was just his thinking that she loves Shyam.

Today, she did not walk out of RM, with the intention of leaving but with the confidence that her husband will bring her back and in the process make sure that everything will be fine. How very innocent of her!!! Is it really a wonder that Arnav and Shyam are crazy about her? Her outlook of life is one thing that must be a big change for these two cynical people. I hope, in their fight with each other they do not destroy the very thing that attracted them to Khushi.

I really applaud the CVs to show us that though Khushi married Arnav for Payal, though it was nothing like the marriage she envision; for her,Arnav is her husband, good or bad, caring or ruthless, he is her's for life and she will always be with him.

Another similarity that I saw was, whatever bad treatment Arnav gave Khushi, he hated it when someone else spoke bad to her or about her. Similarly today, whatever names Khushi calls Arnav, however miserable she makes him, how much ever she irritates him, she feels justified, but she could not tolerate it when someone else was doing it. Is that because she loves Arnav or is that because he is her husband?

Another connection that can be made here is that when she found out about the Shyam fiasco, she left him in the middle of the road for Anjali, his wife and today she left him in the middle of the road for Arnav, her husband. She choosed marriage then and she choosed marriage today. When the time comes, she might have to walk out of RM because of Shyam but she will always leave him in the middle of the road. Then, like the precap showed, she will start a life with a new smile with her loved ones but with the hope that her husband will come for her, banish all the hurdles and take her with him.

Payal and Aakash

You know one thing that I remember from Doodleberry's post a while back. She said that Aakash will initially not be able to forgive Payal for the Shyam fiasco. But today I wonder, if and when, that is revealed, will Aakash support Payal again? Even then Khushi will say that it was her fault, that she was the one who couldn't do it, that Payal had told her to tell the truth. Will Aakash be able to say then that it was just a mistake? Will he be able to keep the promise of making sure there are no tears in her eyes, when those very tears are caused by Payal herself? His support today confused me, was this support because he felt that his mother was wrong or was it because Payal was his wife. The answer to this question will go a long way in understanding his stand in the coming revelation. I think, I agree with Doodleberry, initially, he will let her go because she did not trust him enough to tell him the truth, but later on he will forgive her as she forgive him for his mistake.

Arnav Smirk😍

God, is he really from this world? Today, when Khushi told him that Aakash supported Payal, he was surprised and I think a little happy. But with her ongoing torrent, I could actually see the wheels turning in his mind, he donning the ASR cloak, to calculate and manipulate his opponent. His smirk was exactly, like a lion who had scented a prey, who relishes challenges, who thrives on them and he used their age old tactic, totally cut down the confidence of the opponent.

Just remember, Mr Arnav Singh Raizada, Khushi has always been able to clean bowled ASR , it's Arnav she cannot checkmate.

PS: How can Arnav sleep so "Aaramse" on bed when his lady love sleeps on the floor outside? But looks like, marriage is affecting Arnav too, else why would Arnav bitwa miss his wife? Also, does Arnav wakes up before Khushi everyday?😍

Note to CVs: Use body doubles, but atleast make sure the BD's hair is straightened like Khushi and not curled.

Any thoughts on, "What "theesra raastha" will he choose when this whole thing blows in his face?" I loved the way he said this though.

Updated:-

Tant, lovely synopsis and girl, you even compared the two scenes??? I am left with nothing; but, loved it thoroughly. Seriously I am glad the story moved forward that was kinda at halt but I guess from now on it will be ok slowly and steadily. As usual you picked the right points in today's episode. Its TANTASTIC. 👏 👏 👏

Truthfully speaking, I didn't feel excited at all for the episode and since analyzing has become a job for me so I am writing. Frankly, today's episode in spite of the story moving forward was very boring for me. There are some scenes that were pathetic as well as illogical. I mean Khushi leaving RM and that too such mundane excuse of "Arnav will give you the answer" was a NONSENE that really didn't go down my throat. Imagine Khushi is in a position where she is still not accepted by either of the families and the creative team depicting this instance as a hubby-wifey fight??? 😡 😡 😡 I mean don't you think this logic is pathetic??? Just so that the story needs to move ahead and some moment between the leads they need to show during Holi episode, they have pulled this string. The only saving grace here is the trio fight that's started with Abhaas resuming to shooting. Otherwise, I DO NOT see the pain, intensity, anguish in the current scenarios. The trio is way too busy with the SPA rehearsals and the creative team has failed to pull up the story line with the other characters. Even if ASR doesn't come to Gupta house tomorrow, the creative team should make Khushi at least to share her fear with the ladies. I guess that is just my wishful thinking.

Well March 8^th is International Women's day and I so wish that day, the episode to be dedicated to all the women or to be precise it belong to Khushi's Power. I would love to watch how she wins the challenge that day against Arnav. Well one thing just notice here, Khushi thinks Arnav might know of her engagement with Shyaam which had hurt him and that's why he married but she is not seeing the other side of the coin as, why will the news of her engagement with Shyaam hurt him??? Only because Shyaam is Anjali's Husband??? Then why he is not punishing Shyaam but Khushi??? A person is hurt only when he has weakness towards someone. In that case, she should come to a conclusion that Arnav has some affection towards her and that she is capable of hurting him; which is a BIG DEAL for Arnav Singh Raizada claims to have NO HEART. Whatta irony???

Btw, sometimes I feel good to see that CVs actually think outside the box the way we think. Yeah, I remember when the discussion of Aakash supporting Payal in the family drama came up, the unanimous decision that we all members came up with is for a change we want to see that happen and in turn that will boost Khushi to live up to the challenge thrown at ASR. But, then we all were taken a back for a moment and said, how much we want to see that happen, but, alas, we don't see that happening as it is a Star drama. Boy, am I glad that happened??? I loved loved loved it. Though I know it's only short lived and Aakash will support Payal and Khushi in small petty issues and I still firmly believe he will NOT support Payal on the BIG Shyaam fiasco later on. It is a very BIG Deal for the Raizadas and if Aakash supports Payal in that, even how much he loves her, it will be little awkward to accept as a brother.

See the irony in the so called infamous "Kheer" segment??? This is believed to be a good ritual where the newlyweds distribute sweetness in the family with materialistic sweetness, implying to start a new life with happiness. But, here we see the couple who have only bitterness within themselves is blessed to enjoy the sweetness and in turn proves their future to be sweet in nature whereas the couple who currently are very much in love didn't not even get to taste the sweetness materialistically proving there will be hard and tough roads ahead. I seriously applaud the creative team to keep their "Passion for Symbolism" intact even in this odd bland episode. 👍🏼

Talking about BD, today at least we can see the BD was limited to an extent but I hated Sanaya's BD in the Lounge area with Naani and Anjali. Even if they wouldn't have shown it would have been OK. But, that was PATHETIC.

As Tant already described the "Middle of the road" and the ladies' interrogation scene I will not go into details. I liked the "Middle of the road" details but yeah I disagree with you Sweety on the ladies' interrogation scene. Yes, "Karma is a Bitch" but it has NOT become the one yet. This is just the trailer and it will be bitch when finally Khushi will leave permanently and that day it will be PAYBACK. Wedding day, he made Khushi facing alone the wrath by tying the knot and the final it will be ASR facing the wrath by Khushi untying that knot. Now, the world is viewing it as just a tiff between the "Gutur Goo Love Birds".

Today I will keep the analysis short and only will talk what I felt about the "Triangle" that's been formed today.

When the terrace showdown happened I said we are heading towards Man v/s Man and Man v/s Woman fight. Now, we finally are witnessing the triangle that's formed. Let us see how. All the vertices belong to Arnav, Khushi and Shyaam respectively. There are 3 distinct fights happening but yet they are interconnected.

1. Arnav ' Shyaam fight:- It had already started

2. Arnav- Khushi fight:- It started today.

3. Khushi Shyaam fight:- It started today.

Now let me talk about the players here:-

Shyaam:- He is currently situated in the apex of the triangle. The reason for the entire misunderstanding and he played his cards very properly. For Arnav, he is using Khushi as the "BAIT".But after today, he is going to use "Arnav" as the bait for Khushi. Right now, Shyaam has couple of jobs at hand.

1. To convince Khushi, and for this he is going to be lethal for Arnav. That's my opinion. This I derived because Khushi mentioned this marriage as her prime priority.

2. To convince Arnav, that Khushi indeed loves him. Shyaam has already won this card but the moment he sees some shakiness he will use his precious mouth again. Today's car ride will be one example he will use against Arnav himself and turn in his favor.

3. To Convince Anjali, now here lies his biggest fear. He cannot afford to lose her vote of confidence for Anjali controls Arnav emotionally; means Arnav's weakness is in Anjali. Because to stay as a player in this game his biggest "ACE" is Anjali for Arnav. Khushi on the other hand according to him will support Anjali's divorce but right now that status has also changed, thanks to her pregnancy.

Arnav:- Arnav is battling with both Khushi and Shyaam distinctively. He started the fight as a BROTHER but is playing now as a LOVER. For Arnav, his biggest fear is Anjali and her baby. But, he had his ACE with him in the form of Payal's wedding and that seems to be losing its hold on him. The best he did was turning Shyaam's "Strength" or simply "BAIT" as a "Threat"; Whereas Shyaam is using Arnav's "Weakness" as his "Opportunity" that's Anjali and her baby. Perfect SWOT analysis. 👍🏼

Now, Arnav has couple of jobs on hand. He will start misunderstanding more regarding Shyaam and Khushi relationship added with Khushi's threatening to break the wedding and Shyaam dropping Khushi at Gupta's. But, the game will be fun when Khushi will play it against Shyaam leaving Arnav more confused in the relationship. In the meantime, Arnav will have to milk the snake as he did yesterday in the kitchen. Hence, as of now the weakest player seems to be Khushi but it is actually Arnav Singh Raizada.

Khushi:- If you look at the third vertex, its seems to be the most weakest and its Khushi. Right now, Khushi has actually NO ACE to play his cards rightfully. But, her biggest ACE is she "HERSELF"; her innocence, her honesty, her fighting spirit, her positivity. She started out as "Bait" but will end up as the biggest "PLAYER", much like a dark horse in any game. Let's see the jobs in her kitty. Payal issue, resolved as of now at least to stay in the game against Arnav and Shyaam. Then comes the Gupas and Raizadas, it's not going to solve soon. The irony is both the families will be resolved once her battle with Arnav is resolved; hence it depends on the result of Arnav-Khushi battle. Now, the irony here is "The truth" is Khushi's "Trump Card" to gain the "Lover" Arnav but at the same time it is the "Fear" to lose the "Brother" Arnav. Like I said earlier, "Shyaam trapped Khushi and Guptas" will be her saving grace against "Lover Arnav" but at the same time "hiding the truth from Anjali" will be her losing the battle from "Brother Arnav".

Let's see the game plan:-

1. Shyaam will in turn take this chance of "Arnav throwing Khushi to Guptas" start instigating and irritating Arnav more.

2. Arnav will be easily instigated here as Khushi is already threatening him of leaving which will be adding fuel with Shyaam's verbal instigation constantly, in turn increasing the misunderstanding.

3. On the contrary, Khushi will try to prove her innocence and that too in Shyaam's presence that I sensed after the car ride today which will leave Arnav more confused and Shyaam more restless.

4. This will lead to another major showdown between Khushi and Shyaam with Arnav witnessing this time also but the outcome will be exactly opposite with Arnav learning the truth of Khushi being trapped by Shyaam and at the same time Khushi learning the reason of Arnav's sudden wedding proposition.

This should make Khushi shocked to find Arnav's low judgment of Khushi's character traits which will strengthen her judgment to leave him for as Mahatma Gandhi said "The real ornament of woman is her character, her purity".

And at the end it will be a tussle between brotherly love and husbandly love for the mighty Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada. Now here comes the "Karma is a Bitch". What a PAYBACK???

Thanths beautifully written as always ...🤗

I loved today's episode and the CV's deserve a round of applause.. truly I had hoped the kheer incident would not dishearten Khushi giving ASR the upper hand but they played it quite differently they portrayed that as her strength..Akash's building irritation finally erupted today even if it was in a calm manner but he finally spoke up for his wife.. and stood by her as the rock she could lean on hence forward.. Loved Khushi's expressions in this sequence..gradually transforming from concern and an urgency to clear the air.. to admiration for Akash and a sudden realization that her sister has found someone who will stand by her through thick and thin.. giving her an opportunity to deal with her husband..

Loved Khushi today.. and I just have to add I loved her apprehension mixed with her comical comments especially oh my he has a weapon..😆😆... this scene was symbolic of Khushi's growing audacity and her unwillingness to tolerate his silence any further..she openly gave him an ultimatum yes he did not take it seriously yet it intrigued him nonetheless.. I loved that final snip as she calmly crossed her arms and demanded an explanation.. he turned around not fully closing the scissors similar to his heart which has never completely accepted K could be guilty of deception.. ASR was bang on as he went from a sense of fury at being questioned to an expectancy in his eyes as K slipped up before she proclaimed she does not fear him..once again bringing about ASR's smirk with an essence of overconfidence.. one would think he knew his wife better by now she loves challenges and tends to double her efforts when mocked..

Thoroughly enjoyed the final confrontation and his What the..😆😆.. truly K came back with twice the enthusiasm and once more questioned him as to the reason behind their marriage..was there a moment of helplessness upon ASR's face as he thought about his sisters future.. it was only for a moment though before he looked upon his wife and yes there was admiration more for her spirit then for anything else before he grabbed her hand using her sisters future once again a a shield yet this time it backfired as K portrayed the incident that just took place.. ASR's overconfidence was very well portrayed as he said with the arrogance of an individual far to cool that she does not have the guts..

Loved the ending ASR truly got what he deserved.. there was a time when she faced his family all alone and today she has left his side leaving him to come up with answers while the Raizadaa women demand and are awaiting his reply.. I also enjoyed the ride with Shyam it emphasized that irrespective of K saying she was leaving the sham of a marriage that is not what she or her heart believes to be true hence the tightening of her grip on her saree as Shyam abused her husband and her leaving him midway.. once again showing she cares and she will find a way to make this marriage work.. and more importantly this piece of news will simply add fuel to ASR's already raging fury.. it may lead to an explosion of his emotions..

On a final note Anjali let K go without questioning her brother as to the reason..she seems to be putting things together very slowly.. or is at least attempting to..

wow..fantastic post...loved your last line ...As the saying "what goes around comes around"
