Tanthya,
As usual excellent post. Your Aakash and Anjali anlysis was amazing.
The episode did set foundation for tons of things but I just did not like the execution today..😡😡😡
Thank You, Pam... I did not like it while I was watching it but later grew to like it 😃
Things I did not like:
Let me start with Guptas: Yes, the bridge has to start building somewhere but shouldn't there be clearance first. Last time I was irritated with Guptas, because they threw Khushi out of the house instead of asking her questions. This time they just accepted her, only because she said ASR will come and answer. 😡Shouldn't they be saying that he is not our son, you are our daughter, you answer, instead of giving her "poori bhaaji" to eat? Are they really just OK with Khushi, because she promises an answer? We know she did it for Payal which is a big reason but they don't, they just know that she eloped. Garima, just kept giving her shocked looks. Your daughter got married without telling you, ask her questions, lady, pester her to answer.
Also, why were they so sweet with Arnav, shouldn't he also be bearing the brunt of this elopement? Buaji threw her out of the house because she was not giving them a justifiable explanation and here she is ready to serve him tea, without questioning him. Really? Did she forget "Bahar ka Rashta"? Or they really don't care about Khushi, but are worried about upsetting Payal's jetjee or were they just following rules of "Atithi Devo Bhav"
Logically, wouldn't any parents question the boy at least once, that why did you elope with my daughter? He came, he went and all is well in Gupta kingdom, with Garima's shocked expressions
A serious error , I agree..they shud have grilled him or atleast passed some oblique comments ..One , I think is bec they are intimidated by him, two they do not want to rock the boat , third they do love Khushi very much that they cannot remain angry any longer esp when she ahs promised ANSWERS
Secondly, Khushi and Arnav, we know this confrontation had to happen to ensure that Khushi does not leave RM. We thought it will happen in one way, but CVs took another root but the end result is going to be same, if the holi promo is anything to go by. But the whole episode was: ASR challenged Khushi, Khushi challenged ASR, ASR challenged Khushi, Khushi challenged ASR, ASR challenged Khushi ' CV's we really got it the first time itself, where's the action'..why only words???
HEAR , HEAR **Shouts even more loudly** HEAR HEAR
The only thing good was, as you said, the hair hitting his face,brilliant shot, brilliant indication, brilliant catch by you. Wonder how they execute such shots. Do they just pull the hair and throw it back?😊
Things I liked:
Aakash: As you said, the mediator. He will always be the mediator to bring these two estranged love birds together. But, I wonder, will Aakash ever be able to forgive ASR, the person he idolizes, when he knows that ASR used his relationship as a means to blackmail Khushi? Or will Shyam's truth be a big enough reason to justify ASR's actions? i think he will...
he forgave him for the glue incident, Akash will forgive Arnav .
Shyam vs Arnav
They had their first round with Shyam thinking he was the winner, but ASR turned the whole match by marrying Khushi, thus taking the first round, making Khushi a victim of their game.
Now the second round is begun and the preparations have started:
Shyam : As predicted yesterday by doodleberry (You are awesome..),he has started working his black magic on Anjali, by putting suggestions in her mind. But Anjali is not his weapon, she is his safenet. If things blow up in his face, he will use her total trust in him as a weapon against Arnav. Today, his weapon and his weakness , is his illogical thinking that Khushi loves him and she is only his. Initially, this will be his most effective weapon against ASR because when Arnav made his plans, he did not consider his feelings for Khushi. As said by you, this will make Arnav weak now but later on this will be Shyam's downfall.
Arnav: ASR today started the process of ensuring that Khushi remains with him for 6 months,the time he requires to confirm, if Shyam will change and be faithful to Anjali or to take the required steps to throw him out of Anjali's life after the baby is born. Previously he was short on time, he had to take action (marriage) and he took it. But this time he is planning, he is using his ASR brain of power and money. For him, Khushi is his safenet to keep Shyam in check. His thinking is, as long as Khushi is with him, she and Shyam cannot be together, thus keeping his sister's world intact. Yes, his emotions are clouding his methods but, unknown to him, his most effective weapon against Shyam, will be Khushi's feelings and her love for Arnav, those very things that might be ASR's downfall.
Shyam and Arnav don't realise, that in her quest for truth, their battles will be planned by Khushi, initiated by khushi, executed by Khushi, and each battle that she starts will bring Arnav and her closer, pushing Shyam further towards the confrontation that is the war.
Thus, the game was played, the battle declared , but in this match of wills over women, the war will only destroy.
