Hi Joules, is it? I am Shamika. I don't believe we have interacted before. That changes now.

LOVED your post. Bang on target and impossibly articulate.

I savored the Rabba Ve earlier today. I loved the lightness in their demeanor towards each other. They are slowly getting back to the equation they shared pre terrace-gate. I hope ASR realizes that he will love her no matter what. That he cannot hate her as much as he would like to. There is nothing that she can do to make him not love her. I hope he has this realization before learning that she is innocent. That would make it so much more sweeter than if he realized his true feelings only after learning about the truth.

Also loved how they both can predict each other's moves and can countdown to predict when the other would appear. LUBBLY

Hi Shamika, It was amazing the love that ASR has and that she has too. Khushi knows to keep looking and that there is something else that has made him act so terribly. And she can never let go of him. ASR too knows that despite his summoning his deepest hate, he only knows how to love her. He will not let her fall.

🤗 Julie, huge hug for this. This was so beautifully written, I now feel the need to go back and re-watch to appreciate what you've written above! Truly wonderful analysis!👏 I also mentioned in another post about the flashback sequences, the choice of scenes were ones which reflected the physical attraction between them just like in this moment they realised the proximity to each other and how they both silently acknowledged that this element in their relationship exits no matter how much they clash or declare their hate for each other!

Hi Ouma dear, I really felt that today despite all that swirls around them, ultimately he will never let anything happen to her. He takes every whim, every word out of her mouth seriously and will move heaven and earth for her. And she gets so much from him. Not only is he there for her, but Khushi shapes ASR's consciousness. She makes his react. Just like how surprised she is at his happiness when she is wearing the bangles he gave her. She effects him.

I loved your writing. I liked their rabba ve a lot, but you give a completely new dimension and intensity to it. I am going to go back and watch it again. You captured their togetherness beautifully. Please write more often.

What a beautiful post. You said it perfectly.

Superb post...I loved it.
Me too loved the rabba ve...glad it was not a force one...but the one which showed the status of their relationship.

I don't think so. In fact to me it was one of the most significant Rabba Ve's to date. I actually felt this one in my gut. Totally agree.

For all the emotional turmoil of this past three weeks and for all the "hate/comedy" of this week, this Rabba Ve was a palate cleanser for me. A bit of sherbet before the main Holi course coming next week. CV's reset the story as well as the characters mindset here.

First of all, loved the way the scene was set in the bedroom and the way that Khushi once again firmly closed the double doors. Ultimately they were dealing with the private business of their marriage. The emphasis is on the private and the fact that both want to think that it is just business. And ostensibly business it is for Arnav Singh Raizada, who looked like he was waiting for her and knew she would come. He casually appears to be reading the fake divorce papers. The files of papers are on the surface what draws her into the room, the fishing line that was able to land her. He has the confident smirk and is all set to to gloat at her defeat. There is a easy suavity here and this is a mask ASR wears many a times. Easier than anger, craziness and hate, this one slips on because it smacks of indifference. Perhaps this is all to hide how much it means to him that he has gotten Khushi to return not only to his house, but to their bedroom and therefore to the very heart of the matter. He tells her, 'I told you that you will come back to me'. This is so appropriate - it is all about keeping her close to him!!!!.

Khushi acquiesces rather gracefully that he is the winner. When she did this, he visibly softened and I felt that he almost melted and would have done whatever it took to make her win...same as the dance...but here the matter was too serious and so he put the mask back on. She is also on the surface concentrated on the deal. Then of course there is Khushi's cute trademark childishness that overturns the power relationship that ASR has just set up so carefully. ASR is reduced to chasing her around the room. This is of course an apt metaphor for his running around town for her all week. Is this the final lap? Is he closing in? No, this girl will be one he runs for all his life. Very true...she is his weakness. Just more proof that Khushi can make this man drop everything and put her front and center of his life. She can tear off the mask of indifference, allow his sarcastic humor to surface, enrage him, arouse him and bring him to her. The pillow toss, the pool jokes all lighten the moment and both appear to enjoy this level of bickering. No matter the distance and horror of what lies between them, symbolized today by the pool, is really not that deep and can be traversed. How deep is it? A mere three feet.

Despite ASR knowing full well he can get the papers printed again, he will chase her, he will catch her, both will enjoy it and hate that they do so enjoy it. And we have closed the loop with the water imagery. Earlier he poured a bucket of water on her, but in reality he will never let her fall. Her very empty and silly threat of her harming herself by drowning, reaches that side of ASR that cannot bear the thought of separation even as a joke. Underneath all the running around, threats, counter-threats, there is such vein of possessive attitude and passion and an unbreakable bond that they are not individuals anymore but two parts that belong together and what one feels has an equal and sometimes opposite effect on the other.

And that Rabba Ve' the papers went flying, the music was slow'and it was one of the most intense and physically close Rabba Ve's to date. Exactly - In this moment they both can not hide this feeling from themselves or each other anymore. There is now an awareness of what this is. Until now, it always surprised them but this time, it was not a surprise. It was an acknowledgement to self and they saw it reflected in each other's eyes.. Heated bodies touching, papers flying and we have the soul of this relationship. She is there simply because he wants her there. Arnav married Khushi to keep her near him no matter how much it hurts him. He cannot bear her to be outside of his home/heart. The deal is nothing as signified by the soggy papers. And she wants to know that he wants her there for him, and it is not just a deal.Thus her searching eyes and memories of their moments. This explains the questioning look in her eyes - very perceptive!!!

The passion and force between them appears a wonderful harbinger, come what may magnetism will drive these opposites together. The flashbacks are a reminder that there is a knowledge that defies what is seen and heard. Despite his recent boorishness, and her "crime," the "something" that is between them lives and breathes and will survive at any cost. The feeling they have when they are so close supercedes hate, jealousy, anger and betrayal

And they are both energized by the Rabba Ve moment. She gets back her charming confidence. Oh yes, she will fight again. She is coming back to fight another day. He tries to say he is in "control." Yeah right? The lines are drawn, the war is on and bring on next week!
