😳Hiya there😃
Just watched the episode and am not sure how to classify it...funny, disjointed or irreverant to logic ...so let me go with the word interesting. 😊
Labour and its respectability
I have always felt that not just Khushi, but Payal too needs to do something with their time and life...Its disheartening to see people who are clearly are in a crisis in their lives...not wanting to do anything about it...So I have always wanted Khushi to study😊...be independant ...be responsible and take charge of her own life😳...And therefore I never was in favor of her forced marriage...dont really see the logic there
So yes its great to see Khushi do something meaningful...rather than decorate her room or sneeze at ASR's face or stop the water supply when he showers.😃👏👏
I feel there is dignity in labor...of any kind😃...I work at a senior management level as specialist...but at my office the guy who gets me my mails every day, my secretary, the woman who cleans by rubbish bin at my office...are also equally precious and are doing something with dignity to earn a living👏👏👏...and I respect that😃😳
So Khushi also deserves that respect and encouragement if she decides to work, educate or simply fend for herself😊 ...I loved Nani's dialogue today that each person must stannd on their feet.👏👏👏
Labored execution of scenes
Having said that, I feel the catering business scenes could have been better scripted😳...and I am not even going to logical or a realistic angle here...because logic and sense has long left this serial😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
I feel the writers and directors must know when to use a comic touch and when to be serious😳...Last week was a great week because they effectively used the comic touch only for some part of the bhaang scenes...but kept the other scenes on an emotional tangent.👏👏
This whole sequence of Khushi wanting to start her business and achieving independence...would have seemed much more relatable had they shot it using a more emotional angle or a realistic angle if you like...rather than an OTT comic angle..
Whichever way you swing...you cannot deny the scenes were wayyy over the top😆😆😆😆...I mean which employees are so desperate to grab food and eat or which person goes to an office and sells food by tempting people to eat. with a comic touch😆😆...
Would I go sell food in my spouses office ...maybe...However would I sell it as in such a gung ho manner smacking my lips, displaying food in front of everyones face and eating it...and all this while disregarding my own spouse's sensitivities...perhaps no😳...
Perhaps she could have gone to ASR's room first told him why she wants to do it ...he would have still been angry...but her actions would have come accross as much more graceful and dignified.😳.
Yes the context and the message of dignity of work is right...just that it could have been projected better.😳😳
Also they could have shown that Khushi thinks about it or a monologue that she wants to do something meaningful...rather than just return 300 bucks...because then by that logic she owes ASR a lot more...monetary help (thousand of rupees of hospital bills)🤣🤣🤣...and evennon-monetary help (getting Payal engaged)😆😆😆😆
Secondly, while in my mind Khushi has all the right to decide what to do...typically we would like to inform people close to us why we are doing it...she does not want to inform ASR, hates him...fine...shou dshe not inform Payal? or Anjali?😳😳
The point is not that her supplying food embarrased her husband...it is how she has done it that has come accross as embarassing ...
Dignity of labor
But while Khushi's actions seem over the top...ASR was not all cultured either😳😳...I can understand the makers want to project him as arrogant and strict...But no CEO I know goes about ordering staff to eat or not to eat😆😆😆
More importantly its equally uncouth to ask people "who the hell are you"...the scenes again were in a bad light😳
I love ASR...but when he is out of line...he is out of line😳
But all is not lost even when it comes to him
That said credit must be given to him for one instance...he did attempt to ask her why she was doing that...in a civil manner...she of course was in a comedy mood😆😆😆
As to why he should get embarrased...sure he has done many embarrasing things himself...but at the end of the day...lets face it...a lot of us would be embarrased if our spouse turns up doing something which we are totally clueless about...wont we😳
As to why should she bother ...she should😊😊...if you keep all likings aside, she should😊...because when it comes to outside world ...and when all is said and done...ASR has still increasingly largely respected her...whether in front of the ladies who insulted her during the "muh dikhai' ceremony...or whether in front of Shyam...or whether today when he asked her to be referred to as "mam"😳
Su
mmary
So in summary...welcome point that Khushi wants to do something, all for it😃...that said it could have been projected better as the comic scenes are taking away the grace...if not vis a vis her relationship with ASR, then at least vis a vis her relationship with Payal and Akash😊
Cheers and a great weekend

JW 👏 you have written a very unbiased analysis of today's episode.
I am glad that even you feel that before starting her venture she should have at least informed ASR & her closed ones.. I am all for her being independent but barging in her hubby's office & taking over his canteen was not classy at all for me.

I just request the CV's to stop this mindless comedy track

Hiya JW
ummm logic is a far lost in the world of tv I guess...
The whole of AR to me looked like a school room...kids rushing for some new candy ...dispersing at the sound of HM and then nudging each other...
Are they in the fasion business or what and where are all the bombettes that they had b4...
yep her tempting the staff over the top...
Khushi coming up with upstart ideas and executing without much thought is pretty much to charactor dont you think...
I think they are just piss farting around at the moment...I'm not sure where they are going with this ...just trying to get the neya soch for the channel in...
ASR and AR are both in jeoprady of being let down...first his bathroom now his working quaters...des this man only talk in billions...the style tho is lacking...

Very interesting indeed...😃

I work with underprivilaged women and its so heartening to see them overcome their past and work to a future with dignity...just because they cannot all be working in ac offices does not take away the fact that the work they do is any less commendable...
Without all the people out there...from drivers to farmers, postmen to janitors all help make our ...lives run smooth!
So khushi has decided to move on in life ...take the bull by its horns if you will...be independant...chosen not to rely on the fact that she is now miraculously married to a rich man albeit for only 6 months...she is doing something she is good at...the best way she knows how...
The Cvs are at fault they could have shown some finesse with the track to make it comendable...but in their effort to showcase drama, humor with a different twist...they somehow looked a little lost last couple of episodes...its not been a complete sham...but hopefully they wake up to realize that its the sensible well written and scripted track not OTT drama, romance, humor that has people glued to the show
cheers and njoy ur weekend!

Thanks dear😃
You know me by now😃...even though I am sometimes called a woman who supports only the man😆😆😆😆😆😆
But by now you know I appreciate what should be appreciated...and comment on what should not be😳
I like that Khushi is working rather than fooling around...could have been done better...the comic scenes are taking away the grace from her
And for ASR...his interaction today with the canteen fellow were not very civilised...too bad...I love him the most in this serial...but when he is lout of line he is out of line
Cheers dearie and a great weekend to you

Excellent analysis. I just don't get the motivation for this dabba track. If she did not have Rs. 300 to return to ASR, how is she able to run all this dabba business and buy bluetooth too? Script mentioned something about her taking "peshgi" (prepayment or down payment). From whom? Since employees said that Bhabhiji does not take money till we are fed satisfactorily? 😲
😲
Saving grace was that Arnav's brain has started coming back to life again after long hibernation and he has stopped the money supply to Jeejaji. Looks like he was not completely taken in by Jeejaji's act teh other day after buying red roses.

@JW, wonderful post as always, all I can say is that the track is silly and worthelss no way connected to the main story at all.I am all for Khushi working but the way they showed it was terrible. I don't care if she did not inform ASR, but when she left RM in the morning it was her duty to tell Nani and Anjlai where she is going. Its not like she can walk out and walk in whenever she wants, its not a dorm, its a house. The other people in the house doesn't know the dynamics between Arnav and Khushi, so she should have done the right thing there. Also if she wants to be independent and this marriage doesn't mean anything to her just like ASR then don't use his surname and the money.

In all anything Khushi does is cute, immature, naive and comedy and in 10 months I have never seen her character grow, may be she will be forever 18.

Nice one.

Lets talk class.

ASR - classless. educated but classless. As you said, you dont talk to people that way "Who the hell are you?", or order your employees around in derogatory terms. Fear begets obedience but not respect.

Khushi - classless, but we knew that all along Surprise!!

I could have written this post. But I am glad that you did because you have done a better job in conveying what I was feeing. All sais and done Khushi does come across as a self absorbed person purely due to lack on the part of CVs to show her struggle to make best of her situation. 300 rs is a lame excuse but wanting to do worthwhile with her life and being financial independent is her right. Also I mean she is using the opportunities that her position as ASR's wife presented then why not include him. The guy loves her and she has the ability to make him dance to her tunes.
