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"😳

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
