It says much for the show that an episode shot with BD , rife with discontinuity, shoddy direction is still hailed as a good episode ... A reflection on how badly things had got out of control..


The episode opened with the usual I, I - You You game being played.. Khushi has cluttered the room with her things, strewing it haphazardly over her side of the room..Arnav walks in, looks at the disarray, grimly orders Khushi to clean up the mess , A petulant Khushi , busy on the phone refuses to do Arnav's bidding ... Arnav snatches the phone away from her, while Khushi struggles to get her prized possession back ... Khushi struggles for a brief while then spots her guardian angel walking by, calls out to Anjali ..This distracts Arnav and he yields the prized possession ...


Of the whole episode this was the my most favorite scene..A symptomatic reflections of the upcoming upheaval in Khushi's life !! ... This scene highlighted the fundamental difference between Arnav and Khushi..Arnav a methodical man, slotting everything in its place, not liking clutter in his life.. each and everything cleanly defined.. mess to be cleared up and then move on be it Lavanya's engagement or getting Khushi to come home, or prevent Payal from leaving the home..Clean the mess and leave !! whilst Khushi is the type who accumulates mess, does not clear up, piles it viz Shyam's ID , His advances , Arnav's indifference bordering on cruelty ..She does not let it bother her and gets on with her own thing , oblivious to the Snafu ....


It takes Arnav for her to get the focus back,meaning it will be Arnav who will trigger her onto the correct path , the path to which she has all the keys. Arnav makes her realize that things are haywire by withholding a vital piece of information from her ..An information she already has but has not been enlightened...Khushi becomes aware of the importance of the information but not about the impact.. she struggles to tease it out of him but Arnav obdurately holds on and it is the advent of Anjali the releases that information ...but does this information help her , smoothen her path ..NO..it leads to greater explosion ...Things will not go smooth for Khushi from now on and it has been signaled today .


Death, Distance, Rejection has always been the greatest fear of Arnav Singh Raizada ...To day he was unable to control himself when Anjali blessed Khushi by adding her own life line to Khushi ..Khushi feels moved at the generosity of Anjali, As is her wont , Khushi immediately shares this nugget of information with her confidante, her friend Lakshmi , never expecting the maelstrom that she would be facing in few seconds ... Arnav who had been listening to her conversation yells at her to stop her babble , his expression mirroring the distaste, anger, the pain of betrayal .. woth controlled fury , Arnav informs Khushi that he is aware of her crime and that he will not stand by and allow her game to continue with a puzzled Khushi retorting that it would be better if Arnav comes clean ...


Today Both Arnav and Khushi had their first inkling that things are not what they seem...Khushi has witnessed the almost paranoid reaction of Arnav to Anjali's banter ... Khushi now knows that Anjali induces extreme reaction from Arnav ...coupling this with the fact that Anjali has an almost insane attachment to Shyam and SHE, Khushi is an object of Attraction and lust to Shyam...Khushi could and can deduce that Arnav's extreme action is bec of Anjali and that can come about only if Shyam is involved ...to put it plainly , Arnav knows the truth about her and Shyam!!...Similarly the uncomprehending queries of Khushi shud have triggered Arnav's thought process unless he were to think that this is a deliberate ploy of Khushi to lull him [ n in his present state of mind, he is liable to think this ]...



He drags Khushi out and shouts at her , tells her angrily that she cannot make him weak any longer nor will he believe her words anymore ... despair mingles with anger forces him to blurt out that he cannot even reveal her despicable acts to anyone and nor will he allow her to have what she wants ...All this are overheard by Shyam who listens with a satisfied smirk ...He leaves to get Anjali and intrude in Arnav- Khushi's life !!


The banishment of Sita !! That is what came into my mind when I saw this scene ...Khushi was wed and brought into the house and into his room by Arnav ..Today it is he who takes her by the hand and leads her out !!

He walks back into the house , securing the door behind him ...thinking about their past action's .. I am reminded of Khushi closing the door on him and then it is the turn of Arnav to shut the door on Khushi .. what was notable on both this occasion was the doors remained shut , but this was the first time that the doors opened immediately, but only for Khushi to reject him for the immense lack of trust, faith in her ...

Another thought strikes , Arnav after revealing the truth of her actions to Khushi, condemns her and throws her out of his life, bruising her but not cutting her, cutting the bond between them but truth cannot be kept quiet any longer, it emerges triumphant ..Arnav rushes back repentant, guilty to tend to Khushi's wounds but Khushi has had enough , She will not be toyed around anymore, angrily rejects his ministrations ..She not only punishes him but also herself ..


Ironical is it not , Khushi was in the yellow color suit of hers when the first wedge begun between them..It was on that day Khushi's Bangle cut into the skin of Arnav and his blood poured out when he thought he has lost Khushi and today Khushi is bruised by the action of Arnav !!


Anjali come in followed by Shyam, Arnav tries to assure Anjali but Anjali will not be mollified , she reaches out to Khushi , Khushi does not let down her husband and stands by him ..Anjali and Shyam leave sensing something afoot but not able to pinpoint the source of discord ...


I really liked the way this was shot, Anjali comes in like a Arrow let out of the bow , followed by the archer Shyam who sent the arrow [Anjali] ..The arrow tries to pierce through the veil but is not successful ..Khushi blocks Anjali and sends her back and indirectly Shyam empty handed thereby proving that come what may , Khushi will always shield Arnav despite the many bruises he may give ...


The second thing I liked was the removal of colors [ in the form of Khushi's dupattaa's] from Arnav's garden, The colors that had intruded into his room,infused his room and every nook and corner with life those .. colors are leaving again, leaving it bare, bleak, colorless and dull...

What I did not like was ; what was the need to get Khushi out in the open if he wanted privacy ...Pool is open and accessible to all ...and the dialogue .." Don't Shout" ...for the love of Mike, she was absolutely silent in that moment , was silent for a while so why don't shout except to attract Shyam's attention ... it was quite weak...

What should have been and would have been an intense and poignant scene was marred by the use of Body double ... esp the way Khushi's BD points the finger.. terrible .. ..when there are intense scenes to be shot, do not approve of leave... u need to do a proper scheduling of Actor's dates ...


Shyam will not be stopped so easily , he is successful in rousing grave suspicion in the bosom of Anjali , who immediately plans on involving the family members.. The family assembles and Nani decrees that the newly wed pair will be leaving on Honey Moon ..

This scene begun to show the growing influence of Shyam over the family via Anjali .. Shyam's words in that cradle scene to see only what he wants her to see in coming true. Shyam has begun to deploy Anjali as a weapon, he is getting her to see what he wants her to see, is not allowing her to form her own judgement but is imposing his views on her ...Anjali in turn is pulling the whole family into the morass ...

There is another significant moment .. notice the way all are assembled ...Shyam-Anjali together, and to the right of Nani, Maami to the immediate left of Naani, Akash-Payal next to Maami but Khushi away from the circle, in the middle , in the distance to all signalling her position that she is outsider ..Did she became an outsider by choice after rejecting the overtures of Arnav or does circumstance force her to become one... whatever it is , it is Nani who finally chooses to bring her into the fold, reminds Khushi that she is the eldest DIl [ first time this was used IMO] and summons her closer .. A reluctant Khushi finally walks towards her family!!


Khushi accepts the Honeymoon ticket for both the couple while Arnav pours cold water on it !!... In PAYASH bedroom, Payal and Aakash are rather philosophical about the cancellation of the Honeymoon trip ...

A beautiful illustration of how the lives of this four are intertwined ..An action by one member has ripple effect on them all ...IF Khushi and Arnav were to grow distant and signs are growing that they will be then it will be PAYASH who will be bringing them closer ...I also liked the Mirror motif of PAYASH.. Akash is sitting on the bed, Payal in front of the dressing mirror ... Payal's half body appears superimposed on Akash .. Payal being the significant other half, the heart of the relationship ..and also conveying that they are equals/ a single entity !!


The Sleeping arrangement which caused so much heartburn amongst the followers of the show has been resolved quite amicably and also quite clearly showing that the final call is always made by Arnav and Khushi gives in !!


Blooper Alert ;


first scene the table is empty save for the HM ticket n laptop, Arnav comes in holding the cup in his hand , satnds holding ..Khushi looks down on the coffee table , sees the ticket envelope , miraculously in the interim the coffee cup has winged its way there while in the next shot we see Arnav placing it on the table


Arnav does not see Shyam peeking ;

Tant, perfectly said ' "It says much for the show that an episode shot with BD , rife with discontinuity, shoddy direction is still hailed as a good episode ... A reflection on how badly things had got out of control.." Yeah, imagine where they were heading if the "Reality Check" wouldn't have shown to them. As usual you said it all and now I have to see where I can fit in. Fantastic analysis, oops it's TANTASTIC. 👏 👏 👏

You know why we succeeded today, because we made this thread a space and given it a name so that all the IPK fans / members who want to analyze can come under one roof (read thread) for the CVs to really understand what the collective opinion is. One finger never have the strength and power in comparison to all the five fingers have. That's why a FIST is more powerful than a Finger. Now, that is the reason I said we need to name this thread and that is how "IP Redux" was born. I, on behalf of all the analysts here at IP Redux, give my heartfelt Thanks to all the members and analysts for making this space a SUCCESS.👏 I have never believed in working individually and always believed in "Team Work". Yes, as I always say "Pen is mightier than a Sword".A BIG THANK YOU to 4 Lions and Star Plus for changing the storyline so rapidly within 2 working days. I know you have merged the new storyline (there were many new added, I'll explain later) along with the Honeymoon scenes that were shot earlier (yes, SI was not present in that scene) and you have managed to do it with nice editing. Yes there were lotsa BDs and lots of single shots where SI was present and BS to some extent. But it is nothing and can be ignored in comparison to the rectification of the story lineup.

Hmm, so, we are promised a 5 days ride in a Limousine. WOW. Let's see how 4 Lions and Star manage to rectify the track. Since you corrected the storyline a bit, please DO NOT make Arnav believe Shyaam that her business is to help him. I DO NOT want the "Money Transfer issue" to be linked to "Khushi's new venture". Period. That doesn't make sense. It may create the MU between Arnav and Khushi but Shyaam's character will be butchered and contradictory. So, that link can never come up. Her independent venture can be proved for her "Self respectable" nature and her plans for future; also her looking after Gupta Family, which I am sure will be for her benefit to prove herself innocent later on. So, use it later and get her out of AR Designs and make her independent and NOT using Raizada name. I am sure after today's episode and Arnav's behavior it will make it easy for the Creative Team to do that. So, that pathway is open and I am glad you kept it open.

Let me start the analysis. How many of you are happy today??? Do one thing; give a BIG SMILE 😃 to the screen whatever gazette you are using to read this. Happy. Ok. Now let's get back to analysis.

When I watched today's episode you know what the first thing I was looking for??? Which scene was shot earlier and which one has been shot over the weekend. And there were lots of innuendos from the CVs to us. Like the one I said above ' promised 5 days ride in a Limousine. Then, the first scene, the line added after was "What the hell is this'what's this mess'" was definitely for us. As Tant have showered her analysis with symbolisms and hidden meanings, I will not go into those details. It will be redundant. But, one thing for sure to me, more than hidden meanings today's episode was full on clearing up the mess that they created. Yes, today's episode was nothing but "RECTIFICATION". That is 100% sure. If you all remember my Friday's analysis then just see the episode through those eyes. They not only rectified Khushi and Arnav, they rectified Shyaam, Anjali, Payal, Mami, Naani and even maintained Aakash. Look at Shyaam's character, the CVs have rectified to a bit. I won't be at all harsh today on the CVs as I actually thought they will rectify from Tuesday but never knew they will do so rapidly. But I will show you how they have done the merging of old shots with the new changed storyline and I hope you will be happy to learn this. Something new instead of the same "ghissa pita" scene dissection and loop opening and closing isn't it??? Sometimes we need to learn new things. Chalo let's start.

Waise for your kind information there was no such major loop openings.

Let's look back to the "Metaphorical Grihapravesh" scene where Arnav mentioned about his "Chot", the "Chot" which Khushi was much eager to know and she proceeded to the kitchen and thinking over her engagement with Shyaam. She then left the RM informing to Naani and Anjali that Arnav will provide the reason. That is the moment the track started going down wards. That is the moment Khushi started to let the "Bedroom Talk" come out to the world. As we know it's been said ' "we have to pay the price when we do a mistake", be it knowingly or unknowingly and no one else would pay the price in our place. Right??? That's why I said on Friday, how she can bring the "Bedroom Miscommunication". That was the beginning and then it carried to be a massacre till Friday's episode. The first time when she started to leak out the bedroom talk Shyaam caught it when he offered to drop her at GH. Second time, Shyaam got the information during her intoxicated state. Today, he got the proof when the pool window was open. Just watch the scene again, you will figure the window was open. Shyaam is an opportunist and he will grab the first opportunity that comes his way. Always. Straight from the beginning of the serial. Remember the first time he met Khushi in the middle of the road??? That was his first opportunity. He grabbed it. Today, he got the proof red handed and he grabbed it. What will be consequences we already know, but Shyaam's character as an "Opportunist" is back on track. This is his core nature. Then comes, Anjali's interrogation and what happened??? Khushi didn't let the "Bedroom Talk" out. Yes, this is Khushi. Now, for a moment think when she said ' "Gala daaba doon"??? It was out in the open and it's no one listened it. She has always covered Guptas' but off late her character was more of a letdown regarding the "Bedroom information"; So, we see, Khushi's this character portrait is back on track. Hence, a couple of rectifications done.


Next comes Shyaam's character. As I have mentioned he always displays multiple facets to the world. To his inner soul, he is an opportunist. To the Raizadas, he is "Self respectable", a "Khuddar" person. The scene at Naani's bedroom instantly reminded me of Shyaam's first day at RM to the audience, when Laa's entry was about to happen at RM and the dining table scene that I had described on Friday. Yes, this is the Shyaam, Raizadas know of. He is always after their money and always was from the beginning but off late CVs had tarnished his character. Today the Shyaam Manohar Jha we saw in the watch scene, is the Shyaam I mentioned on Friday's analysis that "Shyaam will sneak out money from Anjali with tricks".So, we got this characteristics of Shyaam back today. Look at the way he managed to trick Anjali. You know why I said don't tarnish Shyaam's character, because this character facet will help CVs to use in future to open Anjali's eyes. But, since the CVs have already massacred his character with the "Money Transfer",what they can do is one conversation between Anjali and Arnav can be shown where Anjali informs to Arnav that Shyaam never withdraws any money by himself. One thing I loved. You know since CVs have kept this fantastic reasoning open here they can use it in future when Anjali will connect the dots. Yes, the watch trick will come handy with the timing of the event. It's the same day Arnav didn't transfer the money and Shyaam tricked Anjali to it. So, now you know how nicely the CVs have killed 2 birds with 1 stone. Shyaam's tricky facet is back along with future solution but in one condition, I need the above Anjali-Arnav clarification of money transfer logic back. Shyaam's character somewhat rectified and the future logical reasoning opened.

Ok now if you have time or if you remember my Mar 12th Analysis (the Holi confession epi) where I have analyzed Shyaam-Anjali teamwork. I mentioned the the irony in the equation ' "the wife helps the husband to concrete his suspicion and the husband helps the wife to crystalize her belief". We saw the same thing with progression today. Anjali helped Shyaam to walk towards his mission with the honeymoon gift to Arnav-Khushi when Arnav declined the offer. On the other hand, Shyaam is already helping Anjali to further crystalize her belief with the help of Naani's upcoming idea which definitely will bring Arnav and Khushi nearer to the MU climax. Now, speaking of Naani, did you see today when Naani scolded Manorama she didn't do in front of Khushi, Payal and Aakash. Atleast, Khushi and Payal was not there. Another big rectification.

Then comes Aakash Payal scene. I loved it. Finally Payal's character is being rectified and the camera angle is FABULOUS for future track and Payal's stance in all of it. This one scene in today's episode was outstanding.👏 Aakash I said his character is beautifully crafted and Payal today she said Thank God her options for future thought process is back. Yes, as I said apart from Saas-Bahu track she has much bigger thing to do. See the Camera Angle??? When Aakash was explaining the reason behind the cancellation and that they could have gone; at that moment they were looking at each other through the reflection; implicating as Tant said mirror image of each other. But, the moment he said "lekin" 'She turned back from their comfort zone and gave importance to the reality, the family, Arnav and Khushi relationship while Aakash was looking on. She will be the one who will step ahead and be the "Spokesperson" from their behalf when the truth will be out and Aakash will support from behind. As I said, Aakash is determined and he is supportive but they corrected Payal's character today. Hrishikesh Gandhi or his team member did a fantastic job here.Another solid rectification is done on Payal's character. As I say, Payal brings them together and Anjali never lets them move apart.

Now coming to the main couple, Arnav-Khushi. Tant said everything naa??? So, my triangle theory started to work. Arnav-Khushi started today; Arnav-Shyaam again started today after that pathetic Shyaam wanting to make Arnav believe that he is changing pathetic track. Now, one track needs to start with Shyaam-Khushi side to complete the triangle. So, my "I hate you" loop is back in action. I think it's the IP Redux; Gordian Knot analysis (Mar 2nd ), where I had described the entire "Chot" systhesis. How the connection is intertwined and you can read it if you wish. Yes, this scene was added this weekend. The entire pool scene was shot separately except the door closing and Khushi-Anjali scene; Khushi-Anjali was needed for Arnav to start the confusion as I always mentioned and even on Friday I wrote - "Then comes Khushi's actions and taking care of Anjali and the family will increase the confusion in Arnav's mind". They started the confusion in Arnav's mind and if this confusion wouldn't have started then how come he will figure out the fishiness in Shyaam-Khushi Business??? So, now Shyaam will start brainwashing Khushi for sure and that will trigger her to connect the dots. Well, now Arnav given all the clues today, I know she won't pick up now like she didn't do on Diwali night too but she will be helped by outer forces now to pick up the clues. So, they corrected Khushi and Arnav today. Arnav started to imagine Khushi's character in a much worsen manner which is needed to move the story that was stuck and Khushi started to react the actual "Khushi Kumari Gupta". So, that "Khuddar" KKG is back in track. Arnav as I said never torture Khushi on purpose and today he didn't realize he shut the door on her just because she called him stonehearted and since he remembers the intoxicated confession he is hurt more. But see the moment he saw her in pain, he turned back. 4 Lions have never damaged this trait of his but his "Brains" that went on a moonwalk came back. So, rectification done regarding Arnav's Brains.

The one Khushi who in Diwali believed Arnav's "Tum aur tumhari payal mere liye koi maine nehin rakhti'it doesn't mean a thing" is back with believing him today with his "Inn aansoonown pe hum bilkul believe nehin karenge'" YES, I wanted "Diwali's Sanaya Irani" back and we got her back today. Now see what will she do and how she connects things. In Love, what we do, why we do, we never figure out but WE DO.


P.S. 4 Lions just stop drying clothes in the pool. It doesn't suit Raizada's status.

@Satya,
The episodes without your analysis leaves a bad taste in my brain. Empty feeling. Thanks for the analysis.
Exactly as you said with BD if this episode could register in our minds,then we have been through a lot. Were CVs throwing us brainless teasers the entire last week. Just to give us breathing time so that we are all prepared for the upheaval. Lets see.
Arnav said to Khushi that she is going to face more and it was just the beginning. Says a lot. My gut says by the end of this week either party will come to know about the truth. My guess is Khushi as more beans were spilled before her. She has to start thinking. I sincerely hope CVs again should not falter here. Its high time. Feb 15th everything started and its going to be April. Let them come up with a solid script now. Its do or die situation.
Limo drive as Shyam described is for audience I think. We will have a luxury drive as for as episodes are concerned.Full of anticipation and lots of dreams.I am all up to for it.Someone needs to crack this code pretty soon.
Payal said it wont be fair on our part if Arnavji is working so hard and we leaving them and enjoying. That said few things. Will they know that Arnav has too much on his hand and Payal and Aakash will reveal few tit bits to Arnav...And she wanted Khushi to be with her.
And one more thing I noticed is Khushi again was summoned in front of the family and Arnav was missing. Is she going to give one more Agnipariksha...

Nice analysis 😊, i really enjoyed today's episode and as you said that says a lot about the quality of last week's episode's, the CVs seem to have started to bring the story back on track where it should have been.

Last Friday's episode when ASR walked into the room and Khushi was walking on the bed talking on the phone, the room was a mess (at least the bed was they did not show the rest of the room) but it did not seem to bother him, whether that was because he was more interested in her calling herself a businessman's wife or because she was not in the room long enough, who knows.

The scene between Anjali, Shayam and the watch person, when Anjali went to get the money and Shayam looked smug the watch person had a look on his face that he knew Shayam was doing, though Anjali never seemed curious that the account did not have any money in it. It was not a nice watch, but not once does Anjali think that it is ASR's hard earned money for something so trivial and my understanding is RS75,000 is a lot of money, do you just have that sitting at home? I hope the watch is marking time on their relationship. One thing i noticed Shayam said to Anjali that as much as i think about you, you consider my happiness alot more, and Anjali did not deny this.
When ASR said to Khushi she is my sister and nothing will hapen to her, i will not let anything happen to her no matter what you do, to me that sounded like he thought she had done more than what he heard her saying on the terrace to Shayam about leaving Anjali. She has gotton clues about what may be wrong but not once has ASR thought about the thing she has done to help the family and what for someone who marriage is such a big thing (he said it to her when they were getting married as well) that she would not ruin someone else's marriage.
ASRs dialogue about her dirty talk and actions, the talk part i understand he means when she told Shayam to leave Anjali, but what does he mean about dirty actions - is he talking about the hug on the terrace, because apart from that i do not know what he could mean. His line about not believing anything she says, again does that mean that when she tells him the truth he does not believe her or she will not tell him because he won't believe her?
I agree that getting her to the poolside was not done in a clever way but i suppose they needed to show her hand get injured and the symbolisim with the door closing and opening. I noticed that the clothes she had on today were the same ones as at the Haven when he was scared that he had lost her. I am glad once the door closed on her hand and she was hurt, she did not let ASR help her, though whether that is foreshadowing what is to come when she finds out the truth and will be hurt and won't forgive him easily hurting both in the process, time will tell. I also liked how she did not tell Anjali about the fight.
when Shayam was first introduced he had influence over the family, recently that was waning and he was ineffectual but again they are showing that he is positing Anjali and getting her to think what he wants though i have to say i love the fact that the outcome is not what he is planning for!!!
I had not noticed how the significance of how they were assembled in nani's room, thanks for pointing that out. I am glad that they are not going on the Honeymoon as yet, with all the MU it would be a disaster, i would prefer it when the MU have been cleared and they can show a proper honeymoon (though doubt we wil get one with the budget).
In regards to the BD, the actors work hard and long days and they deserve a break. I just hope that last weeks episode have some meaning which will be revealed later on because if not most of last week could have been cut out and the scenes which were enacted by the BD in todays episode could have been done by SI.

Thanths amazing analysis as always.. 🤗

Irrespective of the technical faults.. I can say the show is finally back on track and the CV's are back with a bang' after the comical debacle of the week before.. the intensity and passion that define ArHi were effectively portrayed.. this was exactly what was amiss last week the episodes were not only incoherent but they did absolutely nothing to take the story forward.!!

ASR was simply fantastic.. It's nice to see the CV's have awoken and rekindled the frustration and the pain of deception within him towards the women he had grown to love.. once again the catalyst was the sister he would do anything for..but more importantly I loved how they gradually ignited the fury within him beginning with annoyance at the disarray.. Irritation when ignored.. and frustration when K innocently praised the women her husband's world literary revolves around..Further augmented by the fb's which reminded him of the moment that shattered his world before his eyes.. to his already muddled thoughts her comments were nothing more than a charade to mock his loved ones and staying true to himself he finally unleashed his aggravation yet remained conscious of what he stated giving out only bits and pieces leaving Khushi to put the pieces of the puzzle together..

I personally loved the pool side sequence.. although I found him taking her out amusing for an individual who intended to keep his quarrel as a private affair.. he did not think before openly portraying his argument to the world and raising his voice just in case no one had heard.. they should have truly paid attention to such details.. but I agree he was removing her from his world.. yet did not bring her back portraying that is one aspect he will have no control over K will choose when to resume her position..

In the upheaval both portrayed their feeling for one another were as strong as ever.. ASR exclaims he will never allow her to achiever her heart's desire.. his tone held anger yet it was mixed with the ache in his heart this man is torn between loving/detesting the women in front of him and protecting the sister who is no less than a mother to him .. while K cannot believe this is the same individual her heart longs for.. regardless of what he has done to her she still searches for the man she loves silently watching for clinks in his armor a glimpse for the man that cares behind the harsh exterior..

In a fit of anger ASR grabs and discards one of K's the dupattas unknowingly removing the color the joy that K has brought into his life.. he walks away only to be stopped by a determined K portraying no matter where he goes how hard they fight it their paths will continue to cross.. Loved K she matched his anger although a bit taken aback by the force of his accusations she demanded answers.. he pushed her against the wall from where she could only move ahead in life.. he hurts her unintentionally as he closes the door to his destiny.. only to be called back by her pain caused by his indifference.. symbolic in a way he will always turn back because they will always be bound together by pain/love.. yet she will not give in easily similar to how she refused his aid even today.. ASR will have to work for the love he found so easy to doubt.. the women he could not trust.. I loved how she simply shook her head when Anjali questioned as to the situation silently supporting her husband depicting she will continue to do so despite his behavior towards her..


Shyam did exactly what I had expected he manipulated his wife and cleverly used her as a means to an end..although his plans continue to backfire..I felt K was keeping her distance by choice she was anxious after the events that had just taken place.. but nani ji's gentle persuasion helped her to accept her position yet again.. adored payal today she will be the bridge between ArHi in the future.. she will help to bring them back to one another.. btw agreed K not only accumulates but creates disorder.. while ASR demands aptness things must be slotted for him..!!

Okay last bit.. 😆 ..also liked ASR and Shyam facing one another Arnav confidently saying he will not allow anything to happen.. indirectly saying your plans will continue to fail.. now I would love to know are the women blind who could miss the tension in the air K should have noticed the way they looked at each other yet another hint..!!

"It says much for the show that an episode shot with BD , rife with discontinuity, shoddy direction is still hailed as a good episode ... A reflection on how badly things had got out of control.."

Such a true statement, Tanthya. It really shows that a badly "edited " episode with good story can be 10 times better than good episode filled with bad story. I will take today's episode anyday to the combined episodes of last week. CV's did do fast work with story as well as the characters and I was pleasantly surprised as I expected to see the changes tomorrow rather than today but, as Doods, you said, "Pen is mightier than the sword."

Thus, Let me repeat my daily mantra, "Fantastic analysis as usual, both of you"

I loved the way you both described Payash's relationship with mirror reflection but one thing that also struck me was that though, Aakash choose not to leave because of his brother, Payal, did not want to go without her sister. Thus, I think, that, Payash will always be at crossroads because of Khushi and Arnav, but if Khushi and Arnav are the two sides of the road, Payal and Aakash are the center of that same road which will always try to connect them together.

The other thing that I really liked about this episode was the little progress in Payal's and Mami's relationship: I was sick and tired of seeing Payal's scared expression when she interacted with Mami. I used to think, is this "Nayi soch? There are ways to win your MIL, but getting scared is definitely not one of them. I always wanted to see on Payal's face, when she encountered Mami, the dignity, the strength with which she steadfastly refuse Aakash, with which she stood against the mighty ASR, not once but twice, with which she provided Khushi the strength to fight back. I am so happy to say that I saw it today. I do not mind if they give the Saas-Bahu saga, a comedy turn but if they make it comedy from Mami side, which is her forte, then, I hope, they show Payal encountering it with her quiet strength and dignity, like today.

You have explained all the scenes very beautifully so I will not go into details but below are two scenes which I want to write about:

I had written sometime back, that Khushi and Shyam, both will use Anjali , that this game is all about "Manipulations". We again saw it today, but what struck me more was, how "simple manipulation's" can change a person's time, from good to bad, within a blink of an eye. Good and bad times do not announce their arrival but someone or something is always responsible for it, it can be an action, a thought, a person and today, we saw the prime example of this simple fact:

On one hand, Anjali was responsible for changing Shyam's bad time (kahrab gadi) to good by buying him the watch that was denied to him . On the other hand, Arnav had a rush of bad memories, memories that gave rise to a turmoil that had no anchor, due to Anjali's innocently uttered words, changing Arnav's good time to bad. Both the times it was Anjali who was responsible, In the first instance, because of Shyam manipulations, in the second because of Khushi. They were simple manipulations, but their impacts were and will not be for everyone involved.


The intertwining of these two scenes also imply that whenever Anjali will try to bring good period in one's life, it will always result in the bad period for another.


One more thing that I want to add here is that today, the fight that started with Anjali ended with Anjali but the good thing that I noticed was, that though Shyam tried to manipulate Anjali and he did succeed to a certain extent , Anjali choosed Nani for advice and not Shyam. This is the second time she is done that. This shows that whenever it comes to her family, the Raizadas and their well being, she will not turn to Shyam, she will either look towards Nani for advice or use her own judgement.


"Issi ke layak hain na hum, iss dard ke, to bardash karne dijiye, humein toh isse bhi badi sajja milni chahiye."

I have always maintained that Arnav's actions as a brother will always be justifiable to himself under the tag of "brother" but not as "lover". Today, his actions were the result of the brotherly love but they did not end in the same way. The lover did emerge in that fight, he emerged when Khushi said that "Yakin nahi hota ki app wahi insaan ho...". After that all his actions, the anger, the emotional pain, the physical hurt and the subsequent care were that of the lover.




The above scene was so poignant. He was standing inside and she was outside but with a distance so small yet so vast. There was pain between them, Khushi's physical pain and he wanted to reach out at her, he wanted to ease it, he wanted to help, but could not. She refused'.

"Time is the justice that examines all offenders"

I feel, very soon, we will see a similar scene. This time, Khushi will be inside, Arnav will be outside with a small but yet such a vast distance between them. This time also there will be pain between them but it will not be Khushi's, it will Arnav's personal emotional hell. That time, Khushi will want to reach out, she will want to ease his pain, she will want to help but will not be able to. He will refuse.

We will hear the same words again but where hers were laced with question, disbelief and doubt, his will be soaked in conviction and belief that he deserves it.


Blooper Alert:

CV's please explain how Anjali's Saree changed from pink to yellow in the last shot.

Great post guys! I've been so disheartened by the lack of analysis of last week, because truthfully none of it made sense lol. Loved your analysis on the clutter, and the colours being removed from Arnav's life.

It really is sad how much I enjoyed todays show. Finally it seems that we are getting back to the actual track at hand. Not much truly happened today lol. I feel as if this show really takes one step forward, one step back, and then two steps forward. We've really had this conversation between Shyam and Anjali already, the only difference now is that Nani has gotten involved. I won't say much about the shoddy directing, but I will say this - I agree, if a serious scene is to be shot they need to find a way to have the leads present. Let them have their vacations, but use the body doubles for the comedy scenes.

I don't know why but I am not feeling much from Abhaas' portrayal of Shyam. He used to be AMAZING as the villain we all love to hate, but now I am really not seeing the layers behind his portrayal anymore. Maybe it is just me, but I feel as if he holds the emotion just as long as he is voicing his dialogue, but then when someone else is to speak - he becomes an actor merely waiting for his cue.

I hope it improves soon.

Now onto the actual scenes. It really is ironic that just a few months ago, the same Arnav that was searching around for Khushi like a madman. The one who hated to see Khushi in any sort of pain. That is the same Arnav that is now inflicting that pain. I LOVED the dialogue for Khushi today. I've been wanting to see some mention of her feelings for Arnav for a while now (where she isn't under the influence of bhaang), and today was golden.

She really can't believe that he is the same man that she had fallen in love with.

The first Rabba Ve really emphasized this, as you see Khushi almost studying Arnav. Arnav is staring at her intently as if trying to read her intentions, whereas Khushi is studying his face as if trying to find any trace of the Arnav that she fell in love with. Beautifully portrayed by both actors.

Additionally, it is really ironic that Arnav keeps stating that he will not let anything bad happen, however he is the one who is causing most of the problems. He really is going to have a big fall from grace when he finds out that for all of his confidence in his abilities - he's never been in control. For those that get angry at his manhandling of Khushi, I just want to point out that THIS is what ASR has always been.

He isn't the cookie cutter romantic hero. His shades of grey are what differentiate him from ASR and Arnav. I am not saying that the aggression is correct. But for those that can't handle this type of behaviour then, 1) I don't know what show you have been watching since last June because he has been the same way since then 2) Changing this aggression would ruin the character of ASR because the cold-hearted ruthlessness is what makes him ASR. I do appreciate that this show has never tried to glorify his behaviour. We all know that his actions are wrong. Khushi is never deserving of any of it, and even Arnav regrets his behaviour immediately after.

He isn't the sort of love that I would want, but then again neither does Khushi. She's said it time and time again. Shyam had all of the qualities she had wanted in a husband, and ASR has none. However for some reason ASR holds her heart. The same applies to Khushi. Neither can understand it, but they've fallen in love and their hesitance from admitting it to each other is one of the main reasons that neither has been able to come forth with the secrets they are hiding. They don't WANT to rely on each other. They don't WANT to show how important they are to each other. They do not WANT to love each other.

ASR wants to hurt Khushi, but the moment he does - he regrets it. Khushi wants to hate ASR, but she can't no matter what he does. Even after he's wounded her both physically and emotionally, she still can't help but protect him. At this point she feels that the only way the love will go away is if she lets these wounds fester and continues to let him injure her so that the wounds just pile on. They pile on to a point where no bandage can stitch her heart back together. I feel as if we are headed to that point. ASR is going to do something and Khushi will be incredibly hurt by the injury (I mean metaphorically - I don't expect him to injure her intentionally), and that is when she will leave him. Then ASR can find out the truth and the repentance track can begin.

When I first saw the new episode intro I couldn't really figure out the reasoning behind it. But today I do. Whereas in the previous intro, the two were looking towards each other only to turn their backs on each other...their love story - which had just begun resulted in them turning their backs on each other due to this MU. But now, as they both try to walk away from each other - this bond of marriage is keeping them bonded. The closeness that this relation requires is going to bring ArHi to a broiling point, because as much as they try to stop loving each other they will not be able to. Arnav is definitely going to blow, because he does not understand why the image he has of Khushi in his mind (the home wrecker) does not match up with the impetuous, bubbly girl who he impetuously made his wife.

I'm still trying to figure out what Khushi's reaction will be. She does love Arnav enough to forgive him for all that he's done...but i feel as if something will happen that she fill find unforgivable. Something that she will blame him for. Something that she can't excuse. Only then will Arnav realize all that he had, and all that he's lost. Only then will he go to Devi Ma and search for support with his most unlikely ally.

Finally an episode I felt like analyzing!

hi sathya,
couldnt beliving this is da same show that i was watching previous week with lots of insanse comedy. N today open with needed serious issue that they forgotten for couple of week. Ah sathya 1st scene u gave da meaning i couldnt get it ever but with ur help i got it with wonderful meaning. 4 me all of arhi scenes r best yeah needy 4 story to move. When kkg said about her death he didnt give any attention but when anjali said giving her life to kkg he scolded n stopped her 4 further statement. Innocent kkg with her bezuban friend lakshmi sharing her thought n dnt aware what a big strom coming her way. Asr da 1 who brought that strom in her life as a love n as misery love she feels 4 him n misery he disrespect her n cut her 4rm her family. Whom she ll prefer in near coming future when truth out. Lover or misery . Misery means she ll leave him n put him n herself in pain as she refused his healing touch.
Hi doods,
yeah today same selfrespect kkg back whom we saw in dewali my most fav scene. But will she connects these dots which he gave or she ignore can we ll see her change behavior 4 arnav after yesterday confrontation. Is this track back 4 arnav to knw kkg innocency or 4 kkg to knw about that arnav knws about shayam n her relationship?
Hi pam,
anjali didnt do it herself unless shayam gave him advise that we must kept this matter in front of our elders.
Happily saying " TANTDOODASTIC" analysis sathya n doods . But doods u wrote u ll explain honeymoon fiasco but u didnt na.
Pam very nice analysis n i mean it.

as usual mind blowing analysis!! amazing!!👏 i loved reading every bit of it!!

and let me start this with the one thing i notices when the episode started was the yellow dress. i was for a second transported back to the beautiful day back in the past when the love was brimming..and i wondered 4 that one second as to what memories would it leave this time around..and i wasn't disappointed..not at all!


hmm..i guess it goes on to say how good the episode was cz honestly i didn't notice the BDs at all until someone pointed at it in the forum sometime ago. i was too too caught up with what was unraveling to pay attention to that aspect..

now i loved how u described that very first scene where they r both after one coveted objective..the key as u said..and arnav refusing to surrender it while Khushi is hell bent on getting it. and it is anjali prompted by Khushi that assists her to overthrow arnav's decision and get to the proverbial key.

and in all honestly i can never blame arnav for reacting the way he did towards what khushi did, cz from where he is coming she s putting on a show..but had he been hidden from her view (and he also knowing she thinks she is alone with lakshmi) her words would have created a completely different reaction out of him..but *sigh* he thought he was pretending and his control snapped..

and khushi's utter confusion as well as her need to know the complete truth cementing even further..her determination as well as the lengths she is willing to travel in order to access this all important truth is also accelerating.. there seems to be an utter recklessness in khushi on this matter..

in the scene near the poolside, well arnav practically lost it!he alomost told her everything..and she is now 100% sure there is something very sinister and vital..she got enough clues today that one small shove and she would figure it all out..

again as u said the manner she was dragged out, making her leave the sanctuary of the room and him leaving her there alone and severing the connection b/w them and hurting her in the process..well done scenes..
it certainly is a reflection of the close future.. he will castigate her without giving her a chance to explain herself and even if she explains, pleads and begs he will not believe her (as said in he will not let her tears to weaken his resolve) she will eventually get hurt beyond acceptance and seeing this and realizing the truth (or would he be back just cz she is hurt and not cz he knows the truth? this part i am confused about) he will rush back to her. and she as u said hurt more than enough refuses his overtures and

"
She not only punishes him but also herself .."
this is also true cz she says she deserves to be hurt, which hurts him further to know she is hurt and yet not letting him attend to her wounds..she will not give him a chance to heal her broken heart, for it would ultimately get broken with the way he would keep treating her..
and i loved how she almost said "I can't believe u r the same person that i LOVED", and this is the 2nd time she almost said this to her on this very poolside! and the 1st time was the night when she had burned her hand and mistreated by everyone and their confrontation took place..
therefore why do i feel that khushi after knowing he thinks of her in that way will try to clear the misunderstanding and she will even come close to admitting how much she loves him to do something to hurt him and his di..but she will not confess she will stop herself realizing it s of no use to lay her heart bare at his feet..

and then Shyam an Anjali comes and khushi despite being hurt so badly and been mistrusted, scorned and punished by Arnav moments ago still refuses to leave his side, she not only shelters him but also defends him..she will always stand by him against the world no matter what happens..
she might not let him back in to her life when it is dire for herself, when she is the one who needs his shelter she will not let him in and will let herself suffer..but when it is him who is in trouble she will stand by him..and be a solid front once again, just for him and his sake..

in this moment what should have been noticed by Arnav and Khushi was,
1) Khushi - should have seen the undeniable tension b/w the two men!! they were almost at each others throats and Khushi was facing the 2 of them! she should have noticed this even in her subconscious mind..my only defense 4 her is she was distracted by trying to hide her tears and pain as well as deflect Anjali's attention and safeguard arnav

2)Arnav - should have noticed how even moments after him hurting her and giving her so much hurt she defends him against shyam! she takes his side and covers things from Shyam!! Arnav should have seen this!! had she really been what he accused her of wouldn't this been the perfect opportunity for her to manipulate and get out of this situation! she should shave exploited the cards she was handed out instead of protecting him and solidifying what he said!


hmm as us aid very well Shyam's influence is increasing..but one more fact is obvious..whatever he makes anjali see, he CAN'T make her act as he wants!! he showed the Arnav-Khushi fight in order to elicit a reaction out of Anjali! and react she did! but did she react in the manner he wanted? NO SHE DIDN'T!! she did the exact opposite!!
this is not the 1st time this has happened when snake prompts her and misguides her and she lets herself be misguided, but the reaction she gives even when she sees things through his POV is exactly the opposite of him and things that thwart his aims dead on!!she has no idea what she is doing, but she will play an imp role along with naniji to make sure arnav-khushi stays together..
wonderfully done!


and hmm i agree with what u said Sathya on how naniji behaved! she brought in Khushi in to the fold and gave her the due respect and position in the family..
but something makes me wonder, khushi was once again standing in front of the family council all alone while arnav had left her to fend to herself..is this future? would this be repetitive every single time?
but well this time it all panned out differently..last time she was an outsider and she was left to be an outsider..but this time even when arnav was an outsider she was called in to the fold, was in fact treated with love being showered with fond affection(sanka devi)!! would this mean what i think it does?

and truly i agree to what u said about the foursome of Arnav-Khushi-Payal-Akash..their lives r so entwined that every action of one affect the lives of all the other 3..and they r irrevocably connected..and PaYash r one day going to act as the guardian angels towards ArHi ensuring that they were brought together..
i really love the fact that the CVs r solidifying PaYash relationship..i even feel that it is consummated and truly a hubby-wife relationship despite all the jokes we had on them..this is imp cz the stability of their bond, theri ability to not be affected by what will go wrong b/w ArHi-Anjali-Shyam and to stay together wil go a long way towards ensuring ArHi stays together..


waiting 4 Doods explanation cz this episode seriously was good!! i just loved every bit of it!!

sathya awesome analysis 🤗 And me happy with today's epi aftr lot of cribbing 😆'
Thnx to doods and u for ur strong post to CVs, i hope u guys keep such constructive criticism coming up and CVs get a whack when they butcher the show..

i was so hoping for an disastrous OTT comic epi again which will again get on my nerves but CVs took me with a surprise😆
For what i expected and what i got, i must say i loved the epi at least i could connect with the character's and where do they come from.. Was this epi coz of weekend SPA airing and IPK bagging many awards, they knew certain set of ppl out of curiosity will switch on to this show today..

I liked the fact that today's epi moved to a larger extent, Arnav hinted too many things to kushi, kushi is hiding something major from him, and him accusing her and suddenly getting so raged and being so protective to Anjali and his mannerism towards his jee-ja-ji are something to ponder on, hope she tries to connect the dots..

And on the other hand i wud want CVs to throw some light on kushi's innocence in frnt of Arnav as well, him seeing her discomfort near shyam and over hearing their talks or something like that so that even he can connect the dots.
Coz right now CVs are not showing Khushi's lack of discomfort at Shyam asking her if she was okay,she was nonchalant, no hint of discomfort on her face, or her inability to notice the cold vibes between Arnav and Shyam..

I think Arnav gave away lot many hints today to kushi , I dont want you to be near di. I wont let you HURT di. I wont let you RUIN her life. What you did disgust me...And i wish i could say it to all..
She really needs to think about this nw and i really hope they dnt push her back to annoy him and get out of hme..

Before the show ends i want to watch kushi's love and care towards Arnav atleast to stay for a week 😳, *phew* i hope im nt asking too much, i dono i find this character a very tormented soul, lost childhood, a terrible past which has scarred him for life, lost all happiness and when was on the verge on finding happiness it came all crashing down..
So this is my only wish to CVs 😆

I found Anjali way too poky in nature, how can one enter her bro's bedroom and ask about their fights, its something between hubby and wife, she should hv rather tld shyam to nt interfere in their matter..

And about time payash sacrificed something for arhi 😆

Im so hoping this will lead to MU clearing track and again nt revert back to 101 ways to annoy audience 😆

And this was my fav scene for today 😃 Though without BD's for KKG wud have hd more impact
The Sleeping arrangement which caused so much heartburn amongst the followers of the show has been resolved quite amicably and also quite clearly showing that the final call is always made by Arnav and Khushi gives in !!
