Lovely analysis Tants, Doods and Pam!

The episode was nice, Taking into consideration that the CVs have to correct their wrongs...

Yesterday when I felt it is going to be a comedy drama, Tants told me,not to judge too fast, CVs can pull out a romance out of the blue... Hmm I was not disappointed, Tants you were right again!

1. Only two souls which are very close can share that instinct- be it whether the other person is not OK, the other person calls out ot you... we sometimes feel this with our close ones too.. the CVs have protrayed that well... Arnav was jealous once when NK used to say Kushi understood what he wanted to convey... Now Arnav's soul would have rejoiced, for NK she only corrected the word, For him, she voiced his thoughts as well...

Loved Loved the bold

2. I was dissappointed with Kushi's non-reaction when he came out, Let her guard her against her feelings for him... But they are not quiet comfortable with eachother that she can give that reaction to his naked torso... they havent been in a physical realationship still, and he hadnt exposed his torso to her frequently in the past, only once, and the very second time, she becomes used to it? No I cannot but that... even in practical sense, If she becomes so used to his physical appearence so fast, with not even a blush... He will feel bad baba!😳

3. Recliner sleep! you all have explained it beautifully, I am not repeating it... But one thing I felt like mentioning is this... When he woke up he was restinghis head on her shoulder, he lifted his head, on his direct view, was her sleder neck... see his expressions here, trying to control himself, he swallows, her head is not falling like it did in the middle of the night, but he puts it across, hiding her delectable neck and prefers her face, jus t to control himself...

Attention CVs- this attraction is needed from Kushi's side as well 😡

yes, i second this..

4. Shyam will slither out of the situation again... his wife will be as ready as always to buy whatever reason he would give... but this will be used again mush later when she comes to know of the truth.

@bold: yes they are building the future track

Tant nice synopsis and liked the brief description of the entire episode. Yeah it was kind of filler but then I really applaud the creative team for correcting the characters. As usual you leave me speechless and thanks always for giving me the pleasure to read a wonderful piece of writing. It's TANTASTIC. 👏 👏 👏

Finally an episode where there were no much bloopers and BD except in Arnav's bedroom scene where Anjali did shoot that separately in the beginning and in the end when Shyaam was there. The rest was fine with all the characters intact. Wow the battleground is prepared and the first move was made by the Devil straight to the other players. I loved the episode just because of the DEVIL's move.

Before I get into the essence of the episode one thing I would like to say here that by now 4 Lions you must have understood what the mess you all have created before. Right??? Naa I will not talk harshly today as I know you really have worked hard to clear up the mess. From keeping the characters intact to moving the storyline; from getting Khushi to legally enter AR for the so called demanded "Office Romance" to paving the way for Anjali's future track; from starting Shyaam's moves to building on Arnav-Khushi Equation; EVERYTHING. I know there were many flaws in today's episode but since damage was already done earlier, you cannot run away from it. Just think if there were mosquitos earlier existent around the Pool area then how did Arnav and Khushi slept so peacefully by the Pool. Right??? Then editing flaw again but not major as yesterday. Once or two that Tant mentioned but it's ok since there were not close up shots taken earlier.

Now, as I am describing the corrections of today's episode I'll explain them one by one. When on Friday, Mar 23^rd I showed my displeasure about Khushi's OTT behavior and how you have used the old archive to carry forward on that track. What did I say there??? Do it methodically. Old ideas are never bad but before scripting we always need to figure out what the back grounds are. Right??? There, no love was involved and here it is involved; here sympathy and compassion both are involved. We know "Devdas" was made by many filmmakers but it is the treatment that made each one of them unique. Same way the actual novel "Parineeta" never had Lalita worked in Shekhar's father's company as she was a teenager but the way Pradeep Sarkar treated is so unique.He designed it to fit in today's generation; it had the 21^st century mentality yet not a 21^st century film. That should be a treatment when you use the old concept. I am really glad that you listened and today's bed scene was exactly that. A very old wine in a new bottle concept yet again, but, treated to fit in the characters and situations of Khushi and Arnav. Yes, in your earlier project the same way the bed was made wet and one slept on the floor and the other one slept on one side of the bed. Remember??? I still remember. Today we saw the flame made Khushi put buckets of water and so they ended up on the lounger. There, they were not married and here, they are and share same emotions, at least deep down their hearts. I loved that scene as Tant mentioned it in details so I will not touch base on that. But I loved the treatment of this old idea. I hope tomorrow when Khushi makes the announcement at AR you treat nicely as that is also an old idea. Remember???

This Khushi what we saw today is the Khushi Arnav loves and not the Khushi that was in last week with her OTT antics. I think have mentioned this earlier, Arnav loves that Khushi, when after the deal papers scene, the next morning she said - "aur aap ke liye bhi maine rang socha hain.." Arnav then asked - "Kya"??? Then Khushi ran towards the bathroom and said "Kaala". Yes, that is the Khushi Arnav loves and not the Khushi who intrudes a workplace and promotes her jalebis. Today we saw that sympathetic Khushi when she checked his hand and at the same time that bubbly girl who wanted to laugh but asked for apology first from her DM on Arnav's helplessness. This is our Khushi and thanks for bringing her back. Now judge yourself Creative Team, when you showed Arnav's anatomy to his fans it was logical and not like the one earlier where only to show her soap clad bare torso you degraded Khushi's character by turning off the valve. Today, it was logical and I didn't mind it. Otherwise I would have chewed you up. I must say here though Sanaya did really good and not at all OTT at the bed scene which was an old idea but she didn't remind me at all about the other show's female actor. Good Job.

Next comes another scene where Khushi's legal entry to AR was shown. Yes, I know I mentioned this on Friday that I have no qualms for her to enter AR Designs or your track on "Office Romance", because this is needed to establish the "Arnav-Khushi Equation" but I wanted it logically. She should enter AR in a logical and legal way and not intrude there because whatever it is the situation where she is right now, for her to enter AR like she did last week was "UNJUSTIFIABLE". That was so not Khushi. Today, 4 Lions have corrected. I know I said if the script writer would have known KKG's character then they would have made her start the business somewhere outside and when Anjali and Naani would have come to know of this new venture like they came to know on Friday, then they would insist her why start outside when there is AR and she is the Raizada bahu so she can easily start her venture at AR citing the reason when she has a readymade platform then why look outside. With their insistence, MIND IT, with their insistence, and Arnav's request (as Arnav never declines Anjali's request) then Khushi would have also supplied the food to AR employees and outside AR. Now, today exactly like that upon Naani's insistence Khushi entered AR. This is how you should do and I am glad you all listened. I loved that dining table breakfast scene and also another correction you did is Naani didn't comment on Maami's jiber jabber but what came out of the table was Maama- Mami's little hubby wifey fight which was "Adorable". I loved that and I want to see more of that. It's not insulting of any character but with these little little scenes, the younger generations do learn that "love never dies".

"Beauty is mysterious as well as terrible. God and devil are fighting there, and the battlefield is the heart of man" ~ Fyodor Dostoevsky

The above quotation by Dostoevsky, is in one statement, the summarization of today's episode. Perfect. The entire 5% message that this episode contains is in this one quote. Yes, beauty is mysterious and terrible; some of us see it as good and some of us try to acquire it illegally; the fight between the just and unjust always happens in our heart; we fight for it within and the decision maker for it is always our "heart",which is our battleground; but who is the winner here??? The Devil or the God??? A human being always consists of both the sides - dark and fair. Dark signifies the Devil and fair signifies GOD. Our actions are the makers of our character and today we have seen how the devil made his first move. It is our thought process on which one to choose; the person who chooses the dark is called Devil 'coz he portray himself as Devil where as the man who chooses the fair is portrayed as God or rather "Just".

If we define beauty here then for Arnav this beauty is "Love" which is terrible right now; for Shyaam the beauty is "Khushi's anatomy" which is mysterious to him; for Khushi the beauty is "Truth and Love" which is mysterious as well as terrible.

Shyaam's character is back and I think Mr. Roy's paper, which I guess is the "Transaction Statement" of Anjali-Shyaam joint account will correct whatever damage been already done and rectified; because if that is not done then it will be very difficult for the CVs to justify Shyaam's character and his move that he started today at the dining table. Or, it can be the legal contract of 6 months of Khushi-Arnav wedding which will be absurd as Mr. Roy is their family legal advisor and Arnav cannot disclose the deal behind their wedding. Or, something else that Arnav planned to check the status of dealing between Shyaam and Khushi. Or, it can be the deal papers that Aakash signed at the restaurant for Khushi to be seen later and her brains will start working on the "Chot" that Arnav mentioned earlier, which also will make way for the "Promo" to fit in. Now, this one I will want, as the only player that needs to join the ongoing game is "Khushi".

I don't know what the papers contain as of now but this scene was important for future when Anjali will be forced to think of Shyaam's manipulations, which in turn will be instrumental in opening her eyes.

Let me come to the triangle theory now or rather to the battle ground. The first move by Shyaam - "saale sahab kuch maangna chahatein hain lekin aapne aawaz ke karan majboor hain" to Arnav and the best move was "Makkhan dene mein aur badi deal sign karne mein bahut farak hota hain" to both Khushi and Arnav. Oh Wow. His first hint and I guess no one's ready to pick it yet. Whatta Irony??? Arnav will take it as Shyaam's displeasure in Khushi accompanying him to AR and Shyaam used that against Arnav based on his knowledge of Arnav's judgment regarding Khushi's "Low Intelligence". Fantastic. Here is the drawback in both of their thought processes. Let's see -

1. Arnav is unaware of "Shyaam 'Khushi Equation"

2. Shyaam doesn't know the depth of "Arnav-Khushi Equation".

But today we saw both the equations been started. How??? Always remember when you love someone you may save him/her from stepping into a bad situation but never would degrade him/her. Arnav may think at this moment that Shyaam tried to save Khushi from being with him but what he needs to realize that in turn he made a mockery of Khushi's intelligence. Which itself is a weapon against Shyaam. This will help in confusing Arnav when he will connect the dots.

The best track that started was "Arnav-Khushi Equation" and I am glad the CVs showed it separately and Shyaam has no idea about it. For some, it is Rabba Ve moment but for the story it is just the beginning of their equation. Many would think if she senses so much then why not she senses her love for him or his love for her; how will she??? Whenever she senses he thrashes her heart; put yourself in her position??? Can you??? Can you even dare to think that way??? Every person needs some confirmation and when she will get she will realize and believe me we are heading towards that.Today I saw the game is moving with Shyaam stopped to portray that he is changing. Yes, what happened in the dining table Shyaam witnessed but that can be taken as Khushi's good upbringing; he knows Khushi's philanthropic nature and he will take it that way. "Arnav - Khushi Equation" is the most important key factor in this game-plan and this we witnessed today outside RM on their way to the office. Remember one thing as much this equation is important in the game it is that much important that these two players understand this; they feel this. As I had written in the analysis of "Subconscious Confession" episode that whatever Shyaam does there is one very important equation that he will NOT be considering here. That is "Arnav-Khushi Equation".

I was about to reply to Tant on what she said in her post on why dint she understand his love? she did, that was the time wen she was flying high..she was happy wen she felt her love for him (i love those dhak dhak scene of hers and where she sees him everywhere) but he jus thrashed her feelings..wen she was not even sure that the feelin was love and wanted to get his confirmation , he jus said that "u dont even exist for me" and she cried and cried(doods..ur fav diwali scene) and she jus couldnt see herself breaking and closed her door of love forever..after diwali there has been many scenes where she felt he has feelings for her..but she dint even open her mouth as she knows that if she asks he will break her..tant ur saying(konjinal minjidum..minjinaal konjidum applies here too) and hence unless he opens his mouth and says "I love u khushi, i need u forever"(i really want to see Arnav saying this..but million dollor que..when 😭). she will not even think that she is in love with him.

Today we saw when they were leaving for office Arnav called her from behind and she even in a conversation still could figure out that he called her. Yes, remember in the Holi confession analysis I had used this quote of Sigmund Freud to describe the conscious and subconscious state of mind - "The conscious mind may be compared to a fountain playing in the sun and falling back into the great subterranean pool of subconscious from which it rises". Yes, whatever the confession that happened in the Holi episode was in intoxicated state but deep down it was their feelings for each other that already exists. They will always sense each other for their souls are bonded together. Logically, how can he/she, but in real life too we just sense certain things and sometimes it's the "Connection" that's brings us closer and not the amiability. This is the clue that Khushi had dropped in Shyaam's ears and he didn't pick up that day when she spilled the beans. This clue will prove why after knowing the truth Khushi will forgive ASR in a snap of a finger; this clue will prove why Khushi understood all the words that ASR couldn't even voice it today; this clue will prove why Khushi realized Arnav's decisions even when he didn't talk; this clue will prove when Khushi will learn the truth between Shyaam and Arnav she will support Arnav even after what Arnav had done to her for she understands him and his actions; for hurting him is what she would never think of even in her worst nightmare.

Yes, Shyaam Manohar Jha,the Devil, is only thinking in one direction just to save his stance for he doesn't know the Love that Khushi and Arnav share is "Unconditional" and will feel as if he achieved triumph but that will be temporary for as Martin Luther King, Jr. says ~ "I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant".

P.S. I Know I know 4 Lions - "aap chahein ya naa chahein hum aapke gale padh hi gaye".

Thank you Sathya and Doodle for giving this beautiful post ... I love how you all fill this forum with so much positivity every day

I loved how they used Arnav's "Allergic Laryngitis" thing in today's episode ... I'm sure they acquired some technical consultation here... I loved that CVs, keep it up 👏... we love anything that brings Arhi close together don't we ???...actually in real life such people CAN talk in whispers but we can grant small creative liberties in a soap...I wish they keep in mind corporate ethics next time just to make it all more believable for the intelligent viewers of this show ... otherwise it hurts our sensibilities ...

The episode opened with Arnav lying atop Khushi , a match stick alight on his, A magical match stick , Mind You !! cos Arnav took a tumble and fell down and the match stick never extinguished ** while it always does for me * both fall on the bed ...

ROFL! So true! It should have extinguished but didn't.. serial hain na. 😉


Two things I liked in this segment, The quick reflex of Barun as he ducks the buckets .. Arnav allowing Khushi's penchant for dramatics a free rein before firmly catching her and pointing out the obvious ...Khushi's instant concern for Arnav's hands

I laughed at Arnav's gesture where he ducks when she splashes a bucketful of water on the bed. I swear I could hear his loud "WHAT THE"

The battle for recliner begins in deadly earnest with both doing a 5 meter hurdle race...Khushi aided by her duppatta practically flies on to the recliner and claims half of the lounge chair, pushing Arnav to the edge of the chair ** while the eternally sacrificing SP Bahus close their eyes in despair at this very Un SP Like attitude ** Arnav being a fair man and not having any stamina to indulge in a shriek fight with a virago wisely closes his mouth and settles down for the night !!
NOT ABLE TO STOP LAUGHING.. You're adorable Tants!



The scene I liked ; Arnav even in his half sleepy state tenderly adjusting Khushi's posture, unwilling to see her in pain ... That was the sweetest moment! More so when he sleeps next to her. Love even in subconscious brings them together. Nothing can keep these two away from each other methinks. 😳

The slow progress from the end of the lounger to finally claiming his rightful spot by her side..Lovved it

@sunshine99: Totally agree with you sunshine. This episode was too disjointed for me to enjoy. The questions that you raised ( in bold) are what bother me the most!

As far as I am concerned...CVs have compeltely and utterly annihilated the character of Khushi for me. One moment she can lip read him and another moment, she acts all confused when he throws gold cues at her (monday fight). She suspects that Arnav's 'chot' may be due to Shyam but still never connects the dots based on the recent clues given on Monday.

Now I wish Monday's fight episode had never happened.

If only they had shown Wednesday's episode ( lip reading scenes etc) on Monday and THEN brought the fight scene on...followed by all the vengeful/ passionate honeymoon dance etc... then Khushi's behaviour would makde some sense. How can any girl be all chirpy and happy when her husband of 6-month marriage clause, shouts at her, manhandles her, hurts her (albeit unintentionally) and tells her cruel things like : ' I will never believe your tears' ; 'you deserve whatever is happening to you' and then before honeymoon dance says 'do NOT weave any dreams'. Specially when all this was said as recently as a day earlier. Infact the cruel pre-dance words were said just a night ago!! Khushi's character is left with no iota of self-respect.

If the comedy related to lip reading and coil was necessary to bring, how I wish that it had happened earlier, before the monday-fight, to attain some consistency.. Bringing it after such a give-away fight makes it a hotch potch story!!

I dont know what to believe about khushi's character anymore..except that she is bipolar with severe amensia!

Arnav's character seems to be following a similar route. His saving grace, so far, is the lack of dialogues (him remaining quite) so the bipolar nature is somewhat hidden.

Perhaps we all have missed the point... maybe IPKKND is a love story between two bipolars??

P.S: cant wait for Dood's post as I am certain she will personally murder each one of the CVs after what they have shown today.

"Khushi can even hear her name being called inaudibly when her back is turned but cant sense the love he has when her back is turned or when he goes silent... CV's answer me this riddle ??"

Tanthya, this is exact question I had when I saw this scene. The girl cannot understand his love nor pain when both are staring at her in her face but she can understand his mute call at her back. But apart from that, I loved that scene, especially ASR shock conveyed beautifully by Barun. Another thing that I want to add is, currently he hates her and still he is so sweet and caring, imagine how he will be when the whole MU is cleared.😍

awww..i would love to c that pam..

So let me say my daily mantra, "Fantastic Synopsis, Tanthya" especially the last paragraph.

Below is my analysis:

Baat to samajne ki hain, chaye badi ho ya chhoti

This one sentence has many innuendos but I am only going to addressed only two today:

First is the family, who through small things that are happening between Arnav and Khushi, are understanding the love that is existing between these two people. They are witnesses to their closeness, their passion, their rage and their love. When this whole fiasco blows up, they might not be so understanding. They will blame Arnav, for his behavior, his actions, his sins and the injustice done to Khushi. Arnav has never defended himself and he will not defend himself even then but it will Khushi who like today will be conduit, who will explain his intentions, who will justify his actions, and who will be voice to his spoken and unspoken thoughts because in the end its all about understanding.

s pam..wow..good one actually..u said it right..it will be khushi even then..as Arnav never defended himself..

Second is Khushi: There have been many questions in his thread that will Khushi understand Arnav and his motives, will she be able to forgive him and the answer always has been that yes, she will understand and she will forgive him. It will be Arnav who will be not be able to forgive himself.

Today Khushi understood everything that Arnav said or implied, she has become attuned to him, to his moods, to his expression, to his thoughts and even to his speech. If she can understand this, will she not be able to understand his past intentions especially when she has been a witness to the depth of his relationship with his sister. Will she not be able to understand his actions when she knows how important Anjali's happiness is to him? Will she be not be able to justify them, when she will know that he did them for the exact same reason she kept her mouth shut and that is for the baby. She will because in the end its all about understanding , which is nothing but the first step to forgiveness.

Who would have thought "Takniki Kharabi" can be a ray of hope.

Many of us have been questioning, yes even me, that how can she forget the past two days of confrontation. I really cannot answer that question, but I can say that it is there in her mind. We have seen that with Shyam, that as soon as she got a hint that something is wrong, she connected the dots in a few mins and without stopping she went forward with the confrontation. Similarly, tomorrow (today in IPKKND calendar) is important as today she is going see Arnav in his playground and he is going to see the actual Khushi.

Purely speculating, I think three things can happen and only if Arnav's and Khushi mind is back from vacation.

Khushi will observe Arnav, she will know how ruthless he can be when dealing with people, how manipulative he can be when he is decides on a course, how conniving he can be to make things go his way, how swift he can be in initiating things without worrying about the consequences but she is also going to witness to his subtle change in behavior towards a cheater or an innocent. She is going to file all this and when the whole fiasco of Mr Roy comes out (she is in office, high hopes here), when she knows that it was nothing to do with Payash's divorce papers but something to do with Shyam, she is going to start the process of connecting the dots, hopefully.

On the other hand, Arnav confusion is increasing, not only about Anjali-Khushi relationship but also about his relationship with her. He has started noticing, her attachment to him, her acceptance of him, her affection towards him and her comfortableness around him. The realization is going to grow and the moment he sees her hesitance, her avoidance, her un-comfortableness with Shyam, he is going to start connecting the dots.

well well..what can i say..i really want to c this soon..

Or she will know they were never Payash divorce papers, she will threaten to leave, he will blackmail and we all will be right where we started.

nooo..i dont want this blackmailing track again...why doesnt khushi understand that it is not any other competition for her to win..but its her life and think of any other way other than threatening..

Whichever way the CV's go (there can be a fourth way), I hope we are heading towards the terrace.

Anjali: I just want to write about her today.

In this forum, there are many different views about her that she is weak, she is blind, she is dumb, she is sweet, she is cute but today the only emotion I feel for her is sympathy and this emotion was triggered when I saw Arnav and her interaction when he tells her about his bad throat. That scene was beautiful in its own way, like a son cribbing to his mother and I loved it, so let me explain:

Anjali has built this world around her and in our journey with IPKKND, we have seen many times, her negating situations which even hint at breaking this glossy world of hers be it Lavanya, Khushi's marriage or yesterday's honeymoon. She is not strong but she makes sure that her world remains floating in cloud of happiness. But the two main pillars who keep her world floating is Shyam and Arnav, two people she cannot survive without.

One is the person, who is her "pati paremeshwar". A person for whose happiness she can sacrifice anything, a person who she is so possessive about that she start panicking even if he leaves her sight for a min, a person who even if hints on leaving her sends her into a state of despair, a person who she is totally linked to for her emotional well being, a person for whom sometimes her need is greater than her breath.

On the other hand we have Arnav. We all know that Arnav and Anjali have a very weird relation almost an unhealthy relationship. They both are dependent on each other. She is a mother to him, and he is like a father to her, both in a way filling that gap, that was left by the death their parents. She cares about Arnav a lot, she is not possessive about him, but she always has that underlying worry about him , so that even a small hint of danger or hurt to his well being fills her with terror. Sometimes it even seems that her concern for Arnav is more than Shyam itself and why will not be, mothers always care more for their children than their husbands. Suffice to say that if shyam is her breath, Arnav is her heart, both essential for her to live.

beatuful..pam i jus loved this part..

Saying this what will be the impact on her when she knows that her world is standing on shaky pillars, that her world is just a hoax, that the reality is as different from her dream as it can be That her two pillars are not in harmony but infact have become enemies. That, to keep one she has to let go another.That she has to choose between the husband or the son. A choice that can scare even a strong willed woman, then this is Anjali , a person whose reality starts with betrayal and ends with betrayal, not only by her husband but also by the brother she so adores.

I always thought that Arnav's repentance is going to be painful to watch but today I feel that Anjali's Agnipariksha will be doubly painful to see.

PS:

1. What happened to the two extra chairs that we saw during the Mehendi tea scene or were they removed so that "Chhoti Bahu" remains standing. What an injustice to her!!!
2. Use BD's but please use the one that are believable like someone whose age, hair and hand color at least matches to the leads.

Edited: PS - How many more times will we have to see Barun's shirtless body,pray tell? Its amazing but do we really have to see it again and again...

pam, as doods mentioned today we were able to understand that it was needed,but the previous one were not needed.
