Thanths.. Loved it.. !!

If l overlook the discontinuity the episode was amusing and quite enjoyable.. !!

Let me start with what I found a bit strange.. I accept ASR trusts his loved ones to do their best.. and the prospect of this deal was in Akash's hands yet I fail to accept the man that has been portrayed as a control freak did not look into the details.. he has stated repeatedly everything is under his control things go the way he would like them to.. fine individuals make mistakes and he's only human but they are established businessmen for them to make such a grave mistake simply to portray the importance K has in his life seemed unnecessary to me.. the message was acceptable but I simply fail to accept it could not have been brought about another way..

Now for what I thoroughly enjoyed.. the gradual progression in ArHi's marriage their acceptance of one another was a treat to watch.. ASR demands his wife be given her due respect with one look he silenced his employees and commands she be treated as his equal.. hence somewhere in his heart the hope lives on that this marriage will last his expectations will be proven incorrect.. and K will remain where he has always wanted to see her by his side.. another one of my personal favorites had to be the conversation in the car.. K's proclamation that she enjoying talking business mainly because she was KKGSR and she could say whatever she wanted...no hesitation.. no shame.. simply stating a fact.. she has not only accepted his name but the duties.. perks...everything that goes with it.. similar to her hubby she is quite comfortable in her new avatar.. and is in no hurry to let go of the individual she cares for..

The car sequence came across so naturally that it was a treat to watch.. ASR's expression.. be it anger, concern... amusement.. or that smirk when she said she saved his company .. were all perfect..K telling him to speak.. not with words but with actions was too cute..she finds comfort even in his anger.. because she knows his anger is far better then his silence.. but more importantly it was just nice to see them actually have a decent conversation.. even if one could only express..it was more then enough for her to decipher his denotations..

I understand the need for K to save ASR but truly for con artists to discuss their plans in the parking lot that bit was difficult to digest.. irrespective of their intentions...!!

K was adorable in the office sequence true to her nature she begins to rattle on when nervous did you notice that raise of his eyebrow when she said she would handle everything.. it was not disbelief but realization that she was not about to stop. I found him simply sitting there allowing her to get everything out adorable... he has become so accustomed to her antics that nothing surprises him anymore..😆

The meeting was enjoyable more so because ASR's expressions were priceless.. bemused.. as she babbled on about her new business.. irritation.. grasping her hand to ask What the hell she was doing.. more importantly though I enjoyed the scenes that followed.. ASR has been keenly observing his active wife's concern.. refusal to give in irrespective of the situation.. and the need to fix things on her own.. hopefully he will keep this in mind when the truth is revealed.. because even though she lowered her eyes for a mere second she lifted them up once again portraying she may have hid something but her intentions have always been good.. I loved how innocently she asked do your really believe anyone can make mistakes even you.. I felt like saying Yes he will find out very soon how wrong he was where you were concerned.. !!

And the best line.. Akash saying there is always a reason behind K's actions.. truly ASR keep this one in mind dear.. it will come in handy later on..!!

Also loved Anjali not completely giving into Shyam's justification... it was good to see him sweat.. mumble.. and strive to find an explanation... hopefully all pointing to the unveiling of the truth..

loved ur post yar, mza a jata hai! ❤️

it was such a good epi..omge 4 the 1st time anjali was out of her trance created by snake,almost every time it feels like snake has used black magic on her to act so dumb but yesterday she actually didn't believed him and 4 some time she was afraid on hearing the wealth thing from his mouth...

Arhi in office, awww man loved how he gave a daze to that man calling her bhabhi,he wanted him to respect her..! loved what u said about phone call and A openly demanding her help..so much progress in their relation ship,nd this time pure progress not aik episode wali😆..he really has started to open himself to her, his ASr has almost slept 4 her,only arnav 4 her..!

omge completely loved that 5 minute meeting..at first i was shocked what khushi is doing,ruining his deal,his work..but Sanaya made me love that segment inspite of negtive thoughts,loved her every posture and expression there,barun was silent but he was FULLY there in that scene..! loved both!

And kkgsr doing such a thing,i was feeling very proud on her lol, she was like full on 18 years old gal,if he is smart then she is also smart,if he is Mr.raizada then she is Mrs Raizada..loved how she used her brain there with out loosing her asli tadka😆,as u mentioned,she was not very intellgent there,but she used her every time running mind on perfect timings,loved that segment and i had a big reliefd breathe😆 and yeah its not something to point out arnav's brain it was just a little carelessness on akash's side.

aakash..these days m loving his character the most after khushi ..his calm anger is a dimnd price thing,loved his way of getting angry nd then later, accepting his mistake,giving credit to khushi with out any hesitation ..

Arhi convo after all the tamasha..the look arnie gave to khushi when akash said "bhabhi deserves treat",his eyes already accepted her deed!

loved that small car scene of arhi..loved arnav there..he was like i know u have done a big thing khushi😆..

so much progress in their relation ship but some where m confused about the progress in story..,but agree what u said in ur 1st note..

what he observed yesterday nd what akash said about khushi,i think its time 4 arnav to start understanding her real face,he loves her but he cant trust her just suddenly but he obviously can see her innocence,her care,and truth as her best way for leading her life...!

Khushi chirpy " Sometimes we do it just for fun and anyone can commit a mistake " a message and an indirect apology for the viewer's ..

ur line made me so so so much happy sathu 🤗 ,i really wish every bdy to understand this..!

Binny I loved ur post and the way u brought out the progress between Arnav and Khushi..


Yes, Arnav is noticing his wife's activities but will his mind allow him to draw out the map or will his anger cloud out his judgement ...Or will Shyam play a game so mean that Khushi will still be at fault despite being innocent... unpredictable days ahead..

Okay I think I have gone insane...have to be up in few hrs to go to off...but guess TGIF has settled on me ...so though I thought will post my comment over morning cup of coffee...couldnt resist...coz maybe if I sleep over my thoughts...the crunchy feeling that epi left on me will be lost in the bhaagam bhaag tomorrow...

Brilliant analysis like always...I guess u must be used to hearing that so much.,...😊

*Tongue in cheek ** I never tire of hearing it 😉

Coming to the points which I wanted to address thats y such a hurried comment -

1) Ur speech 👏 - totally agree...thats wat I made a post on the other day and tried to say - Discontinuity,shoddy editing...jumping scripts...stringent budgets...are all happening...but then its a daily soap with new Production house...and some days we need to see that other than going on cribbing...they have been doing lately okay with the actors' wardrobes, they did the Holi sets...in the limited budget they try to make a novelty presentation of the RM sets...whenever occassion arises...when Balaji started they used to rotate the Kahaani Ghar Ghar ki sets...as hotels,restaurants for each of their show...but look today...they sending the stars to Australia for honeymoon...using posh restaurants and hotels for setting...Ram's office is no set...so c the point is - this show has now got a cult following with a huge fan base of young impatient plus international audience...who are seeing the rose-tinted view of the Indian telly...while the truth is stark...the PH has to not only think of the budgets for stars and sets...there are 200-300 ppl who get their rozi roti from them !!! Definitely lots of improvement and expectations from them...but we cant go on criticising them for every frame...

👏👏👏

2) Though it was not a fantastic epi...little lost in the woods in patches...but today after a long time ,I felt that they tried to establish some points...which after Monday's episode...had gone suppressed...

Yes, Priya and also new window was opened when we saw Anjali still uneasy over the property issue ..

3) Shyaam-Anjali finally moving though slowly but to a new level...where mistrust is slowly creeping in !!!

4 ) It was for a reason ASR lost his voice yesterday...the damage which they did with their script...the rectification process had to start somewhere...if Monday they did it on face...today it was subtle but still clear...ASR trapped between the truth and lie...observing the caring,innocent and honest wife...how much he reads into these later...is wat needs to be seen...But yess the message was clear today...

5) Khushi was perfect today...thank God she doesnt come to the Forums 😆 oops i mean thank god she doesnt have the intellectual brains of the educated class...she innocently sees black as black and white as white...doesnt fight for the shades in black and shades in white...thats whu have loved her character always...even when she had been OTT...coz her heart is always in the right place...and thats y the akdu thick headed husband of hers also loves that in her !!!

6 ) yes the clever Businessman was almost conned...but that had resons...u said it all so wont get into anymore of it...even the best in the economy and Govt got sucked into the CWG scam...so it happens to all the best of us 😉

Enron and so many banks to name a few !! when Business tycoon Mallya can make a series of bad business call then Arnav is still a young turk .. ek do baar chot khaana tho bantha hai

I am sure dear wont have made any sense on the ranting above...but just needed to write before I buzz off ...and u give just the perefcect platform 👏

U are always welcome to use this platform

@Bold...first I apologize...no offense meant...but my two cents on this...

If the deal would have been looked after an employee and ASR was to sign the deal I would expect him to do the checking and his control freak stuff...but here it was Akash who was handling the situation...he treats him as an equal and with due respect...he would never doubt Akash's capabilities and would assume all had been done by him and would not question him at all...so here comes the trust part...which he has placed in very few ppl like Anjali and Akash and he does their bidding and agrees with them without a thought (well normally)...😃

I can see ur happiness in the postwa itself..

Barun and sanaya were on fire, I loved her Lauki ki sabzi and Keet Nashak talk ..and Arnav's mental Hospital look.. 😆😆


I would like to see the trust buildup too Aini but slowly and gradually along with trust should come doubts and a desire to know the truth ...while Khushi too must begin to wonder at the constantly changing face of Arnav.. she must stop living for dabba service and begin to focus more on WHY did Laad Governor change??

Lovely post Sathu. I didn't enjoy the epi for many reasons and I am glad there are members like you in the forum who are capable of seeing beneath the layers and put them out in the open for the rest of us. I love the fact you are always able to see positive things. 👍🏼

Hello Lovely Tamatars, Alloos and Pyaaz's...😃


Before I begin the Episode review ...I would like to say something off episode but I feel relevant... I have been asked by many of my friends whether I don't feel the discontinuity, don't I get that the episodes are disjointed ..To this poser, I will say , YES !! I can see the discontinuity , the patch up job , the use of BD's. I have only one reason for not remarking on this aspect. .. The Production house is young n a tyro ..As such they are cash strapped ...They cannot afford the luxury of re shooting an entire track ... Now Imagine this, PH having already shot for the future episodes when suddenly out of the blues they face a backlash for what they are airing currently ...Unlike other PH, this one quickly swings into damage control mode...The tracks are overhauled and sobered up , new scenes more in keeping with viewer's expectations are created but they don't want to junk the already canned scenes [ production costs aren't cheap] so they begin to use it creatively a few scenes here and there interspersed with new segments but overall keeping in sync with the MU track and if in the process some scenes appear disjointed or a feeling of discontinuity persists ..Then I am willing to turn a blind eye ... * Phew** There I am done with my speech. 😊

At bold - I am aware of it and I appreciate this fact very much

How was the Episode..Phenomenal , fantastic no, it was not but I enjoyed it bec Almost all were in character ...

The first scene between Shyam and Anjali ..Shyam caught with his hands in the proverbial til and who is the catcher , his own cuckoo wife Anjali ... Shyam has no room for escape but does that faze him no he creates few extra space and tries to pass off his presence by saying he is conducting an expedition into Arnav's closet in search of the evavsive Blue Kurtha , whe the look of suspicion persists on Anjali's face, he stops evading and says baldly that he was searching for a paper , A paper of ownership..Anjali is taken aback and shocked ..Shyam tries to pass it off as a joke but Wifey is not amused, mutters never to joke around like that again walks away ...



The Keyword in this scene was Anjali's word ' CHANGE " ... Yes, Finally things will be changing ..Anjali it is who is bringing in the change in Arnav Khushi's life [ by means of bedsheets , The old soiled one is removed and fresh one is put on suggesting the second innings of Arnav-Khuhsi's life ] but This change will lead to a negative fall out in Shyam's life, his bluster will not be successful...For the first time we saw Anjali not buying into Shyam's explanations and has begun to nurse lively suspicion ...

It was interesting to see too Anjali's reaction when Shyam says that he was looking for the deeds of ownership ... So far we had been thinking that Anjali had her head in the clouds but her shocked reaction makes me think that not only is she manipulative , in a quirky way she is also quite astute , she knows that wealth in her name is a magnet and the paaramparic [ traditional] naari is in no hurry to divest herself of it and give everything to her Pati , Anjali understands the power and danger of wealth ..Does she realize subconsciously that Shyam is only there for her Money ..Somehow there was a hint in todays episode that she might know but does not want to acknowledge consciously ...

I liked this scene very much and Anjali's character has more than what meets the eye.

Arnav and Khushi make into the office in one piece without strangling one another ... There were two instances I liked here before Arnav reaches the cabin ...The first was when Shuklaji calls Khushi Bhabhi ...Arnav who would be walking up ahead , lost in his own thoughts immediately pauses , turns and glares at Shuaklaji , who catching it instantly corrects it to ' Ma'am ' !!...


Wasn't this the same Arnav who used to bully & insult Khushi with taunts of Middle class mentality, low status ..one who would be comfortable with peons, Guards, servants now by quietly insisting on the formal Ma'am instead of allowing any informal Bhabhi hinting at equality, he has accepted Khushi is his equal and above the rest and he expects his staff not to cross the boundary ..

The second Instance was when he speaks to his uncomprehending PA , He turns and looks down where Khushi is waiting silently & openly seeking her help , Gazelle footed she immediately climbs the stairs reaches his position and helps him...An augury that Khushi might reach the same level of success perhaps but what struck me most was for the first time in the entire show, Arnav voluntarily and without feeling inferior openly sought Khushi's help..A monumental achievement for he was a man who prided on his ability to take care of everything himself, who did take care of everything himself , who hated weakness , who would not expose his chinks but there he was doing all the things he abhors why bec his inner self has accepted her ,loves her and he is not ashamed to show his weakness to her cuz he knows that she is strong enuf for both of them..



The Lawyer Mystery ..Arnav snatching the phone from Khushi and not talking in front of Khushi and the immediate shift of scene does imply that the issue is tied up with Anjali/Shyam and Arnav has taken certain steps that will be damaging to shyam if he were to contemplate dumping Anjali ..So Arnav has begun to tighten the noose but will Shyam oblige Arnav by hanging meekly or will he fight back using the cunning skills held in his repertoire ..I am plumping for latter ...

This could also be the first step for Khushi to get direct hint about Arnav's Chot & truth ...Khushi is puzzled and with her penchant for dramatics ..She may think Arnav is planning to disturb PAYASH combo , she may become interested to see the contents of the papers and when she learns , she may begin to connect the closely strewn dots

The lawyer scene was very interesting indeed and I hope the cvs work on this. I would love to see Khushi getting curious.



Loved the scene of S&S's arrival ...Khushi getting nervous and when she becomes nervous her mouth begins to do a marathon which is what she begun to do today ..The establishment of her nervousness was nicely done and it was properly married to her flair for dramatics as she begun to be puzzled by the duo wearing shades inside the office ...I also loved the touch of phone call which would get her outside just when the con artists decided to go out to get the file ** very nice touch and helping us to know how Khushi will know the truth and why she has to go out at that juncture**

The dialogue of Khushi ' All will turn out to be good" ..A assurance to viewers and also hint on the upcoming events about the track makes me happy !!


The CON'S in CONFERENCE ;


This was a segment that had me in splits ..Barun and SI were in top form .. it is not easy to remain quiet and yet mark his presence in the scene esp when ur co actor has been given witty lines and comedy being her forte, yet Barun managed to make his presence felt strongly...be it the initial baffled look on seeing the almost identical caricatures and his reservations and his outrage & Chagrin when Khushi babbles about onion .. ** Brilliant ** SI's Posture throughout the interaction..just lovved it man 😆..Baruns reaction when Khushi goes 5 paise deals was applause worthy .. suffice to say the conference became Desi Rachel's cookery show !! who conned whom is a moot point here 😉... Well Khushi manages to pack off S&S but Akash intrudes and the Raizada brothers move in for damage control .. They almost fall in to the trap set by the Con brothers when Police arrive in nick of time expose the frauds for what they are and elevate Khushi to SP Super heroine rank and depart .


An hilarious segment which just makes u forget the stress of the day...Yes It does appear strange to see Khushi figuring out the petty thieves but one has to remember that she did not use her intelligence or brilliance to realize they were thieves , she witnessed their plans and heard their plotting...The other thing one has to remember is that Khushi has a presence of mind and also the ability to enact noutanki at the drop of the hat ...She did the same when Kanya Pooja was going on and she used her lively mind to stop Arnav from leaving in the dhabba scene ...This was all in a days work for Khushi Kumari Gupta- Singh Raizada ...

Questions may arise that this was done at the cost of cutting down on Arnav's brilliance ... there might be some truth there but not the entire truth ...This was Akash's affairs, Akash had the details on his finger tips and not Arnav ..

Did u girls notice the anger of Akash, unlike Arnav he did not explode , he merely clenched his hands into a fist and with a steely look and firm voice said that Khushi did wrong ..he did not waste his time in spending his anger in recriminations he immediately began to move towards salvaging whatever he could from the mess...He will be an valuable ally !!


Now coming to the tail end of the episode... we were hit by 4 nuggets of gold...

One when Akash says that " Whatever Khushi does there will be a reason behind it "

A statement that when the time comes and when Arnav might not be amenable to reason, it might be Akash or Khushi i herself who might remind Arnav that she had a reason for her silence .



Khushi chirpy " Sometimes we do it just for fun and anyone can commit a mistake " a message and an indirect apology for the viewer's ..


Khushi again " when People are honest and telling the truth , they look u in the eye and never look away " and all the time Arnav looking her straight in the eye and Khuhsi too looking him in the eye only for it to shy away for a split second as she is hiding a truth from him..


Khushi again " Kisi se bhi galathi hosakthi hai, Aap se bhi"

A hint that Arnav is going to know the truth soon , will be realizing his mistake but will he accept it and say Thanks for keeping quiet or Sorry for doubting you ...


The truth has begun to awaken from its slumber ...


The next scene that I would mention briefly is that of Maami, Nani and Payal's scene ...i am loving the changing equation of this troika... Maami who hates the guts of the Gupta sisters now almost calls out their name with love ...Nani who used to bring out Maami's status in front of the younger generation and thereby lowering the status of Maami and at the same time demeaning herself now merely contends herself with a look which is understood by Maami who in a trice coos out her Bahu's names .. Respect has begun to creep into this relationship and I am loving it ..
..

I am glad that mami is finally calling KHushi and Payal by their names. 😊

and yeah khushi also needs to bother about things happening around her specially related to her lad governer..i was hell anoyed with her dabba service lines yesterday,wo tu bad main story kuch or nikli😆 Thank God...! only this is the problem sathi,when there is some seriousness in the story ,next episode comes out completely different than older script..!

and as far as the track is concerned i really dont want any thing very much easy,,there is aspoiler of arnav getting the truth and then arhi working as a team to deal with sham...i dont want forgivness nd confession like this..khushi must leave after 6 mnths nd it would be more amazing to watch , nd then a pure love track!

Tanthya ... I totally agree with your little speech. It would need a huge budget to show the type of wealth they have in their story.

Lets get on with the episode.

When Khushi started with her nonsense... I was like what the heck.. how can PH continue showing KSR trying to get back at ASR? See even I jumped to conclusion so fast.

Lots of lessons today:

Anjali - was my hub telling the truth? Seed of distrust has been planted by none other than her dear hubby. This time Shyam didn't succeed in fooling her. Isko koi mentos khila do...iske dimag ki batti jal jayegi. There has been so many times she has caught him.. she should be able to connect all of it. He has Khushi's picture on his mobile... go on Anjali .. discover it on your own please!!!!

Shyam - you cannot fool your wife always... even if you think you did.

Akaash - Do your hw properly... you are businessman - assuming with MBA.

Payal - Stick with nani and you will learn how to handle your sasuma. It is very easy to turn her aroud.

Khushi - Your man commands and demands the respect for you from everyone... with a single glare. Surely that's gotta mean something?

Arnav - Your lady love will always protect you and what holds dear to you - even if she seems like a buffoon to you at times. Even if she is not sure of herself... she will always help you. Listen to Akash - "Whatever u do Khushi... there is always a reason". Listen to yourself - "eveyone makes mistakes". Are you making a mistake judging khushi too harshly? Her actions speak otherwise. Your wife, with her quick thinking and sensibility, saved you quick bit of money. Don;t be a kanjoos... give her a nice treat!!!!

Once again ... totally loved Khushi's attitude today. With all the turmoil in her life.. she never misses a chance to have fun. She can carry out a full on faltoo conversation with such ease! That is a gift. Sanaya does it quiet effortlessly I must say.

Hopefully tomorrow it won't be a lame episode... we need a cliffhanger. Otherwise how will I look fwd to Monday's episode?

Aini,

It is bec they are mixing the previously shot OTT track with the new serious wala track..hence the potluck episodes ..one they get the rhythm ..they will begin to tango ..

Spoliers can change in a minute, Aini ...

I too would like to see Khushi go and Arnav come to woo her ..I am told this is what happened in the previous show ..So I am hoping this will be next..
