Yesterday I happened to watch the episode where Arnav says sorry to Khushi. It was so lovely and dramatic, and performed to perfection by Barun and Sanaya. I was craving similar magic of a true connection which given the current state of things I assumed was far far away.
BUT the CV's in a crappy fancy dress competition (I mean I don't think even schools have them these days) gave me exactly what I wanted.
First, Khushi true to her character got nervous ate some of the mithai, calmed herself down and went for it. Stumbled, said she would start over, closed her eyes for strength and VOILA her strength appeared in a sherwani non- the- less.
Loved that Arnav says I don't know any lines, Khushi you have to do everything. Love that Khushi says to him just follow my lead. Khushi knows Arnav has no capacity to improvise, we have seen it on two occasions, when he brings the letter to Payal and he says " Kya Bolu abb"(lol) and the whole "kuch kuch kota kai" part.
Khushi (Sanaya) was brilliant, we know that Khushi is playing the part of Heer, but we know she is talking about love because she has experienced love. When she tells Arnav that his happiest day and Ranja's saddest is coming up, she knows that Arnav feels nothing for her. And BAM!!!
Arnav who doesn't know how to improvise comes up with lines for Ranja, except the lines for Ranja sounds a lot like the situation Arnav is in. Khushi is listening attentively; I believe she thought he would eat the mithai and die but didn't expect a confession of sorts.
BRILLANT!!! Loved how she wanted him to continue because she knows its Arnav not Ranja, the Arnav who gave her his handkerchief when no one else noticed that she was crying when they entered the house for Payals wedding.
Loved that she confronted him, she wants an answer because finally she sees that behind the hate emanating from her husband there is pain, betrayal and more than anything LOVE!!! Yes she wants him to say it, because how many times she thinks he has something to say to her and he crushes her dreams, Diwali, engagement, their wedding, and every day since.
Beautiful set up for an epic blow out!! I always thought it would be Arnav who blurts out that he loves Khushi in an argument, but the CV's really do have a finger on the pulse( or a spy on India forums one of the two)
Honorable mention to Naniji, excellent work, I loved that Anjali and Nani worked together or rather Anjali knew about the plan, at the end of the day she is the only light in Arnav's life and she will show him the way to Khushi who will be his light.
I would like to see Shyam plan out his next move, this man is all about set up his game plan, like he did with his engagement with Khushi but we don't see him doing that now, so CV's please pull up your socks in this department as well.
This I would have liked to see:
Khushi warning Arnav that the mithai has sugar, or that is sugar free, but I guess that it would have ruined a beautiful scene with comedy.
But most of all I would have liked Arnav to say Khushi once instead of Heer. Much like he said Khushi instead of La. And then Khushi would have evidence in her corner rather than just her gut feeling.
But over all loved the episode, again I must say this daily soap is by far my favorite thing on tv. Keep up the good workJ
I must also add, that Barun gets all the praise and rightfully so, he is brilliant, gorgeous and most people on this forum like myself are girls. But without Sanaya's fire as Khushi, this would not have been IPKKND. So Barun must thank Sanaya because he gets to work opposite her who matches his talent and intensity with her spunk and enthusiasm.
Ok I'm done. Until tomorrow!!!
