DANG IT... YOU ARE RIGHT!!! Come to think of it... I haven't seen the real ASR in quite some time. I can safely say he is dead and gone. For me this basic equation proves it.

ASR = NO EMOTIONS
The number of swinging emotions Arnav is feeling nowadays leaves no chance for ASR to survive in him.

Wow! Thanks for this post! Definitely an interesting way to look at it! Thanks for changing my opinion, I always did believe the writers of IPK are exceptional. It can't go downhill all of sudden...we must be missing some points! There you go, got my answer now! ;)
Wonderful analysis!!

I agree, the old ARS would never have tolerated all the things Khushi is doing to him.

Khushi's behaviour is definitely ridiculous at the minute. I'm just so disaffected by it now. If I was writing, the only reason I would write her like this is as her putting up a brave face to hide how depressed she really is and as she becomes more and more frustrated, so her behaviour becomes exponentially more insane... But I'm not writing this so that was just completely irrelevant.

I think the point they're trying to get across is that Khushi's like a child- innocent and naive in her thinking and behaviour as a contrast to the calculated, calm, mature Arnav. And they're going by quality of innocent and naive acts as opposed to quality- which is why we've been getting so many hits and misses. They're probably trying to build up a backlog of flashbacks for Arnav in the future 😆 To make 1 3-5 minute VM I usually need to go through nearly 8 or 9 hours of footage- and I only have ArShi clips downloaded- not full episodes. :')

I didn't realise until I read it on the forum that her motivation was to get kicked out and your points are true- W*F is she thinking? I'm not justifying her behaviour- today crossed all limits- but I think I can kind of see what the CVs are trying to do and I just hope they DO IT ALREADY and bring her back on track before she does something completely unforgivable (though making a mockery of the information Anjali gave her about Arnav already toes that line for me personally)...


I've been bending over backwards giving the CVs the benefit of the doubt; but today I'm not willing to grant them a reprieve for the episode. I believe the CVs have had their own introspection and it went something like this.
"So, we need to give Arnav-Khushi as much screen space as possible because that's what always works to get us out of a TRP hole. Ok, but what should we have them do? How about fight? There's an idea, but if they exchange actual words one of them is bound to blurt out the truth. Oh no, we're so not ready for that. What else? Romance? Nope, we tried that during holi and repeating that during this track won't make sense even for us. We're already trying to pretend that holi didn't happen by not referring to it in any flashbacks and avoiding inconvenient questions as to who remembers what. What's left? Oh yes, comedy. Let's go with that. Wait...what was that thud? Oh, only the sanity of the viewers going for a toss"

You got good points there, specially the one about her fake love coming back around to bite her.

But what was better about your post was the Lyrics from Billie Jean "Be careful who you love, and be careful what you do because a lie becomes the truth." (Random but I'm a huge MJ fan. I couldn't help myself from writing a comment).😍

But I like your take on today's show! 👏

:D

It makes me chuckle when a dedicated viewer snaps. CAREFUL THOUGH GIRL, YOU'LL BE BRANDED A BASHER IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL. ;)

Yeah I can't help but feel like they're waiting for something- whether this is the Maha Episode, the 1 Year Anniversary, IPL to end or the TRPs to hit the negatives, I'm not sure... but anything other than the M.E. is too damn long! Arnav saw that ridiculous hug in the first week of February. We're now nearly half way through April.

I appreciate the subtle character changes, I really do. The growth and development of the leads in these gradual ways are beautiful. But it's like, to do one thing well- they let other things slip through the cracks or they use unnecessary catalysts or triggers, like making Khushi a caricature of herself. This said, I would forgive them in a snap if her OTT behaviour was building up to a snapping point where she actually SNAPPED and said something meaningful. That's actually what I thought they were hinting at when she said something ages ago like "I'm not actually as crazy as I act, I have my reasons."

As for the Holi confessions- I just look upon that week, including Arnav clearly remembering- as one of Khushi's dreams about her Raj Kumar and she's woken up and crash landed back into reality and that's why neither of them remembers. 😆

I love Iss Pyaar and how clever and subtle it is, but I swear down- I WANT OBVIOUS SOMETIMES. I don't want to ALWAYS have to ANALYSE the beauty out from a scene. I want to sometimes be able to just watch it and say "Wow, that's incredible and powerful and above all, BEAUTIFUL."

EHMMBH progressed more in today's one episode that IPKKND has in the past three months and although the characters aren't as 3D or deep or layered as our beloved ArShi... at least they haven't been beating round a burning bush- heck, I'd even go so far as to say a BURNING FOREST in ArShi's case- for months on end.

Aptly put and very well dissected, sliced and analyzed.

It will be interesting to see in the forthcoming episodes when ASR dishes out the same treatment to Khushi.

Wonderful perception, the saving grace was the backfiring tikka moment..

If Arnav gets back at her by giving as good as he's getting right now, I will die.
I will not even care that it would be the most out of character thing in the Iss Pyaar Universe...
I will just be so, so happy that I will spontaneously combust and die.😆
