Tanthya,

What an apt title!! Reality bites and today they got a taste of it and soon its going to strike both of these ignorant people. Loved your explanation about Garima.

So let me repeat my daily mantra, "Fantastic post, Tanthya"

Below is my analysis

Ek aadmi ke do chehre

Before the terrace, Arnav had started becoming Khushi's Rajkumar, she had started dreaming about him but then in a space of few hours she saw her Rajkumar turn to Shaitan. She witnessed her rajkumar, the person who a day before, got her bangles just because she wished for, tear all her dreams to pieces in a space of few minutes. She witnessed her Rajkumar who went berserk a day before with anger because he thought she had hurt herself, throw her out of the room to sleep in the cold. She could not understand his behavior, she did not understand the reason for his erratic behavior but she knew there has to be one because she knew him enough to know he will never do anything without a reason. But then during their marriage he became a man of contradictions. At times, he was a man of love and other times,a man of anger.

During marriage, she heard his veiled declaration of love in the Heer Ranjha act but then she saw him throwing her away and breaking things in irrational anger. She saw his reluctant care for her whenever he thought she was in the danger of getting hurt but she also saw him hurting her without any remorse. She witnessed the amount of patience he showed for all the pranks she played against him but she also witnessed him putting her through one full night of worry for a fake illness. She has witnessed first hand, in spite of his misgivings, the respect he has given her family but she has also seen him threatening to end her sister's marriage. Today, she saw him teaching a stranger the responsibilities of an husband but she has never seen him following those. In her whole marriage she has kept witnessing his love and his anger, one after the other, making her think that he has two faces, he has two different personalities but she cannot be further from the truth. They say time heals all wounds but time has given Khushi numerous hints, numerous connections to understand the enigma that is Arnav Singh Raizada. If she thinks, she will connect everything and she will find the trigger for his anger against her and the trigger is his sister and her husband and she will realize of how wrong she was in understanding the man who is also her husband.

Khushi has time and again witnessed the bond that Arnav shares with his sister, she is aware of the irrational love that he has for his sister. She has also witnessed first hand Arnav's irrational behavior for Anjali when she left her home. If she connects everything, she will understand that there is only one thing that can make Arnav Singh Raizada behave in an erratic manner and that is Anjali and there is only one thing that connects her to Anjali and that is Shyam Manohar Jha. If she thinks back she will realize that Arnav's two major acts of anger had been only after her interaction with Shyam. The day she connects this, the day she connects Anjali and Shyam to herself, she will realize the magnitude of her mistake in hiding the truth about Shyam, from Arnav that day.

That time, she will understand that Arnav does not have two faces, it is only one and it is the the face of the man who has been scorned in love, who is in pain, who is in hurt, and who in spite of everything cannot suppress the love for the girl who has betrayed him. She will know that his anger was also a form of his love and his anger was the result of her betrayal. She will understand his pain and hurt which she has been responsible for. She will realize that he is a big-hearted man who has always suppressed his emotions for others, who has always put his family's happiness before him, who has sacrificed and will always sacrifice his own happiness for his sister and who when times comes will sacrifice it for his love, for her. She will finally understand the vast amount of love she has for her Rajkumar who was never a Shaitan but had become a Shaitan because of her. And Khushi will repent, she will repent for her that one mistake, she will repent for his vast amount of pain and hurt, she will repent for all those emotions that he kept suppressed within himself without letting anyone know about the torture he has been going through because of her and for his sister's happiness and she will repent for all those mistakes she has committed in her ignorance because she was unable to understand her man, her husband and her lover.

Arnav's Guilt

Eavesdroppers never hear good about themselves and today Arnav was proof of that. Twice, he heard things that he would have been better off not hearing but, well, they were important. They were important because they were dreams of a girl who has been seeing them for a long time and they were dreams that he was responsible for shattering. Till date, Arnav had always thought his actions against Khushi were justified as his actions were for his sister. The actions were justified as a brother but the brother has long back become a lover, a husband and the lover,the husband has sinned and has been sinning for a long time against their girl. The husband was responsible for ensuring his wife's happiness but has given her nothing but sadness, the husband was responsible for protecting against pain but has unknowingly been the source of the pain, the husband has been responsible for her smile but has always given her tears. Thus, today, the husband felt guilty because he has slowly and gradually broken each and every one of his wife's dreams.

Today Arnav found out that he and only he, was responsible for Khushi's unspoken pain. Today, he realized that in spite of all her crimes, her sins, his actions were not justified and thus he could not sleep. How can he, he is person who could not see Payal's hurt, Preto's pain and today he found out that unknowingly he has become responsible for all of Khushi's tears,that girl's tears whose happiness is his duty, whose smile is his responsibility.

Arnav's guilt today was vast because today, he realized that he had failed in his duty as a husband. Today he was in a bad state and this was without him knowing the truth. Today,thus, I dread the day when Arnav finds out the truth because, if today, in spite of thinking of Khushi as a sinner, if his guilt was so huge he will definitely break when he realizes that he has committed all those actions against an innocent, that he punished the wrong person, that he has indeed committed huge sins because he put his wife, his lover, his Khushi through hell when he was the one who should have shown her the heaven. If today was a taste of hell, that day will be pure burning hell for him.

But, however dark the darkness the sun always rises, night always gives rise to the day and thus,there will be one day when we will see Arnav Singh Raizada rise again and then he will fulfill each and every dream of hers, he will show her the heaven and become her "Rajkumar" as well as "Duniya ke sabse aache pati"

PS:

CV's, terrace is not the only flashback of Khushi and Shyam together that Arnav has witnessed. Please use the other ones too...

Ek tha rajkumar,ek thi lakdi ... Dono mile...pyaar hua...shaadi hui ..aur khatam kahani..."is this the love story of Arnav and Khushi...is the path of love so simple for them? Absolutely not... Fate has a strong role to play in their love...god DM is putting their relationship on "TRIAL BY FIRE" ...will DM allow them to fail...absolutely not...hOw does fate and DM help them strengthen this gifted relationship...they teach them about this bond by making them view their relationship through the marriages of others...

The episode was defined by four moments today
1.Anjali's chote=saving preetika's marriage
2.khushi's shaitan v/s rajkumar monologue=pyar v/s darr=probing of the reason for marriage
3.garima's understanding of Arnav= Bahut saaf DIL hai aur dono ek doosre pe paarva= ideal
4.khushi's Arnav= idea of a good husband=right now in shambles

Anjali's chotte having witnessed the break down
Of his sister's wedding and having been the unknown reason for payal 's first wedding breakdown and having lived in the middle class setup for some days takes it upon himself to save preetika's wedding...both Khushi and Arnav try different tacks to solve the issue..." tum humesha har kaam akele nahin kar sakthe"is the common refrain of Arnav to Khushi.without mentioning this to her he did the righteous task of setting the groom's priority in order.Chote in the garb of ASR was successful.MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Khushi listening to Ankur's thank u

speech to arnav and listening to Arnav's definition of a good husband wonders about the Dr Jeklly
and
MR Hyde faces of Arnav..a simple girl
That she is she does not understand the duality of
this
nature...trying to probe deeper she accepts that she loves him (for the first time she fixes the
word
love for her feeling though it has not registered that she uttered those words) yet is frightened of his dual nature...she wonders as to why the values he preached
to his employee does not apply to his life...the questions on her marriage surfaces again... why ,what
where how's and when's of her marriage start to surround her once more ,making her determined to
find the answer.INCOMPLETE QUEST..,

Garima's damadji - buaji and garima are one of the few who understand that arnav and Khushi love and care about each other...garima understands that though Arnav is a man of few words., he is clean hearted ,cares for his family and puts them above himself...but is she satisfied about khushi's happiness in her married life...she wants to confirm it...she questions Khushi on this who lies to her convincingly.garima wants an affirmation about Arnav's goodness as a husband...Khushi being who she is gives her mother the happiness that indeed she is happy.garima 's question is not only about khushi's happiness but also whether she has discharged her duties rightly as a mother..Khushi would never allow anybody to point fingers on garima...not even her dead mother .she tells garima that she is her " Amma..so nobody can question her...so garima happy about both...MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Khushi's dreams of a perfect husband ..her Arnav(not ASR) dashed by the man who Is her prince...her prince listens to her every dream which lay in tatters...Khushi'sheart breaks relating this false as reality to her mother but she is unaware that her prince is listening to it and his heart too is breaking in to pieces.she tells her mother that Arnav put her needs ahead of his,he stands by her endeavors, he wipes her tears when in pain,he tries to make her smile when she is home sick ,he cannot stand even a small scratch on her ...he listens to all this inagony but what really doubles for him is the statement that Arnav is the best husband in the whole wide world makes the torture unbearable.he feels guilty about trampling her ever after dreams..he is sad for her lost dreams..sad about how convoluted their lives have become. He is not able to sleep and is frightened about Khushi leaving him .khushi's words reverberates in his mind...The soul searching has started for both ...but this still an INCOMPLETE QUEST

So why are Arnav and Khushi put through all this..this is just DM's way of strengthing their relationship...as I said it is their trail by fire...
Loved SI ,BS and garima acting...emotions were well potrayed that I was in tears by the time I finished the episode...my heart was aching for Arnav and Khushi

Pointers-
Garima's blessing and buaji " nazar utharna" just suggests that Arnav and Khushi are at the point of revealation ..reasons for the MU.
Arnav listening to khushi's ideal husband's traits are boding well for the future as Arnav will follow this to T in the future
The precap where Arnav hold khushi's hand tightly tells us that he will not want her to leave him after the MU clearance.their entwined on the Arnav Rekha suggests hat Arnav has started the process of crossing the Rekha..first Khushi crossed it and next it will be Arnav's turn

An emotion packed episode - Yes, blessed are people who convey their emotion with ease but there are people who torment themselves, as they are unable to emote. The very thought to deviate from Arnav Singh Raizada is close to impossible, as such his emotions are inexplicable but leaves an indelible mark to us.

The benevolent dictator of AR Designs :

It was only months before that Khushi's resigned from AR designs ' the reasons were not for the odd working hours or the tasks entrusted to her that were not part of her job profile. The simple fact was the employer failed to discharge his duties with integrity. Integrity in the organization culture comes with honesty, ethics, security, moral values etc. Arnav by sending Khushi to the dilapidated Guest House - risked her life. So he breached the most significant clause security of his staff. Khushi lambasted her employer's integrity as he failed to secure her life and therefore, the contract she signed with him becomes void. The benevolent dictator receded as his employee uttered the words that went against his code of conduct ' He lacked Integrity. His mistake was apparent but Khushi never gave him the opportunity to explain after innumerable attempts by him.

Today, at GH residence when it came under his preview that the bride groom is working for his organization, he instantly called off his services. Arnav Singh Raizada is an individual who keeps both his personnel and professional life at distinct quarters. Why did he do that? Profession wise the Bride Groom's performance appraisal speaks that he is on the threshold of promotion.

The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home - Confucius

How true? Your integrity is polished from home walls and cascades to the nation (here ASR's nation is AR designs). The groom witnessing the harassment of his relatives to his bride's family but prefers to be taciturn was not digested by ASR. When he cannot respect his wife and her family, what integrity he carries towards AR Designs. The groom was intimated of the ultimatum decision but the groom wanted to knew the reason for his removal. Here the benevolent dictator explain the nuances of the relationship and the missing character trait of his employee. The groom did not waste his time in implemented his remedial plan by pacifying his family and the rituals of the marriage ensued.

What caught my attention was the smart groom ' he knew that ASR never attends the wedding of his employees. He made him attend and dance at the wedding stating that I am not your employee any more and once when the wedding was over he requested that his job be reinstated to give happiness to his wife. The boy played his "Ruy Lopez" move of Chess. Here the benevolent dictator agreed to the request without any hitch.

The benevolent Dictator Vs Imperious husband

When he accepted the request for dance, he entered the floor as an employer but as he set his eyes on his wife, he lost no moment in joining her. When the trumpet is blowing in the backdrop, they both played the symphony to realise that infamous terrace scene. The imperious husband left her gazelle in the wanderers.

Amidst, the commotion, Khushi, transfixed to witness her husband surreptitiously but instrumental in making the bridegroom take the wedding vows. An individual dissuading the institution of marriage but married her contractually is speaking about the profoundness of wedlock and respect for life partner. Their relationship always witnessed the whirlpool of his benevolence and imperious nature. The sanctity of the marriage made her compromise all her insecurities, family, love just reasoning her for way forward to the Conundrum

Did ASR believe in the institution of a wedding ?

of course he did, the lighting and thunder that stuck his skies always comes in the form of wedding. His married khushi just to keep his sister's wedding intact. He believed that when two individuals if unsure about their emotions they should never enter into wedlock. If they do ' they have to abide by that. That was the very reason he was questioning Aakash about his feeling and emotion for Payal is genuine and the same applies to his employee. He broke the engagement with Lavanya, as his feelings were unauthentic. He married khushi was a period of six month to safe guard his sister's marriage and give Khushi her freedom. This man speaks business with inexplicable emotions.

The Candor son-in-law Vs Imperious Husband :

Every generation witnessed the mother subtle questioning the daughter of her marital relationship. It is perfunctory , but here the situation is unique. It is between an adopted mother and orphaned daughter who made their twain plausible. Garima's did not ask her daughter the reason for her eloped marriage, she wanted to knew whether her daughter is happy. Her vision is conspicuous that both love each other but reflect according to their character traits. The mother here raised to the podium applauding the candor of her son-in-law and the daughter unable to give in her truth praised her imperious husband.

Innocence in genius, and candor in power, are both noble qualities - Madame de Stael

The unobtrusive presence of this man at the scene who understands the attributes of a husband and ready to discharge the duties. However, not obligated to perform his task as a husband for a deceitful lady. For him marital relationship comes with dignity and decorum that according to him was violated by Khushi. That is the reason he categorically told her "I will never accept you as my wife nor will I give you the status and dignity of my wife".

There stands the man true to his character ' quarantine his inexplicable emotion towards the women he loved but pursuing his task with candour that integrity is profound.

Tanths 🤗loved the title "Reality Bites" 👏 Oh that's wat today's episode was all about!!!⭐️

@Anna,Lucky,Doods,Tanths,Pam🤗🤗 loved ur analysis...u guys are bang on as always👏⭐️



I just loved today's episode..for me it was BRILLIANT👏 so the magic that has been missing in recent weeks is slowly and steadily coming back again⭐️ finally I could see the continuation in today's episode that we all have been cribbing for😳 😆
The pain, love, sweetness, hurt, confusion, guilt is back...I would say about time


If y'day it was Arnav's day then today was Khushi's day of Realization...it was Khushi's day of soul-searching..today Khushi witnessed Arnav helping bride's family with the wedding in his own ASRish way😳 that gets her to think of her RaajKumar who is also the Shaitaan...irony is for her both are the same person!!!😉


The same person who forcefully married her, made her life living hell, who hurt her every now and then😛 the same way he helped her when she was in need.when she needed comfort..the person whom she fears...WHOM SHE LOOOV😲😲😲 WHOA hold on...did I hear that correctly???😉 Khushi dear, did u just say LOVE???😳 😍


For the first time even if subconsciously or maybe consciously she realized that what she feels for Arnav/Laad Governor/ASR is LOVE😳😃
Yes Khushi, wat u feel for ur Rakhshas Laad Governor is not just Acidity and Dhak Dhak but LOVE😍😃 Haan despite all the heartache he caused you ur heart still beats for him, craves him!!!!😳


Frankly I was so waiting for Khushi's monologue😉 just to get glimpse of what is going on in her heart coz lately me totally at loss where Khushi is concerned😆


Then came the mother-daughter sweet heartfelt moment...loved that scene to the core👏😃
It was such a vital scene...I have always wanted to see that between Khushi and Garima😳


Khushi painted the happy picture of her innocent dreams...dreams that were crushed, broken to pieces by none other than her own prince-charming😔 loved how she hid her pain and tears from her Amma...she was breaking inside but still had a smile on her face coz she didn't want her mother to worry...like always she thought of others' happiness at the stake of her own...this is KHUSHI for us❤️ today also she stood true to her name👏
Best part was Arnav witnessed the entire conversation⭐️


Arnav listened to every thing, the hurt, the pain that was hidden, her shattered dreams...every thing...Khushi could very well have revealed the truth to her mother but she safeguarded him...why Arnav? why do u think this girl who is after ur Di's happiness, safeguarded u again and again when she could have blamed u in front of her and ur entire family???
Arnav u are still unaware of the gem that u have as ur WIFE...hope you realize that soon!!!!😃


Today Arnav saw another facet of Khushi...the girl whom he fell in love with!😛 he saw how she sacrifices her own happiness to make others around her smile...who can go to any extent to bring happiness in others' life even if that means she has to suffer in silence..so be it!!!⭐️


M sure after witnessing that Arnav's dilemma will increase...the fight between his "DIL AND DIMAAG" will intensity and he will be more confused then ever on one side all the evidences/so called proofs are hinting towards Khushi being guilty whereas his GUT-feeling and heart is saying something else entirely!!!!😉


Arnav's recent hot and cold behavior left Khushi more confused...she has already started questioning his actions⭐️ even if to herself😉 soon she will start questioning Arnav directly😃
M just waiting for that to happen!!!!😳


So overall our show is back on track again👏⭐️ Lets see where we go from here!!!😃

This is how I want to hug you and your entire Reduxian team Sathya ... for giving so much meaning to this romantic serial...
