Wow! I did not know that so many of us agreed on the same thought! I am so glad to have met you vimmiya! 😉

My point exactly - that time it should have been told - if Arnav had NOT believed her then - then it would have been his fault completely but since she did not tell him - she bears the mistake of it equally! And moreover she did get this to herself. Saving one life at that moment - has caught her to jeopardise her, payal, anjali, the baby when she / he comes and arnav's life - all in danger. That is why I say she started it - she has to pay back to end it.

Good point - she did not even feel the need to put it in the will about Shyam!?? I mean "WHAT THE" 😲 😲 What I feel lack in her characterization is that she does not anytime feel the guilt of what she has hidden from the Raizada's. She sees how Anjali dotes on her and she also knows shyam is still after her - but where is the guilt!??

The writers need to realize that Khushi is 23 not 6 or 7. And why concentrate on only Arnav? - Khushi's characters needs to be thought of more since this was supposed to be HER track!

ONE STEP CLOSER TO THE EDGE (PART I)

Today's post may not be written very coherently, and that's because there are so many thoughts in my head, that I'm not sure which to pen down and which to leave out. Yesterday's episode may have seemed OTT to many, but there was a lot of unsaid themes that brought a scary picture to me.

Repression --> Delusional ---> Neurotic: This is what has become of Khushi. A girl who lived and laughed for others all this while, has now planned to give up her life as it is the only sensible way out for her right now. Over the months, she has tried to repress her feelings of hurt, pain, betrayal and mockery - you always wondered why she never showed any feelings, right? Well, this is the reason. How can you express your feelings after they have been thwarted and after you've bound them to an iron block and sunk them in a deep ocean? Those innocent feelings in Khushi's heart faced a premature death, and they were replaced by lack of trust, denial, lack of belief and general loss of rationalization.

Khushi has always been a simple girl, straightforward with her ideas, morals and values. She is the girl who has never failed to bring a smile to other's faces no matter how broken she was inside (remember her nautanki at Holi to manofy Naniji?). We always wondered, how a person could go through such serious circumstances in the most comic way possible. From Khushi's perspective, she could do two things - wallow in despair or live life like before. So, being the drama queen that she is, Khushi chose the latter and went about with her bollywood antics.

The above was her Ego defence mechanism at work. Khushi being a gentle soul and having a sensitive heart, wouldn't really have been able to bear the brunt of accepting the pain. So her mind decides to push all those unwanted harsh memories somewhere safe, out of harm's way.

But alas, repressing memories and emotions is not exactly healthy. It builds up the burden as time goes by. Add a constant stressor (Arnav) into the picture and you can see why Khushi went so rapidly downhill and right into major anxiety.

According to psychological findings, anxiety disorder can lead to suicidal tendencies. All it needs is a recurrent and intense stressor (a major life event). This stressor can cause the victim to undergo a range of disturbing emotions: sadness, nervousness, insomnia, worry, desperation and suicidal thoughts, among others.

To further add to Khushi's highly disturbed state of mind was the idea that Arnav was planning to kill her in order to marry Lavanya. This is where her 'Delusions' began.

To quote: "Delusional disorder refers to a condition associated with one or more non-bizarre delusions of thinking-such as expressing beliefs that occur in real life such as being poisoned, being stalked, being loved or deceived, or having an illness, provided no other symptoms of schizophrenia are exhibited."

Remember, her mind is at it's weakest point right now, it is already filled with confusing, irrational thoughts. Arnav's behaviour has been extremely inconsistent with her all this time. She has no base on which to believe or trust him. Her coping abilites are no longer strong enough to deal with this additional trauma, and the main point - she is unable to confide all these pent up anguish to anyone! Human nature, or the human soul is unable to continue for long when secrets and deep seated conflicts are harbored in the heart. It eats away at the soul and mind.

You remember in yesterday's post I talked about the cracks and fissures developing in Khushi? Well, you can see that materializing now - the fact that Khushi has planned to give in to Laad Governor's idea of killing her by committing suicide, you can see that her mind, heart and soul cannot take it anymore.

This is her Neurosis. Repression of pain led to the birth of Delusions which further lead to the point of Neurotic tendency - neurosis is a display of Khushi's invisible injuries.

Seeing Arnav with various 'murderous tools' in his hands all morning, she is convinced that he IS truly after her life. Her delusions cause her to take death into her own hands, and to die by her own hands rather than by anyone else's.

What does this tell you? Hmmm..? It tells that Khushi isn't that far gone... yet. She still maintains enough love for herself and others that she takes the time to make a will, leave her precious items for the others, and is willing to confront death on her own terms.

=================================================================

Now I want to move on to the other thoughts that struck me: The Terrace and The Impact of Suicide on Arnav.

THE TERRACE

The Terrace was where the blooming love story between Arnav and Khushi was cut short by a nasty thorn called Shyam. Arnav was just getting out of ASR's skin, and Khushi was realizing that she felt something for this man. A sweet confession between two people in love was however not destined for that day.

The Terrace was where Arnav had his infant love broken - a love he had been careful to let out. A love that he carried only for his sister till then. For the first time, that love was daring to come out of it's shell, but to what consequence? It reaffirmed ASR's belief that to love is to be weak. Power and money alone is what the world understands. There is no place for love.

The Terrace was the undoing of Khushi's steps toward love. In one moment her innocent, picture-perfect world collapsed in shambles as she saw the greed of a monster who wanted more than his share in life. This was soon followed by a further death of her values and morals when in order to save her sister's marriage she chose to marry the man she thought was her Rajkumar, but who know had taken the disguise of a Shaitan.

Once again now, the Terrace is going to be the scene of a Confrontation. The last time, it left two lovers disillusioned with the world. Will it close the gaps by widening the gaps between these two? There are gaps in understanding between them right now - a confession of the truth, a vocalization of the reasons may help close the gaps currently existing in the understanding, but it may also lead to the distancing between them too.

Remember the 'friction' and the widening of the cracks I said yesterday? Yeah.. that'll probably be it.

THE IMPACT OF SUICIDE/DEATH ON ARNAV

If there's one thing that touches the raw nerve of Arnav like no other, it is - DEATH of a person he loves. He has seen the death of his mother as a child. He has been left scarred with that incident. He hasn't allowed anything to cover that hole, that wound in his heart. He is still traumatized by it and he is still unable to cope with the idea of Death.

He is on extreme tenterhooks when Anjali talks about Death. Remember the scene where she mentions to Khushi, that may her years be given to Khushi... and Arnav immediately forbids her from talking like that. he is highly disturbed on hearing anything to do with his loved ones dying.

So, will it be any different with Khushi's suicide attempt? I don't think so! He had already lost his nerve and heart when he though Khushi had faced an accident. He was so frightened at the time that he didn't realize how roughly he was shaking her while demanding to know why she had to leave like that, and what he would have done without her.

He has already softened his stance with her after hearing Garima's wishes that they live happily together. He can't see her face death, he can't see her die, and that is why he will go up there, in a highly disturbed state he will let his emotions take control over his mind. His heart will make him speak with Khushi's extreme action.

======================================================================

I admit that they could have handled the current suicide track in a better way. When I thought about it, i felt that if they had given a serious tone to it, it would have damged Khushi's character even more, but since it's been put in a slightly comic way - people can still put this down to Khushi's draamebaazi and child-like silliness. Anyway, Khushi would not have committed suicide even if Arnav had not gone there. I BELIEVE IN MY KHUSHI, she wouldn't have done it!

Wanted to write about the significance of her Will.. I'll carry it out in PART TWO tomorrow... 😊
