Awesome song sathu..

Hey guys,

I tried, oh how I tried, but for some reason, I just couldn't get myself to like it. What made it worse was all the hype and positivism surrounding the episode; my hopes were set ever so high only to have them dashed. I guess it's down to personal taste and opinion. But if the sole purpose of this episode was to get rid of the MU or to bring it out into the open, then yes, great, the episode had done its job. However, the execution of the entire suicide sequence left much to be desired. It took months to reach this point, and ultimately, I was left severely disappointed. Not only was the whole debacle anti-climatic, but it also failed to make any emotional impact. And for this I blame the direction. The scene when Arnav jumped to save Khushi was absolutely cringe worthy, as was Khushi's attempt to jump off the building - not to mention the whole issue regarding suicide was dealt with most insensitively, and was completely out of character.

And why was Khushi so adamant to believe that Arnav married her because he loved Lavanya? When did she reach that conclusion? Perhaps it was to do with the phone conversation, or the fact that Arnav hasn't given her reason to believe otherwise, but even this excuse/misunderstanding fell flat, simply because they didn't develop it! And it was rushed. As was the whole confrontation in my opinion!

Again, it boils down to the treatment of script does it not? Sure the dialogue was pretty tight this episode, but unfortunately, even that couldn't save it for me, as it all seemed very out of place. And for that very reason, I failed to empathise with any of the characters – both Arnav and Khushi, which is rare!

Don't get me wrong, there were some significant moments…but that's it. They didn't in any way, shape or form, heighten the impact of what should and more importantly could have been an emotionally intense episode. Ultimately, what they failed to do was develop the intensity of this track, had they done so, it would have come across a lot more smooth and progressive.

Sigh, maybe I'm being a bit too harsh, but please don't misconstrue any of my views, especially those of you who enjoyed the episode! Take it as someone who dearly loves the show, but was forced to air some of the frustrations that came as a result of this episode.

But guys, if anything will save it, then that will be all the lengthy analysis that I take great delight in reading and which will serve as a real treat after getting my spirits dampened.

Kudos x

P.s. I was slightly weary about posting my views here, but oh well, I just couldn't ignore how I felt.

My brain is stuck at the point when Khushi was telling Arnav, how he loves La, and only for them, she is sacrificing herself!!

The pain in ASR's eyes was so much visible...that Khushi never understood his love for Her!

phew im happy that this maha MU is finally addressed 🥳

But execution sucked, editing sucked, acting could hv been better from bth .. But i belive this was all rushed up and actor's werent given enough time to even give retakes.. It was all done in a hurry..

I wanted to see more of heart break, shock , pain in Kushi specially after Arnav said that he knows about her affair with Shyam, her expressions were like i knew this was coming .. The heart break filled with shocked expression missed..

The funny music while Arnav was running was so nt needed, what was so funny in it , his expressions also could hv been better in few places..

After falling upon one another the next shot of bth facing their backs, so rushed 😆

yes Riya even a serious issue like Suicide is taken a diversion of comedy Suicide attempt..

i don't know what would her reaction after Knowing the truth ..

for one thing i am happy that ASR let it out the whole Full Truth..i was so afraid he will leave saying only half like i know about You and shaym,,,😆 ..

i was so happy when he said Tummare and shyam ka afire chal raha hay i know 😆

Exactly Lucky...Arnav letting out the whole truth was the best part👏
now Khushi knows the truth behind the forced marriage including the fact that Arnav thinks she is having an affair with Snake...m sure after hearing that she wont keep quite and will spill the entire truth...but whether Arnav will believe her or not is an entirely different matter altogether😉 m sure that's part of Arnav's miles long redemption track!!!😆

Bold Lol Divs 🤣 🤣...pura pura essence of the scene gone in to vein ..we are waiting for Months to see her reactions.. and her reactions were oh come on baby i know it before but audience has to know that you spell it out the truth before me..my reactions will come Tomorrow ..

i have to save so much for Tomorrow 😆

M stuck in your noon wala flow chart looks like thats coming true🤣

I thought I was the only one who thought the scene wasn't that impactful. Barun definately could have done better. Something seemed to be off. Maybe once I read everyone's analysis I will look at the episode differently.

Bth were so near to confessing na today 😍 He just wanted to clarify that he never loved LA, and she ended with i knw u love LA but i.. 😍
