After yesterday's "Khushi, mujhe explain karna zaroori nahin smajha?" to today's total disbelief at the truth from her (after you badgered her for it) - your reactions today just didn't fit! All this time, you wanted to confirm that she was in the clear, that you had mistaken her character, that she did not love you BIL, that your mind was wrong in judging her. When she finally told you the truth, when she finally cleared those cobwebs, when she mentioned about Shyam living as a PG (paying guest), and her hasty engagement with him, and her breaking off the engagement with Shyam once she knew that he was married to Anjali - what was that look on your face?

Skepticism? No... Mistrust? Naah... Hatred? Uh-huh... Annoyance? Pass... Disbelief? Nope... Realization that she's telling the truth?
BINGO!

Every word she spoke about Shyam, every little fact that fit so well, every essence of truth in her voice and eyes, every yearning for you to believe her - all of them connected somewhere within you, probably on a sub-conscious level.


Why on a sub-conscious level Arnav? Your inner childhood demons still have a strong hold on you, don't they? How does a person like you, who has faced emotional pain early in life, with no time to reconcile with them, learn to come out of the dark abyss? Where was the time for you to nurse your emotional scars? There was no time, was there? Whatever time you did have centered around supporting your Di, and getting back on your feet after being chucked out by your uncle from your own home.

How could you be so selfish as to take care of your own emotional wounds when your Di was clearly broken and fragile? You couldn't and you didn't. You resorted to the one way you felt was right at the time. You were always an angry little boy, and that anger now expanded to the world in general - that anger, the coldness, the ruthlessness, shrewdness, detachment and an iron spine made up the stern facade of ASR - who spread fear and awe in everyone who approached him.

Trust, belief, faith... those words no longer held any meaning, worth or value for you anymore. Your father caused you to cast his name far aside - you didn't want to identify yourself with him. Your mother died before your eyes. Your family portrait was ruined, damaged and broken - as were your trust, belief and faith in people, in love, and in emotions.



The lover in you believes Khushi, trusts Khushi, has faith in Khushi... but after the terrace scene, kid Arnav needs to be drawn out, just like Khushi drew him out first.

But the lover that you are is right now in the clutches of your sub-conscious. It is ASR who rules your mind, just like before. But why do I feel, that even though ASR is present in shades, Arnav too is being let out? Wait, let me rephrase that... when Khushi said "Aapne wahi dekha jo aap dekhna chahthe the, aapne wahi samjha jo aap samjhna chahthe the.." why did you turn around so suddenly like that while walking in a rage toward the car?

She hit the truth that you yourself acknowledged (sub-consciously), didn't she?
You knew that you had seen and heard everything according to your way. She hit the right spot when she asked you why you never questioned her about Shyam before you hurried her into marriage. You knew it then too Arnav! You knew that Shyam had poured poison into your ears - you got to know his true character today from Khushi (not Shyam's whole character yet, the rest will come from Bauji and Buaji).

I still don't completely buy ASR's mode of throwing Khushi's truth aside
(I'm half and half over my above explanation and the following para). You are a very shrewd person Arnav. You play it close to your chest. You are practical, sharp and cautious. Which is what makes me wonder if all this 'discarding Khushi's truth' is a move from your side?

Throwing Khushi off the track so that you can see how things unfold at RM?
If you had accepted her truth, the equation between the two of you would have changed, Shyam would certainly have noticed it, and then you wouldn't have much control over Shyam. But this way, by keeping Khushi in the dark (or in the shadows, whichever you prefer), Shyam will be pushed to reveal his true character in some silly way, thereby giving you an upper hand over him, plus you get to keep a check over him.(@Readers: mind you, this is just a rough thought circling my mind).

Whatever it is Arnav, thank you for being such a mind-boggling character. One never knows for sure what's going on in your mind. That is what makes you so interesting!




Love it! You've hit the nail right on the head! But damn do I love this side of him; it gives us a lot more pleasure in unravelling his character!

Truth truth truth-it is all about truth...different versions of truth...are they different versions of a fact? .are there different versions of it????.. My version,your version, their version...not at all.. Confused... No need to be... What we see is the truth wrapped up in different packages.. Appearing to all in a different light... revealing to them what they decipher from the outward package..butthe core remains... Like people say " woh atal hain, woh satya hai"...

hope things sort out by another 10 episode days...finding Arnav will be next 10 days..fantastic...

Tantya mouse trap ..wah! nice name...if Khushi's brain has gone for a toss with all things coming out...why didnt Arnav tell that he checked with Shyaam and he told the truth between them...it could have been such a nice change...instead he just reveals what ever so it is to take the MU to next level. Till today ignorance was bliss for Arnav, now he knows but he does not want to believe her!!!! He does now want to think what if she is right???
From day 1, Lioness has worked somehow to solve her problems..she will have nothing less than to clear her character to Arnav...her love. She will bring ppl of RM & GH upside down to get it to Arnav but offcourse she does not want anyone knowing about marriage. She does not want anyone to blame Arnav. WOW! what a sacrifice!!!! Lioness reaches Snake, which is waiting in shade to strike. Now i am confused if she is really a Lionness or Lamb. Time will prove that - lets see what they do in ME, if ME is still going to be this weekend.

IN THE COUNTRY OF THE BLIND - THE ONE EYED MAN IS THE KING" - H.G. WELLS

While I was viewing the episode this was the caption that came to my thought premises. Wondering am I right but finally I decided that Yes, it is right.

While the normal five senses given by the creator form a faculty and helps in the functioning of human life. Some are devoid of one of these senses - we consider it as just an inconvenience but not as a handicap. That is the reason we call it as people with "special needs"

Nevertheless, there is a "Sixth Sense" where we do not see it because it is "Intuition". The singular eye is considered as the sixth sense. It cannot be learnt but needs to be prevalent.

Here Arnav Singh Raizada after listening to Khushi did not make a choice he made a decision. Decision is "Not to trust her words"

Arnav Singh Raizada - Sixth sense:

As young man who got himself placed in one of the citadels of Knowledge "Harvard University" and successfully running an empire at the early stage of his life cycle. It is an achievement - in simpler terms the man is a "Prodigy"

For a person to have that breakthrough cannot be relying just on bookish knowledge and experience he needs to have a stronger intuition to take the challenging decisions. That is where his sixth sense rules. That is what made him "Arnav Singh Raizada"

Today on the streets confronting with the women he loved did he use his intuition that he relies on. When slowly the truth was unraveling in front of him and the explanation given by her - Shyam entering home as a PG, to the engagement and breakup of engagement for Anjali's sake he believed her. His intuition look the story is complete positive framework.

The same man who uttered that "I am awaiting for the six months so that I can throw you out of my life" how can he hold her face and ask him why she did not confide to him. Her explanations were understood by him concisely. What did he do? He did not trust her.

Here he did not utilise his "sixth sense" he used the combo of Physiological senses Sight (ophthalmoception) and hearing (audioception).

Why he utilized the basic sense alone:

It is norm that people react according to the situations, if our happy you basically smile or laugh, if you are in pain - you cry, if you are angry - you shout or ridicule the person.

Khushi during her adverse moments her reflex action showcased something antithetical.

- When Khushi was dropped from the first floor, usually people run from the place to safeguard their interests. She returned to challenge the person that he cannot remove her without a proper justification.

- After the Diwali night debacle, instead of crying and leaving RM, she was distributing sweets. When ASR came to drop her, she did not challenge his actions, instead she herald the lovely wedding moments of ASR.

- After the break-up of engagement it is normal for a person to have a period of mourning, they administer reclusive to allow time to be a healer. Whereas KKG, along with Nanda Kishore gate crashed her party and did the "Desi Girls" item. He questioned her that time itself "not even a week has elapsed since your engagement breakup".

- Even in GH, during Rithikha wedding - she was eloquently elaborating her bridal trousseau with ease.

That is the very reason he said, how much time it took for you to cook up this story.

Another word he gave her was "It is not easy to leave a person like Arnav Singh Raizada, a it provides name, fame and money, only a mentally retarted can think about it"

So again, he touched the raw nerve, mocking her with the class difference, making her feel vulnerable to her class. When he touches the subject - it speaks about her structure. She is not a much-educated girl, she is an orphan at the mercies of the foster parents and she comes from a struggling middle class. Therefore, anything that provides the security is her comfort zone. This zone is given to her by ASR and how can anyone lose the "golden duck".

Today he left no layers in Khushi's skin to peal.

Khushi Kumari Gupta : "My smile may look the same but the pain it hides is different"

Well, Khushi, you are not born as Florence Nightingale to heal everyone's problems. When thinking logically is not your forte and you are in a mess, instead of accumulating the mess, try not to act as a benefactor to the society. I believe one substantial question you asked was "

Tumhe Shaadi Karne Ki Itni Jaldhi Thi".

This was a sound and clear message from the lady to her Laad Governor – instead of getting things clarified why did you marry me in a hurry. Well, Mrs Arnav Raizada – the man whom you married played the role of lover boy first then the role of the brother. He knew the impact of losing you once, after the Diwali night he encountered a staggering truth that he has grown a very strong emotion towards you. By the time, he slowly wants to clear the hurdle you were engaged. He tried his best make you understand the feelings by luck or destiny your engagement broke. The time was apt for the amateur love to blossom, your friend Mr. Nanda Kishore entered the scene and though he did not feel the threat, still he was intimidated. By fate your ex-finance truth came into light, therefore, he took this abrupt steps and inherited the role of your custodian.

Chap gaya hai mere Dimag main woh pal

Lady, here is a man who is extremely obsessed, possessive and protective about you. The terrace scene got crystallized in his mind and heart, therefore, much water is needed to extinguish the inferno that is burning him. So it is a long way for you to heal him. Always I write lines that captured me - today I will say the line that Pained me.

"main achi tarah samaj saktha hoon kitne Muskhil hota Hail, Mrs ASR bang kar - Koil Pagal hi ho saktha hai" Well, ASR, what ever is the situation however is the agony never say a word like this to an "orphan".

Great job by the creatives to continue the intensity in the story! Barun, Sanaya, and Abhaas were great in their expressions! ⭐️


@Anna, great analysis, loved reading your understanding of Arnav's character.
@Nia, interesting analyiss. I liked your point where you said that Arnav believed Khushi's truth on a subconcious level and he may be pretending to disbelieve in khushi in order to trap shyam.
Knowing his character, this could be possible. He may have a master plan to prove khushi's innocence and this may put Shyam off guard. Right now I feel Shyam has no idea of how deep Arnav's love is for Khushi as he feels he is succesful in poisoning his mind against khushi and this could be an advantage to Arnav. He may not trust her now but his love for her will push him to get to the bottom of this issue. We are already seeing his heart vs. mind conflict growing by the day.


Yesterday's confrontation was concluded today. I'm glad Khushi told Arnav the whole truth regarding Shyam's deception. Now at least Arnav knows her side of the story. His disbelief in her story makes complete sense. Since his trust has been broken many times in the past, its very unlikely that he would believe Khushi immediately. His heart may have believed her but he will need solid proof to believe in her innocence completely and to erase the memory he has of the terrace scene. Barun was great in protraying expressions of belief and then disbelief in the scene. It was good to see Khushi noticing Arnav and Shyam's interaction and tension. Payal noticed Khushi getting tensed about it. Could it be an indication that she'l notice Shyam's evil actions and that he's still after Khushi? Could she play a role in exposing Shyam to Arnav? She was the one who convinced Arnav that Khushi was saying the truth on the day of the fashion show. Since she knows the full truth about Shyam, she can help trap and expose him. Right now Shyam's attention is mainly on Khushi and Arnav, Payal's involvement may take him by suprise. This is only possibe if Payal notices something going wrong.

Khushi's approach to Shyam did not come as a suprise. She wanted Shyam to clear the misunderstanding as he is the one who created it in the first place. She doesn't realize how dangerous Shyam is. She doesn't know that Shyam has attempted to kill Anjali and he poisoned Arnav's mind against her. This is because she perceives people from her point of view. She does not understand that not everyone is like her. Will have to wait for the upcoming episodes to t see what Khushi's next step will be.
I think Arnav's last line when he says only someone crazy would want to leave the riches and the comfort of being ASR's wfe will come back to haunt him when Khshi will leave him.
will look forward to thanthya and doodleberry's analysis :)

Updated on pg 2. Happy Reading Reduxians!😊

Anna although we discussed that it is a naivety or desperation of Khushi to believe Shyam will heed to her request...yet I'm pasting what I originally wrote...
Khushi's act might not be intelligent but she realized that she cannot ask her family to reveal the truth...becoz of the 6th month clause...same is the reason with Payal...even if she confides...Payal can infer the reason of her hasty marraige...which Khushi would not do as true to her nature she will not put anyone elses relationship at stake... So she asks Shyam as he is the co-conspirator and if the truth she told is reiterated by Shyam then Arnav's doubts will clear automatically.
Apart from there is an Idiom...It is from Telugu ...
Shankham lo posthene teertham avuthundi means Charanamrit Shankh mein dalne par hi banata hai (Although it might be plain water but only after pouring it through a conch we call it Holy Nectar)
Charanamrit = Holy Nectar from the Feet of the Lord of the worshipped Deity and is partaken as a sacred offering or a holy gift after the completion of the Pooja.
So the truth has to come out of Shyam's mouth for Arnav to believe Khushi. What an Irony!!!!
