~ Washington Irving quotes

It is not easy to be a woman.. Every woman has so many roles in her life.. She enters this world as a DAUGHTER.. She becomes a SISTER.. She becomes her mother's best FRIEND, her CONFIDANTE.. She then carries their DREAMS and make them REALITY.. She grows up and gets married.. She becomes a WIFE, who cares for her husband, fulfills his every wish.. a LOVER.. a LIFE PARTNER who walks down with you on every path, always by her husbands side.. a DAUGHTER IN LAW, who takes care of you.. who becomes a DAUGHTER.. A SISTER IN LAW.. who becomes your partner in crime.. in whom you can confide. with whom you can share your secrets..

The Day comes when She becomes a MOTHER.. She understands you.. She loves you unconditionally.. She encourages you.. She tells you that things will be alright.. when you grow up She becomes your FRIEND.. She also embarrasses you at times with her LOVE.. She then shares her dreams with you.. She watches you grow up and she wants you to find your LIFE PARTNER.. She then becomes a MOTHER IN LAW.. She welcomes your partner as her own child.. and loves him/her unconditionally too..

Not only these.. when her loved ones are faced with problems, she has the capability to be their ANCHOR amid-st the rocking waters.. She is the ONE who holds everyone together in hard times.. She is the shoulder you can cry on.. A hand you can rely on.. A gentle nudge, that pushes you forward.. A Kind voice, guiding you on..

This is what EVERY WOMAN does.. This what EACH WOMAN is made of.. Juggling so many roles in her daily life.. Being the moral support and the strength of her family.. She may not be appreciated at times, but she still never shies away from her responsibilities.. She does what she has to do.. Not complaining once..

Khushi Kumari Gupta is indeed one such WOMAN.. and what a WOMAN she is.. She has time and again proven her to be DAUGHTER any parent would be proud of.. She loves her family so completely that she will never let any harm come to them.. She showered them with LOVE and RESPECT.. She looked out for them.. She sacrificed her ego, self respect to keep them happy..

She proved her worth as a SISTER.. when she wanted to fight for her sister's dowry.. She again brought her sister closer to the MAN of HER DREAMS.. So much so.. She sacrificed her happiness for her sister's and became dowry herself..

She proved to be a wonderful Human being.. for whom the relationships and people mattered more than anything else.. She was a great FRIEND to Lavanya..

Then she became KHUSHI KUMARI GUPTA SINGH RAIZADA.. It didn't matter to her whether ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA considered her his WIFE.. It didn't matter whether he gave her the status of his wife.. She ALWAYS will fulfill her role as his WIFE.. She will protect her husband from harm, defamation and will never hurt him in anyway..

She always will first consider his wishes and then consider hers.. She can take up any role she is required to.. Today she has to his SAVIOUR.. She will go to any lengths to save him, protect him and bring him to safety.. She will even befriend the ENEMY and swim in dangerous waters, just so that she can reach her HUSBAND, her LOVER, Her LIFELINE..

Today's episode was the insight into a WOMAN Khushi has turned in to.. She is learning and learning FAST.. She now knows what she is facing.. She now understands her enemy.. She knows his strength and his weakness.. She is learning how to play with them.. She knows that she has to first make Shyam trust her.. Did you notice how beautifully she played Shyam on Shyam without even blinking???

How does Shyam Operate or has operated in the past?? He plants an idea.. He says some words.. He lays the plot.. And he makes you say the WORDS.. so you end up thinking, it was your idea from the beginning.. He makes you believe that he doesn't want it.. but cos you are insisting he's doing it..

He knowingly had put sindoor on Khushi's photo.. but told buaji, dekhiye na kya ho gaya humse?? He told garima and bua ji that babu ji was very worried abotu Khushi's marriage.. triggered then into thinking of him as groom.. He told Khushi he is doing it only for her family... He kept telling her that he had something important to talk to her.. So when he was exposed, he used those moments to make her believe that he did want to tell her the truth.. He played on their weakness.. Payal's marriage. and forced them to think and keep quiet..

What did Khushi do today?? She asked for his help.. Airing his self importance.. And she knew that he would not refuse.. OH!! the look of approval she was seeking from Shyam before signing the papers was CLASSIC.. and only when he said its ok, by mere blinking, did she sign the papers.. inflating his EGO further..

She kept on reinforcing her view that she hates them both equally.. Riling the lover in him.. She put him on the same stand as Arnav, which she knew would not sit well with him.. And there he was telling her how wrong she was.. He always has given her love.. when Arnav has given her nothing but hatred.. She let him touch her.. Let him think that she was so lost in her misery of being wronged.. and was burning in the fire of revenge that she did not notice, the hand on her shoulder, and jerked it off at the right moment.. She managed to convince him that she was no longer the same girl who she used to be.. She has been forced to change..

She played him like a flute today.. He was a putty in her hands.. She has managed to entice him.. She was able to draw him deeper into her web.. She was finally able to WIN his TRUST which was essential for her rescue mission..

She has learnt from her past mistakes.. She has a fairly neutral accomplice in NK.. and a HUGE table tipping accomplice in DEVI MAIYYA.. And she is keeping him up to date with the investigation and her plans.. She knows that to take Shyam down, she needs someone who will support her and has been with her every step of the way.. Because if its only her and him in a face off.. then the DEVIL has a sweet tongue.. And he can sweet talk anyone.. She could not prove her innocence to Arnav last time.. But this time she knows, that walking with Shyam will not be easy.. he will implicate her when the truth comes out.. In fact, it was NK who made her realise, that Shyam will never accept anything she says in front of others.. thus they need evidence.. they need to prove beyond the shadow of doubt who the culprit is..

Look at the transformation this girl has undergone.. She has come a long way from that Khushi.. who blurted out the whole lavanya thing in front of nani.. She is measuring each word.. She is planning every step..

This time of adversary has indeed show the mettle she is of.. She is Definitely " A WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE"

Today she is an example for every single woman who knows her.. that no matter how difficult a situation is.. No matter how alone you feel .. If you keep trying and remain positive, you will achieve your GOAL..

only thing that is pricking me right now is.. what was in those papers she signed?? Were they just fake property papers or was there anything more to them?? How does she think that signing those papers will prevent Shyam from hurting Arnav??

Abhaas and Sanaya were excellent in their scenes.. If you look at it like this, she was acting in front of Shyam.. And was very convincing.. Didn't ASR always say that "Waise bhi tum acting achchi kar leti ho.. Is liye tumhaare liye happy married couple ki acting karna difficult nahi hoga?"

For the much criticised dream sequence

I need to say that when I saw it for the first time.. I did not like it.. I could not see any sense to it.. I could not understand the reason behind it.. But then I saw only the segment from Khushi's FB's to Arnav's dream/ imagination.. (he was after all awake 😉)

Khushi's flashback's were interesting.. the first moment she was confused by his actions.. when he out the payal on her feet.. the first intimate touch.. when he was lost completely in her.. And the first time his lips touched her skin.. Her desires and her longing was shown beautifully..

I saw it once, twice, thrice.. And then finally it clicked me.. I liked it.. I appreciated it.. I loved it..I agree it was a hurried one, it had flaws.. One major one was it was shot in the kidnapper's den where we could see the cartons and the ladder, it was abrupt... BUT it had passion, It had chemistry.. it had acceptance..It had love.. It was BEAUTIFUL.. Cos I finally just concentrated on Arnav and Khushi.. Not where they were.. not what was around them..

Some would say it was majnufication of Arnav aka ASR..

For me it turned out to be a true reflection of ASR's desires and fears as Arnav..

It began with Arnav looking around for Khushi and there is so much pain and sadness on his face and his eyes.. he looks at Khushi's sad face and just keeps looking.. when he sees her dazzling smile.. And his heart and the eyes start gettin warmer.. The way he pulls her to himself.. Was a true character of his.. When he wants something, he gets it.. She is HIS..

They were twirling around.. but they were completely lost in each other's eyes.. They just kept staring into each other's eyes with so much intensity... look at their expressions when she walks away from him.. There is so much pain in their eyes.. He is looking at her so expectantly to save him from himself..

"tumse dil jo lagaya,

to jahaan maine paaya,

kabhi socha tha na yeh,

miloin door hoga saaya..

Kyun khuda tune mujhe khwaab aisa dikhaaya,

jab haqeeqat mein use todhna tha"

When you see his face, you can feel the way he feels for her.. His love for her.. She means the world to him.. She brought colours and laughter in his life.. He who only believed in himself, considers her as his shadow.. who is far from him.. He is asking why did lord show him such a dream when he had to break it in reality.. (pre marriage till terrace confrontation).. His heart is breaking when Khushi disappears.. And then she comes running and hugs him from behind.. when they finally meet at the kidnapper's den.. and then she leaves again and disappears.. One thing he is scared of, that he will be left behind by everyone he loves.. Like his mom left her.. Khushi's disappearing is just that.. He is scared to loose her.. It was the reason he took so long to realise the depth of his love for her..

It was like a loop closed for me.. Which was opened sangeet.. at Sangeet we had Khushi singing "ek dooje se hue alag jab ek dooje ke liye bane." Today we had Arnav realising the same thing and singing the same lines.. he has realised that they are meant to be together..

Arnav said to her on sangeet and new year, she has no brains.. Khushi said.. he has no heart.. Today we saw them becoming each other's brain and heart.. Today, Arnav was her brain.. and she was his Heart..

He then comes back to reality... searching for her.. and cries out her name into the darkness.. For the first time, he was scared of the surrounding darkness which was engulfing him.. Khushi could hear him calling.. She is so helpless that she has no clue where he is.. Where to look for him.. With each passing day.. each day she spends at home.. and he in that place.. the worry for his well being eating her heart...

I leave you all with the quote which fits ASR perfectly..

"To dream anything that you want to dream. That's the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed."
