Waiting and watching for the whole Maami-Anjali scene before I spout any words suspense, wondering what's going to happen next!
Khushi has burnt her fingers before while dealing with the Devil. Before she goes ahead with her plan to ensare him with the divorce papers, she halts for a minute doubting her actions. She knows that what she's going to do can backfire, can land her in more mess, but this time it's not about proving herself to anyone, this time it's about finding her love at any price, she would readily face any accusations on herself as long as she finds Arnav safe and sound. This time, she herself in totality doesn't matter to her. Only Arnav matters.
In all this emotional turmoil however, Khushi keeps her head firmly on her shoulders. Supported by NK, she is determined to make up for her faulty actions in the past. The image of Arnav being dragged out unconscious pushes her to go on with her plan to save both Arnav and Anjali from the evil clutches of Shyam. The divorce papers are just a ruse right now, but who knows, they may come in handy in the future!
Before I move on to the next scenes, what caught my attention was the slip by NK "Hum sitaphal.. sorry, Safal honge" - I could just think that there's a connect to 'Sita' and some of the Reduxians have identified Khushi as 'Sita'. And since 'phal' = fruit, was mentioned, all I could think of was that Khushi's efforts to find Arnav will meet with success, or will meet 'fruit'ion!
Another interesting thig I found that there are varieties of custard-apple (sitaphal) - one is Sitaphal, then is Ramphal, Hanumanphal and Lakshmanphal. Now anyone reading Redux daily would know that some have related Khushi to Sita, Aranav to Ram, and NK to Lakshman/Hanumanji. Interesting, na!! 😃
Also, seems like it's a message for the future too... Safal is to meet with success, but I'm not sure which problem will be solved - Shyam's evil deeds? The baby track? Anjali knowing Shyam's truth? All of the above? 😕
When she thinks - she considers everything as a whole by joining in the bits and pieces. But when it comes to 'performing' - she tends to work on whatever is laid in front of her at that moment. Just go look at all the scenes when Khushi and she go searching for Arnav - the security tapes, the hiding in the mall from the kidnapper, getting to the hide-out... check her closely - you will notice that there is a marked difference when she uses her brains, and when she acts on the spot! Let me know the results you find, 😉 it was an amazing experience for me to see this divide between her mind and actions!
ASR completely by Shyam divorcing Anjali, while Shyam takes her up on this only as a way to get to Khushi.
Khushi is playing her cards well and deftly. Each move, word, and expression hits all the weak points of Shyam. She is using all his weaknesses as her strengths. Shyam signs the so-called Divorce papers without looking at the, instead looking at the Devi in front of him. He does this to show that he will do anything for her blindly... but it won't last for long. He will suspect her even then. The only way to curb his suspicions is to play him smartly, swiftly, and accurately. Use his own words against him, his own expressions against him, and serve him with enough temptation that he can't resist exposing himself and falling in he trap laid out for him.

WHAT I LIKED
1. NK knows each and every step Khushi has taken toward finding Arnav: He is aware of the fake-divorce papers that are hiding the Will that transfers ASR's/Raizada property to Anjali. He knows about Shyam's obsession for Khushi, and knows how 'sick' Shyam is!
2. Maamiji saw the one real side of Shyam today: She is now a witness to his unfaithfulness, to his favour (obsession) for Khushi over Anjali. This will work against Shyam in future when the whole truth about him comes out.
3. Khushi uses the words "hum akele hai" again: knowing very well that it will spur Shyam into proving that he is by her side. She has learnt which words, which emotions, which looks and which gestures move this man to do as she wants, without him knowing it.
4.Shyam reading the papers given to him by Khushi: What did I say? This man though mesmerized by Khushi will still be cautious (I'm happy that my character analysis of him is not very far off the mark.. pats back). I'm glad they showed him doing this - Khushi should keep this in mind, and be careful in dealing with him, and should never ever underestimate him. I had mentioned in my post yesterday that just because Shyam loses sense over Khushi and wealth doesn't mean he'll lose all bits of sense! Khushi alone can however tackle this smartly.
5. Shyam in Black: He looked like the perfect evil Devil in all Black!: Darkeness shrouds his whole soul. Dark times ahead of him too? 😉

Wait for the Maamiji-Anjali scene to be completed today... let's see what happens!
