For 4lions
Yes, I was amazed!
Yes, I was spellbound!
Yes, I was struck speechless!
It was riveting. It was dramatic. It was absolutely fantabulous. Right from the beginning to the end, it was delicious. What an episode!
Triumph on one side, frustrated ambition on the other.
Acceptance on one side, blind trust coupled with denial on the other.
Cementing of the sacred wedding wows, though hastily taken and that too in revenge on one side; and the beginning of the disintegration of a pathetic, one sided and empty parasitic relationship on the other.
A mother's relief and concern. A matriarch's utter shock; on being brought into the know of the grave peril in which her grandson was in the past few days; on seeing the state he is in; on seeing the state his wife is in. A sister's pain, anger, confusion.
Everything was a treat to watch.
The ARHI re-union scene (for want of a better word; I refuse to call it a love scene. It was nothing so mundane... it was superlative, and far above anything I have seen on an Indian daily soap) has been analysed and re-analysed several times over today. So I won't go there today.
Today I will share my thoughts on a few other things and pose a few questions of my own:
1. Shyam Manohar Jha- he was driving away when the goons called him up and informed him of all his plans coming to nought. He was angry and frustrated. It was after this that he staged an accident and went back to RM injured. What was the exact purpose he hoped to achieve? He wanted to play on the sympathies of the family members and his gullible wife- that much was obvious. What else? Did he think that ARHI will not come back so soon, and they can be intercepted before that? He seemed pretty calm and collected while Anjali was tending to his wounds. He seemed to have thought it through and to have come to a decision? What decision? What new plan?
2. Anjali Jha- she was slowly coming to accept the terrible news that her husband does not deserve the halo that she had presented him with. Then suddenly... presented with the opportunity of being face to face with him and that too when he was in an injured state all thoughts of doubt flew out the window. It may seem puzzling to some, but quite a natural reaction in my opinion. She has decided to cling to her version of reality. This is where the danger lies. "nahin Mami, hum na kuch poonchna chahte hain aur na hi kuch sunna chahte hain." She is blind and deaf to the advise and entreaties of her family. She has laid herself open to the lies and manipulations of her husband. Is this what Shyam had planned? To use the next weapon in his arsenal- Anjali (Singh Raizada)Shyam Manohar Jha? Disturbed and worried though he apparently showed himself to be, was this why he seemed confident he will escape yet another time?
3. The cold war- when Khushi came in injured, everyone gathered around her. The first to reach her was Payal. Even Mami who was laboring under a misunderstanding came running towards her. Anjali Jha stayed put. She was puzzled, curious... but concerned? Naah! When Shyam too arose and showed fake concern, she didn't like it... not one bit. You could almost see the wheels turning in her head. Anjali Jha is waking up. "Apni aankhein kholiye, Anjali ji." And she has done it with a vengeance. It may cause Khushi some major heartbreak in the near future, but it is going to come back and hit Shyam with the maximum impact in the long run.
4. The sibling bond- Shyam Manohar Jha can plot and plan all he wants. He can cause misunderstandings, rifts, heartbreaks and what not in this family and between the Raizada Siblings... but when the push comes to shove; Anjali will run towards her darling Chottey. Everyone was gathered around Khushi asking her the reason for the state she is in. Anjali stayed back with Shyam. Shyam moved towards Khushi. Arnav makes his entrance... and Anjali flew towards him... what happened, why are you in this state? All thoughts of her husband and his injuries forgotten. Three cheers for that. Anjali may be gullible, deluded, blind, deaf, shrewd and manipulative... but in the kingdom of her heart, her Chottey still rules!
5. Mother's love- Mami, Mami, Mami and only Mami! She was the first to reach Arnav and the first to pull him into a hug. For once, she did not wait to observe the protocol. The first hug belongs to Anjali, doesn't it? But today she didn't care for that. For once this lioness wanted to coddle and shower her love on her cub unrestrainedly, and she did so without waiting for her turn. Manorama Raizada had had a trying day.
a. That very morning she had found out that her niece's marriage was crumbling- Anjali's husband was cheating on her with none other than Khushi. She tried getting Anjali to accept the truth, only to come up with a stone wall. Anjali would not believe her.
b. She arrives home with Anjali, only to have Anjali fuss over her husband who had turned up injured. Mami is not convinced with Shyam's excuses. She wants to question him and is stopped by Anjali. She is not happy about it.
c. When Khushi arrives home in an injured state, she is suspicious. She intercepts the look exchanged between Khushi and Shyam. Khushi looks angry and disgusted, Shyam looks worried. Mami has noticed and she will try to get to the bottom of matters.
d. She is impatient when Arnav is hesitant to tell his family the truth about his kidnapping and tells them the truth, that Arnav never went to Scotland and that he was kidnapped. In the midst of all this drama when Shyam tries to divert Anjali's attention, Mami angrily shows him his place.

First half of episode
Dhak Dhak, what is it? It's just the beat of heart which is the size of one's fist. So, why does this tiny organ matter so much to us? Heart plays a really major role in our lives. Someone told me that 'We say people are kind hearted, good hearted, faint hearted etc. Never do we say kind mind, good mind to describe anybody.' That's how important it is. So, is it surprising that lovers use this same heart again to communicate with each other (heart-to-heart communication); no need for words anymore. What if this tiny heart stops beating, especially that of a beloved?
Today, Arnav found his Khushi hurt and lying between tree branches. On reaching her, he's not aware of her condition, but first thing is, he re-assures her that everything is ok and he's fine, which is what she'd have like to hear if she were actually conscious. Once he pulled her out of the trees, he saw that she's unconscious and is not breathing. What gave him the clue? He remembered that she always held on to his shirt in her unconscious state (Guest House and Nainital) . Right after the Didi tere dance, he tells her that she noticed a lot of things about him. Hello buddy, what did you do? Didn't you notice a lot of things about her too?
Coming back to episode, oh! How hard it is to see a beloved in that condition. He tried his level best to bring her back to life, urging her with words, holding on to her, reassuring her, sharing his anguish with her. When all else failed, he remembered the wonderful holi time when they confessed their feelings and realized their hearts beat as one. As a last resort he took her hand and placed it on his heart and voila, her dhak dhak (heart-heart) is back. There's a twitch in Khushi's fingers and when Arnav whispers her name in an anguished tone not realizing that she's coming back to him, there's a 'hmmm' response from her. Imagine the joy, ecstasy, relief one feels when the beloved whom you thought was almost at death's door, whom you thought you lost forever, comes back to you.
Was there any need for words when lovers talk to each other in the depth of their beings through their hearts? It's a silent communication that does not require a language; the only language used here is 'SILENCE' because only in silence can two hearts talk to, hear and understand each other. Love definitely has no barriers, including language.
Second half of Episode
Arnav and Khushi have been through many trials and tribulations and have put through fire to come out purified. Are the trying times over? No way, but the difference is now they have each other to go through whatever life offers them; more lessons to be learned which will only strengthen their bond further. Of course, Shyam will do the honors of testing this bond once again.
The lovers reach home and the important question is asked if Arnav knows about his kidnapper (loved Barun's change of expression at the mention of kidnapper). Khushi tells him that it's none other than shyam; no more hiding things from each other. Arnav asks her if she's sure; there's no doubt in his mind that she's right, but he's just trying to reassure himself as he didn't have any inkling that Shyam was the kidnapper. Of course, our man switches to ASR mode, the practicalities have to come into play; does she have any proof? This is for the family members to know and understand about Shyam, especially since so many things were hidden from them before. Who'll believe her now?
Anjali is hovering around Shyam crying, Akash is calling the doctor. But, mamiji is still not happy with Shyam. If nothing else, she's a practical woman and needs to know right now about the discussion betwen Shyam & Khushi. For a concerned Anjali of course these things aren't important when husband is actually hurt. Notice that none except Anjali is close to Shyam at this point.
Enter Khushi and what's the reaction? Nani, mami, Payal, Akash walk to her, Anjali still by shyam's side. The whole family is concerned about her disheveled state. Payal and nani start asking questions and who walks in next, of course, none other than ASR. The first one to react is Anjali who left Shyam's side and went to her chote. But, mamiji is the first one to hug him and cry. She's truly his mother, concerned for her child and happy that he's back. She immediately asks him questions about his escape. Akash, Nani, Anjali and mami are standing by Arnav and Payal by Khushi; Shyam is alone once again.
Shyam is really worried now about a confrontation and to divert everyone's attention from questions, says that Arnav needs breathing space. But mami ji puts her foot down and wants answers now. Good going mamiji, this is of utmost importance. A silent communication exchanged between Arnav and Khushi; he's seeking her approval with a questioning look and she responds using her eyes and he understands (I just loved this totally). Of course slowly, things are being revealed about the kidnap. Imagine the state of Nani, Akash, Anjali and Payal; they are totally in the dark. If your own family does not trust you to share things with you, how would you feel? Sure, they have their reasons, but will the family understand and will they believe Khushi? Let's wait and see what happens, shall we?
Bahut maza aaya
1) I know whatever we say it's still inadequate, but just to show our appreciation can we say THANK YOU to the whole IPK team for the wonderful job you've been doing. We are all really happy to see IPK back on track and were very touched by the first half of the episode and will watch repeats of it online, if I'm not mistaken 👏👏
Barun was fantastic; will we ever forget the anguish, the pain, the fear, the suffering, the joy that he showed yesterday? Sanaya supported him excellently. Have we ever seen such on-screen chemistry like Arshi's? It's like the soul connection this couple has, is brought alive. Barun and Sanaya, take a bow. 👏👏
2) We all know that so many of Doodleberry's tracks came true, especially that of 'Sleeping Beauty', 'Fox and the goat', '7th angel blowing the trumpet' and many more. Hats off to her⭐️👏⭐️.
3) The flute music brought a lump in my throat
Finally back to normal. Was jumping with excitment , tension throughout the episode.
