Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret. AMBROSE BIERCE, The Devil's Dictionary

Does Arnav need any help to put a shoes in his mouth? Be it towards "darling" Di or "kind" Khushi? He is the target of the brunt of my anger and it will take a lot for him to convince me otherwise. I haven't missed an IPKKND episode since September and let me tell you, I am usually the type who always tries not to bash. But recently... If I saw you in front of me "Chotte" than I will borrow Rapunzel's frying pan and give you the lesson Khushi should have given you the very first day she met you!

Ok, calm yourself down Nazifa! You don't need to raise your BP! Bah! Hambug!

Khushi has taken it to heart and he is going to need all the help he can get to win her back. Period. If that doesn't happen, it will be the CVs who will get to kiss my frying pan. Yes I will go there.

Regret is an odd emotion because it comes only upon reflection. Regret lacks immediacy, and so its power seldom influences events when it could do some good. WILLIAM O'ROURKE, Idle Hands

He hasn't reflected on his actions, or rather hasn't had the time, felt the need, given the push, and still doesn't have the complete picture. He needs to sit down and think things through. He never does that where Khushi is concerned. He merely assumes things about Khushi. (I am very unforgiving tonite).

A passionate unrestrained desire, beyond the control of people

Khushi….A girl in Love for the first time in her life…..A girl who cannot see any one suffer……who immediately interferes and tries to erase everyone's pain……was blamed by her prince charming….as the root cause of all the problems in his sister's life……She was blamed for sabotaging his Di's happiness……A fear she herself carried in the depth of her heart….was also voiced out by her love…….Her thoughts and her mind confirms that as truth……And she decides to leave her prince for the sake of his happiness and his sister's happiness….silently killing her love in the process…..She doesn't blame him….instead justifies herself that what he said is true……Such is love…..for Khushi……An unconditional love that she carries in her heart……

Arnav….realises the grave mistake he made in the spur of the moment…..He realises the hurt and torment he had provided to his lady love……Rushing home he finds his worst fear confirmed….She is packing her bags…..Not out of anger…..but out of love for him…..She decides to leave him for his happiness and her sister's happiness……without realising that she is his pillar of strength…..she is his oasis……she is the love of his life…and his life would carry no meaning…without her existence……He knows that…..and has accepted that fact sometime back……He desperately tries to stop her…..by saying that he went overboard with anger…..But again….she informs him that's the truth…...every word…she speaks conveys volumes of love that she has for him….…He loves her…He cannot see her go….He even asks her "what about me……"…a sentence that emotes millions of emotions…..She reciprocates him with an answer…..Will you be able to lead a happy life if your sister is unhappy…..for a moment he leaves her hand…..His mind is racing to find a reason to stop her…..To stop her from leaving him………He has found a reason to stop her…..His frustration to use that as a reason to stop her…..clearly reflects in his expressions….He has no choice but to use that…..otherwise his khushi will leave him…..

He blocks the door……She says "I have to go"…..and he states "you cannot go"and when she proceeds to go…he pulls her and informs her that she cannot leave because of the contract……She cannot believe that the love of her life is mentioning about the contract… after what she had gone through for him…..after what they have gone through together…..He cannot bear to see the pain in her eyes and turns back and forces himself to continue with the argument….and pulls himself to inform her…….that he will instigate Akash to leave Payal……..he knows the sorrow and pain these words would bring her… But only this reason will get her to stay with him in RM……and will provide him the much needed time to woo her back and to rectify the mistakes he made…..…He turns and faces her again….and merely states that the more you try to leave the more I will try to make you stay…..His eyes literally begging her not to put through the misery of hurting her with his words again….

She always thinks of his Di's happiness….whereas Arnav always uses Khushi's sister as a reason to get her to stay……with the Payash rift blooming up…….Arnav will find himself acting as an anchor….and bring them together….Khushi will witness this and will realise that Arnav's intentions were never to separate them…..

Khushi obliges to stay…not before declaring that he is still a "Shaithan" and he has never changed….his face reflects the pain he goes through… to hear the opinion his lady love has of him….She accuses him that even if she tries to forget….He will make sure to cause her pain and will break her heart again and again.….he tries to say something…but khushi stops him from continuing…..and declares that Arnav Singh Raizada will never change…..

For a moment he breathes a sigh of relief……that she isn't leaving him….and vows to win her back….before the contract finishes……..

At night he finds her staring at the stars…..her parents…..or rather their parents……he recollects the incidence when she taught him the meaning of it….and the belief she has…..towards it…..today as a sad figure…she stood there recollecting his words…...she looks at her parents drawing strength from them…..silently communicating with them……Her heart still fails to believe what he said…but hurt by what he said…….She has him near her…but still she feels that he doesn't belong to her….like she had lost him and no hope of getting him back……She thinks about her wedding day……..Arnav silently watches her…with Sorrow and grief….He can see her pain and heartache….. He seeks for her forgiveness and for the hurt he had given her…He vows to erase all her sorrows and promises himself to win her back…..and make her a part of his life forever…..

The next day he wakes up to find that she isn't sleeping next to him…Checks out for her in the entire house only to be told by Naniji that she had left for Buaji's house…..His frustration in not able to make her stay……transforms to desperation…to see her……He quickly changes and drives to GH……He finds her……breathes a sigh of relief……She feels his presence…….

He comes closer to her…..frustrated…..with him…for letting her go and not guarding her……He musters courage to show his frustration as anger…..and shouts at her for leaving him even though he asked her not to leave….and how dare she left him to come to GH….without informing him……after what happened yesterday……She forces her to look at him when he is talking……

Buaji comes in to let him know that it was her birthday….and every year she has jelabi in her Babuji's hands………When Arnav comes to know that it is Khushi's birthday…..He looks at her…..first with a surprise…..that she hadn't informed him…..his frustration completely gone……and when Buaji asks about the gift for Khushi….. Realisation strikes him…..How come he doesn't know and remember her birthday…..with a slight glint in his eyes he looks at her……Is it a promise that he will never let her forget this birthday……?????

Lots of pointers...But they were all discussed by my friends in this forum and please go through their inputs...

Hats off to the entire team of IPKKND for this beautiful episode and a fab performance by all the actors...👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Whenever you're in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.
-William James.

Relationship. The back bone of a society. We are all social beings. And for our very own survival we need to be surrounded by people. We are driven by emotions and this is the base for any relationship. The relationship can be because of the blood or emotions. And as time passes the depth of the relationship takes different forms. It matures. It goes kaput. It ends. It begins.

For Arnav he carried a baggage because of his past. He was(is) scarred deep inside.He was afraid of relationships.To commit himself to any. His universe was his Di. Her wish was his command. He would bring the whole world at her feet. He only shared his raw emotions with her. His life revolved around her. And his Di had given him two very good advises

1. Jis din woh ladki tumhare zindagi se chali jayegi na.. tumhari saansein ruk jayegi.

2.Chote zindagi ka koi bharosa nahi, kal kya ho kisko pata.. jis ko hum sab se zyada pyaar karte hain. Unhe jaane nahi dena chahiye.

And there entered Ms. Khushi Kumari Gupta. Who was nothing like him. Her middle class background was a big turn off for him. He couldn't tolerate her presence. But they were connected through soul. So destiny brought them together time and again and were bound to fall in love. The love they shared was infinite love. Only circumstances has made that finite. The love between them can break all barriers and sustain till eternity.

Arnav would have never thought that he could feel such deep rooted emotions other than his Di. When his Di was talking about the Saansein ruk jayegi his reaction was Phftt, just scoffed off. And when she told him about expressing his love , he realized how deeply and madly he loved Khushi and he was ready to express it before her. However, at some point in our lives we have to face the test which redefines our relationship. For Arnav right now it is how far he is going to travel to bring her back into his live. Will he stand tall and make her his forever as he has declared.

Today when Khushi mentioned that she wants to part ways because of Di, his immediate reaction was Khushi dont do this to me.. Tumhare bina setting in motion the Point No 1. yes my very breath will be taken away. I will be fish out of water. The very reason I breathe is because of you and if you are not around me.. I can guarantee you that I will not survive. Khushi was still trying to convince him why she thinks her decision is good and to this he said Aur Mai. The second point touched upon. How can I live without you Khushi. How can you even say such things. Its destined that we are meant to be together for ever. Its OUR life. Not yours and mine in separate ways. Isn't it an irony in itself that his Di parted him the knowledge about the basics of this deep relationship and now because of her he is realizing it.

No long post from me today - not in the mood to write because what I said today in discussion I was just proved right today! 😛

Just want to say one thing - Barun Sobti - no one can portray ASR, Arnav and chotte and the combination of all three as you! Today I concentrated on your expressions alone and you were brilliant! 👏 👏 👏

Just one request - get a hair cut and reduce the gel! Could not remove my eyes from the over gelled hair in the end scene. Otherwise Arnav rocked it usual! 😃

Love and Light

All's fair in love and war

Khushi wants to leave Arnav: Picking up from yesterday, Khushi remembers the good times between Arnav and Di and the recent happenings that broke their relationship to some extent. She holds herself responsible and tells Arnav that if it were not for her, things would have been good for Di and she'd be happy with Shyam. It would have been better if they had not met and it's all her fault.

Arnav tries to tell her that he made a mistake and did it all in his anger. But, she feels that what he said about her is true, she is not leaving in anger, but cannot make anyone unhappy, especially him and also Di. The best thing is for her to leave to Buaji's house.

Arnav says he'll not let her go and he didn't want to say what he did and is even ready to admit that he cannot live without her. Khushi cuts him off saying she cannot bear it that Di is in this desolate state because of her. When Arnav asks her "What about me", her response is, "Can you be happy when Di is sad?"

Khushi feels Arnav will never be happy if his Di isn't happy, period. She'll do anything for her Arnav ji, even stay away from her beloved, if necessary. She understands what her husband said and is not even angry at his accusations. But, does she realize that he cannot live without her, without seeing her smiling face and her chirpy attitude? How can he survive the darkness without his sunshine? They are one now and not two separate entities. If one hurst, the other is hurt; if one's happy, the other is happy too. How can she even think he'll let her go? What should he do to keep her? Yes, there's only one way to stop her.

Desperate times call for desperate measures

Arnav brings in the marriage contract – His stubborn wife does not want to listen and has made up her mind. A desperate Arnav thinks quickly about his options and viola, here's something that'll stop her. He brings in the issue of their marriage contract and how she leaving without fulfilling it, so forget about leaving until the contract ends. Khushi is stunned that he's capable of bringing up the contract after all they've been through. She's really angry and asks him what he'll do if she breaks it? Our man does not back out and tells her that he'll break up Payal-Akash relationship and will do whatever it takes to keep her. His heart is not even in it and he's no longer the harsh guy even, but he'll do and say all this is needed for her.

Khushi turns a virago and she tells him she should have known that he'll never change from Arnav Singh Raizada, he'll hurt her and break her heart and will always remain a Shaitan.

Arnav is really very sad that he had to resort to such lowly measures which will make Khushi very unhappy, but what choice does he have? After she leaves, he silently asks for her forgiveness and promises to bring her back before the contract ends.

Later in the night, Arnav notices Khushi looking at the stars and remembers how they watched it together at one point. He notices how sad his wife is, remembers how he forcefully married her and vows silently that he'll win her back and make her his forever; he asks for her forgiveness and apologizes for giving her so much pain.

How Khushi's love changed this man from a Shaitan to a Rajkumar. Though he tried to pretend to her that he's still the shaitan, the rajkumar in him comes shining through. It's only a matter of time before he sets things to rights and she sees him for what he is, her knight in shining armor who'll always be by her side and never leave her.

Arnav searches for Khushi – When he wakes up the next morning, Arnav can't find his wife. He's so afraid that she's left him and searches for her everywhere. I think he's always had this insecurity that Khushi will leave him. On entering Di's room, his question is "Di have you seen Khushi?" Anjali becomes all wooden faced on hearing this. Is the jealousy that her chote's priority is Khushi and not her, coming into picture? May be. Arnav realizes his mistake, backtracks and asks her if she's taken her morning medicines. She nods her head. He leaves and nani ji who's tending to Anjali, follows him. Nani informs him that Khushi is at Buaji's.

Khushi at Buaji's – Buaji asks Khushi if she ran away or did she inform people at home. Khushi, puts on her cheerful face (though she's hurting badly on the inside) and tells her yes, she did run away and then corrects it by saying of course not, and as if he'd let her go.

Khushi is giving arti to her Devi Maiyya and asks for forgiveness for hiding the truth from amma, bauji and buaji. Arnav reaches GH right at that moment and asks Khushi why she left him without telling him and doesn't she know what he's capable of doing. Buaji enters with amma and bauji (good news is that bauji seems to be doing better ) and buaji asks him why he's scolding her and she only came to eat rabri and jalebi as it's her BIRTHDAY. Wow, ASR doesn't even know his wife's birthday. He looks at Khushi and a slient question is asked and she responds in silence; it's understood that she hasn't run away from him. Arnav is relieved and slightly apologetic for misjudging her.

Love does not need a language neither does it need words. The eyes communicated all that was needed. Isn't this fantastic?

Bahut Mazaa Aaya

Sanaya and Barun, your on-screen chemistry never fails to amaze me. You guys totally rock.

Barun's expressions were really good as the guy who's desperate, who's confused, who's thinking up reasons to stop his wife, who's worried about his wife's whereabouts and the relief when he knows she didn't walk away from him.

Dedicated to Arnav and Khushi

kaun kahataa hai mohabbat kii zubaa.N hotii hai

''Sahir Hoshiarpuri

kaun kahataa hai mohabbat kii zubaa.N hotii hai, ye haqiiqat to nigaaho.n se bayaa.N hotii hai

They never have to utter a word, their eyes do all the talking. Only if they learn to listen..to read ..Hamesha!

vo na aaye to sataatii hai Khalish sii dil ko, vo jo aaye to Khalish aur javaa.N hotii hai

They can't live without each and other and yet they are the biggest source of "Khalish" for each other.

ruuh ko shaad kare dil ko jo puranuur kare, har nazaare me.n ye ta.nviir kahaa.N hotii hai

Yet no one else can drech their souls with love the way they do of each other.

zabt-e-sailaab-e-mohabbat ko kahaa.N tak roke, dil me.n jo baat ho aa.Nkho.n se ayaa.N hotii hai

Their love is uncontainable and has truimphed over all the obstacles thrown at them by destiny till now. Will do so always.

zindagii ek sulagatii sii chitaa hai "Sahir", sholaa ba.ntii hai na ye bhuj ke dhuaa.N hotii hai

For them to remember always...

Ahh..I so love these two characters😊

Now coming to today's episode...

So as expected, Khushi chose to walk out of RM instead of messing up things further. Loved how the CVs used FBs here, the first FB of Khushi is of the incident when Anjali was upset with Arnav over Khushi..first time when she realised what anjali means to Arnav. Arnav tries to apologize (didn't hear him say Sorry, did I miss?) but in vain..Khushi is not angry, she has just accepted the situation and arrived at the solution. Arnav can't verbalize his feelings for her yet again, stops midway'"aur mera kya?" .."mein tumhare bina"'She understands this but she also understands that they can't build their love nest on the foundation of Anjali's pain and agony. He knows too, thats why let go of her hand but then he can't let her go..she has become his life'he understands if she leaves his "saansein ruk jayengi". And there he plays the only Ace left with him..The Contract 'yes its a verbal contract between them 'no papers ..no Mr Roy. Here she forgets the most important advice she has given once to ASR .."jo sachche note hai who aankhon main dekh kar baat karte hai" 'she didn't read ASR yesterday too'ASR turned his back when he said those nasty things to her yesterday..he did turn today as well when he raised the contract again. What Khushi did read but didn't apply it correctly to the situation was 'Jab bhi hum aapko bhulne ki koshish karenge app humein dard denge ..dil dukhayenge' Yes, whenever Khushi will try to go away from him , he will stop her, he will hold her close to himself fiercely even if it means hurting himself..hurting her.

Both of them are yet to learn to listen to the unsaid words of each other, to learn to read each other eyes and see beyond each other's actions. They did it in the extreme life threatening situation, they need to do it more often because the ride ahead is not an easy one for them. It never was.

Khushi is slowly taking over Anjalis position in Arnav's heart. Is Anjali reading this and making stronger case against Khushi in her mind or just noting down Arnav's restlessness here . Will she use it against Arnav Khushi's or for them is to be seen. My mind says she is unhappy with Khushi and Arnav Khushi's growing equation, My heart says she is NOT against Khushi..not yet. She is not trying to judge the situation right now..still reeling in the aftermath of the storm trying to figure out what is that she lost.

Random Musings

~ Couldn't help but start with Payalji and Akashji . They both should be rechristened as Pinky and Pinku.😃 What is with Pink shirt, pink bed sheet, pink paint/wallpaper, pink nail paint, pink night suit. Uff😆. Pink lipstick bhi thi kya??

~Breaking news from IPK land'Arnav and Khushi ARE sharing the bed.

~Nani the backbone of RM, has recovered quickly, is taking care of her kids and being their strength in this troubled time👍🏼. ASR has inherited nerves of steel from Raizada's for sure. Wonder what could have gone wrong that his mother had to take the extreme step of killing herself.

~No information to Gupta's of the storm'a bad move.👎🏼

~ Notice the way ASR is searching for Khushi in Kitchen...'bhai Khushi ko dhoond rahe ho ya koi dabba??😆

~ Conversation between Payal and Akash looked forced.

Parting shot, why do I have this feeling that some scenes are directed by ADs and thats why are lacking the required punch?😡
