I really enjoyed the episode today - no, not because of the peck on the cheek, but because of the steady unravelling of threads to weave the bigger picture that was laid out.
Poor Khushi, out of her selflessness to honour the Contract, and to keep her Arnavji happy by keeping Di happy, she hides out at her comfort zone - Buaji's place. Also, out of a bit of immaturity and slight silliness, she goes and tells the kind of lie that can be easily caught.
I thought my Khushi was brighter than this. Such a lie, really? And then it came upon me, of course, my dearest Khushi is hopeless with lies - time and again she has been told that she is zero when it comes to lying. The lie isn't really a lie. The lie is an excuse to be blind to the truth laid in front of her - that Arnav wants her as a part of his life.
Why then, you may ask, is she turning away from the man who she knows loves her? I think, it's probably the case of, once bitten twice shy. And in Khushi's case, it is 'many times bitten, hence terribly shy'.
Time and again, this girl's delicate, pure, defenceless heart has fallen for this man. Time and again, her love-struck heart has been trampled on, hurt, pained, rejected and attacked after showers of love and affection by the very same man. Isn't it natural then for her, to protect her innocent heart from being hurt again? And what better way to do it, than by implementing the Contract and Arnavji's happiness to come up with an excuse of Buaji being unwell, to save her gentle heart before it can be cut through yet again?
Frankly, Khushi is afraid to hope again - in love. Sad... my poor little Khushi, the sunshine of Hope for others is not prepared to hope that all will be well between her and Laad Governor. She will continue to hope for others, but the sun-rays of hope in her life are set against the sunshine of love setting into twilight.
Arnav has to reignite that soul of hope in love for her - in clear words. Apparently, loving, passionate actions don't factor as commitment in Khushi's brains. He has to spell it out for her - in bold capital letters too! Wondering how 'bold' he can get! 😉
Arnav, secure in the belief that Khushi has accepted him as her husband - that she will come back to RM, that she will stay with him forever is unable to fathom the reason for her crazy behaviour.
He is content that the two most important women in his life are in their rightful positions in his life. His Di, as always his ever loving sister-childhood companion, and Khushi - his love, life and wife!
Arnav has immersed himself in the role of a husband so naturally that Khushi's family has become his family too. The concern for Buaji was well shown today when he gets the Doctor to check her. The 'Contract' does not feature anywhere in Arnav's mind. To him, the Contract might as well be in a dustbin, or it's just a piece of gibberish that holds no meaning in his and Khushi's relationship.
Little does he know, that wife dearest has faced his flirtatious, loving side many times before, raising her hopes and love, only to be rudely awakened to the harsh side of him. Arnav is unaware that Khushi's heart will be unable to bear anymore thrashings. He continues with his gestures of love that only serve to confuse and disarrange Khushi with every moment of it.
For a man who never let anyone else, except his Di, have any right over him, he smoothly relinquishes himself to Khushi - giving her all right and power over him. ASR has come so very far in this ongoing journey of love!
Khushi however refuses to acknowledge the power Arnav has handed over to her. Arnav will have to reconcile, reassure and clarify the fact and truth of their relationship to Khushi.
Just like he brought up the 'Contract' to stop her from leaving RM, he will have to verbally let her know that they are in for a lifelong marriage - just like the old lady blessed them during Arnav's first stay at GH - "saat janmon ka rishta banaye rakhe".
Thus, the above paves way for Arnav-Khushi's re-marriage. It would be lovely if they take the saat pheras together - only two of them, without family. Grand marriage can be scheduled later... I don't know, but the former would be more magical, classic ArHi chemistry love scene! 😍
Anjali is back on her feet - literally! So much so that no one accompanies her! Improvement in RM members, but at the wrong time! Or right time (story-wise). Two missed calls, a signal? To Anjali? She magically pops up there after the second telephone ring. Anjali is also as bad at lying as Khushi is, not to mention, careless. Of course, she couldn't go 'out' of the house, but even so, a careful person would have not hobnobbed with 'mysterious person' at the main gate!
Maamiji, ever observant, ever-caring for her children catches Anjali red-handed (almost). Anjali lied to her, that much she knows, but why? Maamiji the detective will be on the prowl again? Will have to wait and see.
Repeat Telecast: Interesting one here... repeat telecast of what exactly? Arnav-Khushi's past (that DB laid down?), or Arnav-Khushi re-marriage? Or Shyam's entire truth in front of Anjali - this time she witnessing his true colours?
Bhateeji ki pati bahut bura tha: Aww... poor Arnav... He knows how much hurt and pain he has given Khushi. He ees still sad and guilty for not believing her, not trusting her, and for misunderstanding her. Also, there was a hint of disappointment mixed with anger that Khushi lied to him... since is unaware that the Contract has made an impact in Khushi's brains, he feels let down as a husband that his wife did not confide in him, and instead fed him lies.
Haath dhokar humaare peeche pad gayye: Of course Khushi - if that is not clear enough for you about how much your Laad Governor loves you...! He'll be behind you until you finally accept your marriage and relationship. 😃
Naaniji with pickle: Yay, my dearest pickle makes an appearance yet again! I'm actually tired of putting down my view about it so many times - that it is a preservative, and since once again they've shown Naaniji with it, only goes to show that the matriarch will preserve the relationships from getting spoilt. As the oldest. Wisest member of the family - it will be Naaniji who will always be at the helm of fixing disjointed affairs among her children.
Hide & Seek: So many people playing Hide & Seek currently. Anjali-Shyam, Khushi (with her feelings), oh, not that many people after all! But of course, Shyam's real face is yet to be seen by Anjali - it is still hidden. Bauji's condition too has to be revealed. And the main one: Khushi has to hear, understand and accept from Arnav that she is now Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada. No more KKGSR (though I love it!)
Role Reversal: Today we saw Khushi moving forward, and Arnav backing against the door! When these two do realize that they are equals, there will be passion and aggression with neither willing to back down! Will wait for that day. For now, Khushi, whether she accepts it or not, has already stepped in as Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada with her re-creating her husband's mannerisms.
Poora parivaar sukhi nahi hai: Need to exercise my brains on this one, or else will just see what DB has to say! 😆
Khushi's story to the doc: It had me rolling around in mad laughter!! Fine comedy...😆
Kahin aapka bwoyfriend toh naahin Saasuma!!
🤣🤣🤣
Obviously left the best for last... the...
KISS
No, I'm not going to sit and describe it, it's perfect as it is. Just loved the whole mushy, gooey feeling that accompanied it. My heart stopped for a moment, my breath got caught, my eyes were as wide as Khushi's when Arnav leaned in and gave her a nice, lingering kiss on her cheek. ☺️
The scene before that was one I always hoped would play out... Arnav, ever the opportunist, finds his wife close enough to him, and brings up his ever famous 'shart' knowing fully well the advantage he can have. But his equal, Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada is no less, gets as close to him as possible, and while he's lost in the moment, grabs the paper and ends the shart! 😆
Loved the possessive, passionate, and desirous hand around her waist and shoulder - both times, holding her securely, claiming her as his, and keeping her by his side (in his life). 😳
Here, relive the heart-thumping moments:

My favourite moment of the day
Khushi touching her cheek where Arnavji kissed her. Her face lit up with the most tender, blushing, lovely hint of smile before her countless painful experiences from the past intruded and snapped her back to reality.
The day isn't far when she realizes that, Arnavji's real Khushi is Khushi herself. Just like he is her 'Ocean' of Happiness.
Barun Sobti: Please get your hair cut, less gel, wash your face regularly (it looks oily), and please do change your shirt (I'm as fed up of it as your kidnapping special vest!) I'm glad Khushi didn't buy the baniyan in the end - I swear I'm done looking at them cause of you! 😡
Sanaya Irani: You just charm me with your smile! 😊
Abha Parmar: I love you as Buaji!! I loved the way you were so interested in the sad story that your adorable Daamadji was telling you! Cute pairing with Barun! 😃
Hey guys, I'm sorry I didn't update yesterday. Was whacked out after a long day, and was not able to string sense and words together. I may be off/on this week on... Will try and write short updates if possible.
Take care, and enjoy the show - relax your minds and watch it - really helps! Forget about future tracks and concentrate on the present. Thanks for your sweet, thoughtful 'Likes' and 'Comments'!! Hugss... 🤗
Lovey,
