Loved Friday's episode'😃 vintage ARHI at their best. You know what? I don't give a rat's ass about TRPs. East or west, IPKKND is the best!!!😆

Arnav Singh Raizada is on a mission; he wants his wife back. He wants Khushi Kumari Gupta ' (ooh!) Singh Raizada back! By hook or by crook!😈

To give him credit he did try the gentler route, but Khushi being Khushi was stubborn. So he decided to give her a shock, and it worked!!!😆 He got her attention. Boy! Was he thorough! He closed all avenues of help she might approach beforehand' Shukla by threatening to fire him, and Happy Ji by working on his emotions.

I was impressed by Arnav here'😃 he has come a long way here. Whereas before he would have dealt with both men by bribing or threatening them, now he has understood or rather Khushi has taught him that money is not the answer to all problems. He deals with Shukla by threatening his business; but at the same time he gives his reasons too- it is a quarrel between husband and wife. The previous ASR wouldn't have given him his reasons would he? As for Happy Singh, Arnav knows that his threats won't work' Happy cares for Khushi and is sincerely attached to her.😊 So he gives him the truth' Arnav wants his miffed with him at the moment wife back. And this is the only way she will come back to him. Happy Ji complies. Both Shukla and Happy are sad to disappoint Khushi but they comply with Arnav's wishes for her own good.

Next we see a smug Arnav, immersed in his work and his "Wife Alert" countdown' 3' 2' 1'

He hears the tinkling of her anklets and without even looking up, he greets her' "Hi!..."

Khushi comes to Laad Governor hesitantly. She starts stuttering'

"H' h'"

Arnav is enjoying himself' "Happy Singh?"' how is he?

OUCH! That still rankles, does it?

Khushi starts again' "K' k.."

Arnav continues to tease her. He is not about to let her off the hook that easy. Not so long ago he had trouble wishing her Happy Birthday and she had given him hell for that. Well' how does it feel, Mrs. Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada, when you are unable to voice words you have deep inhibitions about? Arnav is tickled pink she is on the receiving end right now.

She is still feisty despite all her woes' she takes him to task for enjoying her discomfiture'

"Bahut mazaa aa raha hai na aapko'"

He has an expression of almost childish glee on his face when he admits that yes, he is having fun.😆 Then he proceeds to give her some home truths:

1. He was doing his duty, he paid the rent, but she didn't let him' why was she so stubborn? Why burden herself with the weight of the world, when he was right there by her side to shoulder her worries? He wants to? Why not let him? Why keep him at a distance?

2. She accuses him of pride and of possessing an inflated ego' what about her? Isn't she as proud as he? Isn't she as egotistical?

3. She is angry at his inhibitions in verbally articulating his innermost feelings' what of her? Isn't she as reserved? As inhibited about letting him in? Why the boundaries between Arnav and Khushi? Aren't they one? Why does she feel uncomfortable about asking anything of him? Are not they one?

Then he says something which touches me no end' it was said with an air of mischief, defiance, impertinence even' he demands that she ask him. She has the right. He is hers. She is his wife.😃 He demands that she exercise her rights! Oh! ASR! You say it the ASR way what other men do with flowers and a bended knee'😳

But does she get it? No!😆

Here is her man, standing in front of her, who had just laid the world at her feet and the idiot that she is, she still hasn't realized it. Thinking from her side, you can't really blame her though. Her husband is one creature who can change from Rajkumar to Shaitan in the blink of an eye. She has been hurt before and she refuses to go down that way any more.

She tells him she wants not his help, but just money, for which she was willing to work for him for a month.

Ahhaa!!! ASR pats himself on his back'🤣 Arnav's Diwali, Christmas and Eid' all just merged into one and has come early' he is overjoyed! He has her where he wants her! 😆

And what confidence, man! He magnanimously reduces the term of service from one month to 24 hours'😆

Pretty sure of himself, isn't he? Hope you know what you are doing, son! But no matter; we are proud of you!!!👏

What follows is a set of the most loaded dialogues I have been privileged to hear on Indian TV.🤣

OMG! Bitwa is on a roll; and Bitiya follows through with some pearls of her own, though all in innocence, of course.🤣

Lekin isko itna keechte nahi

Toh kya kaam karwaaoon tumse

Kya kar sakti ho tum mere liye

And you time starts now (it was the tone and sexy whisper that did it this time)☺️

And from KKGSR

Aap humse kahaan kaam karwayenge🤣

And Garima too was on a roll. Poor Khushi!

Arnav comes to GH with the express purpose of giving Khushi a hard time. He teases her mercilessly. He wants her ' errr' services 😆' with a smile. The following scene was hilarious.

But here too, there was more to it than he let on. He remembers; yes, he remembers her taunting him that he can buy her expensive gifts, but couldn't buy her a smile. So he makes her smile as a part of the deal. He wants to see her smile. He can't stand her crying. But he doesn't mind her all riled up and angry' in fact, he gets a kick out of it. So he proceeds to do just that' (one more thing, whatever he has in mind for her is between the two of them, he might want some fun at her expense, but he will never make game of her in front of others' she is his wife, his angel, his source of light, his have of peace' and ' err' his complete entertainment package🤣)

Biwi nahi banna chahti, TV banne mein koi problem hai?🤣

God! This boy has a sense of humour!🤣 He proceeds to make use of his wife's famed nautanki skills for his private entertainment. And she is no less. She gives as good as she gets' takes pot shots at him; calls him some choice names, thinks wistfully of others she would like to call him but which upbringing and standards forbid her from uttering; dreams blissfully of various torture methods she could use on him'🤣 (Sanaya was brilliant here)

In the end things get serious. She twists her ankle. He rushes to her side only to be rebuffed. He overrides her protests and treats his wife to some Tender Loving Care. She is mollified a little bit.😃

Finally! Finally he gets it right! Phewww!!

He notices her payals and wonders whether she wears them always. She says yes, they belonged to her mother. He says he remembers, she had told him before'

Then comes the golden line'

"They are beautiful'"

And Khushi is floored'

What made Arnav call a pair of old, ordinary, tarnished inexpensive piece of jewellery beautiful? Were they really beautiful to look at? Did he just say it for the sake of it? Did he really think they were beautiful?

Yes, Arnav thought they were beautiful' not the anklets per say' but'

Khushi's love towards her dead mother, which makes her wear her anklets all the time, were beautiful.

The woman, long dead, who brought his precious wife into this world, would have been beautiful.

Khushi was beautiful, not just her face, her values, her upbringing, everything about her were beautiful.

Yes! Khushi is floored! And so are we'😊

Disclaimer: Fair warning people, todays post will be much much worse than my normal incoherence. Due to an overload of His Royal Highness's Hotness, a certain someone is stuck in a cotton candy bubble land and not coming out of it anytime soon. Ranju, Divs, Sathu, Shami... Kinjal Baniyaan...Ahem...who???? Friends I said that I neded to rewatch old episodes of IPK to remove those "chap gayi images in my DimmagWa" but lo and behold I got the precap. Somebody loves me very very much and has sent new images to replace those nightmares with the precap. I'm not a teenager anymore, left that claim 10 years ago but can I just say "OH... MY... GOD"...I saw...I heard... and *Thud*...*Faint*...I woke up drowning in my own puddle of drool...

As usual, for proper analysis please read Doods and Sathu.

"Let the games begin"...at work on a Saturday morning, watching the opening of the Olympic Games and writing this post, women and multitasking go hand in hand. And what game are we playing might you ask? Well its "How to woo your wife in 12 days ASR style" 😎

Today's post is brought to you from drool-land...Sapno Ki Duniya 😍 wherever we will be moping around stuck in a bubble like lovesick puppies beseeching for Monday to come. All of us will only survive this weekend on replay mode.

I won't go scene by scene...what's the point, we have all watched the episode multiple times already FFing the Anji part, right? Just some parts for the heck of it I suppose.

Khushi desperately trying to gather all her stashed away money to see how much she has saved up over the years behind SK posters, Me going...sweetheart, why waste time? We know you have to go back to ASR. Just go back already, my eyes are tarpaying for hottie's darshan...desperate much?😳 2 nanna-munna bachhas show up in the front door posing as tenants. Seriously, where do they find these extras? Gurgaon Balak Vidyalay?😕 Khushi tries to find a job and more importantly get an advance of 24000 from Shukla Ji and Happy Ji. Is it the same Happy Singh or like HP he has also had a facelift? Never really paid any attention to Happy Ji.🥱

Halleluiah!!! 👏 Looks like the famous Harvard Brain/ Shaatir Dimaag is finally making a comeback.😎 And Arnav knows his ladylove so well, no luck for Khushi. And a smug ASR waits at office for her to come running back with black Shirt, Shave, we are slowly getting there. Can't have everything in one go I suppose, just hoping for that haircut soon. A wonderful banter follows with ASR smirking, seriously, can these two get anymore cuter? She agrees to the deal of doing anything he asks for 24 hrs. I am sorry but my innocent soul immediately went to Gutterland. They have to sleep for 6-7 Hours right? So many possibilities 😳

They go to GH. Loved Garima teasing Arnav. They are at such a comfort level with each other. And these people have manners unlike the RM and actually leave these lovebirds alone. Although Garima giggling like a schoolgirl, taking a dig at fangirls are you CVs or is she happy that Sashi Babua is finally getting better and she will get some action too?😆 *Ducking from Chappals*

Nice of Arnav to call and check on Anji. Even if hormones are going haywire his brain isn't taking naps anymore.👍🏼 But what's with Anji wanting to pump Arnav with Kheer? 🤔What does she know that we don't or is the only thing that she can cook?

Ok I take my previous statement back...these two can get cuter. Arnav playing TV ya Biwi with Khushi and enjoying every moment of it, those beautiful, lovely smiles anticipating what she will do next (Sobti you are the king of expressions, I'm dying here ❤️). He has laid the ground rules and wants Khushi to call him just Arnav and wants her to be creative...hmmm, where or how Arnav?😳 Yeah yeah "Suhani La la" had to come back...Sathu we knew didn't we? But you know what, I don't even care today. Who would have thought the mighty ASR asking his wife to do Nautanki and actually enjoying it.😃

Arnav being a masseur...seriously is there anything this guy can't do? They remember Diwali 😍...and Arnav saying "I'm sorry I hurt you". Don't know about Khushi but at that moment I melted right then and there.☺️ Someone help me today. I can't remember being this mushy since the pre marriage episodes.

He lifted her again...how many lifts has it been now? Lost count...but Arnav does it with so much ease. Bushy was compalining about nobody lifting her. She reminded me of my one and only being lifted story. My dearest hubby had to lift me during our wedding ceremony. Its one of the rituals in our area. And the face he made while lifting me reminded me of the Olympic Weight Lifters while trying to break world record. I almost fell down trying to control my giggling. My hubby tries to deny it but I have pictorial proof.

And the fall...even that was done in style, so graciously.😍 Thank God Arnie baby...you are still our knight in shining armour...errrm Khushi's I mean.😳

Random Symbolism: Wasn't Khushi wearing this red tent before the Hut Atrocity?...ummm I mean Hut romance? So things happen whenever she wears this dress ha? 🤔 😳

I am even ignoring all the blooper and BD galore. But I do get very very irked when BD is trying to the ASR walk. Felt like shooting the guy on the spot.😡 And another thing, I think he has better shoes than ASR.😕

Precap: Well already said everything...And giving a warning to myself to keep expectations low. Yeah, right?.like it has ever worked before.😳 But Evil, Evil Sadistic CVs...you had to do it to us, didn't you? Weekend ka Satyanash.

So how will the scene play out?

Option 1: Arnav himself will stop. This is more likely as he is just trying to fluster Khushi (and us) and he is not going to test Buuaji's 30 yrs old bed by trying anything.☺️

Option 2: Ok, don't hit me but somehow Anjali turns up with the CD and Kheer at Buaji's house, sees that Buaji is well and more MU.

Option 3: This is Star Plus...SP Nuns anyone?🤓
