Hmmm let's see.. He is a person who never backs down... And so is she..

He wants to wear her down.. Break her defenses...

My two cents

Sometimes words can wound the heart. Cause damage that more words cannot repair. In times like these actions speak louder than words. That is the need of the hour. ASR understands that. He has already told her he loves her, he has already told her he wants her back. Khushi has no doubt about his love for her as well. Sometimes though, love is not enough. She is too wounded to go back to him on a mere sorry. She has been hurt once too many times. She is protecting her heart.

Plus there is the problem of Anji. Though Arnav doesnt think anji is a problem between them Khushi does not know that. Arnav can sense that Khushi wont go back with him on mere assurances. He lost that chance already. Now he is just trying to show her through his actions.

I agree it is a rather circumspect way of handling things. Very roundabout but its acheiving some goals. The viewers as well as Khushi are in the dark regarding his actual plans for GH. At the beginning of the 24 hr deal Khushi was full of apprehension but at the end of it she actually thought laad governor is not that bad after all. I suspect the current GH fiasco will resolve with similar if not better result. Just have to be patient. Like Arnav's being patient with Khushi. 😉 😉 😉

Hola everyone 🤗

Before I start off I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart who likes what I write. I came back after so much time - and still I was loved, welcomed and appreciated back. Thank you so much guys it means a lot to me!! I read all the comments - and I cannot even say the big smile that I have plastered on my face every time I read it. Thank you so much!!! 🤗🤗🤗 More so a heartfelt thanks from every REDUXIAN to all their readers. We are here because of you and only for you and also to share and read what you have got to say. We may agree - disagree - fight (I do that a lot 😆 ) but we still come back the next day and have the same thing over and again with a bounty full of enthusiasm. Thank you readers and fellow writers for making what REDUX is today! 👏 👏

Now coming to the episode - I did not watch it 😆 😆 But from what my sources tell me that ASR ne baja di Khushi ki and that has bought the forum going bonkers! I trust my fellow reduxians to cover everything so since I did not watch it - I will be giving a third eye view to it.

- Arnav coming in from the window and putting Khushi to sleep and then sleeping by his side to provide her comfort and safety must have been awwwable. Her holding on to him - she does not want anyone in her life - except him and whatever she may say - she will always hold on to him.

- Similarly Arnav holding on to Khushi - He wont let her go and he will keep fighting for her till she gives in. He will resort to any way that makes her come back to him and he will do it because he knows she will react to all his actions.More so Arnav holding Khushi's hand - is something that even Khushi has noticed time and again - she even pointed that out to him today - so maybe this will help her realize her importance in his life

- The office scene - Khushi almost accepting her marriage to wade off the "unknown" developer but if only she knew Arnav Singh Raizada knows how to create hungama 😆 😆 I have heard that Arnav smirks and smiles and tolerant jibes at Khushi were adorable and funny - I have not watched but if my girls liked it - so I liked it 😛 Man the patience this man has with this woman. 😆

- Oh dear! Did I hear Arnav SIngh Raizada beat a man hard on the cheeks because he called his wife an "item"!?? 😲 Damn you Khushi - wish you had been there to witness the rage the man has when someone has any unholy thought about you 😆 😆

- So Khushi got a lecture from her mom and bua to go back to her sasural?1 😆 😆 It was so long due! 🥱 Thank god it came and the creatives realized that a married woman sitting at home in a lower middle class family is not always looked up upon. Even though I know madame will not leave. 😆

- ASR crossed the line with the electricty and the water?! 😲 Wohaaa! Dude - your wife is gonna explode much sooner than you think. 😆 You are the limits at times. But I will say I love this limitless ASR so much more than the puppy dog one. Go ahead baby 😉


So this was Anna special today after hearing about the episode from her girls. Obviously Barun must have been fab as usual 😛 and I heard SI was good too 😛 Did not watch the episode - but I guess I have highlighted everything I could.

Love and Light
Anna :)

P.S Good news for all my redux fellow members - Anna has got her student VISA to London 🥳🥳🥳

Anna was missing ur posts\\thanks for this one though you haven't watched epi

And congrats for visa👏😃

Well after how he wanted to give the rent in the first place.. And he told her that bua ji and the home meant something for him too.. I am sure she was pretty sure he will not harm them in any way...

Plus after the heer ranjha sequence.. When she provokes him to let her go if he hates her so much.. He was not able to.. Maybe that's why she is sure he won't harm..

...but see, I was just thinking, Khushi could also use his strengths against him. Especially is she remains defensive, but for that, she needs to remain ahead of the game and utilise more of her dimaag - mind you, the fact that she told ASR to go right ahead was a step in the right direction, but how did she reach that conclusion?? Has she figured and latched onto the fact that ASR would NEVER jeopardize her family for the sake of his pursuits...

Does Khushi think??Look ASR and Khushi both are impulsive...But ASR being powerful knows how to mend a situation and coupled with his Harvard brain he knows how to put things in the right place...whereas Khushi is extremely emotional and as ASR is playing his cards this time in the cleverest way possible...It's impossible for Khushi to go ahead of him...

I have an inkling..maybe today we'll see ASR binding Khushi to another contract...saying she has to come to RM with him at least for today...to help him with Rakhi preparations...😕

Another contract, may be asr can do anything. Yeah otherwise how come she would come to RM.

Another inkling that she might come as its for anji on condition that after that she wil return

Hai..hai! Anyone here...!
So, my intelligent questionwa aftr watching 'olympicswa'...

Is 'IPK' paying a tribute to 'olympics' making 'Kushi' their 'mascot'...? Seriously that dress symbolises 'all the colours frm Olympic rings'... N a heavy make up... For a scene where she has to be 'desperate, angry n what not'...

So, stylists when r u giving 'the fencing' avthar of Kushi, a 'white anarkali with OTT accessories wil do'😉

oh mere saajan, mere saajan.

saajan saajan, mere saajan.

I am in a dreamland, a wonderland, a place which makes me utterly happy coz its filled with love..Arshi love...and I am floating! Needless to say I loved the epi today. The first 5 minutes were absolutely magical. I was "awwing" and "Ooing" the whole time.

When I watched the first 5 minutes, I was trying to think from Arnav- khushi's POV. Not as a viewer but as if I was Arnav and I was khushi. Hence this "weird" post today from first person POV. Today I am not doing the segment wise analysis but character wise. Please bear with me.

The Diary of Arnav Singh Raizada:

Khushi doesnt let me sleep so I have to come at her house and "order" her to sleep. I keep forgetting she is the Sanka devi who is my equal in all aspects.How can I forget this, I ask myself? My mistake. Now if she will sleep, so will I. I tell her to doze off and the minute she closes her eyes, she is in deep slumber.

What the, I try to wake her up but she is sleeping in peace. I cant disturb her now so its on me to clean up the mess that is there in the house. I dont mind doing this as this is as much as my house as khushi's. I pick her up so that I can put her to sleep on the bed.

While doing that, she holds my collar..again..😃 Though I cant complain about this as I love it when she does that. I look at her and remove her hand from my collar. I am about to tuck her in when she holds my hand and holds it under her cheek.She is sleeping with such serenity around her that I feel blessed somehow.

I like my hand in her hand, I love the touch, the feel. And I let it be. I dont want to disturb her so I slide down besides her on the bed to go to sleep. As I watch her sleep, there is this strange feeling of satisfaction that takes over me. This is what I want to do my whole life, just watch her going to sleep.I hold her other hand with a promise of not letting her go ever, of always being with her for life.Now I am content, happy, blessed and can also doze off in my slumber!

The minute I open my eyes, I see her. Its such a lovely sight to my eyes, its soothes my soul, fills my heart with pleasure. Her hand is now clutching my neck and she is literally hugging me with her leg over my leg. I wonder why she always sleeps in this "Taekwondo pose" in GH. In our home, at RM, she doesn't sleep like that. I am just thinking about this and as if she hears my question, she is awake. She sees me and sees her hand on my neck and gets up in shock. I ask her the question that is there in my mind, she responds saying its her habit.

She asks me why I am troubled by that and I wish to tell her that I am not. But before I can say, she asks me why do I complain when she doesnt mind when I hold her hand while sleeping. Of course, that's not true!! I vehemently deny it and suddenly she lifts her hands and I see my hand tightly holding onto hers. I never realized that I do this. I wonder, if this has become my habit now. Ah! This delights me. I tell her the same about this habit and I can see she is a little flustered.

I am telling her clearly with my eyes that this habit is a one which will stay for lifetime. Every night when I will sleep from here on, I will hold her hand and then sleep because that is what I want to do rest of our lives.She is understanding but not acknowledging it. Not yet. Ok, no problem.I have lots of patience to make her say the words. I am waiting.

I have purchased her house and it will pave the way for her entering our home. I had no other choice, I had to do it. As of now, she still doesnt know it. I have told my assistant to tell her about my condition. I know she will come barging in now as she is a righteous woman. A "stranger" asking her to come to his house, will not go down well with my virtuous wife 😃

Ah! She barges in and I reveal my face to her. After I ask the rest of the board members to leave, I tell her my "condition". I am sure she will fight with me for this and thats the thing I love about her. My fiery, feisty khushi. And as I suspected, she is behaving exactly like that. As I tell her I will demolish her house if she doesn't agree to the deal, she refuses me point blank and declares that like me she makes her own destiny! Boy, do I feel proud of her.

She is not done yet, she makes a mess of my office just to wipe that smile of my face..the same way I will always clean her mess just to see the smile on her face. We are definitely soulmates 😊.

After throwing the papers on my face, as she is ready to leave, her dupatta gets stuck in the printer and she thinks its me. Not yet, not today. She turns fuming at me but I just look at her and tell her its not me this time. I could have let it go, not rub it in but how I love a totally riled and rattled khushi. So I just tease her about the last time she thought the same and threw the hot cup of tea on me.As expected, she gets more annoyed, little ruffled and I being the perfect gentleman, open the door for her to go. And she storms out. I look at her and remember that she just refused my offer, challenged me and left my office in a fury. At some other time, this would have angered me but now it leaves me a happy and satisfied man.

But wait, whats that. A guy dares to talk about "My wife" like that? calls her an "Item"? what the hell is that? How dare he? How dare he speak about khushi like that, call her that. I will rip him off. I storm out to "see" the guy. Even though the only thing that I want to do is to shred him into pieces,yet I just slap him and tell him who the lady was. I declare in front of all that she is Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada, my wife, my woman! I threaten him never ever to speak about my wife like that.I even warned him never to speak about any another woman like that, coz I hate men who don't respect women!

I have cut off the water supply, electricity of the GH house for the time being. She will connect the dots soon and curse me. Till then, I need to plan my another move to win her back. Although I know what I am doing is angering her and she thinks I am so cruel but I have to do this so that she comes back to me for ever. For I cant live without her as she is the light of my life.

But I also know that its her anger which will make her confess about her feelings for me, make her say the reason that she is not coming back and I am waiting for that. Once she acknowledges her love for me, She will be mine for ever.

The Diary of Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada:

I will not let that Laad governor sleep. He wants to trouble me, fine. I will trouble him more. Oh! He literally scared me to death!! What is he doing here? why? so he is aking me to sleep now? huh? See, I showed him I am no less. He has to bite back his words and "order" me to sleep.I am happy to oblige. I win this round 😃

I open my eyes and the first thing I see is him. What is he doing here? On the bed? Besides me? and why is my hand on his neck? I am feeling nervous and muddled. His nearness flusters me and my heart beat increases. I am just about to go away and he asks me a strange question. Why do I sleep like that? What does he mean by that question?

I sleep like that because I like to sleep like that. I tell its my habit. So what,if I sleep like that, even he is not perfect. I ask him why he always hold my hands while sleeping , a fact which he denies. Of course, he will not agree to it, the laad governor. But oh, this is exciting. I lift my hand and show him that my hand is clasped in his. Ah! See? now can you see MR ASR that what I told is correct. 😊

I love this feeling of victory, he has to concede now what I said is correct. I am waiting for that but what he says fills me with I-dont-wanna-name-it emotions. He says this is his habit. What does he mean by that?

I dont want to read between the lines, I dont want to see what his eyes are telling me, I don't want to hear what he is trying to speak. How can I? How can I let emotions overtake my resolve to stay away from him. When he looks at me like that, I get nervous as well as excited at the same time. I feel I am the only one whom he has ever looked at like that. This strange feeling emerges in my heart and all I want to do is respond to it. But I cant. How much ever I want to do it, I can't. So I have to go away from him at that moment, break the spell which always compels me towards him.

I ask him the question of what is he doing there. He says that I didnt let him go and that's the reason he stayed back. I? Oh! Why did I do that? I didnt let him go? Subconsciously I do, what my heart want to do always. But I cant.

Thankfully, he says he has to go but not before reminding me that 24hrs are not up. He asks me to sleep and he goes. Sometimes I don't understand. The whole night he keeps me awake and in the morning he asks me to sleep. I try to keep my emotions in check and sleep.

His phone wakes me up and he asks me to open the door as still 3 minutes are left. I dont get it why I have to do it but he orders me to. The driver hands me the bundle which has 24000 Rs. Ah! I am feeling so happy about this. This is my money, money that I have earned with my hard work.I didnt let that laad governor win. I tell him this on the phone and he disconnects the call.

Nevertheless, I am glad the rent problem is solved now and this even prompts me to think that laad governor is not so bad after all.

Just then, Mr shuklaji calls me and inform that the rent has increased and we have to pay the rent today. How is that possible? How can the new owner just increase the rent without any intimation. I decide to go and talk to him.

I go to the owner's office and ask the secretary to let me speak to her boss. I wait and wait and she hesitantly informs me that it all depends on me.The guy has put a condition that if I go to his house with him, he will reduce the rent. What? the nerve of the guy? How Dare he say this? What does he think of me? I will show the swine his place. The girl is nervous and apologetic and I guess being a woman, she understood my predicament . But its not her fault. She is just giving the mesage to me. The fault lies with that swine who dared to say this.

I barge in his office and ready to give him a piece of my mind when to my utter shock it is none other that Arnavji. How come he is here? He is the boss? He bought the place where buaji is staying? And he is putting this condition again?I am fuming. As his board members leave, I ask him what exactly he wants to prove by all this.He calmly replies that he has given me an offer I cant refuse.

I dont understand why is he doing this. Everything will be fine in few days as I wont be Mrs ASR anymore and I dont have to go to RM.I try to make him see this but he is adamant on the "condition".

If he is stubborn, then so am I. I refuse to go. He says he will demolish the house and bring my family on roads. How can he say this? How dare he say this? I will not let him. I tell him I wont back down. I am seething in anger and challange him to do whatever he feels like. He interrupts me and I put him in his place telling him that I make my own destiny now. For some reason beyond my comprehension, the man finds it funny and smiles.

I see red now. His smile angers me to the boiling point and I decide to smash everything in his office, create a mess everywhere just to stop him from smiling. I do that and feel a little better.

As I proceed to leave, my duppata is caught. What the, how dare he do this again! what does he think of himself!! I am all ready to burst at him when he shakes his head and points towards the printer which has caught my dupatta!

But that man will not just back off, will he?? He teases me about that day when I threw tea over him!Just look at him, reminding me of that at this moment. I wont take it. I free my dupatta and storm out of his office.

Now I am even dreaming about this. Or rather getting nightmares. But I will also see how he does that! How he will break this house!!. I dont think so he will do anything. No, he won't, he can't.

Its 7 and there is no water at our home. Thats strange as it should be available till 10. Anyways, everyone is taking babuji for checkup! As they are leaving, buaji and Amma insist on me starting to pack my bags so that I can go back to RM. They say its not good for a married woman to stay at her "maika" for these many days.

How can I tell them that I have come here never to go again, I have left that home, Arnavji for ever and in few days this contract will also get over. I decide to not let this bother me now. I tell them to talk about this later and they leave.

I think, maybe there is some news about this water shortage. But, the minute I switch on the TV, the power goes away. I go out to fix that and Vimla mausi informs me that in her house there is both water and power. I am perplexed. How come, its only not there at our place. And then like a flash of lightening, it hits me. The Man! Mr Arnav Singh Raizada. He has done this? He? what does he think of himself? How can he fall to this level? If he is Mr Arnav Singh Raizada, I am also Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada and I will also not let him win this. Common Mr Raizada, we will see who has the last laugh!

The tiny diary of Anjali Shyaam Manohar Jhaa:

HP tells me chotte has stayed overnight at Buaji's house. But he came last night to have tea. I dont know what to make of that. **Actually this is me, who doesn't know what to make of that😆*.

I am making raakhi for my brothers the same way I make every year. Nani reminds me that i have yet to take the last year's rakhi gift from Chotte. She asks me to demand two gifts this time. I remember last year rakhshabandhan, the moment I tied rakhi on his hand, the contentment I felt doing that and seeing the smile on his face.

I tell nani that the only thing I want as a gift from him is for him to stay with me always. That is what I always want.

Just then NK bhai makes an appearance. He is funny with his hindi and fumbling. I cant help but smile at his antics. Nani is happy to see me smile.

But just then, my phone rings. Oh! I cannot pick up this call now. NK and nani are looking at me expecting me to receive it. How can I tell them who is calling? I cant take this in front of them. I am feeling little nervous, jittery and I have to lie.

Although I have succeeded now but till when can I hide it. What will I do when one day this will be revealed? What will I do?

******************************************************************************

Ok, I know this is way over the top but I just had to do this today. Esp the Arnav-khushi part because I was feeling all those emotions while watching them! I guess, I have not really analysed anything today. Just put the "what haappend" in 3 different POV😆. But I leave all this difficult job to the experts here!

Just to need to add one more thing here:

Barun Sobti: I am a total diwani of your acting! Today's epi belonged to you. You live and breathe ASR . No one can walk, act, enact and react the way you do! I am completely floored!!

Sanaya Irani: you were perfect as the furious, flustered wife who will not back off without showing hell to her husband first. You were fabulous today!

Love, Sumi
