An apparent breezier episode after the intense one yesterday ...but. And if you know your IPK CVs well, "but"s always come with their own baggage.
It's Rakshabandhan at RM. The backdrop leading to the festival is surreal. Last year Arnav 'forced' a reluctant Khushi to come back to RM on Di's demand. This year also he convinced Khushi to come back to RM but the Di-Khushi equation is completely changed.
Khushi reaches out for Di , bringing a rakshadhaaga for protection of Di and her unborn child and offers to tie it on her. But her offer is politely rejected and comes with a wish that Di gets to spend more time with her Chotey. A message which doesn't go unnoticed, as Khushi's smile is wiped out. The "but" moment #1.
Khushi ,being who she is, starts seeking ways to bring the elusive smile on Arnav's Di. She, through her ever helping sakha Nanheji, convinces Arnav to wear one of Anjali's gifts of Kurta Pajama as she knows from previous instance (Btw if I remember correctly Khushi had heard that brother siser exchange during Janmashtami , but seemed like this was a different occasion...an editing blooper?) that is one of Anjali's wishes to see her Chotey in Kurta Pajama.
Anjali was beside herself with happiness on realization of the special efforts her family has gone through to make the day special for her: by decorating the mandir with flowers, and biggest surprise of watching Chotey come down the stairs in Kurta Pajama. Something struck me today during the episode, that Anjali always makes it so much about "humare": Humare Chotey, humare baat (saaNse rukh jayegi exchange between bro and sis after the satsang 'debacle'), humare diya hua Kurta and last but not the least humare woh. Is it just a harmless adaat or a bit of narcissism with far-reaching consequence?

A beautiful rakhi tying sequence follows where the love between the brother and sister is palpable and Arnav reiterates the fact that with Di there, mother's absence is not felt. The background score just enhances the heartwarming moment as a lingering backdrop.
Arnav is shown throughout the episode talking about surprise for Di, jewellery for Di, talking to Aman about packages and then showing relief on seeing HP with three gift bags. Makes you curious what's in those bags.
Well I kept my fangirling in check till he starts fidgeting in the Kurta Pajama and asks HP to send Khushi. He has guessed from Khushi's over-enthusiastic "Nanheji!!" declaration that it is really she who has conspired with NK to get him in ethnic clothes. I don't think Mr Raizada will let his wife go 'unpunished' for pulling the trick on him...going by his 12 day plan of getting up-close and personal with Mrs Raizada till he gets her where he wants. I hope the CVs will not do ramanchi with us poor souls again.
Meanwhile Khushi the lone ranger, investigator is about to probably discover who Anjali's mysterious caller is. The "but " moment # 2.
Highlight:
Wow!...finally a day where the Raizada family looked "rich" and beautiful. Sanaya was beautiful in the orange saree. Akshay and Karan looking handsome in their ethnic wear.
But amidst all the beautiful colors, one elegant white Kurta Pajama was pure vision in white. Reminded me of delectable white chocolate: decadent and divine! And this I came up after several clinical viewing of the episode. All for pure analysis purpose.
Thanks Shweta for the beautiful pics!
Since childhood one song always resonates with me as a quitessential brother sister song , same as the Crooner title :
