Don't you think that after the raksha bandhan episode, they have a good job at being consistent?

Hey guys!
Just a fleeting visit from me as I wanted to ask your opinion on something! Am I the only one who finds this Arnav a bit off? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE how he's doing all of this for Khushi, but I find his constant smile a bit unnerving. I guess it's because a part of me knows it won't last, but don't you guys too think there was no gradual build-up to this changed man? I'm not bashing, just curious.
Maybe that's the power of love...

Hey Riyya,

I agree with you...the trps are low.

They are trying to be consistent but have not yet managed to get the parallel balance right yet ...

The Main theme of marriage is going on without interruption but it is the subplots which keeps changing ..one day it is garima, another day, siblings, yet another day Shyam, then Anjali-shyam... so many chestnuts ..one finds it tedious which one to follow...

"Sometimes,reaching out and taking someone's hand is the beginning of a journey.
At other times, it is allowing another to take yours"

~ Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

The juvenile game of hide and seek continues between Garima and Dadi.. Once again with Devi Maiyya's blessings, Garima senses something is amiss.. She opens her eyes wondering what is wrong.. She turns around and sees dadi before dadi can see her.. and makes a run for it while dadi has her eyes closed.. The intrigue is building.. And it will soon reach the boiling point.. The truth about past is once again being stretched like a rubber.. It will reach its breaking point, if the audience are not made aware of at least the partial truth soon!

Khushi finishes her prayers and opens her eyes, looks towards where her amma was standing, only to see that she is not there any longer.. She looks around searching for her mother, and comes face to face with her current archenemy, DADI..

Another simple yet beautiful touch was when Khushi turns around looking for amma, instead seeing Dadi, we are shown a scene of ASR standing impatiently by his car.. He mutters Khushi almost at the same time she sees Dadi.. A beautiful way of telling us how he senses when she is going to get into trouble.. He will always be there to protect her from the evil clutches of dadi or whatever harm comes her way!

Her face registers shock at dadi's presence.. She is quick to recover and sees other members of the family and smiles.. She then goes around paying respect to the elders by touching their feet as expected out of a traditional Indian bahu with good values..

Khushi wonders why everyone is here.. Payal informs her that Arnav told that the Gupta family will be visiting mandir for the pooja so all of them decided to come and pay their respects and meet them..

For whatever reason they came to the temple, what I am liking about this scenario is how both side of families were present at the functions.. Firstly because Payal is Khushi's sister, so she should be a part of every single ceremony..Secondly, as Khushi is the one who is getting married but still wearing the sindoor and mangal sutra, similarly, Khushi has already been a part of the Raizada's family for 6 months now.. Its a beautiful way of showing that both families are doing rituals for her, as a daughter also..

We then see a Garima, making an escape when Khushi calls to find out about where she went.. She feeds another lame story to Khushi about the medicine and babu ji.. Khushi has no choice accept to believe what her mother is telling her..

During this whole scene of searching for Garima what stood out was bua ji's dialogue...

"pata nahi kahaan chali jaati hai, ain waqt pe"

Bua ji's dialogue, an indicator that Garima will keep escaping at the nick of time.. but how far and how long can Garima run.. If not today then tomorrow past is going to catch up to her in the name of Dadi, cos dadi will find her and bring out the truth/false of past out into the open so that she can stop the union of Arnav and Khushi...

What we need to see is will she be successful or will she escape dadi just in time to prevent repercussions of the past on her daughter's happiness.. What was interesting to me was, that garima wanted to tell Khushi about her past,, She did not mention that her past was linked with Khushi also.. So again we are left hanging, how much the past will affect Arnav-Khushi per se..

Dadi once again inquires about Garima, and her displeasure of not being able to meet her.. Taunting that maybe Garima does not want to meet her, to which bua ji tries to placate her.. Dadi then changes her target to Khushi and once again implicates her in planning to meet Arnav behind her back despite her clear instructions of not meeting before the marriage.. Nani attempts to show her the truth, that it was Arnav's decision to come.. Khushi did not force him..

Seriously, I don't understand from where this dadi is coming from.. Have you not seen your Grandson's determination in meeting his wife??? Are you blind to his obsession.. Mil nahi sakte.. Can't they even talk over the phone.. Informing your soon to be once again husband that you will be going to temple tomo has become a crime, is it? What Arnav does with that information, is his problem.. not hers..

The man by the car gets impatient and finally calls up his wife to inquire when will she be done with her prayers.. Only to be chastised for his actions and yet again being responsible for riling dadi and giving her the cause to be angry.. Arnav informs her that he doesn't give a hoot to what dadi thinks.. He will do as he pleases..

The Arnav-Khushi Temple scene

Khushi tells him that she will not fight with him on this auspicious day especially when she has come to ask Devi maiya's permission for her marriage to him.. He doesnt get her beliefs once more, but when she tells him that this is also a ritual he lets it go..

Now that he has promised to fulfill all the rituals of the marriage, how can he let this one go?? A wonderful scene with the implication.. Last time he married her.. He ridiculed her beliefs in front of devi maiya.. He made her his wife without asking for permission from a single soul..

This time, he is honouring every single belief of hers.. Fighting with everyone for her hand in marriage.. and last but not the least seeking permission from the deity to wed her properly this time and give her the respect and position of being his wife!

Everyone is shocked to see Arnav walking up the stairs of the temple of his own accord!

Arnav asks its a ritual, right? that is why he has come.. No reason to be so alarmed! He says kul..

Khushi notices his uncertainity and rushes forward to correct him.. Smiles at the gesture..

Nani invites both of them in.. What followed was easily the sweetest scene..

Arnav looks at what Khushi is doing.. He folds his hand in namaste as she shows him, closes his eyes.. Opens them after a second and looks at her.. Her face breaks into a smile as if almost sensing his gaze upon her.. He breaks into an answering smile.. and what a heart touching smile of joy! It was such a poignant moment between the two of them.. He closes his eyes, and she opens hers, looks at his smile and her heart overflows with love and happiness for this man!

She looks at her mother and tells her, Arnav Singh Raizada in a temple, it has also become a reality.. But she does realise that this was only for her and because of her.. He is merely respecting her faiths and beliefs.. nothing more and nothing less... She prays to DM to maintain her blessings on him..

He tries to learn the things which he never considered learning till now.. He sees her and copes everything she does.. Asks her, now do they have permission to marry? tum khush ho?? Cos that is all that matters to him..

Payal reminds Khushi that Arnav did this only for her, Khushi thinks that he is doing so many things for her, she should also do something for him.. She looks at him, smiles and walks..

Trust me.. For a second I thought she was going to complete the kiss that the poor chap has missed so many times.. I was like what the...😲

And I am sure I am not the only one who thought that.. U know I am talking to u..😉

Khushi and Arnav have started on their journey together.. I love the way their hand holding is shown.. Khushi's hand in between Arnav's.. For me it symbolises the love, cherish and care he will bestow on her, holding her dear!

Khushi reminds Arnav of the incidence when he bought all the pigeons for the little girl who wanted to wish for her father's well being.. He is surprised to know that she saw it..

2 things here.. it was the first time she saw Arnav in a different light.. She realised that he was more than jus laad governer.. He had a softer caring side..

Last time after that scene, Khushi told Arnav about her parents and her fears.. This time what the recounting of that incidence will bring is yet to be seen!

They reach the car.. where dadi is once again making hue and cry about garima.. Loved ASR's reaction here.. He totally ignored her!!😆 today dadi reminded me off the story, the boy who cried wolf, for some odd reason.. She has shown so much displeasure about not meeting Garima, that whenever she does meet her and creates an issue about it, it will be ineffectual!

Anjali and Shyam and their secret rendezvous

We see Anjali giving HP the day off after finding out that everyone is outside home.. Next scene we have Anjali making tea for herself and one more person! No guesses who! 😕

We all were aware that Anji was meeting Shyam behind everyone's back.. It was no shocker when his bracelet came into frame, followed by his bloated self! And the FB's were totally useless..

Shyam has managed to convince Anjali that what Arnav has is only a huge misunderstanding.. He is once again back to his manipulative self.. Telling her that why did she ask him to come when no one was around? Tell me Shyam ji if you are such a brave heart then why did you not come yourself when everyone was present? After all as you said, she is your wife.. you have full right to meet her..

Dood's title "Shoonya" made me think of only one thing.. Shoonya buddhi in Anjali!

She is once again willingly becoming the pawn in his hands.. Once again letting him manipulate her for his interests.. She will fall hard this time.. She is clueless about what she is getting into..

But it will be sad to see that she will alienate the most important person and the person for whom she is the world, the person who has always thought of her happiness first in the process..When Arnav comes to know about this, his rose tinted glasses where his sister is concerned will break.. He will not be able to forgive her for this betrayal.. well of course Arnav is partly at fault himself, but none the less he will see this as the worst betrayal!!

Some other Pointers!

1. Humaari mulaakaat Aapki masi se ho na ho, aapki mulaakat Arnav bituwa se zaroor hogi, aur iska intezaam aap ne khud kiya hai... Me thinks.. that it will be Khushi who will overcome her barriers of past and unite with Arnav..

2. Mami's sentence, that no one can fool dadi ji.. reminded me of a similar claim by bua ji about Shyam.. So dadi ji will be fooled by Shyam.. It will serve her right.. The way she looks at others as if they are dirt, is simply hateful!

3. Mami and Khushi's expression on Arnav's entry were too good! they looked at him like dodo birds.. tukur tukur..😆

4. Why did Shyam want to meet Anji at RM only?? Is he trying to prove a point to Arnav?? That he has been meeting his sister right under his nose?😡

Enough jabbering!

Love

Kopal
