The Most Important ingredient We put into any relationship is not What We Say or What We Do, but WHAT WE ARE. Stephen R Covey
Garima: A mother who brought up two daughters
She stands really tall today. We've already understood from Dood's post that Payal is Shashi ji's daughter and not Garima's. Today, Buaji officially disclosed this piece of information. Truly, I'm in awe at the depth of this character; the sacrifices she's made for her children are beyond compare. She's not the biological mother, but that doesn't seem to make any difference to her. She gave herself completely just as though they are her own. They say blood is thicker than water, but did Garima show any difference in the upbringing of Payal or Khushi? None at all. She followed her dharma to a T. No wonder Buaji loves her like her own sister and shashi ji trusts her so much.
In telugu, there's a saying 'Kanna prema kanna, penchina prema goppadi' (love of a mother who brings up a child and teaches values is truly greater than the love of a mother who gives birth to a child) ... so sorry, I'm not really good at translations. This definitely applies to Garima. When Buaji said to Garima that I'll always support you and you'll be rewarded for your good deeds, the following verse came to my mind.
Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah (Manusmriti , Ch. 8, verse 15)
One who protects Dharma (follows the way of righteousness) is protected by Dharma
Garima is true follower of dharma, expects nothing in return. Is there any doubt that she'll be protected by Dharma itself? I truly admire the courage of this woman who knows the trouble she'll get into with dadi ji, but she's more than willing to face her, beg or if necessary go down on knees to ask for forgiveness for what she did in the past. She'll go to any extent for her daughter's happiness. Do we need to say more about her?
Anjali: An expectant mother
I'm generally a peace lover, but the last few weeks, I really felt like whacking Anjali on the head and was tired of her constant crying and back stabbing of her brother. When I saw her talking to her baby during the goad bharai, I really felt for her. I'm not trying to change anybody's opinion with my ideas (who knows I may not even be sympathetic to her tomorrow), but just sharing some of my thoughts, so please bear with me.
Every woman cherishes a dream of being a mother and so did Anjali. When she's about to realize her dreams and is getting ready to welcome a nanhi baby into her world and looking forward to all those things an expecting mother looks forward to, her whole world came collapsing down. So many allegations were laid at her husband's door, the same husband who treated her and continues to treat her lovingly. She doesn't know whom to believe anymore.
At a time when she should be at peace, she's constantly in distress; at a time when she needs her husband by her side trying to be part of what she's going through, he's missing, not only that, he was insulted and thrown out; at a time when she should be happy, she's extremely sad; at a time when she needs to be cheerful, she's tearful. Is there any hope in her life? Yes, she's looking forward to her baby's arrival. But she feels terribly lonely without her husband by her side; this emptiness, nobody can fill. Her mind is showing her only one picture and that is of Shyam missing from her life and that's all she's able to see.
Krishna the Charioteer - I remember someone telling me the significance of Krishna as the Charioteer. The charioteer represents the driver of our lives and the horses represent our senses. If the mind is placed as the charioteer, it is bound to lead us astray because the mind is colored with so many things. However, if the heart or inner self is the charioteer, the horses will be driven on the right path and the senses will be on track and work as needed. Now that I think about it, this is exactly what Arnav went through with Khushi; his mind was constantly replaying the record of what he saw on the terrace and he was a torn person. The moment he started listening to his heart (let it be the driver), the whole picture was wiped out and he's now a changed person. The same needs to happen to Anjali as well; it's just a matter of time. Something or someone needs to override this picture completely and only then will she be able to get out of this trance she's currently in. Shall we wait and see what happens?
To me it was a very decent episode where there was some movement.
Things that I liked:
1) All this time, Garima was trying to run away from dadi; well that won't solve the problem, right? Today she took a huge step forward to face the music.
2) Several had doubts if Payal was Garima's daughter and this was clarified today. No more speculation.
3) One camera down, 2 more to go, phewww what a relief.
4) At last we see ASR's brain working. Please wake up his grey cells some more.
5) Loved how Arnav tricked NK into thinking a girl was calling for him; the conversation between NK and Buaji was very entertaining. 'Meri hindi bhi bahut bahut machi hain'. When he finally tries to guess where he heard buaji's voice and has the FB, the heart attack coming on and his shout were too funny. Naughty Arnav indeed. Hats off to the dialog writers and to Karan Goddwani for keeping us continually entertained.👏👏
WHY OH WHY:
1) I think the dress designer needs to take a very serious look at the lead pair and come up with better ideas. The jodhpurs didn't suit Arnav at all. His previous sherwani was so much better.
2) Can we have some consistency here please? One day the episode is mind blowing and next day it just seems to fall flat completely and third day it's just ok. Yes, we do understand there will be ups and downs, but some balance is needed, right?
I have to admit I had my doubts about this episode believing too much focus would be on the godh bharai but I was wrong. CVs deserve credit for managing to balance multiple tracks at once, there was plenty going on today but with decent execution the episode worked despite the annoying slow motion shots
I'm now even more convinced CVs read this forum for much of what we talk about is written into the show. I was happy to see the security issue addressed, though Shyam is still sneaking around at least Arnav realizes something is not right and is taking precautions to protect his family. Unfortunately he has no idea Shyam has already made his move.
The scene with Garima and Bua was beautifully done and cleared any doubts about whether Garima was Payal's biological mother or not. Garima did not give birth to either of her daughters but not once did she let them feel the loss of a mother's love, she's been there for them and will continue to do so which is why she faced her fears and attempted to come face to face with Dadi but DM has other plans..
Khushi arrives at RM looking for her prince, Arnav senses her presence and is just mesmerized by his wife who looks gorgeous. NK is left wondering just how Arnav knew Khushi arrived but Khushi answers for him, he just knows. The tease that followed was cute
The bromance scene was a winner for me especially since it finally included Akash!! NK wants to watch a horror film but obviously Akash and Arnav have other ideas in mind. While I found the phone call to be adorable especially with Khushi getting a chance to pull Arnav's leg as he has done to her, one would think he wouldn't waste a call when he could've gone downstairs and sneaked Khushi away like the many times he's done in the past. He could've done so even after the call, maybe that was his intention when coming downstairs who knows?
Bua and NK's phone conversation was hilarious! It was one of the highlights for me, it added some humor without looking forced or being distasteful like the ones attempted with Manorama's character in the past. NK and Bua are a jodi of a different kind and I love their scenes!
So the godh bharai gets underway and though thankfully short, one could not help but be distracted by Anjali who was way too overdressed. What was the need to have her look like a bride?? Her look earlier in the episode was beautiful, she looked great and then GB gets underway and it was too OTT.
Looks like ASR is back and ready for another face off with Dadi who uses those gossiping women as ammunition to fill a naive Nani's mind but ASR will have none of it. It looks like it was intentional by the CVs to not have the Guptas know beforehand about Shyam, now that Garima does how will it impact her decision?? She can't run forever but to protect her daughters she would do anything, earlier it was begging and now???
SHWETHA'S SCORCHER's
*Note this Post is written by Shwetha, Please address all ur remarks to her, In case U wish to PM her , her ID is Shwetha! *
Looks like the IPK Team went Back to basics, and it worked spectacularly today👍🏼🥳
Arshad Khan are you back from your break? lag to raha hai 😃👏
(Oh if I am wrong, Amanji sorry. Waisay I am sure I will be greeted with an off screen pic tomorrow as to who directed the epi😉)
EVERYONE looked Good today
Arnav, Akash, NK & Shyam Bhago Singh, Payal, Mami, Nani, Dadi, Anjali, Buaji, Garima and saving the best for the last, Khushi. Wardrobe walay bhaiyya & maiyya aisay hi apni kripa banakar Rakhna.😳
Now it looks like there is a marriage happening. 🥳
Dunno hoga ki nahin, but atleast the shaadi ka atmosphere was there today.😆 Budget walay Bhaiyya and Maiyya aisay hi kripa karna.😳
Rabba vey & Gushht of Wind: Welcome back, good to see a RV happening without any TFC and that too a RV minus the Kyon dard hai version.
Bromance:
Yippeee, Happened.
Continue Pleej. 👍🏼
Dialogue walay 2 Bhaiyya, aprni kripa sab par and especially Akash bitwa par banakar rakhna.😳 Granted as usual he got the least dialogues in true IPK tradition😕, BUT HE GOT MORE THAN HP, Yipppeee!!!🥳
Okay seriously, these are the moments that make a show memorable. ⭐️
The teasing, the fun, the bromance. Dil maangay MORE.
IF you are ever stuck for a stopgap scene, Bromance is your best bet!!😎
Why isn't NK talking about any Kunwara aka Bachelor's party? *Hint Hint*😉
Bas ek exclusive scene with Akash and Arnav toh banta hai boss!!
Oh just to be clear, Bromance simply means a scene with the three bros..IT DOES NOT mean NK has to drag Arnav by hand just as Arnav used to do with Khushi. 😳🤔😆
'
Behna Bonding -
Awww, sooo sweet, continue pleej, dil maangay more!!👍🏼
Bua's Dialogue to Garima:
A gentle reminder of the past and also underlining Garima's character, bravo (Doodz, Sathu, was thinking of you two!)👏
Finally Garima decides to face Dadi. 👏
Garima trying to meet Dadi reminded me of Khushi trying to avoid ASR during Anjali's anniversary party last year...You know the way they kept missing seeing each other.🤔😆
Dadi + Garima + Gusht of Wind = GaDbaD-wa Vey!!😆
Taar & Dhaar = Point noted!😃
Isn't it a wonderful sight to see Shyam's plan fail so consistently😆, EPIC moment when he removed one CCTV camera, I am sure by the time this Narnia Day in IPK land ends, all CCTV camera will be removed by Shyam himself.😆
Oh and a nice touch to see ASR sense danger and taking measures to ensure safety of his family.😎
Wishlist scenes:
1.Akash, NK, Payal excited about the wedding, planning something together.
2.An emotional moment between Nani & Mami on Arnav's Marriage & Missing Arnav's Mom.
If Garima brought up two kids who were not of her own birth, so did Mami right?
Mami took Arnav and Anjali uner her wings and has loved them like her own and has fiercely protected them in her own way. Yeh moment and MIA Mama ka mention toh banta hai boss.
3.One exclusive Akash-Payal scene excitedly looking forward to their own sibling marriage pleeej.
If Arnav and Khushi brought Payal and Akash together, shouldn't Payal and Akash return the favor by ensuring that Arnav and Khushi stay together considering darker times are ahead.
Kindly underline their role too in the time to come. We love Akash and Payal in case you had any doubt.
4. How about Arhi, Payash and NK on an evening out together or atleast a scene together, that would be super cool.
TRP Maiyya
Looks like TRP maiyya has shown her kripa on the show. The sudden activity from SP read banners, tweets, pics is always a sign even before the TRP gets officially released that Maiyya is blessing the show. Hopefully I am proven right tomorrow😃
Final request(s):
This was the IPK we love and used to love.
Everyone had something to do AND WERE totally in their characters -
- Arnav Khushi
- Bromance,
- Behna bonding,
- Gupta family,
- Raizada family,
- Arnav-Anjali and ofcourse
- Shyam.
Please maintain the consistency in story, characters, execution and the look of the show.
New promo -
Please guys take inspiration from other shows promo and shoot a good one and bring the OH WOW factor back!!
If you are planning to release the promo tomorrow or tonight, GREAT.😃
Next time whenever there is a new promo about to be released, kindly release it when IPK is on air during both the breaks. The advantages:
You have your existing audience who will know about the promo AND the track ahead.
And then release it as usual and keep repeating like the PKD promo which I am seeing almost twice in every break. Even if not twice at least once in break, so you can get the old & new audience to your show.
Do think about the above requests.😃
