Before I begin with my take on Friday's episode,I would like to share something with u all.I was reading a book,where the adage below appeared n I couldnt help but connect it with the four principle characters of the show.
Pyaar aur jung me sab jaayaz hai!
Everything is fair in love & war!
Arnav,Khushi,Anjali & Shyam-All four of them have believed in this adage, knowingly or unknowingly, and have blindly taken decisions based on their love for someone.
Let me start with Arnav's love for his di.
When he saw Shyam & Khushi on the terrace that night,he was devastated. Before he could fully absorb this shocker,there came another shocker in the form of his sister's pregnancy. Now,he had to save not just his sister's life but also her baby's life. In order to save her married life,he sacrificed his love. He took an impulsive decision of marrying Khushi for a contract period of 6 months. He forced her to marry him,without thinking about anything else. In his eyes,all that he was doing was fair,coz he was doing only for his sister.By the time the contract was set to end, he was a changed man.He realized that he'd made a mistake by robbing Khushi of her dreams,by forcing her to marry him. He accepted his mistake and even apologized for the same.But did he face the consequences of his mistake? Yes,partly,when dadi came to know that they hadnt completed the marriage with the rituals,he had to agree for the remarriage. But what about the contract? The day the family comes to know of the contract,he will face the full consequences of his impulsive decision.
Coming to Khushi's love: When Arnav said that he will stop Aakash-Paayal's wedding,if she doesnt agree to marry him for 6 months,Khushi gave in. Her love for her sister forced her to agree for something that was totally against her beliefs. She didnt think about the consequences. About the stigma her family and she herself would have to face. Nor did she think of the time post the contract,when she would have to return to her maternal home.She simply agreed to it,coz she didnt want her sister's marriage to break again.And she knew how much her jiji loved her jijaji and she also knew that Arnav was capable of calling off the wedding.So,she sacrificed her own happiness,crushed her dreams of a perfect wedding with her Rajkumar and married Arnav. She had to face the consequences of her impulsive decision from time to time. She faced it all,the social stigma,the abuses,the taunts, everything but she didnt reveal the truth of the contract to anyone.First it was love for her sister,then her family and later her husband. She didnt want anyone to know about it n blame Arnav. She knew and understood very well his reason for the wedding.She forgave him for all that he'd done to her.But still,she will have to face the consequences of her decision,no matter how much she loves her husband or how much she loves her sister.When the truth comes out,she will again be stigmatized.She'll b questioned by those same people for whom she made the sacrifice.
Anjali,a woman who was robbed of happiness on the day of her marriage-when her parents committed suicide. Her marriage was broken and she was left alone. Until she met her knight in shining armour,Shyam,just the kind of husband she'd dreamt of. Post her wedding,she almos had a picture-perfect life. A loving,doting husband,a caring,loving brother,a family for whom she's the apple of their eyes.The news of her pregnancy only added to her happiness!Her child would make her life much more happier! She was basking in all the love and the joys of a healthy pregnancy,when she was hit by an unexpected blow,which shook her and broke her from within. The husband for whom she was his Rani sahiba,was accused by her brother n his wife for infidelity and kidnapping.She was never allowed to take a decision on her husband,she could never really believe that he could do that to her. Without her consent,her brother threw her husband out of his house. Her dreams were shattered. When life was looking dull n gloomy,her knight in shining armour came back and requested her to give him a chance to explain himself. Since she had never really believed him to be guilty and since she loves him immensely,she gave him a second chance. Without anyone's consent,without anyone's knowledge, she continued to meet him behind their backs.Y?Coz she was convinced that her husband wasnt lying and it was all a big misunderstanding on her brother's part. That was her first mistake- believing Shyam blindly and not confronting Chhotey about his MU.In her eyes,she was justified in meeting him behind Chhotey's back, she was justified in hiding him from the family,whatever she did was right,coz she did it out of love.For her nothing or noone is more important than her husband. Her love was so immense and so unconditional,that when she thought her husband was in danger of getting caught,she didnt care for her ownself or her baby and set out to save him. She tolerated the shards of glass piercing her skin,the pain in her feet,everything else just for him.Her pain didnt matter to her at all! His safety was of utmost importance ! That was her second mistake,which cost her her child. In trying to safeguard Shyam,she fell down the stairs,injured her own self and caused the death of her baby. She's always been blindly in love with Shyam,ignoring his follies,loving him for being the ever caring,doting,lovable husband. She wronged her brother,betrayed him,tricked her family n met Shyam and she'll have to bear thoe consequences of doing all of that. Of trusting a monster like Shyam.She will not b spared coz her love was unconditional,pure n selfless. Or bcoz she was always the dutiful,just n loving wife. Karma spares no one.
Shyam- a sweet-talking evil man,who could use any means to achieve his ends. Her used his wife as a pawn to acquire Arnav's property. He lusted after Khushi and was even ready to kill his wife in order to b able to marry Khushi. He kidnapped Arnav n wanted to kill him so that he could have his house,his money n his wife for himself.He killed his own baby,his flesh n blood,just so that he could gain entry into Shantivan.He's here on a mission,a war and he's ready to do all it takes to win this war.But I feel he took up his war for a loved one's sake. Who, we dont know yet. But he waged a war,not just coz he wanted Arnav's money. he's a lawyer with a good practice,he could have made money on his own.So then y is he after Arnav? Why does he hate him so much?His motive is not just Arnav's property,or destroying Arnav singh Raizada or seeking revenge from Khushi, he has a greater purpose. I strongly feel he's part of the Raizada/Malik past story and he's here to seek revenge for what happened in the past.But what he's forgotten in all of this is that every man on Earth has to face the consequences of his actions,good or bad. He hasnt really faced the consequences of his deeds yet,but he will have to face them sooner than later.
These 4 characters who believed that "everything is fair in love & war" forget "As
you sow,so shall you reap!" "Jaisa bowoge,waisa hi kaatoge!"
Coming to Friday's bin Diwali ka dhamaka-a romantic,family drama which soon turned into a horror movie for the viewers.
The episode was fabulous in terms of story,direction,camera work and acting.👏
This unexpected turn in the story will surely bring TRPs for the show.Amen!
I have been angry with Anjali's behaviour n especially with her betraying Arnav n meeting Shyam for the last few weeks. But I couldnt help feel sorry for her on Friday.She helped Shyam out of love.Her love was true n pure n its truely sad that she loved sucha monster like Shyam will all her heart and trusted him with all her being. She has suffered blow after blow in life-from physical impairment,to parents' suicide,to being thrown out of home but this is the biggest blow any woman could get. Her pain moved me to tears.
The falling scene was nicely done,no OTT screaming and rolling down the stairs. Thank u cvs for sparing us that additional torture!
Aabhas acted really well in his scenes.👏 In the scene where Shyam's hidden in the poolside, with the poolwater reflecting on his smiling face,I liked the camerawork a lot!
There were some obvious bloopers,like Shyam being able to see the railing and staircase from the poolside and the family rushing towards the right,when the staircase was right behind them on the left!And then there were some not so obvious ones,like Anjali's footmarks,which changed from left to right. But anyways, moving on..
Dadiji again got a chance to taunt the Guptas for amma's absence.For how long is amma going to use the dawai khatm ho gai thi bahana? 😕
NK saved the day for buaji n Khushi.I loved how he started dancing with Khushi. ARnavji didnt mind this time.He wasnt jealous at all! Instead,he was smiling n enjoying it!
I understand that the interspersion of the song with Anjali scene upped the drama quotient n suspense,but it killed the magic of the song for me.I couldnt enjoy it in the first watch.
Karan/NK danced really well.And Aakash,well... he danced! But the dancer of the day has t be naniji!👏And the faceoff of the day has to be buaji v/s mamiji faceoff. Loved it! And loved ASR's cocking f eyebrows n Khushi's whistle when buaji n mamiji started dancing.
I loved Khushi's actions for these lines"Rakhna tha dil pe qaboo,Yeh husn toh hai jaadoo.Jaadoo yeh chal gaya toh mera qusur kya hai?"Arnavji loved it as well,or so his expressions told me!😳
Naniji,I love u! Thank u so much for pulling Khushi towards Arnav!
And I loved the way Khushi placed her hand on his heart n he pulled her for a hug!
The hug and the air kiss were priceless!I felt so sad for both of them,knowing very well that their joys n celebrations would soon end in a horrific manner.
Everyone's expressions were spot on,despite the fact that DB's scenes were shot separately!👏
I liked the fact that they didnt drag the hospital scenes.The scene where the doors of the OT cloe n the family is left outside was well shot.
Aakash comforted everyone,be it his maatey,his dadi,bhai's dadi n bhai.
Arnav,as expected,stood by himself in a corner,scared for his di n her child. But this time he will not b alone. His wife,his love will always b by his side.Even if he hides in the peetal ka bartan,she will seek him out of there. She put his worrries to rest n calm his frayed nerves with her love and help him overcome the loss. I loved the shot of Khushi holdin his hand with naniji in the BG!👏
The news of the miscarriage stunned all of them,all reactions were spot on. Arnav's anger on the dr. ws well done by Sobti boy!👏 But what I didnt like was naniji n mamiji asking the dr. if it was true? Areh agar dr keh raha hai toh sach hi hoga na? Koi aisi baat ko lekar mazaak kyun karega bhala?
BS,SI,AM,DB,AD,DP,KG,Abhaji,Jayshreeji,Swatiji ,Utkarshaji-all have done a fab job! Hats off!👏
Hats off to the crew as well! Hopefully u all will be blessed immensely by TRP maiyya for ur efforts! Amen to that!
@ Priya- loved the quote! Awesome crooner as always!👏 I havent watched BV after the leap,but I know they r big in terms of promotion.So despite their promotion n despite the lack of promotion of our show,if u say that our show has done better than them,nothing like it! I'm really happy for IPKKND!
Sorry for spamming n chatting,will not do so in the future. I agree n respect ur views. In the past,I have posted my take before urs was up quite a few times,forgive me for that. Will make sure to post after reading ur take in future.
@ Anjali,Deeps,Nishita,Gandhari,Suba,Rashmi,Moonlight1,momb24,Indi,Anu,Suvi, arshicritic,Parsha,Riti,Beena,Khushi,MrDarcyFan- superb takes by all of u!👏
@ Divya- loved ur take!👏Hope u r better now.Take care.
@ Farha- loved ur take as well! Take care n dont exert urself a lot.Hope ur son has adjusted in his school.
@ am1983- Thanks a ton for the uncut of the song sequence!
@ Sri - I agree with u. Shyam has a hidden motive. the reason why he hates ASR has something to do with their past,I believe.
Have a nice day friends!🤗
