Hello Hello Ladies,

Let me be the first to admit that writing after this long is very challenging because first I don't remember what I liked only what I disliked, and boy oh boy is that a long list but hey after everything I'm still here and still investing time everyday to watch thes how and to write albeit occassionally about the show, that is my commitment to IPKKND my love for Arshi, and my hope for a brighter future...
After much struggles on how to structure this post to paint a coherent picture of my thoughts I just gave up and wrote what I think... my apologies if they all over the place and make no sense at all... into the great mosaic that is my opinion and observations ... it just feels theraputic to get it all out of me... and thank you for reading...
First things first...
So after all the struggles of getting to be one...fighting against the inner passion which each other invoked...through the hate and disdain...like a moth to the flame Arnav and Khushi spearheaed for each other breaking down mountains into dust particles in their quest to be with each other yet somehow they have by passed the honeymoon phase and jumped right into midlife phase of their marriage????????
Was the above paragraph a "tad" dramatic... yes it was... only to mirror the emotions that Khushi, Arnav and the audience went through to finally to be and to watch them be together... and now that they are together there is no hint of the sizzle... no remberance of that chemistry...why????
Yes yes I fully understand that the SP Convent (being Convent educated I can spot a similar upbring anywhere) will raise their eyebrows and shake their heads in common disgust that I would suggest a new married couple who supposedly only "did it" once before marriage, would be most interested in spending some "quality""alone""time" ( hey lets just see how many times I can elude saying "the word" in this post, prove my Covent education if you must),"getting to REALLY know one another".
For a couples such as Arnav and Khushi where sexual tension was their USP it is almost like they "moved forward" and lost all their sizzle... Yes yes I know that it is an uncomfortable topic however, TRP's are off at the moment perfect time to test the waters... and reward the ardent viewer with some "naughty" scenes... I would personally like to see a more progressive Khushi...
Point to be noted: They are newly weds who have finally got to be togther and people know better than to "distrub them" so kindly show that...
But I guess that isn't going to happen now that the story has progressed a little...
Sheetal Kapoor: A welcome break... very tonned down performance... she is the kind of woman you expect Arnav to be with... a classy, well dress, put together and a women of few words. Quiet frankly she is a person that the world at large can identify with. Even her reactions to her son are tonned down... I loved how she is wasn't the one smothering Aarav it was the rest of them.
Quite frankly, if any women came across another from their significant others past no matter how secure and loved there is always that twinge of jealousy! that what did my husband see in her... and is it still there. For Khushi... she can plainly see what Arnav saw in Sheetal... and Khushi being so different from Sheetal would force Khushi to think about herself, the way she acts reacts and even to some extent dresses...
Point to be noted: Khushi should be questioning herself, and whether or not she is fit to be in Arnav's society... a plight that was recently experienced by her sister ...perhaps a sisterly bonding moment or two...
Aarav SR: So I was very curious about a show on sony that recently introduced a daughter of the main protagonist, I don't normally watch the show but the kid could be the next olsen (full house reference for those who don't know, introduced twin actress at the age of 9 mths who are billionaires at the moment) that I have fallen in love with it and try to catch it if I can...
Unfortunately, IPKKND took a very routine route... he doesn't have to do everything the same... you know... he is related to everyone in the family you know and genetics is strange, I can swear that my nephew sometimes cracks jokes that I am thinking off (freaky really but true nontheless). So take that into consideration
Point to be noted: We get it they are very very similar...quit already... and ...IT IS NOT OK FOR A KID TO SAY "WHAT THE"... STOP IT NOW !!! IF MY NEPHEWS SAID WHAT THE IN FRONT OF ME THEY WOULD BE REPRIMANDED! (do you know what the rest of the phrase is?
The rest of the cast ... they don't even deserve to be called supporting cast anymore only extras... not once were we shown Arnav spending some time with Anjali asking her how is she doing... or Anjali struggling to pick up the pieces of her life... dude any other character would need some serious help... I fully don't blame the supporting cast wanted to leave the ship because after all they are not supporting cast but gloried extra's at the moment...
Point to be noted: Instead of giving the cast lines how about you give them a story... I used to love the change in the scenery once upon a time in IPKKND, where Shyam was purposefullly trying to win over Khushi's family and on the other side Khushi was Arnav were going together... yes I understand that things might never be that intense ever again but atleast follow your own lead...
And finally, Arnav has put his past behind him... but Khushi's actions and reactions will be digging up that past that he put him... on his bday Khushi said to him to look at how much she has changed for him... that is not true it is he who has changed for her...she has remained the same sometimes cute sometimes obnoxious girl. It is he who is in love with her now and doesn't do anything to correct her... but she REQUIRES modifications!!!
So final Point: Please show some character growth in Khushi... if after everything the wedding, his past coming up between them and in such a way she still trusted him... but now she can't talk to him straight there is something wrong with her... she is falling back to her old ways doing things by herself which never end up well...
I think there is hope and this is the time for the show to step up and out... build each character, but do not define them as good or bad but only how they react to each situation ( hint lost, once upon a time, or any long running, critically acclaimed show) ... The face of Indian television is changing and IPKKND has an opportunity to try to be differnent create a niche for themselves it already has a very loyal fan base. And as long as the CV's and PH try new "interesting" things and tackle things rightly we the audience will stick by them.
And finally, good luck with the new show it looks very good...
That was my two cents
S
P.S. I don't stick around so please PM me your comments.

This episode started out as expected, Khushi being true to her character never makes things easy and instead goes for the complicated route to get a hair sample from Arnav. Khushi plucks a hair awakening Arnav from his sleep but he's too out of it to take note of what Khushi is really upto and pulls her hand, holding it like a pillow while he fell back to sleep. I just loved that part, finally the CVs remembered how Arnav used to hold Khushi's hand while sleeping before they remarried.

The Raizada women fussing over Aarav and trying to get him ready for school was cute, I do not blame them for taking a liking to the child and wanting to spoil him rotten nothing wrong there especially since they know nothing of Sheetal and Arnav's past involvement.

The breakfast scene is where I had issues with. Arnav talking about Sheetal's allergy is one thing but did he have to go into details? Whatever happened to it meant nothing? Suddenly out of nowhere not only does he remember her allergy but how he came to learn about it too?? I found this completely insensitive to Khushi who was standing right there, did he not think how this would make her feel? This is the same guy who used to get jealous at the smallest interaction NK and Khushi had. I just found this part out of character for Arnav who used to be in sync with Khushi's emotions, now there is like a disconnect and he just does not pick up on her inner turmoil. The CVs should really be careful when it comes to Arnav as these type of things just look completely out of character for who he is and used to be.

So Khushi finds another way to get Aarav and Arnav's DNA test, this time by using bubblegum. I must ask was there not a better option for the CVs? Oh well its done and I will admit I loved the poolside scene with Khushi, Arnav and Aarav. I found it cute and for a minute could think of Aarav as Arnav and Khushi's son especially the way both held her dupatta apologizing and trying to pacify her. Cute!

So what is really the deal with Arnav and Sheetal, are the CVs trying to purposely throw us off with scenes like today where he and Sheetal exchanged looks when the topic of marriage came up? Or the nut and handshake scenes?? Whatever was in their past, Khushi has a right to be suspicious but obviously Arnav won't see it that way especially now that he is in the know about the DNA test. It was a twist I did not see coming based on future spoilers so what probes Khushi to further investigate even after Arnav says he and Aarav couldn't be related? Normally she would just take his word for it so what provokes her to still want to pursue this? I'm still predicting a 360 MU between the two but remains to be seen if Arnav will fight to prove his innocence and clear Khushi's insecurities or further feed those insecurities. Have to give the CVs credit for leaving viewers in suspense not being able to figure out what will happen next, lots of spoilers floating around but not knowing what to believe anymore. They have me hooked, still optimistic so good job CVs!

Chapter 10: The Ghost of You

Arnav and Aarav were still trying to come up with ways to take revenge on Akash. They still hadn't forgiven him and they were not going to rest till they did. Arnav had insisted that Aarav go with him to AR everyday till he started school and Aarav had agreed. Everyone was surprised and shocked and happy at the same time. But Arnav did it because he wanted to make up lost time and he wanted to prevent Aarav from being smothered by all the female members of his family, because Khushi would allow him to be smothered by them.

Now Aarav wasn't bored, not while he was with Arnav. Unbeknownst to everyone, the father-son duo chatted constantly when they were alone together. About everything, from human behaviour to children's activities. Arnav took Aarav to his various meetings and official gatherings and basically everywhere he went to. Afterwards, he told Aarav why a particular person behaved in a particular way and what motivated him.

Chapter 11: The Start of Something Magical

It was the day. It had finally arrived. It was the day of Aarav's first day at school. Naturally, the house was in uproar. The women, sans Khushi, were crying, and the men were trying to hide their smirks. Akash had gotten over Arnav and Aarav's plan, simply because he got to see a different side to his delectable wife... a side that he enjoyed very much! And he was the least worried about Aarav.


Really? Is this how you want to play CVs? What did I ever do to you? You guys play dirty you know that? Well I am tempted to say loads more but I won't.

That child is not Arnav's. He wouldn't be so confident in asking Khushi to open the reports otherwise. That is all I have to say.

Oh and: Why did you molest my child? That poor boy is scarred for life now! Darn you!

Is it wrong that I still expect this from you?

Edited: If only Sheetal was allergic to Arnav Bitwa's nuts. Then we wouldn't be in this predicament. *sigh*

I can't actually say what kind of post it is but can just say if you loved loved loved today's episode😕..please stop right here..Because I might not be of much help...and might dampen your mood..which I sincerely don't want to...😳


Anyway..this is the second time in my history of IPK viewing that I have felt so low..so damn low after an episode that I wanna cry😭..Yea..go ahead..call me filmy..but that's the exact state of my mind...👎🏼



When Barun Sobti took that massive 40 day leave...during the kidnapping track...I remember counting days for his return to the show...We all thought once he returns back..things will again get back to normal😊..IPK will once again be how it used to be..🤓

Boy!!How delusional were we!!Still after those gloomy two months...we really saw light..We had some really good episodes..filled with fun..frolic and yea..ROMANCE...

Today..it's almost a month since ArHi remarriage happened...and I can count the total number of sensible "Rabba Ves" we've got...Yea..I really don't care..how many layers this track has...or how subtle this track promises to be...I just don't care🥱...I don't hestitate to confess that Sarun chemistry..or the ArHi love story..an intense and passionate one at that...was what got me hooked to this show in the first place👍🏼..And I don't think Romance in IPK has ever hit this low😒...Even the kidnapping track...or the MU track before that had given many intense scenes...there have been days we have clapped..and stood agape at the marvel that is ArHi romance...😳

You show Arnav-Aarav bonding..I liked it👍🏼...You show a sympathetic and well-behaved Arnav with Sheetal..I appreciate it😳..But where is the ArHi love story??Is it soo hard to sprinkle a few sensible Rabba Ves here and there??💔Your male and female leads..both are very much around...their crackling chemistry was what once made millions addicted to this very show..And today...it's Non-existent...IPK without passionateRabba Ves...is Nada...🤢

Anyway..thank You that Arnav gets hold of the DNA report...the only thing about the episode that made me sit throughout the whole episode..😃

It really does not bother me anymore whether Aarav is Arnav's child..whether Sheetal is a vamp or a damsel in distress...For me IPK without Rabba Ves is a body without soul...DEAD!!🤢

I still hope that Arnav knowing about the DNA tests can bring in some intensity to the plot..I sincerely hope so...😊

And yea Arnav Singh Raizada kneeling down to say sorry to his wife..Yeh Din bhi dekhna tha

Anyway..I could have went on about how this episode sucked..for me...but some other day😆

Good Nite and have a great weekend!!😛

"If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger."
-Emily Bront, Wuthering Heights

I felt the similar desperation In Khushi who hasd not expected or demanded a partner like Arnav from Life but now that she has been she will love to hold to him at no matter what the cost are, he defines her, he is her world.
She has lived her life mostly in a way where she gave more than she recived bcz her disappointments were covered with a emotion that said atleast I got something, Her cheery demanour was to fool the world n herself but within her too is a soul who is scared to loose
Aarav is currently the object of affection from evryone at RM 7& though everyone sees similarity bet ween Aarav & Arnav, none is too analytical or worried, happy at the co incidence but the wife Khushi & the women Khushi feels threatned by this small kid bcz if her fears come true that she looses Arnav her world, Its a scary place to be in where Khushi stands now


The family was gathered around Aarav pampering him and Arnav enjoing it bcz not everday RM ladies get to be mother hens he was looking at the family going gaga at a small kid and Khushi approaches her view was she poses a threat to me she has been in contact with aarav the most in last few days, for her peace her fear she once agn tries the whole oil message thing but once agn her gentle ministration fails, what I would say Khushi is scraed t her wits here yet she has tried to be subtle here and try to assuage her fears in a manner which will not cause anxiety to anyone, she doesnt wana ruffle the calm lake as they say...


Her alert mind still latches to fact that her husband remember sheetals allergy after so many years and it must be hv been a more stronger realtionship then Arnav feels now and also the fact that Sheetals isnt using the same last name as her for Aarav, Most women or wifes will be willowing in anger & self pity but not Khushi her reslves strengthens her once agn to clear the doubts clearing her mind

Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.
Khalil Gibran


She has never doubted Arnav as she knows him now, time & agn she has reminded herself that Arnav is completely honest with her abt everything
But her doubts emerge abt the past when she wasnt a part of him or his life the days where he had no faith in realationships & his in famous temper where his mind would stop working
and lead to rash desicin , its this ASR she fears and finds surprisng that he had been friendly with Sheetal bcz what she saw was a young man aloof in most situations, awkward with people.
the whole brain stroming scene abt hair sample once agn highlights her singled out focus on the issue bothering her and there in her chance to get what she wants.
The Aarav & Arnav bonding scene was done brillaintly, two silent reserved guys understanding each other and the manners once agn reminded Khushi and viewers of the similar behivour and scare it posses for Khushi, Her over dramatic style once agn dimishes the scare & fear which throttles rather mking it look like a Joke
The dupatta has been a very essential part of Khushi Arnav journey and the two hold it with complete sincerity and it looked as one of the cutest scene depicted by IPK in the recent times, Infact for a moment I felt if Arnav ever has a son with Khushi & he n kid together are trying to cheer Khushi it would be close to this,,, I loved the scene for it simplicity
& finally the reports,,, A wife worst fear with a proof, who tightly the persona strung like a guitar string, but i didnt find sanaya very convincing here I am not sure was it me or my expectations were higher, I wanted a shiver run through her wen the mental implications of a yes were running through Khushi mind but I dint find and whole Arnav thing I guess that what happens between Husband & wife everyday.

Dedication to Arnav & Khushi
The hours I spend with you I look upon as sort of a perfumed garden, a dim twilight, and a fountain singing to it. You and you alone make me feel that I am alive. Other men it is said have seen angels, but I have seen thee and thou art enough.

TRUSTING LOVE AND LOVING TRUST...PYAAR: BHAROSA...

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."
? Gordon B. Hinckley


So true for us as fans...so true for a certain Sanka Devi...but she does falter in her belief of good as time and again FATE HAS TESTED HER FAITH IN GOODNESS,HUMANITY AND LOVE...above all TRUST!!Doesnt it strike you ironical?Dont you identify with her experiences with life as it were to our experiences as a fandom with our show IPKKND!!The irony...
So many times similarly,Us as fans have been tested on TRUST,PATIENCE AND FAITH that it will get better...that there is a means to an end!!

Does it mean we let go of the Faith we have put in the IPK team?
Does it mean Khushi should give up her Faith in Good,Love and Life?Or should she compromise her expectations or modify them to decrease the chances of disappointment?And so,Should we??

Maybe...or maybe not!But we will have to deal with and so will she with the frustration of trying to make things perfect,happy,and to our liking...hmmm!
Should we learn to believe unconditionally?in our show?in the CVs?
In her case should she?Believe unconditionally?
Should we have patience with knowing the outcomes of tracks?or attack them to find the result?Will it kill the joy of sitting back and making wonderful memories of what is happening in the present?
Should she??wait?or forge ahead cause it means a threat to her relationship?her future?Will she be losing the precious present where she could make magical moments to cherish in the future ...the future which is unpredictable?

Should we?...Should she?...Ironical!

**********************************************************
"Relationships are mysterious. We doubt the positive qualities in others, seldom the negative. You will say to your partner: do you really love me? Are you sure you love me? You will ask this a dozen times and drive the person nuts. But you never ask: are you really mad at me? Are you sure you're angry? When someone is angry, you don't doubt it for a moment. Yet the reverse should be true. We should doubt the negative in life, and have faith in the positive."
? Christopher Pike, Remember Me

So true...lets look at it!
We as fans...When we hear something good is happening with the show,the cast,the directors.the crew...or just in an epi...we expect...nothing like that will happen,are you sure it's true?..I don't think that's possible!?..etc,etc,...ok...I mean some of us..I am intentionally vague...no details..becoz..I am discussing the concept of accepting something good!Even though we have been reassured of good things...our minds won't accept this fact easily...there's just No way that's happening!Again,all are not the same...but I see a pattern and I myself maybe guilty...

So with Khushi...so with Arnav before...they could not believe that the other is capable of good..or has the right intentions...they learnt the hard way ..to trust each others feelings and words...even now,For Khushi to believe her world with Arnavji is perfect and so beautiful...is hard to imagine..she finds a grain of sand and it builds into a molehill of doubt!Even though it has been said to her by the person she is most concerned about losing...she still does not want to believe that she is the most important thing in his life!!That just is too good to be true...

Just my way of thinking but it is very hard for us to just accept GOOD at plain face value without hard evidence and repeated interrogations!So also for her!
Don't you think this lies true for the world on a majority?Not all are same...

But given a hint that something bad is looming in the horizon...we are ready to jump and accept it !!So is Sanka Devi...Humme patta tha..aisa hi hota hai humare saath!...or in many of our cases we may say...I knew it!I told you that would happen!it was too good to be true!

How ironical...real v/s reel,hai na?

###############################
"If we can just let go and trust that things will work out they way they're supposed to, without trying to control the outcome, then we can begin to enjoy the moment more fully. The joy of the freedom it brings becomes more pleasurable than the experience itself."
? Goldie Hawn

Do I need to say anything about the above quoted words?
We know ,Khushi knows...but acceptance of this above statement and putting it into practice...hah!Easier said than done!!


"To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved."
? George MacDonald

Totally felt for the Show...when a lot of fans gave it up...felt that they couldn't stomach any more of the "sub quality"tracks..and the poor execution...for those of us that have stayed,I applaud your loyalty...you have risen in love...usually fallen in love...is used...but I always think...it's a misnomer!!
It shud be..Fallen in love but Risen in Trust!!I hope and pray our trust is repayed...but i personally am not trusting this show with that expectation,am not loving this show with that condition...I just love it for it being IPK!

Totally felt for Khushi when ASR chose to distrust her despite loving her deeply...it defeated their love and paved way to the most hateful marriage for any couple in love I've seen...it was a dark day in February 2012!
Totally feel for Arnav now with him having loved her unconditionally for who she is with all past circumstances...she is his worship ,his love ,his Bharosa...
He is her everything,her deepest love,her life but she chose to distrust him this time and put her instincts above his stated truths,..this after she told him..Humme Bharosa hai aap par,Aapke Pyaar par!!Khushi I as a woman get it...I know why...BUT WHY...OH WHY?...can't you just love him enough to trust that you could ask him anything?

Star crossed lovers indeed..Arshi...and us fans of the show!!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
"The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them"
? Thomas Merton, No Man Is an Island

Self explanatory..the above...

"I do not trust people who don't love themselves and yet tell me, 'I love you.' There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt."
? Maya Angelou

Khushi...do you love yourself...do you care about your feelings...you haven't in the past...you've always put yourself last...I hope and pray this time...that you think differently...u said..Hum bhi Aapse I love you Dammit!We know you meant it!But the fears and insecurity you carry will influence the conviction with which you stand by those words...will make it seem as though those words "Meant Nothing"...be careful...learn to believe that you are someone to love!!That will make you trust in the fact that someone like Arnavji can truly love you more than life...you said it on your Mandap...Woh humse aapne aap se bhi zyada Pyaar karte hain!!you know it!The only way you can start believing it is by loving yourself first!!I wish you all the luck on that!You are special...like Arnavji said!

"After all, damn it, what does being in love mean if you can't trust a person."
? Evelyn Waugh, Vile Bodies

So much to read into in such few words above...but so true Dammit!
What is love without trust?An Ocean without water?A body without soul?

I trust you to know I love you all and I trust you love me enough to let me make mistakes...:)))
