Dear Fellow viewer & reader , welcome to yet another edition of DC .. whoa whoa whoa .. what an episode ..gimme a moment to stop reeling .. a flawless episode ..brilliant .. (ok flaws galore .. but when script is so tight & gripping who cares .. ) So .. cat is out of the bag .. the mother says ..the name of the father .. the father says he is not the father .. the stepmother .. is most concerned about stepson .. the wife is pushing the husband towards his illegitimate son .. whoa .. confused .. na .. this is all in a day at the IPK .
______________
The big reveal...
She confronts the truth ..
Scene 1:
Episode starts with Khushi coming to Sheetal's room and asking her, who is your husband? She says, I may not have rights to ask you this question.. but it's very important for me to know who is your husband. Sheetal tries to avoid her question, but Khushi says to her, don't try to change the topic.. I am not Aarav that you can tell me whatever.. I must know who is your husband.. and that too today and right now. Sheetal says, I can't tell. Khushi says, you have to and asks her, why can't you tell me? Sheetal says, because there is a reason. Khushi asks, what kind of reason? Sheetal says, when I don't care about Aarav's father and where is he, then why do you care? Khushi says, lie.. if you really didn't care, then you would have told everyone about it. Sheetal still says, i don't care. Khushi say, no. .it matters a lot to you and says, I have a proof. sheetal asks, what proof? Khushi says, if it doesn't matter then why did you keep fast today? I saw everything. Sheetal says, I didn't keep any fast.. it's just your misunderstanding. Khushi says, no.. I saw myself.. you looking at moon from your dupatta and then drank water. Sheetal says, something was stuck in my dupatta .. that's why. Khushi says, okay, but then you also looked at Arnav from your dupatta.. and drank water from same pot from which Arnav made me drink water. Sheetal is all quiet. Khushi says, I have no misunderstanding.. you kept Karva-Chauth fast and that too for Arnav. Sheetal asks, but why would I keep fast for Arnav? Khushi says, because Arnav is Aarav's father.
Khushi shows her the DNA report and asks whether the results are wrong. Sheetal is shocked reading the document. Khushi continues that Arav and Arnav share blood.
Pause here please ...
So the adamant Khushi .. the forthright Khushi .. marches to face her guillotine .. she faces the nightmare which has the power to destroy her carefully .. built fairy tale life .. a happily ever after with her rajkumar..
she keeps haranguing 'shee'tal .. about the karva chauth incident .. the incident .. which by the end of day left a "kadva" taste in her mouth .. 'Shee' feebly parries all the blows .. each & every explanation she comes up with is .. blown to smithereens by Khushi .. why was that i wonder .. was Khushi right .. or was 'Shee' desperately trying to prove Khushi right ..
she speaks about the 'dupatta leharana" incident .. she speaks about the 'jhoota paani peena" incident .. 'Shee' is left fumbling out excuses .. the once verbose lady .. is left mumbling ..
'Shee' denies saying .. why wud she fast for Arnav ..
Now pause here for a moment ..
what was most interesting in this diatribe was .. Khushi asks "shee" about her HUSBAND ... & 'shee' says .. why wud she 'fast' for arnav .. .. interesting isnt it ..
The difference between Khushi's thinking .. & shee & arnav's thinking was so beautifully shown in this dialogue .. i was in a discussion with puja yesterday ( read DC 5th nov ) .. we discussed something similar .. to Khushi .. a live in relation ship .. the kind arnav had with La .. was anathema .. way out of her thinking capability .. to her it is marriage .. so look how beautifully the writer .. today pointed out KHUSHI KUMARI GUPTA to us .. the girl who hails from a small town .. a girl who is virgin till she is married .. a girl who bears a child only after she has married her man .. thats her mindset .. thats what she keeps harping on ..
while "shee" .. La .. understand the relation dynamics of modern world .. i simply loved this thot process of the director .. helps us reconnect with the Khushi .. yes .. the past mistakes in Khushi's character today were being rectified .. gr8 job writers ..
ok lets move on ..
' Shee' asks Khushi why wud she fast for Arnav .. the lady is a past master at manovering conversations .. she brings Khushi to the point .. & makes Khushi blurt out the DNA report ..
Khushi .. a self righteous girl .. a girl who was today fighting for the rights of her perceived step son .. a naive girl blurts out .. THE DNA report shows .. Arnav to be the " family relation" of Aarav .. the 2 samples ... had a family connection ..
Now pause here please ...
I am a genetics major my self .. so when a DNA report is filed .. one gets a conclusive report which gives out a % chance of the 2 samples as a match .. ( ok will give the creatives .. some creative liberty ) ..
Now what was interesting here .. the REPORT DID NOT conclusively say .. The 2 samples .. were a MATCH .. they were FATHER & SON .. or there was a 95% match in samples ..
what say guys interesting .. ?? 😃
A very interesting segment ... yes the cat was out of the bag .. yes KHUSHI addressed the issue .. which so many ..were just drawing parallels off .. yes she confronted the horrifying truth of her husbands past ..
She spoke out .. Arnavji is Aarav's DAD ..
Sanaya Irani .. u r back love .. this is ur stage .. burn it .. have always felt .. sanaya excels in drama .. & today she more than proved her mettle .. the range of expressions she went thru were totally mind blowing .. from a scared woman .. walking towards her guillotine .. the woman who knocks on 'shee's door is a frightened girl ..
then the woman who asks about the name of 'Shee's husband was the terrified wife .. then came the outraged woman .. who was disgusted with the lies .. then came the woman .. who was at her teethers edge .. pushed to the precipice of her wits .. & finally .. the woman .. who faced her executioner .. a devastated wife .. Take a bow Sanaya Irani ..
Release Pause .. lets move on ..
Sheetal sits on the bed with the report in her hand and apologises, Khushi states why she didn't tell the truth, Sheetal states that she didn't want to hurt her son and wanted to keep all this from him and that if the truth came out they would take her son from her. Khushi consoles Sheetal, Sheetal asks Khushi not to tell Arnav, she tells Khushi that if he takes custody she wont be able to handle it. She tells her that she came to Mumbai looking for him, but then she found out he is married and there is nothing left here for her and was ready to leave, but then due to situations she had to stay behind. She tells Khushi Aarav will not understand and what if Aarav wants to stay here, she cant let this happen, the family are so nice and she cant do this to them and break the family. Sheetal tells everything is in Khushi's hand and begs her not to say anything to anyone, Khushi is in turmoil about what to do.
WHOA WHOA Ladies pause here please ..
the dam burst .. the water works released .. out came the tears .. wonder if they were of joy .. or they were of sadness .. or they were of relief ..
'shee' .. falls on the bed clutching the DNA report .. her salvation .. or her death knell .. or her ticket to RM .. ?? will leave this for later .. just a thot for u to ponder ..
The lady changes her stance .. from the antagonist .. she moves to the pacifist .. she moves to the hapless .. the poor defenceless helpless woman .. & by doing this .. she crumbles the fort standing tall in front of her ..
from the enraged lady .. willing to commit harakiri .. Khushi .. becomes the pacifist .. & the soother .. whoa .. kya change of dynamics .. the executioner gets executed ..
" shee" .. lets out .. how cud she reveal this .. she says .. she had come to Delhi ... to introduce her son to Arnav .. but here she came & saw that Arnav was a well settled man ( well settled with KHUSHI) .. 'shee' says .. he was important to me .. But i was a casual girlfriend to him ( KHUSHI was important to HIM ) .. She was here to introduce her child to his father .. but the father was married to another ( HE was married to KHUSHI) ..
Then she ups the arsenal .. she voices her insecurities .. her insecurities infront of a woman .. who is no stranger to insecurities ..to a woman with abandonment issues .. 'shee' mentions .. what if he CLAIMS CUSTODY of my kid .. basically .. letting out her insecurities .. what if i am YET AGAIN ABANDONED .. this time .. doubly so .. since 'shee' wud loose HER CHILD ..
Then .. she pushes the knife a bit deeper .. she says .. what if Aarav wants to stay back with his father .. thereby abandoning her .. the unspoken question .. WILL HE BE ACCEPTED ???
Finally .. the words .. which sealed KHUSHI's fate .. shee says .. the ball is in ur COURT .. u decide what is to be done !!!!
Now Pause here please ..
so interesting .. how much of what 'Shee' said did Khushi really understand ?? or did 'shee' playing to the galleries .. is all that penetrated in the fog induced mind of mrs. KKGSR .. ??
'Shee' said when she saw Arnav well settled she wanted to go away .. interesting .. then why dint she .. why does she still want to stay in this country .. why does she want to stay in his house .. why does she want to work for AR ??
Ok maybe .. lets for a moment give her benefit of doubt .. maybe she wanted to give this chance to her son to bond with his father albeit unknowingly ...
Then my question to Ms . Shee is .. why wait for 5 + years .. why not walk up the moment u knew u had conceived his child .. or anytime in the later 5+ years of her sons existence .. what happened now .. that 'shee' decided to come to make her son meet his father ???
A sincere request to the director .. can u work on dialogue delivery of madhura naik ... there is no emotion at all conveyed in her dialogue delivery .. no emotes ... the pauses are all wrong .. ruins the impact of the scene ..
The executioner got executed .. from the woman demanding & asking the questions .. khushi was left with a bag full of unanswered questions ..
Well tonite was Karva Chauth .. the day ladies looked up to see their moon .. tonite .. KHUSHI saw hers .. albeit ... an ECLIPSED ONE ..
the eclipse in her life started .. she was plunged to the depths of despair .. crying her heart out in her pillow .. when a hand rested on her .. a hand that wud be her salvation ..the hand that wud always be her support .. the hand of her husband .. Arnav Singh Raizada ..
______________
Now before i head into the last scene of the show .. yea u guessed it .. tonites the night of the cat fight .. for once i will not really write about the Arnav Khushi scene .. this was a simple precursor .. to what will come between the 2 .. a lot more bangs .. a lot more bumps .. par gaadi .. will come on track .. 😉
lets do a quick recon .. of what we know ..
- Arnav says he was not intimate with 'Shee' ( or something to this effect to Khushi)
- Arnav has time & again claimed Aarav is not his SON .. he seems to be very confident in his resolve
- 'Shee' claims Arnav is father of her kid "aarav"
- Khushi has a DNA report which says Arnav & Aarav are related
- 'shee' waited 5+ years to bring the son to introduce to his father ...
______________
Scene 2:
Khushi goes to Sheetal asking about Arav, Sheetal states he went to school. Khushi continues that Arav has the right to know that Arnav is his father. Sheetal continues what if Arnav wants her son, what will happen then will Arnav leave her or will she leave Arnav. Khushi is worried
Pause here please ...
someone rightly said on DC .. apna qabr khud hi khodna .. thats our Khushi .. relentless in her pursuit to reuinte papa & son .. hmm interesting .. ok going by her night dialogues to Arnav .. yes she suffers from abandonment issues .. but so did arnav .. is he reaching out to claim unknown kids as his own ?? or for that matter anji .. ??
so khushi once again marches into the lionesses DEN ..
pause here pls for a bit ..
look at the change in stance .. now .. 'shee' talks to her as if she has the upper hand .. 'shee' is talking with her confidence oosing out of her .. while .. Khushi is blubbering .. stuttering .. tentative .. an interesting change in dynamics .. isn't it ..
ok moving on ..
Khushi once again tells 'shee' that it was important for Aarav to know about his father ..
now whoops sorry pause pls ..
What shocked me in this .. this followed Khushi being rejected by arnav to go to aarav's school as his dad .. Arnav rightly refuses to go to the school .. so Khushi is asking 'shee' to tell Aarav about his father .. NOW .. what confused me here .. SHUDNT the FATHER FEATURE IN THIS REVELATION AT ALL ..
which was brilliantly pointed out by 'shee'
release pause ..
'shee' then tightens the screw .. she walks up to Khushi .. & says what we have been thinking all along .. has khushi thot this thru ?? has she done her calculations at all .. has she considered the situation from all angles ..
Then she voices the question .. the question which was hammering Khushi in her nightmares consistently ..
IF after knowing this .. what will happen ..
Will u leave ARNAV .. since i will NOT LEAVE mY CHILD with u & him .. Or wILL ARNAV LEAVE U ..
whoa whoa whoa . .. the game plan is out .. the worst nightmare was made into reality & spoken out .. the words which sounded like the death knell was out in the open .. the GONG was sounded ..
OK guys pause here please ..
Now interestingly .. at no point of time .. in both the discussions with khushi .. did 'shee' ever mention the ONE THING .. which is the BIGGEST GAME CHANGER iN this EQUATION ..
WILL ARNAV ACCEPT HE IS FATHER OF AARAV ???
isnt that the first hurdle to cross .. now on the day Arnav discovered the DNA report .. he reassured Khushi .. that there were no "intimate relations' between him & 'Shee' .. now when Arnav
'shee' was right there hiding behind the doors privy to this convo.. 'shee' heard Arnav get angry with KHUSHI .. on not TRUSTING him .. 'shee' saw Khushi hesitate & then finally tear the report .. (she also breathed a sigh of relief then) ..
Now .. if Arnav knows .. he was not intimate with 'shee' then 'shee' knows the same ..
So what is the GAME PLAN .. it wud take very moments for the truth to come out .. when Arnav gets into the equation .. SO what is "shee" doing here ??? is this about AARAV .. or is this about .. ??? 😃 😉 😃 😛

bas yaar nafrat ke layak hoon mein
