A tribute to Khushi Kumari Gupta

Today I had to make my final post for the show

And whom will I choose but the character who brought me to this show: Khushi Kumari Gupta

I was a silent member, till one fine day I saw khushi being bashed after an episode and I decided she needed a saviour

What started in October has never changed

My fascination and love for Khushi never wavered

Whether she was butchered

Whether she was dumb

Whether she was clownish

So what fascinated me about Khushi?

The first episode itself

With Khushi on a bike in those ridiculous clothes so chirpy and sweet

Out to prove to her sister's groom to deny the dowry

Her guts captured me

Then after the dori scene and a world of accusations

She made jalebis

That spirit captivated me

Then after Lucknow footage

She fought with the TV team

That fiery spirit captivated me

And continued to captivate me

In the building collapse scene

Her vulnerability and anger captured me

Gradually Khushi Kumari Gupta

Became a daily reason to smile and cry and worry about

She was a child one minute

And a naughty prankster the next

She made me cry for her

Because she never cried for herself

Because she never fought for herself

Her unconditional loving

Filled me with wonder

Made me want to bash those who hurt her

Her ability to smile through tears

Made me want to respect her

Her ability to rise up after every blow

Made me want to bow to her spirit

Till date no character on screen or in books

Fascinated me as much as Khushi Kumari Gupta

Everything about her

Her craziness

Her antics

Her clownish acts

Her Kamlesh Khabri

Her innocence

Her pranks

Her sensitivity

'everything will remain etched in my heart and in my mind

Forever

I'l be updating im not done yet, so do not quote it

About Khushi I can go on & on & never end. (I just love her) once again Rima has given me a lovely place to write pages on her.

Khushi The fighter : The character of Khushi drew me to her because of her fighting spirit. I could feel myself in her - I could connect to her. I m just like her fighting & giving answers back. Her dress sense, the scooty driving - gosh I was pulled towards her completely. The way she wanted justice for her sis though she herself my fall in trouble. She is the reason I even started watching this show & the best part she is the one who is there till the end of the show. Khushi you always make me feel so proud for being a girl - even though her character does feel a lil unrealistic post kidnapping phase specially. This aspect in the show is literally lost.

Khushi the Daughter : This aspect in the show is not really dealt at all only before the MU phase. Khushi has proved to be an excellent adopted daughter. She surpassed Anjali, Payal, ASR too in this field. She understand her parents before any one understand them or her. She knows what to do when though her methods may not be "IN"

Khushi the sister :Even though Anjali is not her real sister she treats like her own blood. She infact treats Payal & Anjali like the same her own blood when either of them are biological to her. She sacrificed her her life for a contract just to save her Sister who is not biological to her. She let Shyam loiter in the house those she knows the consequences just for Anjali.

Khushi the wife : It is next to impossible to get a wife like Khushi who is all time ready to forget her own endless pain & think what others are going through. Khushi has always put Anjali before Arnav & never interfered in their brother & sister relationship. She never asked for a upper hand in his life even though she definitely deserves equality in Arnav's life. She loves Arnav selflessly, she doesnt put any effort to do it, it comes naturally to her. Arnav is slowly changing from the ASR shell into Arnav all due to Khushi's love, affection & extremely pure & golden heart. The change is evident in him in past few episodes, buying her gifts, trying to do things she loves & thinks more about, hell bent on getting her back into his life, etc. She finds solace if he is doing fine. She can feel him in trouble where ever she or he is the kidnapping track is a huge proof to that. The telepathy was beautiful. Best past is she finds happiness in natural & simple aspects of life. She cant be pleasured through materialistic items. For Arnav this will be the easiest in the future to respond to.

Khushi the woman : From the time she has fallen in love she has emerged even more understanding then ever. How much ever humiliation she has been put through the minute she realizes that Arnav is going through some pain she completely forgets hers & tries in her capacity to cheer him up. She has never complained about Mami's taunts to Arnav ever. She never blamed any one for anything. She has always tried to reduce the stress for Arnav in her capacity. She has never claimed her position of Badi Bahu in RM till date. She has taken the responsibility of Arnav without being given it by anyone. Infact she has taken the entire responsibility of RM without anyone giving it to her. She has surpassed almost of the ladies in the show when it comes to showing love towards loved ones. A complete role model to me in terms of keep on giving but no expecting. She will not let her family get hampered in public under any pretext, she doesnt need any justification from her loved ones to support them - thats the level of love, understanding, maturity she carries with her effort - lessly - unlike ASR / Anjali needs justifications & confirmations most of the time. She feels Arnav's pain just as her's.

Khushi the mom : She has to a large extent played mother's role to ASR after Anjali. She could able to enter a place & change Arnav. She played a mom to a child who is not even hers happens to be an affair with her husband which was proved false later on. But that did not deter her. Child is child thats it. She plays mom to everyone in RM. I always wished she has her own children but sigh the show & sigh the character assassination.

Sanaya Irani always puts such incredible life into Khushi that i tend to forget Khushi's lil errors & just stare at Sanaya. Khushi does so many things which makes me really proud even though knowing i will never do most of it.

Khushi The Character Dedication made a separate one

I came to the show cos of KHUSHI & SANAYA...

LOVE UR POST...I WANT THEM BACK...

THIS IS NOT DONE...

She is the epitome of beauty. Its khushi! Great post rima! I love kkg. She cant be replaced.
Have to say... Sanaya is really a great actor! She portrayed the character absolutely beautiful. Khushi was through thick and thin for ASR! ! I applaud sanaya's professionalism! Barun will go to heights too. Both SI and Barun rocks...and so ARSHI

I totally agree. Yes, we all complain that Khushi was butchered and what not but you could never stop loving her. I adore how she adored everyone around her and I love how she spread so much love. She was truly the sunshine of the show <33

Rima di...
