Thnx Indi its taking me where I don't wanna go but as I always fights back and attack on my own fears and pains which made me who I am.I just can't see any one in pain that's it and when these two cry I feel tug in my heart so while watching 79-80 it took me a while to sit and write but I did it.81-83 is way too much so yes I am going to take time to consume all of their pain.Not emotional,don't cry that easily but if someone is way too close to my heart then forget it and these two fictional ones are just part of my family.

Ok underlined WHAT????? Differences 🤔

Thanks Arshi for posting this for me since I am computer illiterate! Girls, I just wanted to thank you for all your love and support during this time. That's my mom, Marie and me! This is been the most difficult time of my life, losing both parents but having her finally at rest with my Dad eases my heart. I hope to regain my strength and happy heart now to write again. IPK is very important to me and eases my pain. You all are very special and I have missed you so much.

Arshi, keep the faith. I am with you. Your presence with Sigrid at my mother's service was beyond mere words. I am with you at this time too. We both need to take time to appreciate our loved ones for what they meant to us and keep them always in our hearts and now to live for them!~

Episode 78-79: The sound of the shankh

What an explosive dhamakedaar start to 78, the auspicious sound of the shankh (conch shell), as the dupatta finds its target and lands on her head, vieling her entire face but failing to cover her disbelief. The last time the shankh was heard it was when he accidentally broke her fast, that incident was deemed accidental, but what to make of this one? Arnav furiously took the dupatta from his girlfriend and pitched it over la's head, but landed directly on Khushi... it was as if the dupatta once again got a mind of its own in its quest to tie these two together forever.

you just said it. Dupatta played a pivotal role in their relationship.😆

Khushi can't even blame Arnav this time for unintentionally doing something so big and meaningful. The words of her Amma, she told to La, echoed back in her head...

" jisse rishte ki taar judi ho... agar usske haath aapke sar pe, matlab aapke man ke meet ke haathon, aap ke sir pe chunri gir jaaye... toh uss jodi ko shaadi ke bandhan mein bandhne se koi nahi roke sakta."

"If a chunri lands on your head by the person you have a connection to, by the one you secretly love, noone can stop that couple from forming an union"

"rishte ki taar" literal meaning "a string of connection" ...This "taar" between these star-crossed lovers seem to go back lifetimes upon lifetimes. The shankh was loud and clear announcing the sealing of their "rishta"(relationship) today. In Hinduism, the shankh, which symbolizes the supreme Lord Vishnu, plays a vital role at the start of auspicious occasions. Shankhs are considered sacred and pure, IMO it's how Arnav views Khushi. If Arnav is the ocean, Khushi must be the shankh, sacred and pure, she is found in him and the sound of his humming can be heard from her if listened carefully, they have been a part of each other for eons. ("Arnav=Ocean" credit to Indi!)

loved the metaphor.

The other significance of the shankh in this show is later when it makes an apearance, one which belonged to Arnav's mom. Khushi goes to fetch it from the storage room for Anjali, and is overcome with emotion at the sight of it, holding it...

just the night before, she had learned about her the way of her demise from an anxious, beyond sad Arnav. I've always felt that among all the forced conspiring to bring these two together, him mom is very much included. I believe she was very much present when the shankh went off during teej and when this dupatta landed on Khushi's head, blessing her new bahu. It can't be easy being a star and watching your gem of a son go through so much pain. as a repercussion of your actions...She must've wanted "Kushi" in his life more than anything.

Loved your cognitive analysis here.

On khushi's face, behind the gunghat( viel), she has no objections to her mother's words, no denial about such words as "man ka meet" (lover of her mind like a secret love), there is only acceptance.

She allows the dupatta to just lay there while she processes this special occurrence. Meanwhile the ocean flows out of the room, but comes to an immediate halt, he feels her standing behind that dupatta.

both of them felt a jolt at that moment.so took some time to get back from the trance.

Slowly turning around to have a better look at her . He looks at the chunri and then her, an approval in his eyes.

And when she slowly goes to take the chunri off, he looks disappointed like he wants her to keep it on. And though La didn't get to finish why he should make the chnri land on her, he seems to know already, maybe that's why he threw it.

He doesn't believe in marriage, but here seeing his thrown chunri on Khushi's head, feels so right to him, both well aware of its significance because its discussed through their eyes..."Rabba ve"...dare i say the most auspicious one so far?

they were denying, but their love for each other was visible in their eyes.

Their "taar' of lifetimes shines through in this scene, both feel it to the core. She has always been a part of him the ocean and he has always been a part of her, the shankh...

Arnav comes to his senses and turns around to leave while she looks on, as always he can't just leave, her pull is too strong, he has to stop once more to look at her, and out of habit she returns the look..so much said in unspoken words.

he always does it, looks back to see her reaction.

Khushi stands there holding, looking and feeling the dupata that just made things a little more official for her, La comes out and naturally takes her dupatta back. KHushi looks as if she is losing a part of herself, not wanting to let go, she watched helplessly that look on her face again, one of immense saddness and pain when she is reminded of La's rights on him... what a powerful scene!

La is upset that Khushi's plan didn't work, so Khushi tries and cheer her up. Some girly moments follow discussing "bway" friends, Salman Khan and dance masti and ofcourse a good pillow fight. "Mr. too mature for all this" Arnav walks in, Khushi sees him first and her reaction is hilarious, especially when s he puts her foot on the floor but picks it back up like the "maggar macch (crockidile)" is really in the waters.

The scene was absolutely hilarious. Sanaya was brilliant. I actually loved every moves of the dance. I love to dance like khushi all the time and i do with my mom, my nephews and of course with my friends too.

Clearly not pleased with the way his girlfriend is turning out, he doesn't let the chance to bring up her status again. " kabhi fancy dress kabhi yeh sab,that's enough Lavanya (sometime fancy dress, at times all of this, its enough Lavanya)"...Briefly eyeing Khushi to assure a good target, "ladki ke saath rehte rehte tum bhi middle class hoti jaa rahi ho (you becoming middle class')".. He probably would've gone on but Khushi was saved by a phone call from the GH. Bua is asking her to come home immediately.

A frantic khushi returns home only to discover a pleasant surprise, her amma and bauji are here. Sanaya is excellent here as the daughter who missed her parents enormously. Love the scene of Khushi and Shashi later on, as Khushi tried to console her broken father.

The special thing about this scene is how Khushi first tries to cheer him up but then gives up and hugs him. Sashi is the only person in front of whom Khushi feels she doesn't have to be strong. The way she just hugs him and cries with him, just lovely and real.The reveal of what shyaam did to her father deserved a special track dammit!! this closure was much too important, can' only imagine what Khushi would've done to Shyam.

Khushi and her dad's bonding was strong and very sweet.I absolutely agree with you. The cvs showed some unnecessary track, but missed this important track. They had to show Sasshiji's recovery and shyam's revelation from his angle.

Back at the RM, La has taken Khushi's advise and has gathered the whole family and called Arnav back from his office."Why did you call me back...hurry up Lavanya, i'm getting late." Arnav hastens her. As soon as a nervous La spoke, words like "shaadi (marriage)" "Arnav's boiling point was evident...and when she mentioned Khushi's name as her source of inspiration, that boiling point was certain. He looked around watching Di and others laugh and smile at what she was saying... Khushi's words, some rehearsed some reading off the palm of her hand...it was kind of cute, but not to ASR . She asks him to marry her, and he responds with a cold angry look, forcing his hand out of hers and walking away without saying a word.

As soon as he reached the office, he calls Khushi, she pick up and hears her dreaded full name from the rakshas "Khushi Kumaari Gupta."

A marvelous scene , Arnav's reflections shot beautifully here, IMO, to show his internal and external struggles to win against this girl at all costs, on every level.

With her family surrounding her she decided to pretend it was Lavanya, which made for some very funny moments and expressions from the mighty ASR, who was trying to intimidate her with his ASRness.

He scolds her for putting the "marriage" idea in La's head but assures her that things won't go her way, and her response "i'll be there tomorrow and teach you all the rituals...of karva chaut, navaraatri, all the bridal accessories..sub kuchh"🤣

Arnav is angry and confused now "what?"

she hangs up on him, he calls again, she disconnects the line, he tries again as "meri baat koi nahi katta" he is furious! defiance! defiance, defiance...just doesn't sit well with him. To make matters worse La brings a hot lunch much to Arnav's annoyance.

Arnav sends her home and rejects her lunch too...making a huge statement, Eating it would somehow acknowledge and support the marriage idea, considering La's state of mind regarding marriage. Another beautiful layer about this man, he need to be upfront, chrystal clear about everything, no beating around the bushes.

His personality is strong, there is no deceive, no guile there.what he wants he says it candid.

Later when goes home he talks to La "whats the problem, you got me tea in the morning, and that too in clothes like that Khushi Kumaari Gupta wears, then you mad a joke of me and yourself in front of my family by proposing to me, you know i don't believe in marriage..". I get feeling here La's silence triggered frustrations of Khushi's silence, He screams "REACT DAMMIT!(😳) answer me! i told you kucch bhi karna par uss KKG ki tara mat ban na...mujhe aisi koi bhi baat dobara nahin sun ni, shaadi ki to blikul nahi (do anything but don't become like that KKG,...I don't want to hear anything about this again...especially not of marriage)"I was happy to see La demanding some answers, "whats the problem in marriaga? to give a name a relationship?"

He knows she deserves answers which he can't give her, he calmly tells her" i don't want to talk about this again" La gets upset and leaves. His thoughts revert back to KKG, she lefter early but all he heard was her name everywhere. "Khushi Kumaari Gupta, yeh sab tumhari galati hai"(this is all your fault)

he couldn't answer, coz he didn't just want to break her heart by saying,"i don't love you."

The pressures of marriage suddenly from his girlfriend who till now was a good fit for him because "na usse shaadi mein interest hai na mujhe" (she's not interested in marriage and neither am i) as he told his di before La moved in. In addition, Khushi Kumaari Gupta pushing him into chaos every aspect of his life...no wonder he wakes up with a headache...

khushi intruded the sacrosanct place of his mind.so his irritation was indignant.

DROOL CORNER!!!!!!!!!!!!

❤️ the inner struggle! Sobti is BRILLIANT! ❤️❤️😳

It's My Fault

Let go of my veil. What? He asks. Kushi throws boiling hot tea at Arnav. The pain is unbearable but he does bear it. He doesn't show her how much she hurt him but she knows now it was not him holding her veil but the cactus. She has made a mistake, it is all her fault. She tip toes around him, runs away and stops and glances back at him behind the window treatment to see him again. He is in pain. It is all her fault.

Laxmi is in the care of Lavanya. They are outside the house. Lavanya receives a phone call from Pam and tells Laxmi to go take a walk. She says yes she will meet her but don't laugh because she will have a goat with her; it is the only way to get out of the house. It has been such a long time since she has been to the hairdresser.

Anjali is in a tizz, anguished looking for Chote. Something has happened. She asks Kushi does she know where he is, he is hurt, burned badly. Kushi is unbelieving that she has hurt him. Anjali has forgotten the ointment and asks Kushi to go get it. It's all her fault.

Anjali tells ASR to not do his buttons and come sit on the bed so she can soothe his pain with the ointment. He sits and she asks him how did hot tea …Kushi starts and he interrupts her, "it's nothing, Di." Why ASR save her? Why not let her take blame? Afterall, it's all her fault.

Anjali reminds him that he has a habit since childhood even when a wound was serious of not saying anything, of holding emotion back. Kushi turns to leave and he grabs the ointment from his sister. She turns and watches as he places some ointment on his burnt chest. It hurts…both him and her, as well as his sister. All are in pain but we know that it is all Kushi's fault. Di leaves and Kushi is there with him she outside his room. They look at each other and she wants to explain and he slams the door on her face.

She turns away and says to herself, "this time it's my fault."

Lavanya has lost Laxmi and she is freaking out! It's all her fault, she was on the phone engrossed in conversation with Pam, when Laxmi ran away. She goes to Mami. Gets an earful and Mami tells La that she should invest in stamps because her relationship with Arnav will only be through letters because she's going far away! So funny! What to do? What to do? They are both thinking. Do you smell the wood burning?

Kushi is in deep thought. She remembers when she burnt her fingers on a toast and that hurt so much. It must be worse by hot tea. She is thinking about how much pain he must be in. She needs to apologize.

He is at poolside, his shirt unbuttoned below the burn on his chest, Kushi tentatively walks up to him. As he turns she averts her eyes from the sight of his burn and he asks, What are you doing here?" She hesitates, "I, actually, …I didn't mean to do that. I never burned anyone before. I thought you grabbed my dupatta but you didn't." She becomes hysterical and he is uncomfortable. He walks towards her as if to comfort her but he has a gardening trowel in his hand and looks rather threatening and she steps back. He looks and realizes. She says he is weird/ funny? (sorry translation), and she confesses to him her sins, the sugar cubes in his gas tank, juice in his shoes. "Mango juice?" She says she couldn't find orange juice. Then she through hot tea at him (not really purposely). He is smirking a little, almost smiling. Therefore she wants to apologize. Through tears, "please forgive me, please!" She is crying, he hands her a box of tissues. She uses her dupatta to blow her nose. He is grossed out! She has said all she had to say and she will leave. It was all her fault! "Unbelievable", he says.

Mami brings in an imposter of Laxmi. It has a black spot and so they must cover it up with makeup. Kushi comes and realizes that this is not Laxmi. Lavanya is trying to shoo Kushi away like she shoos Laxmi, but that is not going to work. Kushi tells Lavanya she is not doing well when it comes to the Naniji department. She must be careful. Kushi wants her to go look for her but Lavanya and Mami says they will handle it. They take the imposter and go. Kushi is afraid for what might happen. Nani and Anjali are together, Nani can't wait to see her Laxmi. They bring her and she asks where her clothes are. Puzzled looks are on their faces. Uh, oh! It's all Lavanya's fault.

Kushi says Lavanya is wrong. She must go look for Laxmi before things get worse.

If anything happens it will be all their faults!
