I will just reiterate that thing black, bang on.. he was just in a wrong company.. even from the start, where NOONE seemed have much appreciated this hard working, family dedicated guy but were just hell bent on portraying all his ways to be wrong. Hamare saath hua hootha.. we would have pretty much retained the true heart of gold he is intact... just a little tweaking.. that any one would need!!

Episode 152

The Ultimatum

Kushi has refused his ride she goes to walk home and NK insists he goes with her. She leaves leaving ASR and NK standing there. NK asks Arnav what happened why is Kushi behaving that way? Arnav doesn't answer and NK runs after Kushi.

Anjali and Nani are talking and Nani says to Anjali it would have been nice if she went to the party she could have met Kushi's fianc. Oh yes Nani doesn't know and now she is thinking about inviting them over so she can meet him. Now it is time to tell Nani the truth. Anjali tells a shocked Nanji. ASR overhears the conversation. Nani says she didn't say anything because of others happiness and she hopes Kushi's sorrow is lessened now. He remembers what he did to her at the party.

I love this casual ASR he looks so cute collared shirt under a sweater, jeans and matching sneakers, Just adorable. He goes down waiting for …where the hell is NK? Why isn't he back yet? Why the hell isn't he receiving my call? He paces back and forth. It shouldn't take this much time to drop her.

Kushi and NK are walking to her home and he asks what happened. Why is her mood so off? Did Nanav say something to her he wants to know? She says she is not going to let anything anyone says bother her. NK says that great and high fives her calling her his Desi girl. He reminds her to come tomorrow the photographer will be at the RM. They bid each other good night.

The lion is pacing. The cub has just entered the den. ATTACK!

"Where the hell have you been NK? I have been trying to reach you for a long time."

NK responds, "Hey Nanav, relax. Why are you getting so angry? My Phone was on silent; I didn't want to disturb my date."

Eyes go wide. I can see some smoke coming out of ASR's ears.

NK:"You know she was like…"

ASR: "Answer the G-damn phone next time!"

He leaves abruptly and angrily leaving NK puzzled.

The next morning, Mami and Anjali are talking about the choreographer and Mami refuses to take part. She says she has agreed to the wedding because everyone else already had agreed but now she will make her own decisions of what she will partake in and this is a no.

Anjali, NK and Nani are looking through the cd's and Nani says Manorama is avoiding because she frightened of the choreographer. The doorbell rings it must be Kushi and Payal. NK jumps up to get the door. He answers and calls Kushi his Desi girl again and jumbles aagin his Hindi. Payal questions and Kushi says she knows what he wants to say. NK says she knows the words of his heart. Anjali calls to NK let them inside and he says to come in. Payal and Nk go inside, Kushi goes to shut the door and in comes ASR from his workout. She turns he calls to her and she stops. He says to her perhaps he shouldn't have spoken to her like that. She answers him perhaps? She walks away leaving him and his remorse.

The next scene is all about the strictness of the choreographer. Payal and Kushi are worried. Akash enters and they give each other the look! Anjali and Nani talk about the choreographer and her work in films and how she doesn't like anybody to change her steps. She warns Kushi. NK tells Anjali that Kushi gave a wonderful performance in her Desi style last night. He gives her the puppy dog smile. I expect him to wag his tail next.

The chorographer has come. Introductions have been made. She brings Payal next to Akash and says that they are blushing so much they should save some for their suhaag raat. Everyone's eyes go wide, a bold woman she is! She says she is missing someone and in come ASR talking on the phone he hangs up and the rest is history. She says he must dance, he tells her doesn't dance , she says listen to the story and she proceeds to describe the program which would end with the bride and groom's siblings pairing up. He stands there with his ASR face and Kushi with her eyes wide. NK claps it's amazing and asks what is he suppose to do and she tells him to handle the props. She looks between ASR and Kushi and says that's the look she needs. He says it isn't needed, she asks why and he says because he won't dance with her. He means he doesn't want to dance.

Nk and Madhu's ass't or son? Talk about a film she worked on when an actor said the same thing as ASR. Nk says what happened. He answers an ultimatum. Choreographer stays or actor. Actor stayed. ASR has refused to dance and Madhu has given an ultimatum. Either the bride's sister and groom's brother dance together or she won't choreograph their program.

Everyone is looking at Chotey.

"Okay fine!" he says. He calls Nk says he is also the groom's brother so he will dance. He will be ASR's replacement after a good hard slap on the back by Arnav. NK says he is ready!!! Madhu says she will check, Kushi seems to have her eyes to the floor (was it after she looked at Arnav?) and then it will do.

Everyone is in position and she calls NK Mr. Cartoon. Get ready place your hand on her back, ASR stops dead in his tracks. Someone else will place his hand on Kushi even in an innocent way.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, ASR, that's what happens when you choose the wrong answer for

The Ultimatum!

that was deadly reading... yes a beautiful man, and really this whole thing was oh well. horizon, yeah, you want to do your thing, throw your own party. pretty uninspired writing and let's do as we please with khushi, after all she's so pretty, the audience will buy anything. not good. and really not good for khushi.

issk, that para on the rich arrogant tycoon pretty much carrying it off on his own without much help from any quarter, 👏 👏 👏 i too found a lot of these episodes a bit loose and pointless in parts, trying hard to set up something, but while looking up episodes came across the your engagement just broke you say bit. tomorrow, must. 2.23am. better go to sleep. good night all. achha, i want to hear him say, good night to her and a sweet dreams too.

loved all of it, esp the pink wallah lines.

Durga, I am going to award you a "Sahana Veera Chakra" for tolerating the different names, the diff language,😆 it is a language I love to the core, yet just can't see it on these! I tried a one epi, enough to put me off. Guess my patience levels are really low, no wonder I wanted to award ASR the same award for putting up with his Pagal biwi!:).

But perhaps mute and watch, as anyway, we have all dialogues memorized.😆 That home coming of ASR was truly something. Thanks for remembering my words.

Wah! What a birudu! Thanks. 😆 But honestly speaking, I've been skipping episodes of late. Watching only the ones with great scenes. As I had said earlier, it took me some time to get used to those voices. It is still cringy at times, but the original dialogues playing in my head, those are louder than the ones on TV. So, manage somehow. Mute and watch didn't work for me. I needed that music too. Except for when rabba vey plays, they have retained the bg music otherwise. But actually, I am not happy with the translation too. Leave alone Arnav, everybody else too is using too many English words, including Khushi. Mami's dialogues are 80% English. In one episode Khushi was constantly using the word 'danger'. I thought didn't the translators find a Telugu word for a simple one like 'danger'. It was pathetic. Khushi is someone who by habit doesn't use English words at all. Telugu is such a rich language, but its use is heavily diluted of late. It's very painful when I see this.

It's past midnight and I'm blabbering away. Should go to sleep. Good night and a have a good day everybody. 😊

Was watching epi 4 on TV Asia yesterday, this one dialogue stood out.. no..not the most fabulous Darga scene.. but this line Khushi says to Payal while telling her she met with the same "ladka" again .." uske aas paas char panch log hamesha makkhi ki tarah mandarathe rehthe hain jaise ki who koi "insaan nahin barfi ka tukda" ho" (there are 4/5 people around him like flies all the time as if he not a human being but a piece of dessert!!) God.. trust me I was literally rolling on the floor.. what a symbolism.. (Arshi, apologies my dear) this has to be the greatest of all the symbolism of IPK so widely discussed about.. that HE is NOT human being but a piece of dessert!! 😆Indeed! Ask these fan girls.. who are ready to eat him away!!!😆. Have to go back to thread 1 and see what you girls talked that time!!

episodes 143/4/5/6

in 142, one of the most moving break ups ever and now we are gradually getting ready to flow into an all new phase in asr khushi's life. both will soon be free of their commitments to other people and clash again in a frenzy of wild attraction. why is attraction such a crazy thing? but oh, thank g it is. how would we have the most granular raw fights otherwise which are rage on the outside but a mass of desire, possessiveness, tenderness, yearning within... maybe even love.👏

would like to do look at some scenes that stood out in these episodes.

143
when two girls like the same man it's hard enough, but when they are fond of each other and friends, how much more difficult it must be. especially when one of the girls realises the man of her dreams hasn't chosen her

khushi comes back from rm and has to tell her family there was no way she could tell anjali her husband was a lout. it was interesting to see bua ji and payal exhorting her to do the right thing, while, amma just stood there, almost grateful for this decision. till the end, payal stood firm on her pov, shyam's truth must be told. hiding it would be wrong.

but finally, khushi too felt as did her amma, "jo sach se humari jiji, akash ji, anjali ji sab ko dukh pahunche... woh sach hum nahin bol payenge." the truth which will hurt my jiji, akash, and anjali, that truth i can't speak.

and when payal admonishes her, she snaps back, why should she not want this happiness for her elder sister who has had hardly any reason to smile for so long.

creatives wished us to understand this decision to hide shyam's truth was not taken lightly for no reason, it was a complex issue, and everything seemed to be against a revelation at this present time.

when shyam slimed into his bedroom, anjali was still in a tizzy over khushi's break up, falling apart. shyam, of course thought it was all to do with him and raanisahiba would be slaying him soon. a nicely managed scene, but beyond the the little suspense and drama, what anjali said seemed telling.

"yeh rishtey ret ki tarah kyun hote hain... unhe jitna apni mutthi mein bandh karne ki koshish karo... woh utne hi phisal jaate hain... hum jinke bare mein yeh sochte hain ki yeh sahi hai, inpe vishwaas kiya jaa sakta hai wahi humara bharosa kyun todte hain?"

why are these relationships like sand... the more you try to grasp them in your fist, the more they slip away... the ones we think of as right, as people we can depend on, why do they break our trust?

was she talking about her father somewhere? she possibly the apple of his eye... till one day, suddenly a truth upends all, and then the terrible night. couldn't have been easy for her. there was the wedding that went haywire, an uncle who also turned out to be not what he seemed... a litany of broken relations... in anjali and arnav's life. "wo hi hume taqleef kyun dete hain?" why do these people hurt us. trust is a major issue with both siblings. the long, festering wound of a parent's betrayal.

that someone special slipping through the fingers like sand and disappearing bothered asr immensely much later, even while he pulled khushi's leg, he was so troubled he had to let khushi in a bit more and see his most vulnerable side, also his deepest tendermost self... and take her to maa's garden, the first person he'd ever brought there. both asr and anjali feared that their relationships would break, just as their parents' had. my little feeling.

i rather liked that unreal cute conversation between aap and aap. deepali was a strong payal as was akashaye a lovable, gentle, slightly silly akash. when khsuhi took the phone and pretended to be payal, i remembered my mother actually did that with her sister's boy friend, only to hear things she really didn't want to, hyuk.

"kijiye na.. koi baat. waise aap kal aa rahe hain na?" sanaya was of course corny and cute... say something... you are coming tomorrow aren't you?

"kya?" akash, clueless... what's new.

"kya? kya!" what? what! "kal humari sagai hai... aap nahin aayenge toh hume angoothi kaun pahnayga..." tomorrow is our engagement, if you don't come who'll put the ring on my finger?

but by then asr is holding the phone, akash having slammed the it on him in desperation and disappeared.

"main..." starts the man, no idea what's up.

somewhere in all of this the shadi maskara, the wedding mood and fun and games start. a huge part of indian weddings, it's typical, this contour of looniness and ott everything. the whole bride's side, groom's side "rivalry." the teasing and clowning, and the endless rituals and customs.

a prank on a phone call seemed to say, it's all here.

suddenly he can't take it and lashes out in a terse voice, completely throwing her.

"yakin toh mujhe nahin ho raha hai ki tum abhi tak pehchaan nahin paai ki akash nahin main bol raha hoon." i can't believe that you still haven't recognised, it's not akash, i am speaking. so he's angry with her in the way he always is... but a bit miffed too? she didn't know it was "main," the only "i" she knows. unthinkable.

"hic..." khushi's cogent repartee.


"haan main bol raha hoon." yes i am talking. no name, just like that pyaar of ipk. we should all know who he is. and oh don't we all.

woke up the whole episode, these few seconds. brilliant. the sheer power of asr and barun's portrayal, and the intensely layered communication between asr and khushi. the rest of episode at one tonal level, and then a quick burst of gunfire, rat a tat a tat... back again to even tone.

I absolutey agree what you said about Anjali. Khushi's break up stirred Anjali so much that she just couldn't accept it. Anjali has faced so much deception in her life that made her weak. sigh she had to go through the same phase in her life too. May be that's why she was in denial for a long time.ArshiH mentioned that Anjali might know about shyam long before, but she intentionally veneered it. She might preferred to be delusional.

By the way I loved the traditional style of leg pulling and teasing in our desi wedding.


144
but lavanya you don't have to...

yet she has to...

"please kuch mat bolo..." please don't say anything. lavanya is packed and ready to leave. once the engagement of payal and akash is done, she will go. i wonder why she keeps insisting that he say nothing; even later, the constant refrain, don't blame asr. methinks the writers try too hard. it's ok, asr is human, if he's made a mistake, he has, and he is to blame for some things too. he is moving in the right direction vis a vis their relationship, as is la, no one is to blame more or less... some relationships are just not meant to be, as a says later. that take was good and plausible.

My perception is La knew from the beginning that ASR never loved her. His commitment was coerced and against his will. That's why she couldn't blame him or had any grudge.

the woman in red tonight is la, yet asr isn't looking at her. it was never the colour, was it?

of course not the color. It is always the person.

the gift is here. and a nice round of practicing in front of the door... when i met you first you didn't believe in marriage and look at you now.
of course, he has to open the door just then and surprise the confidence out of her.

one look. "kya?" gruff, irritated. swoonworthy.

"tum mere liye gift layi ho?" you got a gift for me? now why am i thinking, it's a loaded statement... yeah she does bring the gift of life and love to him, becoming the reason for him to open up and feel alive after so many years. also, tonight maybe she herself is a gift for him, at last, he's not bound to someone else... for the first time since he's met her, there's no one else in his life. a feeling of subtext all through.👏👏👏

"nahin... uh...lavanya ji ke liye bhi... aapki sagai hai na... matlab dono ki... congra... badhai." no, uh, for la too, it's your engagement... i mean, bot of yoy... congratulations. she's stammering and on edge instantly.

the eyes are saying so many things.

not only for the engagement... for being the guy who didn't believe in these things yet made sure jiji and akash did get together and is himself getting tied in a relationship now.

he's thoughtful... bordering on pensive... no smart comebacks.

what's up, asr?

again felt like he was thinking of saying something to her, but she's called away...

"hum aapke liye aur lavanya ji ke liye bahut khushh hai... " i am really happy for you and lavanya. she pauses, a sadness in her slipping through.

"huum chalte hain..." i 'll go.

a nod. that's all.

she turns away as though she wanted to hear something. both look disturbed... a a sense of good taste... he looks at her gift.

only the music records the uncertainties, the discomfort, the turmoil.

la cries by herself... when your heart breaks it just does. he walks into her room.


she turns away, wipes her tears, "asr, tumhare poochne se pahle main tumhe batana chahti hoon... i'm fine." asr, before you can ask let me tell you, i am fine. la really was the girl who got asr... but he wanted someone who confounded him, who never wiped her tears like that, whose every tear bothered him, each and every time. c'est la vie.

145

akash ji held payal ji's hand... haww.

the handsome couple descends. nani and la joke about dancing, nani pushes her to dance. salaam e ishq, salaam oh love, and two girls dance to celebrate the evening dedicated to ishq. payal and akash look ecstatic, the audience gathers to cheer, merriment all around. and then that moment.

he stands there looking at the dancers, his eyes only on her. she notices that... so does la. but he has eyes only for khushi. today he just wants to stand there looking at her, no questions, no explanations, nothing. he is a free man, and perhaps at last something within him feels it.

yet he is concerned about la, he's trying to do the right thing, so he calls aside his family and tells them it's over between them.

and we have one of those very few times in ipk when every face is focused on for reaction shot... ah, it is a hindi serial after all, brand architecture demands a sequence like this, think i.

in the meantime, khushi has found out. chamkili knows and cannot chill, as suggested by la... "aap bole ya na bole isske zimmedar bhi wohi honge" whether you say so or not, he must be responsible for this too, says she with accusation darting off her eyes... well, he is in away, but it's you too actually.

"and that said, let's not take away happiness from the new couple."

khushi dives in to protect la from him... that rakshas. who is looking absolutely smashing in his gala band, the very first time so formally dressed.

mere roja mukhroo maat karo.

146
she's angry... storming at him.

"khushi tum iss tarah kyun..." khushi, why are you... he's perplexed by her behaviour. and really, why is she slamming into him so aggressively. who is she to him? who is he to her? what right, really? yet, she started assuming she had some sort of right a while ago, didn't she? and he never really stopped her... despite his "tum hoti kaun ho?" what splendid intimacy, this attitude of "haq."

"aap har baar hamari nazron mein yeh sabid kar dete hain ki aap arnav singh raizada hain..." you always prove that you are arnav singh raizada indeed.

"khushi, tumhe pata nahin hai ki kya hua..." khushi, you don't know what has happened...

she retorts, when you're there, not difficult to know what must have happened...

he has to hold her hand and drag her to his little space... naturally.

rollicking argument ensues.

he: what you don't know about you needn't speak about!

she: zaroorat hai (there's a need to). you have to tell me this time what's your excuse for breaking la's heart..

he: listen to me...

he's gentler tonight. she's the aggressor. but why so angry? is la incapable of defending herself? or is khushi upset because of something else? maybe something in her needs to know that he can commit? or perhaps somewhere deep inside she'd felt terrible at the thought of him with someone else, and now the guilt of that is sort of niggling. complex this whole thing. that's why maybe he even tolerates it.👏
I adore the possessiveness between them.

she: don't want to listen, you were right you don't understand feelings, only the language of money and power...

alas, if only she knew...

another brilliant exchange, this time between chamkili and la. a frenetic air all around... chamkili won't let la leave. a loaded tug of war between the two with la's dress. they both want the same... person. someone must let go.

when things settle a bit, khushi tries to bring back joy... some day we'll both find our raj kumar. and if i should get married first, you must come to my wedding.

"main nahin aa paaoongi.." i won't be able to come, acatch in her voice... a pensive la as memories of asr yelling at khushi with concern, "main, bas, main bas aisa hi hoon," and him watching khushi dance, float by.

then, a lovely handover, la style... "chamkili, tumhe mere liye aur ek kaam karna hoga... asr." chamkili, you have to do one more job for me... asr.

"tumhe asr ka khayal rakhna hoga..." you have to take care of asr.

khushi steps back, letting go of la's hands.

"sirf tumhi ek ho jo usse woh sab kah paati ho jo wo nahin sunna chate... i mean asr ko kya chahiye yeh unhe khud hi nahin pata... par tum tum toh samajhdar ho na khushi"

only you can tell him all those things he doesn't want to hear... i mean, what asr wants he himself doesn't know... but you understand things.

"ji?" khushi can't see where this is going, a tad uncomfortable.

"aaj nahin toh kal tum samajh jaogi... chahe asr samjhe ya na samjhe..." one of these days, you'll understand, whether asr does or doesn't.

a large loving hug. in parting.

la leaves... a girl who changed all she could about herself to be loved by a man and his family, though he never asked her to. maybe she lost him here, but she also found love and respect from his family... and when the original la returns once the dust settles, there will perhaps be a positive change left in her from this whole experience.

a scene that sticks. anjali asks, "par hua kya hai chhote... hume batao toh sahi..." but what's happened chhotey (why are you braeking up), at least tell me.

"bata deta..." grits teeth. would have told you... then he can't go on. i wonder why. is it because he still has no idea... or is finding it impossible to fathom these feelings... or because he still has no idea that she is free... like him?

But Khushi already told him about her broken alliance. He was just in nonpluss situation. He is too introvert to express his feelings. Isn't he? how can he say to Anjali that he is in love with Khushi.
