Welcome to yet another edition of Reflections ... the 'Saansein Rukjaayengi Special' ...
Have been doing my peep in peep outs these days .. but as promised i wanted to write on the "great fall of Khushi Kumari Gupta" episode so here goes ... before i go into the 'Khushi fall' ... i want to ask u the reader a simple question ... WHO REALLY FELL THAT DAY ????
I am sure all of u connected this episode with the post Heer Ranjha episode .. where Khushi trips once again & is about to fall & Arnav saves her .. but this time instead of leaving her hand .. he pulls her back .. how many of u actually cried .. "loop closed' that day ... š ...
Well obviously this scene ( the office fall) .. does find its connect to post Heer Ranjha episode ... BUT ..the sleuth in me .. hardly ever rests with the obvious connects ... so here goes ... as usual .. please grab ur remotes ... & lets connect the dots ...
EPISODE 17 ...
"Ek baar jo maine tumhara haath chhod diya .. toh mein dobara nahi pakdoon ga ... "
Tha famous dialog which created a furore in this forum ... "shaadi nahi hogi' waala furore ... at that point of time .. a couple of my friends ( we used to chat up on the episode) asked me frantically .. shud we remove the wedding banner from DC .. shaadi ho gi ya nahi .. ??
Well today u know SHAADI TOH HUI .. & DC was the only place on this FORUM .. which celebrated shaadi .. from the day .. Arnav said i will marry my wife again .. we never stopped celebrating .. even when news feeds were being poured on how the shaadi will not happen ...
Now let me explain why ... cause ... Haath toh pahle hi chhod chuka tha Arnav ...
So lets connect the dots ... this relationship .. started with Arnav leaving Khushi's hands ... but could he leave her ... ???
So back to my question .. who really fell that day ????
Did Khushi fall that day .. or did Arnav .. ??? cause after that one day .. HE NEVER LET HER FALL ... after that day .. he only offered her help .. (grudgingly sometimes .. sometimes clandestinely ... sometimes in anger .. sometimes in pity .. sometimes in the one emotion that was the underlying factor to all these emotions .. LOVE ... ) ..
So thats about Arnav .. now lets look at Khushi .. she says ... " Aapke bachane se humein girna manzoor hai" ... brave words .. & so untrue ... was this the woman .. who marched into Arnav's office & asked him for her job back .. WHY ??? when according to what she spouted he was a rude ... egotistic .. man ... but did she ever doubt his integrity .. no .. she somewhere in her heart believed in his FAIR PLAY ... so she walked up & "demanded" her right to her JOB back ..
now connect this to Payal's dialog ... "woh office uska hai .. woh naukri uski hai" ... but Khushi correctly judged Arnav ... yes he was rude .. yes he had anger issues .. BUT ... he would be fair ... whats more ... their passion for each other .. may have been hidden from the world .. but .. they knew about it ... SO BOTH knew .. a CHALLENGE issued would be answered ... the bait will be accepted ...
Someone on DC once said .. their love was hidden .. there were no obvious love moments ... oh well that was enumerated by NK as well .. right .. Now let me ask you one simple question ... WHAT WAS ALL THIS .. CHALLENGE & FIGHT .. this was the most INTENSE PASSIONATE LOVE FOREPLAY ...
hence .. what this forum called 'manhandling' ... was a passionate clinch that the makers were giving u ... pls note .. Arnav only held KHUSHI to himself .. when she attempted to walk away from him ... that was the passionate foreplay ... & the foundation of which was laid in episode 17 ...
if u have read me in the past ... on DC .. i have always maintained that 'challenging each other' is the basis of their love ... so lets look at this ..
In this episode ... Arnav challenges Khushi .. he offers her employment with a strong caveat ... a prize which Khushi would never be able to pay .. & one which Arnav would never collect ... SO why this elaborate ruse ..???? ... Did u ever give a thot .. why would a man of Arnav's stature .. need to speak to a low down employee in his company ... would he need an excuse to 'engage' ... & this was his excuse to engage .. a constant need to challenge her .. see how much of her boundary will he be able to breach ...
All their challenges were the same ... now lets look at the outcome of this challenge ... Arnav won .. Khushi claimed victory ... š Now look at all their challenges ... Arnav wins .. but Khushi claims victory ... simply ... cause what Arnav wants to achieve from the challenge .. " the prize" if u please ... HE GETS ... HE IS ALWAYS the winner ...
to explain this ... lets forward to Gupta House ... Khushi goes back to live in GH after kidnapping track .. (buaji not well part).. Arnav grabs the doctors prescription .. & to release the same Asks for a KISS .. KHUSHI thinks she has tricked him when she snatches the paper out of his hands ... BUT ... Arnav walks upto her ... & kisses her .. saying ... I NEVER LOOSE A CHALLENGE ...
The outcome of this challenge was also predetermined by Arnav .. he would win ... but his prize was not Rs. 1,00,000/- ... his prize was a Khushi who would succumb to him ... a kHushi who would "ask for his help" .. not demand .. a KHUSHI who WOULD NEED HIM ...
I asked you all a simple question in the first DC ... what would happen if KHUSHI when she next met Arnav .. would be a subdued , scared Khushi & not the guns blazing cursader .. would Arnav's reactions be the same ... ??? i am hoping the answer to this is clear by now to all of u ... IF Khushi would have been subdued .. u would not get 398 episodes of pure bliss ... cause a subdued KHUSHI .. would have been a VICTIM khushi .. & that would be the end of the story ...
Arnav Singh Raizada was a man who was the quintessential Alpha Male .. his need to be the PROTECTOR .. was paramount .. hence throughout IPK .. all u got was ... his need to protect his sister ... the day he met Khushi .. he felt those same emotions in his heart .. a need to hold & protect ... BUT .. BUT .. BUT ... Crusader Kumari Gupta ... had her own agenda ... she was also a protector .. she far from wanting protection .. wanted to GIVE PROTECTION ... ( the reason she doesnt tell the truth to Arnav about Shyam is to protect him .. anjali was a byproduct) ... so when 2 alpha species meet ... TAKRAR to HONA HI THA ... hence it was called ... ISS PYAAR KO KYA NAAM DOON ??? ( & not Di KI Saut) ...
back to the episode ... the fall ...
Now if u have seen the episode on TV on its first run ... there is a most interesting moment .. which never failed to grab me just before the fall ...
before Arnav let Khushi fall .. he takes a slight look down ... he sees the boxes .. he knows that there are boxes down ... only then does he say .. the words .. which he knows .. will bring her BACK TO HIM ... & he will not have to ask her to come to him .. he says ..
"Mein toh bhool gaya tha .. Girna toh tumhari fitrat mein hai" ...
There the challenge was issued ... he knew .. she would come back to him .. guns blazing .. & they could indulge in their verbal foreplay ...
Lets look at this dialog now .. "girna toh tumhari fitrat mein hai" ... what Arnav forgot to say here was ... "aur bachana meri fitrat mein hai" ... coz isnt that what was the TRUTH of IPK ... Khushi with her passionate nature stumbled into fixes .. from which Arnav always unravelled her ... be it knowingly or unknowingly ... he was her saviour .. & she was the balm which calmed his soul ...
Now look why he leaves her hands ... cause here Arnav was being all heroic .. saving his damsel in distress ... but instead of being sweet & all thank you to him .. she says ... i dont want ur protection .. I DONT WANT or NEED YOU ... whoops & she lights his fuse ...š
Since i have already written about the challenge above am skipping that ... lets move to the other most defining moment of IPK ...
" saansein ruk jaayengi"
After the almost kiss .. this is one FB which was constantly played out in IPK .. if the almost kiss was the acknowledgement to INTENSE PASSION & LUST .. this saansein ruk jaayengi .. was the basis of the acknowledgement of the DEEPER FEELINGS they both shared ...
Anji says .. u will not know when the girl comes into your life .. & becomes a part of your life .. wasnt that exactly what happened ... YEs he was intensely attracted to the girl ... but never at that moment did he think she was his LIFE .. she crept up on him .. she became a part of his life (his family) .. then one fine day .. he realised HER IMPORTANCE ... HER EXISTENCE WAS IMPORTANT FOR HIS EXISTENCE ...
The best part of this scene was .. when Anji says .. u dont want to marry or u dont want to marry Lavanya ... ??? now grab ur remote & move to the episode where La leaves & anji comes in the next morning .. telling Arnav i am ok with it .. since u dont love her ... ( thats the crux of the dialog) ... Anjali always knew Arnav did not LOVE la .. but she wanted to see her brother settled ... she wanted to go live her own life .. & wanted that special someone who her brother could live his life with ..
Now lets look at the most important use of this dialog in IPK ...
This dialog .. 'saansein ruk jaayengi" was a firm belief of Anjali's ... she believed in love ... she believed in the power of LOVE .. now lets forward to when Anji is angry with Arnav (post Shyam track ...) ... Anjali feels abandoned by Arnav .. .. its at that point ... Arnav tells her .. "u used to tell me there will be a woman in my life without whom i cant contemplate life ... well that woman is KHUSHI ) ..
bang .. one sentence 2 results ... Anji first feels that Arnav her Chottey is back .. he cares enuf to remember all that she had taught him .. remember she mothered him .. & 2 .. she knows the power of love .. she believed in LOVE .. & today she saw her brother acknowledge the word LOVE for the first time ... she totally succumbs to Arnav then .. & the next day .. makes the move to embrace her brothers love ... to me that spoke about the deep love that these 2 sibs shared ...
hence the saasein ruk jaayengi dialog .. had so much more meaning than .. describing the dhak dhak between Arnav & Khushi .. the saasein ruk jaayengi .. was the DEFINITION OF LOVE in IPK ... a definition which was taught by a loving sister to her brother ... but the actual meaning of that sentence was taught much later by a chit of a girl called KHUSHI ...
PHEW tired out .. there are so many more interconnected dots to this episode ... it kind of lays a base to the love story which was Arnav & Khushi .. but .. short on time today .. so promise another day .. another DC to discuss that with you ...
Now on DC 14 .. Chitmanas put up a post ... Chits is someone whose posts i love .. so if u have the time please do peep into that one as well ... Chits post as she says is a bit contrarion to mine .. but .. truly as i read it .. i loved it .. Chits .. i dint feel that the post was contrarion at all .. the crux of our posts were the same .. š
Now just one point in answer .. since a couple of questions were put up on that post of urs (Chits).. so here goes .. this is about Payal not realising KHUSHI was in love with Arnav ...
In the episodes till date .. there is no reason for payal to guess that .. as the WRONG DOINGS of Arnav are tantamount in her mind .. Arnav was a major reason for her marriage breaking .. for which she knew Khushi blamed herself .. whatsmore .. he was also the reason KHUSHI had to face abject public embarrassment ... so there is no reason for Payal to question Khushi's single minded focus on Arnav .. ofcourse its justified .. later on ... i am guessing a lot of u forgot .. KHUSHI WaS sent to Shantivan .. to TRAIN .. Arnav Singh Raizada's would be WIFE ... Lavanya Kashyap ... so why would Payal ever guess that KHUSHI was on her way to falling in love with Arnav .. ( have explained the rest in my post ) .
A small note : please friends dont hesitate to post Contrarion POVs .. thats the reason we started DC ... one doesnt have to be defensive u can simply come here & post ur POV .. which may or may not be similar to the writers here ... how else will we LOVE our show more .. unless a different angle is shown ...
ENJOY READING ...
CU AT THE IPKS ...
The episode for ur viewing pleasure ...
