Indi di I have been thinking about what you wrote above about Khushi and you are absolutely right. I guess it is our opinion and some people may differ but I also think she wouldn't have reacted this way. The girl who was willing to get carried away on Diwali had progressed so much in her relationship with this man. I am willing to understand why khushi wanted to complete the wedding..maybe she was young and her sense of right and wrong overshadowed what already felt natural and right to her. But we are talking about post kidnapping so Khushi had already acknowledged all the love in her heart for her Arnavji and also knew how much he cared about her. And if she felt just because they hadn't taken pheras they aren't really married it somehow makes me very sad. It undermines everything that their love has withstood.When Arnav on the terrace says "don't our feelings matter? and who are these people anyway?" I felt so proud of him and also so bad for him. His wife should have understood him. Even when everyone was making the big fuss about the wedding being incomplete he kept saying "whats the big deal? Why are you making this so big?". "I am willing to marry my wife again" sort of vindicated him.

I can't tell you how happy I was that they showed the farmhouse scene before the marriage. i wasn't expecting it but it was very very welcome. Khushi and Arnav in their own world. Drawn together by love and desire and not bound by the shackles of worldly right and wrong. When Arnav utter "Khushi.." trying hard to resist the urge and when Khushi not only surrenders but embraces the feeling. perfect! Also when Khushi wakes up the next day there is one fleeting moment when sanaya does express the wonder of the night before. I would have absolutely adored a more pink blushing sharmati Khushi even when she spoke to Arnav on the phone instead of the sort of over chirpy Khushi we get to see. But then am so thankful she did not regret it that I will happily will take her acceptance and not ask for more.

Then coming to the Sheetal track. It seemed so unreal that Khushi would only be worried about Aarav. Why didn't they show her being more hurt or getting jealous? Where is the "uske baal noch lenge". Confused ok but is it this easy to accept such a thing? Not even ask Arnav about it? And when he denied it not believe him? Just dismiss it all? A real girl can't be this way right? And a woman madly in love with her husband definitely can't be so lightly touched by all this. I get it that they wanted to keep the mood light but why? The early revelation of her engagement to Shyam and his to Lavanya had brought such raw emotions onto screen and then something this big just got undermined. It just felt off.

Sorry for rushing ahead with the story lines.. we will come to it some day but your post had me obsessing about all this. The newly remarried Khushi even make up wise I felt was suspiciously a little "too pink" and very rarely seemed to care about what Arnav really wanted. It hurt me to see this change. Your words expressed the vague feeling i always had about what went wrong.

Episode 227

The episode starts with a gentle reminder of the hurt by shaitaan while a pair of restless eyes follow the clock straining to hear an aahat of the girl who has turned his world upside down never to be the same again. How hard he tries to fool himself.."who cares!".. Fark toh padta hai.. and you know it Arnavji.. Otherwise why would you pretend to sleep while Khushi confides in her confidant Lakshmiji. It is almost 3 days I think in the show and still the hurt lingers in Khushi. She doesn't want to show her face to him the whole day and will only return into the room after he has slept. Though I do find sleeping at 9:00 a little too early for anyone!

But however much she may try Arnav's eyes have found what they have missed for so long. verrry nice sentence 😃His intense stare at a sleeping Khushi holds me spellbound. leaves me with a feeling of a weary traveller finding an oasis in a hot desert. How thirsty is he for her sight and it amazes me how each look becomes so meaningful. When finally Arnav sleeps I sigh in peace because that is what radiates of the image before me. And then we are treated to another pair of eyes. Honest clear who search for reassurance of a presence. And having found that surrender into dreams of that very person ..her own rajkumar..

An indulgent brother talks to his sister.. I feel touched at Anjali's concern for Khushi and Arnav's happiness. Her words had insight when she says it looks like Khushiji is searching for happiness. To which a grumpy ASR replies.. atleast she is happy.. but di won't be shooed away so easily.. "Chote tum aise kyu ho? ...Kaise di? " Very natural conversation and acting between Barun and Daljeet. We usually don't want others interfering in our lives even though they may be right in their assessment of the situation. Di gives up thinking she can get a better response out of our very own sanka devi,

Maybe she doesn't know what we are silently learning that the days of the Khushi we know are soon getting over. When Anjali explained how chote never likes demonstration of love it left me wondering why.. But when she says he is used to her affection by now and if Khushi tries he will surely respond I remember the ethereal letter their mother had left behind.. "Humare chote ki naakh pe bahut sara gussa rehta hai and dil mein dher sara pyaar...gussa bardasht karna aur pyaar soot samet lautana.. " Simple words describing such a complex man and how to handle him.. Are we left wondering if this is the reaction that Anjali's words should have got out of Khushi.. She who cares about others so much that hides all evidence of her pain from them..how can she not thaw after this? Fascinating is a character who has forced a girl to marry him and yet my heart goes out to him. wants to protect him from the trouble. feels sorry for him as much if not more than the girl fiercely in her weird ott way battling the gloom he has brought in her life. Will she be this way after Anjali tries explaining? Maybe she would because all the times she fought with ASR even when they met the first few times she always spoke more than she intended to.. her anger more potent than actually needed.. and the pull more strong than explainable.. So yes maybe she would spend this day showering her loovveee "laad ... Pyaar" on her husband..

The test drive begins.. In walks ASR tired from a day's work and a scheming planning crazy but cute girl waits to do her kartavya.. "mm no..i don't want any kartavya..stop this ok.. " "damn the kartavya" .. I cannot write anything more about this dialogue than simply quote it!!! he is remembering the jooce in the shoes.. the first time we saw this man curve a lip upwards. i am yet to write 75, the episode of that smile... just so full of something extraordinary, you can almost see a heart flip and never quite settle back again... love in its initial murmurings... only ipk has ever shown it to me like that. hint of a smile which we had no idea would brighten so many lives.. even in his bewildered suspicion we see his urgent concern masked as always "as it is you can't walk straight and you have a dupatta covering your head" .. Khushi still has a lot up her sleeve.. Smiling coyly she mouths "Sath nibahan sathiya" and Arnav has this incredulous gaping look.. he knows his crazy wife is planning something but for the life of him he has no idea what..

Am quickly skimming over all dreaded references to Miss B.. 🤣 🤣 🤣 But am left wondering Payal calls her husband by his name..no ji.. doesn't wear a salwar suit to sleep .. knows what happens in a bhachelor party.. maybe she is the more informed of the two sisters. There were a few scenes where her progressive thinking and strength was shown. her handling of the undesirable boss who had brought her unconscious sister home after a terribly trying day.. acceptance of the boon of a broken wedding.. the character did have a glimmer of potential.. actually a lot of potential, but alas. 😆 and the funny part was while payal and akash were being merrily finished off by thecproduction house and creatives, the audience was blamed, seemed we wanted only asr kkg that's why. no one ever ever ever acknowledged that the forced marriage onward, they could not write a meaningful story any more and that's why trp suffered, we hankered for asr kkg, the rest was so bizarrely minus thought anyway.



Early morning a still veiled Khushi moves forward with her emotional atyachar (term borrowed from sbs segment). We watch a hand raised of own accord.. caress the lock of hair on his forehead while he sleeps on.. Glimpse of the Khushi I so badly want to hold on to.. when there is so much love in the heart it almost spills out.. can't be hidden and in these rare moments we see that in Khushi.. he wasn't irritated by the lock so it was not out of concern.. just the inexplicable attraction to touch.. a mirror to the scene long ago in a lonely guesthouse.. two orphans very similar in some shades yet a whole rainbow of colors separating them in all others... lovely thought. But Khushi can't be sidetracked.. Stern reminder that this is time of war.. duty calls.. no time for love.. or more like all the time to start showing the love!

Hysterically funny dialogues are to follow.. sleepy groggy eyes and a grumpy face.. and why are you doing thsi to me, aarwen? how an actor manages all this is beyond me.. "who the hell is swami? " "apke what the ke karan chai thandi ho ri swami.." tug of war with his leg but he is genuinely perturbed.. "Khushi kya hua hai tumhe" .. "aur ye ghunghat hatao" .. is it my ears or did it really sound that way.. not anger but intimacy.. no stranger can say these words to you and definitely not this way.. amidst all these jokes I see a liberal man.. who doesn't want his wife behaving like a bahu.. who does not like anything traditional and to him "actually Arnav would be just fine".. in fact even laad governer is better.

Sanya with her comic timing is brilliant as always.. her "phis phis parfume" has me giggling ..and arnav's disgruntled air has me in splits.. Walks out with a towel around his torso and the wet hair.. a few days back this sight had disoriented Khushi but now again we witness the increasing familiarity with proximity.. the gradual acceptance that she is his wife.. or maybe this is all in my head and Khushi was just too busy enjoying her scheming and planning working so well to notice anything else... "kaanto wala phool".. Hahaha..and am wondering how Arnavji would look with the garden on him if he did try on the green flowery shirt. She dashes into the wall and am happy because ( apart from the fact that I do that all the time..) for her a worried arnav instinctively yells out. How many times we are shown how "har baar" her slightest "hurt" se fark parta hai.. to me this is love! And somehow even with all the rabba ve's Arshi manage to not be mushy but crazily endearingly "ajeeb" .. And that is what has me hooked on to this show..

Arnav and Aakash always have great scenes together (in this case when one of them is not even on screen).. Akash is the only one who keeps his closet keys with him.. must be something to do with protecting all his red and pink shirts! ASR restorts to what he does best.. yell for Hari Prakash and treat us to some of the exquisite anger!

And finally he walks down in a red shirt.. My take.. he is conscious of his new colorful look yes but for me still very ASR! What's in a dress ? A rose maybe as red.. but ASR will still smell as sweet as the Parfume his wife gave him..

Sohara excellent , fabulous review .loved it to the core of my heart as these are gems of IPK days.

This is what is they both are feeling behind their masks .How ecstatically their inner damn feelings are layering here with each other and they both sensed it too while holding her under the SUN, star as I mentioned in mine , he is making her aware of his intentions and she goes right to DIWALI night where she submitted herself but got rejected and today again he wanted her to feel the very same the way he delivered his intentions on TERI MERI night.How BEAUTIFUL'

OK my Likes, Quotes, colors , nothing is responding so this is Faiqa and her time constrained posts...so stay with me as I am feeling guilty.

I love that song <3 [even smileys are not coming...hmmm...:(

lovely take ,A union of souls in the unconscious state.A talk of one heart to another with FULL right though with hesitation.The hesitation changes to a NEED and that need changes to a CONFIRMATION.Loved her here.She asks him with her Right and with this undeniable feeling that he will answer her.He will but she has to break a barrier first to make a crack in his.How smoothly her brain picks that clue and she is using it here and this is her first LOUD confession for him which brims his eyes.The longing and desires to be with each other and to be within each other is all time high.

Thank you

exquisite anger, hayeee.

tell me more about this terrible man, aarwen. 😆

lovely take. hilarious episode, and in a way something terribly sexy in it... groggy eyes adding madly to it, also out-to-get-you wife under dupatta.

somehow looked like constant lovemaking to me... foreplay. okay me have one track mind...

but really, if you don't give a damn for each other would you try so hard to irritate the other and that one get this irritated yet not totally flip it? i mean she messed with his shirts... and got away with it.

isse toh laad gov hi achha tha... awww, asr likes his wife calling him awful things but specially created for him... this is foreplay. aaargh.

loved the take. thanks. some bak nak in blue.
