Thank you Sohara and Indu di for talking about this.

Sohara what the writers wanted I always wonder. Maybe they also reached that roof top without knowing what next. We do know they often forgot what happened prior to a moment.

Indu di I do tend to agree exactly with what you said. And yes the mind just reels at the possibilities if that is what would have happened. "shadi karni hogi mujhse".. if only..

@Rhea~~~

So many lines of your 302, I wanted to quote, but because of my infected device I couldn't. such as, 'heady combination of playfulness and assurance" ...loved it.

How you described their hug is sublime. and the connection with the warehouse hug is so accurate. And what a hug it was, how perfectly she molded in his arm! She indeed knows how to hug her beloved man. Though she hugged him and carried away also, but the grudge was still there. How could you forget those lethal words what he spurted out just a night before. "why did you come to my life...I wish i would've never met you...you are responsible for my di's sorrow...di is unhappy for you" ...then she saw Anjali's reaction as if she was a criminal and taking his brother away from her. In that case how could she stay there whereas she knew not she but Anjali was the most important person of arnav's life. Though eventually she also became equal. But arnav always gave priority to Anjali. That's why he told bunches of lies to please his selfish di. You said the family treated her breakable child, i would rather say impish and petulant and apparently a spoiled brat. Or khushi decided to leave arnav just for his happiness, so that his sister can be happy. don't you think Khushi didn't suffer to leave her beloved husband for whom she can die also. But she sacrificed for the sake of her husband's happiness.

and yeah the push was so hard like the guest house now. but the difference is that time he enraged more and this time he enjoyed more. Khushi is feisty indeed. Otherwise who can dare to push mighty ASR so hard.

very beautifully written as always and i enjoyed so much.

Khushi is in impasse, can't get what to do, a frisson of fear rippling down her back. Holding the plant pot in her hand she is screaming incessantly, who is there! But there is no response. Suddenly the door of her room also gets locked. She bangs the door vehemently and fortunately can able to open the lock to get inside the room. She comes in the living area, still holding the plant pot. She gets aghast to see a silhouette standing in the hall. she can see the man in the flash of lightning ; he is nobody but Arnav. Arnav utters Khushi with concern. Seeing Arnav there, Khushi gets her life back. She forgot all the truce, all her grudges relegate to oblivion. she just leaves the plant pot and runs to him and collides against his chest with the force of a bullet train. She embraces him in a bone crushing hug. Arnav also hugs her as tight as possible. Their body interlace together as if there is no minuscule space exists between them. The title song of IPK plays in the BG what enhances the effect of the hug. Khushi says in constrict voice how scared she was! Arnav just tries to hush her and fondles her in his embrace. He caresses her thick lock on her back lovingly. Suddenly Khushi's look goes down and in the semi dark room she can see the rose petals on the ground. She breaks the hug immediately and the power also comes back. She gets amused and baffled as well to see beautiful path of rose petals meanders across the room towards the stairs.

Arnav removes her lock from her forehead and asks acquiescently with a glint in his eyes,,
"What happened? Were you scared?" .
"You did all this!" Her eyes flash in a surprising show of defiance. She brushes off his hand from her forehead and starts to push him in anger, I think the more she felt drawn to him the angrier she got. An outlet to the pent up emotions.
"Do you know how scared I was?"

Arnav smiles impishly at her resilient irrepressible anger. To see him smiling Khushi's anger intensifies more. She pushes him even harder, "you are laughing?" nice word .. impish..
He holds her rebel hands and pulls her to his chest. He enfolds her trembling body in a tight embrace and buries his head in the crook of her neck. She eventually delves into him, in an echo of a vague surrender to his passionate gesture. He also hugs her with equal passion. She encircles her hand around his shoulder and gradually her slender fingers go up to hold the back of his neck.A new sense of comfort engulfs them as their bodies mould against each other. There is an exulting loving smile suffuses his face and her eyes shuts with myriad emotions. A sense of tranquility takes possession of Khushi's weary mind. Time ceased to exist, as their body entwines together, creates a gentle cadence that beat in harmony with their erratic heart. The title song of IPK again plays in the BG to make the moment more surreal.

"Kyan kaha tha tumne, jis din mere baho mei daurte hue chale aaogi, us din humko apna pati manogi. abhi tumni bilkul wahi kiya, Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada" his voice is seeped with passion and velvety caress.
They break the hug and Khushi realizes what she just did.

"I don't mind if you acknowledge me your husband." He says with mischief and with a naughty glint in his eyes. He can't bridle his passion and cups her face in his big rough hand. He angles his head to kiss her and she wants to stop him. but her sexy husband makes her weak in her knees and disables her tongue to speak, that she can only utter Arnavji. She also is in complete rendition, wants to be reciprocal and mutual in love. Their mind looks drifted to the serene realm of oblivion of the rest of the world, in this moment they just want to indulge their desire. But the kiss again gets hindered by intruders. And this time the whole family interrupts their romance.
I wish if they would've come after they kissed. Anyway interruption in kissing is the trend of IPK. They couldn't go to satsang for the heavy traffic. After waiting in the traffic far a long time, nani decided to go back home, she thought it' wouldn't be good for Anjali to sit in the car like this for so long. Even more than diwali today i wanted the kiss to complete.

All are stupefied to see them kissing in the living room. Arnav was supposed to be in his meeting, then how cum he is here to romance his wife! Their look goes to the flower path also. Arnav and Khushi both are in a nonplus situation, Khushi is feeling extremely awkward, she tries to mess up the flower path by fiddling her feet as if Arnav didn't make it intentionally; the flower appers from somewhere else and scattered on the floor. Arnav tells her to relax, they didn't do any infringement that they have to feel ashamed.
Anjali is baffled, Arnav was supposed to go to the meeting in Agra then how cum he here!. Mami banters them sardonically, "did you talk about this close door meeting Arnav bitua."
Though Naniji chides her to stop, but who can stop this uncivilized lady, she continues her tirade,
"This gupta shishters started to spell on our sons so much that they started to lie now. .aur phati saree, arnav bitua ke uski small finger mei ekdum round round rappat thi haye."
I guess she meant wrap. Her voice is implacable and condemnatory. But I kind of enjoyed her dialogue. ASR has turned to Khushi's Arnav, the feeling makes me elated. Arnav and Khsuhi both look at each other with perturbation. Arnav feels a pang for Khushi that because of his act, Khushi is facing all the insolence. For the first time I saw he intended to protest mami. But he didn't has to do so, as nani berates mami to keep quite. Mami leaves in anger and so as the rest of the family. Interesting I have some times wondered when should ASR have said enough is enough to mami.
The innocent face scary lady Anjali comes near Arnav and Khushi. She looks at the flower path one more time and tells Arnav with agony that he told that he was going for meeting in Agra. Arnav tries to say by keeping his consoling hand on Anjali's shoulder that he was going to the meeting but the meeting cancelled. she brushes off his hand from her shoulder and leaves in resentment. She harbored so much rancor and anger against Khushi,that she now starts to misunderstand her brother.
Pause: The Raizada family's obnoxious reaction to see a husband loving his wife seemed illogical. Arnav's act also was too filmy and OTT. I expected some more classy stuff from ASR than scarring Khushi and making a rose petal path in the middle of the living room. Arnav actually lost some of his characteristic and identity after coming back from the kidnappers. Anyway I really enjoyed the whisky, husky sexy timbre of ASR's voice. I agree I almost want someone to write an OS where there are actually alone and she hugs him for some reason without all this filmy roses and family interruption.

Anjali comes to her room and recollects what Arnav said about the meeting. She is feeling duped. Copious tears are flowing from her eyes in pain andanger . Arnav comes in her room, tries to assuage her. He says his meeting was really cancelled and he wanted to join them also, he called at Akash's phone, but his phone was unreachable. So he preferred to come back home. But anjali is just berserk in rage that she doesn't want to talk to him right now. She wants to stay alone. She closes the door in front of his face in spite of his incessant plea. Arnav keeps knocking at her door, but his brother's request can't melt her anger.
Arnav pushes the door open to come inside. He again tries to make her understand that he wanted to come with them. Anjali doesn't want to listen to him and gives her verdict that he wanted to spend time with Khushi, that's why he gave the excuse of meeting. Arnav tries to placate her that she is misunderstanding him. But Anjali is so tenacious that she doesn't want to hear anything, she can understand everything. She thinks he at least should tell the truth to his di. Arnav insists her to take her medicine. But she will not take her medicine also; all she wants is to stay alone. She literally gets him out from the room. A despondent Arnav stands near her door for some times, he is in complete predicament. Anxiety in his caramel pools accurately reflects the magnitude of the ongoing mental storm. When Akash comes there, he tells him to go to anjali's room right now to give her medicine. Akash assures him that he will make her to take medicine.
Anjali doesn't open the door at Akash's knock too. Payal also comes there with milk. She wants to try. But Akash gives her an annoying look, as if she and her family are responsible for all the mess. He gets the milk glass from her hand. Payal becomes sad at his misdemeanor.
Finally the drama queen anjali opens the door. mami also comes right then. Akash gives her medicine but he can't make the petulant child to take medicine. Mamii tries to placate her like a baby, But this old baby doesn't care anybody not even the innocent life what is developing inside her. She tells them grimly that she will take medicine later, right now all she wants is solitude.. everyone is only encouraing her childishness. To an extent even ASR. sad.
Arnav was eagerly waiting to know his di took her medicine or not. mami and Aaksh come out from Anjali's room, Mami says crying that she didn't. to enrage Arnav more she adds fuel to the fire,
"God knows whose evil eye fell on her?"
It's unfathomable to her what to do.
Arnav tries to go again to pacify Anjali. But Akash and mami both think, he shouldn't bother her now, they are scared, whether she takes any wrong step again or not!
I still didn't get what medicine she needed to take in her pregnancy what made everybody tensed!

Payal brought food for Akash in their room as he didn't eat his dinner. She made his favorite vhindi sabji. Akash infuriates to see that. He tells her to call HP and to take away all the food right now. There is more important thing in his life than vhindi ki sabji. His di didn't take her medicine yet and she is insisting him to eat! Payal retorts back, what she said that he became so mad. What can they do for Anjali's current state; at least she can support and take care of those people who are taking care of her. Akash disgruntles more. Payal asks him about his obnoxious behavior.
"I am tired of everything. I am tired of being accused again and again for no reason. You still are thinking that I am to blame, because I hid the truth and so as Khsuhi. You are angry with me that Khushi is my sister and according to you Khushi is reprehensible. But why aren't you forgetting that because of Khushi Shyam's truth revealed and nobody can deny the fact. Just give me one chance."
Mami intervenes with her poignant words, why she is screaming at her son so late at night? In her eyes she and her sister both are guilty and will remain forever. She takes Akash with her to feed him.

Anjali receives a blank call and the line gets disconnected after while. It is sure the premonition of Shyam's entry.
Arnav doesn't relinquish, he comes to Anjali's room in spite of her admonishment. He beseeches her to take medicine and gives her kasam too. If she doesn't take medicine he will think that she doesn't care him any more and doesn't want to see him alive. This technique sure works. Anjali scolds him, he must not say like this. And finally she takes medicine. Arnav holds her hand lovingly. Anjali warns him not to tell such thing again. Arnav also pleads her not to think that he lied to her. Anjali says in accusatory tone,
"Time has changed, you have changed since you got married, everything changed, since you stopped answering my question, everything has changed."

It's Zoha's VM but someone else posted it in youtube, as Zoha deleted her channel.

Lovely take Sohara. The gifs were beautiful. I loved the phrase about Khushi's surrender. And that moment of defiance when she hits him on the chest... I had forgotten that.. was absolutely thrilling to watch and read your description of it. Agreed with all you said about Anjali and everyone else.

Thank you for this write up dear..

rhea, writers only wanted terrace and MU..they were always heading to that only.. they didn't at all forget what happened prior...they wanted asr to be at the crescendo of his love so that that falling into pits gives max heart break..and it did...
they would n't think/ write how / what asr would propose when that is not even on cards. all the should have, would have , could have beens are only for academic discussion for pagal fans like us..

Episodes 301-303

The love of his life is at cross roads... an unforeseen demanding task at hand .. to win his Khushi back.

Winning deals is something ASR emphatically mastered while establishing a business empire and regaining control over his life in the last few years. The pragmatic business man wakes up.. .to design ways he deems germane ... to seal the deal even in intimate matters!

At a conundrum of life, anjali's dire plight lead both him and khushi into a very realistic spousal fight, he did vent his dependence to her very openly.. .mei tumhare bina ... aur mei... "me.. with you".. "what about me"..

His core always remained cryptic, not letting anyone an inkling of his vulnerabilities. But today he laid his soul bare... for her to hear.. for her to see.. for her to accept.. for her to reciprocate...for her to not leave ..for her to feel the need in her for him ... just like he does for her...an inexorable one!

They awakened senses in each other that were otherwise muffled..

His utter abjection unveiled ... that she is at the epicenter of his whole existence..

But, she is hurt.. too deeply hurt by his spontaneous scathing remarks... that made her immune to his evident distress. His touching admissions couldn't stop the otherwise very kind Khushi. She made decisions not too palatable for him...those he couldn't condone... could n't live with..

He has to act upon them instantly.. efficaciously. Win his khushi ...bring her back into his life. He commenced with gentler means, emulating tricks best employed by khushi, her very own ingenuous ways bordering on peculiar to bizarre at times, albeit very exciting and impromptu, remind her of the invigorating ride they have been through... that paved their remarkable journey together...

But khushi truly seem to have acquired an impassibility.. she has decided to be unresponsive today..

He wouldn't accept defeat that easily. The uncanny ability of a young business man coming to fore...the ways he knew that would work. "Apne style me kaam karo.. apne sharthon par"... "work in your own style, on your own principles"...he counseled his brother akash some months ago while he was pursuing Payal's love.

Now, he would seal this deal in his own style and accord. He is a man on a mission. Time to pull out an peerless strategy from his armor.. an infallible one.. ..a devilish one...

He is always absolutely enamored by the palpable hypnotic effect of his proximity and touch upon her. He would claim his right on her today...make her realize how absolutely disarmed she becomes in his tantalizing confines.

He would absolutely enjoy the fact that she is his wife.. his legally wedded wife. Wife... he told Lavanya once she could never be his wife... he surely cared for her friendship, respected her quite a lot.. but wife? Not... a relationship that is too precious and pure to belong to this faux world...in his drawings..

But, Khushi is everything he cynisized to be wiped off from this world... a selfless love, an unbelievable simplicity and a guile less infectious childlike energy.. he would have no qualms, rather proud to call her to be his wife...

Stage is all set to win her back... to drive her into his arms.. ...the means didn't matter...

During the epic war of Kurukshetra, to defeat the great warrior Drona, his son's name was used by the otherwise unfalteringly truth adhering Yudhishtira as he announced "Ashwatthama hathaha...kunjara" (Ashwatthama died...an elephant) but making only the first part audible to Drona which is not exactly true, the news of his son's death ultimately leading to Drona's downfall. After all, all is fair in love and war...

Here in this war of love, the outcome is of mutual interest. Khushi reciprocated to his designs like an instrument attuned to its adept player. She promptly ran into her arnavji's safe arms, her savior, in an hour of dire need..

"Right at that moment when I pulled you closer...

A heat emanated.. ..a stir rife

a pique on your lips... an intent for a strife...

but why do your eyes say otherwise

an instant melt in your frame

at my gaze

an incite to claim rights ..

on my legally wedded wife...

Push me afar

as if you don't care...

deny me along

but I see an invite in that glare

a wild urge to seal you as mine

it's a challenge.. i may say

but

the bliss of being your consort

an infinite joy..in that epithet

Come..

Fill my arms... fill my life..

Fill all the spaces in between

cos we belong right here..

and this is an endless affair.."

I think his plan actually back fired him because he made Khushi more acrimonious to me. It would be rather logical and acceptable if he would've taken her away from the crowd and loves her like the way he wants and so as she. And I'm sure after getting his passionate and myriad love she couldn't think to leave him.

Sohara I too failed to understand the importance of 24 hours other than shirtless Arnav. This track was just wasted on passion as they had to bring on dadi but one thing it gave was some humor. and some light moments between Shyam to Shyam saga

episode 303

😕

sorry, right now there's no way to access my vms because the kahani of blocking continues. maybe some day good sense will prevail and fans will be allowed to express their joy with a completely non commercial yet utterly precious piece of work... no matter what, i shall always have the emotional copyright for iss pyaar ko... so will you. and nothing can infringe upon it... for it stays in the dil... a fabulous vm... hamesha 😳

"meri zindagi ka sabse important hissa hamesha aap thi aur rahogi!"
you were the most important part of my life and will remain so.

story is clearly not on track... and hasn't been for a while. in the middle of that, episode opens with asr saying he married khushi only for his sister's sake. okay, to some extent this is true... but then he underscores, he didn't love khushi at that time... really? well maybe he hadn't found a name for that faraq feeling of his yet, his heartbeat going haywire, his need to run to her wherever she is, even if it means he'd have to beat nk to carry, of all things, a shadi ka joda. a tycoon who runs his own empire suddenly ready to be courier, waiter, handkerchief giver, anything. but okay this was not love, or he had not figured out yet it was that...

"yeh toh shadi ke baad jo usse pyaar honey laga.."
it was only after marriage that i began to fall in love with her...

but then he reassures his sister it's only after he got married that he fell in love with khushi... she became that saansey ruk jaaygi girl di spoke of.

this is when i am bursting blood vessels. so what was that "khushi" moment way back, when his dhadkane raced and he looked at his own reflection and connected why his heart beat so... and for whom.

beautiful acting by barun sobti and flaky childish, reassure me i am at the centre of your world expressions from daljeet. yeah, maybe it was the need of the moment to say something to make di feel better, stronger... she is his world as he says... and she is. but why this weird bare faced lying by a man who doesn't lie.

if there's one person willing to look at the truth for what it is, it is this man... so why this ridiculous writing.

there was a troubled look on asr's face when his now happy and mollified sister hugged him. i wondered why, is it because he knows he didn't exactly speak the truth... but no, lying is so not asr. it was perhaps asr wondering why the writer was doing this to him.

"jo bhi hua usski jp bhi wajah ho, aap naahin hain khushi bitiya..."
whatever happened and whatever be the reason for that, it wasn't you, khushi...

in the meantime khushi sits under a fairly self created burden of guilt and talks to possibly the only character who stayed intact... nani ji. i enjoyed nani's simple statement about it being absolutely natural for a husband and wife to spend time together, nothing wrong in it. so the only person, other than asr, who is not raising eyebrows at the romantic tryst planned by a besotted husband, is his smart sharp grandmother.

bravo.

our television could do with a few more normal, cool headed, wise grandmas and mas in law like this. can't ever say enough about how much i enjoyed jayshree t's portrayal of devyani raizada. especially since i always knew her to be the not quite helen cabaret dancer. even with wig, make up and serial wardrobe sarees, she was outstanding... beautiful play of emotions on her face, her body language.

a pickle jar is in frame, hinting at something no doubt, but even without it, one gets the sense of something getting salted and sunned... getting ready to be spiced and left to come to a delicious delicate flavour. yes, despite all the perplexing writing, these are the episodes of the pati... who wants to be just that. these are about that besotted lover who once ripped a dori then forced her to tie it in the way he wanted and is now unable to live without that tie... all he wants is for her to accept him, make him hers.

he may say to his sister many things, but the truth is in his heart, his eyes, his tone of voice, his channe buying while jogging, his gentle hand sliding over hers, his "main bhi tumhare saath chal raha hoon..." i am also coming with you on hearing she is going to her aunt's, his following her around with his eyes, his trying to desperately understand her silence and her melancholy air.

she'd been fighting with him earlier... and he had done all he could to get her to relent. he'd even played asr like tricks and games and roared in anger.

but this sad khushi worries him, he has to get to the bottom of it... he teases, he plays, he asks, he is heck so gentle you want to melt and stay that way... and yet no gooeyness, all asr is he still. tender yet tycoonish. he must get his wife to be in his life, be part of him, the part without which he can't live...

and she is so confused, in such a mess... all her decisions are a bit unsound... i guess when you love so much and are torn about things, it is hard to take decisions that make sense... she is all lover, all wife... she wants him so, yet in her own specifically khushi way she has come to the conclusion that she must leave him, because even though nani ji said di always wanted her to be in chhotey's life... "sach?" she had asked... is it true? something in her knows this might have been true once but now it's perhaps no longer the case.

khushi has seen the way anjali looks at her... she knows her arnav ji can't be happy if di isn't... but she still doesn't really know, nor understand and feel that arnav ji can't live if she is not with him... she knows it, he has told her as much, but she doesn't feel it it yet... not entirely internalised.

i loved the fact that khushi was human. she was not "acchi ladki", she was not miss know all, she was a human being at this moment caught in the crazy topsy turvy of life.

these episodes up to 310 are all about love to me... not in its first raw attraction state, we have seen that... nor in its time of pain and extreme suffering which too we've been through, nor of the glorious larger than life return and claim of love on the human being... this is love where you become a part of me and i a part of you and no one needs to be told who is the most important in whose life.

extraordinarily fine acting i felt i saw during this period from both barun and sanaya. they felt the feelings of a man and a woman, all of them... there was a beautiful yearning, a tension palpable all around. tacky sets, no suv, story now here now there... but direction, acting and catching of emotions by everyone, even writers... wondrous.

this is why, ipk became classic for me despite obvious glitches and mayhem tracks. the understanding of love was flawless, har baar. felt like a real relationship... and there was a contemporary vigour, a will to live aspect to this love. khushi and asr became love somewhere along the way... pagal and laad governor pyaar.

how goofy and lovely was that scene straight after his talk with di. man lies in bed looking at wife. di sab samajhti hai. di understands everything, only men will believe such a thing, especially the straight forward sort, who don't really want to get into the complications of feelings unlike most women. and while he does need both the women he loves to feel happy, but a funny tenderness toward this girl sleeping next to him.

"khushi, ab dheere dheere sab theek ho jaayga..."
khushi, now gradually everything will work out.

"ab tumhe mujhe apna pati manna hi padega..."
now you'll have to accept me as your husband... alas he has no idea she has already decised on acourse of action.

"waise jab tum soti ho, tumse baat karan kitna aasaan hp jaata hai..."
when you sleep, gets real easy to talk to you. i wonder is it only because she doesn't answer back or because he can show all his heart and exactly how terribly totally smitten he is. putty in her hands the stubborn raizada.

he watches wife, pushes back her hair... a thing between them that says hamesha... he slips his hand over hers, that too is becoming a forever thing between them.

later, after her puzzling behaviour with the channa, post her initial delight, he goes to leave her at buaji's. how concerned a man, why is his woman behaving so mysteriously? and his woman, tearful and sad and yet determined to leave the man who is part of her, without whom she can't live too.

"khushi, tum theek toh ho?"
khushi, you're okay aren't you?

"kuchh aur baat hai kya?"
is something else the matter?

tum raaste mein bhi chup chap baithi thi.. what's the matter with you?
you were sitting quiet on teh way here...

she didn't even sing her fiendish song... he wonders, he wants to know. she is inconsolable, he can't let her be, "khushi, kya hua tumhe..." what's happened to you?

the sweetest inquisition on earth.

"khushi, tum..." he calls out... but she just says,

"chalte hain", i'm off then, in a hollow voice... she is leaving him...

yet when she reaches the top of the verandah steps, where once he had told her she means nothing to him, a rich guy wasn't clutching a payal and collapsing for her, where she had sat broken and wept... she halts there. tense. still.

as she hears him drive away, she can't stay as resolved as she wants to be, she turns... her broken heart welling over.

beauty.

even amid a collapsing story line, the story of love remained true and tight and full of light and insight. the very nature of this feeling was felt and explored with a deft, intelligent touch... the spices were fresh, the aromas heady, the sunning at the right temperature...

i happened to watch 303 and 304 together last night. i found myself not wasting too much time on the silliness of the story and my eyes ears heart seeking out the lovers and watching minutely, not being able to stop at 303, needing to see the next... and the moment he said "haq hai tumhara... mujh pe," i knew i had to express this somehow.

the vm was done in that one sentence i think.

oh the yearning of arnav singh raizada. it comes with heavy doses of his intelligence, humour, hotness, always tycoonness... has any man looked better distracted and bothered...

and has any girl looked nuttier prettier more irresistible in a chutney pink tent with gota and pompom.

be my biwi, said he. never, sighed she.
