episode 9
while watching the episode this morning, it struck me that this was really khushi's episode, wasn't it? it was all about the girl who had walked into a house by mistake and gotten left behind in the bakri ka kamra, while bakri s(also known as evil sorcerer who can change the side entrance to his room into a bathroom and make swimming pools and rooms and other things fly, especially dupattas)🤣 was not around.
yes, that bundle which i couldn't figure out, wrapped in shiny tissue, was perhaps a metaphor for her... a bundle of all sorts of mad fun things and a bit of sadness, plenty love and cheer, extreme darti hai par karti hai, inimitable sanka, a willingness to be good no matter what and believe the best of people, fanciful imagination, a girl with many facets almost all endearing (though she could be stubborn as h too and sometimes unthinking) and one with dreams, even if it were of a laad governor who had to be vanquished with derisively flung cold hard cash.
this was her episode and sanaya was absolutely wonderful. (she was indeed) have i ever seen such a host of expressions on any face and not felt it was overacting? khushi went through many emotions today. and i was with her all the way when she heard "arnav" and instantly felt something but then that awareness found a comic outlet in her lovely gesture as she made another mistake and thought chhotey was this little boy, chhotu... i grinned. her why are my ears ringing with that awkward expression was classic. she was a fey creature. not really a perfect fit in a big city among the wealthy and yet she did fit...
but iss pyaar ko became the love story of arnav sigh raizada and khushi kumari gupta in the truest sense thanks to the incredible chemistry between the bakri and the potli. and it presented perhaps the only really stunning male protagonist my tv has ever seen. actually, why tv? asr is asr, no matter where and which screen.
iss pyaar ko was initially called vaidehi... definitely the story of a girl... a fairly sacrificial one i get the feeling. thank g for sanaya irani and barun sobti whose fabulous acting and extraordinary vibe took us far away from that rona dhona achhi ladki bahu beti come let's all weep together comfort zone of indian television.

couldn't agree more. I didn't know Sanaya Irani before this TV show and since I discovered her have to say that I fell in love with her (well not literally I prefer man 😉) but she is in my POV the ultimate goergeous and talented actress among nowadays bollywood actresses a fey creature indeed, she can deliver in such unbelievable way shifting from hilarious moments (I laughed my head off) to serious dramatic moments (where I ached for her) and it was never too much you never feel her overacting (unlike many famous bollywood actresses), never funny to the point of ridiculousness and never dramatic to the point of becoming bothersome, it was just the perfect dose.
I can't picture anyone else in the leading role other than sanaya and Barun, thank god for them, otherwise IPK wouldn't have been the same.
