Very good question. This has been on all our minds and I certainly hope starting next week they start resolving this issue or else viewers are not going to be patient for too long.
Coming to Khushi, everyone has written their share. So, here's mine.
1. This was the last hint this week. When she heard that Nidhi is making shera, she says she has not had shera for a few months(?). She also indicated once before that it had been a while that she slept on a nice bed. Again how long? 12 months, 24 months...its like my 4 yr old says ''yesterday' for anything that has not happened in the last hour or two!!
2. She went to a good school at one point and knows how to read and write. She also knows how to draw and use a sketchbook and some poetry too. Obviously she was a talented student and well-mannered, so she must be on the streets for quite a long time that has made her forget even how to talk like 'civilized' kids.
My inkling is towards her belonging to a broken family. Maybe her real parents are divorced or maybe her father has abandoned them. If divorced, it may have happened a few years back considering that she has only a vague recollection of how her father looks. Maybe she discovered his photo a few months back and is now looking for him.
Just before she left home, maybe she was abused by an elder. Wonder if her mother is going through a tough financial period and she has to work now to make ends meet, so she had started taking out some of that frustration on the poor girl. OR Maybe her mother is dead now and she had been fostered by some relatives who started ill-treating her forcing her to run and start looking for her father.
Whatever I am pretty sure Khushi's background is not a very pleasant one. And once Ashu finds out he is not going to be too pleased. And yes, even I feel a child psychologist should be consulted here, whether Khushi has partial memory loss or is in shock or is trying to avoid and suppress painful memories, atleast they can find out what they are dealing with over here. But, it looks like none of these people are thinking in terms of a medical condition, and are assuming Khushi has got lost and has been lost for a while (like a year or two), so she is only able to recollect bits and pieces of her former life.
The episodes this week focused on what the purpose of Khushi was and we have seen some heart to heart between Ashni starting to happen. So, now, since this process has been set in motion, one can hope that they will not reverse to their old self once Khushi leaves and will continue sharing their thoughts, joys, sadness, worries, past, fears, etc. and become the best of friends as well. So, now along with Ashni's convos, they should definitely start solving the mystery around the little girl and move forward before stagnation starts to set in.
