Episode 232

"nai di main nai de paungi kyunki main nai ja raha hun". There it is the wry die for sense of humour of ASR. "do aath din!" shocked disbelief apparent in the man. But di comes to the rescue as Khushi having laid out her trap waits for her innocent conspirators to do the work for her.  Di tries to explain "ye bhi toh apna ghar chorke aayi hai". And if not anything else Arnav must have understood this and agreed to do as told. Having done their good deed for the day nani and di head out leaving the sparring couple to themselves.. 

Khushi is a naughty chick. She already convinced the real people who can make ASR do anything, specially the most manipulative Anjali.

He shuts the door and before she can speak,"main chal ra hun ab mujhe is naam se mat bulana". The swagger at okayy? .Till now it was the fun music. But what does she do with the man's finger on her lips. Her heart stutters, perhaps goes on an overdrive. Stops breathing completely. Suave ASR still unaware of the dhak dhak he is causing or stopping, adds fuel to the fire. "Understood?" and the head tilt at exactly 30 degrees angle. I know for sure because I am literally leaning into the screen and measuring.😆 Khushi nods and just as suddenly his face is serious, something  tender,  like he understands the feelings arousing in him. Observes the reaction to his proximity in her, but he takes care to move away, not to push her. The wistful yearning in Khushi's wide sparkling eyes. Sanaya's expression was perfect while Barun's unfaltering gaze singes scorches. A simple touch and Khushi is left breathlessness.. taking deep breaths breaking out of the daze. What do you do when there is such an attraction between two people? How do you survive staying apart? Khushi did it with the slightly affected exaggerated with a  wide smile "ji buaji hum bol re hai hai", announcing their arrival the next day.

Just a gentle touch on her lips, made her heart rate haywire. His affect on her is too intense. really how do they survive apart. Loved your description.

In Laxminagar another sweet scene plays itself out. I feel like hugging Buaji and amma and rushing around helping them out. There are different kinds of love and this kind is also close to making my heart burst. Their naive excitement."6 foot ka aadmi hai chatt ooncha karo toh koi baat hai".. "damadji ka dimaag bahut garam hai". They know his vice and accept him for what he is. Shashi babua looked on with a faint smile at the choas and excitement that ensued. Garima is so cute. Cute a frivoulous word for a maa but I still feel like using it seeing her wide eyed look. I really like this actor. When we started off there was a different Garima. The writers didn't seem sure if she would be a bit strict step mom or more loving maa. But this Garima, who has a look of a frightened deer caught in the headlights yet is extremely wise, okay with whatever Arnav bitwa wants to call her and even dares to tease her son-in-law as we will see one lovely day, is definitely meant to be Khushi's amma.

I loved what you said about Garima. the first garima was a bit strict kind, but this Garima is really too cute. the way she talked in a bit suppressed voice was so adorable. Really Guptas love their son in law like their own son. there was no pretense in their love and care. Loved the bonding what built between Arnav and guptas during his stay in GH.

Khushi bids a tearful goodbye to the women of raizada mansion. She is already a part of their home. How our no nonsense man hates the melodrama while Khushi with all the filminess ingrained in her thrives on it. Love does strange things. A pragmatic cynic falls for a dramaqueen. "ha toh nai jate hai".. not leaving any stone unturned. Do i see a hint of nervousness in the new damadji? For him this glimpse of unease is equivalent to any other normal man drawing blood gnawing his finger nails in anxiety. 

khushi is really filmy.

he was nervous for sure, how would he adjust with them! But it was surprising that he agreed to stay there! 

Educating the unwordly Mr Raizada on the ways of the maternity home the well meaning mamiji intervenes. hahaha mamiji's fishing had me holding my sides. "mami mera latop..".. The mighty ASR is definitely nervous.. Mr Sobti doesn't need any more perfection but at the rate he is going Mr Raizada will also soon perfect this bewildered look of his.. hai re nand kishore in which direction is his carefully laid out dimag se socho hua planned life heading..

Buaji calls it parautha and Khushi said paratha. My dadiji says parautha and I always translate it to paratha while conveying the message to my husband. Something utterly real about the dialogues of IPK. Never do they fail. There is a certain shrugging away of the baggage of the worrisome past today. Arnav is bearing with all of Khushi's antics. And she is extra chirpy happy to be going home. Happy that she has managed to bring her husband along. After all how can sanka devi live a day without her laad governor. The famous talking all that loud is back. I bet he is immensely amused.

Oh yeah, he sure was amused. Later when things got fixed, he reminded her to sing that mausam hai suhana song.

A scene repeated numerous times in the past yet never acknowledged in such upbeat spirits."kee karke gari rukegi aur dhak karke dawaza khulega" ..Once he had left her this way before she reached the hospital to see her babuji lying lifeless. Her life turned upside down she had run into the arms of this same man. Not caring not thinking just embracing the feeling of security that he gave her.."Out" "phir se? aapne kuch soch ke hi " ... Everything is different today and even this cannot mar her happiness. And he plays along. It almost feels like the time they were lost in a jungle. no chot.. no chap gaya hai.. no nafrat. an air of annoyance cause he is ASR and a vivaciousness cause she is Khushi.. "maike jane ka hai bahana.." such a typical wifey sentiment.. and "sathi hai deewana" .. utterly completely definitely for you chirpy Khoosie..  what the what what the..👏👏👏

In Pride and Prejudice the proud aristrocrat hero Mr. Darcy never had any patience with the common people surrounding the heroine even though they may be her family. At most he could bring himself to be frostily civil. But Arnav bitwa is going to pleasantly surprise us all. In the process of settling in will also end up cracking a few jokes with his loud garrulous buaji and not mind his leg being pulled by the gentle loving amma.

Again the definite lightness in the air. People are standing gaping in front of Gupta house. Is it the white SUV or the handsome 6 foot guy in a suit? Aunties and behene I get it but uncles also? 😆hey devi maiiya did Arnavji just say "holy..." .. that is a first.. "yaha ghar basana hai kya?" If you knew about the bed then you would be all ready for it Arnav bitwa.. and the shut up.. uff.. that overwhelming velvety smooth intimacy.. 

He picked up that plant and for a second I braced my self to more Sankaness but Sanaya's expression already adds sincerity to the tone. I didn't need the music to tell me this wasn't a joke. Minute gestures of thoughtfulness evoke the strongest permanent feelings of love. Arnavji can feel it. He accepted the gesture. Proof enough was the almost invisible but surely there smile that played on his lips. Khushi had always understood his connection with his plants. The first time she saw him with it she realized the rakshas had a gentle side to him.Then to straighten out things with Lavanya the plants were bought to play cupid. No wonder months later he would lead her into his ma's garden to make her part of his deepest secrets. Back in the present the piano has decided it needed to play a harmony of its own and the other instruments have joined in eager to not be left behind. Their music forming a veil of love over the shy girl and bashful boy who stood enchanted across from each other. Unaware of the prying curious eyes of Lakshmi Nagar a brief moment in time when the noise has turned off and only the melody dances in reckless abandon .

Beautifully said. 

Loved Khushi's thoughtfulness to bring the plants. It sure touched him. That Lavanya's plant thing still bothers me. ASR never came to know that Khushi sold her mom's bangles to buy those plant. If he would've known he would never called her a gold digger.

Uff what a nosy neighbors. While I watched the episode with my mom, she said it happens back home.

Bubbly taking the soap.. hehehe pun intended .. Shyam and Anjali do an uncanny spine chilling imitation of steps taken forward and another pair of steps moving back. Clever writing in my opinion. But here is the effect of a ruthless predator cornering the helpless gullible victim. There is no way out of the spider web painstakingly being woven. 

shyam and Anjali's water romance was disgusting. We pleaded so much to the cvs to show a wet romance between arnav and Khushi, but they never showed it. what the hell they showed it between Anjali and Shyam or moreover by Arshi's poolside. Oops I forgot, in RM every room has it's own pool.

Just couldn't help myself from sitting back with my chana and ber in paper cones or better still wrapped plastic boxes munching , watching on and blowing a few whistles along. Lets shrug off the stylish story telling of the sophisticated Raizada mansion and embrace the craziness and middle class madness of Lakshmi Nagar..

Something was not quite right with this episode or atleast that is what I felt.

Could be a little do with the sinister note it started off with. How does an otherwise pretty shrewd woman get so easily taken in by her husband? Well, they do proclaim love is blind.. And whats with everyone treating Anjali like she could break into pieces any second now! 

The face off between Shyam and Khushi always had potential which was never fully realized in my opinion. As soon as he utters the slimy "aapko bahut yaad karte hai" he should have been smacked across his face. And what was Shyam exactly trying to do? Because instead of any money laundering he ended up murdering his own child to weasel his way back in. Sounds gruesome? Because it is! "is aadmi ke bare mein na soche toh achcha hai.. mitti daalo aur bhul jao"..  insightful glimpse into how Khushi deals with unpleasantness..she ignores it..

har wo chiz so chamakti hai __ nai hoti.. children don't usually do hindi crosswords do they? oh maybe like she practiced her English, playing scrabble, Babli is brushing up her hindi with this home work . Oh and why am i sitting here trying to figure all this out? mind ke check upia karike pari..

As Arnavji barges into the room I get the faint feeling that everyone seems to have forgotten what happened in the previous episode. Anyway since it is ASR's wallet it atleast has quite a few 500 Rupee notes. "aap chahe toh aap ise gin sakte hai.." Immediate chagrin registers on the man's face.. "main kuch aur dekh raha tha" ..  poor swami is besotted by his wife and is powerless to do anything about it. The heartache caused by her is by this point not even in the forefront. All his herculean effort goes into maintaining this facade of indifferent impatience. "aapko humpe bharosa hai?". The gaze that questions and the gaze that is returned speak volumes of unparalleled trust.. "jab jo kaha uska koi matlab nai..jab jo kiya uska koi matlab nai" .. you think I am a rakshas.. you think I don't have a character.. you break my heart.. you taunt me.. you alienate me.. you mock my concern.. I will hate you.. I will love you.. and throughout all this I will still trust you.. 

Silly me now i realize Khushi had planned to still continue with her pyaar bhara vaar as she has decided after supposedly figuring out what Arnavji must have really wanted to gain by lying. A cute scene plays out before us. Statusque he stood as he lets his wife slide his lithe arms into the held out coat sleeves. Talking while getting ready, such a normal couple interaction. Perhaps so absorbed in her chatter this time he didn't check the clothes, the handkerchief Khushi laid out for him. Though trying hard to resists but Arnavji has given in and is letting Khushi play the part of the doting wife as she chatters on about her dabba service. He can see through the act and knows the actual concern behind it all. 

Khushi continues her shenanigans as she lays down to block his path and even though we got to hear "you serious" from Mr Raizada's pursed lips the scene felt contrived to me.Finally I confess I am guilty of laughing at the "jaha piya waha".."maaaiiinnn" joke. Are waah lakshmiji!

In the boardroom of AR Industries shatir dimag of ASR must have been drugged by the fragrance of the ether if he ends up asking out loud about that smell. Also the AR employees have an idiotic death wish. Otherwise who says such things to their dashing angry young boss?  I definitely cringed at the lipstick mark on the handkerchief. But our man of steel continues to impress me. He may have been mortified but he still holds his own when irate he commands.. "Out everyone".  bechare chote ki hanky mein kya laga hai? A quick call to the girl who is meticulously orchestrating all of this. When Khushi says "aapko itna pasand aaya" for a second Arnav was nonplussed..  In that one micro second I can imagine his mind ( or could be just my mine ) conjuring the delicious proposition of reaching home and showing his wife exactly "kitna pasand aaya". oh how my thoughts wander.. 

Classless was an arrogant mean insult but I tend to agree with Arnavji here. Had it been any wife and any husband words of reprimand would be expected. Middleclass has been brought into play by the writers and we will soon experience the repercussions.

"Tum bilkul babli ki tarah ho" burst out an indignant Arnav . If we think about Babli in the show I vehemently disagree with Arnav. Khushi is in no way spiteful. Mischievous like a child but never malicious in intention. But if we broaden and think of Arnav comparing Khushi to a kid it may fit. She has many more layers of a woman, a girl but there is this layer as well. The simplicity of solving the problem at hand effectively, even if it means resorting to something silly. As her defense, shying away from introspection into the actual emotions behind everything. The lack of consideration of the subtle hints that her heart or his eyes are desperately trying to give her. Much later when the 6 months is ending we got an intensely powerful scene where the actor says, "Right, kuch discuss nahi karte hai..sab kuch yuhi khatam ho jane dete hai"... in some ways the entire 6 months have been shrouded in this charade.. Today he is overreacting because he is angry and Khushi is reacting this way because she does not want to think of a better way to solve this problem. Dig into the cause of the chot instead of scraping it further letting it bleed.. both in denial with no way out.. not wanting a way out..

Back home our hero is weary, like slowly everything is taking its toll. Still the tensed demeanor. The necessity to be on guard while Khushi blatantly disregards the anger readying her trump card. Stops Khushi from going to buaji's house, in fact going anywhere at all for 6 months. He may cover it by sounding terse, but the contract is just a pretense to have her close.There could have been a multitude of approaches for the resourceful ASR to deal with a cheating brother-in -law and a home wrecking gold digger, but instead in the moment of torment Arnav Singh Raizada chose to marry the girl and bind himself to her. "Uske bina saanse ruk jayengi" .. you and me are absolutely definitely simply just meant to be..

Aarwen, nice read. The episode didn't frustrate me as much it did earlier on. I loved..his "you serious" it seemed to convey the whole story. His brain seems to be shut of at this theatrical Khushi trying hard/ owing not to make sense. If Khushi had been her spunky self may be he could have recuperated his smart self.

 

That giniye.. about the notes in the wallet, was cheap I thought.. he may call her classless becos tha mya be his way of caressing her.. but wouldn't stoop to check the cash.

loved that phone convo as well .. but you are right.. its that steel of his that we are dead for.. about his babli comparison, you are absolutely right about how Kh is different than that little girl.. but ASR wouldn't know the malice of babli. For him she is only a little girl.. so from his side he is ok in that comparison.

 

Loved that underlined. perfect. they both are hurt and are in denial.. different defense mechanism that's all.

Thanks for the pm aarwen.
