Okay. There's no denying it. Today's episode was downright ridiculous!!! Generally it consisted of counterfeit a-k photos splashed all over the papers, some local goons creating trouble for them, Kripa suspecting Josh because of a most blatantly obvious planted "clue", Angad defiantly still planning to go ahead with the show, Kripa uncovering a plan to get Angad killed, (btw, I've lost count of the number of life attempts on Angad…………..is anybody keeping count over here??? This is certainly the third one in just this week. Karthik and/or Prithvi are evidently getting impatient!!!!!) And then, I'm guessing, in what was purported to be the "dramatic" part of the episode, Kripa going charging to lover boy's rescue!!!
Let's see. Angad is the hero of the show? Correct. Will he get killed? Not a chance. Okay, so since there are no worries on that front, give me a moment here to stop laughing over Khushwant Singh Rana's sideburns and moustache.😆 I've heard of fake ones but these were as fake as they came. Having said that let me just say that today I'm feeling extremely crappy because of a cold and it's only my extreme addiction to kyph that made me get out of bed in the first place, and as I sat there with throbbing head and streaming eyes, the sight of the flagrantly fake facial hair cheered me up to no end.😃
So there were Angad and Kripa coming down, looking all snazzy and happy and charged up over their show when the manager of the hotel came running to warn them that they couldn't step outside alone. And when a visibly taken aback Angad enquired why, our Khushwant Singh Rana of the fake sideburns and moustache decided to make his august presence felt. Full marks to everybody for not bursting out laughing during the scene, btw. So there he was, fake moustache and all, going how dare you bring your big city vices to our small town??? Well, buddy. If it's big enough to host a major musical show, it's big enough to deal with a little reality. Or should I say, false reality, no pun intended.
Anyways, in answer to Angad's query, as to what the hell was he talking about, he flung a folded up newspaper at Angad (gasp! This OUR rock star you are dealing with over here and we'll thank you to be a bit more well mannered.😡 Hmph!) But since Angad was too busy glaring back at him, it was left to Kripa to pick up the paper and hand it over to Angad who opened it to find…well they obviously didn't show the pictures but you could imagine what they'd show having seen the evil computer genius at work.😕
Poor Angad and Kripa really did appear flabbergasted by this piece of slick computer generated malice and Kripa later refused to do the show on the grounds that she was too ashamed by the thought of what people must think and it was too cute, the way Angad calmed her down and allayed her fears with the claim that they were famous, and losers like the one who tampered with their pics were just that…losers. Aww! So cute.😳
Hehe! You know what I loved, when Prithvi in his usual, stick his nose into everybody's business mode, ordered the manager to call the police, the thug like totally turned on him and went like who the hell do you think you are😃. Precisely what we are all dying to ask him as well. Btw, I'm strictly improvising this part of the confrontation because my stupid cell started ringing, as usual, in the middle of the scene. Sigh! But yeah, basically it consisted of him telling off the ever-efficient Prithvi, to the effect that he apparently had the local police in his pocket.
A-K however were undeterred by all this nasty business and went out still planning on going to the show, when they faced their next hurdle. A big crowd gathered outside the hotel with a police contingent guarding the hotel entrance, refusing to let them leave. Finally it was decided that Angad would go and Kripa would stay, with Prithvi going all like, "Don't worry KripAH! I'll go with him," Sigh! That is exactly what you would worry about Kripa, if only you knew😕. And when Angad was leaving with the police guard, Kripa stood by with Simone, looking on and suddenly she called out his name, and when he turned back she went running to him and unclasped her chain with a lucky amulet (I'm guessing), from around her neck and reaching up, put it across his neck, telling him to take care. And the look that followed could have melted anybody into a puddle, I'm telling you.😳 This is why we watch kyph. This is why we can't get enough of A-K ever. Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Total Meltdown moment!
Cut to Kripa going to the receptionist, Simone in tow, asking for her keycard. Would somebody please explain to me why she would hand in her keycard to the receptionist in the first place? Since a keycard is magnetized to work for the entire duration of your stay when you check in and it's not like the housekeeping staff and all don't have their own master cards. Sigh! The amount of nonsensical stuff we are shown, I tell you!!! Anyways, the over efficient receptionist gave her not just the keycard but also a receipt for Josh.
Up in her room Kripa is shown pacing about restlessly, with Simone trying to ease her anxiety. Suddenly Kripa decides to call Angad and while talking to him, his cell phone battery obviously has to be at the critically low level, so he's like, Kripa hurry and note down this other number, and Kripa frantically searching for something to write on, obviously just has to take Josh's receipt. So the numbers written down and the call's over, when in a fit of inquisitiveness, she opens the paper to find the name of some graphic designing firm on the letterhead and the receipt made out to……..ta da! Josh! AS IF!!!!!!!
Cut to Kripa having flashbacks of Angad telling her that the photos are all the work of some graphic manipulation and Kripa once again displaying her knack for complete and total trust, immediately jumped to the conclusion that it must have been Josh behind the whole thing!!!!!!!!!!! This girl just doesn't know who her real friends are, I tell you. Prithvi and Harshini being the case in point.
So Kripa goes rushing off to solve the mystery, only to encounter hurdle after hurdle; Simone tries to stop her, the receptionist tries to stop her, and finally when she emerges from the hotel, whom should she find but Mr. I love looking like I've got a giant hairy caterpillar across my upper lip. Lol.
But this turned out to be a blessing, since Kripa, while expediently hiding behind a potted plant, happens to overhear Khushwant Singh telling somebody that his (other unknown person's) work was done, and it was a good thing that he had left for Bombay and that a time bomb had been deployed in the auditorium that would go off as soon as Angad touched the mike, thus taking care of his enemy for once and for all (God forbid!!!)😡
Okay. Lets pause here for a minute to ascertain the culprit's identity. Since everybody else was present in Jallore, so that means Karthik must have made a secret trip here as well, organized all this, set up Josh to take the rap for it and then sneaked off to Mumbai again like the sneaky, stinky rat he is. Grrrrr!😡😡😡
Who do you think is the mastermind mind behind this latest attempt to bump off Angad and/or defame a-k????? It's got to be Karthik. But what about Prithvi? I have a nasty feeling that it just might be him too. The thing that has me confused is that thug going that whoever he is, is back in Mumbai. So I guess, the million dollar question is, where is Prithvi?????????????? Also, I think, Angad mentioning at the start of the episode that Josh and Mishty had arrived in Mumbai, is probably the scriptwriters feeding us false leads and playing mind games with us, since NO way can it be Josh.😕
Anyhow, Kripa on hearing this, tries to get away undetected but her escape plan is pretty much shot to hell when she accidentally trips and alerts the goons to her presence. They follow her but she manages to get away (obviously!!!) and flagging down a passing auto rickshaw, makes her getaway in grand style.😃
Kripa tries the number of the concert hall given to her by Angad and when the call is answered tells the person about the terrible danger Angad is in and to stop the show at all costs, only to have the other person laugh in her face and say that her finding out would only make the game more fun and that the concert was going ahead and Angad was going on that stage.
Poor Kripa. Cut to a motorbike suddenly swerving in front of her cab and the rickshaw going over a large rock and throwing her out. Her cell phone broken and frantic with worry, Kripa finally manages to hail down a passing car and after convincing the woman to give her a lift, she sets off on the way once more. Down but not defeated.
Sigh! The last scene of the episode was the sweetest. As Angad is getting ready for the concert (and yes, the stubble is still there, although Dinky says that it's not going to stay. Oh well, enjoy it while you can!!!😳), he keeps remembering Kripa putting the chain around his neck. And the sweetest, most charming scene of the day was both Angad and Kripa praying simultaneously to God to keep the other safe. Angad on the way to the concert, Kripa also on the way to the concert, yet their thoughts are always with each other, their concern solely for the other. Sigh! Could these two be any cuter??????😳😳😳 And here the episode ended, leaving us all, like always, dangling in the middle, waiting for the long, long weekend to end.
Sigh! Everybody, enjoy these little endearing, heartwarming a-k exchanges, because according to Dinky there's going to be a leap of a year in about 10-12 episodes after Angad is jailed.😭 And after the leap, old sardonic, cynical, overflowing with attitude and womanizing Angad will be back for revenge.(okay. so perhaps that wont be such a bad thing!)
My peace of mind fled forever since the day I started watching this show. I want revenge too, from Ekta😡 for having us bear the torture of the Kripa-Prithvi wedding🤢. Oh, well, to quote Angad, "The Show must go on!" and this being a soap, it can only do so with these absurd, heart attack inducing, twists and turns.😕😭
Anyhow. The preview for Monday showed the car that Kripa had taken a lift in, breaking down mid-way, leaving her stranded yet again!!!!!!!!! "When it rains, it pours!" is a saying rather close to the balaji scriptwriter's hearts, I guess.
All right. Here's the deal. Why didn't Kripa just call Prithvi? After all, he's the one who went with Angad after reassuring Kripa and if I'm not greatly mistaken, his cell phone battery didn't die, Angad's did.
Sigh! So its back to waiting for Monday's episode for the drama and the mystery to unfold. Great! The stupid balaji just wont ever let us ever spend the weekend peacefully.
What do you guys think is going to happen now???
Take care everyone,😊
Loads of love,
Amal
P.s. a thought just struck me. Do you guys think Josh might be killed over here? Ugh! It's hard to even say that. No. But the Set-India preview said that there was going to be a dramatic episode, which would apparently showcases their escape amidst a background of riots, so that can't be it. Phew! Temporary relief! Plus, hang on. Josh is back in Mumbai………….ugh! My brains have become addled by the flu😕.
