Who said towel scene was contrived..madame in full form pulls her man into the bathroom... predecessors to cockroaches later on...😆and the he said "ghar" chalo... and I died... it was always ghar .. isn't it.. you and I always belong together... what haq!!!but the pool side fight... madame in curls again.. distracting me to bits other way around.. sorry kizzy madam...:)but there she talked as if she was heart broken by shyam's truth.. as if she didn't want that to happen... direction glitch again??..guess even directors who were in peak form by then were distracted by... those curls... sorry girls...😃
Horizonwa, am a lover of the tauliya shauliya isstuff myself😆...woh jo ek hi sthaan par isstanding and jumping kiya Khushi ne, with eyes tight shut and madamji fully clothed...i love it and love it. Predecessor to humaar caakroachwa indeed 😆
The poolsidewa, you and i have chatted about the curls before😆...like i yabbered on eons ago, i find the curls and that cute little clip very becoming on her...willingly suspendiya disbelief, of course, at the plushness of outfit and a hairdo that would've taken hours to put together and certainly not the isstuff of local parlour sharlour. But she needed to look special there, and she did. (And oh my god how fab did he look!! No disbelief there.)
I see your point about her unexpectedly expressing such heartbreak at her broken engagement..and i just read what Indus has said about significance of faith and trust in a self-respecting middle class set-up, and her possibly being upset on account of her family and their emotions...i agree with that too. But here's my thing, and believe me when i say that cos i do know this... it's a complicated sentiment, somewhat "burdened by tradition", this one.. A broken rishta penetrates your insides in unimaginable and unpredictable ways. In the back of your head you may have a soft but sure voice echoing that this was never meant to be, what's happened is for the best. You may not even be madly in love with the guy. It still slowly treks its way into your sense of self, and to your heart. As girls in this country, and certainly in others too, we grow up with notions of marriage that go deeper than one's own beliefs and worldview. When the time comes, i think it seizes all of us. And once the heart is opened up to possibilities and wishes and desires one didn't even know one had... something happens when it's called off (even if you called it off yourself or "wanted it to happen", like you say for Khushi). And the realisation and hurt of it can be entirely immediate, though that's probably rare... it's more likely to surface in a fit, mixed up with another emotion. I'd like to believe it's the latter in Khushi's case.
Sure, in the scene, it's not so brilliantly done. It seems manufactured to make the Raizada aware of her being single again...and to sneakily steer the conversation away from Lavanya-ASR and back to Arnav-Khushi.
But i will not deny that i still end up engrossed and re-engrossed in the moment, and keep losing track of the whys and the hows...i feel a great sense of unburdening and of caring in the scene.
