Episode 1

Maze-Like minds.

The episode starts with two pigeons at the door of Gomti Sadan...

A wedding was going on, sangeet was going on with full swing but sisters had their own moment. Dowry was the issue and they feel like raising a voice on that in a reasonable way by meeting the groom. Khushi as a young sister assures her Jiji[ Payal] that this is the right way and not a maze...

Lukhnow, the city of maze-like history and lanes is witnessing two maze-like minds. One with all brain and the other with all heart.

Heart, lehenga and sneakers, a scooter with milk cans, rushing through lanes while making people run for their lives and she will say sorry later as she is moving on to save the day. She is rushing through to reduce the pain of her loved ones.

The other side, Brain with rage, aviators, helicopter the skies, the sheesh mahal, with cold heartless eyes, ignoring people moving on to seize the day. He is marching on to escape from the pain.

The contrast of minds, the contrast of characters, the contrast of hearts, the two sides of the same passion...

A helicopter flew in slowly and started circling an old mansion more of a haveli. Domes and minarets like hollow spaces holding many voices. The music picked up the tempo to remind this stillness that someone you knew is here...

The chopper landed. An armed man opened the door, a group of media was waiting with mikes and questions... and his guards were holding them back.

The propeller continued circling with a constant beat.

music mixed with the humming propelling. A nice low angle shot to get the taller image of him. Here he descends, a suave looked face with a grim and stillness on his face.

He walks in a circular angle and stands in a slow-motion, in a three-piece suit, took off his aviators, and here is the man, the lead with flaws and frowns yet full of strength and hope.


Looking toward the Mansion, ASR tune walks in... tempo lof music picks up the speed as he walks with power and authority. The whole frame just holds his picture, declaring a presence to those dead domes, and minarets.

He is here and no one can throw him out from here anymore. No one can dare.

Yes, Pigeons flew around with happiness, Pigeons flew over him with love and affection, the guards of love were welcoming him with their own style...in his own home.

First, epi starts from the point where both are shown out there to right a wrong..She was there to talk to her BIL for dowry just for her SISTER and he was there to get their home back where he was thrown out with his sister and today he bought it for his SISTER. Both have a mission ...just to protect sisters... the main soul reason of his life ..Anjali and her is Payal and these two sisters become the reason for their union.

These two epis show his image of success...paisa...money and power but besides getting all his ego is still there hurting him in return ...the GREAT ASR is still 14 years old child playing these hide and seek games ...with himself to beat the odds of his painful past

Love, pyar, mohabbat, one believes in it with all of her passion... Love is her name.

The other hates these words with the same passion...claiming nothing matters, no one matters yet he is a symbol of love layered with hateful pain.

The brain behind closed eyes in pain, reeling his past while the heart was on a ramp with fearful, confused eyes and the heart of the brain senses it instantly.

Whatever you feel I feel...started right here, at this moment.

The brain opens his eyes and finds his heart with the unknown beat and eyes meet the very first time.

They are meeting at a crowded place ...awww...the pull which was making them unaware of their surroundings set the fire right there...She fell on his heart which picked up that thudding beat by seeing her mesmerizing beauty and innocence which made his eyes landing over her lips...which later he couldn't resist touching and adoring in the guest house...but at this moment the alarm rings in him...how can he let that happen. He can't give his heart that permission and how did this low-status gal can dare to do that...she has entered where no one can.A concealed Arnav as ASR...yes the same man will reveal his heart "Dil ki baat where he openly accepts

Kitni sundar hai na Khushi ... uski aankhen ... uske baal .. uske honth ... but not in front of her...she doesn't know that...

Arnav, with his painful state, closed eyes...regardless has won the place but still, peace is far far from his heart...his claim that he has moved on but he was more into this whirlpool of pain than ever ...but a pull...a strong pull makes him ...brings him out of that frozen avalanche which compels him to open his eyes and he follows that pull ...this is destiny but amazingly

Behind closed eyes at that place...his PAST

sitting there in between this war ...his PRESENT

and he is meeting his fate ...Khushi ...in front of his eyes...his FUTURE

because this pull of future is what makes him forget everything in diwali, in heer ranjha, and he even on wedding night when he says

khushi mein aaj tumhare saamne khada hoon..par nafrat aur dard keh elawah kuch nahi... [Khushi ! i am here just because of you,but there is nothing more than hate and pain...]

yes that is the same as here...

Before I move on this fall has my eyes on...just like ASR

and here she comes right in his arms

The moment she falls in his arms .. he is lost, she is lost as no one else exists in their surroundings... but Khushi's embrace around him... before she starts to struggle in his arms ... while he was lost in her beauty ... she was holding on to him ...as always and that rejection in her eyes from his need makes him angry...HE WANTS TO BE NEEDED...even though it was so early but he liked it...that she was holding on to him... which he doesn't care now but this makes him fall for her when he brings her from Guesthouse and she clutches on to him and then in Nainital and this is his expectation at the top of hill when her lifeless hand doesn't do that and his fears starts raging him...

But this first meeting shows the unbearable intensity in between them., when his eyes slowly move over her face and rest on her quivering, half parted, soft lips. She is in panic and definitely feels embarrassment in front of all being exposed... She slowly moves her head and looks at him and reads those eyes and that is a moment his expressions change instantly... Oh, she can read him, how dare she??? but more than a girl like her can have this much impact on him by one touch???how com? Arnav Singh Raizada can't be affected by any girl...Now eyes were ready to insult her purposely just to make sure that he is right... Darkness prevails in between these moments and all he wanted to do just to crush her feelings and his own. Oh, she just has entered where all are banished to even peek...

His Heart!!!

Did he put his foot down by throwing her aside, taking her out of his heart but could he? His heart was not listening to his brain and it might be his inner voice that she turns around for her dupatta but her eyes meet his ... just to tell him the truth.

Episode 2

Breathless moments

This episode takes the breath out of intensity. The intensity of fear and the intensity of losing control, control of desires...

She is in his arms, and he feels her hand where she had unintentionally touched him. Her beauty is what makes him breathless, his eyes scanned every inch of her face, her hands feel her skin the first time, his heart feels her heart next to him. Is he lost? Yes, his stubborn eyes scroll down to her trembling lips. Oh, she is doing something to him, making him lose control, he is damn angry and jolts her in between his arms but still doesn't let her go yet.

But the moment she gestured a little he put her down with rage, more of throwing her away and his men take her away. Cameras catch every tiny moment of this event...

Arnav's hold on to Khushi always remains in the picture...whether she was in his office...regardless he was an angry boss or in Shantivan.In her unconscious, she knows he is her pillar to hold on and we see that clearly when she cries on his shoulder after Shyam's exposure or holds his arm seeing his Jiji and Akash happy at the hill...and always.

Here comes the stepping up either in hate or love towards his love and her towards resistance accepting it because of that.He comes in and asks his men to let her come out. She runs out for her freedom,but his stronghold over her tugs her back to him...

Arnav walks towards her & she walks back ... a cute start of this hate and love chess game which ends by Arnav's checkmate by winning his Queen after kidnapping ...Nah wrong after Daadi's arrival and his claim to jahn mari patnoi nahi aa sakti wahan meri koi zaroorat nahin and he comes to her base point standing right next to her...

Another breathless moment,

Her intake breath, when he breaks her Dori, a shock all over her face seeing his clenching jaws, darkness in his eyes which were trained on him mercilessly, uncaring of his own actions, or how much hurt he has caused.

a set of eyes shocked. unable to fathom the moment.

A row of pearls was scattering trying to break the breathless moment but it was not in anyone's control.

It was unfathomable for her to grasp this strange man in front of her and his actions but he was mad, oh, he was because she has lost him his control, she became the reason to break that shell where he was safe and untouchable all these years. She indeed has affected him at the very first sight.

I just said above that Arnav compliments Khushi during Holi but not in front of her- in front of Nani and Anjali. But go one step behind in these stepping games...after Sangeet he did it...yeh rang tum pe utna bhi bura nahi lagta..never directly and even while adoring her ankles with her payals..these are beautiful in GH after TV biwi game...instead of praising her beautiful feet which he was adoring during Diwali...till he puts mustache on her after Haldi "Khushi tum sach main bohat khoobsurat ho...

Now when he breaks her Dori..look at his face, he is hurt doing that...why because he reads that "Sach truth ...innocence in her eyes which always was there but she triggered the avalanche by reminding him off his mission...saving and protecting his Di...and same happens on the dreadful night when he looks at hers eyes and then lips while standing at the stairs...closing fists...her innocence and her words "Chod dijiye Anjaliji ko

and that happens all the time when he rejects her innocence .. he rejects what is his heart is saying...not mind...and that is why when he tells her the truth while standing outside the GH ...his closed eyes are remembering all of this but those words manipulate and challenge his judgment...breaking Dori ...Duppatta under his feet meaning rejecting the innocence and purity of the PULL which he has and she feels in her Dhak Dhak ...till Holi...when he tells her upon her request "Humari sansain ek ho jaatin hain...

Khushi tries to explain that she came there by accident. Arnav rips off her dupatta. Khushi tells him that she needs to go back to her sister, otherwise, her wedding will be canceled. Arnav tells her to let the wedding be cancelled one goes, and another one comes. He rips her pearl's Dori from her dress.

While PEARLS...Symbol of innocence and purity of emotions which both feel in the form of tears, fears, smiles , pains, but while rejecting her innocence and embracing her with all of these ...in return he felt the same "Har Bar

Yes ...he let her go because he was adamant that she is wo aurat...who looks innocent yet full of deceit...but his heart knew all along that she was innocent...till at the Airport...Kyuon Khushi se door jane main itti Takleef ho rahi hai...

Now link this to ...

Khushi's dream where Arnav embraces her with a pearl necklace and this comes just after his acceptance of "I Love U Khushi on the phone ... in her heart, she knows all the time, he has accepted her innocence but she was still in her bafflement till he gives her again after adoring her with her fav things...chanas...and all accepting her as his...for Hamesha on Rakhi epi...and that day he embraces her putting all doubts and ego aside just keeping the torch of love higher than her imagination...He embraces her and after that keeps her in his safe cacoon.

yes he gets angry when she brings Shyam home but he doesn't doubt her...and that is why when his heart accepts her innocence which he is seeing here ...there was no need of proof...because TRUST was always there but acknowledgement wasn't there...The Truth was in his heart which he rejected in Epi 2 but when he says I love You .. he accepts the truth that ... Khushi was innocent all along.

Then protecting her innocence, her way. She answers him in the same tone as it is, Who are you, and why are you after me?

Her covering her back with her hair...which makes him lowers his gazes right there...WOW.loved this part...He has fallen way down in respecting this Low Standard and status girl right here...she made him lower his egoistic eyes just by mere one-act...but, after tonight, he never will cross any limit respecting her values...not even once ...He drapes her with her own hair when NK is ogling her back...He just can't see anyone looking at her and then he does the same after sangeet...tying up her Dori...He accepts her beauty: "Her Hair, her eyes, her smile in front of Nani and Anjali...on Holi...and later on his redemption night when he comes to apologise. Tum khule balon main bohat achi lagti ho...[ you look beautiful in open flying hair]...This night connects many things of the future from now on...
