Zu, I read your posts in Sush's thread too, my feelings exactly.
Cutepearl, agree, she is wanting to save Anjali's marriage ... so Shyam has to show her that he did tell her the truth. Then only will she continue to keep quiet.
Nithi and Sunaina ... why does Khushi listen to Shyam? Because she does doubt him, she's not sure of the facts, and besides Shyam has behaved correctly all the time, never put a foot wrong in front of her, so she's giving him a chance.
Why does she not listen to Arnav? Because if she did, they are so strongly bonded emotionally that they would spill their secrets to each other, confess their love and the show would wrap up in a day 😛 So, here's my reason for Khushi - she doesn't listen to him, because she doesn't doubt him, but contrarily, she doesn't want to absolve him of the guilt of breaking La's heart ... if she listened to him and he convinced her of the truth, that would mean that she has to agree he is not a Rakshas, and right now it suits her to think of him as a rakshas, so that she doesn't have to face her own feelings for him, which she has buried ... she is in denial of her feelings as much as Arnav is in denial of his.
Sush, am pretty sure this track is aimed at Shyamu revelation ... at least to Arnav ... and that wil lead to the next stage in Arhi whether it is a forced marriage or a separation, am not sure any more! 😛 And the point is, she doubts Anjali, which is why she will stay quiet ... BUT Shyam in his eagerness to make her doubt Anjali more and more, will make some mistake, which will then make her doubt Shyam and his real intentions again ... and make her break her silence ... or expose him to Arnav.
I'm pretty sure Babuji will not regain his tongue before all the action is over ... that would be far too easy! He will regain it when most of the truth is out ... or just at the climax ... a bit like the police in Hindi movies coming right after all the action is over.
