Pehli Pehli Baar Hai
Jaan Ke Bhi Anjaana
Kaisa Mera Yaar Hai..
Wo Hai Khushi,
Wo Hi Meri Zindagi Ki kamzori Hai,
Wo Hai Khushi
Use Hai Pata,
Uske Hi Haathon Mein Meri Dor Hai,
Saare Jahan Se Juda, Aisa Mera Pyaar Hai
Pehla Pehla Thappad Hai
A wholesome episode which saw both set of families in attendance , reminded me of Rajshri productions ...All the actors in the skin of their characters , even Garima was animated today !!š²
Khushi interested me greatly today even more than Arnav [ which is a rare occurrence] .. I think today we got to see the various facets of Khushi .. we saw a seething teenager absolutely determined to teach the arrogant Man who belittled her right in her boudoir .. A canny operator who knows which string to pull to bring her opposing family on board and amenable to her plans ..A fun loving girl who is intent on having some fun during a wedding , A flighty, impulsive girl who slaps a hot head in pursuit of a mosquito .. A sensitive lass who thinks that her slap landed her Sister's wedding in a soup , genuinely seeks to redress her mistake , a child who instantly forgets her previous hurt and looks forward towards future with optimism and cheer !!
Next in line would be Akash.. A wall flower so far, A pale shadow in front of the bright sun Arnav.. Today he went against his whole family and stuck by Arnav , he was willing to forgo a ritual bec his brother did not want [ never mind whether he himself would have wanted it or not]..No momentary hesitation, no thinking it over ..Just a impromptu , No, such n such function will not be held cos My brother will not feel comfortable..A Man who puts relationship/bond above ritual's!
Nand Kishore ..A self centered young Man enamored of a fresh faced girl, A Immature man who was quite alright with a close relative not attending the wedding but has enough sense to know when to withdraw and when to be quiet.. The scene where he hastily takes away his hand off Arnav's shoulder and moves away ...showing that for all his idiocy, his bravado..he has enough wits to know when to stop pushing the envelope ..
Arnav ..A man of layers who complements Khushi's optimism with his own realistic pessimism .. A Man of monumental ego which melts instantly at the sign of tears , An intensely passionate and sensitive man who maintains the facade of indifference .. Barun was all that and much more today ..
The way Arnav's train of thoughts get de-railed when he sees NK holding Khushi's hand.. The rage which clouds his reasoning so much so that he actually seeks apology from the caller !!.. The resentment is bubbling contentedly when Khushi does the cardinal sin of slapping him albeit inadvertently, accidentally and with no malice ...The fury just erupts and Arnav makes a valiant effort to control his wrath, his violent instinct, his need for physical gratification ..what a change from the man who would not have second thoughts of grabbing her by hand , pinning her and sending vitriolic words scarring her tender heart ...But today he is involved in his own battle as he struggles to contain his anger.. his attempt is not helped when NK tries to intercede on Khushi's behalf ..Just a sharp ' Stay Away , this does not concern you' From ASR is enuf for the young Pup to fear for his life.. It clearly shows the standing of the trio.. Khushi is on par and connected to Arnav while NK is the outsider who will not and does not have any locus standi between them ..The war is between ARHI and no third party will be allowed between them !!.
He has grown to the stage where he cannot slap her back nor give a dressing down but he has not grown to that stage where he can let go without retaliating . The incipient jealousy, his rage , his sense of outrage, his ego all have to be appeased and he tries to do so by cancelling the very thing that is looked forward to by Khushi..In his endeavor to get at Khushi, n in his Immaturity he neither cares that he is trampling on the wishes of his family nor does he seek to know what his younger brother thinks.. His one thought is to make Khushi unhappy and he strives for that ..but is he sated by this act..no, he still simmers ...only for that anger to melt like ice cream on a hot summer as it confronts Khushi's tears , once again proving that Arnav Singh Raizada always bows down before genuine emotions and underneath that prickly exterior there beats a heart resonating to every feelings,sentiments !!
