One heartbreak is like a thousand lessons.Loving again is learning them.
Sandra McKendry



Akash awaits the arrival of Arnav before even exchanging the garland, while an anxious Khushi awaits Arnav's presence too, her eyes darting forth searching for him when the much awaited makes his appearance quietly, soberly with nary a smile on his face ..Arnav walks past Khushi wholly ignoring her !! A act which baffles Khushi and her eyes fasten themselves on him , wanting to figure out the feelings behind the facade , A gut feeling saying something is terribly wrong ... The ceremony proceeds adn to lighten the solemn atmosphere , Mamaji cracks a joke evoking laughter from all , Khushi too begins to smile , when her smile slips and vansihes as she gazes at the unsmiling countenances of Arnav as his two bright orbs fixates themselves on her emiting pure anger/disillusion ..Khushi is troubled, concerned, confused as to the reason for such steady anger filled glare...The ritual complete PAYASH leave for the next ritual ..Khushi who had been staring at a silent, furious Arnav leaves reluctantly, not wanting to abandon him but yet having to do her duty ..She walks past him, joining the crowd ...walking amidst them yet Khushi can't stop herself from turning back, ...That one confused glance provides the impetus for Arnav to become mobile again..He strides , cutting across the crowd.. ..he reaches her side, walk beside her,, her eyes questioning but unafraid his accusatory and filled with anger ..There right in the middle of the crowd, he holds her hand , pulls her away from the bustle and leads her away from the Mandap and towards their very own TajMahal aka Poolside ...


I loved the juxtaposition of two pairs ..One pair of PAYASH uniting in love their future together as they begin a new life, Another Pair Arnav-Khushi whose love is unraveling, their future becoming unhinged ..one bound by love and the other bound n hate & misunderstanding ... The parallel walk !!..I just could not help recollecting the previous momentous walk with the self same couples ..PAYASH, ARNAV-KHUSHI ...In the previous walk , both were attracted to each other, both loved each other , both wanted to be together and yet they were never close , there was an yawning chasm between them as they walked side by side but miles apart..always looking on longingly at one another whilst today again they are walking behind the same couple, the gulf separating them has closed , they are side by side , each looking at one another but the difference in emotions..If tenderness bound them then, anger binds them now, if love kept them going then, misunderstanding has brought them closer ..The loop closes but it is a loop of torment,suspicion,woe !!..

Sanaya was in form today...The eyes casting around looking for Arnav, the smile dipping when she spies Arnav's angry face , her growing conviction that something is off key and yet having to actively participate in marriage rituals , doing so automatically ..She was good ..So was Barun ...presenting a stony face but eyes betraying the cold, implacable rage .. his passion betrayed by the minute flaring of nostrils, tautening of neck muscles ..stillness !! Another actor who must be mentioned is Utkarsha , she was not in focus, the track was not about her yet she nailed it with suitable expression's ..

The marriage ritual begins downstairs while Deal brokering goes on upstairs .. Arnav Singh Raizada imposes certain conditions for the rituals to proceed , placing Khushi in a quandary ..Khushi listens in disbelief, her disbelieving eyes affixed on his remorseless face , trying to find that young man of y'day who teased her, worked to bring a smile on her , whose eyes lit up when he saw her ..Alack !! he was gone and in his place a stranger stood...tears rolled down as this stranger plunged the dagger into her heart mercilessly , She looked at him askance only to be met by unbending stony look ...The tears which would have had him move heaven and earth leaves him unaffected , a mild jerk of the jaw , the only response ...He awaits her answer and looks content to wait for eternity while the marriage party are getting tensed downstairs ...


Another closure [ at least for me ]...In the beginning of the episode ..Khushi had asked what would you do if ur sisters marriage was at stake ??In reply, he had torn the dori , scattering the beads implying that he will destroy the person responsible and those associated with him/her...he set to do just that ,leaving the final decision on her !! Destruction or creation depended on her action !!



Eyes devoid of emotions, voice icy, Arnav stipulates his condition's..A term where Khushi does not have any option , Tears streaming down Khushi listens as her world crumbles , the dream castles she had built shattering to the earth, the crashing sound heard only by her , her dreams die a slow death, the dying sigh heard only by her heart ..Khushi descends slowly from her rosy dreams to the hard ground , Khushi shakes herself awake m rejoins her family while Arnav takes his place on being queried, Arnav quickly assures Akash & himself that everything is ALRIGHT and stares intently at Khushi...


There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists, or simulate it where it does not.
La Rochefoucauld




The pheras begin, Payal overcome with emotion as the blight on her name is about to be erased .. Khushi lost in her world, a world that is imploding within herself.. unable to share her despair , her mute eues , numb with pain asking, questioning, pleading with arnav while a hawk eyed Arnav remains uncompromising ..The marriage is complete ... Buaji comes and bids Khushi to put the thaal to other side and she entreats Arnav to help Khushi ..Khushi blinking back her tears, hiding her misery, She dutifully lifts the thaal , hands it over to a watchful arnav , whose eyes never leave her face ..This silent interaction is watched in simmering anger by Shyam ..


3 actors here again... SI, BS, AM ...they were damn good..SI presenting a girl who has faced a diabolical condition, A condition which challanges the very roots of her values, beliefs, A girl who had few mins ago watched her love burning up in flames , A girl who became a stranger to the man who had considered her as his own ..She does not have the luxury of crying, she cannot afford to breakdown, She has to stand tall for her family, be the pillar her family expects her to be yet tears fill the eyes,come rolling down unbidden ..A man who was betrayed by a girl , loathes himselh as well as the girl who brought him to his knees but still somewhere in the granite corner of his heart, a residue of softness towards this girl as his eyes momentarily softens and then hardens while Shyam is watchful, impotent anger quivering , his mind racing watching the silent communication between these two..

The second closure was the Thaal ..first there was a thaal in the teej puja which was handed by Khushi when Anjali tells her to , to Arnav..a reluctant Arnav accepts under the benign eyes of the Deity ..Now another auspicious occasion arises , purified by Agni, sanctified by the mantras the Thaal changes hands again after duly sanctioned by the eldest in Khushi's family ..Arhi Accepts each other in front of the havan without being aware of it

The wedding finishes with no hitches ..both the sisters embrace each other with tears in each others eyes..for one it is tears of relief as the stigma is finally washed away for the other it is the beginning of the end ..Arnav turns away, weakened by the tears, guilt in his eyes yet resolute on his intention ..

There is no pain equal to that which two lovers can inflict on one another. This should be made clear to all who contemplate such a union. The avoidance of this pain is the beginning of wisdom, for it is strong enough to contaminate the rest of our lives.
Cyril Connolly



The next scene I liked was when the whole wedding party begin to depart leaving Arnav and Khushi alone..arnav's hooded eyes hiding his real feeling while Khushi stands there hoping for a last minute reprieve , hoping that he will turn compassionate and let her go ..but none are forthcoming..Arnav stands there as if engraved from marble..unmoved by her distress..watches her walking out to fulfill her end of the contract , Arnav walks behind her, walks past and ahead of her while a hesitant Khushi shuffles behind him , her very being protesting against the fate reserved for her but she walks ..walks out of the door which had opened in welcome , walks out into the night as the door clicks shut decisively on her way of life , on her family, on her loved one..Khushi walks away and into the darkness but not alone for right behind her is her knight !!

I loved this scene not just bec now with that shutting of the door not only did Khushi cut the link between herself and the family even Arnav DID ..Now they are a true pair , each heading out in the same direction , each thinking they are alone yet they are inextricably linked together ..Another reason why I lked it was One daughter was welcomed officially into the house while the door was being shut to the other daughter ...

res.. was desperately waiting for you post..

Edited:
Satya,
Today I cried loads for Khushi. She was entering a new phase in life which every girl dreams about and she had many a times openly discussed about her prince charming. One prince charming he is. Knight in shining armor he is. But both are unaware of that fact. He is going to be ruthless. He is going to torment her. He is determined to make her life a living hell. And I am waiting for that day he will come to know about Khushi's innocence. I will watch his reaction a million times for sure. They are victims of circumstances. Time is playing a cruel game on them. But for their own good.This will take them to places they never knew even exists. Trust will be built and foundation will be laid.

Tant, loved loved loved your explanation today. It is "TANTASTIC". šŸ‘ šŸ‘ šŸ‘ I had something to write but after reading you I feel lost and forgot what I had in mind. It is that good. I will not touch the portions and explanations that you have given but will throw some light on the part you have left out.

Somehow today's episode made me take a walk in the past. There were symbolisms, a step ahead in metaphoric wedding, loop closed for some, and correction made for Khushi, good or bad only time will tell. This episode touched me in different angles. I don't know the future but I do know that today, a heart is broken again for the second time and it's been broken by the same prince charming, again.

It was then a dark night when a dark prince opened the doors of his heart to the destined girl only to shut the doors again in a moment. That day because of his actions tears ran down her cheeks and she felt alone in the midst of so many near and dear ones. That day when she questioned him for his behavior the prince growled at her to leave him alone. It was the same pool side he left her at the threshold. His one impulsive decision to stay away from her left her with no choice but acquiesce Buaji's decision on the alleged alliance with Shyaam Manohar Jha. He became her "Destructor" that day. That day because of one decision of Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada, Khushi Kumari Gupta's fate was decided. Good or bad time had answered. It was bad. But did the scars of the heart is heeled??? I guess NO.

Time had passed. Ms. Khushi Kumari Gupta was once again thrown at the threshold by the same Prince Charming in the same pool side. This time the reason is not him. This time the reason is his past behavior. If that day Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada would not have taken the impulsive decision then today he would not have emerged to be the "Savior" and the "Destructor" at the same moment. That day because of his one decision his girl had to bow down her head to the manipulative Shyaam Manohar Jha. The repercussions of his decision have crushed their little world even before it saw the dawns of day. Today, again because of Mr. Arnav Sinagh Raizada, Khushi Kumari Gupta's fate is decided. Good or bad, only time will tell. But, this time unknowingly he became the "Savior" from the very person he had thrown his girl to. But again at the same time he became her "Destructor" again. He broke her heart again into pieces. This time it hurts more as this time he actually owned it. Isn't it Diwali night revisited???

"Out of the Worst come some of the Best".

Last time when Arnav thrashed Khushi out of his life, she had landed in the hands of Shyaam Manohar Jha. She was been handed over to him by Khushi's Buaji. The person responsible for this was the mighty Mr. Arnav Sinagh Raizada. Today, I see a correction of that event happened. Yes, it is the same Buaji who this time had handed over Khushi to non other than the same mighty Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada. Who was the cause of pain last time today is actually the solution himself. I so wanted a Sindoor on Khushi's Maang for the metaphoric wedding, but little I knew that this idea of mine will be used by the Creative Team in a much better way of gigantic weightage. Yes, it was the Shagun thaal and Buaji had handed over Khushi to Arnav; their hands touched and the "Kanyadaan" of the princess is also done. Many have cursed Buaji for her decision over Khushi-Shyaam alliance but today she unknowingly had rectified her mistake. Today she handed over her niece to the only eligible person her Nandkishore had selected. Even in the nightmare that Khushi is facing at the moment and will be in future, the best always happens for her for God never listens to evil prayers. Little does Arnav Singh Raizada know that this is not the end of Khushi Kumar Gupta, rather it is the beginning of their journey together. Roller coaster ride it will be indeed.

But, but, I still want the sindoor to have its place on Khushi's forehead. I don't want her to be stained in eyes of Mother Nature. Ethereally, she needs to be Arnav's bride in true sense when she enters as his wife. In an earthly manner, I DO NOT want an actual wedding, but just want her to be "JUST" in her eyes and in the eyes of Mother Nature and God.

Since we are talking about actual wedding can I ask a justifiable question? If Arnav has to do an actual wedding with Khushi why will he do outside the house??? He is the decision maker of the house and if he proposes to get married to Khushi he could have easily done it in front of both the families? Right? And he could have get married in front of Shyaam with Khushi. In this way he could have taken his revenge with both of them at the same time. But, he chose to do so outside. Hence, if still it is an actual marriage then I must say CVs have not thought this thoroughly.

On the other hand, I don't get the logic of actual wedding at all. Even if he thinks Khushi is backstabbing his sister, he has no right to ruin a girl's life. Who said there in only one possible solution to a single problem??? No there isn't. Why is he not analyzing both the sides of the story??? I understand his mind stops working in anger but why because of his anger, impulse, rage, it is Khushi who always is in the receiving end. My heart really cried for her. Today when Arnav dragged her to the pool side he had hold her wrist tightly, the wrist for which he panicked in the ambulance episode, he didn't even realize that. This is the time ahead. I know the torturous days are here for her for some time and I warn you CVs if you don't get Arnav Singh Raizada bend on his knees and ask for forgiveness from DM and Khushi, then I will term you as the most sadistic team in the world. 😔 This man has to pay for all his actions. This man needs to learn that he is not the maker of the universe. Today I have seen his gloating. His pride when he said "Main nehin jaaonga toh phere nehin honge". That moment I felt I really want to see one day when the entire family will be with Khushi and everyone will say to Arnav, "Agar Khushi tumhein maanf karegi tabhi tum iss ghar aa sakte ho". My heart cried for her today. Her pain, her helplessness, her ambiguity on Arnav's changed behavior, her perplexity on Arnav's sudden volte-face; she was confused, hurt, incapacitated to think beyond reality'everything. But, I want her to revolt back. I want her to revive asap. She is the life of everyone around. I want her to show Arnav Singh Raizada that he will fall in love with her more and more hard this time; more and more hopelessly in love. Then she has to walk away from him only to make him realize that "She" is the reason he loves her. "She" is the reason he cannot breathe again. "She" is the reason he cannot live life without. That is the intensity of love he should have when the misunderstanding ends. This man has to fall harder and harder that he even couldn't imagine and make her the "Queen of his heart".

IMO, the wedding has to be pretense and contractual. If he wants to bind Khushi, he can do so within contracts. The contract wedding will have the opportunity for Khushi to walk out when Shyaam issue will be resolved or when Anjali will know the truth. There are still so many loops that are still untouched.

1. Anjali's statement ' "Jab koi tumse dur chale jaaye tab tumhein unki ehmiyat samajh aayegi"

2. Khushi's Statement - "Ek din aap ko samajh aayega, jo bhi aap karte hain who DM aap se karwaate hain"

3. Lavanya's Statement - "Jab tumhein kisike pyaar ho jaaye to use jaane mat dena ' hold on to it".

How can the CVs keep a loop open??? 😔 😔 😔 I still remember that episode where Khushi tells Arnav "ki humare zindagi mein agar koi aisa hota ki humare saath rishta toh banana chahta par uss rishte ko koi naam nehin dena chahata to usse bada humare liye aur koi beizzati nehin hogi" that means "if any time it happens that when there'z a person who wants to have a relationship with her but doesn't want to give a name, then that would be her biggest HUMILIATION". That loop has to be closed and for that he needs to have a pretense/contract marriage to humiliate Khushi. He wants to punish Khushi and he needs to punish him. Contract or pretense marriage would be her biggest humiliation. If he doesn't take this step forward how can he have the biggest Repentance? How can he give a name to this relationship when the time will come??? This story is all about "Iss pyaar ko kya naam doon". So, he CANNOT give this relationship a name. Not so soon. The name will only be valid when they both will truly, purely and honestly love each other without any condition and only for each other.

Lastly, wanted to say today Sanaya touched me. I loved this below scene where she had to smile when her heart was just shattered. She was brilliant today.

I dont know why the like button does not work when it needs to..Sathya, i was waiting to read what you had to say about tonight's episode...my heart went out to Khushi every time she looked at Arnav with pleading eyes. We'll have to wait to see what exactly went on between them at the poolside, which ended with him putting forth the condition of Payal's marriage. Sanaya looked strikingly beautiful. If it was Arnav and not ASR looking at her, he would have just flipped for Khushi. But here was ASR filled with hatred for Khushi.
Your posts are really something I look forward to after every episode..and of course Doodles opinions in response to that.

Sathya when i came to that last line of the review u wrote, my breath hitched for a minute, reliving that moment, except this time it was with a greater burden than the last time.

the most painful moment for me when watching the episode was when they had come down and the rest of the marriage rituals were being completed she had eyes only for him, eyes looking for a softening, pleading him not to do this, and her heart breaking twice over,
not only cz she was forced to do something that is against her very core of beliefs, but because she is forced to do so by the man she had loved like no other, and the man she still loved despite him wringing the metaphorical dagger deeper and deeper in to her...

and one more thing i read in to it was, the time when Khushi goes out of the door Arnav waits for her, letting her walk ahead of him in to the darkness, so that with his own hands he will close the last door b/w them and the 2 families as u said..
and the moment she passes near him and in to the darkness beyond, her head is bowed which until then she held high and looking at him pleading for the one last reprieve, but here she averts her gaze and looks down resigned to her fate no longer expecting anything from him..

Just an amazing review of a phenomenal episode. And once i read this update i went back and watched the episode once again, keeping all these small nuances in mind and this time the heartache i felt while watching it was magnified tenfold to when i first watched it..

You really weave magic with words and never as exquisitely as today..

EDIT

@doods : I didn't see that post of urs until this second! and i started reading and i didn't even blink away the tears that rolled down my cheeks while i was reading this. Symbolism you have dug out of it was heart wrenching to say the least..
A vicious cycle closing in on them, the repeat of the Diwali incident, just beautifully written that i wept more than when i watched the episode, realizing every second of what unraveled today meant thousand times more than what they appeared to an ignorant eye.

I hope to god these lines of urs comes true,

I understand his mind stops working in anger but why because of his anger, impulse, rage, it is Khushi who always is in the receiving end. My heart really cried for her. Today when Arnav dragged her to the pool side he had hold her wrist tightly, the wrist for which he panicked in the ambulance episode, he didn't even realize that. This is the time ahead. I know the torturous days are here for her for some time and I warn you CVs if you don't get Arnav Singh Raizada bend on his knees and ask for forgiveness from DM and Khushi, then I will term you as the most sadistic team in the world. 😔

And as for Sanaya, she was brilliant beyond all expectations, i felt my heart shattering just as that young naive 18 year old Khushi's..If Arnav made me weep for him, today this utter helplessness inflicted on her by the man she loves,
Sanaya swept me off with that broken smile... Not having the luxury to cry yet having her heart broken in the tiniest pieces and each piece was grinded below ASR's ruthless foot and the pain escaping her eyes as trickling tears, while she tries to camouflage it with that broken smile...phenomenal performance.

Lastly, wanted to say today Sanaya touched me. I loved this below scene where she had to smile when her heart was just shattered. She was brilliant today.
