The Gordian Knot !!

Updated:-

Tant, Gordian Knot indeed. It was cut by Alexander the Great and here we have to see actually who cuts it. Will it be Khushi or Arnav or Anjali??? This is just like the vicious circle I mentioned for the Diyas on Diwali episode. After reading your post, I actually went and try to see some of my works to check what I have mentioned on this metaphoric wedding. I loved today's episode for many reasons. I guess nowadays I am loving all episodes. You were bang on the Temple scene about unknowingly how both of them went closer to DM. Even the kitchen scene, when Khushi started untangling the probable reasons, I remembered how you wanted she to be the first to act. "Equality" factor, right??? Well, let me chant my daily ritual, your synopsis is TANTASTIC. 👏 👏 👏

Description of the episode I won't give but some loops closed and opened and some characters that I appreciated today, I will touch base on them. But the only thing I DIDN'T LIKE is the FAKE PDA in the precap that the CVs are depicting just to garner TRPs. I mean think ahead what is the justification Arnav will have after 6 months to his own family??? Khushi will be accused but Arnav??? Wedding, I get it and not the PDA. I doubt he can save his character.

Let me start with "The Family" talk again. Naa I will keep it short today. Didn't I tell you all the significance of family??? Yeah, family is one that even in the worst of times will fulfill all the requisites with all blessings and pure intentions. Today, I am glad that they didn't accept the token of appreciation from Khushi. You know why??? Because, Khushi might have realized her "Bidaai" is done but it not yet fulfilled in the worldly manner. This is a Metaphoric wedding and if you ponder over all the rituals, it's all done in an implied version. I loved the creative team for this. Except the Sindoor and MS, which had a purpose of humiliation, every single thing is completed in a "Holy" way. Today I have seen a loop of "Truth revelation and forgiveness" opened the moment Garima handed over the Pag Phere gift to Payal for Khushi. Khushi's Pag Phere was completed in the Temple but her gift came from her foster family through Payal. The reason it's "Payal", because of whom Khushi has sacrificed her only dream; I loved the camera angle here when one hand designating the responsibility and another hand is accepting it with full conviction; it depicted as if Garima is delegating the job of taking care of Khushi to Payal which basically should have been to Arnav. It also meant it will be Payal who will reveal the truth behind Khushi's massive step. Garima indicated they can never forgive Khushi but little did she know that the day is very near when she will be the one who will ask for "Absolution". The loop has indeed opened today.

Since Tant has mentioned the Temple scene and also described the Grihapravesh scene, I won't go into details but yeah will explain the many loops that are closed today.

It was that day Arnav married Khushi against her will at the temple. The best humiliation was when he declared "Naa main tumhein apni biwi manoonga aur naa kabhi tumhein apni biwi ka darja dunga". Wow. What a declaration??? Then cometh the best scene I loved from the bottom of my heart, it's when Khushi turned to her DM stupefied, astonished and shocked. Many a times I have said he SINNED in this very Temple and he will REPENT and CORRECT himself in this very temple. It will be in this temple he will have to REDO everything that had uttered and prove him wrong. The same way when the Grihapravesh Parampara happened, Arnav did it unwillingly and so is Khushi just to PLEASE the family members. But then cometh today, when Arnav in the same temple in front of the world and will full conviction had claimed Khushi as his OWN. I loved, loved, loved the amazed, dumbfounded, perplexed expression and unspoken happiness on her face when she heard those golden words. Sanaya and Barun both were perfect in that scene. That moment she started seeing him differently as trying to read him. Indeed, the Paramparic Grihapravesh is done but what I loved most is Arnav's "Unconscious Acceptance" that "She is mine". That is what is called "Faith" and remember what I said on Feb 27^th analysis??? "DM had answered her queries which she raised that day and like that day, today also she didn't get the "signal". How can DM not take care of her true devotee for - "All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired".

Loop closed on Metaphoric Wedding and not the Wordly actual wedding. Also, loop closed on "Biwi nehin maanoonga" BUT still open on "naahi biwi ka darja doonga" which will end of Confession. But I wonder the Confession should not be in the near future. It's definitely needed for the truth to be revealed one sided to keep the story moving but the track CANNOT end without Arnav's REPENTANCE from the "Middle of the road" to the "Temple". That Journey is needed and without that I DON'T think JUSTICE to be done.

I liked the Anjali interrogating scene too. At the moment she is hurt but a true well-wisher for Khushi and Arnav. The controversial dialogue in a past tense when she mentioned "hum sab aap ko bahut pasand karte the" that means now Khushi has to regain that trust and work doubly hard for it's hard to gain trust for the first time and when it's broken then it will be doubly hard for her the second time and w.r.t Anjali I don't see that coming in the near future as I mentioned yesterday. Yesterday's Arnav-Anjali scene was purposefully included as I suspected, hence in future it will be she who will go against Arnav and Khushi. But, as the story progresses, I am dure it will be Arnav who will support Khushi but in the end he has to sacrifice Khushi for Anjali on Khushi's REQUEST. The character of Anjali is at extremities. I am in no doubt that she will support Shyaam, if she doesn't then I will have doubts on her affection for him because, generally, she should be completely shocked either to slip into coma or blindfold herself. Today, Anjali is trying her best to help Arnav and Khushi but when the actual testing time will arrive she will stand with Shyaam, that's for sure. It will be easy for Shyaam to debauch Anjali's thinking process as it is already in a vulnerable state all thanks to Arnav and Khushi.

The best part of today's episode IMO was the last part. I loved the little confrontation between Arnav-Khushi and Khushi-Anjali followed by Khushi's recapitulating the situations and trying to reason out with her own reasonings. As I have always said, what will she say when she herself is unaware of the reason of her misery??? But Arnav'Khushi scene instantly reminded me of Khushi-Lavanya scene on the engagement day. That conversation always had hit me with bullet and I have always waited for the day this loop to open. I won't go into details of Khushi's returning back as fighter since I always mentioned it will happen when she will have the grip of the situation and guess what, who helped her??? Yes, it's Arnav again. Perfect soul mates.

It was that day when Lavanya had requested Khushi to take care of ASR and in return Khushi was quite puzzled. But, then Lavanya advised her some few facts. She mentioned that Khushi can forcefully make Arnav listen what he never wanted to hear; that she is the one who Arnav listens to always; that she is the one who can make Arnav agree on anything; that she is the who get Arnav speak out the deepest of secrets that's been buried in his heart; And again it is today when Arnav spitted the biggest hint that imposed Khushi to start ponder on the "PAIN" that she unknowingly caused Arnav. Lavanya's words were ' "sirf tum hi ek ho jo woh sab keh paati ho, jo woh sunna nehin chahte". She meant ASR himself doesn't know what exactly he wants but Khushi is intelligent and will figure out eventually. Her exact words were ' "ek din tum samajh jaogi, chahe ASR samjhe ya naa samjhe". This track has to come as Khushi needs to connect the dots for her to understand ASR's action and justification. The one confession from ASR that "aur tumne mujhe jo dukh diya uska kya'" made all hell broke loose for Khushi for she have no idea in what context that statement is based upon. Just look at Arnav, he still has that fear of facing the truth from her mouth about her loving someone else and I thank the CVs that Anjali interrupted them. More than the family, it is always your beloved's words that play havoc in your mind and IT SHOULD be that way. Now, it is both of them facing the same pain, one of fear and the other of unknowing accusation. That one pain in Arnav's heart is enough for Khushi to break the Gordian Knot of his entire misunderstandings. Indeed now this loop for Khushi to seek truth is opened.

There were questions that you all have asked me should Khushi forgive him easily??? I said she will REASON with him but when he truly apologizes and the moment she comes to know the reason of his act she will forgive him, indeed. There are certain emotions in love we feel, we don't reason out. She will forgive him may be not easily, but quickly as she loves her truly. Today, when he acknowledged their relationship, those tear filled eyes can never be wrong. She loves him and so does he. The same way when he was at the door and labeled her as how easily she can lie, for it is her forte, we could see again her perplexed look at him thinking who is this man??? Do I really know him??? Is he the same person in the temple just sometime back or is he the same person who dropped me in the middle of the road??? Or, is he the one who protected my honor??? The moment she'll look back and connect the dots she will realize the phone conversation and today being the second time ASR said "Don't you ever do this next time"; she will understand why he didn't get engaged with Lavanya and what exactly Lavanya meant when she advised to take care of him; she will realize why he married suddenly and wanted to emotionally torture her when she will know the truth of Shyaam-Arnav conversation; she will understand each and everything BECAUSE she knows him. She will forgive him for as I have always said whatever the outer shell that he portrays his heart is pure and his intentions are good. As I have mentioned earlier, the best will be when he realizes he was wrong all along about her, he cannot even have the guts to face her. I so then want her to say to him - "ek baar poonch toh liya hota humse???" But then she has to leave him as I say not because he tortured her but because he didn't TRUST her enough.
