Sushpective: I am glad you came:-)

Hi Sush - you are not alone. Even I was left wondering...what was that all about...Another filler episode; more of a meet & greet with damaadji.

Suit Boot Mein Aaya Kanhaiya...Lekin band bajaane nahi, khudki band bajegi...😆

Garima seems to have connected with her damaadji...After the initial hesitation she treated him like one of them. I really like the new ASR; he seems to have adjusted quite well, at least wasn't complaining or angry. I would have really liked it if Khushi had not misled the G's about his eating habits. Let it play out; allow him to experience the life at a low income household.

With this track ASR will develop respect for the G's. It is a step towards better understanding of Khushi & the G's... Their lifestyle, their soch...I think ASR will really surprise Khushi this time, showing her the side of him that she has never seen before.A kinder, gentler and a more understanding human being...😳

The one we saw at the hospital, the one who paid her bills...His harsh words are meant just for her, a facade which got him all the success but underneath there is a gentle soul who understands what it takes to survive without the luxuries...He handled himself very well today and the G's continued to be themselves...Although Babuji seems to have some misgivings or was I reading too much into it... He didn't seem to warm up to ASR but ASR tried...👏

BD took away the charm of the cooler scene... The forced rabba-ve didn't cut it... Rangoli all over the front yard...I should have known, it's KKG's home...😆She must have requested such OTT rangoli...😆😆😆

What surprised me was a calm ASR... Is this redemption phase already?😆 Or is there a redemption phase?😕 KKG already seems to have punished him enough, KKG style...Tit for tat, blow for blow...His no reaction surprises me & I'm beginning to wonder if he knows already or he is second guessing his decision to jump to conclusions big time...😕

The more I look at ASR's new look; I am convinced this is headed towards realization of their love and understanding for each other...He looks the quintessential cutie patooti chocolate hero material...The Majnu types...😆 If only they could change Khushi's hair to a flirtier look...at least a pony tail...😳

Will the comedy be used judiciously? Will they use this opportunity to let ASR build a comfort level with the G's? When the time comes will he try to understand why they covered up the truth?

I have hopes for Garima-ASR relationship...Will he see his Amma in Garima? Or will it be a babuji -ASR moment... Either way, I think he will surprise the G's & be like a son they never had. This track has so much potential; I only hope it is not lost in the mindless comedy yet again. Can we have more of a relationship building track?

So I did it yesterday; tempted the IPKKND jinx monster and look what happened.

I knew that things were going downhill when the episode started with Shyam finagling the soap out of Bubbly's hands. No, I do not have a problem with Shyam getting to this mysterious file; what I have a problem with, is more mindnumbing timepass at this stage of the game. Why did Bubbly need to get the soap yesterday if she was only to give it up right away? Ugh. And did we really need that tidbit about the versatility of glycerine soap over Lifebuoy? Ugh Ugh

The Rangoli naach was cute and all, and I suppose there's some profound symbolism in that walk Arnav took to get to Khushi, but I'm fresh out of patience for this kind of stuff. Barun and Sanaya's rabba ve expressions are looking tired, overused and bored. It is very clear that the script isn't inspiring them any more. Huge huge red flag.

The Gupta house sequences were yawn-inducing for the most part; the cooler was way overdone. Liked: Arnav calling Garima "Aunty" 'I found it really sweet for some reason.

Did not like: Khushi again engineering a dietary problem for Arnav. Really? Didn't we go through this just last week?

The washbasin/sink with broken mirror bit was awful. That broken mirror was actually just pieces of mirror stuck on cardboard, looks like they broke the mirror from Arnav's washroom at RM. Yes, CVs, we notice everything, particularly when there isn't anything called a story to distract us. Who keeps a mirror like that in the house? And was Arnav's "Kahaan phas gaya main" really necessary? This was NOT the first time he's set foot in the house. Didn't get it.

Overall, I would have accepted this episode as a filler and maybe even enjoyed it had this been shown in February or March. Now that we're well over two months into the marriage track, today was unacceptable.

CVs, pardon my French but... MOVE THE F&^# ON!!!

Nice episode. I thought it set the stage for reveal number 1 for Arnie and Khushi talking to him in his own language continued from yesterday. Not bad at all.

The rangoli scene was good.

Her hopping across like a bunny and then guiding him across that big (WTH?) rangoli and making him turn around in circles... total kida...

Yesterday, they got the rabba ve right and the aftermath almost right. Today it was the opposite. The rabba ves were strictly OK. It was the aftermath of each that was nice.

So this time, he trips and she holds him --- with both hands , of course!! --- what with him being a big macho man and all. Rabba ve.. meh. But then, she lets go of one hand and teases him with "chod de?" . He acknowledges the role reversal with quirk of an eyebrow. And then she, just like him, manufactures a face saving excuse and pulls him out. As I said, the aftermath .. cute. Of course, plenty of opportunity for everyone to look for signs and symbolism. Need to give the fandom something, right?

This time she used his tactics - using the rangoli as an excuse to pull him out - and he gets it, making the second rabba-ve more interesting.

Pulling him out of the rangoli, pulls him much too close and another rabba-ve. A nicer one because this time he stares at her as if searching for something - as he used to before -instead of the puppy dog look he has been using more recently. The brain might be on a slow-as-molasses come-back trip. Again, the aftermath, more interesting. They both look away and then they both look at each other again, both looking for something in each other's eyes this time. And then both taking the time to come out of the trance. Good.

Khushi messing with his food again- Don't get it.

Arnie getting used to middle-class life - He seemed fine the couple of times he has been there before. He will survive. Broken cooler, Broken mirror -- none replaced -- their dire financial status (and his role in it being that way ) is going to become clear to him pretty soon, methinks. This will be a significant breakthrough for him.

The rest - blah.

Buaji and Garima -- Sweet. Garima has expressions this time around.

Payal- Miss. B- Maami -- whatever.

Shyam and Miss.B -- Shyam got the soap back. yeah, yeah... It is like the freaking scorpion he played hide and seek with the whole sangeet week. Just go and get the key made before you loose it again, you moron!

Edit: Sush, Just read your post. You don't see the above. Kya yaar... am I being too optimistic??

Lady Universe I am right there with you...this was a total SATYANASH Episode at so many levels i dont even know where to begin 😕

Hi Sush and spice girls,

Sush, exactly i felt the same. The caring is missing from Kushi's side. I am loosing my interest day by day, the story telling is very bad. I know all these episodes are really needed, but the execution is very bad. When ever Sanaya is taking screen space, i am hell irritated. I cannot bear her any more on screen. Her acting is no more impressing. An example in today's Rabbavae, even being Sick, we can feel the Sparks in Baruns eyes, and nothing in Sanayas.

The recent style of Kushi is a big let down. I started this show, impressed with Kushi's character and used to feel bad about Barun's acting, but now, everything has changed. Barun has become a better actor than Sanaya and Kushi character, irritating. I don't know why, now a days i am not enjoying the Chemistry anymore.

Hey Sush and Spicegirls! Finally a bit relaxed today and hopwfully can get more then 3 hrs of sleep tonight! Ugh i hate papers! Well im a number one procrastinator so who am i blaming..anywy getting to the epi...took forever to watch as i watched it in parts during my breaks..anyway to the epi..

First off poor Barun feeling so bad for him..he's looking so tired poor thing but glad he is not having to stress much and continuing to play sick..

I liked that Rangoli scene..a bitsilly but still cute..i guess there was some symbolism there maybe with her holding his hand and pulling him up but yea idk if the CVs ever even intend this symbolism giving the silly stuff they show so im gonna just go with it being a normal scene...

Sush totally with you on this! When i sae Garima acting all weirs and hyper i was like what the!! Issay kya hua? First i was like ok maybe she has forgotten how to play her character since its been a while but nope looks like CVs have fully intended to make her all bubbly as if we dont have enough of bubbliness to go around!

Now that i am on the topics of what the..

Ok too good to be true so the soap as survive through the hose shower and babbly's fat hands and made it back safely in snakewa's palm..poor soap..but makes sensethat the imprint is still there soaps with those trademark imprints or whatever they are called they dont really wash away that quick..ok why am i talking so much about the damn soap moving on..

Ok so the Gupta's are not such cheapos that they would have broken mirrors idk ound that weird and thats something to get fixed b4 ur rich SIL comes over..plus gosh Arnav stop being pivky handwash whateer use the soap...we've all seen what ur "luxurious" bathroom looks like..

One more what the with snakewas that perv shouldnt be anywhere near little kids ugh creepo!

Payal bubbly and mami ugh when will the insults stop even in front of the kid gosh Mami quit the khoon bari tang getting old now...

Now what i liked... I like Arnav calling Garima aunty and asking Sashi how hes doing sweetu Arnav! It was cute Khushi telling him to call her amma!

Agree Sush i found it a bit weird the way Khushi wasnt showing much care for Arnav ita just all annoyance...why does she go back and forth ..but i guess she is just angry that he "tricked" her last time...

Loking forward to more ArHi hopefully idk about this mooh dikhai drama now but it was kind of cute the way Garima and Buaji weregetting scared to approach Arnav in the precap...he looked cute taking off his coat.finally bechara is wearing layer on top of layer

Sush liked the song a lot! Cute boys lol! So much boy band craze these days..especially with One Direction.. my younger sis loves them..well just Zayn, lol l..But what can u do a girl's gotta have her dose of cute faces lol.. I heard this song on the radio sometime ago and liked it! thanks for the link!

Cant remember anything else at the moment..will comment as i read more posts!

This episode was definately a filler, maybe because Barun is not well. Poor thing you can really see it in his face, hope he feels better soon.

Now to the episode, things I liked:

HI Sush
