Sushpective: The RTR is longer than you thought!!

Hi Folks...First of all...ifyou are visiting this thread, like what I haveto say or post a comment agreeing or disagreeing...or offering a different POV...a big THANK YOU!! I appreciate your interest...which is really the reason I make these posts...😊

OK...Now about todays episode...I liked it better than yesterdays...Nothing too great but good...I thought it had a point...and the point was

That this visit is going to show more of a contrast between Khushi and him ...where they come from...what their backgrounds are...and that is going to cause some friction...So this is not the love track people...It is still the hate track...although pesented in a better way with some "real" differences than all made up ones like the MU which is in his head...

The second important thing was that in IPKKND world it is a month that has passed since marriage ...which would mean 5 moreto go...so We are very far from contract marriage ending part...That does not bother me...If they finish the marriage track now...I think the potential of this track would remian completely unutilized...so I would rather have them spend more time on this...develop the track in a meaningful way before they give up and run to something else...

It is also clear that in his trip ...Arnie will continue to dig holes from himself...because they are still building the long RTR...This is to draw contrast in future when they will have Arnie regretting his action...when he will come back and court Khushi ...This time forgetting about the heat...the toiletries ...and so on...so that the contrast can be drawn...

OK...that is as much predicting as I will do...Now coming to what I liked...

I liked...the first scene...when Arnie looks at Sallu's pictures on the wall and chuckles...😃

I liked how Buaji and Garima knock on the door and then hide behind...Him asking Buaji is that you...and she saying no it is not me...😆😆

I liked when he calls Buajis bluff and asks them to come in.😃

I liked it when Buaji and Garima tell him that there are some people out there to see him...and he goes..Yeah...I called them and walks out with his usual swagger 😃

I liked the entire scene with nbhd women ...the whole sequence was quite funny and Arnies incredulous expressions...

I liked how they just don't get anything about his education or university (Harvard...yeah right!!😃) ...I have to say that has been known to happen in my own personal experience...although no...I am not a Harvard graduate myself...but lets just say a very good university which also goes through name distortion...by the clueless...😆😆😆😆

I loved how the older woman pulled his cheeks...Was just reminded of my grandma who just couldnot get over the fact that hubby had such a fair complexion...😆😆😆

So all in all..I could totally relate to that scene...which was fantastic...

But most of all I liked how the scene ended...Loved the old womens blessings and the level of discomfort Arhi had...when they heard the blessings...

The second half of the episode...about the AC and all...was nicely done...and brought out the contrast even further...Idont blame Arnie for ordering the AC...but I think the CVS made a very legit point by showing how Khushis family was hurt...That all made sense...

Khushis reaction...OK... eally want he to fall in love with Arnie...and not just fight all the time...but the reaction was justified...I am not sure what she will do though...I hope nothing drastic...

Overall a well conceived episode...the bed sharing gives me hopes that the passionate story will at least move an inch forward...Although...I wont bet on it...This look was so auto driver look in a blue shirt and that hair...😆😆😆😆😆😆

On the good side..at least we got a pondering Khushi for one or two moments...during RV and after the AC scene...so better than yesterday...

OK...Thats all folks...I have a 6AM global meeting tomorrow ...so wont be up for long and probably wont post too much...but will look forward to your posts and get back when I can!!!

Lady Universe major confusion on the way though...India IPK world its 1 month...rest of the IPK world its changed to 3 months!!!😕 Mind f**kery continues... I am not sure why the sudden last minute change (with no dubbing either mind you) in timing but this is Great news for us!!!! Atleast someone realizes this is getting kinda unbearable!!!! 🥳

It was clash of contrasting lifestyles and their belief systems. One believes in the sanctity of marriage as saath janam ka rishtha & the other thinks of it as a contractual obligation that would last 6 months. The poignant moment was captured beautifully; the heartfelt blessing reminded them that they are at crossroads. 5 months from now they will part ways...Both seemed hurt at the thought but helpless...The elephant in the room reared its ugly head again...

Every Girl is expected to gel with the in-laws overnight; you talk too much it's a problem. You talk too little that is a problem too. Anything you do or don't do is a problem😆😆😆Today the tables were turned; how would any man react when he is taken out of his comfort zone? Putting ASR in such a situation, even better...👏

Why was Khushi surprised by ASR's behavior? He was the one who did not find the need to answer her folks when she was repeatedly asked about the hasty marriage...Did she expect him to be the dutiful s-i-l overnight?😲 Maybe under normal circumstances, he would be simply charming! But we have anything but normal. To take him out of his comfort zone was her idea. Her idea backfired; it hurt her and her family too. Like ASR, she acts first without thinking of the consequences and then faces the music

In her haste to punish him for his misdeeds, Khushi neglected to think about her own folks. She exposed her folks to unnecessary humiliationHe did pretty good under the circumstances but it wasn't good enough. A bad lunch and then she probably intentionally didn't pack his toiletries to teach him how the lower income survives. Did she think he would quietly accept everything and be the boy next door? He seemed apologetic but the damage was done.

ASR does not care about personal relationships nor is he sensitive to others feelings. To his credit, he did try to make the women comfortable when they hesitated; he explained why he needed his toiletries...He was quite patient when the women ogled and the Haridwar mein MBA...😆

If it was that important that he not hurt her folks; Khushi should have taken on the responsibility to provide him the basic amenities, fresh towels & a new soap. It was an oversight on her part coz she was consumed with her badla. Badla between the 2 people involved is fine with me but when it spills over and affects the lives around you, it's not ok Limit the badla to your home, the RM! Khushi needs to take a share of the responsibility here!

They are not in a loving relationship; not the best of circumstances to visit your sasural 😆That is not an excuse I am giving for ASR's behavior but I was surprised Khushi expected him to be a dutiful damaad. Best thing to do for Khushi, pack your bags & leave; save your family any further embarrassment.


I still think ASR will turn things around; I am seeing a changed man. I think he will make amends after the initial few mistakes. By the time he leaves, the G's will be singing praises of their stylish Kanhaiya...😆 The women have warmed up to him...They think highly of him despite his shortcomings. When this trip is done, KKG will see a changed chui-mui LG and maybe the closeness of the small home will spill over...❤️

5 more months to go... I think every now & then Khushi needs a reminder like she did today; keeps her balanced and focused on the journey forward. Makes her put things in perspective; reflect on her life. What should be her priority? Behind all this OTT behavior, there is a girl who is seriously hurt. Hiding behind a smile and running away from the hurt isn't always the solution.

Finding out why she is being punished isn't probably under her control. But taking corrective measures to mend this train wreck is within her control. For that to happen she has to learn to let go & try to understand this piece of work she has for a husband...😆😆😆 We still want to see the crazy girl but showing the right amount of hurt, the woman in her is necessary...

Not very much from me today either; I mostly agree with your post Sush.

I seemed to have messed up. My comment is on page 2. I am too tired to fix it today. Will use this space to say thank you for giving us a space to talk about the show everyday without taking it too seriously. The best thing about this thread is that the show is treated like what it is, a daily soap.

Was waiting for your post Sush, kept refreshing to see if you'd update. I've become too addicted to the Sushpective

Hi Sush and Spice girls,

Awesome post Sush as always. I loved today's episode, the execution is pretty descent. The contrast is well shown. I guess, Arni is always rich from his child hood. Kushi's self talk made sense and thank god, CV's showed that, other wise no one knows, where the story is heading. Akash told that Payal will never leave him, which makes me think Payash separation is on the way. Loved Kushi, making him sleep on her bed. This shows how comfortable she is with Arnie. Kushi want to show him a contrast between her life and Arnies life, which shows she wants to change him, to live with him.

She thinks he does not know the real world. Both feel the same, the other don't know the real world. Both have seen a real world of two opposite extremes, One has seen the world of positivity, happiness and lived a comfortable peaceful life being poor and the other has only seen the cruel, harsh, merciless, betrayed, unfaithful world and lived a painful life being rich. I guess Raizadas are good at heart but don't know to read hearts. Both Kushi and Bubbly are orphans. The contrast is shown how Anjali is more worried about her child, being blind to the the Bubbly, who is dieing for mothers love right in-front of her, whereas Garima is just taking care of Kushi as her own child, also trying her best to make Arnie comfortable.

Loved Garima, Buaji and Arnav's expressions. Sanaya has to work more on her expressions. Any ways guys it is a decent episode, i enjoyed it.

Gud nite guys, Bye

I watched it @ 08.00ET and we had 3 months? so where are we 1 or 3 months?!!

Coming to the episode, tt was a well balanced episode .When there is a good script Sanaya and Barun just push it a couple of notches up and today was a very good example!!

Scenes I liked :

Arnav working on the same desk in front of DM, the same place where Khushi has had all her raves and rants with her closest confidant. Quirkiness of seeing a Salman Khan poster does not surprise him any more!

Compare and contrast of the the exact same ceremony between RM and GH. The ladies in GH, genuinely concerned about Khushi and ask Arnav whether he will take good care of her and offer the couple their blessings. The money giving part actually happens
and I loved it that they portrayed the entire scene so realistically. Arnav's expressions ranging from awkwardness to incredulous - excellent acting by Sobti.

The episode however belonged to Khushi/Sanaya. The genuine blessing of the old lady brought forth the stark reality of the marriage to Khushi, including the frailty of the alliance. The Rabba Ve that followed was really apt and beautiful (after a long time) focusing more on Khushi's sadness, Arnav picking up the change in emotions after Khushi looks at him, reacts with almost guilty looks.

I was finally happy to see Khushi monologues including admittance as to how she changed his room and he is doing the same. As much as the GH track was planned by Khushi to reveal the incorrectness of the class statement, she herself is going to come to some major realization that she can no longer consistently hide behind the facade of silliness and smiles.

Just as the Cv's did not make a big deal of Khushi sleeping on the bed @ RM, tomorrow A&K are going to share the bed with Arnav already saying, "I will sleep on the left side.."

One of these days in the GH, can we have a scene of A&K sitting on the cot outside during the night, looking at the stars and just have a nice conversation.. no need even to touch upon the MU?

Hi guys, i don't usually post here (cos of the time difference mainly!) but I'm still up today and I just had to point out that the CV's are trying to drive us crazier than we already might be!
