Spice Girls Hangout: DM will lead the way...

Very good beginning to the week with a fast moving episode. Arnav is so close to unveiling the truth about his kidnapper yet is not able to close the distance. The truth is within hand's reach, so close yet so far.

The production team did a good job of incorporating well tied in FB sequences to show the journey from Arnav's departure at the airport to today. The part where he mentions the girl should not be harmed, very much in sync with Shyam's obsession towards Khushi. Shyam looked devious, menacing - a man who totally enjoyed the upper hand in the interaction with Arnav. Abbhas did a wonderful job of making Shyam look like a villian in charge.

There are 2 wills - ASR's shatir dimag was in action all this time expecting the unexpected, thereby messing Shyam's plans. Does this make the first will a moot point and did ASR on purpose keep this in his room to check if Shyam somehow gets his hand on it? One cannot help but wonder what else is there in store for Shyam in terms of roadblocks preventing him from accessing ASR's fortune, effectively clipping his wings and make him tied to Anjali forever.

Khushi continues in her state of anguish and despair reminiscing their precious moments together the previous day. The RM ladies make a brave attempt to cheer her up but in more despair she rushes out to her only confidant during any crisis or tough times- DM.

I loved the verses recited by the ladies particularly the lines "Mat bhool har raat ke baad hota hai savera".."Dauda aaye tera Deewana".. the light at the end of the tunnel is very close for Khushi. Finally Payal in a role she revels in - sister act.

The temple scene was beautifully played out. Like a petulant child coming back to her mother asking for forgiveness, Khushi hesitates to take her first steps into the temple. She implores her DM to spare Arnav and says she is at fault and will take all punishment. "The very Arnav that took me away from you and is the very reason I have come back to you". With the apt FB scene Sanaya conveyed the distraught emotions very well. DM showers her blessings on her child and she returns back to RM with DM guiding her.

I am very very excited about the new promo. We are heading back to the terrace scene redenzvous - part 2. Shatir mind of "business man ki patni" is in action. Arnav will hear the full conversation between Khushi and Shyam and this will forever remove the dreaded etched terrace hug. My mind is looking forward to how these 3 will arrive @ the same place.. all in all very good episode

So SGs

Another week, another round of hate and love heralded for these lovers we like to watch on TV, preferably together in the same frame. But nahi, nahi, abhi nahi, abhi thoda intezaar.

In the meantime, CVs, having had enough of all the speculations on the forum on who the boss could be, this inspite of spelling it out in 10 different ways through the last month-- finally caved and made it very, very, very clear who the boss is. In capslock, bold and underline 7 million times. It is him!!!!

And every single forum wasi had a mind.is.blown moment. How can it be him?? Everyone knows, its always the butler!!! How the hell can it be Shyam, of all the people. The most obvious of them all, the only bad guy in the show (well, kinda, sorta, but apparently, thats for later.) . Whattay zabardast twist!!! 🤣

Absolutely dramatic and well shot sequence this, the first 8 minutes of the show. 👏

So, episode continues from last friday. After getting a punch in, Arnie is pulled back by the goons, his head covered in a black cloth, hand tied, he falters around, disoriented, confused, hitting out in the dark, missing and ends up at Shyam's feet.

And then, it was the unveiling of Shyam as the man in the shadows -- with a really dynamic and catchy background score that is a good match for the ASR tune. 6 and half minutes of FBs underline that he is indeed the mastermind behind it all, it is him and no one else, barcelet and watch in hand , every single question and clue that was speculated over the month in this forum was answered and nothing left to be guessed. It is indeed him and only him. A series of Fbs that would also help the returning TRP audience catch up with everything thats happened since they left. Which is not much, really. Not really in Shyam's world.

So from friday, the blinders that had fallen off, get replaced by a black mask and a blinded ASR makes all the wrong moves -- leaving him broken, defeated and on his knees.

And how much did Shyam enjoy that?? ASR had hit him hard when he had stopped the money supply and left him dependent on Anjali's handouts in front of the watch sellers and the credit card collectors. And Shyam got his back today by having ASR at his feet. Basically, both of them, are having the eternal testosterone driven fight... whose is bigger?? you know, EGO. And Khushi, you poor thing!! There isn't enough estrogen in this world, girl, to counteract that. *sigh*

CVs, if something as obvious as the Shyam being the boss needed spelling out today, think about the second chances thing. That one is NOT going to go down easy. Ease us into it. 😉

Back at RM, a desperate Khushi who has run out of ideas, has Anjali handing her a kambal and talks about rains, closed windows and AC -- ah, good times, good times --- and thinks an extra Kambal might come in handy.

Really, Anji?? Rains + band kamra + AC on = extra kambal.

Oh, Daljeet!! No wonder you want to buh-bye Anjali...

Ah rains

-- Lo romance ka romance bhi ho gaya + purification --- so much better than hand pump, no?? though, I didn't mind that too much either.

Anji, Payal and naani dressed as ASR trying to make Khushi (the viewers) feel better.

mat bhool har raat ke baad hota hai savera

Aur har viraah ke baad basta hai basera

Phir kaahein ka ghabraana

Aur moti jaisa aansoon bahaana

Aur dekh ke ek jhalak teri

Dauda aaye tera Deewana

Khushi making up with DM

was much awaited and has finally happened. Khushi-DM conversations were missed. And DM does show her the way. A blood stain on Shyam's shoes.

Notes:

1) Abhaas was awesome today. Except for that little twitch when he found out about the alternative will, he was all over-confident, gloating self. Sure of himself, inspite of the will googly. He has a plan.

2) DM is back and hopefully, with her the TRPS will be too!

3) In addition to Arnie, even Bakri sighting has been relegated to FBs. Bhys???

4) Anjali, aapke is bholepan ki wajah se to hum aapse itna pyaar karte hain... CVs, please do bring the grey, stronger Anjali into play.

5) Promo: YAY, Khushi!! Unfortunately, you are so going down, girl, at the end of this game.

Sari another brilliant take on tonight's episode 👏

Great Post Sari! 😃

Hi Sari and SG's, Wonderful wonderful post👏👏.

So i see you gals hit close to a century on Thread 3 during the weekend. WHAT were you discussing😆😆. I had an extremely busy weekend and was out so did not get a chance to go through the discussion!

Good fast paced episode and an eventful start to the week! I liked the small fight sequence; they kept it real ' one man fighting a bunch of goons; did as much dhulai as possible before facing the pitai himself😭. Did not quite like the falling to the feet scene but I liked his fighting spirit; the will and determination to fight and learn the truth is back and that is important. It is only a matter of time before he rips Shyam apart😊.

Aha! The big surprise is revealed; our Mr. Good for nothing, cannot afford anything on his own steam Shyam has managed to pull off the kidnap of a business tycoon and has funded the goons, guns and everything for a 10 days now. If this is it, it is seriously the worse anticlimax and total lack of creativity😡. But atleast a lot of questions were answered on the whole sequence of events leading upto and following the kidnap. We now know why he is keeping Arnav alive; some use of dimag by the mighty ASR to add the clause relating to transfer of money to a trust if he does not die a natural death. So does that mean ASR knew his life was in danger? Good to see that he kept options open and was not shown to blindly trust Shyam and his motives. Applause to Abhas - he was brilliant in the entire sequence!

Khushi continues to remain dukhi and in FB mode; loved the scene where she waters the plants thinking of the special moments they shared just a day back😍. Liked that the ladies in the house tried to cheer her up dressed like ASR. Loved the little poem too😊.

Absolutely loved the Mandir scene; her hesitation to go in, great use of FB's showing that Khushi really has forgiven everything and just wants her Arnavji back. I loved how she said that she moved away from DM because of Arnav and it is for Arnav again that she seeks her DM's help and asks for forgiveness. Her faith is back and her biggest friend and confidante will now see her through this crisis in her life😃. She cannot stand to see her Arnavji in pain; Arnav truly is lucky to have finally found his Khushi. Khushi gets the tikka and chunni as ashirwad and this time she hopefully will be successful in proving her innocence and bringing her love, her life back .

I liked the ishara scene with the chunni falling to Shyam's feet; signaling the blood on his shoes. I hope they elaborate on the blood on the shoes thing tomorrow because for those that did not watch SBS it was not very obvious. Finally is there some symbolism in both Arnav and the chunni falling to Shyam's feet😉?

I thought the promo was awesome; Khushi finally using Shyam's own game to trap him, using his weakness against him and if she fails (which i doubt) she will finally realize that she cannot do everything by herself. It has great possibilities if played out well. I totally did not understand the uproar on the forum. Where did the promo imply that Khushi was willing to get intimate/ sleep with Shyam? Wild imagination is what some people have'

SG's - Sugar's take...

What a beautiful episode it was today. Yes yes I know being such a huge BS/ASR advocate, I am not being fair, but that's a roaring lion and he proved it today, he really is unstoppable. If this is him now, we can only imagine the fury that will unleash on Shyam very soon.

I don't know what that was, but it was a total desi-remake of the Godfather. I'll give Abbhas credit where its due, and he deserves a lot of it today. The flashbacks were significant, especially the will being overwritten. That is the ASR we've seen and that's the ASR I love. We always speculated there would be another will, and there was. Continuity well shown.

A major Arnav-Shyam faceoff is happening this week. I'll lay my money on the betting table for Wed or Thurs's episode. A lot will be explained then, everything but how he sucked Khushi in. Now, he will gloat that he's won and ASR has lost both the money and Khushi. He'll hurt him where it hurts the most, except this time, Arnav won't believe a chit he says. He'll play along, by now Arnav knows Khushi and knows she's working hard to save him, he will not believe Shyam.

I really liked the Mandir scene. Very beautiful and very symbolic. Her lines about "Arnav ji ki wajah se humne apse baat karna band kiya tha, aur aaj unke wajah se hum aapse phir baat kar rahey hain". One day Arnav will say these same lines, except he'll tell DM that Khushi brought him here and Khushi made him believe in God and now DM owes it to Khushi and her worship that she is saved (should she be in danger). Khushi confessed her inner-most feelings about Arnav-ji to DM and that day Arnav will confess his inner-most feelings about Khushi to DM. That day is not very far now.

Anjali, Payaal, Nani, that was also a good scene, her pillars of support including Manaorma when time will become hard.

Okay, so I've decided I'm no longer going to bash any character from this show. Call me crazy, but its really not the actor's fault if their character is flimsy and I'm starting to think that all this character bashing is perhaps hurting the actors and making them re-consider their roles. I am positive though, that Dolly will stay back. If her talks with the PH have been going on for months (perhaps since March), then she really does want to stay. And now she knows how much she is loved and the PH will really tweak her character. This is good. BS is back on Friday, the track has already paced up, this week will end on a high note J

Fantastic post Sari!!

Hi Sari and SG's,

Loved your post as usual. I am loving the show again. CV's has used the absence of Barun very efficiently. Love the evolution of Kushi from child to women. Also how she learnt her feelings towards Arnav.

I opened IF only to hear bad news of Anjali leaving. Then I have seen you discussing it in your post. I pity Daljeet, for Cv's not developing her character. No doubt why she has taken such hasty decision. They just used her only for giggling and disturbing. Instead they should have given some intelligence to her character. They made it too blind, without mentioning the reasons why she is like that and why she over reacts for everything.

I am happy to see they are making Shyam's character stronger. Unless he becomes stronger, Cv's cannot implant brain cells in any other character. This is one thing CV's failed to develop. If they hade made him stronger, they could have made Anjali suspecting him and shyam diverting her with clever moves would have been logical and pleasant to watch.

@Sari: I have seen in your post where you suggested Divyanka, I don't know much about her. But i googled about her. She has pretty smile and i have seen few of her videos in you tube. She really suits Anjali. But i think this girl is looking like a lead material and has done only lead roles till now. Do you think that she accepts such roles?

@DiyaS: I never knew you write OS too. It is wonderful.

P.S: I loved shyam's music, which is like powerful sweet poison.

Note: Guys who are interested in reading FF's, I started writing an FF and updated chapter 1. If you have time i would like you to read my FF and leave comments.
