IP REDUX; The Prodigal Daughter !! - Page 2

Tanthya,

**Will wait for you to complete your update**

Below is my analysis

Aisa Kaam hi kyun kare, jiske liye maafi maagni pade

Only if, this was possible, but sometimes some decisions have to taken, somethings need to be done for the "greater good".

Khushi: The first mistake that she did was hiding the truth from Arnav and Anjali for which she had to pay by sacrificing her most important dream. It could have ended there but to justify that mistake, she did another one that is of striking a deal with the devil not realizing that she is actually signing a death order for her husband. Her, this one action gave rise to circumstances where she had to do things, commit actions that though were intentionally right but were still wrong. She knows she is doing wrong, she knows her actions will require forgiveness not only from her husband but also from the family members but she is doing them because this is her only ray of light in the darkness that is surrounding her.

But how long can a righteous person can go on committing sin before breaking down completely, before being filled with revulsion and hatred for one self and before buckling down under the pressure. If only Anjali knew the reason for Khushi action's, her words might have been different.

Arnav Singh Raizada, who can do anything for his sister, who can commit any sin for his sister, did the unbelievable for his sister thus becoming a culprit in the eyes of the two most important women in his life. One has forgiven him but the other is still unaware of the sacrifices her brother has made for her. She will soon find out but will she be unforgiving especially when she realizes that her "Chhote" has not only spoiled the dreams of a girl but has also cheated her by keeping the biggest truth of her life a secret.

Will his reason be justification enough for her when it will be a blot against her upbringing? Methinks it should not and Arnav should be hold responsible for his that one action but only time will tell what Anjali Manohar Jha does.

Lastly, soon Anjali will know the truth but her need for a perfect world might force her to take an action that will not be right. She, herself might commit a sin against her brother and that girl who always wanted to protected her, just for her own selfish need. When Anjali realizes the whole and complete truth will she be able to forgive herself because she took a decision for which she will have to ask for forgiveness not only from her God but also her brother, his wife and her family.

Anjali - Shyam - Khushi

We always knew the Anjali had blind trust in her husband but her trust in Shyam is really two-faced. She always doubts his actions but will take his explanations on face value. May be its her insecurity that needs the explanation but her need for the perfect world stops her from confirming the genuineness of his words. Even today, she insisted on an explanation from him and despite his avoiding the issue, she pushed him till he answered but did she doubt him? No, she did not for a second think that Shyam could be the person in the wrong and not even by a change in expression did she convey to him her displeasure about his explanation of the chain. She accepted it because for her, her need to keep her world, which consists of only him and her, is much larger than her displeasure of his supposed closeness to Khushi.

But did it really go unnoticed by her? No, because she is shrewd women too. For her, as long as her two worlds, one which consists of Shyam and herself and the other which consists of Arnav and herself are safe, intact and protected, she is the epitome of sweetness but one hint of danger to her world and she is the height of bitterness. We have seen her stiffness, her displeasure with Khushi when Arnav had fainted and she thought he was in danger. Today, we saw it again because she is sensing that Khushi is intruding and is becoming a danger to her world. Thus she, without an explanation, without finding the truth, has determined that as her husband cannot be wrong, Khushi is wrong,thus making Khushi the recipient of her bitterness. This proves that when time comes, in spite of any explanation, Anjali will always choose Shyam over Khushi but the bigger question is, will Anjali choose Shyam over Arnav? Only time will tell.

DM-Arnav-Khushi

Whenever Khushi has asked her DM for help, her answer has always been Arnav Singh Raizada. Today, the tradition continued. When Khushi was at her breaking point, when she wanted help, when she wanted support, she went to DM. Her DM answer was the rise of Arnav Singh Raizada from his slumber. The person who had lost all kinds of hope and has almost given up, today rose back with a decision to flee, with a decision to get back to fight. His motive according to him was freedom but he is unaware that the strength has come from the DM who wants him to be strong and back at RM to support her Khushi. Seeing him today, reminded me of Khushi's words of long back, "jo bhi app likte hain,woh DM khud appka haath pakadeke aapse likhwati hain"

Note to CV's

1. Thank you for solving the "Nannav" mystery. Looks like you do read my notes.
2. Thank you for giving an explanation of why call tracing was not used to find out about Arnav's whereabouts.
3. Thank you for finally having Khushi remembered the phone photo of the will. Just want to know, does this mean that Khushi has finally connected and found the motive behind the kidnapping or is this another googly?
4. Last, what the hell is "Projected Cash flow" from a manual doing on a will especially when its a business definition?

Hola people 🤗

So how was the episode!? 😛 I loved the episode - For once, I chose to ignore - the bloopers because it was the return of the characters and any inconsistency is maaf!!😆 Most of us were not really happy with the way Arnav was being portrayed in the last couple of days - we were scared that he was becoming the "abla naari" of the show -- and he had lost his ASR attitude somewhere and whether we would be able to see him like that or not. 😆 But today - he was back!! Strange if I may say for suddenly the change in attitude is quite confusing - but however - it marked his return! 😃

THE BEST MEDICINES ARE ALWAYS BITTER

I confess, I have been always one of those who lamented the need for Khushi to act the way she does around Shyam. I cringed every time she let him come near her or let him touch her these past few days. But that does not mean, I didn't appreciate her courage and determination. For a gently bred girl of Khushi's moral caliber and one who is madly in love with her husband it must have been torture. That aspect of her mentality was brought out in this episode.

Now, the question arises- was it needed? It is all very well for us to sit in front of our TV sets in our living room and think about ways and means of beating Shyam in his ugly plans. But we are not involved. Seeing things from where Khushi is standing, things are very dark indeed. Her husband was carried out unconscious in front of her eyes to an undisclosed location. Shortly afterwards she gets a call warning her to keep her trap shut or else her hubby will meet his Maker. She has to keep up a calm front in front of her oblivious in-laws. Mami who was her support initially is getting restless and now it seems she is going to be a liability for Khushi, at least for a while. Khushi is finding it tough to keep Mami from blurting out unsavory truths in front of her in-laws.

Her only solace is her good friend NK; here too she cannot be fully frank. She has to hide many of the past incidents related to Shyam. Why, You may ask- Because Khushi is an inherently private person. Despite her bubbliness and friendly outgoing nature, she doesn't let others in on her secrets. "Secrets" is the wrong word here. Anything related to herself- her feelings, worries, dreams, troubles, insecurities- is forbidden to another. She does not share these easily. But everything else that is positive, this child of Devi Maiyya has no qualms giving away. Only Arnav has been privy to her troubles, because Arnav demands that he be told. He feels for Khushi; he knows she is his. And in Arnav's presence Khushi blooms. He is the sun and the flower Khushi simply follows him; nothing is hidden from him. I am talking about her feelings here- Arnav can read her like a book. I am sure that had Shyam been married to anyone else, had Payal's marriage not been in question, would Khushi have hidden the truth from him? Emphatically- NO.

Now she is in hot water. She has identified her husband's kidnapper to be none other than Shyam, the man she loathes. She has also realized that she has unwittingly, in her naivet placed her husband's life in jeopardy. She needs to make Shyam lead her to Arnav. For that she has to pretend; pretend that she hates Arnav; that she is out for revenge; that she wants the Raizada property in her name. She has to pretend that she is reconsidering her feelings towards Shyam Manohar Jha. She knows that Shyam is a cunning devil. She knows that he is a seasoned player. But she has spotted a weakness in him, a chink in his armor- and that is his unhealthy attraction towards herself. If playing on this weakness of Shyam, dangerous though it is, will help her rescue her husband, then Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada, holds her head up, thumbs her nose at the world and says, "SO BE IT." She is breaking inside, she is feeling terribly guilty, she is hurting, she is scared, and she is disgusted every time that horrible man touches her, but she will endure it. Hell, if she can embrace death with a smile for the love of her life, she can do this too. This is her bitter pill and she will swallow it' for Arnav and only for Arnav.

Coming to Khushi's reactions:- does she behave as a wife whose beloved husband is in gravest of perils, does she look like she is missing him, is worried for his health, his safety? Not much? But when has Khushi's reactions ever been normal? Her husband himself remarked once' "Kis mitti ki bani hai yeh!"

Khushi doesn't mope around, she doesn't cry and waste time- why think of the past which cannot be changed? Why fret about problems instead of rolling up your sleeves and using your head to tackle them? That is Khushi's funda for you. When any other SP bahu would have been ranting and raving and going over the top, this girl her got down quietly and determinedly to work. Good for her. Having said that the technicalities of film-making have always been a mystery for me, I still wish this aspect of Khushi's emotions had been depicted a little more sensibly, sensitively and with a bit more of clarity. I have always been a sensible person and have clamped down on showing my feelings to the world at large. I can understand where Khushi is coming from- but does the audience at large? They need to be shown Khushi's worry, despair, guilt everything in a manner that they can identify with, that they can understand well. But never mind, chalega' after all she is Arnav's own Khushi; "thodi pagal hai'. Par cute hai."
