Celebration time - 6 months are up! What a drag that was...Is Khushi upset for real or is she faking it at nani's behest and being the sacrificial self? Either way don't you love the challenge? I dare Khushi to defy him and accept the challenge😉 That would be one heck of a show...😉

Bring on the wooing, ASR style! Tricking her to confess would be wonderful to watch...A Teej(22nd July) wedding in the making like many predicted? I am not an advocate for the cliched elaborate second weddings but they are TRP boosters for sure, anything to hit it out of the ball park😆

Onto the episode - A decent episode, mostly Anjali time barring the first few mins of flirting. Intent was to see her smile😲 😲😲That was Arnav talking. He immediately switches to ASR. I loved that bit, the flirtatious taunting...

Wow! KKGSR ko sharmana bhi aata hai... 😳

The Khushi we know would have countered, "aap hasna bhi jaante hai" but today she was his shy bride. I remembered Khushi telling Garima - Humhare chehre pe muskurahat lane ki ji thod koshish karthe hai, jab tak hum has na de....Today he proved her right😳She has changed this man, taught him to embrace love. She once told him - Aap kya jaanenge kisike hoton pe hasi laane ka sukh, today he experienced it!

What a turn of events, the man who had vowed to make her life hell, did everything in his power to make it just that, now wanted to see her smile. Tumhe mere saath aagey badna seekna hoga, insinuating a lifetime of togetherness😍 Latter part was a TRP pleaser episode, issue based. Several questions crossed my mind.

What triggered Anjali? Did Khushi drive her over the edge?

She was reminiscing over good old days when Khushi walks in against the wishes of nani. Bad move! If there are any lessons to be learned, this was one of them. Never butt in when specifically asked to stay out. But Khushi being Khushi did it again. She was asked to stay out yest but yet she was eaves dropping by the door. Today she couldn't stay out of Anjali's room despite being requested to less than 24 hrs ago.

But that is where Khushi criticism should stop. Coz what followed was bang on!👏 Khushi had some thought provoking lines and Anjali needed to hear this. No more kid gloves, she needs an in your face reality check to get her out of the depressed state of mind or maybe she drove her into one😆 Maybe even a cliched slap would help😆 That was exactly what Khushi did, take her out of the slumber but she will not get any accolades for it, just blame

Some of Khushi's valid pointers - Why would she punish herself or the child? Her dream was to have a child, she should make a fresh start; the child being her future and Shyam her past👏 A rational person wouldn't conclude to have an abortion from any of the above lines, would they?

Is she punishing herself by having an abortion?
Is this to gain more sympathy?
Does she want to punish Arnav coz he said he did it for her and the unborn?
Is this to make a fresh start, sans Shyam or his bitua?
Just an irrational decision by a depressed person?

I didn't care too much about Shyam's bitua until Khushi's little monologue tonight, didn't have an opinion either way. For me it was snake baby, no love lost. But Khushi got me thinking.

*Edited to avoid a political debate, it wasn't the intent of this post*😉

Anjali wanted to have this child more than anything else. So what caused her to change her mind?

All indications are that she doesn't seem to hate Shyam, not a strong reason.
I ruled out fresh start to be the reason cause it could be made even with a child, children can be great healers.
Maybe to gain sympathy?
Self- inflicted wound is also another possibility, a Raizada family tradition of sorts😆 When you feel helpless or you have erred, just hurt yourself. Bro-sis duo seems to have mastered that art😆
Maybe their past, their father MIA in their lives made her decide she didn't want to give her child a similar life?😕

Would Khushi be admonished? All indications lead to that. Her genuine goodness has been her worst enemy. I loved that she always chooses to follow her heart and do the right thing, never hesitates to fess up even when she knows it will get her in trouble👏 Great quality but undoubtedly causes lot of grief. Sacrificing for self -absorbed people has been her forte and SP bahu tradition😆 Viewers love this stuff, more power to TRP baba...After a 3.4, we the bali ka bhakras are game for anything...🤣

Episode picked up where we left off with a dreamy Arnav in a flirtatious mood with his wife. Arnav takes notice of the fact Khushi still steps back whenever he comes near and makes it known its high time that stop! This scene just leaves you swooning!! That killer smile, Khushi blushing and the last tease before finally letting her go. It makes the rest of the episode a blur!! I love that even with his worry for Di, he thinks of Khushi and wants to see her smile. Khushi has changed him so much and she is definately of the same importance as Di now, no doubt about it

Khushi is someone who is impulsive, whose emotions overpower everything else which is why despite being asked to stay away from Anjali she can't. Khushi is not only thinking about Anjali here, she is thinking about her child too. Khushi said all the right things to Anjali but in the end none of it will matter for the family is already making a scapegoat out of her and even Khushi will blame herself for Anjali taking such a drastic step. It is just who Khushi is.

I liked the scene where Arnav held Khushi's shoulder giving her reassurance when Nani didn't allow her to go with him to look for Anjali. We continue to see just how far they've come as a couple, while other relations have drifted apart.

Sari, I too want to know what prompted Anjali to take such a drastic step since she obviously does not hate Shyam. So is it manipulation to get him back? Is it because without Shyam she no longer wants her baby? Sympathy or Punishment? I just can't figure her out anymore

Another thing I want to know is, where is NK? He has been missing from the past few episodes which is odd. I doubt NK is gone, not with his family in so much pain. Plus he was shown as an observer to everything so he must play a role in mending the many relationships that were affected due to the aftermath of Shyam's true colors being revealed

The ME promo has me intrigued, what exactly prompts Khushi to bring up the fact the six months are almost up?? Is she saying this because she and Arnav fought? Is it because she blames herself and wants to leave RM? If so, this could be her way of using this as a weapon thinking Arnav would let her go but she is wrong. Arnav is not about to let go of Khushi for anything or anyone, so what will he do to get her to stay? At first I thought second wedding but the timing is off given the RM atmosphere, so is it consumation? The latest spoiler hints suggest that is the case. Either way, I'm ready for whatever the CVs decide to show, it should be good!!

Hello everyone….still reeling under trp rise/today's flirt/new mE promo….but have to stop hyperventilating or else will actually go dizzy….anywayz…i liked today's episode/loved bits of it/liked most of it….so will talk of good stuff first….arnav's flirtatious actions were top notch..needless to say that..amazing expressions again by the leads..shy khushi +flirty asr=deadly combo….and asr's desire to bring a smile 2 khushi's face….killing….the poor girl was so in need of it…very apt...

rest of the episode was di-fest and i felt it was very imp to move the story forward….khushi again falters by overlooking nani's advice n goes 2 talk 2 anjali..all in good intention but i really felt she deserved nani's anger and mami's anger..she overstepped today…a lady whose husband had feelings for another woman will be understandably devastated…n then to see the same woman is obviously not gonna go down well with her…to top it she reminded her of the baby….if asr gets angry at khushi for this..ill feel she called for it….the strange part on anjali is that she still is lamenting for the infidel husband…cant understand that at all….anyhow….arnav excelled in the emotions part yet again while looking for his di, talking with akash, dealing with di's doc appointments..this man is back in action…reflects so well on the background of both siblings….arnav is indeed the one who has emerged from their sordid past while anjali is indeed the damaged one….very apparent now….

coming to mami..ill really like teh CVs to give some kind of explanation as to what ahs happened to mami as far as amnesia with khushi's love 4 arnav which she saw during cid episode is concerned…she should be shown reflecting all this…she keeps flitting from loopy to intelligent characterisation….

Hi Sari and SG's!

Fantastic post, it really is good to have you back🤗. Loved how you made the connection to how she has changed ASR and how he is has slowly begun to be the perfect hubby she was telling her mom about😊. Does the dream wedding follow next😉

Drama based episode today; laying the foundation for the future track. Loved the first few minutes, ASR at his flirting best and Khushi in full sharmili mode. Absolutely loved the "Wow toh KKGSR tumhe sharmana bhi aata hai"and "tumhe mere saath aage badhna seekhna hoga". The small smile on both their faces so aptly reflects that in all the turmoil surrounding them it is these small moments of togetherness that will keep them going. She turns around to look at him before leaving while his sexy smirk keeps her and the viewers swooning. Awww moment for today was his monologue that he just wanted to bring a smile on her face.😍

What follows was more Anjali and family drama; but I liked the small scenes where Arnav touches her shoulder and asks her if everything is OK when she looks worried and today again when Nani stops Khushi from going with him to look for Anjali; the slight irritation and guilt clearly etched on his face. Arnav really has a difficult balancing act cut out for him and every time someone hurts Khushi and she nods along; he is going to feel strong pangs of guilt.

Mami seems to be joining Anjali in the competition of sabse bada villain kaun? And I'm just going to take it with the flow for now. The abortion is either a ploy to manipulate the family into bringing Shyam back or she is slowing coming out of her bubble and wants to cut all ties with Shyam😕. While I feel that Anjali needs to try and look beyond her bubble marriage; she is justified in being angry because what she wants to do with Shyam should be her decision and not something just trust on her by the family because she seemed pretty capable of taking her own decisions when she asked Arnav to leave her alone and when she argued with the doctor on her decision to abort the baby.

For Khushi; I'm not sure if I wanted to hug her for her golden heart or whack her for her "I will fix it all" attitude today. When will she learn to back off and not interfere with others? If she was concerned about Anjali not eating she could have taken the food in and left the tray there. There was no need on the lecture of moving on from the past without Shyam and to a future with the baby. Again Anjali is capable of making her own decisions if someone gives her a chance.

Loved the promo; it has me super excited. The passionate ASR is back with a bang; it may either be related to the rain romance and possible consummation; or Khushi may be using the 6 month clause to anger ASR and try and leave RM and be the self sacrificing lamb again.Only this time ASR will not let his Khushi get away and we may be on our way to a re-marriage track

I'm off for a 4 day vacation to the Hamptons tomorrow; I was soo looking forward to it; but the dhamakedar promo for the ME; has dampened my enthusiasm a little since I won't be able to watch it live, have i totally lost it😲

Heya!!

Great post Sari, you have presented a lot of thought provoking questions!

Now with the promo, I'm willing to bet on it again, I will stick to my previoud wager and Team Do It!! He's getting possesive and terrotorial now and in their hearts they are husband and wife and their binding in holy matrimony was witnessed by the mother: Devi Maiya! Teej this year will be extra special because they will be husband wife with one soul, complete unionization.

They will do it and Anjali will strike and Khushi will walk out. All that post consummation and Arnav's guilt and repentence will make a very gripping RTR and wooing track. And it will be consistent with Anjali drama so TRPs will defs flood in!

The re-marriage is for after Anjali-Khushi have patched up and when Shyam will strike again.. the next track after this..

And as far as the abortion is concerned, full on manipulation and sympathy.Shyam will come back because of this annoying denail of hers and she will put herself and Khushi in danger. For now, we'll have to watch everyone turn on Khushi tomorrow.

Hiyas Sari...🤗So good to have you back opening the hangout...we missed you, we really, really did!!! But, Good God woman!!! what is this about phangurlling around R-mall??? 😲 Is this what good ol' Mumbai hawa does to you???? 😕 tch. tch...

Just got back from a nice 'ol vacay myself and was glad to see the boy in his choclatey hero duds flirting with a suddenly shy Khushi... Girl, you have been on him, over him and around him in every way possible since he got kidnapped and suddenly you are the shy bride?? WTH??? 😃 And boy, if those coy looks don't say come hither to you, you need to go get checked. Aage badh Jawaan!! All for TRPs, of course. 😉

Which are at a whopping 3.4. 👏 How people love to see women fall apart at the seams or put on a spot just to be saved by the messiah pronouncing, I trust you. wah, wah.. kya baat!

I am not touching the pro-life, pro-choice debate here, Sari. I was glad to see a doctor who was aware of the state of mind of her patient, who stopped and questioned and asked for backup on the decision. A much real scenario here in the states, though I don't know how it works in the desh. Don't have an opinion about what drove Anji to this. All I can say from just watching today's episode, it seems that she has accepted the Shyam truth and what she is struggling with is accepting people making decisions for her. The baby thing is something she thinks she can control and that is what she trying to do... take control of her life. Whether the acceptance of the Shyam truth is enough to keep her away from him, time will tell.

I have one question. Where is the spice?? There is the sweetness from the Arhi equation, the sadness, depression from the Anji equation, the ranjish from the Payash equation and general OTT from the older women. Spice is go ,gone, bents...😭

I may be in a very small minority here, but the negative vibe from Shyam's presence is sorely missing. O Daiyya, how I miss thee Abhaas!!

Barun, Get an effin' haircut!!! 😡

Sanaya, Fire your stylist. W*F color blocked mess of a dress was that???? And if you pick your own dresses, hire a stylist or get pointers from Daljeet.

Daljeet, love the new look. Love that the fringe eyelashes are go, gone, bents. Honey, they belong to the 70's. Keep them there.

Akshay, 👍🏼 . Loving you dude! keep it up.

Deepali, *sigh*. You had your moment and didn't convert it. Sorry, girl.

Glad to be back at the hangout and big shout out to miss J. Gonna miss you , girl!!! 😭

Another good episode.

Unfortunately too many distractions today so the episode got sidelined. Anyway won't get into that. Yet😈

After a great start to the day, where TRP baba has decided to forgive IPK for their sins and has showered their blessings on them,

we get a great start to the episode with 2 mins and 20 secs(credits Aap bhi na for mentioning time😉) of flirty ASR.

And don't we love that? Yes we do. 😍

"Wow, toh Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada ko Sharmana bhi aata hai"

The opening lines of today. and all of fandom melts.

add in a blushing Khushi and a pre-wedding smirk and even the snarkiest of us (you know who you are😉) are drooling on their lappy screens

Complete with the traditional front front back back walk and add in the lines

'Khushi, it's high-time ki main jab tumhari taraf aao, to tum peeche jana bandh kardo.'

and we all put the wicked witch of the east to shame with our puddles.☺️

but Swamiji was trying to cheer his missus up and spread some happiness amidst all Di's doom and gloom.

Can't help but think back and relate to the amma-khushi conversation.🤔

So the Arnavji muskurahat lane ki koshish is successful eh?

looks like we're working on achieving all the things on the list aren't we Arnavji??😃

Anjali in her mopey mood looking at shyam pics and Khushi comes to give her food. Why Khushi? Why did you do this when nani said not to?

Anyway at least she reminded Anjali that underneath the washboard abs, there lies something called a baby.

And the lady ends up at the hospital to try and abort the 3/6/7/9 month baby.

Family realises Di is MIA and go on a hunt. ASR realises she's at the hospital and episode ends.

Yes there was less Arshi today but the little scenes that were there were touching.

Or rather ASR touching Khushi gestures that make us realise how much change or redemption this man has gone through.

Great epi once again with enough material to keep TRP baba happy...

And to prevent us from doing Anjali bashing,

PH plays smart with us and gives us the 2 mins at the start and that thing we called a promo, at the end.

And like Ache Bache we forget the middle.😆

Aj ka VM Anjali Di ke naam

Sari...did i already tell you...How much we missed you?? 😃 Love your take and fellow SG's 👏 You all are awesome...😃

Wow...Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada ko SHARMANA Bhi Aata hai...

Girl's...this is the kinda sharam and haya I have been wanting from Khushi for EONS!!! And heck I am over the moon with it all...4 drinks down and this 2 minute 20 second segment has me going dizzy and giddy all over!!! 😆

Oh and I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Flirty Mr. Raizada...uff the admiration for his lady love and smirk...smile..Rabba Ve was BRILLIANT!!! 👏 Pst...CV's...did you find an older script kya????😆

He walks ahead...she walks behind...he notices ...he wonders and stops and then says...Walk With me ahead into our future...sigh...if she cant fall in love with him all over again heck I will! 😍

Khushi it's HIGH time ki main tumahre taraf aaun to tum peeche jana band kardo...its to the viewers...we come closer to you and listen stop downing our damn TRP's!!! 🤣 Infact tumhe mere saath aage badna sikhna hoga!!! Yup the TRP's have risen...ASR has spoken...romance will fill it all and everything will be back at levels of sheer perfection again!! 😃

Back to the mush fest...I am totally giddy... really I have so many sentiments for this scene really but i struggle...I struggle because I feel i cannot do justice to them today...its si simple and pure and real really that I might over analyze this and ruin it for everyone...so i will leave the romance to what we see and move on from it all. The smiles are back, the love and the caring natures of both these characters and their cores have returned and the feelings are well just left at feelings tonight from my side atleast 😍

The rest of the episode I dont want to describe we might have to rename the show Di ki Nautanki in the future but for now...I will live in the first 2.20 minutes of it all. Yup I havent written a book today because am holding it off for the big Dhamaka!!! What a day...TRP's up, ME promo and still 2 days to go in fabulous story telling!!! How I have missed it all...😳

Song of the evening...it's all good and sigh...it's all really really good right now 😉

Sari 😃

Wow! A fabulous post.👏 Loved your analysis on Anji's situation.

At this point, it is not clear at all, as to what Anji wants/thinks.

She certainly seems to be in denial about Shyam's true colors...she was longingly looking at the old pics of them together.

Khushi being Khushi yet again went with good intentions in her heart and frankly speaking, what she said to Anji was something Nani or Mami should have said...ofcourse, maybe a little time later...

Khushi's wise words seemed to have the opposite effect on Anji 😕

Too early to comment on why Anji took such a harsh and rash decision...she is obviously not in her senses...

But Khushi is going to get reprimanded by Arnav...😕

Did not like Mami's taunt directed at the "Gupta Sisters"...makes me wonder if things are going to get progressively worse, forcing the Girls to think about leaving RM?

Khushi should now step back and let the others take care of Anjali...Khushi - you focus on your life now...for once, stop doing samaj seva...especially when it backfires on you and adds more to your own plate of woes!

Such a well-thought out post Sari; your beautiful words have been missed!

So Anjali continues to flummox us with her reaction or non-reaction. It is not 24 hrs since the apparent reason for her existence was banished from the house and she is lovingly perusing his photographs. She continues to give the silent treatment to the rest of the household and had seemingly even forgotten about the life growing within her until reminded by the saut in didi ki saut. 😕.

Khushi commits a grave blunder by going to Anjali and attempting to offer comfort and advice. However well-meaning her intentions were, if I were in Anjali's place, I wouldn't want to be reminded that my husband was a cad by the very woman he lusted after. But this is Khushi and this is what Khushi does -her innate need to fix everything lands her in hot water time and again, and it is glaringly obvious that it will, this time as well.

Going back to Shyam, it is a good thing for Arnav that he turned out to be a murderous villian and not just a sleazy philanderer with a roving eye. If his only sin had been his lust for Khushi, Anjali and Khushi would never ever be able to co-exist under the same roof.

But today's episode was all about the first couple of minutes. The ASR we have been waiting for is back and how. Khushi's smile at being called out on her bashfulness was adorable to watch as was her shock at Arnav's words that it is about time she starts walking toward him. That's what she's been doing since you were kidnapped, ASR, now we all wait with you to watch her take the steps literally!

Finally, Arnav's sweet statement to himself that all he wanted was to bring a smile to her face was just a little incomplete. An opportunity presented itself for him to indulge in a little flirting with his wife,and forgetting his troubled mind for a couple of minutes, he grabbed it. And we all know his smile was somehow brighter and happier than even Khushi's today. So this is ASR in love.
