Spice Girls Hangout:Paving the way for RTR!

Finally we got a glimpse into Anjali's thinking. Thank you for this CVs as I was getting tired of trying to figure her out, now it couldn't be clearer what is going through her mind. Anjali being the damaged character she is refuses to come to grips with Shyam's true colors, instead she desperately wants to cling to the past. Anjali puts pressure on her brother to fix everything and for a moment like Riya, I believed she would go as far as to tell Arnav to leave Khushi. Think about it, in her desperate attempt to keep her bubble intact, its possible she pushes Khushi out since Khushi is now the well known scapegoat.

Mami is a complete disappointment, I tried to see her point of view but I'm through. Mami loves both Arnav and Anjali yet is convienently forgetting the fact he's safe today only because of Khushi. Khushi put her life on the line for her husband yet Mami is back to her taunts and putting Khushi down, how quickly she forgets despite seeing for herself what a snake Shyam is.

What a difference an episode makes, the last showed Arnav going out of his way to bring a smile to his love's face and today he is the one who ended up inflicting the most pain. Vintage ASR returned, the one who says harsh words to Khushi only to end up regretting it later. He took out his helplessness on a helpless Khushi and like the rest made her a scapegoat.

As much as I hated ASR's extremely harsh words to Khushi, I will say in his defense this is all new to him. Before Khushi, Di was his world and the only one who held the most importance now he's in love and finds himself holding Khushi to the same importance he does with Di. It cannot be easy for him to be torn between these two especially given the fact Khushi is the woman Shyam lusted after, talk about complicated! I'm glad he was shown remembering everything Khushi did for him, it was much needed after what he said and it will hold more impact when he attempts to make it up to her which will be more difficult than he thinks. Khushi is ready to walk out and I don't blame her, for someone who was already feeling guilty he only added to it and really hurt her. I hope its true that she gives him the silent treatment, he'll deserve it since he does tend to take her for granted.

Hi Sari and SGs!!

Sari brilliant post as always!! Saying yet again, missed ur posts so much and so glad ur back!!!

Wrote an OS today and taking this poem-ish thingy i wrote in it to answer your question about Khushi's decision

"Pal main rajkumar pal main shaitaan yehi hai humaray Arnavji ki pehchaan..phir kyun hota hai humara dil pareshan?
Isliye kyunki woh hain humari jaan aur unsey door jana nahi hai asaan"

I really want Arnav on his knees and then maybe Khushi relenting.as much as RTR would be good idk if i can take another ArHi separation

Today we saw the ASR side of Arnav yet again..the "shaitaan" side..khushi knows that her rajkumar and shaitaan are one in the same but she just never knows when he fill take form as Arnav and when he will become ASR, and neither do we..

Sari u r absolutely right about the trust issue..that is the exact problem of their relationship and idk when it will develop..but one thing is true the split personality of Arnav(Arnav/ASR) is the essence of IPKKND and ArHi relationship..as much as Arnav's behavior made me upset for Khushi..it made me all excited for future epis especially with the promo and all!

Just he other day my friend was like i miss their fights..today i told her well there you have it ur wish came true they are fighting lol...

Coming to other things in the epi!! DB did brilliant acting today! Although idk what Anjali was trying to do with scissors..like seriously was she gonna stab her stomach or something?! She really does need help! Her whole life she has stuck with this fantasy and leaned on her husband or her Chotay but today she feels all alone she feels no one will accept her baby in the world and that maybe even her Chotay will not because of who the father is..i think that is her problem..

I loved how she asked Arnav to make everything better..that was a really touching bro-sis scene..

The end with Arnav driving and getting flashbacks of his Di and then later khushi..its the whole fight in his heart between choosing Anjali or khushi and he can never choose one over the other but then he realizes how he has hurt khushi while angry because of what his Di was doing..i am glad he realized soon enough..and the fbs were very fitting...im really looking forward to that scene tomorrow glimpses of which were in the SBS..lets see what Khushi decides!!

Ahh finally back to making long posts on the hangout and on time..hopefully i can keep this thing going lol!!

oops, he did it again. The foot in mouth syndrome strikes again and man, this time he has really stepped into it.

Sari!

Heya!!

Beautiful post Sari, you've expressed the entire episode beautifully!

I think the basic theme for today was "helplessness" for these 3 central characters.

Like you Sari, I disregard people and their "whinenes" when they can't help themselves. "God helps those who help themselves" is a quote my father taught and applied in my childhood and it is something I have very well carried into adulthood.Yes, we all have families and siblings to let it out on and hold on to for support, but there is a point where we all need to look into the mirror for that point of realization. If Anjali could come to a point of "omg this baby will cause all this and these are the consequences", she very well could've pondered for a little longer and concluded that her husband was a monster who deserved nothing. But, no, she hasn't realized that because she doesn't want to.

I am a sucker for sibling bonds and all because I love my siblings and I liked the scene between Arnav and Anjali today. I see her helplessness and I see her desperation to want to hold on to the last threads of hope, and the only person who can weave those threads is her younger brother. She begs him to make it all right because he can and always does, my heart went out to him, that is something you usually tell your father because he is the superman in your life who can make it all right and that's when I realized this boy indeed grew up way beyond his years and much more than his sister. If his sister was like his mother, Arnav was the protector, the sole-earner, the father and was forced to become the man of the house.
He writes his own destiny and today he couldn't write it in a way that could keep his sister eternally happy, he failed today and he was helpless.

I am not defending his behavior with Khushi, but he was quite heartbroken and frustrated at his failure and helplessness to keep his sister happy. He almost watched his sister commit something that could lead to her death and he has always been scared of losing his close and dear ones, what happened at the hospital really traumatized him and Maami's words proved to be daggers because again, in extension he felt he was responsible for Khushi being around because the only reason she's around is because of him.

What followed was heart-breaking. He knows it himself that he has always taken her for granted and he knows it that he is the only person who can hurt her, dare anyone else hurt her. And today again he went at it and lashed out because he knew if anyone could take it, it was her. He had his back turned the whole time clearly indicating it was his frustration speaking and not his heart. He didn't have the heart to say those spiteful things to her face looking into her eyes because he does not believe in any of it.
And a lot of it was okay fine, cut the crap ASR, but the one line that really did it for me was "at least di would be happy"! W*F ASR?! I defended you when you threw Khushi out on your SR and made her sleep by the pool. I am not defending you on this line. You gravely declared that your sister and your wife were the two most important people in your life, where was that loyalty to your wife today Arnav?
Your di has ruined your khushi, your wife and your personal happiness, its high time you snap out of it and snap your di out of it because she will push your wife away.

Other notes:

The only thing missing from Anjali's emotional blackmail was "chotte tum Khushi ko chod do, sab kuch pehle ki tarah theek ho jayega". If it wasn't there today, I give it 2 weeks tops till she spits out that venom.
Arnav will become the husband and lover now and will be considered selfish because he's doing it all only for Khushi and Anjali will not be able to stand this because she needs to be the only one important in her brother's life. She will try and manipulate her brother and when that doesn't work, because he'll finally be the husband and lover, she'll tell Khushi to leave her brother and this family because she's ruined their happiness and that poor girl will oblige and walk out in Arnav's absence and ignorance because he will be unaware of this interaction.

I know everyone was really mad at Maami, but I strongly believe the day Anjali selfishly becomes the barrier between Arnav and Khushi, Maami will see it and her conscience willl not allow her to ignore it. Whatever said and done, she is righteous in her own way, she has defended Khushi and Payal when needed and she will not stand this happening and watch her nephew like son to be heartbroken like this. She will be the one who will tell Arnav that Khushi walked out because of Anjali and will help him out hence becoming the next ally on Team Khushi.

A good episode. With plenty of fuel to create a fire...

he has hurt her badly this time... the saddest part is she never expected it...she was just learning to trust being around him... he told her tat she should move fwd with him..in the morning n the same guy is accusing her of ruining his sister's n his life!!
whenever arnav hurts khushi..most of the time she is prepared..for it..atleast not shocked..
but today she was completely shocked.. just like diwali times.. when he said those hurtful words after dropping her home...
asr has to makeup to khushi big time!!!!

Great post Sari🤗Loved the points you raised and most specially the gif...perfectly captured Khushi's devastation.
