PRECAP TO MAHA EPISODE*****

We saw Khushi devastated & broken as she replayed in her mind the cruel words that were thrown in her face. " Why did you come into my life/why did I ever meet you?😡 Everything is your fault! Everything was fine & most importantly my sister was happy. Everything is your fault because if you had not come then Shyam would not have taken these liberties"

Uppermost in her mind is the fact that she blames herself solely for the current unhappy state of the most important person in her life who is distraught because of the state that his sister is in. 😭She has been wronged continuously but despite that she does see herself at fault & as she walks dissolutely across the room pondering on her predicament – she realises that the only solution will be to remove herself from RM. That way Anjali will not come in contact with her, that in turn will give her some modicum of peace & if she is happier then Arnavji will be happier as well. Yes- that is the best course of action as she sees herself as the core root of all their problems.

When she then states that its best that he runs with the faith that its best he believes that they had never met – that is one of the saddest statements that she could have made.😭 She is the sacrificial lamb. All that has gone through from the very start from that crucial first meeting came about because of him so if anyone was at fault it was him!!! Once again despite the grit she has shown on many an occasion we see an oppressed Khushi who is defeated completely as she realises that she does not stand a chance against the love that her husband has for his sister.🥺

Would she be convinced with the insincere stilted almost forced apology that Arnav makes to her as he realises that he is losing the most precious person in his life. Even when he confesses that he said more than he should have- in anger- there is no passion or conviction. Its true to the "character" that is ASR – never apologise & never back down & never accept blame. She acknowledges that this is about Di & then she asks him whether he can cope with his sister's sadness & the final straw is the silence that she is met with at this juncture.😒

You can see the wheels turning in Arnav's mind & at that point the business man takes over with one of his manoeuvres as he realises that as none of his pleas seem to have worked he has to try another tactic & so alas at last – the crux of all the talk for the last week amongst the loyalists on this forum – THE CONTRACT 😡– reared its ugly head as the bargaining tool!! " Do you remember what I said to you on our wedding day- we have entered into a contract marriage & that has not expired yet so you can forget about leaving" this with pent up anger & a look of disgust on his face as he grabs her bag & walks back. Khushi is astounded " so all this that we have been through – you just believe that to be a contract" That statement in itself is the finality & showed the utter waste of the feelings that she had harboured for him & the price she had to pay so far against all odds. For what purpose – what had it served but to bring her back to this point where it had all started with that contract & the ruthless cavalier way that she had always been treated.

ASR knows that the pleas did not work so quick thinking meant that he would threaten her with this binding document🤔 (there seems to have been a lot of those recently what with the will & divorce papers!!) & also to split Aakash & Payal – when we know that its an empty threat like it was played out the last time when she threatened to go back to her Maikay. Then we go back in time – back to the old antagonistic days when they were always at loggerheads – back the autocratic attitude when she tells him that he will always be a "shetaan" 😈who has no cares. All her dreams are shattered when she realises that he has not ever changed & she had forgotten his true character. He was keen only in making things difficult for her when he will induce hurts & break her heart & that ASR will never change. The look that she levels at him with eyes brimming with tears😭 is the look of despair & shattered dreams & all out consuming hurt. You can hear her say " what have I put myself through these past 5 months! For what! What was the point. He does not even know- he has not changed – he is the same unfeeling brute!"

Then we are given insight as to the ulterior motive for his action as she walks out of the room & he feels remorse & wants to realise his mission that before the contract expires he would win her back. And so my friends you have the start of the story from here on in for IPKKND – a role reversal as future tracks will see his attempts to woo her back when she believes that he is the same ASR that took a contract out to work for her, that sent her to a derelict building (incidentally the episode exactly a year ago today was when he rescues her & leaves her at her house), threw her out of his house & car countless times, sacked her, shouted at her & ridiculed her & forcefully married her & threatened to split up her sister's marriage & so the list goes on & on. All these story lines by the way are what makes the drama what they are. I know that there has been a lot of criticism about the character development & about the lack of support that Khushi has had when despite her tribulations she was side-lined for Di. I think that this is deliberate to incite & encourage viewers to have healthy debates👏. I know that the female contingency will feel angst for the treatment that she has been meted out with. I think though that this was deliberate & that the cvs may have wanted this reaction?? Better to show this facet in character which we knew was there all along. The recent tracks have proved that he places his sister on a pedestal & will do anything for her & the same applies with the rest of the family. He has garnered negativity by his attitude & actions BUT is that a pre-cap because now we will be shown how he repents & acknowledges all that Khushi has done for him.

I hope that you "get me" – what I am saying is that we are all disheartened with his character so now will there be a chance that he proves himself worthy & proves that he is changed & so proves himself to Khushi & at the same time proves himself to us loyalists as well. If this was the purpose behind the recent tracks – then it's a brilliant concept – I could be wrong though!! He does say that he was sorry for all the pain inflicted & to be forgiven for all the hurt that he has doled out but that his life's mission would be to win her back.

Finally we see the glimpses of the Khushi we love so much making fun & being teased by her buaji as she goes back to her Maikay. In strides Arnav – his behaviour at this point is a bafflenent & once again we see the old style mannerisms when all he is concerned about is that she has gone against his express wishes not to leave RM & then come the threats one after the other with rapidity without thought without any consideration & out comes that famous one-liner " Khushi how many times have I told you that when I am talking to you –look at me………." This has been used on a lot of occasions & we have lapped this up so many times – is that why its come up again now. There is a twinge of mild regret when he sees the pooja tray in her hands & then despite the vow to win her back_ his anger takes over again & he starts to berate her.

In walks Buaji – must say that I love her character & she is played so well – you cannot help but admire her versatility as she balances the storyline beautifully by adding some good familial qualities & some touching humour & pathos to the drama!!! She then reveals that Khushi has come to celebrate her birthday by eating Jalebi & Rabri made by her hands(IPKKND must go through a time warp as this means that when she was rescued from the derelict building that it was her birthday). ASR has his eyes opened & a beautiful rabba ve moment transpires. Shock😲 & wonderment are shown on his face- on the brink of saying something when Buaji looks at his empty hands & asks where his present his. He gazes at Khushi & realises that once again he has completely mis-understood the situation again.

Let us hope that Arnav redeems himself as he has a long way to go to win Khushi back. 👍🏼In the grape vine I heard that the upcoming drama that unfolds revolves around how he goes to NK to device a birthday celebration & there will be the return of a rain sequence🤗. Following this will show him try & woo her but she will try & distance herself & be aloof towards him to the point that he gets hurt. There is likely to be a re-marriage as well.❤️❤️

Apologies for the lengthy narrative & these are mostly based on my views & I hope that I have not offended anyone!! I had to present my views though & could not stop myself😍

🤗Kitna achha likhti hai aap,...phir bhi comment nahi hote???...

that was n amazing post...what n insight on khushi's side...at the same time u balanced the character traits beautifully...

He will end up repenting,...and the more he is saying the harder his redemption is getting...ASR is making Arnav's job difficult...but ASR has to come out and do the mending only then will khushi be able to accept Arnav with the ASR in him...

Its ASR that needs repetance and redemption,...for Khushi and Arnav to live happily ever after...

So the CV's have no choice to brinf the Shaitaan back...cuz Khushi can not tolerate him one bit...she only has fallen for the Rajkumaar,...where are Rajkumar with the Sundari,...

Sundari has yet to tame the Shaitaan...that will happen with the current track...and the Shaitaan is the one who will finally return her the rightful place and honor in the household...

Which will build the trust and respect from Sundari's side and hence love will be more stronger than ever b4...

Now that is my wishful thinking...Hai Saturday kabh ayega???

Avni...🤗
