Spice Girls Hangout:How I met my wife!

Congrats to the entire IPK cast and crew on episode #300!!!🥳

Very nice episode with the first 3 minutes being pure IPK gold. Arnav frustrated that Khushi is ignoring his gift, switches to ASR mode and forces her to open the gift. As she is opening, he intently watches her face hoping that she will be surprised and like the gift he bought just for her.

The second she refuses, he is no longer willing to take no for an answer.He steps on Sada Haq mode and asks her the reason for rejection, when he himself has brought the gift, his favorite color for her and demands her to wear it. He remembers NK's advice, immediately tones down, decreases his decibel level and requests that he would like to see her in the saree. From demand to request - a giant step indeed for ASR.

He still does not take no for an answer and presses on for the reason and she replies that he may have bought a gift but cannot not buy a smile for her. First conversation as husband and wife where he does not walk out without knowing the reason and she finally vents her frustration, Hallelujah!!. These two are finally taking baby steps to meet at the half way mark!!

Khushi's talk to her confidant (DM) reveals that she is deeply hurt by Arnav's words. She is gently admonished by Payal not to interfere between her and Akash. High time Khushi stops being so selfless and worry about her own life -that reminder could not have come from a more correct person than Payal.

"Khul gaya sari baal" - Is Nani going to help Anjali unravel the knots of confusion? Anjali has slowly started thinking about the incident - while she still has the belief that Shyam cannot do anything bad, she also knows that Arnav cannot be wrong - one conflicting the other, leaving her confused and frustrated.

Loved the wide angle shot of Arnav and Khushi walking towards one another and when they are closer they turn away- foreshadowing? NK- Arnav interaction once again brilliant👏. He admonishes and asks him to use "heart" and not "mind" to impress Khushi.

Arnav reliving their love story from the beginning was very well done, walk down memory lane on episode #300 was fitting. As we remember those incidents we are made aware once again that IPK is not a traditional love story and indeed is love story combined with hate, horror, thrills and madness!! 😉

Hi Sari and SGs!!

Wow for once im updating fast cuz im chillin at my sister's place free from house chores 😉

Today was a good epi but i mostly just enjoyed the first 5 and last 5 min...the middle stuff with Payash and Anjali was good for the story but i just found it meh..sorry i can never warm up to Payash story now it seems...

Anyway getting to the parts i liked..Arnav forcing Khushi to take the gift and she refusing to accept him and him all in ASR mode telling her she ant tell him no and now he finally got the kind of gift he thought she wanted..one he chose, his favorite color..but no she is having none of it..i loved when he softened up after remembering Nk's words and said "main tumhe yeh sari pehne hue dekhna chatha hoon"..this guy is soo irrestible at times like these khushi has great will power lol...and then Khushi talking about how he cant get her to smile and all and the sad music liked that...although im still confused with khushi's feelings like some other SGs..i know she is upset about the contract and also all the other problems in the house like her sisters but still she can at least remember his midnight wish that was really meaningful on his part...

Anyway movin on i liked how next Arnav went and complained to Nk how his plan didnt work! Gosh this jodi is rocking!!

Khushi should just focus on her relationship with Arnav rather then try to fix things for everyone...in an attempt to fix things for Payash she is just messing them up and seriously khushi u think sending them in a honeymoon will fix everything..dont give such ideas to Akash right now..i mean Di ka kya hoga..Di itni pareshani se guzar rahi hai aur tum chathi ho yeh honeymoon jayein..khushi ji aap bhi na bilkul sanka devi ho 😆...apne aur Arnavji ke honeymoon ka soch lo eoh bhi toh itne stresses rehay hain itne din..he needs a break too 😉..

Ok then my last fave scene..the NK-Nanav one at the end..that was soo adorable! The way he opened up to him and NK's reaction lol!! Barun's expressions were amazing in this scene! I loved all the flashbacks...i have never watched the beginning epis so it was a great treat to hear Arnav tell the whole how we met deal..one day i really need to catch those epis lol!


Anyway the precap looks cute..lets see how it plays out!!

Good balanced episode. With a bit of everything. I enjoyed.

Although I do fail to understand when we have been getting brilliant episodes for the past 2 weeks now, what on earth is the hullabaloo with the TRPs. Anyways thats a long rant on its own and I am not getting into that here i'm still recovering from the shock of that drama fest.

Episode starts where we left off yesterday with Arnav shoving the prezzie in Khushi's face. Khushi says She doesn't want it and ASR forces her to take it because he is ASR and knows how to get his own way. So the girl gives in, opens it, looks at the sari and hands it back to him.

"Hume yeh nahi chahiye" and up goes ASR's gussa meter. "But Why?" "Maine tume yeh laine ke ilava koi option nahi diya hai. Yeh Sari maine khud khareedi hai, yeh colour meri pasand ka hai aur iske liye order maine kiya hai. Yeh tumhare liye hai tumhe pasand karni hogi!"

Arnie, my man, you do not corner a girl and terrorise her to accept your gift. Be glad this is KKG who has spunk.

And then he remembers NK, his mentors advice, on wooing her with something meetha meetha and he calms down and asks her to wear it politely. But she ain't going to agree ofcourse not after you force her into a corner.

Confused boy wants to know why? What is her problem?

And Khushi tells him although he succeeds in buying her a gift he hasn't succeeded in buying her smile...

And there goes the famous temper and out he goes...

Now what I didn't get here was, sure he's just spending money on her and buying prezzies and things but the aim behind them is for your happiness isn't it??

She talks to DM and tells her that all this doesn't mean a thing to her because Di, mami and Payash are unhappy, so how can she be happy?

I understand she said she cannot forget his words but if she has forgiven him then why?

But do those small gestures not count just between you two? Does your relationship and happiness have to be marred by the family's happiness? Correct me, I don't know anything about relations, but can a husband and wife not be happy for themselves???

Because I remember the family being happy when all was not well between you two.

If she has no complaints with Arnav, then why is she giving him a hard time instead. Does he have to go around and spread the love within each member of the raizada house to gain brownie points for Khushi??

Very confusing Here. Hope they enlighten on this further.😕

NK – Arnav scenes were perfect. I love the bond between these two. NK's hilarious anyway but he can make a kadhoos man like ASR funny too.😆

BS and KG were fab today.⭐️

What made this episode 300^th worthy was the purani yaadien. NK asking about romantic moments. ASR tells NK how the odd way they met and got to know each other.👏

And NK calling it a horror thriller story as opposed to a love story. I agree NK where is the Lau?? that you so conveniently stole from here...

and ASR realises to make Khushi happy he need to recreate the purane moments hence the ASR in the wardrobe.😃

On the side – Khushi butting in between Payash. Don't girl, your sister is right, puhleej leave them to their own haal and fix your relationship first. Although you still will butt in but if it brings ASR to your rescue. So be it.

Anjali wants Nanha Shyam. Kyun? Bhys? Clearly she doesn't think aap bhi naa is wrong or even her chotte. So how long before she pitches the blame on Khushi?😲...However we got some more insight into her thoughts. She is in denial. She is confused. She doesn't know why her husband was thrown out. She does not understand. Someone in RM need to sit down with her and explain from A-Z the faults of her husband.🤔

Like I mentioned in the previous hangout. I don't want romance. Give me an argument, a conversation so both these budhus know what the problem is between them. Because they aren't going to ever have a rational conversation ever.🤓

VM request by Veeps. Idea is ASR trying to talk to khushi but of course he can't and Khushi gets annoyed and shuts him up so he talks to her when she is sleeping. Just like the show. Nothing new.

300 episodes later we watch still in total admiration...It's had it's high's and has had it's low's but for me this still is the best show on Indian television! 👍🏼

First things first:

lambi sans ander
lambi saas bahar - kiyon kay saas bhi kabhi bahu thi

Interesting facts about 300:

300 is a triangular number, that is the sum of all positive integers up to 24.
300 is the largest possible score in bowling.
300 = 149 + 151 (sum of twin primes)
300 = 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29 + 31 + 37 + 41 + 43 + 47 (sum of consecutive primes)
All human beings are born with 300 bones, but adults only have 206 because some fuse together naturally.
300 m/s is the speed of the sound in the air.
1 cc of habanero chili after being diluted in 300 liters of water still gives the feeling of hotness!

"Sapnay zaroor dekho magar unkay poora honay ki shart mat rakho" (if you don't know where this line is from then chullu bhar pani main doob maro, doc is going to kill me for this one, again!)

With absolutely zero expectations, interesting episode today, had a little bit of everything for everyone. TRP aunties bhi khush, phangurls bhi khush bas Khushi not khush. There were some major issues but I'll get to those later.

Loved loved Nannav-NK bonding again today! These guys are just hitting it out of the park! the one-liners, expressions, delivery, timing, everything is just fantastic.

KKGSR: Haye Devi Mayya, aap ki iss bacchi ka kuch nahi ho sakta, nada! Satyanash - if I knew we'll get her monologue today, I wouldn't have wasted my time yesterday formulating theories and arguments. Chalo.. wayshtage ka zamana hai. I mentioned yesterday that Khushi is a bit selfish and today her monologue confirmed it. She is ridden with guilt - regardless of anyone saying that to her face or not, deep down she holds her self responsible for everything that has happened. Di naaraz, Mami nakhush, Jiji -Jijaji kay beech un bun, she knows that none of these people have openly accused her of ruining Ashantivaan's "shanti" but they haven't reassured her either that it wasn't her fault, what she did was right. The only person who has done both, reassurance and then blame, is ASR. But he isn't even her problem at this point and that's the beauty of it! She is not mad at him, she is frustrated and he is not helping by forcing her to stay. She is hurt for sure because she hasn't forgotten what he said but in a way she has accepted it. He is who he is: pal main shaitan pal main rajkumar. She wants to get rid of her guilt, make everyone happy but she is forgetting that Gauti doesn't like happy people. He likes dhoklas.

Arnie Baby: You are actually getting adorable by the day! Project Manao Biwi is hitting a snag day after day eh? oh how the tables have turned. There are no fairy lights but aap to phir bhi ulajh gaye! Up until the beginning of the episode he was doing things the ASR way to woo her. If you have noticed, we see the Arnav side when he is making plans but as soon as Khushi enters the picture, ASR comes back. The only exception to this was the ME because he felt guilty throughout the episode. So as far as Khushi sees, she only gets ASR trying to shove his wishes down her throat and she doesn't need that shit right now. But today - ASR ki batti jalling. He changed his tone when he asked her to try on the sari realizing ASR isn't going to get lucky ever so Arnie baby better make an appearance. Looks like Arnie baby might come out of hiding and might be here to stay for a little bit! I certainly hope so.

The FBs were awesome. I am all up for recreating the magic since it worked for us and TRP the first time. Why fix it if it aint broken? As is ASR turning into Arnav is a big change, if CVs were to introduce new wooing techniques, that would be too much to handle. I said yesterday that I saw this as Swami track in reverse. Guess what, Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada ko Patanay kay 101 Tareeqay! I for one liked the Swami track, comedy was enjoyable. Khushi has to be manaofied by Khushi's pagalpan only. But everything is futile in the end if reasoning isn't clear to both them about what is eating Gilbert Grape!

Payash - Interesting way to play the blame game. Look for the weakest link outside of your marriage and use her as a trigger to vent out your frustration. Direct communication is so overrated. Who gives a rat's ass right? it is tiny anyway.

Anjai - So you are asking questions. Ok. I will give you that but are you really asking questions? I think you are making veiled statements to please the TRP aunties. Biwi ki saut here I come with new sarees and different hairdo.

Sore points:

1. If you notice for the past few days I have been talking about characters and not the story because there is none! at least not a cohesive one. There are parallel tracks and that's about it.
2. Khushi is in for a rude awakening. One by one everyone is slowly turning his/her back towards her. Mami and Aakash are already against her, Anji is getting there, Nani doesn't count and Payal might be at a crossroads and might crib under the pressure of Payal - the wife and bahu. So all these people that Khushi wants to manaofy will turn against her leaving her completely shattered, an orphan again. Once again, the battered girl has to weather the Raizada shitstorm to garner sympathy from the aunty jis and move the TRP meter a little to the right.
3. The only person who can help Khushi is her husband but they are not on talking terms. Why? Because it is a 22 min daily soap dammit! They can't show everything in one day. Dekhna hai to dekho..
4. ASR goes from carrying Di to her room to not really talking to her in a matter of 3 episodes! Aadmi hai ya Ferrari? Bhy you not spending more time bith her?
5. Khushi having complete amnesia that a volcano erupted in RM, the only freeloader of the house got kicked out and that too because of her! Goes to her BIL and suggests romancing his wife when his sister is stuck in a limbo. Sub chalta hai? Di's sad? koi baat nahi.. baday baday deshon main aisy choti choti batain hoti rehti hain
6. If the so-called alienation of Di is being done to garner sympathy, is it being done at the expense of every other character? Maybe she will gain sympathy but not only because of what has happened to her but also because her chote has abandoned her and this is not just a figment of her imagination. It is clearly being shown. Regardless of ASR spending time with Khushi or not, he is not spending time with his Di. So is the idea for the TRP aunties to love Di and hate ASR? WHAT THE!!
7. I am having a hard time connecting with Di. I don't know if it is Anjali or Daljeet, the story or all of the above. Why isn't she asking everyone? why doesn't she feel neglected by everyone? Her whole family stood there when her world collapsed, why this kolaveri against chote only? If she is supposed to have a mental imbalance it should be towards the circumstances and everyone involved. Why isn't she frantically calling her husband?
8. If this hodge podge, disjointed randomness is for Di to shine, than I hope Anjali or Daljeet can be a bit more convincing and connect with the viewer because Chandramukhi ho ya paro, ki farq painda yaro! Neither one of them got Devdas. So Anjali or Daljeet, better buck up or you might not get the TRP.

Aaj ki bakwaas padnay ka shukriya.

P.S. I have been wanting to write a poem for Di but I just can't connect. Sorry!

Food for thought: ASR is coming out of the closet tomorrow and his chemistry with NK has been mind blowing. I see potential here. Nayi soch anyone? 😉

Hi Sari and SG's! Loved the title Sari😃

Congrats to the entire team of IPK for completing 300 episodes and may we have many many more to go🥳🥳. A number of cute moments made the episode a light entertaining watch.

Loved the emergence of ASR when he "gifts" Khushi the sari, forces her to accept the gift, open it and wear it for him😛. Then remembering NK's words he softens and requests her "main tumhe yeh pehene huye dekhan chahata hoon" Awww but our dear Khushi is not willing to oblige just yet because she rather be the self sacrificing lamb than a young wife who enjoys her hubby's love and attention. What about the months where everyone was happy in their lives while she was fighting her battles alone😭. Arnav is the only one making an attempt to make her happy and give her some attention; so what if he is buying gifts; atleast he is taking an effort, then why not thoda appreciate it😲

Finally an insight into Khushi's thoughts in her conversation with DM; to be honest her monologue left me confused. She is sad that everyone in the house is unhappy so she thinks has no right to be happy😕 She says she is not angry with Arnavji but was hurt at the accusations: now can you please verbalize your feelings to your hubby who is trying hard to put a smile back on your face so that he knows what exactly is bothering you and we can stop going around in circles.

Kudos to Payal today; she is finally speaking her mind👍🏼. It is a good start with Khushi and I'm hoping Akash is next in line. Khushi really needs to stop butting into others business; will this girl ever learn? Today was a classic case of how her interference made things worse for Payal and she still says "mujhe kuch karna hoga", take your sisters' advice woman and back off; not everyone can see the good intentions and golden heart behind the "I can solve the world's issues" mentality.

Naanav-NK bromance a big plus today👏👏; loved how NK coaxed him into sharing his love story, ASR ki prem kahani uski zubani❤️. What I loved today is how comfortable Arnav was when NK repeatedly mentioned that he loves Khushi; he would bite someone's head off for mentioning he is in love not very long ago😉. He recollects the bitter sweet moments that brought them together, with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye. NK aptly realizes this is more of a horror story; but this is ARHI; so not our average couple. While I think recreating the past moments is a wonderful way to bring a smile back on Khushi's face; and as ASR correctly said "jaha Khushi hai vaha pagaalpan aur madnesss toh hoga hi"; I hope he retains his ASR appeal and does not turn into a complete mushy Arnav in his attempt to win her back. Tomorrow he will show her that he will bring back that smile without spending the money for gifts that mean nothing to her. I liked the precap and cannot wait to see how it plays out! While we are at reliving past moments can we get to the incomplete Diwali kiss right away😉

Anjali is finally showing signs of breaking down, of wanting more information, of questioning to know the whole truth; she is confused; she cannot believe Shyam would do all that but she trusts Chote's judgment to. Nani the time to speak up has come, please stop sedating her to calm her down. You cannot protect her forever! She needs to hear the whole truth; to break down and let it all out, turn negative if necessary so that she can move past this disaster and emerge stronger.

Happy 300th SGs...
