This is too much!!!
Ms Khan, Yeh kya kar diya hai aap neh meri saath……… you transformed a worldly girl back into the teenage who used to dream of every lasting love. Seriously, since I watched the episode all I have done is walked around with a huge smile on my face, and gutterish thoughts in my mind…………….
Ok before I plunge in I have a few thanks u's that I must do. To everyone who PMed me, thank you very much. I am in training at work and working on a project simultaneously, not ideal since my training is from 9-5. I appreciate all the encouragement and praise, thank you very much, I will try to write as much as I can. Sandhya, my sweet friend who kindly encourages and reserves my spot, how can I thank you for the support. And I'd like to remind everyone, I DON'T STICK AROUND SO PLEASE PM ME YOUR COMMENTS!
And now to more pressing matters, so ASR is trying to keep the smile on Khushi's face, I don't know if his tactics are working on her, BUT BY GOD THEY ARE WORKING ON ME. I mean please right now I'm grinning like an idiot and staring at my computer screen…… Part of me is disgusted, Jeez S behave yourself is what I'm thinking, the other part is just dancing on a cloud of romance (Dancing on a cloud of romance…. WHAT THE!!!)
Ok so on Friday, I was so rushed that I missed out so much on the great and might Arnav Singh Raizada, which I would like to take up now (may be after I write out my thoughts this stupid grin will leave my face, seriously my cheeks are hurting). I'm going to say this right now this one is going to be enormous…….. thank you for continuing to read, I hope you have a pleasant journey.
Arnav Singh Raizada:
To me ASR was always about control, he controlled everything and everyone. He was in control of his professional life, he established a company, and took it to the top. He brought a house and ensured that each member was happy in the house. He secured his Di's life and ensured she had every happiness money could buy as well as, a husband who was both dignified and didn't mind living under his roof. His gf at the time moved on his schedule, his likes and dislikes were her priority. In summation, MR. ASR LOVED THE DRIVER'S SEAT IN HIS LIFE AND THE LIFE OF THOSE HE LOVED. IT IS ALL ABOUT CONTROL.
At this point, we already had glimpses of the painful past that Arnav has hidden from everyone, but what lurks behind the infamous temper and the whole faade that is ASR? To me ASR wants to control everything and everyone because once upon a time he didn't have control over things and that resulted in the life of his DI being shattered.
I always wondered why Arnav holds his Di to such a position, yes she is his older sister and there is love there but what he shows is more devotion then love. Why, I have always wondered, I assume that even in her shattered state, Anjali never let Arnav feel alone, orphaned, even though they had indeed lost their parents. Anjali is that beacon of light that makes ASR caver down and enlightens Arnav.
I know eh, to me Arnav Singh Raizada has two personalities, Dr. Jekyll, or Rajkumar, is Arnav who always interacts with Anjali, she is the only one who he is allowed to come out and interact with. While Mr. Hyde or Shaitan, is ASR who is Hard, Cunning, Calculated and Shrewd who has learned to play by the rules of the world and WIN!!!
In summary, ASR is the persona that Arnav developed to hid his past behind, it is so dreaded an experience that it shifted Arnav's personality completely. The pain that this experience caused Arnav forced him never to let circumstances get to him to that point again. So where Arnav was quick tempered, but also quick to regret his actions, ASR is just plain ruthless.
In Ms. Khan's words, He is a DARK CHARACTER!!!!
Enter Khushi Kumari Gupta…………
From the second they met, she challenged his control. Showed up on the ramp of a perfectly coordinated show and destroyed it, showed up at the Dargah and had the audacity to tell him he was not in control, and look what he did, showed her he could control her life as well…….. But the only thing his actions did was to bring her closer to him.
With Khushi the more he tried to control her the more she became out of his control…… Infact, somewhere even he realized that he was torturing her in the name of his control. The scene in the rain, where for the first time Arnav came out for someone other than Anjali, when he questions himself, why he was doing this to her, only to be squashed by ASR. Then Khushi's one mistake sends his control over a situation spiraling out of his control, Nani now has the reigns, he has always been in a power struggle with the matriarch, well they say two lions don't inhabit one den now do they. This time he takes control of Khushi and sends her off, but the worst happens, because of his need to control everything, Khushi's life is in danger. For the first time both Arnav and ASR quaked in their shoes. But he managed to control the situation once again, but Khushi was about to take his little habit of manipulating people, tear it to shreds and shove it down his throat. (One of the best Khushi moments of all time)
It had been a very long time (if ever) since ASR had got a dressing down like he did that day, and he didn't like it one bit, but something happened that melted ASR and brought out Arnav…………… Khushi's tears……. Never had anyone affected Arnav the way Khushi had. And he couldn't understand why. The next day when she came to RM to see him, it was Arnav not ASR that asked her if she was ok. Ofcourse by the time she left, she had reminded Arnav that she was not going to be controlled by him, which brought out the worst ASR ever.
So every time there was concern it was... Arnav and anger ...ASR. Where control was questioned, or where Khushi overstepped her boundaries for example with La talking to her about marriage, ASR came shining thru to make sure she was put in her place.
But this time there was a difference, where ASR did what he knew would make him feel secure….. that is intimidate…… Arnav grew restless seeing her fighting spirit that never dies, her tears, her fears.
This was beautifully captured in the hospital hug, where Arnav wanted to hug her, but he has been hiding behind ASR for so long that he couldn't. This instant pushed Arnav to surface more in the interactions before Diwali.
Are you guys still with me. Again this is my attempt to exhaust myself and take out all my thoughts on this forum and hopefully I'll stop smiling.
During Diwali, the attraction was just too strong and Arnav surrenders, but then ASR reminds him he just lost control, and he knows the consequences of losing control. So he crushes her heart and hardens his resolve, yet he couldn't move forward when his defenses are down he thinks of her……..
Skip forward to the Sangeet, here she throws his control in his face, gets people to do exactly what he was wanted and he really didn't want that. ASR comes out, but this ASR is less ferocious, this ASR already knows the Arnav of ASR will never let him be in peace if he truly hurt her. And then once again she threw his control in his face…..
Her rendition of Didi teri jethji was adorable, even he couldn't resist her, he laughed……… and you know what they say hassi to fassi…. Well now, he was fighting for control again but this time it was control of someone's heart, this time the rules were not to intimidate but to win, this time if he won or lost didn't matter because on both sides it was him and Khushi who would win. Which is exactly what he told Anjali when she asked why he helped Khushi.
But things didn't go as planned and once again he was hurt, and obviously he went back to the things he had learnt the last time around control everything and secure his Di's happiness….. But what was different here was that he was angry with himself because somewhere Arnav wanted to give Khushi a chance to speak up to listen to her, and that made ASR even more angry. Which obviously was taken out on Khushi.
Then came the awakening of Arnav with the realization of Khushi's innocence, I have to say over here I am disappointed because the transition wasn't smooth and as an avid viewer of the show I wasn't shown why Arnav realized Khushi's innocence, why confessed his love, but he did…… And that day Arnav realized that now he had two beacon's of light enlightening his way through life……
So what is the difference between Arnav then and now….. Arnav now takes the best parts of ASR but without the malice and hurtfulness and moves forward. Today, Arnav and ASR are one and the same person, this only happened because Arnav realized the depth of Khushi's love for him, she was literally willing to die for him……..
Now to Friday's and today's episode, ASR again is fighting for control, this time though he is fighting to break Khushi's control on her feelings. He now is driving the point home that she may think she can resist him, but really can she…….He genuinely wanted to do something for her but she refuted his help so now he is making her pay, except that he is enjoying the pay back oh so very much because everything he is doing is getting Khushi to remember just how much she loves him.
He is showing her, this time if she chooses to grace him with her trust he will die rather than break it. Arnav never was a vocal person anyways he always showed his love, yet on Friday he acknowledged the beauty in her simple payals.
That is the new and improved Arnav Singh Raizada ladies, for whom my heart goes dhak dhak with Khushi's. Though I loved the subtle hints of the old ASR the one who has control, like when he says, I don't want a scene in the office, thank you for saying that, Khushi needs an etiquette lesson desperately.
Today was another day where Arnav showed his naked (ahem) desire for Khushi, but this time when he goes to kiss her she will be ready, awaiting and his partner the spitfire he fell for, not a begrudging bride, he will ensure that.
But today Khushi won my heart yet again, when she pestered him with phone calls, this is girl I love, just when you think she is down and out, she throws you a curve ball, but Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada has learnt the hard way how to deal with her. I can't wait till tomorrow's mid night rendez-vous.
And finally, Arnav would be incomplete without mentioning his DI, I've noticed that men especially Indian men grow up and take on responsibility in stride. Arnav isn't different, he understands where he should be, he balances his responsibility very very well.
However, all lines are drawn on an epic confrontation, for the first time Arnav will not be happy with his Di when she chooses her love, or when she asks Arnav for Shyam, this is when the past will truly unfold. Where Arnav will have Khushi as a support system, Anjali will have no one, and when she falls, she will shatter, but that shattering is necessary because they say a seed need to die before it can bear fruit. I personally can't wait.
MS GUL PLEASE STOP IT SECTION!!!
1. Please no more scenes where their lips are perfectly aligned………… and no kiss, it makes be behave like a action starved teenager
2. No more shirtless Barun, coupled with hot flirting……..faintwa
3. Please stop this teasing, dude I'm getting hot and bothered, I mean full blow X rated scenes don't arouse such emotions in me. ( I love exaggeration if you haven't already notices)
Appreciation Section:
Barun Sobti: I started watching because of you, continue watching because of you. By far the best job on tv. I mean you have ASR down to the bat, you essentially have had to play this bipolar character and yet you have managed to make both parts of the character so distinct that I think they could be two different people. Well done my boy, more success to you. Also you should by Gul Khan a halwa box everyday for conceptualizing such a character for you. Not to mention Sanaya because this killer chemistry is what keeping everyone tuned in. Oh and Daljeet, because she balances out Arnav perfectly.
Sanaya, I fell in love with you, best comic timing, never overdone and you look so good even in the worst wadrobe on tv. I mean those circus tents that they give you to wear I mostly don't notice because of the fabulous job you are doing. Today, you captured the desires of an innocent girl but the curiosity of a women perfectly, I like that Khushi is going there, I don't want her to be the shy types she has never been.
Daljeet, can't wait for when you get into the confrontation with Barun, you guys will knock it out of the park, though I still don't get why you won't wear a baby bump, it makes no sense to me……….
And if you made it thru to here, thank you very much for sticking around.
Master T ( Tants) you said you didn't want my previous post to end well…. This one almost doesn't lol……..
And this ladies was my two cents for today,( keep it safely, I'll be back on Friday)

P.S. If anyone is wondering... I'm still smiling like an idiot
