Alright, Hitler Dadi, no matter how obnoxious and obstinate you are, you sure are doing a hell lot of good to this show. Hullabaloo
Arnav Singh Raizada on his Grandmother - "She has always been like this. She only does what she thinks is right. She expects everyone else to see things from her perspective. And if they don't agree with her, then they are automatically wrong."
I bet everyone watching the episode had a sly smile on their face seeing how ASR pretty much described himself while giving Khushi the status quo on his not so lovely grandmother. It runs in the gene people, the arrogance, the truck load of attitude, the almighty complex. But the similarities end there. Guess the Raizada gene played its magic on Arnav and kept him from becoming a complete douchebag, or better yet, the power of LOWE has transformed him for the better.😆
Yes, Arnav is conceited, yes he thinks he is right all the time, yes he thinks those who don't agree with his viewpoint are at fault. But he knows he is capable of creating mistakes, and he is more than capable of owning up to those mistakes. I have seen people being driven up the wall about this whole redemption business and I chose to wait, to let the writers tell their story, 'cause you gotta admit, ASR's character was extremely well written for a TV show's hero, and I knew writers wouldn't ruin their months of hard work just like that. Khushi gets butchered on a daily basis, sad but true, but writers tend to not mess around much with ASR. I have to say, I was pissed with him when he resorted to the most demented antics to get her back to RM. Now that I look back to it, I realize its because the makers advertised the track as a wooing track where Arnav woos Khushi back, and in reality, he did everything but woo her. Bad promotion techniques, I now realize his ultimate goal was to get her back at RM, by hook or crook. It was one of those challenges for him on the surface, but if you dig deeper, each and every one his actions screamed of desperation. He needed her to be with him, the key word is need, not want, she had become a necessity, so he played nasty to get her back. I was mighty peeved alright, I was enraged even, thinking what the hell has gotten into his head, and how can he possibly stop her from leaving again once the darned contract is up.
But then slowly, but surely, he started to redeem himself. Jalebis, Chickpeas, Gol Gappe, he realized it wasn't so hard after all too make Khushi happy. Pearls, those pearls were his way of apologizing to her for his atrocities on their first meeting, and perhaps for every meeting that followed after. She realized,(too bad the editors didn't, what a demented FB, how the hell would bitwa know what Khushi dreamed about?😆), and that is exactly why we see a Khushi who is reciprocating his advances, who is willing to work on this marriage. And no, his redemption is not done yet folks, this is just the start. I am so happy the writers have not resorted the cliched track of the hero groveling at the heroine's feet and saying sorry, and that is that, redemption done. That has such a a wham, bam, thank you ma'am feeling to it. I much rather prefer this drawn out process indeed. First he got her back at his house, and now, he is giving her the due respect she deserves as his wife, he is standing up for her, standing by her, every step of the way. I have waited so long to see this. Finally, Arnav is transforming into the husband Khushi deserves, a man who respects her, adores her, cherishes her, protects her.
I loved the scene between Dadi and Arnav today. The subtle way in which Arnav, in lack of better words, bitchslapped obnoxious Hitler Dadi was epic to say the least. Loved how he let her know that this is his house, and he respects her but at the end of the day he has the final say in matters, and he doesn't like it when his father's name is mentioned in the house. And then the ultimate gesture, walking out of the room and standing by his wife, 'cause he doesn't think he should be in a place where his wife, his better half is not allowed. Khushi my girl, now that he knows he loves you, he will always have your back, always!
Today's episode was so significant. It is a huge deal when an emotionally distraught Arnav decides to soothe Khushi's troubled mind despite being in a foul mood himself. Also, the fact that he is not shunning her away for trying to reach out to him again shows what a long way he has come from being an emotionally aloof person. Today he owned up to his mistake of marrying her forcibly. He told her that it was never her fault, and it never will be, the fault lies with him, and she should never ever feel guilty for the same. Again, loving the gradual progression when it comes to repentance, making it up to Khushi, winning her back again.

Random Musings:
- What the hadsa? How many times was the hadsa word uttered today?
- Dadi, your talk to the hand approach is getting boring already, find something new.
- Why is Payaliya's hairpiece so fugly?
- Manorama, I agree, you are a right sight better than Hitler Dadi.
- Barun Sobti, take a bow! Barun Sobti + Angst = Brilliance on my screen.
All in all, Hitler Dadi's character brought back the much needed dramatic aspects to IPK, otherwise, I was getting tired of the romantic comedy approach of it all. Great going writers!
P.S Writers, I beg of you, don't make me eat my words by going back to square 1 in tomorrow's episode!😆
