Crooner 1.33 : It was their story...UPDATED

Yayyy!! Im First.. Im First!!! *Jumps with joy*

Ok Ok… Im being childish now.. back to normal nw😆😆

Hiee Priyaa and My Dearest Croonies…🤗

That song Priyaaa!!!.. I have been in love with the song from past few months.. Thinking before which song could relate to them perfectly!! This was the song that came into my mind..

I told ya.. They will prove each and every word of this song.. Believe me Priya.. I was thinking same song when I saw the epi completely!! I was happy when they justified every word today…

Those 15 mins and the few minutes later on.. were just everything…

tere mere sapne abb ek rang hain

jaha bhee le jaye rahe ham sang hain

The time when he stood beside her and now she is doing the same.. Each saying to the other… Our Dreams are one nw .. The Dream right now is to fight for our loved ones nad bring back the happiness. However the way is, its bound to be bumpy, Ill stand by you.. We are together.. always. Even if we don't stay together. In our hearts, we are one.

They were destined to be together… They were destined to be in love and now are one.

Today when he kissed on her forehead taking away her pain.. and when at night when he gifted her dream to her, the pearl necklace, he gestured that her pain is his now… Khushi when cried with him the night before this day.. They both said to each other.. from now on.. my happiness is yours, your sadness is mine.

Awww… the way he said today "Mat Jao"…. Telling her he needs her everytime.. She is his strength. His pillar. He needs her support to fight.. The words clearly defined he was so weak.. and just Khushi's simple words made him stronger.

Priyaa.. so true you said.. In all this fiasco, they found time for themselves .. getting ready for biggest test of their relationship..

She is his courage.. Stitching his broken life .. He needs her.. and so does she. I saw that when they longed for each other in their respective house. Remembering the moments they spend on the same day and trying to think in one day, everything changed. A fear then develops in the mind. What will happen to them after all this??? What will happen to their love?? It's a long battle… They both have to take care of so many people… their loved ones.. This time loved ones would be bruised. They have to take care of it and same time take care of their relationship… Its long way… they have to fight together.. and I know and we all know they will…..🤗

Love them Always!!😳

Other thoughts:

A guy, a doting brother who doesn't go against his brother, goes against him today. Tells him, Im not with you today, Shyam should come. He was the person who believed his brother's words. Im surprised at his behavior. 😲😲

I don't want to talk about Anjali. She is throwing tantrums.. Im not against her character.. but worried for her now.. With all the love she is doing this, going against her family, her chote, to bring back her husband, but what will happen they day she realizes the truth..

Daadi… Ohh God!! This woman is comparing the other woman with Khushi. She dsnt knw the story. The "story" she knows about Shyam-Khushi has been said by Shyam. Jumping into conclusions when she dsnt knw anything!! She will have a hard time when she knows the truth. Behaving as if Khushi is an untouchable is not done😡.

Im worried for the person the most is Arnav, offcourse. So many things happened this day. One night and everything changed for him. He is feeling guilty for not protecting his Di and add to it Anjali's demand from him.. I cant even express how he must be feeling.😭. How to make everyone realize Shyam is wrong.. How to make his Di understand this.. How to control situation when everyone is against his decision… He is shattered. But one more thing I know is, that Arnav will do everything from right!! As Priya said .. Pheonix will emerge from ashes!!😊😊

Priya!

Brilliant crooner - a fine piece of literarure you have produced today. "We part to meet" - that was indeed the essence of the episode for me. His "Maat jao" melted my heart but "main jaanta hoon tum ruk nahi sakti..." crushed it. I could sense a bad omen in the air, separation is perhaps inevitable but their soul will always be one .. They will unite. Loved how she stayed back for 1 minute - their moment of silence - their moment of silent prayer, understanding & respect.

"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about."
- Rumi

I have always thought Rumi wrote these verses for these two souls .. I thought they would rise above everything & would unite in their own world. But today, I felt they have already made it. These two solitary souls have already reached their own field .. Away from everyone, away from the murky reality. Their one minute of silence together nourishes their life source .. gives them the courage to walk through the rocky roads. They do not need to rely on words anymore. They can see through each others' eyes, they can read each others' silence. No matter how stormy the nights are, they would remain each others' strength. No matter how much far they have to walk away, their soul will keep them together.

No matter how much they resisted, they have been together in good & bad since their paths crossed. They have known each other through extreme and delicate moments .. They have seen each other at their best & their worst. They have reached that stage in their affinity where they reflect each other. Together they have found their solace in silence where no one can separate them. If life breaks them apart, they will put together the pieces. They will not leave each other alone. Ever. It is indeed their story.

"Maat jao" did not sound like a plea to me. It was more like stating the obvious, the solution because Khushi also rather threw a question .. I am going? The background score, their posture .. Everything reminded me of Arnav's poolside kiss. What an amazing contrast! Budding love vs matured love, bangle for marriage vs broken pieces, water vs earth, dupatta vs hands, force vs emotions, challenge vs understanding, kiss vs togetherness, words vs silence .. They indeed have come a long way.

What must be going inside Arnav's mind right now?

His sister has asked for the unthinkable. He has already broken down thinking she is in emotional stress. But he has not given in. What will he do when he will learn it is her sister's conscious demand? Will he learn about her secret rendezvous with her husband over the last few days? He understands her trauma but he also has seen Shyam's true colours. What will he do now?

What he must have felt when she placed her demand? He has done everything for her - got married, killed his budding love, got kidnapped, almost got killed .. And finally he thought he has thrown the scoundrel out of the house. He did .. but Shyam is yet to be thrown out of Anjali's mind & only Anjali herself can do that. He has got it wrong .. All the sacrifices he made, along with his woman, he sees them gone in vain - the baby gone ... And his sister wants Shyam back.

How he must have felt looking at Khushi? Only he knows what he has made her go through for his sister though he loved her - all seems in vain. And still she is in pain .. Still he realizes how she is cornered at his home, how he has to let her go even though they are bonded forever. Will he stand up for her? Will he rise to give her the respect she deserves at his home? Will he let everyone know what Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada has really done for the Raizadas & the Guptas?

Random Musing:

1) Overall, I loved the episode.. A complete 10 for me. It had the right pace & elements, Arnav-Khushi being in key focus mostly but the progress in storyline was apt.

2) I was amused to see Anjali scheming with her husband. They are made for each other at certain levels. So, Anjali did not waste a second & got into work. One-point demand placed & backed up by action plan number one - hunger strike. Not bad Anjali Shyam Jha!

3) Akash surprised me! He is trying to have a say... Great progress. But against your bhai? I guess I will still have to stick to my bubble theory on Akash.

4) Apparently, Maami & Akash are not yet convinced of Khushi. It is time they hear Arnav's part of the story.

5) So the terrace flashback has been removed from Arnav's system. He rather remembers his confrontation with Shyam. But I would also love to see him have the terrace flashback with disgust for Shyam only.

6) Daadi continues chanting "woh aurat" & openly declares what she thinks of Khushi. She has placed Shyam & Anjali in place of Arnav's mom & dad while Khushi is the other woman playing with their marital life. It is guilt that has blinded her so much .. Guilt of not being able to fix things in the past and also the pain of losing the family. She is hell bent on saving Anjali's marriage because this will give her peace, will release her from some of her guilt. Only if she knew, she indeed is wrong .. This time too.

7) Barun & Sanaya, both were awesome. Sanaya finally has got her moments to excel. She was looking great & has done ample justice to portray Khushi's innocence & helplessness. Barun was fabulous with his range & fluctuations of emotions.

8) Again .. Where is payal?

What a memorable episode…..⭐️⭐️⭐️

Arnav Singh Raizada and Khushi Kumari Gupta have reached that point in their journey of love…of life where they are true soulmates….they have evolved in their relationship….no longer they need to voice their pain, anguish to each other….they are completely involved in each other….they are standing by each other, holding and drawing strength and ready to face d world…

The journey from "get out" to "mat Jao"…..today they are indispensable to each other…the mat jao which spoke d unspoken don't leave me..i need you..i love you….

He knows she cant stay back, yes priya they part to meet, they will …they have to…

The scene where both Arnav and Khushi looked at their mehendi…made me cry…kyon dard hain itna…

Waiting for d blast from d past with bated breathe…I know they will face d storm together, and their love will emerge victorious but still….to see lovers going thru so may trials and tribulations is like agnipariksha for us too.

Standing ovation to Barun Sobti and Sanaya Irani….no superlatives are enough for your performance….👏👏👏👏

And a biggg huggg to Nani…at least she is never losing her faith on Chotey and Khushi Bitiya….🤗

Things I chose to ignore….

1.Dadi cringinging everytime Khushi is close by…..any skin disease…fungal or bacterial…question is who will pass onto whom?🤢🤢🤢

2.Dadi referring to her grand daughter in law as dusri aurat????? 😡😡😡😡Anybody care to explain this….or I maintain my earlier agenda to sue the ashram……

3.Aakash completely losing it…after payalia vanishes into thin air he too lost his marbles…

4.Jhooti Anjali….if she has always abide by Chotey's decision then how to explain those secret rendezvous with Snake….😡😡

Haye Priya I'm already in love - just the title, the lines and the picture! 😳 Can't wait to read today's!

--edit--

Priya, honestly when I read Crooner this morning, I was left without words... Such poetic beauty that just oozed out of every word... and "Rahen Na Rahen Hum" - one of my absolute absolute favourite songs! You reduced me to tears darling!

"It was their story" and it always will be - won't it. If you see the uncut video (and I did last night and cried buckets once again!), you will realise that the actual Arnav Khushi moments were about 7 minutes long. But they were such beautiful 7 minutes - the heart just stopped when he said "Mat Jao" to her. And that forehead kiss - such a poignant moment. After all, this is all we were looking for from this show - today brought back the magic and the moments of love that we so desperately needed!

I loved the contrast especially between the strength of ASR, ready to go up against Dadi to fight with her and with the world if needed... but the beautiful helplessness and vulnerability that he was so ready to display in front of Khushi - his soulmate, who just completes him. It was such a wonderfully done moment. And in return, Khushi has someone who can finally see through her smiles, and understand the person she is. Oh lord - this episode just brought back a reminder of just how much I love these two together!

Barun and Sanaya just killed me with their acting yesterday. Oh my God, the way expressions change on Barun's face! Unbelievably good he was - I was just floored!

Priya - I know you said "they part to meet" (what a sentiment!) but I hope they just are together for sometime... Let that beauty remain to give us just a little solace in times of distress and pain... And let us remain as moved by this love story as we always are.

Here's to romance and love - and nothing else today!

What a beautiful song👏...

ohh perfect perfect song for them.

was their story? ... it will always be.. even if the entire world around them cannot look beyond their noses. always the fate of those who know how to give. and give.

EDITED


A wonderfully lyrical crooner Priya. 👏👏 You have said everything that ought to be said and said it so beautifully. On days such as these, it is imperative to ignore the outside world. Outside of Arnav and Khushi that is. Will miss you and your thoughts! Come back soon!

This post is mushy, random and doesn't have much to say. Just me rambling. 😛

The pieces had been that of porcelain than too. Then too, they had broken. And that day, she perhaps was more shattered than those broken pieces of his tea cup. That day too, she bent down silently to pick up the broken pieces, her delicate hands trembling in aftershock. He first stormed at her... not for disturbing his peace as he pretended to, (dekh kar nahi chalsakti tum?) but precisely because he was thinking about her and there she was colliding against him... too much to swallow isn't it?

And her silence, like always, unwound him, sneaked into him and his voice. He kneeled down and gently, took away the pieces from her hand before they could hurt her. 'Khushi, Khushi, Khushi, Khushi'...myraid ways of calling out a loved's one name.. how much love, how much tenderness and how much concern were invested in those many utterances of Khushi. But he could do nothing more that day. Neither could she.

And yesterday, when she entered his space, the storm was already at its zenith. She once again bent down quietly to pick up the broken pieces. And it unwound him yet again. A lone tear, wiped with the back of his hand and he had kneeled down once again. They picked up the pieces together. How far they have travelled. Yesterday, there was no 'Khushi' either. It wasn't necessary. No words were.

And then the words came. Pulled out of his very being. 'Mat Jao'. Must have stopped Khushi's heart for a moment. It surely stopped mine.

And that is their story. A love that is a plea. A love that is beyond words. A love that will compel them to 'not go'. A love that can be spelt 'stay'.

That shot of them leaning on each other, giving and taking strength, with the calm waters and the sky above as their only witness etched in my mind. They have never had any witnesses for their deep love for each other.

Which is why, a wedding is itself unnecessary. And a grand wedding with a family that barely understands these two givers, let alone their love for each other, more unnecessary than ever.


Others.

1. Where on earth is Payal? Is she doing a mamaji on us? How difficult it is to include a dialogue for mamaji's absence or for Payal's absence for that matter??? How can a creative team so imaginative and so good in so many things ignore such little but important stuff? Beats me!! 😕😕

2. Akash, please do not use your brains. Better off like that. Good for you, Good for us.

3. It is jarring to see absolutely no mention of the glass shards. Either as lacerations on Anjali's feet or that carpet which was apparently full of the pieces just a night ago. 😕

4. Barun, absolutely magnificent in the individual scenes yesterday. And with their together scenes, both were sparking off each other. Fantastic. 👏

mat jao...haaye!! Arrite thats it...thud...me dead...waiting for priya's n all the other updates...just bookmarking ladies, just bookmarking :-)
