Hello Reduxians
This is not the kind of episode I like to watch but I guess this is important to the story. It was a distressing episode and my heart went out to Arnav and Khushi. Arnav was hurt and shocked to see his Di pleading to be with the person he hates. He was hurt to see his Di's undying love for a man who is not worthy of it. But he remained firm in his decision. He only had his Di's best interest in his heart, but his Di is completely oblivious to the danger she is putting herself and her family into. On the other hand, Arnav is unaware that Shyam is sneaking in and out and that slowly part of his family is beginning to doubt his judgement.
He shatters the vase and that very moment Khushi enters the room. She starts picking up the pieces, Arnav joins her and together they gather all the pieces. They sit together on the recliner, side by side and hold on to each other for comfort. Arnav wants her to stay but soon realizes that she can't. Khushi understands and tells him that even though she can't stay the night, she can surely stay for her while. She rests her head on his shoulder.
Dadi's mind was poisoned by Shyam during his visit to the ashram and he clearly told her he was framed by Khushi. A prejudiced dadi automatically jumped to conclusions and associated Khushi with the other woman. So it means when she met Khushi at the Shantivan's doorstep, she knew who Khushi was but she pretended not to know. So the whole drama about her thinking Khushi was a servant was a just that, a drama. She did all of that just to humiliate Khushi. The thought made me shudder. Now that Dadi and Shyam's alliance is out in the open, dadi has no qualms about openly showing her hatred towards Khushi. When she comes face to face with Garima, and the past is revealed she will rip their character apart.
Nani is firm in her beliefs. She trusts Khushi as much she trusts Arnav. Will this trust last when she learns Garima was the (supposedly) other woman? But no matter what happens, she knows Arnav has Anjali's best interest in his heart and trusts and respects his decision.
Akash and mami have already become sympathetic towards Shyam, which means they never fully believed Khushi and NK's accusations towards Shyam. Not only that, Akash also doubts Arnav's judgments. The wedding may not take place or even if it does, there might be physical or emotional separation between Arnav and Khushi. I doubt poor Payal will be able to walk out and she will be left to face the brunt. How will Payal handle all this?
I was not surprised to see Anjali's behavior as I was expecting it. Now that she has finally expressed her desire to be with Shyam, she will manipulate the family in every way to get what she wants and the family will fall for it. They went be left with a choice. It has become nearly impossible for me to sympathise with a woman who can use her ill-health and her family's love and concern to get what she wants.
Khushi is silently putting up will dadi coldness. She has always looked out for this family and considered them as her own. But she is being treated like an outcast by dadi, not allowing her to do things for Anjali and it put her to tears. She is unaware of the hate dadi harbours towards her. Arnav sees the sadness on her face and the tears in her face and questions her. She diverts it by saying Di is still refusing take food and drink. He wipes her tears and kisses her forehead to show his support, understanding and love.
Arnav and Khushi have become each other's support system and they are seeking comfort in each other. When the past comes out, who will they confide into? Khushi has always been emotionally stronger among the two and now she becomes Arnav's shadow. Wherever Arnav goes, she is follows him around. Wherever Arnav goes, he always wants her to be around. How will he cut off his shadow from him? How will he survive without the one person he needs to be around him all time? How will she feel when Arnav wouldn't want her around? How will she feel when the one person who showers her with his love, will not kiss her and wipe her tears?
Barun Sobti and Sanaya Irani were once again brilliant in their understated portrayal of pain, hurt, love and understanding. 👏👏👏
Cheers,
Fari.
