What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment. And this is the moment you can choose to make everything new. Right now. ~Author Unknown

Finally. Finally. The moment I've been waiting for: The urge to pen down my thoughts about the episode no matter what. For who knows how long, I've been MIA from penning down everything in my mind. And today was that episode. I felt the pain felt by everyone. I felt Dadi's triumph and Shyam's relish (much to my disgust). But I just felt terrible because they were feeling terrible.

(To Watanuki about Nanami) The rock, once it starts to roll down the hill, it won't stop. It will keep rolling until the end of the road. ~Yuuko Ichihara from xxxHolic

What does this quote mean? What does it stay? It means that once we make up our minds, we cannot stop yourself from doing something... instead of vowing to do something... There is a difference in the previous two sentences.

I shall start with Dadi. She vowed that she "would" destroy Garima. And she did. Partially.Then there is Shyam, who vowed he "would" break the wedding. And he did. Partially. And then there is Arnav, who vowed he "would stop at nothing" in his quest to get his "Khushi." He cannot be stopeed.

See the difference. I don't have the words to explain what I am trying to get across. But I hoped that you can get what I am trying to say.

Assumptions is the mother of all f**k-ups. ~ Quoted by Lalit Mohan (It is not his original quote. I don't know whose it is though.)

Dadi and Shyam are in for a bitch-slap. They've assumed that Arnav won't come. They'd assumed that everyone would accept their side. But that isn't the case. The divide as I see it:

Garima has:

  • Khushi
  • Shashi
  • Madhumati
  • Payal
  • NK
  • Akash (from what it seems now)
  • Nani


Dadi has:

  • Shyam
  • Anjali
  • Mami
The game-changing factor: ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA

Dadi and Shyam have once again UNDERESTIMATED AND ASSUMED that Arnav will abandon Khushi. But he has already made his decision. I agree with Sathya when I say, he will marry her. Come what may, he will marry her. And they've ASSUMED that Khushi and Payal would take things lying down. Never underestimate your enemies. Certainly not the ones who've defeated you before.

Shyam has made a fatal error. By trying to break Khushi's wedding, he has firmly established the camps. Arnav will come around. Or else I shall personally come after him after I buy a brand new pair of shoes. Oh yeah, I will!

When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile. ~Author Unknown

Khushi and Garima. They have a tie of blood between them. But some bonds are more than blood. Garima and Khushi have been there for each other almost always. In hindsight, I now fully appreciate why Garima had slapped Khushi on her wedding day in February. It is because she was angry that her little angel was walking along the same path as her. And so she reacted with anger. I have never thought she was wrong to have slapped her. It is a mother's right to do so.

They are very similar. Both love life. Both love everyone around them. Both get paranoid very easily. Both can spread smiles easily. Both can take all the pain in the world, hold in to their chest and give only love in return. Both don't hold grudges. Both just want love. And I think it is Khushi's real mother who is responsible for that. Both can be fierce if the situation demands it.

And both are scapegoats. No woman truthfully accused of what Garima's been accused her would clutch her mangalsutra like her lifeline. She is pure and honest. Just as much as Khushi. Like Khushi, she too was duped for the same reason. And like Khushi she will be given her due. By none other than Arnav Singh Raizada.

Khushi is the type of daughter I want to be. I really, really would be very happy if I can be as good of a daughter to my mother. And I can't give Khushi a bigger compliment then that. And so is Payal.

I felt my heart break, when I saw Garima smile through her tears when Khushi defended her. Her love shone like the sun. I felt the pride Shashi, Madhumati, Payal and Devyani Raizada felt when Khushi stood up for her mother. Why wouldn't I? It takes great nerve when you stand up your enemies. But even more so to stand up to your friends and family (I am a Harry Potter pankha).

Devyani Raizada was a highlight for me. At first she was angry, and rightly so. But she is one person who has her head firmly on her shoulders. She thinks with her head and decides with her heart. The perfect combination and balance. I want to grow old to be like her.

Arnav Singh Raizada has made his decision. He had his eyes open when he thought of his mother and sister. But he closed his eyes when he thought of Khushi. When do we close our eyes in pain? It is when we cannot bear to have someone we love taken away from us. Come what may, he will not let Khushi go.

Arnav has retreated. He has gone to gain his bearings. And when he returns, he will be back with a bang! I will say this: He is not a Malik. He is a Raizada. He is not his parents' son. I have always felt he is more Devyani Raizada's grandson.

Often times, people simply deny the existence of what they do not understand, and anyone who tells them otherwise is a liar. What they don't know stays 'unexplained' and they are happy with that. By Yuuko Ichihara from xxxHolic


Isn't this the case with all three of the remaining Maliks? Subhadra Malik, Anjali Malik and Arnav Malik all have the same issue. Even "Ratna Malik" did. They were presented with a situation and were unable to bear it. Arnav is the strongest one because he denies the name "Malik" and thus has the most potential to recover. Subhadra Malik is still a Malik, Ratna couldn't digest the possibility of not being a "Malik" and we never knew if Anjali gave up her surname of "Malik" as Arnav did.

Only one of the four gave up their "name" and he is the only one, along with his soulmate, who will be break the curse of the "Malik".

Arnav is fast reaching the point where he cannot run any further. He has to face the issue head-on and he has no choice. He won't let Khushi go. Whenever he faces a situation where Khushi is being taken away from him, he forces through. He makes his way in, he invents a way in if there isn't any. And he often disappears before doing such a thing i.e. he secludes himself from everyone and returns afterwards to take charge. The situation seems bleak, but he manages to turn the tides the minute he arrives.

If you've seen the video, it will be easier to make sense of what I mean. When he was kidnapped, most particularly, the scene in the clip, he sought Khushi. When we are ill or ill trouble, we seek the person who we are closest to, the person we depend upon the most. For children it is their mothers. For Arnav, it was assumed to have been "Darling Di". But no it is Khushi. Do you know why he expresses everything, negative or positive, to Khushi? Because he knows she can take it in and give him only love. Deep down, he knows she won't think less of him and will be by his side. Because of his past, he fears that she'll disappear. But she is the one thing he needs to survive. Di needshim, he needs Khushi. That is all the difference in the world.

Women really do rule the world. They just haven't figured it out yet. When they do, and they will, we're all in big big trouble. ~"Doctor Leon," drleons.com

Khushi is like any woman. She has an invisible line drawn. Cross it and she will tear you apart. She did to Arnav, she did it to Shyam and she will do it to Subhadra Malik. Just push her s little more and she could push Dadi into the fire (I hope so but alas!). She will defend her loved ones and will die doing it if necessary!

I won't mention Anjali. For some unexplainable reason, I didn't sympathise with her. I just couldn't bring myself to. I felt her expressions weren't right and I think Daljeet is getting complacent.

Payal, hugs! Akash dude you tried to grow a pair! NK you were wonderful! I wanna marry you! Mami you were OTT but you are OTT.

Actors of the day for me: Barun Sobti, Sanaya Irani, Pyumori Mehta, Jayshree T, Deepali Pansare

Actors who I thought weren't fine: Swatnisji I felt was the same constantly. I don't see variation. Abhaas, you creeped me out. Daljeet was a bit too much. Everyone else was okay.

A beautiful episode that took me back to February. That February night, Shyam had moved the same chess piece as Dadi. Shaym'd assumed Arnav would leave Khushi and do nothing. Arnav was cornered and brought to his knees. He was helpless. Arnav secluded himself and screamed his agony. And came back and took what was his, albeit forcefully. This time as well, Dadi's assumed that he would leave Khushi and do nothing. He is corned and brought to his knees. He is helpless. He has secluded himself and will most probably scream him agony. And he will come back and take what's his. And both times, he will face his opponents head-on with a look that screams of his will, determination and never-say-die attitude.

Arnav, it's your call. Take it and dial the right numbers.

After a long, long time am I making a full post! Well, with an episode such as this it is not difficult.

Love

Nazifa

Thanks for the wonderful crooner Priya !
Womanhood is a wonderful thing. In womankind we find the mothers of the race.There is no man so great, nor none sunk so low, but once he lay a helpless, innocent babe in a woman's arms and was dependent on her love and care for his existence. It is woman who rocks the cradle of the world and holds the first affections of mankind. She possesses a power beyond that of a king on his throne.
...Womanhood stands for all that is pure and clean and noble. She who does not make the world better for having lived in it has failed to be all that a woman should be."
? Mabel Hale, Beautiful Girlhood: A Timeless Guide for Christian Adolescense
Mothers , mothers , mothers -- that's what yesterday's episode was all about. One mother's anguish over a son lost 14 years back . Another mother's anguish over two daughter's weddings 14 years later. One was a birth mother ... the other was an adopted one .. but was there a difference in the anguish... no there wasn't
The old IPK is back... we are at the edge of our seats waiting to see what the next day will bring ... will the past be finally set at rest for all the mothers and children who were involved? Will the ties that broke that day and that are tenuous today be broken or fixed ? What will the children of those involved in that 14 year old tragedy decide? Will they be supported by the family?
Waiting for the decision on the past and the present and the future of the A-K relationship as well as the Raizada/Gupta/Malik relationship!

hey priya sweetie!!!!🤗

Another brilliant Crooner!!!! great take on the epi!!!! perfect quotes!!! loved the Reasoning and your side line views!!! and absolutely loved the lines you chose to end the post!!!! btw something is wrong with my connection as am not able to see the pics!!!!

well the epis since monday have been good...monday had the build up to the drama and yesterday was high on drama and also took a toll on many tear glands!!!!😭

monday...

epi started with khushi running around getting things organised for her own wedding!!!!

Nk wants to participate in all the 'kasames" meaning rasames!!! the joota churana and the women explaining him why he is not allowed to do so was cute!!!😆

a beautiful moment between maasi and her niece who are in true sense amma and beti...alag kisam ki dulhan aur uski ma!!!

nani wants arnav to go with dadi, who is supposedly the eldest at home...i have serious doubts abt that!!!!😕😕

loved the arnav-khushi convo!!!!😳

khushi getting ready for the wedding...hears the cars arriving and gets excited thinking than arnav has come but is disappointed when she realizes that he is going to come a little later!!!! the family scene was nice...

anjali explaining both arnav and khushi that its just few more hours and then they would be together...nice!!!!

Dadi continues to plot against her pota's happiness to get revenge on Garima. she waits till all have left and then drops the bomb on arnav...tells him Garima's truth...she being the other woman in his dad's life!!!! loved that Arnav is not willing to listen to dadi...he is not ready to hear a word against khushi...until dadi mentions the one person arnav loves the most...his mom!!!!

tuesday...

Zor Ka Jhatka Zor Se Laga

Poor guy what a day to receive such a jhatka...dadi plays her cards well...to get her revenge she even lies to her grandson😡...she has no remorse in destroying her grandson's happiness!!! 😡 arnav is in shock...he remembers his painful past and also the love, trust and promises asked and made...the night he spent with khushi...and then he walks away!!!! will wait for his reaction...

Hai Hai Rama Yeh Kaisa Drama

Dadi tells the truth to all...she insults Garima and is not willing to hear or believe garima's side of the story!!!! reaction after the dhamaka...

Nani...initially angry then calmed down when she heard that garima was not aware of her damaad's marital status...in her heart she knew garima would not do something like that!!!

Anjali...her being upset and angry is justified at this point!!!

Mami...did overeact but then she has always been loud!!!!

Akaash...thankfully he did try to check his mom!!!!

Buaji...shocked and unable to say anything!!!

Bauji...helpless despite wanting to he is not able to defend his wife!!!!

Shyamu...gloating as he feels that the marriage is not going to take place...hated his smirks!!!!🤢

Khushi...the girl will stand up for the people she loves... intially she is shocked to know the truth but stands by her mother...her amma cannot hurt anyone intentionally...her amma never tells lies...she believes in her mother and dadi cannot speak abt her in a degrading manner!!!! At this moment she is not thinking of her marriage but abt the woman who has brought her up as her own...amma needs her and she will be there for her mother!!!!

Payal...loved her!!! she usually stays in the background but manages to step up whenever its reqd to...today being one of those days!!!! She stands by her mother along with khushi...she knows her mother is quiet because of her daughters and their happiness!!!!

Both khushi and payal are not her own children but the love and care she has given the two girls makes her their mother in true sense and today both the girls acknowleges that by standing by her and defending her!!!!

Dadi was malicious...as all she could think was hurting and humiliating Garima...to an extent that she does not realise how its going to destroy the very house she is trying to protect!!!!

Hamar pointwas

1. didn't like arnav's sherwani and anjali was dressed as peacock!!!

2. payal calling khushi Jhalli...so cute!!!😆

3. mami what are u dressed as???😕😕😕

4. Pyumori was great when she breaks down as to why she didn't tell them the truth earlier!!!!

5. Nani seems to be the only one who has brains in raizada family as she is willing to listen to both sides of the story...arnav please prove u are a Raizada and not a Mallik!!!😃

6. Dadi irritated me...she will definitely give shyam a run for the title of the Best Villian!!!!

7. Did i mention i loved khushi and payal today!!!!😃

8. Sanaya and Barun were superb!!!!
Precap...dadi breaking of the rishta...but what is arnav's decision??? looking forward to tonight!!!!

Wow Priya...such a soulful Crooner! Indeed the moment of truth...great opening quote...and amazing finish...and engaging heart of the write up! today the Cvs delivered ...and so did you..as always!👏

~EDITED~




"Unseen in the background, Fate was quietly slipping lead into the boxing-glove."
-P.G. Wodehouse

Another wedding. In one they were on the verge of acknowledging their feelings for each other and was looking forward to do so, when on stroke of MU killed the budding happiness even before it had any chance. This wedding, they know they are soul-mates, their mutual trust and love are boundless; so they're eagerly looking forward to solemnizing their nuptials following the societal norms and begin their marital life together. Destiny again interrupts their plan: a tornado of blast from past hits them testing the strength of roots of their relationship.

A wonderful episode of opposing emotions. On one side one grandparent blind in her vengeance for avenging the death of her son, sets out to destroy the family of the woman who she thinks was the culprit. She completely disregards the fact that while doing so, she's sounding the death knell of happiness of that son's son who was in tunnel of 14r years of despair,
is just emerging from there solely because of that woman's daughter.Talk of tunnel vision! And she didn't bat an eyelid while lying through her teeth about why she waited till the last moment to land the bitter truth on him! How can anyone who appears to be spiritual, spent years in ashram be filled with so much venom and be such a conniving lowlife! Evil personified!😡

On the other side, an adopted daughter fights for the dignity of her Amma by fighting back all accusations aimed at her mother. Her belief in her Amma's words that she kept quiet for the happiness of her two daughters, her absolute trust in the love, honesty and innocence of the woman who has always put everyone's interest before hers. Loved how Payal also came and stood by her Amma. Love doesn't run only in bloodline. Kudos to the CVs for bringing forth such beautiful moment of parent-child love, sacrifice and support! Touched my heart as a daughter as well as a mother.

Ball is in ASR's court now to determine whether he'll let the errors of their parents in the past ruin their today and tomorrow; whether he'll go successfully through the trial and tribulations set forth by destiny's cruel joke and emerge a winner for self,her and both of them.

Priya , wonderful quotes, loved Chrissy's quote . Yes, I have faith in ASR he will keep his promise. Fantastic crooner girl 👏


Moment Of Truth

By: S Verma

An ultimate lie becomes a reality in life,

Like slit in the throat of a lamb in a meadow.

A wounded ego scrambles

for an explanation,

which is not coming.

Who can stop this verdict of a non-trial?

The tragic nonending of a conflict

between doubt and inherited faith?

You search for a perfect rhythm in

a turbulent crowd,

search for a silence in a flaming torch,

in the moment of truth,

when an entity is disintegrating.


Priya , I for the first time went through few post on the forum and was stunned by the content. I normally stick to the crooner and my express my thoughts .Some very disturbing post which I want to mention'''''Arnav doesn't deserve Khushi , Arnav deserted Khushi, Khushi should go with NK she will be happy REALLY... this a love story with two flawed characters , the members have made a mockery of the show . VERY SAD '''''''


For me Arnav/ Khushi are married was not in favor of this remarriage track. I want Arnav to come to the mandap tell Dadi/ Anjali and the rest of the family he is a married man this rasam was only because the family wanted it. If they approve of the marriage or not he is taking Khushi home '''''''This would be naye sooch.




"But there's a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on

your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and

heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother's story, because hers

is where yours begin."
? Mitch Albom

The soft hearted women who raised two orphans just stood silently asking for forgiveness holding her mangalsutra. Being accused of being a kept women in front of all her family members and guest . A scar on her purity who has not harmed anyone and always followed the righteous path. Loved Khushi and Payal for defending their mother. So alike are Arnav and Khushi , just like Arnav can't stand anyone saying anything against his mother today Khushi did the same . Proud of Khushi she shut Dadi up twice today.

There is a place called hell that's where Dadi and Shyam belong. SELFISH, SELF CENTERED'''''..Dadi and Anjali. Dadi lied today to Arnav .Keeping the gun on Arnav's shoulder and trying to shoot, wants Khushi to suffer just like Anjali did when her marriage broke. Arnav is shocked when he ses the photograph. He believes in what he sees, he made a mistake before when he saw Khushi/ Shyam on the terrace hope he has learnt from that mistake. Phechle baate bhool ke humeh aage badna chahiye is what he said to Anjali will wait and see if he follows his own advice. I have full faith in the man he will stand by Khushi and marry her.

Nani and Anjali asking Garima ,"Why didn't you tell us the truth earlier/" You kidding me right '.Did they really expect Garima to come and tell them hey BTW I am the women who had an affair with your father and it is because of me MR & Mrs Raizada committed suicide . Please forgive me and accept my daughters. Garima flet guilty hid the truth to save her daughters just lkike Khushi hid Shyam's truth to save Anjali. Anjali convinently forgot it is because of Khushi your Shyamji is in RM.

Mr Sobti no dialogues necessary for you to perform just your eyes did all the talking today. Have said this before insure your eyes.

Great performances by Sanaya , Swati and Pyumori Mehta.

Sanaya looked gorgeous .

Abhass todi kam twitching karo please.

An outstanding crooner darling..even words aren't enough to praise ur words today..🤗

What a beautiful quote by Herman Melville!👏

You are absolutely right..there are situational decisions...it hurts and but how you deal with them is the question.

The irony of today...both Arnav and Khushi are made to stand fighting for their mothers. How they both still come together...fighting to give their mothers justice will be the beauty of it..😳

To the episode..😳

Blood is thicker than water has been proved a myth!

On one hand...a grandmother...to fulfill her own personal vendetta is hell bent on ruining her grandson's happiness.

Arnav's world once again torn apart...when happiness is just few feet away...by his own grandmother.

14 years of bitter truth comes out...the other woman...and it's none other than the mother of his lover.


His flashbacks..of his mother's death and then his Flashbacks of the night he spent with Khushi...the girl who gave herself to him...trusting his love...trusting him..

What is he going to choose? Will he act with vengeance or go with his heart this time..No man should be put in his place..NEVER!!

On the other hand...Khushi stands by her amma..her maasi who has been no less than a mother to her..inspite of all accusations.


I am so glad that the truth is out in the open...there are going to be many questions pointing to Garima and accusing her...no one will understand her..no one will believe her...she didn't know the truth of Arnav's father marital status...is it her fault..Khushi will choose to believe her..

Will Arnav walk to that alter and marry his love and give her the happiness she deserves...will he know the truth that Garima didn't know..just as Khushi didn't know..about Shyam's marital status...will he connect the two..😳

It was full on drama today..and I think everyone did an amazing job. Sanaya looked fabulous..Barun of course...he always does..with all those expressions given.
