Mission Accomplished
Dadi - Ahhh, what great satisfaction for having done my duty!!! My craving for justice (more like burning desire for vengeance) that has kept me going for so many years is fulfilled. I've exposed Garima's tainted character to all, what a giri hui aurat she is and what people like her will do for money. I haven't lied when I told Arnav that I just found out about this relationship, it's Garima's fault for being the other woman in my son's life, didn't I already say I'll do whatever it takes to wreak havoc in her life? If she didn't pay attention, it's her fault. Let Garima and her daughters grovel and pay the price for what she did to my family. I have brought them to their knees just as I said I would. I can rejoice in the fact that I stopped my grandson from committing the worst mistake of his life, the same mistake that my son committed 15 years ago by falling for this woman. Arnav does not understand that it's all for his own good and it's "like mother like daughter." He's too caught up in Khushi's jaal and doesn't see things the way I do. It's my responsibility as dadi to help protect the family. I forced him to make a choice between Khushi whose mother was the cause of death of his beloved parents, who made him and his sister orphans at a tender age, can he allow her to be part of the family? Can he marry the daughter knowing what the mother did? I'm generous enough to let Arnav make his own decision. You see how much I respect him? Yes of course, he's devastated now, but it's a matter of time before he realizes what's good for him. It's like giving medicine (wrong one though) to a kid who's refusing to take it; just force it down his throat and he'll get well soon.🤢
Comments: Wow dadi, hats off to you and your diabolical plots. So, you decided to wait until the marriage day, used your trump card (the photo), pointed out some home truths to Arnav, didn't give your poor grandson time to even assimilate facts, forced him to see that it's either Khushi or his family, pushed all the right buttons (his weaknesses) just to win the war? You think your lies will protect you and Devi Maiyya will let you win? This is just temporary, so bask in it for it won't last long. Of course it's always this woman's fault for NOT KNOWING THAT YOUR SON WAS MARRIED, is it? If your daughter-in-law was weak and emotional to commit suicide, it's Garima's fault. If your son lied to her about his marriage (we don't know the background yet, so let's assume) it's Garima's fault. Just because Shyam said Khushi is the same as her mother, is it? You proved once again that a woman is a woman's worst enemy.
Why do I get the feeling to Dadi seems to have a whole bigger agenda here. Somehow the way she does things, it's more like 250% rather than 100%. What's up with her?
I came across a fantastic write up in The Bhagavad Gita by Sri Paramahamsa Yogananda where he equates human frailities of Kama (Lust), Krodha (Anger), Lobha (Greed), Mada (Pride) and Matsarya (Envy or Material Attachment) to people who supported and fought on Kaurava's side during the Mahabharat war. From the descriptions I was easily able to identify the character Shalya as similar to dadi ji. Let's take a chotu sa look at this, shall we?
Mada (Pride) - Pride here means the love for the 'I' or ego-self that is constantly on the defensive (or offensive) to support and promote the interests of that self. Because of mada, within the ego there arises arrogance, conceit, haughtiness, presumptuous behavior ... (arhem, sounds just like dadi's qualities to me)
Shalya in Mahabharat - Kunti and Madri were both married to King Pandu. While Yudhisthir, Bheema and Arjuna were born to Kunti, Nakula and Sahadeva were sons of Madri. After Madri died, Kunti brought up all of them as her own. Shalya is the maternal uncle of Nakula and Sahadeva. Though Shalya was on the Pandavas side initially (he's family, right), when the Kauravas bribed him with gifts and praised him to the skies, he turned to the wrong side and fought for the Kauravas. You see, it's so easy to shift parties without knowing a whole lot.😊 This is exactly what Dadi did. Shyam knows her weak points, and used it. She was won over and in her arrogance made assumptions about Khushi and is of course fighting on the wrong side. We already know the fate of those who fought on the Kaurava's side. Need I say more?
Shalya means "fault or defect" implying nearsightedness of ego's pride the narrow perspective of which confuses man's reason and judgment. Shyalya also means "abuse, defamation." Mada creates in the ego-man a hostile power that expresses its self-centered haughtiness towards others as intolerance, prejudice, bigotry, unforgiving attitude and fearlful hostility of hatred. Pride makes the egoistical man consciously or unconsciously try to cut off the heads of others to make himself appear taller (exactly what dadi is doing to garima right now).
This describes dadi to a T. She's throwing allegations, vile accusations, anything she can lay her hands on, at Garima, WHY? It's to assuage her conscience and feelings of guilt that have been killing her for several years now. Shall we wait and see what's coming her way?
Shattered Dreams
Garima - A soft hearted woman whom we all knew would pay a heavy price when the truth comes out. Not only is she paying the price for the past, but also the price for trusting the cunning old woman (Dadiji) who lied to her and made her believe all would be well. Imagine, her worst nightmare coming true. All her dreams of a wonderful wedding for her daughter are broken and dadi is sticking knives in her heart. She's accused of being a kept woman in front of all guests at a wedding, what a black mark on a person who's purity personified, who always followed the righteous path and never harmed anybody. What will the daughter's think of her. She's a totally broken woman today. How can she defend herself? She appeals once again that she wouldn't have done it if she knew he was married and with kids. Is this the whole truth though? What else is she so desperately trying to hide? Will anyone understand a mother's view point and her majboori that made her hide the truth'the fear one has of her daughter's marriage being cancelled, the fear of stigma and ultimate pain that her daughter will experience if her dreams of sharing life with her Arnav ji are completely broken? Will they?
Anjali - Her dreams of a wedding and happy life were already shattered long ago and she's never recovered from the death of her parents. Now, the past is revisiting once again and opening up the old wounds. Today, this daughter meets the woman who's being held responsible for her parent's death. She's forced out of her illusory world and is re-visiting the nightmarish past, the one that she's tried her best to hide from. She still cries like the 19 year old (though it sounded like a 5 year old to me) that she was when all this happened. She wants to know why this happened to her mother who was innocent who didn't do anything wrong. Who can bring peace to her soul? Who can heal this gentle bird whose wings are broken once again just when she starts putting her life together and decides to fly?
Payal and Khushi - Nobody is going to throw vile accusations against their mother. Khushi defends her mother who she knows would never hurt anyone, is always gentle and one who always did the right thing. If her mother is saying she didn't know that Arnav's father was married, she believes her. She understands the pain of losing family. But, her mother is not responsible for what happened. Payal rejects any help from Akash and supports her mother; she knows that if her mother kept quiet, it's only because of the daughters. Kudos to these two daughters who stood up for their mother and made us all proud.👏👏
Bahut Mazaa Aaya
A totally gripping episode with wonderful direction and acting. Swati ji and Pyumori Mehta, wonderful acting.⭐️ Abhaas Mehta, Sanaya Irani and Deepali Pansare very well done.👏
I really liked the fact that Khushi wasn't shouting at the top of her voice like Dadi. This shows the difference in their characters really well. One's shouting to get her point across and the other is using a strong voice to oppose.
The person whose expressions were a bit surprising to me were that of Babuji (Sanjay Batra). What was he thinking when his wife is being accused? I just didn't get it.
Dadi continues to show what a vindictive scheming person she can be, she emotionally tugged at Arnav's heart by using his mother as a weapon to accomplish her goal. Dadi lied to Arnav about the picture and left him torn between his mother and his love. I really felt bad for Arnav here, he's been put in such a difficult position naturally he needs some time to process this shocking blow.
Dadi really does not waste time, she makes her way to the wedding venue and unleashes havoc. Dadi reveals she misled Garima that day, that she never forgave her and her intentions were to hurt her the same way she was hurt 14 years ago. Pieces of the puzzle slowly start to connect for the Guptas and Raizadas who are left in shock and disbelief at what is happening. A day which started out with happiness ended with doom with Dadi and Shyam enjoying every moment of it
I felt Nani, Anjali and Manorama were justified in asking Garima why she didn't speak up earlier. I know it doesn't seem logical for her to just come out and reveal her role what happened all those years ago, but for Nani and Anjali who have always held the Guptas in high regards that had to hurt.
Though the Raizadas were justified in their POVs, so were Khushi and Payal who really took me by surprise today. Both daughters really took a stand for a woman who raised them as her own after their mothers died, for them if she said she was innocent then that must've been the case. For Khushi it must've been a case of deja vu the way Dadi insulted her mother for similarly it is the way Shyam insulted her character and she wasn't about to let the same happen to her mother. Garima is truly fortunate
I've got to hand it to the CVs what I expected and what unraveled were two different things and I couldn't be more relieved! I fully expected to see an episode full of humiliation for the Guptas who would helplessly endure the insults silently but instead I saw two young women, daughters who put up one hell of a fight. I'm glad they did not go the cliched route by having Payal and Khushi be the damsels in distress needing their husbands to rescue them, these are two women capable of fighting their own battles and they more than proved that today. Hats off to Payal and Khushi!!
Arnav will return for Khushi but it remains to be seen how. Will he marry her with a 360 mandir wedding or will it be in your face to shut Dadi up?? Hoping with time to think logically he realizes Dadi's intentions were to always humiliate Khushi. I also wonder how he will react finding out Khushi is supporting her mother, will he understand or will this distance them? This track is gripping and execution has improved by bounds! IPKKND is back!
Anjarai Petti
A nail biting episode after a long time... I havent written so much in a long time... warning could tire you out... But read on! Have tried to present this Anjarai petti from the view points of everyone...
Once there was a woman who was eagarly expecting the wedding of her grand daughter, the first wedding in the family after her own sons got married - the first wedding in the third generation... and suddenly it happened, a stone hit the beautiful glass house... She came to know that her son had been hoodwinked by another lady and had been having an affair.. Her daughter in law, though very good at heart, is an extremely sensitive woman unlike her and upon knowing the (so called) affair of her husband- reacts hastily and takes off her own life- even before this news sinks into the family, her son follows suit. A double tragedy is followed by her grand daughter's baraat returning back without her and her wedding getting stopped. What was supposed to be a happy occasion turned out to be a nightmare all of a sudden.
Fantastic title. thaks for explainig it as well .
Loved today's episode. Our fiery and feisty Khushi is back . I loved the way she supported Garimaji all the way , she knows her mother will never hurt anyone intentionally . Payal is also there with her this time , they both are going to stand with their mother and face the world, they restore Garimaji's dignity and honour
Dadi what is with this woman , she is hell bent on revenge . She is insulting Garima and calling her names , not done. I felt like strangling her, and that Shyam was smiling in the back .
The episode starts with DADI still emotionally using her words to remind Arnav of his past . Arnav FB was of his mom running away , gunshot , his mom accusing his dad of OW and his time spent with Khushi the night before. I simply loved Barun here , superb expressions . Arnav is torn between his love for his Mom whom he worships and the love of his life Khushi . He walks away from Dadi hurt and in pain . Unsure of what does he want to do , needs time to think . Dadi is such a big liar she tells him she got to know about OW just today when she got the Photo , gosh this woman is more evil and wicked than Shyam . She has meticulously planned everything and hit out at the right moment. She knows Arnav will be shocked , hurt and unable to think rationally . She knows he will not go to the Mandap for the wedding. She has patiently waited past few days for this moment to strike.
At GH all are waiting for Arnav , but Dadi arrives alone and is questioned by all. NK goes out and informs all that Nannav is not outside and he has not come. Khushi gets worried and asks Dadi where is Arnav . She does not answer Khushi and straight forward looks at Garima and tells her did you expect him to come here. This is what she had wanted as soon as she came to know about Garima , insult the woman and make her go through the pain she had gone through before. This lady has not become wise and forgiving with age, people tend to .
Everybody is shocked to hear that Garima is the woman because of which their family was shattered . Here I loved Khushi she stops Dadi from insulting her Mom and says she is mistaken , her mo cannot do anything wrong. She trusts her mom and knows she has always tried to keep others happy. It is from this woman Khushi has learnt about loving others and keeping their happiness before your's . I loved the way the entire Gupta family supporting Garima, till she has their support no one can dare raise a finger on her. Anjali as usual starts crying and questions Garima as to why she did not tell them before, doesn't the same apply to Dadi. Well don't expect her to question Dadi for sure. She resembles her Dadi so much . Men can do no wrong and its always the woman at fault.
I feel Nani is going to forgive Garima and give her a chance as she has seen upclose the Gupta family and her expressions did make me feel that way . Do we see Akash supporting his wife , its time he stands up for Payal . Dadi has crossed all her limits today , there is no redemption for her . I still feel there is some things being left out in this whole exposure. Garima's side of story is still to come out.
Let's wait and see what happens next . I am loving this Khushi and this time around I want her to say no to the wedding. But I am not angry at ASR , he needs time the poor guy has come once again face to face with his past , he is torn between his past and his future. Let's wait for his decision before passing the verdict of him being guilty.
