Heyy All ,

Quite a time pass episode ! ...Not much happened , but loved the peeling of gift wrapper's..



Raised eyebrows ;

Di has wounds and she never winces in pain and is happily traipsing all around the house ..

Shyam has evidence incriminating himself and he does not erase it !!!

Khushi and Arnav's scene at the beginning was adorable, Arnav was getting carried away obviously he wants to romance his wife but not with cameras watching their every move so they result to hiding under the covers. I really liked their conversation about being in their own little world, I just wish this scene was longer why cut it short??

The next day Khushi nervously looking around to see if there's a camera was natural, she has to be on edge and the family did not help matters by hovering over her in the kitchen. Poor Khushi, I understood her nerves being rattled by the family not leaving her alone but it was also cute to watch, thankfully Manorama was tolerable in this episode infact I liked her!.

I loved the scene at the breakfast table, it was really sweet how the family did not want to hurt Khushi's feelings and lied about the food being good when it really was not, only one who did not notice is a love struck Arnav who enjoyed his wife's cooking -- how cute!! Anjali is right, they are made for each other

So it looks like Payal is gone, it was written to seem like she went to the mandir but I doubt it. I am going to miss Deepali, especially given her scenes lately.

NK, true friend, here he was keeping a man he can't stand downstairs for unknown reasons but he trusts Khushi and realizes something is up, will he soon be clued into what Arnav and Khushi know??

Good to see Khushi and Arnav connecting the pieces and realizing just how long Shyam has been spying on them, question is what will they do next? These two cannot expose Shyam right away, those videos do not show his face so Di would never believe them plus they must find out what his goal is here. There has to be more to Shyam's revenge that meets the eye.

Precap, logic applies granted not by much but it is good to see the CVs have not forgotten the fact Di stepped on broken glass and would have cuts on her feet. I know, one wonders how she would not notice or wince in pain but lets not forget who we're talking about here - its Di who thrives for being in SKD (sapno ke duniya) with Shyam back nothing else has mattered not even her miscarriage.

Overall, a good episode with an interesting track showing the shaatir dimaag of Khushi and Arnav vs. a careless Shyam. I just have one request for the CVs find a way to balance this track by incorporating more cute scenes for Arnav and Khushi, no cutting them short. Have Arnav taking Khushi out for a couple of hours while NK and Akash keep an eye on things at home, that way we see more of the cast involved in this track while showing some romance on the side.

THIS DAY THAT YEAR

14^TH September, 2011

Ek Garam Chai ki Pyaali Ho…

(aur usko munh pe phenkne waali ho…)

This episode marked one of the turning points in ARHI's love story. An episode which touched the heart and also tickled your funny bones. A goofy, clumsy Khushi, the first glimpse of ASR's sense of humour; the first glimpse of ARHI's unconscious protectiveness towards each other… this episode had the true IPKKND magic… AAHHH!!! Those were the days…

ASR had insulted Khushi and taunted her about her "Aukaat" and she in turn had retorted that she will definitely come to him if ever she took it into her head to publish a book on the subject. Seething from the fact that Khushi for once was not responsible for ruining his laptop, the mulish Arnav had dug in his heels and refused to apologise to her; on the other hand he insults her further saying that his sister too need not apologise to her as Khushi is merely Anjali's servant and nothing more. Both are hurt, both are angry, both are hot and both are bothered…

Anjali takes Khushi a downstairs to the hall where Nani, Mami and Lavanya are assembled, involved in their work. Nani notices both the girls are upset and asks them what is wrong. Anjali is about to put Nani into the picture when Khushi interrupts her by changing the subject. She knew it wil cause the old lady to take her grandson to task if the truth were known.

She claims to dislike the Laad Governor with all her heart, but she didn't want to get him into trouble… what is between Arnav and Khushi, remains between Arnav and Khushi…

Anjali gets up to get tea… Khushi offers to get it for her… Anjali directs her to the poolside…

The poolside has been a witness to some of the more epic moments in ARHI's journey of love… and so it happened…

Khushi is pouring tea when she senses him… he is there right behind her, she knows it though she refuses to look back at him. He is looking at her, there is a hesitancy in his approach, a softness and a shade of guilt on his face… he knows he has done wrong, but he has no experience in tendering apologies… he has no intention of apologizing, but he wants to say something, do something to erase the previous incident. Arnav has no idea how to go on, but he decides to do something about it, we have no idea what… unfortunately, we'll never know…

Arnav walks purposefully upto her, stops just behind her… she is aware of him, looks at him just once and just as quickly, turns her face aside… she has no intention of starting a conversation, it seems…

Arnav has other ideas… he initiates the conversation…

He is not angry, he is not impetuous; in fact it seems as if he is calm, and contained… his tone is even bordering on the gentle…

Khushi, tume…

But the firecracker is in no mood to listen to him… frankly, she's had enough of him and his temper tantrums…

Bas! Humein apni aukaat ke bare mein aur baat nahi karni hai!

She turns her back on him and moves forward to pick up the tea tray, when… she is stopped; by holy of holies! A tug on her dupatta! Her Dupatta! That sacred piece of cloth which covers that narrow strip of skin around the graceful column of her neck, that makes all the difference between "Sabhya" and "Asabhya"; without which a sanskari Hindustani Lakdi is supposed to die of shame!

Impulsive Khushi! Hot-headed Khushi! The idiot that she is, she gets this record-breaking moronic thought in her head that "The Arnav Singh Raizada", business tycoon, suave man of the world, class personified had the temerity to lay his manicured hands on Khushi Kumari Gupta's Dupatta!

Humara Dupatta Chhodiye!

Arnav Singh Raizada is confused…

What?

He probably never had to lift a finger, and women came flocking to him… and here he is being accused of laying his hands on a Lucknowi piece of cloth? Unbelievable!

But Khushi is still under a misunderstanding… no further thoughts, no deliberations… seedha action!

Aapki himmat kaise hui!

She had thrown hot tea in his face! And for a while the foolish girl doesn't realize her folly…. She stares at him rather haughtily as if to say,,, now you know what happens to people who grab Khushi Kumari Gupta's Holy Lajja Vastra…

Only to realize seconds later, that No! Cactus Singh Raizada had done nothing of the sort! The infernal cloth had entangled itself in another cactus altogether… the botanical kind…

Khushi could only look on shocked. She knew she had done it now! She was done for!

To his credit, he said not a word… but glare he did! If looks could kill… Khushi Kumari Gupta would have been dog meat… dead dog meat…

Mortally scared… Khushi runs… she runs for her life… but she looks at him from a safe didtance, only to see him standing exactly where she had left him… breathing deeply, hands fisted, eyes closed… trying to control himself; rage? Or something else?

Khushi finds out from Anjali that Arnav has been scalded… consumed with guilt, she traipses after Anjali, a tube of ointment in her hands to tend the injured…

Once again the unique equation between Mr. Raizada and Miss Gupta is brought about, when Khushi is about to confess her role in the fiasco, Arnav stops her by changing the topic and diverting anjali's mind…

He claims to dislike the Low Class Girl with all his heart, but he didn't want to get her into trouble… what is between Arnav and Khushi, remains between Arnav and Khushi…

After Anjali has left the room, a contrite and shame faced Khushi approaches him… consumed with guilt, she has no idea what to say to him… but before she could say anything, Arnav shuts the door in her face!

Arnav is angry; but more than that he is hurt… perhaps he didn't understand why he was feeling so hurt…

He never could stand her tears; it is another matter altogether that he hurts her with his words and ends up hurting her by his rash actions… but he would never ever intentionally ause her physical harm… so when Khushi scalded him like that, he thought it was pre-meditated on her part…

That she was equally hot-headed and rash… the thought never entered his head. For a change, ASR was at the receiving end of Khushi's wrath; and he was not liking it one bit! Yes, he is hurt!

Khushi too, was not having an easy time of it… faced with the enormity of what she has done, she determines to make amends… she decides to apologise…

And what follows is the most endearing and clumsiest apology we have ever been privileged to see…

Arnav is upset by the events of the morning and has retired to the poolside to find solace in his plants. Once more the poolside is a silent witness to the scene…

An apprehensive Khushi approaches the upset young man. Arnav is in no mood to entertain any overtures from Khushi's side…

Tum yahaan kya karne aayi ho?

Stuttering and stammering she begins her apology… it starts off well enough…

Hum… Woh… humara matlab hai ki… hum aisa nahi karna chahte the… hum aapko jalaana nahi chahte the…

So far so good… but this is goofy Khushi we are talking about… her apology is also bound to be goofy… she is overcome by her emotions and has teared up. Her tears has stopped Arnav in his tracks and he looks on… almost as if he is rooted to the spot

… aaj tak humne kissi ko bhi nahi jalaya!

Woh humein laga tha ki, (sniff) ki aapne humara Dupatta pakda tha…

Par aapne nahi pakda thaaa….

By now she was wailing in earnest… and Arnav was unnerved… he is almost scared out of his wits… he looks left, right, this way and that to ensure that the scene is not being witnessed and moves forward, in a gesture encouraging her to stop crying…

…unaware that there is a lethal looking gardening tool in his hand, which serves to frighten her further… he lowers it and composes himself, not much if the next words to come out of his snarky mouth are any indication…

Toh kya pakadna chahiye tha?😆

She is still crying… typical man that he is… he is terrified of female tears…

Dekho, pehle tum rona band kar do!

Khushi looks at him in wide eyed wonder… once assured that he is not in the trade mark rage of his, she proceeds with her speech… but not before an innocent comment…

Aap naa… (sniff, sniff) aap bahot ajeeb ho!

🤣

Now that was something… the pot calling the kettle black… He couldn't believe his ears…

What! Main ajeeb hoon? Aur yeh tum keh rahi ho?😆

In her innocence, Miss Khushi Kumari Gupta answers this rhetorical question with a nod of her head. He could only look on in disbelief…

Having rendered him temporarily speechless… Khushi Kumari Gupta proceeds to list her many pranks and iniquities methodically and in chronological order…😆

Aapki (sniff) gaadi mein mishri ki goli humne daali thi...

Aur aapke jooton mein joooce… (sob, sob)

By now the girl was making quite a racket with her tears… he was again frightened… frightened someone would come. Poor boy was certain that if his family saw her crying in his vicinity, he will be hauled over hot coals for it… whether he was responsible or not. He had to distract her somehow! His famed wits had scattered… and in a desperate attempt to stem her tears, he helpfully reminds her that it was Mango juice that she had poured into his footwear…😆

Woh santre ka nahi mila naa, isliye…🤣

KKG assures him in all earnestness that it was only because she couldn't find Orange juice that she had to substitute Mango juice instead…

And the Iceberg Begins to Thaw…😊

And Arnav Singh Raizada smiled… he had it alright… he had a sense of humor; a trifle rusty perhaps, but he couldn't help but smile at the goofy creature in front of him…

Khushi also apologises for throwing tea on him. Arnav for the first time is made aware of Khushi's innocence and her child-like approach to life. For the first time he is brought face to face with the fact that she is absolutely devoid of guile…

The scene ends with him offering her tissues and her giving an enormous and undignified snort into her Dupatta….

EWWW!!!

Humein jo kehna tha, humne keh diya! Ab hum jaa rahe hain!

Unbelievable!

The episode also had Lavanya exercising Miss Mutton… just to get into the good books of Nani… unfortunately, mutton walked off by herself, leaving Lavanya petrified. She runs to Mami for help… who is even more scared…

Oh My Gaad! Miss Kashyap! Ab tum bhi tip top se switch off hui jao! Kahe ki, saasu ma ko pataa chal jaayi naa, toh tumri bhi haaliday, humri bhi haaliday!🤣

Miss Kashyap, ek kaam karo! Tum post office chali jao aur khoob saari isstamp khareed ke le aao! Poocho kahe…

(Kahe?)😆

Kahe ki tumra aur Arnav Bitwa ka relation… sirf chitti patri ma… la…ang distance relation!🤣

Mami brings is a duplicate goatwa to fool Nani. Khushi recognizes the goat as fake and tries to dissuade Lavanya from going ahead with the plan and trying to fool Nani. Lavanya, instigated by Mami refuses to listen to her…

Khushi decides to find Laxmi on her own…

Aahat , kiski hai yeh Aahat . Of Shyam entering the room or Arhi getting closer to the truth .

Oh Gosh 1^st page, was not expecting to be here. I am sacred as to what do I write . Neways will try my best for 1^st page

Arhi enter their room talking about moon and stars and the walk in fresh air they just went to, as they have to pretend for Shyamu . They change and Arnav is on the bed and sees Khushi coming out after a bath , can't resist this temptation and pulls her on the bed. The hormones of Chotte are sure up now after the wedding rituals finally up. He is about to kiss when he suddenly realizes about the cameras and says he is sleepy. Damn the cameras we didn't get our SR of remarriage. Once inside the blanket they talk sweet nothings, and Arnav gets a small slap on his chest from his lovely wife.

Now will this raise Shyam's suspicions because it was very sudden withdrawal by Arnav , never mind anything is possible in IPK land. The cameras which were not visible before are now all of a sudden visible and that too with neon lights. Why are the CV's hell bent on turning IPK into run of the mill story .

Next day morning Khushi is serving Tea to all , she looks pretty in the Red Sari but honestly not a newlywed bride. Never mind Mami wants to know what's for breakfast and she informs the bride about Halwa Poori and Nani , ANji are excited and join her in the kitchen , why is Khushi shown nervous here she can definitely cook so well. Maybe to show that as a proper bride this is her first official cooking rasam as first she was forced bride and had to do it reluctantly. But didn't expect Khushi to falter , but I think we are looking at typical family scene. The breakfast is served at the table and NK comments so sweetly as Papad and Poori 2 in one. All taste and make faces as they know it's not good. But Arnav keeps on eating oh such a adorable husband. Does not wish to upset wife , but wife tastes and stops him from eating. I wanted to know what so bad in it, less sugar , Halwa not cooked properly or the brown pooris. Neways Arhi talk through their eyes and Khushi wants to open the wedding presents and request all to do it together. While all are busy in opening the gifts Arhi take this opportunity to go check Shyam's Laptop but our sweet NK stops them , but our ever loving DI tells him they need to spend time alone.

Once in Anji's room , Arnav opens the laptop, now want to know how did Arnav get access to the files , was it not password protected. Seems like since Arnav has got his Harvard brain back , our resident villain become dumb. How come he has not deleted his crime videos or was he so overconfident that no one can open his laptop. Well I am sure Once Shyam opens the door Arhi will not be there , must have escaped thru the pool side , anyways all the rooms seem to be connected via the pool. God only knows how many pools does RM have.

The episode was OK and didn't grip me as it was gripping during the Kidnapping track when Khushi was investing. I am looking forward to the involvement of NK in this detectivegiri , hope CV's can give us this. Overall an OK episode , very low by IPK standards and not at all engaging. The precap shows Khushi wanting to massage ANjali's leg and there she sees the wounds. How did these wound appear all of a sudden. Isn't Anji finding difficulty in walking and how come no bandage has been applied to it. Gosh this serial is so damn illogical now a days. Never mind I am going to leave my brains behind while watching it henceforth. Hope the CV's handle this track well as it is one of the most IMP tracks of IPK.

So ladies and Gentlemen get ready for CID type of inbhestigation in IPK land by our very own Arnav and Khushi , don't miss it out from Mon- Fri at 8PM only on SP.
