this unforgettable scene is from the first episode i ever saw :) i honestly could not take my eyes away from the couple on the screen wondering what was i watching and what was going on. inbetween ads i bombarded my cousins, who made me watch it with them, with dozens of questions - is he the hero? REALLY? does he know he's in love with her? does she know he loves her? does she love him back? if so, why was she engaged to someone else? wait, why was he engaged to someone else? were these two once a couple? did they break up? why is he being so evil to her? how could he be the hero, he's actingly distinctly unheroically? who's the other guy, are u sure she doesn't like him? but this guys being such a jealous git ... he's so hurtful, HOW r they going to get together??????
this scene was beautifully written, beautifully directed and subtly enacted by barun and sanaya. the undercurrents, the tension between them was palpable even to a novice like me - it got me hooked to ipk. i have to say i LOVED khushi in this scene, she was quietly dignified in the face of such a hostile and aggressive personal attack. i also have to say i did not like ASR with his overbearing attitude and wondered why she had ever fallen for him when the perfectly lovely other guy seemed much better (dumbo me :) but this sweet, strong, independent, thoughtful girl obviously preferred complicated, contrary, enigmatic alpha males with deeply hidden depths...
so i started watching ipk from this point because i kept wondering how was this lovely girl going to end up with this idiot, i needed to know. but two more episodes in i have to give it to barun, he gave me glimpses beneath the veneer that ASR projected to the world, that there was something else going on, that there was more to him than met the eye. the attitude seemed to be mostly directed at KKG, therefore she was obviously in his head, in his heart, under his skin, not where he wanted her to be. he didn't behave as badly with anyone else and was downright sweet with his sister. khushi scared him in some way, made him irrational. hmmm, curiouser and curiouser. so then i went back and watched all the episodes from the beginning ... and i was lost :)))))
