Episode 70: Arshi Scenes only
DM may have listened to Khushi and finally took that break, but got Krishna to cover for her. Bal Gopal seems to handling her duties quiet well by being right in the middle of all the action, pyaar, nafrat all of it...maybe even with a nat-gat (mischievous) smile on his face.
As soon as His birth took place symoblicaly in the RM, there was need for ghee (purified butter). Naani, the ultimate cupid, sends Khushi while Anjali, oblivious cupid, sends Arnav with the ghee.
"Di sent it" Look at the way, he hands it to her, that look in his eyes looking into her eyes...soft tender, he had just seen her crying after the cop incident. I bet when di asked him to give her the ghee, he couldn't turn down an excuse to be close to her.
He turns to leave, but is halted by Khushi "Arre! aapke haath mein to ghee lag gaya hai (you have ghee on you hand)" the most precious glee in her eyes seeing this ghee on his shirt
"This means He sent you a sign" she joyfully tells him.
Ghee is purified butter, there is so much purity in this little tiff scene. Its fitting that a pure hearted Khushi would recognize this pure stain on Arnav, because it will be through ther that his pure soul will surface. Also they hold the purified butter together for a second representing the purity of their unconditional love, which is there, but as the butter needs to be boiled in order to be purified, their love need a bit of boiling too...ok LOTs of boiling and in Arnavs case boiling points.
"mera suit karaab kar diya (my suit is ruined)" Arnav's gives his point of view and tries to leave again but Khushi is too exceited about this, such a nice big sign on Krishna's birthday, she wants Arnav to benefit from His blessings.
"rukiye na! (wait), Anjali walks in, " Di, look! ghee on his shirt, its such good luck, please tell him to stay for Aarti"
Anjali tries to no avail, "Di, you know i don't believe in this stuff" he says, but Khushi reminds him that he did the aarti at teej, oh they both remember that aarti very well, the look in their eyes says so
Addressing Di he answers Khushi's question, "I came during teej because of you, this our house, i can't do as i please here"
"arrre! you can't leave like this!" Khushi is very serious and adement about this ishara (sign), but he is out of patience, "Iss ghee ke girne se mere dry cleaning bill ke badne se alava aur kucch nahi hua hai (all thats happened by this ghee dropping is that my dry cleaning bill has increased!)" he clearifies he doesn't believ in that statue or its signs. "to iss baat pe tumhare Bal Gopal mujhpe bijli girana chahe na? to mein intazaar karoonga. (so for saying this if your Bal-Gopal wants to strike me with lightning, i'll wait for it)"...such a strong statement that shows the depth of his beliefs and what he stands for, whether created by tragedy or cercaimstance.
KHushi doesn't see it that way, she is apalled. a small town girl, where religion is given much importance, this was unbarable...how dare he insult the almighty like that and that too on this birthday? nope she's not going to let it happen, she promises Lord Krishna that she will bring him to the aarti somehow and make him apoligize. Trick an atheist into coming to the temple? hmmm normaly wouldn't be a fan of that, but he did insult Bal Gopa pretty badly, He deserves to have some fun with ASR...as Khushi would say in the spirit of Krshna's birthday
"aaj mausam hai suhana
Nat-ghat hone ka hai bahana
what the what the what the"
"kyu maakan chor?"
Gardually she will understand him and learn to respect his beliefs. During the remairriage track when Buaji wants to tie a raksha dhaaga on him, Khushi stops her "unka in cheezon mein vishwaas nahi hai to zabarzasti karna teek nahi hoga na? (He doesn't believe in this stuff so forcing him wouldn't be right)" but for now, her only goal is to get him down for the aarti. in the midst of all her sankapan (craziness), She wants him to take advantage and get Gods blessing .
She uses La's as a scapegoat knowing she'll do anythign to impress that "Gabbar" (Nani)", first she helps her to get into a saari then plants and idea in her head "get Arnavji to come down and impress Nani"
La is skeptical "It'll never happen, not from me or anyone" but her despiration to impress Naniji, she stillt tries...but gets chewed up and spit out. "Lavanya! i told you i don't want to come downstairs...i said leave me alone!"
Khushi comes up with another plan which La passes off as her own to Nani and Anjali.
Arnav is workingon this laptop when the power goes out in the house, "What the he--" Eventually makes his way down stairs where he spots match box and candle. He lights it up and as planned the lights come on
He had just lit the the diya for the Aarti and turns around to find everyone happy to see him tricked. "jai Kaniya lal ki, haathi goda palki" a popular saying to praise lord krishna, said simlutaniously by Anjali, Khushi and La. He looks at Khushi, having an inkling she had something to do with this.
Anjali pleads him to stay and after some more resistance,he does. Khushi signals Krishna of her victory with a wink. gotta love her friendships with the higher powers, so personal whether is DM or Krishna
The aarti resumes and conclueds but i need forgiveness from Khanah, as i could only concentrate on Arnav and couln't help but notice the way he looked at our baby Krishna. More than his lack of belief in Him, I saw anger and pain.
whether this was Barun or meant to be shown this way by the director but from what i see,IMO this scene confirms that the pain of his past that he carries with him is the main reason for his being an atheist or lack of trust in God, it's not just his practical nature. He lost not only faith in God but also in people. By next Janmastami, still an atheist, but his look during the puja softens, shows the direct effect of Khushi in his life, literally and figuratively
Lovely divine moment when Khushi goes to put the arti plate down and the diya is in danger of blowing out, instinctively, Arnav reached out to save it along with Khushi... Their oneness on display again.
Druing teej they held the aarti plate together, and here they are protecting the diya. The perpose of the diya is to sustain harmony in ones life. A perfect sign of their bonding as man and wife, and all they would do to protect eachother.
The plan went off without a hitch...almost. Arnav overhears Khushii and La's conversation and is as expected fuming. notice him only fuming at Khushi, even his special nafrat (hatred) is only for her😉 though he is angry at La for listening to Khushi, the magnitude of anger for Khushi is enormous. How dare this nobody mess with "Arnav Singh Raizada?"
he yells at La "baki sab to teek hai, but you too? ...i can't believe that worthless girl outsmarted Lavanya Kashyap" ...he must not see the same La we see. he storms out of the room.
Ofcourse now we are worried about Khushi, she sure knows how to push his buttons...to be continued
