MIndblowing episode. Thanks for the post. It was a nostalgic journey down memory lane. Those were the days !!
I would rate this as the sweetest and most heart wrenching love confession ever seen on tv !!
The circumstances in which it was made - the hate marriage, arnav's misunderstanding, Khushi's bewilderment at his cold behaviour and his manipulation, and his refusal to tell her the reason for their marriage, all this was in the background. yet under the influence of bhang, all defences fell apart, and they bared their hearts to one another. There was no longer any need or pretence as the bhang penetrated their reservations.
Ofcourse they did retract immediately the influence wore off. Khushi dint rember, while arnav did biut did not acknowledge.
