Ruby 's post ..
Shikha's queries ... DCR 78
I have another question which also was being debated several times in IF and also other posts
Do you really think Arnav was virgin ?
I think that even if he did not have any physical thing with Shitty Tal he did have physical relation
with La seeing how comfy was La with ASR in the bedroom scene and he with La and her touch and
kiss as well .
I would love to hear your take
Another question - When did Khushi actually fall in love and when did she realise that she was in love
with ASR and when did ASR actually fell in Love with Khushi attracted yes since beginning but
Falling in love not very sure .
Disclaimer : I hope as i write this i don't sound like a romantic preacher ... but what i write here is IPK script specific ... 😉
What was love for Arnav & Khushi ... when Arnav told his Di after the kidnapping incident that when he married Khushi he did not love her ... what did he actually mean ... He meant that our marriage was not a LOVE MARRIAGE ... it was a marriage made in COMPROMISE ... HATRED .. EGO .. ANGER & whats more ANGST ...
How do u pin point the moment these 2 fell in love .. to me Love crept up on them .. it was there one day living in their hearts ...
lets take Khushi ...
Her first glimpse of Arnav is in the mandir during rakhi when he shows her his CAPABILITY OF LOVE & DEVOTION ... thats the first time her heart says ... heres someone as devoted as i am ... heres someone who loves with the same abandon as i do ... heres someone who can GIVE of himself as much as i can
Her next glimpse is at the mandir once again when she sees this cruel unemotional man taking time out of a busy sked to offer a small girl a smile & reassurance ... was it at that time she fell in love with him ... when she felt how truly SOFT his heart was inside that hard crust he showed the world ...
Or is it when she sees him fight for her in a remote dhaba ... any woman worth her salt will be impressed by a man showing such single minded possessiveness for her ...
Or is it when he clutches her to himself when he says lemme show u what is CHARACTER DHEELA ...... she can feel not only his ANGER but his DESIRE too at that time ... hence the walk into the next room & soft caress on his finger marks on her hands ...
Now lets c Arnav ... for him is it when he sees the girl who will do almost anything for her family ... who is as devoted to her family as he was ... who would take any insult he would dole out just so that she can deliver a happy life for her family
Is it when he sees a woman whose simple gestures of Give can turn the most bitter hearts sweet ... e.g. La
Is it when he sees a woman who can run to the aid of his sister .. who cares to bring a small smile on his sisters face ... just like him
Is it when he sees the female brigade in his house merrily dancing to keep her back & her abandoned hug & love to all despite the insults he doled out to her .. she was willing to be in Shantivan to HELP ... at whatever the cost to her
Is it when he sees a girl who haltingly tries to offer him comfort while she herself was breaking to pieces .. so much so that her soft heart melted his resolve never to say SORRY ... & he unbends enuf to apologise to her
Is it when he sees this strong girl who holds her family together .. crumble in his arms ... the only place she could let her true self be .. show her true emotions ...
Is it when she insists he tell her what the KISS & PAYAL meant to him .. a girl clearly out of her depth , struggling like him with the tumultuous emotions ... heart breaking in pieces coz he is hitched to another ... but STILL is able to SMILE .. & make a special sweet just for him
Well according to me ... LOVE for these 2 was never a moment or a episode .. or a event which happened with fan fare ... from a story point of view .. the makers showed this story as a divine Love story ... a true one line would be ... Devi maiyyah ne inki jodi banayi thi ... how in that case can the maker ever show one moment of REALISATION ... they were meant to be ... SO its up to u as a viewer what u wish to mark as the momentus occasion ... it could be the first day they MET ... cause even then THEY BOTH FELT each others presence ...
It could be at any of the million skirmishes they had in between .. IT could be in that deserted guesthouse .. when she pushes him & he pushes right back ... both fighting strong emotions ... for him that she could have been taken away from him .. she that finally HE CAME TO SAVE HER ...
Did u ever not wonder why the I love you moment in this story .. was so tame even thought this was a LOVE STORY ... why both Arnav & Khushi did not bother asking the other what they felt for the other .. why Arnav never demanded an answer to his I love you Khushi ... cause it was never needed ... their I love you was in each eye lock .. their i Love you was in each Farak Padta hai ... their i love you was in each skirmish ...
A divine love story like this ... the only way the maker could show the love was to show it to the viewer .. that they loved ... there was never a doubt in the mind of u the viewer that they loved ... not in the stormy rainy parking lot .. not in the mandir during teej .. not in the office when she asks him to call LA back home & says her leaving Does not matter to u right & he says yes it does not matter to me ... not during the diwali almost kiss & rejection ... NOR when they first acknowledge their love ... when KHUSHI speaks about her engagement .. there was never a doubt in ur mind the viewer that these 2 loved each other ... but were fighting a losing battle denying it to themselves ..
Now if u want to know about the self realisation of love ... again for Arnav i would think he always knew he liked the girl .. she was someone who " mattered " ... his denial stemmed from the fact that for him LOVE WAS ALL ENCOMPASSING ... when he loved he loved with his whole being ... hence the line he says during the second shaadi ... " bola tha na jee nahi paonga tumhare bina"
But yes if u want to know when he succumbed to the feelings was that day in the poolside .. when she clutches him & cries .. the day she realised Shyam was Anjali's husband ... thats the day Arnav succumbed to his feelings for KHUSHI ..
According to me ... Khushi succumbed to her feelings for Arnav in the hospital when she saw him standing there solid as rock ... & his arms were the only place she could find solace .. thats the day Khushi succumbed to her feelings for Arnav ...
Hence the third hug during the kidnapping track ... is after Arnav asks her ... " THEEK HO TUM " ... it was a culmination of their love story that day ... it was letting down all guards ... it was him OPENLY SHOWING HER HE CARED ... it was her FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGING .. ShE cared & she needed ... & HENCE THE HUG ... the first hug is her realisation .. the second hug is his realisation .. & the third hug is them coming out from hiding their feelings ... or rather denial ...
I am glad that u as a viewer never could pinpoint the moment that these 2 fell in love .. even i cannot .. cause the makers did not intend for ONE SUCH MOMENT ... thats the brilliance of the maker .. GUL & NISSAR .. hats off to 4 lions team 👏
Now for ur other question ... seriously people in this forum actually spent time discussing sexual orientation of Arnav Singh Raizada .. OMG .. thats a different kinda crazy fandom ... well once again i am left scratching my head .. which show did i watch ... Isn't it clear when La says in the beginning itself ... ARNAV & She were in a LIVE IN RELATION ... & she was definitely not his Housekeeper .. so it had to be an affair ... Now since he did not LOVE La .. its a simple deduction what kinda affair they had ... 😳
Hope have been able to answer ur queries Shikha ...
Hi Ruby !
First of all Sorry sorry lakho baar sorry (Khushi style) for not coming to DCR and reading your awesome post.
Ruby very beautifully explained .Thank you very very much .😛
Reflecting now I feel falling in love for Arnav it could Guest house episode and even for khushi same time or may be the Red saree photo shoot well...
Arnav 's Virginity - Thank you Ruby .
True this has been most talked about topic .
Actually I was sure that he was not virgin till Shitty tal track came and when Khushi tries to find out whether Arnav was intimate with Shitty or not and asked abt having Jalebi with Shitty LOL then he says that he has that only her and there was several post discussing that Arnav meant he was virgin till he met Khushi ( link attached) and also he tells Khushi that he was not that type of boy
These points made me question Arnav 's virginty .
But I guess he was not virgin and with La he did have physical relation ( La did keep her hand on upper thigh of Arnav this says all .I cheked this scene after seeing its discussion ) but that must be before he met Khushi as after meeting Khushi all he could of was Khushi only .
What do you think ?
Ruby - I have a question - why while the consum... scene the sad female version of kyun dard hai Itna ...was being played . Oh God this made me feel as if something bad is going to happen to them .
Another question - I was also wondering as you mentioned in one of the DCR that when Arnav sees Khushi and Shyam together and marries her which brings Khushi closer to Shyam in same house hence chances of them meeting alone and getting closer was more . Why did Arnav take a chance and it wasnt that he was keeping eye on Khushi . He just did not bother.
One more -Anjali on Rakhi day tells Khushi that she will organize brother for her meaning Shyam why did she not say to tie Rakhi to Arnav who was present there and his GF La was also there so no romatic angle could be there between Arnav and Khushi at that time . I always wondered what if that day Anjali had asked Khushi to tie Rakhi to ASR that day how would have Arnav reacted as he was he was already in love with her and aware of her (I know it is stupid question but wherever I see this episode ( I lost count) I always have this question in my mind .
Ruby - Thank you very much for your beautiful analysis 😊and once again sorry for being late .
