AAP! SHUT UP!

Leaving aside the adorableness of this moment which was enchanting as it was endearing, for me it illuminated aspects of Khushi's character emphasizing why this characterization, all credit to Sanaya and the writers is so different to that group of bindaas ladies that she has been unfairly and ignorantly grouped into. 

The writers through their diligent detailing of all those relationships in Khushi's life, from her sister, her mother and even Arnav's sister, have given her characterization a completeness that makes it wholesome. 

So that as Arnav provokes, prods and pokes at her, igniting, infuriating and inciting indignation, setting ablaze her soul which begins to scorch her heart, her hand grips tightly onto her duppatta.  A cursory glance would maybe lead to associate her act to fists clenched in a retaliatory manner BUT for me this is NOT what this scene or act depicts.

It was the physical manifestation of that spiritual struggle Khushi felt deep within her soul, that sting burning her bones through to the electricity of the goosebumps on her skin.  It is that haya that her heart garnered by the principle bestowed on her by those who nurtured her into this enchanting girl before us.  She grasps for support as that need of hers to voice injustice fights against that pull of respectfulness, that bashfulness at intimacy FOR in truth anger is intimate for it requires a closeness, a nearness to the other.

Her soul struggles to hold onto life long ideals and morals, as her mind protests that she can not say such familiar words to the stranger before her so that her heart is almost ripped apart.  Then that moment all these powerful movements finally crash and ...

AAP! SHUT UP!

Echoing that conflict within her.  The respectful nature of aap contrasting that need to startle him back to reason through extremes.  It was beautiful!  As I said all credit to the writers and Sanaya.

With much love, Sabah

Very well said indeed Sabah...i also loved the fact that though she did muster the courage n retaliate with a "SHUT-UP" her values for her to prefix it with an "AAP"...how sweet...n brilliant on CV's part...👏

Great seeing a post by you Sabah! Really well said! I don't have anything to add.
The whole scene, Khushi's determination not to back down, even while every word he said was breaking her down from inside, and then followed by Aap Shut up was the perfect reply. Also, he attacked her "aukat" and then when he goes Shut up, she replies in his language.

Sabah a very rare post from you as a topic maker. Wonderful analysis of Kushi's feelings and character.

" all credit to Sanaya and the writers "

Agreed, I am glad I wasn't the only one who appreciate these small details that are substantial in their significance. 

With love, Sabah

Ishita,

she replies in his language.  I didn't think of this aspect, that is so true. I loved this angle.  Dil se thanks for enlightening me and illuminating this niche within a nuance that is this wonderful moment.

This sums up Kushi's core. She is brought up in manner where conformity and decorum to norms and practice are etched in her heart and mind. To say something rude is not in her nature. She is fighting a dilemma of her own. Her mind protests but her heart cant say it. This paradox of her nature, which gets manifested especially around Arnav is what the CVs have done beautifully. Kudos to those writers and Sanaya for bringing out exactly this anomaly , the contradiction of her own feelings.

I want to post more BUT I am so behind in episodes that by the time I watch my commentary is old news.  I only watched this recently because a friend told me about it.

I loved this line of thought. Wonderful.  I agree with you, I love the manner they illuminate her character through the catalyst that is Arnav.  It is high level of writing indeed, for they subtly contrast and compliment rather than making grand statements.  It is more so wondrous here because as you say, it is a paradox, the contrast is contained within itself and yet still conflicts against his character too.  Beautifully done.

With love, Sabah
