Sugar & Spice !!

A potpourri episode with different emotions thrown in to make a episode ...

The scene continued from y'day with Shashi recognizing Anjali and getting agitated ...A perplexed Khushi leading him to the room only for her to be stuck as she is unable to open the door...it befalls on the knight in shining armour * woh bhi ujala dhalke safedi paaya hai * and not the Asli damad to step forward to help out a ailing man and his adopted daughter ...The rest of the clan seem to exists in different dimension altogether ...The feeling of concern , the way he studies Khushi's face , checking to see whether distressed , reluctantly walking out ...seeking her permission to call the doc instead of imposing his will ...There speaks a sensitive man !! I liked that he got to see another side of hers - despite all her goofiness with him, she shoulders so much responsibility when it comes to her family and she does it alone with a smile.


If Arnav left the room thinking that all izz well, then he was definitely not prepared for the purgatory awaiting him ..The whole family are curious to see SHYAM BABUA ... whilst the ' S " name induces impotent anger, A strange restlessness , a dislike of the stranger who has dared to snatch away hhis girl ... A reluctant Khushi goes to do her family's bidding, constantly checking Arnav..perfect stream of communication running between Arnav and Khushi via their eyes ... a plea for understanding on seeing his accusatory eyes ...Khushi knocks on the door , A disgusted Arnav turns away , only for him to perk up slightly when there is no Shyam in the Bed room ...** Check under the bed, Khushi ** Aha, so that is where he was, wondered about that😆 In all this, did he notice how formal she was with her own fiancee, whereas with him, she simply barges in be it his bedroom or office with full rights.

With the DEAL finalized & nothing more to keep the family at Gupta's...The Raizada entourage move out ...A small smile pleased happiness crooking Arnav's face as he spies the GS hugging one another in mutual joy ...but his newly awakened conscience begins to smote , he returns after sending away the family ..he quietly and without beating around the bush tenders his apology , an apology which is accepted gracefully but he is also made aware of the fact that there is one another soul who holds herself responsible ... Arnav swiftly retorts that KHushi was completely blameless ...

Will Arnav remember this event when Shyam Manure hits the ceiling..can he recollect that Khushi has a tendency to blame herself even when the other party is the culprit ...Another intriguing factor was the triangle ,,,this time Payal taking the place of Anjali ... the difference does not end there ... while the earlier triangle was about fulfilling Anjali's whims or about her Marital life... this time Payal informs him on the course of action to take, points out the actual state ...Payal is going to have a role in Arnav's life...

I like the Arnav and Payal equation..I hope they focus and build it nicely. Apart from the family relationship they are also bound by their concern for Khushi. It was a fabulous scene brilliantly enacted by both. The key is like you correctly said, will he remeber it, will he also remember running into his jijai just outside Khushi's house a few months ago and Shyam coming up with a lame excuse that he was meeting a client (This was when Khushi had left for Lucknow and Arnav and Shyam had found her door locked)
As usual Arnav adopts his usual policy of running when assailed by emotions or caught by people when he is emotional..this time around there shall be no easy escape as Khushi lets out the air from his Tyre.. A furious Arnav is placated by her issuance of apology and gratitude , is brought down a peg or two when Khushi shows him up by replacing the Tyre ...But Arnav Boy has the last laugh as he leaves Ms.Gupa with her Jaw's touching the ground..

It is from this segment that the episode turned to farce ... Yes, The change in Arnav was brought out very well when he emerges angry, furious to confront a sleek looking, smugly grinning Khushi ..It says much for him that he does not even lay a finger on her nor start abusing her but angrily demands to know whether she has gone off her rocker ...and his amused smile rather than outrage or getting irked after being summarily dismissed by Khushi or his calm explanation to Khushi when she wants to know why the second car ..Boy !! This guy has been hammered around a lot that he has reached a almost Zen like state of calmness ..Arnav boy has traveled a long way..But what about Khushi ??

Yes, Khushi is supposed to be a child-like , brimming with optimism, effervescent joy ..what we are seeing is not a child-woman but a childish girl , a domineering girl who does not allow other's any say , an impulsive girl who does not think through the consequences of her actions ..the odd moments of maturity gets completely overshadowed by the regular waves of immature actions ... My poser is ..when Arnav Singh Raizada is being changed without changing his persona...why cant they do the same for Khushi ?? Ohh, wait..there was a change ...wasn't there..cos for the first time Khushi said BYE to Arnav instead of the usual Namaste !! is that a hint that now Khushi's makeover begins...I hope so !! Hoping so too..Maybe since the dramatic track is out to begin, they are giving us the last of Khushi's goofiness, dunno.

HI Sathya,

Your post are a fantastic read and rarely do I find an occasion to differ from your thought process. But i do today with you comment on Khushi needs to grow up .

Yes indeed she needs to grow up. She is very mature in many ways but her child like antics are irritating but part of who she is. She will grow up all she requires is a catalyst , a reason to do so . For Arnav it is different he has seen the harsh side of the world and lost sight of the child in him . In contrast Khushi though has lost her parents still has people who tolerate her foolishness. How do you propsoe that this self realisation shoudl dawn upon her that defalting a tyre is stupid.

i too have had the same issue with her with her constant interruptions when Arnav is about to speak or how she likes to interfere in his life but have grown to accept it . She will eventually learn and maybe Arnav needs to teach her that life is not only about nautanki all teh time.

Both will find a middlepath one day. Well I hope they do !!!

( Hey and this is not with the intention of siding with any charecter. It is just my opinion . Rgds )
