@ tantya, db, anna
excellent and critical review as usual.
I realized two things today. There are two aspects to this post marriage track.
1. Emotional journey of arnav 'khushi together.
2. Shyam's angle- for story build up.
Presently story is concentrating on---emotional saga of arnav-khushi. So sham's story is taking a back seat.
So far it was revolving round arnav. We related and sympathized with arnav's feelings, his grief. Today they started with khushi. She started giving her piece of mind.
Theirs is not love at first sight. They fell in love neck-deep gradually, peeling each other layer by layer. This can happen only when one start understanding a person and come to like him. Though today they are not on good terms but still, somewhere in the bottom of the heart she knows, he cares. That was beautifully put in the form of beauty n the beast story. She knows her rajkumar is arnav. That is the great relief that at least she acknowledges it. Actually I did not expect her to b smart overnight.
Will she able to get to the bottom of his behavior towards her? Coming episodes will answer.
I agree with doods, when arnav finds khushi, his expression/ reaction should have been shown.
Overall i liked the episode.

Hi Doods:Wonderfully written as always.So agree with your statement above -- actually it seems the whole MU plot has not been planned and worked out by the CVs. This plot had so much potential for showing the emotional growth in the leads as well as closer insight into the Raizada and Gupta family members, but its a pity to see the show in its present state. The disjointed treatment of the plot and these random sub-tracks have spoiled the narrative for me.I recall when the forced marriage took place, Gul Khan in one of her interviews said that they needed 6 months to establish the characters and their dynamics otherwise the forced marriage would have looked frivolous. But now they are butchering the same characters left right centre without a second thought. Except for the first two weeks after the forced marriage, the normal and the most instinctive reactions of persons stuck in a similar situation have been overlooked, instead, we have been oscillating between indirect confessions of love and violent expressions of hate. There is no continuity in the emotions of the leads - it's like each sunrise brings a new day and you forget what happened yesterday.Even if they do not want to show any major scenes and confrontation till IPL is over, they should at least make an attempt to show a continuous series of episodes which easily flow into one another and also reflect the trust developing between Arnav and Khushi; Khushi's anxiety over Arnav's whimsical behaviour, her disgust with Shyam's overtures, her trying to confide in Payal etc. In fact, if nothing else, this period can be used for Khushi's monologues on what a big mess her life is and why is the prince hiding behind the mask of the beast.I just hope that they can salvage the story before it's too late!

Tant, I have nothing, absolutely NOTHING to comment on today's episode. Before I get into the pointers, one request I have to all the Redux readers that don't judge any episode on the face value and more over don't judge my POV on just by reading it.
Let me start with the pointers:-1. Where is the continuation from Friday???
2. Khushi- Arnav's Maan-Abhimaan part II. Since they dragged it, they did it in a funny way. They have used the "Beauty and the Beast" story that will help these two extend the period of "Maan-Abhimaan" second part through "kabutar style love letter delivery". What a massacre and death of Arnav Singh Raizada's character portrayal???
3. Another thing is contradictory is Khushi understanding "the beast and the prince is the same person". I mean helloo???4. Then comes the second important message in the episode - ASR realized Khushi's inner opinion that she thinks him a Beast at one moment and a Prince in another moment. Now if this doesn't inspire him to connect the dots, then I have no say.
5. The last part was the confusion in Anjali's character:- I mean she concluded reading the letter that "these two are having a fight"???
