EPISODE 234
Day and Night
I loved this epi for so many reasons .This was one month anniversary of their wedding and within this month a lot has happened and surely the contrast of two different classes and their ways of dealing things was clearly shown here . Regardless the time and circumstances have been changed and the storms have been directed some where else in many cases but still how Rich and Poor deal things with different eyes is very much visible.
Pause here: Payesh who have love marriage are exchanging gifts alone and this side two of these who leave no stone in their vicinity to throw at each other are gathering the world's blessings in between family and friends.
love that in pink. giggling me.
Anjali and Babli talk over the unborn child was very insensitive as Anjali completely forgot she was sharing her excitement with an orphan...
something very weird about this chat and later babli cutting payal out of pictures, maybe tehy were seriously looking at an adoption of babli by payal akash idea, but then dumped it.
Khushi's entrance in RM was questionable with anguish in each and every eye and the Aarti was done with forcefully acceptance while Arnav's entrance is done in GH with smiles , parsaad and Blessings.
The episode opened with Arnav who was busy working on his lap top when Buaji and Garima started peeking hesitantly. Arnav becomes aware of their presence and calls Buaji "buaji aap ho kya "..and she says nahi ..hum nahi. It was cute. but the women scurry backwards without a whisper...Both house ladies informs him about some visitors who are here to see him... Arnav walks in the living room assuming that they came in response to his call calmly and in great composure to get check mate... 🤣 well said
Symbolism and connection:Loved this scene,DM idol behind the laptop as Truth is evading him just like DM.
noticed the idol too, couldn't interpret... shoukd have known you would... perfectly.
Yesterday - Khushi prevented the Prasad, truth reaching him just like the way she prevented shyam's truth reaching Arnav to protect him from hurt and he refused to sweets himself too because the truth is going to be laid out but he will refute purposely because of his anger... Today the truth is in front of him but he chooses to veil it with his own hindrance and reticence... as Laptop is an escape rout for him always... the metaphor of his inner barriers... Loved it. Hats off to CVs
Also soon Arnav will replace Salman's Khan in Khushi's life... Loved the the camera angle replacing Khan with Arnav...
ASR is sweating badly meaning he is melting due to HEAT of emotions and desires. Electricity goes away and there is nothing to prevent the ice turning to water... ASR's education on khushi and her family's values continues. As annoying as his behavior was today it simply emphasized his need to control and more importantly his fear of forming new relations.. because new relations means expectations, emotions.. and a need to be dependent on another.. irrespective of how hard he tries to fight it his love for Khushi is not deteriorating as he would like to believe but simply strengthening with time... 👏 👏
PONDERING CONNECTED DOTS: Khushi pastes Arnav's pic at the top of Salman Khan after her Roca..."aaj se hum paraye ho gaye..." and she commands her Laad Governor to smile through Moon and star convo and he does follow orders from his heart's queen.
Here comes Mun dukhaye.Such a contrast of Khushi's and Arnav .Khushi was questioned again by the society in a humiliated way with derogatory remarks .On the other hand on Arnav's mun dikhaye , the guests were interested to know about him.My grabber is he was sitting very humbly and meekly.Unlike Khushi where ppl just want to show off, Arnav was receiving BLESSINGS by heart...the biggest gift ever to protect them from envy and evil to be with each other for forever.!!!
But one thing was evident, if he stood up for her on her mun dikhaye, Khushi was there to defend his man ...care and love is always there...
Loved Arnav's look when he was declared as a 10th grade pass and at the top was being compared with a petty shopper.But my grabber is Buaji's annoyance and anger when her SIL was taken that low.She stood up for him.Love Buaji here...He is her Arnav Babua...her Nandkishore which she declares in front of Ladies who affirm that from their heart before leaving..
My grabber is when Taayiji asks Arnav whether he keeps Khushi happy , Arnav mumbles " Whatever"..but she picks up on it [smart lady] and seeks clarification and Khushi explains nicely by dipping her smile that her husband just said that he will keep her happy for eternity ..Arnav is listening all quietly.. Here comes the unexpected...both get blessed to stay together always not for this lifetime but for eternity "saat Janam..."...and that wipes off their masked beaming smile immediately The artificial smiling and hurting Khushi's heart wounded the most...Arnav who is aware of her condition, looks at her deeply.Both exchange questionable glances but unfortunately both are unable to answer any one of these rising tides. They continue on their way with their oceanic love in their hearts but can't resist the depth of it and stop in the mid and give each other a very deep look hoping to see a waterbuoy which can show the depth of heated desires and longing residing within them and might can make them turn and hold each other for forever..hoping to stop the time !!
Arnav's who till now had never given a thought to the imbroglio that what will happen to Khushi after the expiration of this contract...but as Khushi said ,"agar haath chod diya tou Rangoli kharab ho gayegi."... He will process info over these experiences.
Arnav...subconsciously ...registering the one thing lacking in his armor ...the common man's touch,the emotions that drive them,the values they pass to their children and lastly the geniune happiness which they share seeing the other's happiness around them
PONDERING CONNECTED DOTS:He is the one who will rewind Khushi's gear by forcing her and reminding her about all of this to take her home with him.
Today different personalities.. mind sets and worlds did collide with one another.. and it will take far more than a few days for them to begin understanding one another...I felt for Khushi today more than the wife or daughter I felt for a girl who has always been forced to strive for a sense of belonging.. Yes the Guptas care for her yet she is not their own has gradually shaped her the one we see before us today.. the girl who has perfected the art of deception by masking her true feelings . Today it was more deeper and clearer than ever..."aar par dikhta hai..."even if it was only for a moment we saw the emptiness and helplessness within her eyes with which she has buried the pain and pasted a smile upon her face.. a smile that conceals the wounds inflicted upon her very soul by the man she has unknowingly fell in love with...
She needs to come out of this delusion to that by hiding truths and masking fake smiles, nothing can be solved. With time one needs to mature and learn, one cant brush of every instant by hiding pain rather they need to evolve and learn better, Things will not fix by themselves. Arnav will help her mature and give her strength to face the harsh world. Both will learn about asli zindagi through each other.She will learn about his self made nature and he will learn how she conceals her deep pains behind her smile.
beautifully read and written... the writers and actors both created this idea so naturally and memorably. khushi's hidden pain, her looking away from pain, had its good and its weekness, as did arnav's barrier within. our true partners help us reach ourselves and resolve inside, not always by prescribed and conventional means, this insight the writers had almost instinctively. they were not just "hatke" as a couple, that hatke was needed to get the real work done inside. maybe i imagine this, but i always feel looking at them, especially up to 1 august 2012, that this was the story of a real couple, not a random, generic pair. that each one of us will have our specific tale, the important thing is that feeling you have for each other... that distills and stays as the final essence of the relationship and that never wanes or dies... the everyday details, oddities, challenges, whatever are there to make this bond more permanent, through laughter pain love hate everything and help us reach ourselves.
Finally AC comes which makes Gupta ladies displeased and discomfort at their lack of provision of comfort to him..Khushi watches the discomfited Amma and Buaji in silence and filled with embarrassment. Her face dwindled off at the indirect insult by her husband towards her family . But Both Ladies plastering a smile on their face allow Arnav to do whatever makes him comfortable and happy.Both leave silent Khushi with all the apologies for them .I must say Garima and Buaji are very understanding but my grabber is as this man of steel is melting because a person who talks with no fear and with eye contact with others is now unable to look at Buaji or Garima in the eye..👏 👏
He was fleeting his eyes away where his conscience was poking him for his has pricked him over his deplorable behavior and attitude that has hurt the loving hearts ...
Pause here: Recalling the contrasting first day of both of them in each other's house after Amma's reminder ...There ,she was thrown out of her room and her feelings were not respected .This is the first time a glimpse of Khushi's mind reels out the painful time which has been thrown her into this agitated hell by plastering a smile on her face.Today, on contrary Her family bends backwards to keep him happy, his happiness is their priority even at the cost of their own respect while she was disrespected all across...Relationships and and their strength is important than their own pride .Arnav registered that his happiness is Very important to them...What a lesson,could this be taught in any university.absolutely not...This valuable input will actually help Arnav in the long run.
PONDERING CONNECTED DOTS:Arnav's dialogue..."Jab mein chala jaaonga to sabke kaam aayega" [it will help everyone when I won't be here] ...That indicates separation [it supposed to be Khushi but we got him kidnapped] ... separation did make em realize how important they are to each other, how they complete each other, how they are two halves of one whole, two lives one soul.
Furious Khushi comes to her room and gets shocked to see the changes , She takes it as his giving her the piece of minf the same way she did in his room.She decides to give him a lesson of life to meet the realities.She pushes off the things in her anger and that shows how she is picking her hubby habits as Arnav does the same with her but her next move shows how deeply he rules her heart.She picks up all the towels and arranged them the way these were before . Regardless whatever he did to her , the tumult of emotions within her where her Arnavji is concerned is far more then anger or a need to get even.. beneath her irritation lies the root of her problem, LOVE of Arnavji.. she adores him even after what he has put her through.He is the owner of her HEART!!!
PONDERING CONNECTED DOTS with Symbolism:She told Arnav on Payesh Sangeet, "humare paas who hai jis keh rehte hum aap khabi nahin ban sakte, Use DIL kehte hain..."[I have heart and because of that I can't be like u]...Three towels...Three relationships.. Arnav & khushi, Akash & Payal, Anjali & Shyam...[Triquetra game]..One wrong act of hers will effect these ..It does effect during revelation of Shyam but she is the one who is putting things in order and indeed she is the one who brought peace in everyone's life but with Arnav by her side...
Khushi was so cute today even after threatening to teach him a lesson she remembered he was allergic to the mosquito coil and found another solution.. an aspect of concern , consideration layered with LOVE...Her core nature stays intact regardless she has changed in anger and frustration she would rather not look into at the moment..!!!
Lessons of life come with experience .
"So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains, and we never even know we have the key."The Eagles
The key is to pause and trace your own steps to look at each other at a different angle ..and that will make her to see , she has a hubby in a million who can do anything for her smile and He can see a rare and a pure diamond in his Khushi who can give her life for him ,for his peace of mind.
Just like the mosquito coil , their misunderstandings are coiling their brain wires to cut the light source and they are not seeing through this darkness.
PONDERING CONNECTED DOTS:The darkness took me to the "black out" of the day of Payal's first wedding where neighbors were accusing her the reason of this broken marriage and family taunted her in this matter.But the main culprit was ASR...but he became a "savior" and today Payal is happily married to Akash.Today again because of Arnav's AC , The power of the town is gone..."load has increased" LOVE this dialogue..indeed Shyam's evil darkness has increased and when Buahi said earlier " the walls are strong like them" meaning they have survived through Shyam's evil darkness...Babuji is alive and Khushi is safe and indeed the sun has to rise through this darkness and Arnav is a savior here too for ALL.
Pause here: Khushi will be stigmatized but the LOAD will be taken care of Arnav and later he does everything in his power to make her HIS..
goodnight to allthanks for pmwill try as much i can to replysoha where you not get your pm nowdaysi hope you are wellfor you allsorry not wanted to spoil your goodnight, sorry for this piece of scrap 😳
Episode 237
Thora khatta thora meetha thora theekha is today's episode. Delicious blend of happiness, laughter, heartache, tears, love..
Looks like the SUVs stolen parts have been found. As resourceful as ASR himself this Delhi police is! Immediately his mind flashes back to Mr Raizada hurtling accusations at the indignant Mrs Raizada. Turns to go in and looks upon a subdued buaji and aunty trying their best to buy some time. The man actually concedes to not bill them for last month given that damadji has come. But even he can't give them ration for today. What will they cook? The little money kept aside has been used up for damaadji's sumptuous Italian lunch. His actions have inadvertently caused hurt. His eyes downcast. This sensitive man has been too busy caught up in the love/hate play with his wife, but now this problem has his undivided attention. Our favourite resourceful problem solver stops the man outside and we don't get to know more for now.
the scene made me cry. In our country some people lead profligate life and some are so much in meagerness. But still they try so hard to please their son in law. Really hurts. I wonder how the Guptas are leading their life after Khushi's marriage, cause Khushi was the one who used to earn for the family.
The entire gupta family stands uncertain suspicious of all the sacks of food being brought it. Garima hesitant yet tries to reason out with damaadji. I really like how they show Garima to be the one handling him. yes she was shown as a very sensible woman. She calmed down buaji about the new AC, she refused to take the money from him yesterday and today she is the one who tries asking him what's going on bitwa? In answer , "Kyu main kyu nai kar sakta hun? Ghar ka dammad hun..". cute tone yet matter of fact. In hindi there is a phrase used to describe baal gopaals antics often "hat karna" ..hmm like adorable childish tantrums.. somehow that is what this feels like.. Wonderful smile by Garima. I adore this actress.
One thing is surreal that Arnav accepted that he is the son in law of the family. This really touched me. How can he say that this is just a contract marriage of six months and Khushi is not his wife.
No one can deny that bitwa has style and a very loving heart. He who supposedly hates their daughter, is from such a rich family that it is almost inconceivable to imagine him in this surrounding and yet he manages to do a thing millions of normal well intentioned son-in-laws find hard to do. Straightforward direct as usual is he. He gives them a right over him while establishing his bond with them. No longer the proud ruthless business tycoon he is simply an extremely good hearted son-in-law who wants to show his wife's family that they needn't treat him in this formal fashion. "Kuch bhi..bas achchi sehat wala khana nai..please aunty." That they should consider him a son. aww that was So cute of him. Never saw such side of him in RM. Khushi is getting out the real nice Arnav from shrwed ASR. He had once longingly asked Khushi if his mother was proud seeing him. And as this scene unfolds I can only think how proud she must be looking down from the stars.
This time I am not going to blame Khushi. She got carried away. This is the daughter who is excited that the man she loves is coming closer to her family. I know it is not even the slightest bit hinted at but at some level Khushi could have known that Arnav missed having a mother. So her insistence on him calling her amma. Nice thought. I also agree. Would have been nice. But it happens in real life too. In our excitement floating we rush headlong and then the sharp crash into reality.
The music increases in tempo.. "just shut up" he lashes out.. It has been a long long while since he has been this angry with her specially in front of an audience. Even the dreaded bath outside did not cause such an outburst. You can feel her heart break as his in turn is ripped apart in shreds. The concerned elders look on. Have they ever known how much hurt resides in their complicated angry damaadji? Amma speaks up sternly chastising her daughter. Buaji joins in. But it is not really because he is having a tough time settling into the Lakshminagar lifestyle. This is a far deeper festering wound. The suffering that he has subjected himself to for almost half his lifetime and definitely all of his adult life is kept painfully in check by Arnav. But there are some things that lay bare that agonizing chot. Clenching fist, breathing hard, extreme restlessness he throws open his laptop in an attempt to gain some control. He has hurt devi maiyya's murti in the process. All that anger..
very well written of Arnav's turbulence here. Khushi couldn't realize how painful it was for him to call somebody else, mom.
Khushi comes in sincerely apologetic. A woebegone expression portrayed by Sanaya. Closes the door behind her. Now she wants the conversation to be between them only. He is right Khushi has no idea what has been going on in this man's head. Somehow I always felt she instinctively knew him more when they did not even seem to have a single calm conversation. Oh those forlorn damp red eyes. "is ghatiya ghar mein" .. Fights! How they tear us apart.. Now her eyes are brimming with tears.. Arnav has frozen to an abrupt stop. Whose hurt is more? Who will win? Both have lost for now.. This speech that Khushi gives was enough if they wanted to show her getting him accustomed to middle class life. I still don't think he needed this lesson but if it had to to be given then these words were the best lesson possible. His scathing hurtful words had flung out in mindless pain. He bends his head in remorse. He is feeling really wretched. Barun once again manages to convey it all..
My POV is, Khushi didn't want him to get accustomed to the middle class life, but she just wanted to show him, the middle class people also were not cheap or ghatiya, they are also good human being.
The outburst on both sides was essential. All that pent up frustration, rage needed a vent. And we needed as much as Arnav to be reminded that Khushi has millions of reasons to be devastated, angry. Yet she smiles and takes care of his family. Cries while going away from them. Cares about them. Looks after them. No longer questions. It is natural that the woman has to make everyone in her husband's house a part of her family while a man can remain distant to his in laws. But this is not a regular marriage. It is a forced contract marriage. After all the ha ha he he of the previous days we now get this display of raw emotions. The gravity in this mess sinks in..
Khushi does not want to involve her family in the fight. Am very pleased with her decision. A husband wife is what they are and their trouble their very own. kisi ko janane ke zarurat nai jab wo akele hote hai wo kya karte hai ...
And they never did also. They hardly brought their family in their fight.
From all the high voltage drama we get a bit of respite. Mr and Mrs A looked pretty nice in the vibrant combination of turquoise blue and emrald green.
Whoever wrote the next scene did a perfect job of it. There is no melodrama. Very sweetly handled. This is the fourth time he is messing with their food plans! Earnestness in his apology. Overwhelming sincerity. Like the time he came to Payal and apologized. In a way I like it that Khushi isn't here. Her apology will come later in the form of those irresistible golgappe. This moment was for the orphan boy and his loving mothers. "Khushi ne jo kaha thik kaha". How clear hearted is he! To him this family is already his own. "Main kisi ko ma nai keh sakta"... He who never said sorry was letting them know of his deepest darkest fears. It is the more strict, more vocally hurt buaji who comes forward to lovingly cup his face, but amma also says wise words.."Aap jo humein bulao usse humara rishta toh nai badlega". Progressive and genuinely loving people in Gupta parivar as well. He looks awestruck. A glimmer of that smile. Relaxing of features. Relief...
Okay Okay I know whoever is reading this is skimming the last lines in eagerness to satisfy the hunger for something chatpata. A popular saying in hindi the way to a man's heart is through the stomach. Ingenuous Arnav has successfully applied the theory for his foodie wife. If khatta is titliya, teekha the angry rough ASR then definitely today is the day of the meetha buaji and amma.👏 So without further ado I give you..
The game plan of Mr Harvard himself... Board of directors under control? check. An offer she can't refuse sent out to the already suspicious owner? Check. Time to sit back with his adrak ki chai and wait. With such a mouth watering delectable merger offer Mrs Sankadevi is sorely tempted. Time to give in to the temptation and preview the terms. Oh what delicious terms! He allows his prey some moments of indulgence and just as he is ready to announce the first quarter statement declaring himself the winner... breaking news! Tables have turned and Mr ASR has been completely taken over by the new player in the market Mrs KKGSR. 😆
From the corporate world we move behind the scenes.. Who would have thought that a golgappa would turn out to be this potent an aphrodisiac.. He stands no chance against the allure of innocent rapture while his wife enjoys his delicious peace offering. Unaware of his dreamy expressions she raises her hand to wipe the trickling flavoursome pani.. If today morning Khushi could not look away now its Arnav's turn to be hopelessly mesmerized.. The Completely enamored husband just can't seem to resist and is hungry for a taste..
One of my favorite scene. and your sublime description made it more beautiful.
Oh yeah she was looking sensuous gulping those glogappas. How could the man resist, where he was always lattoo of her beauty!
New edits!!!

episode 236
"just get out, khushi, aur mujhe nahane do!"
i hear a lot of heroes with this hate ya madly or don't want you near me thing these days on tv, saying shut up get out, etc., in english too at times, but the deep dense intimacy asr brings to his ire, gussa, nafrat, irritation... not one does. some are downright ludicrous, some not too bad, but this thing... so much nuance, voice, eyes, body language, all so tuned to who asr is, what he feels, why he says what he says, how he is, what is essentially him, undeniable and one of a kind really. i am always grateful that i got to the tv screen one fine evening.
khushi is delaying him... so she can haul him out for a tubewell bath
i sat tight watching, i would examine the scenes i decided, but at one point it all got to me... i skipped... this is all wrong. the khushi i know would never do this to him, her revenge is taken her way... but in private. she has every reason to be completely hurt by him, and furious too. but to me, messing with his food is not khushi. khushi as who she is, that is. and this bath, well, definitely alien abduction.
having said that i have been thinking and going nuts. finally, reading from real life and my most flawed self... yes, under duress people do crazy things. crazy crazy things. khushi perhaps wanted him to feel insulted too, not just learn how the other half lives... yes we do stuff not "normal" at all... we err...
what was sorely missing was what we do after that. asr did it... but khushi never really did. she never ever thought through these thing. nor apologised.
again, i feel because audience is mainly female... there is a lot of "buttering" going on by mainline television. so while all our stories finally convert you to an "achhi bahu", and we have no place whatsoever in our lives for girls who are not married nor girls with ambition other than marriage... we try and keep you happy by saying you are "devi", you are flawless... you are too good...
you. are. never. wrong.
this is ridiculous. even dangerous.
so... asr, on behalf of khushi, may i please apologise to you for that unforgivable pull out onto the street. both amma and bua ji were horrified too. but the biggest sorry really for treating you like a moron... in your towel (and i love large white turkish tawliyas), with your eyes closed, you walked out of the house, down steps, onto the street, without even realising you were out in the open? no breeze on your beautiful skin so exposed for trp, no sound in your ear with those most devastating lobes, no sense in your head to calculate, o shatir one, that this can only be the road and that water from some well there? sorry sorry sorry...
and see, star plus, production house, writer... i am one of your most devoted female viewers of this show and i have survived being less than perfect and apologising when i realised my folly.
khushi would have too.
in fact, that would have made her truly wonderful... original. without that, she feels just cantankerous and unresolved, nutty but not cutely so.
"khushi, tum meri beizzati kar rahi ho..." he was so natural... khushi, you are insulting me before all... he said it as she explained to an onlooker that he was asr, the owner of... khushi gave him an sp achhi bahu lecture... but he was right... that is exactly what she was doing.
throwing khushi out on to the stone floor by the pool was not right. dropping her from his office floor was not right. taking him out for a tubewell bath, without his knowledge, was not right. all of them came as a result of some provocation... but as actions they were all galat.
achhi bahu talk, garib amir talk, smart writing about how in which case people of middle class come out and willingly get beizzat every day as they have no choice. none of it saved the scene. not even the most perfect naked torso. here, asr, take your brown shirt, wear it and devastate me with just the inflection in your voice... i don't need bare body flaunted.
"baat mat karo mujhse, i don't want to talk to you!" he was brusque, real, and he did look hurt...
he knows why khushi does what she does... but he is hurt by the extent to which this is being taken... he will say as much when in a vulnerable moment he will call gh ghatiya, a couple of episodes down.
izzat is key here.
to arnav singh raizada, that izzat of his is really all he had left when everything collapsed. he has worked very very hard to be respected. he was the son of a man who played with women and whose mother committed suicide because of that... imagine the gossip and curiosity around it. pays wit your sense of respect.
then his uncle threw them out onto the street, again showing great disrespect to them as people. ridiculing them.
clings to you these feelings of shame and failure, on the skin it sizzles... asr needs to be respected, even if he is not loved, for perhaps he has decided di's love is enough, but that respect?
crucial to him.
khushi plays with that. knowingly.
can we forgive everything in the name of sanka?
yet, strangely, despite his anger and hurt, he finally lets it pass. arnav singh raizada truly does get my respect for that.
he looks very very upset as he sits to work.
"of courrrse, no electricity... annnd no battery." man is angry. who wouldn't be.
"bijli aa gayi...!" the electricity is back, he runs to charge the phone. cute. "suniye, khana lag giya" khushi apprises him that they are ready to eat.
"no! phir se wahi bakwas tasteless khena..." no, again that bad tasteless food. he looks fragile...
a decision is made...
and buaji opens the door to receive the parcel she hasn't asked for...
a paanch hajaar/five thousand rupee bill, lovely how the two women try to pay it... because how can you ask the son in law to pay.
"shayad unhe khana accha nahin laga hoga na, iss liye manga liya hoga..." garima feels a pang in her heart, she has been cooking stuff she normally wouldn't and he has perhaps not liked it so he has ordered food...
they empty out the their bags and coffers to pay... that rupee by rupee add up, something so endearing there, they want to keep his izzat...
bua ji is natural, real as is amma. money from dibbe waley businness of kkgsr and bua ji's husband's pension money go toward paying the five star bill.
i am thinking, oh no, now what has this matter of fact man gone and done. didn't he learn from the ac incident?
and khushi is angry... no thought of the bruising of his self respect just a while ago. she knows arnav singh raizada can do awful things, hurt her folk. oh the layers of misunderstanding about each other these two have.
"arre khana aa gaya aapne mujhe bulaye tak nahin... paise aapne..." brown man appears, oh the food is here, why didn't you call me... the money... he reaches for wallet.
the ladies can't take money from him...
and a love for the people in khushi's life begins to grow here, to him they were elders whom he was supposed to respect... he tried to do that. the ac thing had told him he had hurt their pride and self respect though he had not meant to.
but bua ji's fussing and amma's gentle care had started a connection quite different. one of love, not just distant respect. just as khushi grew close to his fam, he is getting attached to hers.
... he is totally at a loss, they paid, he didn't mean them to and bua ji is all set to start cooler, "baitho bitwa baitho baitho..." such open happy loving, how can a boy who lost this touch of simple unaffected love all those years ago, not respond to this. "asr ke seene mein dil nahin hai..." asr doesn't have a heart in his breast, he had said long ago, nothing could be further from the truth.
the heart was always there... hurt, vulnerable, behind a protective fort of no faraq, and yet it wanted to be loved... asr simply disarmed, flows toward this clean love.
his "ji buaji," easy, gentle, so telling... he is feeling pretty awkward.
considering what khushi did... really the boy is nand kissore.
"arre, maine sabke liye mangwaya..."
he has got food not just for himself... for everyone.
beautiful beautiful scene... how much this arrogant unthinking man who cares not for middle class people who has to be taught so much has thought of each person.. the best he can...
instantly it registers with khushi. the music of their feelings wafts in. she is completely surprised and touched.
"yeh mushroom soup, ekdam mild hai... matlab halka hai, uncle ke liye..." mushroom soup easy and mild for babu ji, asr fishes out the pack and hands over... something so loving in the way he does it. matter of fact loving asr ishtyle.
khushi feelss all sorts of things, she had just assumed something... but no it wasn't so. and when was the last time someone got something specially for babu ji... he knows how much she loves him, is that why he thinks of the soup first, i wonder...
then the sweetest thing ever, for the wife who he is angry with and hurt by even... "aur yeh pasta red sauce, spicy hai... woh... khushi ko teekha khana accha lagta hai..." he has ordered a spicy pasta, because she likes hot food, the opposite of what he likes.
this very tender side of asr, always there. a complete contrast to his other side it is. i find this natural, life like. he is a full deep character, every trait of his has weight, nothing bland about him. and to spike and accent it, his particular brand of gussa.
"toh maine socha ki... khushi ko teekha pasand hai..." so i thought... khushi likes spicy... he sort of lets it hang in the air. khushi is close to tears.
she holds the box... i am thinking of that "tum kuch kha lena" day when he had handed her a box of food and she had been so touched though she didn't know why; bemused, she had sat staring at the food. and he had just wanted to give it to her himself, though ostensibly he was doing it to help di... that day they had warred constantly and he had been hurt by her describing him negatively to the kids and he had felt really bad for misjudging her, not replying to her call. he had also been grateful to her for what she'd done for di... of course, the ankh micholi playing with op had left him totally spun weirdly.. layers of feelings of so many kinds they always ignite in each other.
and today as well. it's not that simple ever. anger hurt tenderness hate laughter more, many things tie them to each other.
"yeh macaroni white sauce, aap ko achha lagega..." this white sauce with mac, you will like... he has got that for the two ladies.
bua ji and amma are terribly touched, a tad shy too, and they have no idea how to eat the stuff.
for this scene really, the episode sparkled with beauty. pretty rare this beauty.
the bad boy who doesn't know how to live the way they live, knows how to love the way they love it seemed. he watched them intently for a bit, saw his ma in law struggling with her fork, then showed her how to use it.
... this episode is really about these two and a boy... about a distant damad who became like a son, though he couldn't call anyone mother.
"aunty, isse aise khate hain..." aunty, it's eaten like this. asr solves, directs, talks straight, does what he thinks is right. never meant to hurt anyone... as he feels their love he seems to blossom...
khushi watches her fam being shown love by her husband, she is entranced by the happiness around the table, he brings it. he has watched her doing exactly this too at his place. the feelings these moments generate finally hold sway.. the bad nasty wretched feelings have to give way.
beautiful detailing by director of the two women warming to this overture by damad ji. bua ji is spectacular, ah those many expressions. music is mellifluous. feelings murmur, a family bonds, over small little gestures and looks, so much happening, very ipk.
he asks tentatively, "aap ko khana achha laga... " do you like the food? unbelievable... i am thinking. look what a bit of love from the heart does to this softie. he is not thrusting his taste down their throat, he wants to know if they like it; it's important, he wants to get it right and he wants them to enjoy the meal. the faux pas of last evening perhaps makes him want this even more.
i remember him watching with a moving smile as his whole fam gathered around shyam while he made jalebis, the day after teej. these things have always mattered to him, but he has chosen to watch from a distance... now, he is ready to close the distance, get involved, be part of it...
bua ji is totally smitten with her rude damad, she bursts out, "bahut achha haai... itna majaa aaya!" is's very good, really enjoyed...
amma gives a sweet gesture of approval.
and just as you think this is so lovely, the sugar is controlled. not good for a man with diabetes, after all.
and so mohan comes with news.
asr sees the suv. minus wheels, sitting on bricks. expression that was soft and puppy dog cute hardens instantly. what the goes all the way to "f".
"khushi, ek minute bahar aao..." coe out for a minute... he is tense but trying not to yell and scream before the family.
asr music is starting. war coming up... we are being conditioned and prepared.
and holding her hand he charges down the steps.
hmm, he is very angry, but no need to do that cheek thing in front of the whole world, asr.
"aap ki seat, ab aap kahan baithenge..." khushi's mouth opens, eyes go saucer like, hands come up to cover mouth. she is horrified. Only the shell of the suv remains, everything is gone.
"gadi ke spare parts kahan hai... abhi batao..." where are the spare parts, tell me now. he is harsh. can i blame him for thinking she is the culprit, given the last few days.
she is upset that he accuses her of stealing, but he "bloody well can" assume that because her brain can think that way... and neatly comes in the humiliating early moments of episode. if you can devise that public bath, you can do anything.
"sahi hai, tum mujhe pareshan karne ke liye kuch bhi kar sakti ho..." to hassle me, you can do anything.
and just as we saw at the head of episode, the mohalla slowly gathers around.
"humne kuch nahin kiya..." i've done nothing.
"agar nahin bhi kiya toh bhi galti tumharo hi..." if you haven't also, even then it is your fault.
divine senselessness.
yes, everything is khushi's fault. who told her to appear before him, fall into his arms, tremble those lips and go straight to someone's heart piercing right through that fortress wall, through each and every faraq nainn padta. yes, khuhi, it is your fault. exactly as once she had yelled, "sab aapki galti hai," so here... your fault. bas.
and a nice husband wife fight.
call police.
don't tell me what to do. i have already called.
good... then come and eat.
i wont go inside till spare parts come.
"theek hai, khade rahiye tab tak jab tak khud ke purze kharab na ho jaaye..." fine, keep standing, till your parts all stop working. teehee. um, what does that robbing of each car part mean? all his insides are stolen by this mad wife of his and getting spruced up nicely?
she tells him to calm down, neighbours watch.
"right, sab mujhe nahate hue dekh sakte hain, lekin chillate hue nahin!" right, everyone can watch me bathing but not shouting.
got to give it to the angry asr. he's got a point. shatir connection, my dear man.
girl storms in.
hot man leans against car, of course after banging it once. characteristically. aadat se majboor.
yeh shyam nahin mastani.
a quick mention of shyam ji the boringly evil. he is angry with the locksmith for taking time.
he loudly talks to no one in particular about "badiya mauka", great chance. something very unpolished in the way shyam is directed. unnecessary typical serialness. he was so interesting when it al started.
damad ji...
mama ji find shim here. he even sees the soap with the key impression. he comments this damad's ajeeb aadat... earlier he was there when the wire in the pool incident happened. yet he never connected anything. they simply disappeared him.
while one damad took big steps toward becoming a son, the other who always behaved like a son again showed his true colours. green and vicious.
