Indi,
I can never understand this country specific content copyrights. Great to know you get the full episodes on Star player there. I am surprised that it wouldn't let you download. Becos I remember when the show was on, some people did download from there.Here the full episodes are long gone, since the show's closure. Only a few random 4/5 min bits are available here and there. If the scene I am looking for happens to be available I used it. Now even they are gone.Thanks for watching the vm. Oh I did feel most of the times she wanted him to succeed in what he was wanting... as a reflex reaction.. khushi's own fight between her dil and dimaag.. to be or not to be with her rajkumar...
Funny really. In my line of work, we talk a lot about access. Some weeks back this professor of mine (a crazy chick, Dr. M, might have some snarky comment if she were to read this!) talked about the big brother scenario and this ad in that context. She even pulled it from YT for us to watch! Apparently nowadays if you pay more, you can get access to the deep web, which is otherwise not accessible! I was talking this morning about the changing of history/syllabus depending on who is in power (ok time to zip your mouth, missy, before you start off on your pulpit pounding). This whole pulling off stuff, copyright infringement notices, its time to rethink things in this totally networked world that we live in now. Indi di, I'm feeling envious that you can watch epis!π
Wiwy,
The song choice was by Inspired as I said. Most of the memorable songs if not all suit them, and dangerously once watched on these two, don't feel like watching the original.. intoxication much.. haha.. Thanks for watching.Kate,thank you much for watching even with no subtitles.wanted to ask, what was the language of the script in the episode links you are posting.. thai?

Episode 300
Blinded
Don't you love receiving gifts on your birthday?
All wrapped in shiny green paper and placed so nicely on the middle of the bed.
She must see it now.
What the?
She walks past it AGAIN and he has had ENOUGH!
He grabs it and in his gussa says to her as she walks in, "see it, it's for you, take it!" She doesn't want it. Khushi is behaving quite childish right now. Bas, Khushi, bas. We know you just wanted a simple wish. We know you didn't consider the 2 lakh bag a gift personally from him.
But..
What about the cake? He personally ordered.
What about the fairy lights? He carefully placed.
And now?
The beautifully shiny green wrapped present laying in the middle of the bed that is now in his angry hands.
Come on Khushi!
She has been blinded.
Take it he says. She takes it and opens it without even a care. Hurtful. He looks on with a slight grin on his face; I sense he is proud of himself. And she hands it back, "I don't want it." Hurtful again. Now don't misunderstand me, I understand with my whole heart her hurt. He has hurt her many times but sometimes you got to give in when you know how hard it is for him. He had ordered it to her specifications, specially made for her in the color that he loves to see her in. And she doesn't want it.
He asks her almost desperately, why, Khushi, why? His frustration has brought his inner ASR out. He aggressively walks forward and the usual dance takes place, she moves backwards as he is angrily asking her why and says he has left her no other option than to accept. He has followed all that she has requested, he made the call, he picked the sari and the color and now she doesn't want it, he asks angrily. She has been backed up to another wall yet again and he remembers NK's words to speak lovingly. He reiterates what he has said in a softer tone and then asks her to wear it because he wants to see her in the sari. He backs away handing her the dress, head down like a puppy that has surrendered to his master. It was quite sweet and I loved to see our very vulnerable and in love hero.
I nearly fell off my chair when she said she wouldn't wear it. He asks her why? Why won't she wear it and why won't she smile? He questions her and sternly asks her to look at him when he talks with her, his pet peeve. She knows better but even now she can't seem to look into his eyes. Neither of them can. Why? What has happened? Why all this hidden pain?
He can buy her anything but not a smile. The sari gets thrown to the side and he walks out. Sometimes, the depth of hurt that has been portrayed in this show by both our characters surprises me, each one's hurt justified, although sometimes misguided and misinterpreted.
Angrily Arnav enters NK's room blaming him for the advice he gave. It didn't work and if NK says relax and take a breath one more time this angry young man that is now in his ASR mode will remove his breaths! He has tried so much and he is upset! He asked Nani to make her favorite meal and she didn't even eat it. He bought her a sari personally and she didn't even wear it. Arnav has tried to make her happy and smile but nothing and he is so frustrated! NK has an idea and he furiously says he doesn't want anymore of his ideas he will do it himself and walks out the door.
We come to the point in the show where Khushi is talking with her confidante DM. Now we will learn what is behind her bizarre behavior. It seems that Khushi feels that everything that has happened is her fault. Her Di is upset with her, and she feels she has caused the problem between her jiji and jijaji, so how can she be happy? She continues that she isn't upset with Arnav... fooled me! But with everything that happened and what he said how can she forget? Something must be done.
Akash has come home and Khushi is there with his water. What is going through this SankaDevi's mind? She Makes small talk and then suggests that since he has worked so hard since Atnav was away that maybe Payal and him should take a small getaway. Akash leaves there and angrily walks in his room, okay so here is when I get angry. He is angry at Payal for what Khushi did and he is still angry at Payal for keeping everything a secret from him. I know he is hurt because she did not share this information but didn't both sisters stay quiet for the sake of the family? I think they were stupid to withhold this information but then there wouldn't be a story. very complicated state of affairs di. though i do think one should not meddle in a husband wife's fight.
Now Payal is upset with her sister for interfering in her marital affairs and although Khushi thinks her idea was great her sister asks her to stay out of her relationship with her husband further pushing Khushi to a state of unhappiness and guilt.
Nani and Anjali are having a nice moment with Nani combing Anjali's hair. Nani says that when she was pregnant her plait was so thick indicating she was going to have a girl. Anjali says no, she wants a son just like Shyam. Man, I didn't remember this,; I only remember her wanting a Rajkumari. Interesting, since Shyam is gone, the child should be a boy to remind her of his father. Oh, how she idolizes him! She cries on Naniji's shoulder, not understanding what has happened, how it happened? She thinks Arnav must be wrong her husband could never do those things. Oh wait Anjali for worse things to come and yes take another pill during your pregnancy!
The next scene was one of my favorites. Arnav is coming down the stairs thinking about all that has happened with Khushi and Khushi is at the other end of the room thinking all that has happened with her sister and Arnav. They are on either end of the room. They slowly walk up to each other, reminds me of a duel at the OK Corral, slowly walking to each other not knowing who is going to draw their pistol first but he turns as he gets close to her seeing her eyes saddened, Dammit! He mutters. Her hurt too much for him to bear and she too turns but she mutters that even she doesn't want to look at him. Both of them turn and Arnav bumps into NK and she bumps into Payal. They are both scolded but NK realizs that he has been looking at Khushi and says to him love is blind. Arnav grabs his computer bag and goes back up the stairs. (That was kind of weird I thought he would go out the door, where was he going anyway? Another Shantivan puzzle)hahaha
Khushi has just been scolded by her sister and thinks she must do something now.
NK and Arnav are in Arnav's room. It is funny how NK sees the pair as falling in love and even though they are maybe the two just don't see it right now. Afterall, we have only had the "Khushi, I love you" phone call but not the "Because, I love you dammit!" Even that confuses me. I guess Arnav is still figuring out how to express his love for her and how to keep her happy since his outburst and reminder of the contract. Nk is rambling to Arnav trying to figure a plan of winning Khushi over, as well as giving him the facts of Arnav and Khushi's relationship that points to love. He says the great Arnav Singh Raizada has fallen to his knees from his love. NK asks Arnav to recreate all the memories in which they had fallen in love and he asks Arnav to tell him about them. Well Cynthia di i thought he already clearly knew he was in love and was doing everything for this love..to make her happy..
Arnav remembers his meeting with Khushi, his eyes glaze with the memory of a mesmerizing beauty in his arms as she fell from the runway, her lips lusciously pink, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment and the memory of the anger he felt at this beauty who was trying to destroy his show. Conflicted he was, angry for this conspiracy but moved at the same time by this beauty. He held her against his body, which became hard as steel, threatening her with his batameezi attitude breaking her pearl dori...she entranced him. His look far away to a time of nafrat, gussa and enthrallment... lovely paragraph
NK shouts, "That's it! That look!!!"
Arnav looks at him like he's mad.
NK asks him to tell their love story.
He begins...
She fell in his arms during his runway show and he locked her in a room and he was responsible for Payal's wedding breaking and he was responsible for having the footage of her in his arms played on every channel, over and over again. And then she came to work for him and he caught her as she almost fell and they argued and he let go of her and she fell from his office window and then he put her in the rain parking cars and when she didn't give in he sent her to a building that was just about to collapse. He made her life so difficult...
STOP!!!! NK screams. Stop, Pause, he says it's you Arnav so it figures. But Khushi, lovely Khushi she must have some romantic moments with you.
He starts with," she calls me Laad Govenor. She threw scalding hot tea at me, she came at me with a knife, she lit a mosquito coil and I couldn't speak for days. She kept me hungry and I fainted..."
"WAIT!!! I asked you for romantic moments, a love story and all you tell me is horror and thrill."
He asks G-d to help him and runs away.
Arnav is left with a silly grin on his face as he thinks of his crazy, zany Kushi and the madness that ensues around her. All of a sudden the light bulb goes off, that's it, he will relive their old moments!
* I named this episode Blinded for a number of reasons. Khushi has been blinded by the events that have happened and so she is not appreciating his love. She has taken all the blame for everything and is blind to the fact that others are involved too. Akash has been blinded by those same events and his feelings have been hurt; has he forgotten his love for Payal? Anjali has been blinded to Shyam's truth. Arnav has been blindsided by his love for Khushi by all the events leading up to their contract marriage and now he wants to fight for her. NK says you are all blinded by these crazy things that you do to each other you just love each other and the great ASR has fallen to his knees for this crazy girl!
episode 300
ab dikh raha hai? can you see it now?
tumhare liye hai. it's for you.
hume nahin chah-. i don't wan-
khushi, yeh tumhare liye hai. khushi, this is for you.
teeth gritted by now.
he has bought her a gift, chosen it himself, had it wrapped, everything done the way she said she wanted it... but she doesn't want.
he even tries to control his temper but she is adamant. he leaves. he is angry. and is he hurt? does anyone care? am raving mad at Khushi. Atleast a litttllle care Indi di. And why in the world did she not explain that she is still sad about everything?
another meaningless dialogue about him trying to buy a smile. is that what khushi reads? is this our vishwas girl? where is the writer, has he too lost something money can't buy?
and what's with this friction that is beginning to tear asunder instead of lighting a fire. ipk was about essential man woman friction, that which causes conflagration. in which both are willing to scorch and burn and plunge in, finally letting their egos turn to ash and meld forever. egggjactly.. they have never always been sweet and nor has the journey been smooth.. but they have never been able to not react to the other.. not stay part.. and definitely not melt at the slightest tenderness shown by the other..
oh that sweet half smile when she starts unwrapping the gift.
humey ye nahin chaiye... i don't what it, she said again.
but why? he was flummoxed and asked a very logical question.
khushi, tum isse mana nahin kar sakti... khushi, you can't refuse this. what did he put in his voice just there?
pehno isse. wear it. now in full asr mode again, do as i say asr, hot exciting, demanding, maddening asr... don't tell me she didn't want to instantly fling her arms around him and...
the man who loved her as she was... don't change a thing for me... tried to change himself for her. tried to go gentler, do things her way. but she never saw that.
alas nothing felt real about this moment.
aisa kya ho gaya ki tum smile bhi nahin kar sakti? what has happened that's so bad that you can't even smile once?
when a beast loves he is sweeter than a prince, but we chase a prince we cook up in our heads and never can let go of.
maybe we like to push him to being a beast again.
asr went to nk and raved, enraged by the way khushi had spoken to him.. itna gussa aa raha hai, i am getting so angry...
gussa through clenched teeth, tears in my eyes, yes yes asr, come back... be you. anyway, no chance of winning anyone over till you become unrecognisable. oh the pressure to change, never be you. and all you did was rave rant scream shout then fell hopelessly utterly in love... didn't khushi? of course, she did.
would the khushi you knew want to change you? she who would invite you to yell scream... never back down and always sense you with funny instincts?
if you're worried, relax... your word.
this is just the achchi bahu monster taking her over. but, some day, somewhere, she will be back... even if not consistently, but in memorable patches...so hang in there and keep the anger.
he threatens to hamesha ke liye end nk's saansey...
but my saansey are almost ceasing at what the girl with a voice even i can't recognise any more is saying.
yeh sab baat ka koi matlab nahin, all this means nothing. really, why?
because di is angry, mami ji isn't happy with her, jiji aur jija ji ke beech anban chal rahi hai, sister and bro in law are a-bicker, toh phir hum khush kaise ho sakte hain... then how can i be happy.
er, says very puzzled viewer, where is the connection.
i am missing something here... so it's okay to be cruel to the man who is trying everything to please you for not understanding this?
aside: many girls are brought uop to believe to think of yourself, is a selfish thing. many boys are too. but i know in my culture a girl is practically trained to believe it is good and beautiful to think of others but never of yourself. in fact, if you show any signs of liking let's say, jewellery, sarees, things, if you wanted to have someone make you happy, you were sort of shallow and not really it. eternally grateful to writers for the character of mami... not in too many shos will you find such a character being endowed with any positive traits, but here mami was loved, and people sensed the good in her, her fierce love for her fam was deadly. it even beat her camoy crazy taste. and she was lazy, yet nani loved her.. ah that felt so good. because all the time women are presented as objects of utility... there to take care of things, be useful. mami chose to be useful in some ways... and not. no one loved her klless or judged her because of that. but back to khushi, when you are always tytod to think of others, you possibly don't even know which desire of yours is validm, which is a sign of selfishness... no practice in examining your own needs... so in a way i get her mixed up state. and i so liked how asr kept asking her to be happy, exercise her right over him... there was scope for a stunning journey within khushi going all the way to understanding what her place in her own life was... thanks to thsi beautiful love she felt. just as she made him get in touch with his sealed off eart, brought light and hope and desit=re for soemthing for himself back to him, he cou=ld have n]been the catalyst in her life too. the initial khsuhi in fact had even streaks of a feminist i thought, and asr had practically no gender bias... butthe whoel panbdering to television fare's achchi bahu imperative messed things up.
i thought she was angry with him... okay got it. but no. this is acchhi bahu, never does anything for herself, has no personal needs, all is done for others, mahanta attack. but even then, how is it his fault? if that is the case, that you can't be happy while all are not, why not tell him that? maybe he will get it? how is rejecting and hurting him making things better? what thinking is this.
aur hum arnav ji se naaraz bhi nahin hai. and i am not even angry with arnav ji. huh? okay i need to go...
but wait... what's this? hum woh sab kaise bhool sakte hain? how can i forget all that.
so, khushi, take a lambi saans and tell me, are you upset with asr... or not?
are you sad only because the whole family is not in a very happy state? or are you also sad because arnav ji was so brutal and unthinking? please can you take out that little toy heart your writer has put in you and kiss it once, so it can become a real heart... and then tell me what you feel?
kuch cheezen kabhi badal nahin sakte lekin kuch cheeszen toh badli jaa sakti hai na. some things can't be changed, but some things can be changed, isn't it? hahaha I have absolutely no idea what she was saying. perhaps the writers thought they can just confuse the viewer,
if anyone understood that, do explain to me... what miserable waffling in the name of writing.
and now khushi is busy interfering in everyone's life to make them happy. only asr's happiness is of no value. lovely.
she is talking of akash going on a honeymoon in the middle of all this? while she can't even be happy with her husband's celebration of her bday?
how sensible and sensitive... this time i understand akash's irritation. that whole thing was utterly insensitive and stupid. in the middle of all this was she crazy to suggest they go off galivanting on a honemoon?
he and payal argue, he refers to khushi minus ji. a fabulous opportunity to show khushi can make mistakes and she needs to grow up, realise...
i liked payal's mat karo, khushi, ab aur kuch mat karo. don't do anything, khushi, nothing more.
i noticed it was all about khushi's hum. me.
hum chahte hai... i want.
khushi is so stuck on her chah, her desire... again, something to look at.
suddenly anjali wants a beta bilkul like her shyam ji, a son exactly like shyam ji. kaun galat, galati kiski hai aur sach kya hai... who is wrong, what is true. this search for the truth and talk of it, i always found intriguing in ipk. ironically, it touched the ad of ipk too... what was the sach behind the shut down, what was the sach behind barun's departure, what was the sach of the original story... ultimately all that mattered was our pyaar... and we stayed, perhaps bigger than vishwas was pyaar. nah, not perhaps, it was.
poor nani. i do feel for this character and jayashree t was marvellous at being nani. a strong woman who was firm in her beliefs and principles, who had seen much and who loved deeply, she had taken the responsibility of keeping her family together no matter what... and even now, she had to tend, had to bear... had to be there. again, who took care of her? nani and grandson pay the price the strong often do. no one realises how much they yearn to be loved and cosseted too... maybe that's why lakshmi ji hadcto be there? so so precious to nani. a seemingly funny choice, the incongruity of lakshmi ji always a cause of mirth, a comic thing to this choice of pet no doubt, but a perfect fit, because she spoke of a character, shaded her. nani loved her, and felt her pets love for her.
acene at the great huge siting room where so much happenes, how often we have seen them here in many different frames of mind and state of awareness. the scenes from the day he married her in my head... he had grasped her hand somewhere near that spot where two chairs sit now. today they approach each other in the middle of a situation that neither can quite get a grip on.
asr sees khushi looking down and sad. he turns away with a dammit, still mad at her. she too looks away, humey bhi unhen nahin dekhna... i don't want to see him either. they both dash into people. and that mirroring we see in ipk often gets going.
nannav, yeh jo love hai na, it's fully blind. nk says that thing which has been oft repeated in the annals of pyaar... love is blind.
yes, it is. you can only love, in your way, to the extent you can... and if you happen to be the one that loves more, you will be a tad more helpless before that love. will that make you lose ultimately? i don't think there is any winning or losing involved in this thing. sometimes, there isn't even much joy... as now... but there it is. asr is angry with her insentivity, yet can't help but look at her.
wise nk says, you can get really mad, but yeh jo lau hai na mere bhai, iss lau ka tum kuchh nahin kar sakte. you know... this love, you can do nothing about this thing.
asr complains that khushi drives him mad, now nk. but the moment nk speaks of romantic moments... he does get lost in them.
the fall, the ripping of a dori, the pearls..
ya, dekha dekha yaad karte hi tumhare chehre pe kaisa romantic look aa gaya... see, the moment you recalled such aromantic look came over your face, nk said smugly.
i loved a thinking man, rational being's "excuse me?"
and then he spoke of her dreamily, of all the horrible things that happened. great use of contrapuntal scenario/dialogue and emotion.
nk is horrified... is this a love story?
ha, my man likes that... energy and determination rushing back.
nk leaves, asr is in loopy happy khushi thoughts.
"pagalpan aur madness toh hai, jahan khushi ho wahan pagalpan aur madness toh hona hi hai..." there's insanity and madness, but where there's khushi ther has to be insanity and madness.
didn't quite like that. too too too pat. episodes back, that "pagal" after the success of the getting payal to admit her love for akash, or the pagal of holi, or the pagal hai par cute hai... they were all lovely. this one was asr with artificial sweeteners. not good in ad, not good in skd. yeaa I wrote that too.. a nice missed kiss from me to you just for feeling the same.
okay, he has hit upon an idea to get her back to her smile... that's it! purane moments.
