"What nahi pot"
Khushi walks into a heated situation where Nani is reprimanding Lavanya for misplacing the sacred Tulsi plant. Before she could handle the situation, Arnav walks in and she is unable to hear anything above her heartbeats. All she can see is an inaudible Arnav and all she can hear are her dhak-dhaks. Lavanya pulls Khushi out of her zoned out state and explains the situation in a hushed voice. She had mistakenly placed the Tulsi plant next to the pool and is now scared to confess it to Nani. So Chamkili comes up with a brilliant idea to blame it all on Arnav.
She then makes an elaborate show of explaining how it was an honest mistake and how Naniji & Devi Maiyya won't mind. When Arnav still doesn't seem to follow her plan, Khushi incessantly starts winking at him, trying to convey that he should get onboard with this plan. No one knows whether it was because ASR understood her game plan or was it just to make her stop the winking, that he finally takes the blame. The "pot" question is resolved, but the mystery behind Khushi's racing heartbeats still remain unsolved.
La(vanya) - La(kshmi)
We can describe La(vanya)'s relationship with Raizadas through another La(kshmi).
Lavanya was apprehensive at the beginning, mellowed down a bit in the middle and by the time she left, she completely embraced all the relationships.
Lavanya disliked Lakshmi at the beginning for more reasons than one. She even called the pet goat mutton.
To earn brownie points from Nani, she even went to an extent to look after Lakshmi. At the end she so lovingly carried before leaving for London.
Lavanya made us fall in love with her with her transformation.
"Tu hain meri fantasy!"
Khushi is disheartened after finding out that Nani, Anjali & Lavanya had tricked her into coming to Shantivan on the pretext of training Lavanya. When she starts to leave, they decide to placate her by doing the one thing they know Khushi herself would do for others - nautanki and lots of naanch-gaana. Thus starts the beginning of the epic Ooh la la song where all ladies present in Shantivan shake a leg in an attempt to earn Khushi's forgiveness.
Arnav who comes to investigate what the commotion is all about, is shocked to his very core; so much so that the phone slips from his hand as he watches on in utter shock the spectacle that's playing before him. The ladies finally manage to calm down Khushi who couldn't help but show some of her own moves. Khushi cannot really resist dancing on a bollywood song now, can she?!
Big sister Payal
Payal shared a special bond with Khushi. She trusted Khushi with the biggest decision of her life. She always knew when Khushi was sad, upset, happy or Sanki. How can she sit back and watch when great Arnav Singh Raizada brought an unconscious Khushi home late in the night?
She did not hesitate to question his intentions while telling him how his actions affected Khushi.
She was another Gupta girl who made Arnav speechless.
"Nanheji, aap bohot budhiya hain"
Nanheji and Khushiji hit it off right from the time they first met. Their friendship grew in leaps and bound in the days leading to Akash & Payal's wedding. NK's broken Hindi, and Khushi correcting him gave us some very entertaining moments, much to the chagrin of a certain green-eyed Raizada. One such incident is where NK tries to diffuse a hot situation between Madhubala & her 2 pupils - Naniji & Buaji. He wants to say "sab bohot badhiya hain" (everyone is absolutely great), but ends up saying "sab bohot budhiya hain" (everyone is very old).
Khushi manages to correct him before the situation could escalate, and then compliments him by saying "Nanheji, aap bohot budhiya hain!" (You are very old). This fun conversation even manages to elicit a chuckle out of Arnav who seemed to be in a perpetual bad mood during those days
Mamaji's One liners
Mamaji was a true gentleman, who loved his wife, mother, son, nephew and niece unconditionally.
Whenever he appeared on the screen, his one liners were to die for.
"Eee lo banat hai saas, aur khud ko samjat hai Khaas"
"Chaubees din ke liye hum bahar ka gaye, tum chaubees saal ke shaadi bhuladee?"
"Mujhe khamoshi pasand hain, jiske baare mein tumhe pata bhi nahi hoga"
Arnav cancels the sangeet planned for Akash & Payal's wedding citing the reason that he detests naanch-gaana & shor-sharaaba. He tells Khushi he likes khamoshi, a concept which is alien to her. Khushi takes this challenge personally and vows to show Mr. Raizada exactly how much she knows about silence. She gathers rest of the Raizadas...well, the ones who want the sangeet to take place, and comes up with an ingenious plan to give Arnav a taste of his own medicine. Led by Khushi Kumari Gupta, Nani, Mama-Mami, NK, Anjali and Hari Prakash take on the difficult task of staying mute in the face of a roaring Arnav. What ensues are some hilarious situations where a perplexed Arnav tries to understand why his otherwise sensible family has suddenly gone crazy.
Bonus :)
He eventually finds out the truth and realizes the futility of it all. So in the end, like every other harebrained scheme of Khushi, this too is successful, and with Arnav's permission everyone starts off to prepare for the sangeet.
Manju's love for Khushi
We all know Jalebi making is Khush's stress buster. But eating Jalebi is also a stress buster for Khushi. After dealing with Akadu Singh Raizada's unreasonable tasks the whole day, all Khushi can think of was some jalebi. Manju showed concern when Khushi was still at the office late in the night.
She even saved a packet of food for Khushi. When Manju offered the food, Khushi asked "Jalebi Nahi Hain"? Manju aunty rightly pointed out that "today is Khadwi sabji ka din hain".
The bond between them was so sweet!
"Hum ek Laad Governor ko sambhaal hi rahe hain, aaj teen-teen ko sambhalenge!"
What is Khushi if she is not sanki? And in her interaction with Sethi & Sethi brothers, she was at her sanki best! Arnav had lost his voice due to a mosquito repelling agarbatti that Khushi had lighted the night before. Whether or not it worked on the mosquitoes is questionable, but it definitely worked in silencing her Laad Governor (poor guy was allergic to it) So it was decided that Khushi will be Arnav's voice for the day when he deals with the Sethi brothers. At AR office, Khushi had come to know about the fraudster Sethi brothers when she overhears them talking about tricking the Raizadas. So while she waits for the police to arrive, Khushi decides to have some fun of her own.
With Arnav having no say in the conversation, quite literally(!), she talks unrestrained about her dabba service and how lucrative it is for them to invest in her business instead of AR. Arnav tries his best to do some damage control, but there is only so much he can do without his voice. Finally the police show up and arrest the conmen, making Arnav & Akash realize that Khushi just managed to save the day!
Akash's love confession
Akashji confessed his love to Payalji and how? He started with the Chunari, which Payal left at the shop because it was expensive. Then a bag of potatoes to share the love for the sabji. Third in the line was a thali which Payal used as a mirror and finally the Gold painted Diya.
He decorated the whole park with beautiful lights before getting Payal to the Park using Rishab's services. What a beautiful confession!
"Khushi ko toh main mana hi loonga, lekin aap kyon aise behave kar rahi hain?"
Arnav always shared a special relationship with Buaji. Whether it was sharing jokes over a cup of tea or helping her around the house during his infamous stay at Laxminagar, he had bonded with Buaji. So he obviously was on the edge when Buaji was mad at him for forgetting her beloved Titaliya's birthday, let alone not getting a present for Khushi. A chatty & demanding Buaji, he could deal with. But he had no idea how to please a vexed Buaji.
So in his determination to win Buaji's heart, he eats a mountain of puris & desi ghee ka halwa, something that's definitely a feat for him. By the end of it, he's in a terrible state...but he does end up winning Buaji's heart as planned
