The episode today was brilliant, a masterpiece, every actor played their role perfectly and it made for visual satisfaction. The roller coaster ride has finally started and we hope to see the rest of the episodes being just as good. Today our view will be about the episode like always but it will also be interlinked to each character and their past actions, behaviors and thought processes. Please do tell us what you think of this format, it’s not one we will do regularly, and in today’s piece, Shyam may possibly play a dominant part, like the CV’s we are still deciding.

No evil dooms us hopelessly except the evil we love, and desire to continue in, and make no effort to escape from. George Eliot

Shyam

Someone who decided that he wanted Khushi, his life’s mission was to get her, even if it meant having to betray, trick and go as far as killing. When we first saw Shyam, it was assumed that this man was obsessed with Khushi and that he had fallen in love. The undercurrents of something being wrong were there from the moment that he saved Khushi. Later on the links between him being Anjali’s husband began to increase and we came to know that this was a married man falling in love with an innocent girl, not realising that the girl he thought was beautiful and alluring could one day trump him in his own game.

He did not leave any stone unturned in getting to her, he tried in every way to enter her life, a part of him had realised that she had no interest in him, and Khushi’s dad had realised just how evil this guy was, however before her dad could take any action, Shyam had attempted to kill him. His first attempt being unsuccessful, he might have murdered him had it not been for the fact that her father had suffered a stroke. This ended up being a benefit for Shyam, as he could now use her dad to lure her into marrying him. He never let her realise that he liked her and exactly how obsessed he was with her. However, he did let her dad know that he could not let go of his wife because of his obsession with money, and at the same time he could not let go of Khushi because of his obsession (which he termed love) with her.

Overtime, we realised exactly how greedy he was for money, once he realised that Khushi was interested in Arnav and vice versa, it became his mission to destroy the relationship with them, he was unsuccessful until unfortunately, destiny played its hand in their life and he was able to manipulate the hug scene to his favour, planting the seed of doubt in Arnav ‘s mind.

Once Khushi was married to Arnav, his focus became destroying Arnav, as Arnav had taken all rights for him to have any share in Raziada inheritance. He got him kidnapped, but little did he realise that the one lady he was completely bowled over by, would play him at him own game.

Friday’s episode was a fascinating one to watch simply because his own game had been played on him. Watching closely, we saw how his brain began to work and he started to search for the papers that Khushi had got him to sign, lucky for Khushi, in her haste she had taken the will papers and left the divorce papers behind. Panicking he starts flipping through the draw and he comes across the look-a-like pendant, he now knows that he has been fooled. But it was interesting to note how he felt betrayed by her, he was unable to bear the fact that his love had been used again him, he remembers everything she had said to him, how she wanted to destroy Arnav, how she had tricked him with the Raksha daga and realised that the innocent beauty that he had wished to possess had fooled him. However, he fails to realise that this is exactly what he has done with everyone else, he has used everyone for his own benefits, but he believes the end justifies the means.

Shyam, how could you think that she would want to be nice to you? Why would you think that she owed you any loyalties? She never had any desire to be with you, even when she was engaged to you she was interested in Arnav. So on what basis did you assume that she would come running to you?

What is even more amusing, you were so desperate to possess her that you had no desire to think, for you, the fact that she had shown interest in you was enough.

Anyway, we then see Shyam give instructions to dirty fella and telling him to contact someone called Lallan and to burn the place down, HE WANTS ARNAV DEAD, and that is it. The guy has finally lost his cool, he usually always stuffs up when he is angry. Did you guys see how he closes his eyes and says burn him in such a way that it looks like a accident, does he not look like he is in too much pleasure? Sorry but that look really gave us the creeps, but I guess it is a kind of a sexual pleasure killing someone, the sickest villain’s do get such pleasures.

Dirty fella looks back at Arnav – poor guy can’t really tell Shyam that two guys have gone missing and that they might be next….would not really fare well in the slapping department would it now?

Finally in respect to Shyam, in today’s episode, we see Khushi trying to contact NK and Shyam snatches the phone from her. His anger with her is evident, he is furious with her for having betrayed him. He says to her that I must appreciate your bravery and your intelligence, that behind that innocent face there is a brain, such a big plan against me? He then says if I had known that behind this charm there is a cunning woman I would have loved you even more. But then if you just wanted a pretty face and a stupid woman, was Anjali not enough? Or do you for some reason like to think that you are the “boss” with innocent women who would rely on you for everything?

Shyam’s height of sickness is seen well here, the guy is still obsessed with her, for him getting the wealth is first, but now getting her along is just as important, one to show her, her place, two to possess her and three to get one up on Arnav by taking away his money and his wife. The guy refuses to let go of his obsession and will go to any lengths to get it. He accuses her of saying that she hated Arnav, that she wanted revenge he mimics her words in anger, he is hurt that she lied to him and that after all this month’s all her got were lies from her. He then says that had all these lies been and Khushi cuts him off. Funnily enough, we think he was about to say was, if you had joined hands with me and been with me then everything would have been fine, now that you have decided you would rather betray me, the consequences will be dire. Unfortunately we miss out on these words. (Khushi’s reply will be discussed under her name).

He further tries to tell her that it is not the money that made him do all of this but the love that he has for her. He tries to convince her that it is for her that he has behaved in such a manner and not for money. Finally he snaps and says to her, whilst twisting her arm and causing her pain, that the drama will begin now, that he would ha e finished off Arnav at the airport that day, the day he had taken him away from her, from right under her nose. He mocks her at this point. And he then says that if I had ended him then, this mission to save Arnav would never have happened, because you would not have been able to save him. He then again says that Arnav was fated 15 days of life and that only due to the will, but now the 15 days are over and I do not need to keep him alive, instead Arnav Singh Raizada will die in a tragic death.

Tacitus has said that “the lust for power, for dominating others, inflames the heart more than any other passion” using this quote and looking at Shyam what have we seen:

Anajali-Shyam relationship: he wanted her for the money, so he wormed his way into her heart, showing her the pretty picture that she wanted to see, making her feel she has fallen in love with him, the guy that really does not exist. To get his way with her, he would abuse her trust in him, manipulating situations to harm her, to cause confusion in her mind and to mislead her. For him she was his supply of money and his puppet to test. He dominated her by making her feel insecure, by creating dangerous situations that meant that she had to rely on him.

He finally began to attempt to kill her in order to gain his way to her wealth, and to use that very wealth to get Khushi and to fulfil his obsession to possess her. He never really romanced Anjali, and what little we saw left little to imagine, such a dull guy. Even if he were to be with Khushi, he would not have been able to keep her happy.

He used Anjali, but he was even willing to use the baby they had made to make it seem that he was sincere.

Arnav and Shyam: he told Arnav about love, how you know about the one. He had always had a friendly relationship with him, he made it seem like he loved Arnav’s sister to bits. However the minute he realised that his brother-in-law was falling for the one girl he obsessed after, the one girl that he had nearly killed for twice, once her father and the other time Anjali, he starts to make his move on Khushi. He was rejected by Khushi, however this worked to his advantage, when Arnav confronts him he manipulates saying that they both love each other a lot. Here begins the clash between Shyam and Arnav, unfortunately though, the CV’s never focused more on this, it would have been interesting to see these two fight it out, instead we never got to see anything along these lines which was a severe disappointment. All we saw was him manipulating Arnav day by day.

Khushi and Shyam: he met her and he fell for her. He did not think of reason, he did not think of his wife instead he thought he had to have her. He risked his beautiful, loving wife for a dream that really did not exist. He wanted Anjali’s money and Khushi’s love. He tricked her in every way possible. It would be nice to find out whether he really saved Khushi from the goons or whether he set them on her to make himself look good. He then meets her in the market, telling her to contact him for any help. He then manoeuvres his way into Khushi’s life through her Buaji. He then manipulates Buaji who then pressures Khushi to marry Shyam. She rejects him, but he manages to abuse the situation to his advantage. Over time he continues to harass her and she continues to accept the harassment, until finally Arnav is kidnapped and then his harassment takes on another level, as he believes that now that Arnav is out of the way, she will have to look at him.

“the head is always the dupe of the heart” La Rochefoucauld. He wanted Khushi, he waited for Khushi, and he believed he could have Khushi. It never occurred to him that Khushi would not ever love him, his mission became getting the wealth, getting rid of Arnav and possessing Khushi. It was her seduction trap that led to his heart duping his head. His head told him something was wrong, but his heart was craving for Khushi, he became emotionally involved and he gave up thinking, thus he head was duped into destroying his own plan.

too be continued....

coming up is Khushi....

Khushi

Sorry guys, we did think we would over do it and we did, there was a lot more to this, but we chopped parts out as soon as we realised just how lengthy it had become, so if you feel there are some things missing – there are!

“That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem of innocence inside you that makes you want to believe that there still exists a right and wrong, that decency will somehow triumph in the end” /PURPLE]lisa hand.

Khushi Kumari Gupta, a fresh, young vibrant girl. One that saw the world as a beautiful place and waited for her prince charming to come riding on the horse to collect her. Her parents died at a young age, but she was adopted by Shashiji and Garima, she was given love and attention and made to feel part of the family. Her vibrancy, her passion was evident where ever she went. She won hearts by simply being who she was. Had someone told her that her world would one day turn upside down, she would have laughed it off.

Her sister’s marriage became a problem as they wanted dowry, she was too collect the papers but managed to enter the fashion show. Here she fell into the arms of Arnav Singh Raizada, and from that day her life began to turn around. She fought him with all her strength, hating his ruthless attitude to life. Little did she know that over time she would fall in love with this guy.

Shyam saved her and she was grateful, however her feelings for him did not go beyond friendship. She had no interest in him, and too be honest we believe that she always had an aversion to him. He pursued her without her knowledge, as she was too focused on Arnav, who irritated her, annoyed her, angered her and attracted her. She gradually began to see the other side of him, the softer side, and the nice side! She knew that she had feelings for him that she could not understand, she wanted to keep them blocked away, however he chipped at her wall, without himself realising what he was doing.

She constantly fought a battle with him about wrong and right, nearly always proving that she was right. Gradually, in things that she realised she was wrong, she learnt that life was not the way she imagined it. Her innocence was reflected in both her face and in her actions. She was crazy and loveable. She taught Lavannya about relationships; she taught Arnav Singh Razida how to say sorry, how to love and how to care.

She realised she was falling for Arnav and Diwali night was a night where things might have gone to another level, if he had not tried to run from her and the love he feared would mess him up, his reaction was to get engaged to Lavannya. He broke her heart, but still she stood strong and fought her corner against him. She gave up the expectation to be with him and was forced by her Buaji to marry Shyam.

A part of her realised that she still did not want to be engaged to Shyam, she did not mention her engagement to anyone and continues about her ways. But, she loses her ring and finally she has to tell Arnav who begins his torture on her once again, he wants to know if “fadak pata hain” so he bullies her until he finally realises her is breaking her and backs off. However, just before her sister’s engagement was to take place, she found out who Shyam really was. She wished to tell Arnav, but stopped remembering his love for his sister. She did not fall for Shyam’s lies that she was the one, that Anjali did not treat him well, instead she rejected him and showed him only disgust. She wished to tell Anjali but realised she was too sensitive and would not take it well. This same girl, whose mother said not to say anything to anyone, went against her mother and went to talk to Anjali and realised that she could not hurt her, so returned home thinking she secured Anjali’s marriage and saved her sister’s marriage.

Over time Lavannya left and her battle with him continued, she finally won him during her sister’s wedding preparations, he gave in and supported her in the Teri Meri dance. She could not hold out against his advances and gave into him. They were at the brink of declaring their love to each other.

However, little did she know that in the sidelines, Shyam watched everything, he tried to keep the two lovers away, and finally decided he had to tell her that he loved her. We then saw the terrace hug take place.

Khushi wanted to tell Arnav everything she looked for him and was surprised by his anger towards her. Later he forced her to marry him and broke all her dreams. Even then she continued to love him whilst passionately wishing to hate him. After a few months she finally found out the truth, and a part of her died, a part of her innocence was finally eroded away.

She looked at this man that she loved with all her heart, the one she had tried so hard to hate, she realised that he still thought the worst of her. It then became her life’s mission to clear her name, she begged him to listen, to the extent that viewers got angry at how desperate she had become.

Finally her Arnav had gone missing, and she realised something was wrong, her investigations began and she got the shock of her life. Her husband had been kidnapped, Mami followed Khushi and also came to know the truth. Both of them then worked together to find out who was behind the kidnapping. She finally found out that the guy that had vulgar intentions towards her was behind her husband’s kidnapping. She went to have a go at him and ended up telling NK everything, who then became her support and back-up.

“The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.”

? Albert Einstein

Up to this point, Khushi had no threat from Shyam, she assumed that he was a pesky annoyance that would go away the longer she ignored it. Now that his full truth was out, she realised that it was not so easy, that she had to become like him to crush him and to get to her husband. She then began her game against Shyam, she knew she had to trample him by using his tricks against him. So she begins something she herself feels ashamed of, she begins to seduce Shyam into believing that she is falling in love with him. He tests her and she manages to win his test and finds her way to Arnav.

Mistakes she made:

- She wanted to protect Arnav and Anjali, that was her biggest mistake. She thought that ignoring the problem would make the problem go away, however it festered like an illness that waits to strike and finally things blew out of proportion.

- She did not tell her sister nor did she tell the rest of the family and instead decided she was well equipped to handle it.

- She never told Arnav, despite the many occasions that Shyam attempted to pursue her.

- Even after Arnav finds out the truth, she turned to Shyam for help, her biggest mistake to date. She knew this man had really messed up everything for her, yet in her desperation to prove her innocence, she managed to cause a bigger fiasco.

Some people say that the scales between Khushi and Arnav are balanced because of the kidnapping, we say its nowhere near. Khushi never meant to hurt him, also more importantly, Shyam would have found a way to kidnap and kill Arnav in one way or another.

- She taught us that something should never be done alone as things will really mess up

- She taught us not to make rash decisions that have long term consequences

Good things she did

- She taught Arnav love and how to express himself better

- She made him realise there is good in the world

- She taught La family values

- She taught him that relationships are important and play a valuable role in life.

- She showed us that resilience goes a long way, that giving up never helps.

- She showed how, when desperate measures are called for to help loved ones, you do whatever you can to save/help them.

Help from DM:

Dm has played an important role in her life, she has guided her to Arnav, she helped her to realise that she is in love with this man, despite his many faults. She made her realise what Shyam really was.

We saw Khushi apologise to DM for being angry with her, she asked her not to punish her husband because of her mistake. She never once thought that Arnav deserved it because of the way he punished her. She asked for DM’s help and she received it.

DM helped her to realise it was Shyam behind the Kidnapping, that he had something on the Pendant, DM made her realise that Shyam would not stop until she did something about it.

She asked DM to help her with the Raksha Dhaga, we never saw this, but we know that she must have asked her, so that is not used wrongly.

There are other instances as well, but finally yesterday she helped her save her husband’s life by giving her enough time to change the kerosene to water.

It is interesting to see that Khushi suffered so much at the hands of Arnav, yet when she found out that he was kidnapped due to her foolishness her guilt began killing her, she could not tolerate the idea that she had caused him so many problems, so she played the divorce card on Shyam.

“hope” is the things with feathers – That perches in the soul – And sings the tune without the words – And never stops – at all” Emily Dickinson

In the past two episodes we finally see Khushi have success, she has a rough idea of where Arnav might be and she and NK set off to find him.

NK and Khushi go to the restaurant and are informed by the kids at the restaurant that they deliver at two separate points, therefore from here NK says that they should both split up with one going to one restaurant and the other one to the other. NK warns Khushi to be careful and not to take any risks, mate your talking to Khushi, do you really think any of that went through her head? She agrees with you to appease you.

Khushi goes with the child who explains that he comes here to give food but they do not allow me to go inside, she says thanks and makes her entry, she keeps an eye out trying to work out what is happening. She makes her way slowly to the building that is there, but before she can get any closer and jeep comes in with the goons (Lallan and party) she is running and drops her bag which she then picks up. She watches them park the car and watches them go in. She tries to call NK but switches it off when she sees them come out. She watches them and recognises dirty fella who with the other guys takes out the big cans of something and place them down on the floor, she tries to work out what they are doing, her phone goes off and she switches it off quickly. They look around and then Lallan says ignore it and get this done. Interesting that they let it go, wonder if Shyam said he will deal with her? Otherwise they don’t seem the type not to investigate?

Whilst the goons are trying to work out how the kerosene got switched to water, Khushi is outside remembering how she did it.

We know some people are thinking how did she know how to change it, and are saying it is absolutely ridiculous the way they showed this. Well here is how:

When you know your husband is in danger, and you know that the very goons in front of you are the ones that kidnapped him, and when you know who is behind the whole plan, watching the goons bring out a bunch of cans is going to make anyone suspicious, especially when they will be taken inside. So our guess is, even though the CV’s did not show it, she must have opened it and smelled it. Realising what it was, she asked for DM’s help and took out all the kerosene and replaced it with water and thanked DM once again for her help.

She then phones NK to tell him she has found Arnav when the phone is snatched from her. She looks to see Shyam and is frightened when she sees him and a part of her must realise the danger she is now in. She listens to Shyam blurt out all his crap, and continues to realise how disgusting Shyam is. She finally replies to him saying that yes I did lie, yes I betrayed you because this is what you deserve and a disgusting person like you has no right to lift a finger on anyone else, what did you do all this for? A will, he tries to trick her and she says you did everything for money and property. She says nothing is more important than money to you that is why you got me to get Arnav to sign on those papers, what did you think I would watch the show? He then threatens her by saying that I will end Arnav, whilst holding her by twisting her arm behind her back.

She has made a stand against Arnav, the consequences will only be known next week. She has attempted to save her husband and it seems she has been successful. Now all that is left to see is how far she will go to save her husband and herself. She is definitely in danger, that much is evident from the pre-cap, we have to now see how much danger.

Today it is important to mention the colour of her clothes, she is wearing dark blue which represents knowledge, power, integrity, strength and seriousness. We have seen all of this in Khushi today, she has used her strength and the power of her intelligence to get to her husband. She has remained loyal to her husband and has shown integrity with her actions. We now hope that she is saved from being hurt too much, as seen in the promo she will be hurt we have to now wait and watch just how much injury she has.

Next up is Arnav Singh Raizada

Arnav

He knows what he wants and he knows how to get it. Up till now he has been a businessman and for him money speaks, whenever he wants something he chucks money and tells the person to do whatever he wants. He has fixed ideas. One day, he meets a girl that challenges him in every respect. He wants to hate her and does everything in his power to mistreat her. Yet from the time he saves her from the car hitting her, he has a guilty conscience, he tries to work out why after treating her like crap he feels so bad. Yet he ignores his own feelings, refuses to accept them.

He is incredibly attracted to her, and this can be seen when he sees her at the photo shoot and even later, whenever she is around him. He seems to find it hard to focus on anything else.

Strangely enough, he has sister who is just like Khushi, yet he finds it impossible to believe there can be someone as good as her. This could be due to his past where they have been dealt blows after blows, only time will tell us what it is that made him the way he is.

He continuously demeaned her by saying that she was poor and that all she worried about was money, even knowing that it was not true he was unable to stop himself. Even when she proved him wrong he tried his best to make her look bad.

He hurt her feelings when she tried to sympathise with him about her parents, only to after realise that she had also lost her parents. For the first time he had to practice how to apologise. It must have been a humbling experience for him, after much efforts he did manage to apologise in his own unique way (by accidently bruising her which led to another apology!).

Throughout all this, we realise that this guy clearly has gotten himself stuck in the past, and he is unable to tear himself away from it despite knowing how much he has wronged Khushi. As Virginia whoolf has said “Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by heart and his friends can only read the title” which leads to him continuously hurting her.

He tried to keep away from her but was unable to do so. She made him laugh for the first time after ages after she had refused to listen to what he had to say, and had afterwards realised being a diabetic he had come for something sweet as his sugar levels were low. She had whilst apologising to him smeared gram flour all over her face, making him laugh.

She ends up in his car to the Nanital trip and even there, when she tries to stop him from leaving, he punishes her forgetting that she is scared of the dark. He then takes care of her as he realises how wrong he was. He fights goons for her, unable to tolerate anyone touching his Khushi, but when she asks why he had behaved that way he tells her to get out of the car. (This is also something he did on many occasions). This leads to another guilt trip as she had to walk all the way home, and after when he reaches home realises from his sister that her dad is in hospital. When he reaches there she runs up and hugs him seeking comfort, which he is unable to give. The reason he could not give her comfort was that he was not used to doing so, but once he got home he felt guilty and he could not get over it. He tries to make up for it when he realises that she needs money to get her dads fees paid and they share a moment.

This leads up to Diwali night where they get closer and closer, to the point that he takes it as far as nearly kissing her. He then breaks her heart by deciding to get engaged to La, simply to run away from her and his feelings. He realises his mistake soon enough, but by then she is trying to avoid him and he hurts her by saying that a rich guy like him would never be interested in a poor girl like her.

After that he finally starts to accept that he cares for her but still wants the upper hand, he makes her bow down to him when she asks for her ring that she had lost and he had - before this scene, they had banged into each other and she had said she would not apologise, so he makes her do so. When she does, he realises that he has broken her and feels guilty as he had not expected her to do so. But that day was the worst day for him, she told him that she was engaged.

To punish her he brings his marriage forward as well, why? When he told her he wanted his marriage brought forward, and whether it made any difference to her, she had said the news made no difference to her. However, He could read her eyes, he could read her every emotion. His attitude became how dare she stand there and say it made no difference, he would show her how much difference it made to her, when everyday he made her do something to realise he was being hooked up with someone else, she wouldn’t be able to tolerate it. He would break so that she admitted that it made a difference, he wouldn’t rest till then.

However, he hurt her in various ways, one was the necklace set she liked, and he deliberately gave it to La right in front of her. But later after causing her further pain, he finally realised how much he had hurt her, when after saying he would pay for the lengha she had tried on because her fiancé could not afford it, she had sat crying because of his words.

Finally both of them respectively broke their engagements and they joined hands to bring Akash and Payal together. He at last gave in to his feelings in the Teri Meri dance, and had decided to declare his feelings on the day of his brother’s wedding. However his world shattered when he saw her hugging Shyam, the picture became lodged in his mind, he never asked for any explanation and punished her. He forcefully married her and then forced her to listen to everyone’s taunts and anger. She was not allowed home by Buaji and Garima. He made her sleep outside in the cold for days. He hurt her and abused her verbally. He continued to do so until finally she tries to commit suicide thinking he only married her due to some error in their Kundli, he finally tells her the truth. Even after this he does not listen to her, he refuses to believe her even as she begs.

On the day of the airport as he is leaving he finally admits that he loves her and cannot be without her, he makes the intention to go to her but is then kidnapped. He then, whilst held captive, thinks of her all the time, and finally she does come to save him. He realises that she does care for him and probably does love him and nearly goes as far as making love to her. He has now began to trust her and whilst he returns to the goons to save her from them, when he realises gifts are going to his house, he leaves her a message so that she can track him.

In terms of today’s episode:

The two goons come looking for the other two lost goons, unfortunately they cannot find them but do find a prowling Arnav, one that does not seem too fussed by them having entered the room. It is interesting to notice Arnav go from Ranjha Ranjha to the mighty ASR.

Dirty fella walks in and we finally realise the guy has a name, rocky – typical villain name huh? anyway these two guys are trying to work out where Rana and Manu (interesting goon names) have gone….wonder if they flew out to outer-space? Idiots, if Arnav said he will take action, should you not deal with this problem?

Dirty fella and co take Lallan to Arnav. We see Lallan walk up to Arnav, who gets up on seeing him. Lallan asks where Manu and Rana are, do you know where they are? Arnav replies if I meet them then I will let you know. At his, Lallan grabs him by the shoulder, Arnav looks him in the eye, and from the top a bloody hand of the goon falls down. On seeing it, Lallan looks back into Arnav’s eyes. He can see Arnav is fearless. The other guys say the goon that is unconscious needs to be taken to hospital. Lallan tells the others lets go. Arnav wonder why he left without any reaction and without saying anything?

The goons walk back in and start to chuck liquid on Arnav who stands there absolutely confused. He stands looking at them whilst they keep chucking all this liquid on him, he finally smells it and is even more confused. He watches Lallan take out matches with an amused expression, Lallan lights the match and throws it on him, and nothing happens, the matches fall to the floor and fizzes out. At this point the look on Arnav’s face is wicked; he is completely amused, like he will burst out laughing. Lallan smacks one of the goons and asks how come there is water in the can? He calls them idiots and says that it should have contained kerosene. At this point it is interesting to see Arnav’s expression, it is like his mind is working and he has already worked out who might be behind it. He continues to listen to them.

Dirty fella stammers that he will check, Lallan says check and find out who did it and how. Dirty fella says I cannot understand who did it, I checked the cans myself, someone must have switched them. How many of you guys were smiling at this point? We were!

We bet Arnav ji remembered how she had drained the petrol from his car, being a car expert and all. We saw his chest expand ten times its normal size as he stood there proud of his wife and utters only five words “Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada” this had to be the best bit of the whole episode, as we could see his faith and trust in her for the first time and also the fact that he was so utterly proud of her. We see Arnav think to himself why has she come there, personally we thought, what the???? I mean you know that you sent her a message so why the confusion? He hopes that she did not come alone, that she is with someone, but then thinks if she is around then I can’t stay here anymore and decides to fight the goons, he deliberately instigates Lallan saying that what happened? It was water? Your plan messed up? He then fights him, when the gun drops Arnav kicks it out of the way to get a better chance of fighting.

It was good to see ASR back in action, although it still seems to filmy! The other thing that is bugging us to no end is that has he or has he not made the link with the two Shyam’s? It is really irritating that they did not show him picking up on all these things, Anyone with a sane mind, after having all that time to think, would realise that Khushi is innocent, here are points for the poor sod to consider:

- After guesthouse scene, when he saved her and she fainted, he brought her home, as he was leaving Payal was saying how she would call Shyam ji, he stopped at the door – TING TING hope you remember that Arnav

- When everyone was told about the engagement, his name was said, she never tried to hide anything from anyone

- It was evident she was incredibly unhappy with the marriage and that she was uncomfortable about the whole situation

- When she ran in shock and bumped into him, she was panicked and really upset and emotional, he wanted to know what was wrong with her, was really protective of her, he also knew her fiancé had done something to her, albeit he thought it was something else, he knew, something had been done to hurt her.

- When she broke the engagement, although she never said at the time that it was her who broke the eng she did at that party, where he insulted her about her broken eng she said that only she knew how much her family had been hurt – once again TING TING something must have happened from the fiancé’s side

What we would like to see:

- If Arnav heard the conversation between Khushi and Shyam, then I think we deserve to have Khushi be angry with him and for Arnav to woo her.

- However, if he believes her without hearing the conversation, we just want lots of romance and a really guilty conscience of his!

Finally Anjali – sorry guys this one might be short due to time restraints!

Anjali

She was portrayed as an innocent loving wife, who cared a lot both for her brother and for her husband. For a little while we wondered whether it was a cover up to a more ruthless person, but no, she truly was this way. Even when Khushi came into the picture she took on a role of the big sister. She cannot see the bad side of anyone and prefers to think that the world is good. She has every faith in her husband and here lies the problem.

A sweet girl who seems to love staying a dream world, blocked off from reality, She seems desperate on keeping her hubby happy, she is constantly suspicious of any bad things happening, glass breaking, manglesutre dropping, doing various pooja’s and vrats etc. Whatever happened in Anjali’ s and Arnav’s life, has impacted them both in a completely different way. Arnav is now changing, and we do believe that over time we will see Anjali maybe hit the wall and go crazy and get better or be angry and get better, one way or another we always thought something will happen to make her come out of her little dream world. But a part of us also wonders, can we blame her for being so pathetic? she had a crap life and there are women still out there that keep themselves locked up in a world that really does not exist. A shame really, but it happens.

Even when she picks up on signs that something is not right with her husband, she prefers to ignore the problem rather than tackle it however, the past 2 episodes have really made her hit reality at full force.

Friday’s episode

Never seen someone so hell bent on being in denial. Mami is focused on having her niece believe that her husband is a lying cheat and has joined hands with Khushi. Mami is begging her to believe her whilst Anjali keeps saying whatever you saw was wrong, you have misunderstood. She then says you are suspicious and wrong, I will phone him and everything will be clear.

She tries his phone over and over and finally the panic is settling in, her husband is not answering the phone. The longer she tries the more she is starting to panic, for her it’s the worst moment of her life.

She then continues to try and phone Khushi and is shocked when even she does not answer the phone. Mami tries to calm her and she shouts how can I be calm when he does not answer my phone? I do not understand what is going on and Khushi is also rejecting my calls. Mami tries to get her to sit and have water.

To be honest Khushi and Shyam not answering the phone does not clear up anything, it just tells her that they are not answering the phone, they do not know what the truth is and Mami has messed up completely. She should of at least have gone to NK to warn him before going to Anjali.

Anjali says all this is nonsense, it is all a lie and cries as she is distraught. Mami says talk to son-in-law, she says how can I when neither of them are answering the phone? Payal comes and asks Di what is wrong. Anjali panicked and hyper asks Payal to tell Mami that she is wrong that nothing like this has happened. Payal tries to calm Anjali down, Payal asks her what the matter is, she tries to stammer out Khushi and Shyam having a affair and is disgusted, but seeing the look on Payals face she pauses, Payal’s tray falls and this tells Anjali that it is the truth, unable to bear the truth she drops to the floor (or faints?)

Its going to be tough for her, she believed this guy was at the same level as God, just because he had married her after she had been rejected by someone else, she had always been grateful to him. She had made an idol out of him and trusted him completely. For her, he could never do any wrong and now she will realise that he is the biggest creep ever! We do hope that she does not misunderstand Khushi for long, as her relationship with her was sweet. But no one knows what the effect of betrayal can have, even though Khushi did nothing, she could still blame her for entering his life. Some women find it easier to blame the other woman then the husband, even when the other woman is innocent.

sorry guys this one was really short!!!!

See you guys tonight!
