But I wasn't so disappointed ... because as I was discussing with a friend, I felt it was WAYYY too soon for EITHER Arnav's past to emerge OR for any major track change ... the show has been on air for barely a month ... Not nearly long enough to have any major track changes ... the main tracks have barely been established in the first place.
I also agree the second half was dragged ... showing the concern for Khushi at her family's house was just killing time towards the end ... including Shyam's extreme reluctance to talk to anyone in the Raizada house - we already know he has some khufiya relationship with them, and it remained khufiya till the end ... 😕
But for me, two major changes happened ... or rather one change happened, and the second might now start. And the major track change which happened was the change in Khushi's feelings for Arnav ...
You guys waiting for Rabba ve and ArHi moments???? Perish the thought ... they ain't gonna happen any time soon!!! Till now, it was Arnav hating Khushi for unknown reasons ... from now, the boot's going to be on the other foot ... till now, Khushi didn't hate Arnav, regardless of the shit he was throwing her way ... she was just bent on proving a point to him, and doing it the best way she could, as honestly and decently as she could. She was getting bewildered every time by the unfairness, by the venom, by the powerplay ... but she kept going doggedly ...
But now ... ASR went too far ... despite the fact that this time it probably was not intentional, he actually didn't know how unsafe that building was ... I'm giving him the benefit of doubt here ...
But starting off at the breakfast table, the sheer bloodymindedness of refusing to take her with him to office, then the yelling at her about aukat and how girls like her tryo to phasoa rich young men ... (will return to that later - that's the second point of the day) ... which from her POV was totally unfounded ... also, did it strike a chord somewhere? because that part really stung her ... to the sending her off to that deathtrap of a building with no actual work for her to do there ... where shewas stuck alone at night with the building collapsing around her ...
And you think Khushi's gonna fall for Arnav??? Forget it!!! She is now going to hate Arnav Singh Raizada with all her guts ... THAT was the major track change today.
And the second ... the seesaw begins ... cos ASR is probably going to have his change of heart ... at the very least he will be worried, concerned, will probably rush there to find her ... my guess is either she will be unhurt and they will both be mad at each other ... or she will get slightly injured ... enough to kick start his guilt feelings even more ... and she will now be the one mad at him ... the hate kicking in at her end, while he starts the meltdown ... hopefully ... I sooo want to see ASR suffer now for what he put Khushi through *sadistic laugh*
The other thing which struck me was the words ASR used when yelling at Khushi in the office ... about girls like her trying to catch rich young men ... that is probably related to his past (well duh!) ... so ASR's history may start to emerge slowly. But consdiering the show is based on the history between Arnav and Khushi, my feeling is that it's not going to happen any time soon. And it may happen for some time to come in teasers like this one.
A third thing ... will Lame ma'am make an exit? Or will she still be around? Cos Arnav didn't intend to marry her anyway, and Nani cancelled her patta too ... Lakshmi finally was of some use ... Or will Lame stay around to become typical SP vamp? But that's an aside ... Lame ma'am is a sidey. Shyam is the joker in the pack here ... he may upset a lot of equations ...
So I wasn't disappointed in totality ... stories never really move much in mahaepisodes, but there was some underground shifts here for sure. Waiting for Monday to see how they take it from here!
