Sleepless Night !!

The Track has begun to heat up now, ...we are finally getting the promised Nafrat track looks like it will be gut wrenching , Well..I am ready to be wrenched but not drenched !! ... Hope they maintain the tempo and do not get sidetracked into showing lots of Monsoon showers...Todays star's are Dialogues n Music..

"The proper basis for marriage is mutual misunderstanding"
Oscar Wilde



The Stage is set, Khushi is lead in by Anjali, who then goes out to send in her brother...A reluctant Shyam is unable to tear his eyes away from her beauty, hovers on the doorstep of Arnav's Room... Arnav catches Shyam gawking at Khushi and his temper is roused, both the Hyena adn the Lion engage in a face off with none turning out to be a winner as the Peace Dove coos out to Shyam , Shyam dutifully exits leaving ASR to do his bounden duty ...Arnav enters the room, bolts it, turns around and is gobsmacked by the vision that he encounters, he stands there entranced by the spell binding vision, his face relaxing for a millisecond before memory floods back and his anger returns 10fold...He turns away from ehr showing his back , not wanting to see her , not wishing for that bitter memory to haunt him...but his emotions needs an outlet and they come out as scalding words aimed at roasting her in the hells of his hate...but his anger serves to spur her further and Khushi demands to know why he wanted to marry her if it hurts him so much, if it fills him with loathing, Khushi adds that she too does not want to stay with him ...A comment which is taken in a worst possible meaning as ASR assumes that Khushi wants to stay with Shyam , A furious Arnav bursts out that Neither can Khushi stay in the place where she want to nor can she stay with him, So saying a ruthless Arnav pulls her and throws her out of the room , to the mercy of outdoors...Arnav further states that Khushi's place is outside and that she will not find a place inside...without even a momentary pause he slides the door of the room shut , stalks away from her whilst Khushi stands outside floundering , incapable of fathoming the change in the man who few days ago could not even bear a tiny puncture on her skin, who was so scared that he wanted to call a Doc at the late hour to check on her ...


Dialogue was the King in this segment with both Arnav and Khushi getting the creams ...Loved the way Arnav told the sordid saga without actually revealing anything, as a informed viewer we instantly understood what he meant when he said " Tum jaha rehana chahthi ho " bit but an Innocent Khushi could not follow As she was thinking only of Gupta House ... Khushi's Dialogue !! How beautifully it underlines her character... She demands to know the reason , and watch the next sentence... she wants to know why he is putting himself under so much pain, why he wants to stay married and suffer thru if his heart is not in it..and why is he making her suffer too... Khushi's first concern is for him , his happiness then comes her plight.. In one subtle second they showed that Khushi under any circumstance will always put the other's person's happiness much ahead of herself .....

The Door sliding shut , Ahh !! it reminded me of the time when Khushi slid it close ...At that time too there were interlopers in their relationship..Arnav was committed to La , Khushi was engaged to Shyam, Now the shadow of Shyam hovers betwixt them ...Khushi had shut the door convinced that Arnav did not love her ..She had walked away leaving him alone...Today he shuts the door on her , convinced that SHE does not love him and that he does not figure anywhere in her life, That knowledge rankles , On that day too he had said, You mean nothing to me and Today too he says you mean nothing to me ..On both the times , he lied !! ..he tries to distance himself from her but the distance only remains physical ...A circle closed or is it an open ended circle ..


Where there is love, there is pain.
Spanish proverb


Night advances , but Arnav is not able to get a wink , feeling the chill , He gets up to cover himself in quilt when recollections surges in, reminding him about the time when he had shut her in a dark room with no protection against natural climes ...His eyes , of its own volition transfers itself towards the place she is, finds her huddled and shivering in the cold ..Arnav walks towards the door, his first impulse on seeing her trembling is to call her in but he controls this urge ,cannot control his emotions though... in impotent Passion, he strikes at the chair , curls his arms to prevent himself from going to her yet his eyes never leaving her ..There he stands in the middle of the room , manfully trying to quell the spate of emotions , indulging in wanton acts of destruction's but his softer feelings override his obstinacy, his hate, his anger without a pause in thought, Arnav pulls the quilt of the bed, strides towards Khushi ...when again Arnav is assailed by momentary pangs...It will not do for him to let Khushi see him in such a vulnerable state,He stops for a second , composes himself, his face a mask of indifference ...Arnav opens the door, Throws the Quilt on the startled face of Khushi... But Khushi is not a person to suffer such indignity, she angrily throws it away from her preferring the cold to such humiliation..Arnav watches her rejecting the quilt, walks away and sits on the recliner, a victim of the warring emotions waging within him.. on one hand he wants desperately to get Khushi inside but his sense of betrayal/preservation is so strong that he does not want to do so and expose himself to more hurt ...nor can he shrug her off as his eyes constantly turns to look at her , he catches sight of her looking at him mutely, just hurt in her eyes, a question but no accusation...Arnav cannot look her in the eyes , he turns away resolutely , not wanting to succumb to her allure again..He sits on the recliner , tired, not wanting to move away from Khushi, ignoring the warmth of the bed...while Khushi shivers outside, Arnav feels the cold inside ..


Finest segment of todays episode ..The turmoil of Arnav was well brought out in this scene... Here was a man who did not even pause for a sec when he dropped her from first floor, who coldly, mercilessly shut her up in a dark room and left her to have a peaceful sleep ...Today the same man cannot see her quivering in cold , his thoughts are only for her , a insane need to alleviate her suffering but ego preventing him ...Memories of another rainy night comes back too, The night when Khushi was shivering in the rain directing the traffic ..On that day too, A grim Arnav Singh Raizada had thrown his coat over to her , Then too Khushi had rejected his blazer ..He had calmly put it on and walked away but today... he is affected by the rejection,,he can't maintain the same sangfroid , cannot maintain the same equanimity ...

The pause before he open the door as though trying to control his way ward emotions , putting on his ASR face ...very good directorial touch !! 😊


Morning dawns ,we find the estranged love birds in the same spot , exhaustion finally overtaking them ...Anjali knocks on the door .. which sends Arnav into a tizzy ...he hastily walks outside , calls out to Khushi , who is deeply asleep ...not wasting any time, Arnav quickly picks her up , and on her indignant poser , dumps her unceremoniously inside the room ...quickly begins to arrange the room ..while Khushi flatly refuses to play ball 😆😆..Anjali hands Khushi her that days sari and walks away ignoring Chotey whilst Khushi gives him a fulminating stare walks away to get dressed..Caught between this two angry Divas, getting the blast of their wrath is lil chotey, who absly does not have a clue on how to save himself !!

Whats with the one day one Sari ration to Khushi, cant her wardrobe be arranged in one simple shopping expedition ...For the first time , saw a panicking Dulha setting the bed to deceive the family 😃..Also will Arnav wonder why Khushi was feeling righteous and did not like to continue the pretense ..

The sisters scene was quite good one... be it Payal's relief when Nani intervenes and orders that Khushi can cook or her silent handing over of the oil ..but this two sisters cannot remain silent for long, their bond is strong and deep ..Payal again demands to know the reason for Khushi's outrageous behavior, even trying to get her guilty so that Khushi can confess but Khushi holds back, disappointing and angering Payal who feels hurt at Khushi's lack of trust ...Will that wound be the balm in healing the distance between the sisters ..

Of all pains, the greatest pain,Is to love, and to love in vain.
George Granville

Yayyy! For the first time I guess I came in here first!! 😃

Updated:-

Tant, really really nice explanation of today's episode. I actually also wanted to go into details on the door scene and the blanket scene and the sister duo scene but since you mentioned it, I wouldn't dare to touch it. 😡 As usual it's TANTASTIC. 👏 👏 👏

"When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do them part"~ G.B.Shaw

Finally "Nafrat paas aane na de...Mohabbat door jaane naa de". The fourth promo got me hooked to this serial, and oh boy, am I glad I decided to watch this series??? I am one happy girl today. Yup, I loved today's episode though I guess the entire forum and girls at FB are completely angry with ASR today and fuming on why Khushi is allowing him to torment her. But seriously, I feel for both of them today. I will talk more about them today from their standpoint.

"People create their own questions because they are afraid to look straight. All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk"~ Ayn Rand

Today when I was watching the episode and the pool scene it reminded me of two things. One, his Mom's letter and the other is the Diwali episode where he had taken his first impulsive decision emotionally. As I have always said certain characteristics about ASR, is that he thinks straight and sees the road ahead. Good or bad time had told him. Not all decisions he had taken is good enough but some are good though. The best character trait of his is he doesn't sit idle and cry over spilt milk rather he moves ahead and reacts and acts. Well the road ahead is also tough for him but what he is today is because he doesn't bellow on the damage. If you want me to describe Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada in two sentences then I'll say in the words of Ayn Rand that "only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth, the man who would make his fortune no matter where he started" and in the words of Rabindranath Tagore that "We read the world wrong and say that it deceives us". These two are the different character traits of ASR.

The best part of ASR is the moment he witnessed Khushi-Shyaam little rendezvous, he came back to his room straight. Consumed what he had seen because he is the man who believes what he sees then and there and decide to act on this matter. He forgot about his budding feelings for Khushi and at the same time his responsibility took over his romance. Yes, he is betrayed and he is shattered but even before he could recoup with his status-quo he decided not to sit and watch and decided to face it with all the guts he had. That is Arnav Singh Raizada. I am glad at least he has decided to walk on a path, good or bad time will tell him. Yes, there are potholes in this path as we know this is the wrong route he has taken but still something is always better than nothing. May be this path will help him eventually to get to the truth; may be this path will prove him his love was never lost; may be this is the path that will prove him Khushi was righteous all along. May be this is the path that will prove how lucky he has been to have been loved by the girl who is pure golden at heart and not a gold digger as he predicted.

ATM, he thinks Khushi is in love with Shyaam and he is NOT afraid to ask her about this but the reason he is not asking is because Shyaam had already confirmed this fact. It's not that he is afraid to hear it from her only thing is he cannot take it from her mouth and that's why he is not telling her or asking her. He is avoiding it. The best part of today's episode is undoubtedly the bedroom scene. As you said, he cannot maintain the same sang-froid; he cannot maintain the same equanimity like he used to do earlier when he was NOT in love with Khushi. He did that in the office track, in the parking lot scene, in the jungle episode but all started to change the moment he had fought with the goons in the jungle. That was the turning point of his bottled up emotions. As I mentioned earlier that Arnav will be more ruthless towards her because he thinks these two have cheated not only him but his Di and whosoever even think of harming his precious di he will rip them apart. Last time they were betrayed by their Dad,I assume and made them orphan and again this time they were hurt again by their love; at least ASR's love. When a heart breaks into pieces it hurts a lot. Today he is in a position where even I wouldn't want to be in. He has to make her life a living hell as his hands are tied with Anjali's pregnancy otherwise Shyaam wouldn't have been tolerated by him. He is doing all this just because he feels for the child who is about to fulfill Anajli's dream. He knows what it means to be an orphan and dare he would take away either of the parents from the child. He won't, as I said he his heart is of gold. This is the only reason ASR has given Shyaam a second chance. Lest I doubt Shyaam even knows it. I have always admired Aranv's straight forward thinking; there is not an ounce of duplicity in his character. A man who locked himself up for so many years and when he opens the door of his heart he realizes that he has made a fool of himself, then answer me how should he react??? If I were in his position then I would have killed the person who made me the biggest fool of this century. No way, I would have never ever spared that person. So, how can ASR??? That is the reason he said "jaanta hoon ki acting karne mein tum mahir ho".

He is fighting his own battle here inside. We cannot expect him to be diplomatic. There lies the problem. He is extremely emotional and a very downright person. I am asking each one of you just answer me. Can you stop loving someone drastically??? Is it that easy??? But at the same time I know he is not a gentleman here. Sending her outside the room is pathetic. Yes he didn't do the right thing but at the same time he also was feeling the pain inside; like he did on Diwali night, when he took that impulsive decision. Seriously how can you breathe in the same room with a cheater??? To him at the moment she is a cheater. Try to understand his inner thought process. His reasoning. Khushi's character is temporarily tainted in front of ASR now. He thought Khushi is a traditional girl with all the values of marriage and he found the same girl in love with a married man. How will you all take this fact when you find the girl / boy you are about to propose that you have understood them wrong all along??? There lie the contradictory values of Khushi to ASR. First of all he is shattered he misunderstood her completely. Then he is more shattered for making himself look like a boy toy to her, kind of. He wouldn't have thrown her out at the pool had the creep, Shyaam wouldn't have been standing there and gawking at her. The moment Arnav entered the room and saw Shyaam his reaction changed. What could he be possibly thought??? That yeah, Khushi wants to stay with Shyaam and not with him. Poor innocent Khushi didn't even realize his hint. What more emotional turmoil for a man when he witnesses the apple of his eye is being admired by her alleged admirer???

Had it been me then I wouldn't have brought her to RM, at all. This is a serial and the fans have brought this up themselves. I never wanted marriage and wanted separation but where will the TRPs come from??? The fans demanded Arnav-Khushi to be in the same frame and not pay the price?? Yes, he will torture her even more; he will rip her apart mentally till he hit the rock bottom. Till he figures out the truth and till then he will blackmail her to stay at RM. He will not answer any of her questions not that he doesn't want to but because he cannot take the confirmation from her. He will repent definitely, and how, I have said many a times. Don't you all worry. The best will be when he realizes he was wrong all along about her. The more ruthless he will be the more sweeter his repentance will be. He cannot even have the guts to face her. I so then want her to say to him - "ek baar poonch toh liya hota humse???" For as Voltaire said ' "All the reasonings of men are not worth one sentiment of women".

"Once a woman has given you her heart, you can never get rid of the rest of her" ~John Vanbrugh

Yes. The mighty Arnav Singh Raizada have certainly understood that Diwali night he had entered the most coveted place in this world, Khushi's heart. Yes, he had understood that moment near pool when he was about to seal his love on her until the phone rang and broke the moment. She indeed had submitted her heart that day, she went with the flow. Yet the Prince Charming was not ready. He had taken his first emotional impulsive decision that night the repercussions of which the destined girl still feels. That day he left her at the pool side all alone shattered while he was with the crowd around him rejoicing on his sudden decision but was he happy then??? NO. Even in the midst of the crowd his eyes were scrutinizing the only reaction that mattered to him the most, his Khushi's. That day his family, his world was happy for him for he included all of them in his decision though he was dying a thousand deaths that moment for he had hurt the most important who is destined to be his better half.

Today is the day again when the same moment was witnessed by both of them with a slight difference. One impulsive decision has again affected the lives of these two. This time the Prince Charming was ready but he had realized he read the Princess all wrong since the beginning. What he doesn't know that there are theories called "Cause and Effect"; "Sow and Reap"; Yes, what he had sowed on Diwali night he is reaping it now 1000 fold. He claims to create his own destiny but he doesn't know that a man is the architect of his own fate. Yes, today the same scene where Khushi is again in the pool side all alone and he is inside his room on the recliner each scrutinizing each other's queries; her questionable looks; his pleading her to somehow prove his thinking wrong. Today the tables have turned. His family is not with him, for when you cry you have to cry alone. The world has one duty to only laugh with you. But both time the mighty Mr. ASR had Khushi beside him to cry with him. Yes, once a woman has given you her heart, you can never get rid of her. She'll always be with you; it doesn't matter how many times you say ' "You don't mean a thing to me". Mark my words, he will kill himself the day he'll realize he did wrong with her all along. Loop is closed here indeed.

"A woman should soften but not weaken a man" ~ Sigmund Freud

Did you all ever realize that Khushi makes Arnav soften towards her and not make him weak??? She makes him more and more strong each passing day. When I saw the pool side scene where she took the wrath of ASR, it reminded me of his Mom's letter. She wrote in that - "Gussa bardasht kar lena, aur pyaar sood samet lautana". Today majority of the fans were angry with Khushi's submissive behavior. Why she didn't speak up??? Why she is taking the torture from ASR??? Is she really taking the torture from ASR??? My answer is NO. Now, let me put myself in Khushi's shoes, if I were to be in her position, then I would have preferred to stay cold in the pool rather than in the same bedroom with ASR until I figure out the reason behind his erratic behavior. Even if she loves him or at least thought that he means more than just a person to her, what ASR did is unjustifiable. If we go back, then since the beginning she has seen ASR doing this. Leaving her in the middle of the road; leaving her alone in the dark; dropping her from first floor; yelling at her; verbally bullying her; manhandling her whenever he could; affecting her life with his impulsive decisions; etc. At the same time she has seen, ASR instrumented Payal's wedding with Aakash; ASR handled Mami when required; ASR helped her Bauji's medical bills. This time ASR had left her in the middle of the ocean and nowhere to go for her. What will she do??? Yeah, she needs to wait for that one single wooden plank and she'll swim to the shore. For she is a survivor. Her way of handing ASR have already softened him and didn't weaken him. She had seen ASR's softened side towards her. She had seen the changed behavior and affection towards her. She had seen him getting emotional when she went MIA. She had seen him protecting her honor; when a man protects your honor and integrity then it means a lot to a girl; while the same man had tarnished her integrity and honor. As I mentioned yesterday, she was more frightened than hurt for she doesn't know the reason of this emotional turmoil. It is very easy to deal with the worst if you know the reality of it but how can you deal with the worst when you have to imagine the reason??? Khushi is more tormented mentally than ASR. One thing Khushi also knows that she brings out the best and the worst sides of ASR. On the Diwali night when she left alone for home, it was the mighty Mr. ASR who came after her and offered her to drop her home and wanted to answer her previous queries but it was Khushi who purposefully avoided that. If ASR has ego so does Khushi but the best part is Khushi shows her ego only to Aranv which I love, love, love. She will fight back and she will ask the reason of his act. But, her hands are tied here. She always does sacrifice herself for others this time is her Jiji. Even today also she thought of ASR first and then herself. We shouldn't get tired of doing what is good; at just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing. When you are in a position where your sister's marriage is at stake then you tend to take a slow step. She didn't give in; it's just that the right time has to come for she has always survived the wrath of ASR. Like she did today when she said let Anajli know why you did this? That's Khushi. She will take the wrath of ASR's anger and still will give him love with interest as Arnav's Mom advised. She has been doing this since the beginning that's her spontaneous reactions towards him. Some reactions are just spontaneous and not calculative. That is what is called heart to heart connection. This time I want her to leave him and go away when the time will come not because he treated her in a ruthless manner but because he didn't TRUST her enough though I know she understands ASR and knows there must be a VALID REASON on why he is doing this. For as Ayn Rand said ' "Reason is not automatic. Those who deny it cannot be conquered by it. Do not count on them. Leave them alone".

Res.. Tant,

I thought since you are not posting I also got a holiday today...😆

And Deprive myself of ur post..No way !!Doods 😃

Very positive post Sathya. I am beyond depressed today and all though I felt Arnav's pain , he did a bit too much in my opinion. Ofcourse Shyams presence disturbed him and his overwhelming jealousy made him inhuman for a moment and he threw Khushi out of his room into the cold. He wanted to get her back but stopped himself from doing so. He was burning in hell . I understand everything. But for me it was a bit too much. He could have asked her to sleep in the floor but leaving her outside did not work for me. No not only because I feel it was freezing cold , which was not the case here. Actually the pool area is enclosed and looks like temp controlled. Of course it's still colder than the BR. I kinda felt she was treated like an animal today. Even pets get to stay inside the house . I hated when she was shivering and sleeping on the pool side floor. Kinda reminded me of medieval era when women were kept as slaves and treated like animals. It left a very bitter taste in my mouth.
I know ASR is going to change and hopefully this scene won't be repeatative because we all know tomorrow is always a better day.

Lovely post Tanthya. You portray Arnav's and Khushi's emotions beautifully. I actually loved the episode, so generally am staying away from the forum due to the many bashing posts. I wonder what their day 2 sleeping arrangement would be. I can't imagine her sleeping by the pool without a blanket on a daily basis :)
