Spice Girls Hangout: Starry eyed yet realistic...

As expected Khushi is too shocked to respond so Arnav disconnects the phone while a smile breaks out on Khushi's face, it is the words she always dreamed of hearing. Khushi having flashbacks of why it mattered to Arnav, the words he could never complete it was all starting to make sense to Khushi. Khushi started dreaming of a new beginning to their lives, she was head over heels in love and it showed but soon the dreaming came to an end and reality hit her hard

Sari your post makes watching this show worth while! Seriously you take it to another level of splendor and I go back and re-watch it all and it actually comes alive!!!! 👏

It was a nice continuation from yesterday's episode. Arnav says the words and disconnects the phone. Could he feel her reaction the way he felt her tears or did he not want any questions at this point in time?

Khushi snaps out of her stunned silence and she smiles amidst tears on hearing those magical words. Her walk back to her room brings back all memories of Arnav's faraq padta hai statements and the answer being because he loves her.

I liked her dream sequence because it was totally Khushi's POV where Arnav is wooing/romancing her. Her shushing him down when he attempts to talk indicating almost that she needed no explanations from him, yet again pointing to the fact that she will forgive him. The broken pearls are strung back and she gets the message in a bottle which snaps her back to reality - this was done well.

She then starts thinking and deduces that his manner of speaking is different, and wonders who he could have said those monumental words so easily, maybe his life is in danger? The Cv's actually interwove her thinking process/restlessness with Arnav struggling at the other end- that was done well.

I really like the way the Khushi's character has matured the last 3 weeks. The girl in her peaked out during the dream sequence and we all got to witness her first genuine smile and happiness after a long time. She shakes it off and slips back into questioning/concerned wife mode. She aborts taking help from the police to avoid getting the family involved.

I am sure we are going to get Arnav reminisce his interactions in Khushi when he is in captivity. I think his reflections will be only about the past whereas khushi's was about the future. So who ever manapped him knew about his condition - more and more pointing to some one in the internal circle?

HI Sari,

Hi Sari, Great post as always and lovely pics😊

Good continuation from yesterday and fast paced episode. Khushi's expressions were fantastic after Arnav's ILU. The tears flowing down, the smile on her face, her hugging the phone..AWWW..please bring these 2 together fast. I just wished she had said something; there was a look of slight disappointment on Arnav's face before he disconnected the call.

Great recollection of the farak padta hai scenes; the almost kiss, she knows he loves her and that he means it. She was bang on in her assumption that if all was well he would not open up and confess so easily. While she does not doubt his feeling; she is wondering what was the urgency to say the "itni badi baat" this way. Her confusion on him accusing her and not giving her a chance to explain but then confessing out of the blue; was what was needed to reiterate the suspicion that he is in danger. I loved how she connected all the dots and did her small investigation to conclude that he has not reached Scotland. Finally someone had the logic to think that if he did not go to London, why did he send her the message? Khushi is in action mode with her thinking cap on👏👏. She will crack this mystery and bring her Arnavji back. She is already dreaming of what she will do with him once he is back😉

I liked the dream sequence: it was a typical Khushi type bubblegum romance with the romantic rajkumar who buys her jewellery, loving makes her wear it; chases around her and sends her love notes. It was a sweet dream sequence in KKG style. Going by the spoiler pics of the pom pom in Arnav's hand looks like we are in for another dream, which will be more intense and passionate..😍 more ASR style.

My poor baby Arnav is held captive and that too without his timely medication. Though looked super hot tied up to the chair and struggling to reach out to the phone i did not like seeing the mighty ASR this helpless😭😭

I loved the police station. How sweet and silly can Khushi get to tell the cop she knew something was wrong because her hubby said he loves her. But I'm super glad she has decided to take matters into her hands and is following her instincts. Now if only she takes someone into confidence and instead of going about all this on her own!

I am super happy about the Arnav dose we got this week and looks like there will be more scenes of him tomorrow as well. Plus I read a couple spoilers saying he was on set today and has shot a lot of scenes..Yayyy 🥳

The TRP's came as a big shock to me; 2.3 is really low for a prime time show esp. when BV is at 4.2. The CV's need to move and move fast. I hope they use Barun's time wisely and move the plot along instead of unnecessary dragging of this kidnapping track. It is the dragging and untimely comedy that has resulted in this. Hopefully the ILU promo will help do some damage control and soon. We need to be back in the 3.5 bracket and soon!

So yesterday we had the M & B hero spill the beans on the phone and today the bollywood heroine just take over the show. I keep telling you gals Khushi is going to go Kamles Khabri track postal times 10, now that the guy has dropped the ILU bomb on her.

The episode began where it ended yesterday with Arnie saying "I Love You, Khushi'. If yesterday, Barun reiterated why he is the best guy to play Arnie, today Khushi showed why she is the best Khushi. The shock, the sole tear, the soaking in of the feeling and then a small smile that just bursts into the first brilliant smile she has been able to trump up since Arnie left. The joy of knowing he loves her, just taking the moment to let it soak in, the clutching the phone as if it is a lifeline and the walking away from the family in her own trance going through all the farq moments and the Diwali almost kiss, all very nice. 👍🏼

They phone call ended perfectly with both not saying anything else. Anything after something as big as a I Love You from Arnie would have diluted the moment. It was just perfect.

And from that moment on, the bollywood kitsch took over. And how??? 😳

Arnie, tied a chair with two strands of rope, two guns pointed at him, room in shadows'😡

As soon as Khushi reaches her room, still in the euphoria of the ILU from Arnie, she sees him in the room, lighting a candle. She walks to him and extends her hand to him, an invitation, an affirmation of her feelings. He tries to say something and she stops him. She doesn't need anything else from him, his I Love You is all she needs. He points to the table, a gift, a strand of pearls'he puts it on her, he advances, she retreats, runs to the pool only to be caught by him and held close. And then reality sets in, his face shows it, he gives her the message in a bottle, a I Love You which is also call for help.

The whole setup was cheesy but let's face it. This is Khushi's dream and the man has complicated their love story enough over the last 11 months that she is fully entitled to a fantasy where he is as readable and as approachable as any hero in a bollywood film. And if in her fantasy, she wants to play pakda-pakdi around the pool with the guy, then ermmm, that is what she will have. And Arnie, you signed up for this. Scratch that. You blackmailed your way into this position because you do want to play tag with her. So really, it is a match made in tag heaven'.

Main jo bhi karta hoon, job hi kehta hoon, uska apna matlab nikaalna bandh karo, Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada. Sapno Ki Duniya se bahar aao.

And she does snap out of it, pretty quick.

Itni badi baat itni aasani se kaise keh sakte hain, jaroor koi mushkil mein honge'sab kuch thik chalte hue, woh itni badi baat kabhi nahi kehte..

And yet the song playing during the dream sequence said

Sapno ka jahan, hoga khila khila

Barsega saawan, jhum jhumke

Do dil aise milenge..😳

One of my all time fave, this song. Absolutely beautiful lyrics and every single line in the song tells a Arhi story. 👏

And she does all the right things. Calls Aman to confirm that there is no Scotland deal, checks for flights to Scotland on the day, checks the message that says London, goes to the cops.

aapko aisa kyun lagta hai ki who mushkil mein hain

Kyunki unohne humse kaha ke who humse pyaar karte hain

Khushi!!!!!! Girl, you want bollywood kitsch romance from the guy, you should get it.He has messed with your mind so much that you don't believe in his truth anymore either. Do what you need to. Make him run around before he gets you. Yes!

Ghumshuda Premkahani, it is. Sigh'

Akash Bitwa, Nani has made it official. You are stepping into Arnie's shoes while he is missing. That means two things, Aman is your mistress now and you need Nani and Anji to fix your love life. And you are right on the path. The next step is to learn how to smirk. Now we know you can't do the "I am so bad, I am good" smirk that Arnie has perfected, but you can surely do the "sensitive desi boy trying to be bad" one. We will make do.

Notes:

1) Anjali did find the timing of Arnie's call too convenient. There is a brain up there but Akash stepped in to push her back to la-la land. The family goes out of their way to keep her there.

2) No gel or too much gel, Arnie just moves into extreme. There is no middle path for this guy.

3) Khushi in that red tent had more of belly than a 6 month preggers Anji does. But, she looked beautiful as long as you ignore the dress.

4) Arnie smiling in Khushi's dreams just gives me creeps. The flower scene in the GH was also the same. *Shudder*

5) Arnie's tapori kidnappers, O teri 😆 and Arnie's struggle to get the phone'. Is this what is needed to get the TRPs up? 😕

6) Arora kidnap case at the police station. Kamles Khabri, I tell you.

Hey Sari and Spicegirls!! Lemme say i just love how everyone comes here on time its like "kyunke humara dil ek doosre ko pukartha hai ;)" haha ok i know its prob cuz of the timing but hey thora cheesy to chaltha hai


was unsure if i shud write today as i shud be studying for my philosophy final *puke* but i decided lemme take a break lol...

Anyway today i surprisingly watched the epi live on my desktop and boy did i regret it later..my grandma decided to come in the room right at the point of the dream sequence an i had to mute and open a new window pretending i was studying..such a fail..anyway to the epi

I really like it how they started off with the i love u and the happiness that came on khushi's face priceless loved it a lot..

Then the dream sequence i actually liked it..the part that had me gushing was when he was walking towards her and she was backing up kind of teensy bit reminiscent of diwali though the passion in that hasn't been surpassed as yet..i know some didnt like the running by the poolside i found it a bit funny myself but i let it go..they used to do this runnkng business in their previous show as well lol..its not ASR's character but its khushi's arnav that she is imgining doing that so i kind of didnt mind..but my fav from the dream sequence is the moving hair an putting on necklace and then the backing up and khushi running away...

Also i liked the smart khushi getting to solve the mystery!! Finally! Also i liked the police station scene about how she knows he is in trouble cuz he said i love u i was like awww

Brilliant post Sari!! Loved it!! The way u make me relive the epi with ur amazing words is sooo ahh amazing lol!! U rock!!!

Okies me getting back to studying now catch yall laterz!!

After a fantastic start from where we left off on terrific Tuesday, the epi seemed to lose its way a little before picking it up again and taking the story forward.

Phone from Mr. Right trailer? 🤣 this Mr. Right has come out in a very wrong time.

I am in very off mood. Have a bad migraine, having some personal issues and the low TRP and forum frenzy have all gotten to me.

Read so much about the dream sequence.,,all those OMGs. Then when watched it, it had something missing. I love the song. Then what was it? Figured out. Khushi's dream ASR us my nightmare. He does do mushy and it did not suit him. But, won't complain too much as this was khushi's dream and she is pretty bollywoody (it again reminded me of BS 's BW venture 😭 .

Please CVs please, do not drag kidnapp track. It won't help with TRP and I am worried for the soap future. For Gods Sake we haven't had our hug yet, our kind at least.
