And so the cookie crumbles

As the episode wore on...the walls of false that Shyam was creating fell around him...And the expression ASR gave when he heard the password was worth waiting for!!👏👏

Shyam is weaving a tangled web of lies and will fall in it himself... he took the first step today when he said that Khushi was after him and had made him sign the papers... Arnav knows the truth from that fateful night on the terrace when the very same Shyam had admitted his love for Khushi and said that the only obstacle was his sister... this lie will seal his fate !!

So we hurtle towards the denouement ...hanging on for dear life... love the CVs for keeping us this way -- they are really shaatir!

Totally agree that everyone is staying in character. I'm so glad that the villain is being shown as someone with brains; not the buffoon of yore who couldn't get any of his schemes straight. Now he is prepared for all their salvos, true to his profession is asking for proofs for everything and has ensured that they have none. It lends some much needed credibility.

Also in terms of presentation I love that it is all being presented with minimum fuss I.e. no jarring music or panning to each person's shocked face at every shock-worthy statement uttered 😛

Heading off to work now JW but will come back later for a more detailed chat😊

As I introduced myself to you a few days ago.. i have been reading your posts for long and thoroughly enjoy your Bollywood references. Hindi songs seem to be your favourite.

The past few days ( and I have to say even some of the kidnapping sequences ) were watched by me without batting an eyelid. They have been engrossing and moving the story at jet spped. IPK essence has been maintained ie no jerky camera shots or mridangam playing for effect thus justifying my devotion to this show. 😃

In terms of todays proceedings I agree that all were in character but for Arnie. Somehow something was amiss and the arguments are plenty as to his gameplan and his observant nature etc etc...what to me was lacking was his seething anger , his expression which continued to be that of a deer caught in the headlights .

Should he not be reacting at all to the allegations being laid at her door. Wasn't this the women for who who cried a few hours ago so how come you are so calm now. Even the reaction to "i Love you Khushi " was not strong enough. Has to be poor direction.

Its sad that we the Desi audience loves to see our women folk up on the stand defending their honor and waiting for the man to finally endorse it.

So here is an oppertunity for Anji to take a stand and ask her husband to leave and one for Arnie to aplogize to his wife for all that he has put her through..

Do you think this would be the outcome in the next few days or should we just blissfully wish for romance and a Teri meri Part 3?

Hoping to see the last of Shyamu soon ...regards

I really enjoyed this whole weeks episodes

I don't agree with your self analyis of being sadharan happy JWMRK

I think you are intelligent and appreciate this really enjoyable and unique soap that has invoked a lot of thinking and analysis. The writer is always a step ahead no matter how much we feel we have nailed the story. I am just loving the current revelations and as usual I am sure there is more to it than meets the eye.

Clues - the first thing ASR asked Khushi was - do you have any saboot when she declared Shyam being the kidnapper. He knows very well how Shyam operates, he had a taste of it himself. Remember how Shyam completely played with him in front of Anjali after the big reveal about him and Khushi and how he mocked ASR a couple of times when Anjali was sulking over ASR's sudden shaadi also he is a lawyer. My guess is Khushi knew all the proof was lost and they probably decided on a game plan. I noticed Khushi and Arnav giving each other looks every time when it looked like Shyam was having his way.

Anyways, lets wait and watch...
