Rabba Ve SG's - subbing in for Sari who should be back to resuming her anchor posts later this week. It was a beautiful, heart wrenching, mind blowing episode with lovely understated scenes to describe the tattered relations in RM. To the entire ensemble cast, crew and the PH - a huge ovation.👏

Damage Control: Today ASR took the first steps in attempting to control the damage unleashed by the revelation of Shyam's web of lies and deceit. " I trust Khushi" - powerful, succinct words to his family in an attempt to clear any doubts they may have on his decision to throw out Shyam. His near death like experience of almost losing Khushi earlier during the day, made him realize that she will give her life for him. He took a vow to stand by her and protect her and the words he uttered today were the first steps in that direction.

One cannot help but feel sorry for Anjali. In a matter of a few hours (though it was several days for us in real world!!) her perfect marriage has come crashing down. She has seen accusations fly back and forth, totally at a loss as to who to believe and who not to believe. To cap it all, the two men whom she has placed on a pedestal are now on a war path against each other, her brother throws her husband out of the house even before she had a chance to comprehend or react.

"Arnav hamein akela chod deejeya" - not chote but Arnav, this statement stuns him to realize that his sister is upset with him and does not agree with his actions. The brother in him never imagined that such a day would come. Each and every member of the Raizada family still reeling under the after affects of the confrontation and are completely heartbroken remembering past interactions with Shyam- fantastic FB sequences.

Khushi enters the poolside area with great apprehension towards a brooding Arnav, the happenings of the day weighing heavily on both of them. She does not want to disturb him and attempts to leave, he does not let her go and they lean on each others support in a beautiful, silent hug. Knowing that she is very tired and worn out, he lifts her and delicately lays her on the bed. Khushi understandably does not let him go out of her sight and he sits by her side till she drifts off into sleep, comforted by his presence next to her - her first peaceful sleep since she left him at the airport.

Barun and Sanaya, the last 5 minutes were absolute bliss- so much pathos, heartache, love conveyed between Arnav and Khushi and not a single word was uttered👏👏. The hut scene cannot even hold a candle to what we witnessed today. This right balance of drama and romance is what makes us glued to IPK and hopefully today's episode is an indication of fantastic episodes coming our way.

What an emotional episode this was! CVs continue to impress and so does the cast who were in full form today.

Onto the episode, continues where we left off with Shyam being thrown out of the house while family looks on in shock. What I loved about this scene is the fact Arnav made it clear to his family that he trusts his wife and whatever she said was the truth. After all these months, Khushi is finally getting the justice she deserved but it doesn't feel like much of a victory given the aftermath left behind.

Many relationships have suffered as a result of the truth coming out, starting with Anjali and Arnav. Anjali who has always referred to Arnav affectionately as Chotte today called him Arnav. Anjali who is still not ready to accept the truth cannot handle the fact her brother threw out her husband, her world is shattered. What I want to know is if by the ME does she really accept the truth or will she be tempted to take Shyam back?? Anjali is someone who is damaged but she can also be manipulative, this is one track that can go either way and I'm interested to see where the CVs go from here

Another relationship that has suffered is Payal and Akash, sure their marriage was on shaky grounds before but this threatens to break their marriage once and for all. Liked the scene between Khushi and Payal, finally Khushi is through trying to be the strong one. In this scene it could have easily been her comforting her sister but instead it was her who needed to be comforted and she did not hide this.

I felt bad for NK today, he watched helplessly seeing his loved ones in pain and knowing who was behind it all. Looks like NK will be attempting to repair the damage left behind by Shyam.

Coming to my favorite scenes of the epi - Arnav and Khushi of course. What a beautiful, touching scene where there was no dialogues yet much was said through actions. These two have indeed come a long way, you could see how much they understood each other and feel the love. The scene was perfect

Looking forward to the next episode, Nani who it was already hinted to be on Khushi's side today will now learn more about just how much Arnav knew beforehand.

Rabba Ve Monday, masala ladkis 🤗and what a whopper of a episode it was.

Savs, beautiful anchor post that captures the essence of the epi. ❤️

After an epi like that, sharths and the like seem trivial BUT it isn't often that I win one of these 😉 so Docgirl, J, Joey, Howcome, Moksha, Israt, Payal, Radss, paru, leah, desigirl

for my fellow CPR still team mates... Well done! 🥳

Sci-Payal, Tee, Mandy, Diya, Maxine, Savvy, Bobop, Shwetha, Vistaa, AM, Rag1ni, chini_chokri, Hriju, chip, maggie, jerryik, meens

Below are their virtual kisswas to a disliked character for a redeeming deed/quality. 😃 If you haven't already send in your kisswas

Maggie: Kissy Kissy to Shyam Manohar Jha...who always manages to bring Arnav and Kushi closer together. This time you take the cake! Kidnapping scheme brought us Arnav's ILU, the hut scene (hubba hubba), the most iconic tv hug ever, the mountaintop meeting, meeting of the minds (telepathy), and today's historic "I trust Kushi!!!"

Savvy: Since I lost the morancewa bet - my shout out is for Buaji, I disliked her when she forced her opinions on Khushi to get engaged to Shyam but the redeeming quality is she admits she did a mistake and has since then become a protective watch dog - her time is coming soon!

Tee/Ippy: My kisswa to Di, although she's the worlds biggest blocker she was the first one to know they like each other...

meens: I lost the morance bet, despite all my analysis on the camera angle of the shot😕. Anyways my virtual kiss is to Garima; i really thought she was not worthy of being khushi's mother till their heart to heart conversation on preeto's wedding when she mentioned she was glad to see Khushi happily married because she could now satisfactorily answer her real parents.

bobop:kisses to shyam😡 but ill do a bit ramanchi'i wanna kiss the shyam from his first scene..he was not bad then...not the ugly fat shyam of ouster episode'.😆

Mandy: I send a virtual kiss to Shyam since his actions eventually did lead Khushi to Arnav bringing them closer than ever.

Diya: Kiss to Garima ... I disliked her the most for being only worried about Payal's rishta when everyone was worried about telling Anjali the truth ...
Virtual kisswa for ... the understanding way she told Arnav he doesn't need to call her Amma till he's ready to do so 😳

Virtual kisswa to KKNPK Rocky Ji...for his bumbling pehragiri and for bringing food/medicines for ODB...😃

P.S.: KKNPK = Kidnappers Ke Naam Par Kalank

Shwetha: My virtual kisswa for Mami...I thoroughly disliked her character for being so rude and mean to the Gupta sisters and sabotaging Khushi's business ventures...

Appreciation for her efforts in helping Khushi to search for Arnav when he was kidnapped and being motherly and supportive to her in those dire times...

chini_chokri: I send my virtual kiss to Maami for being such a strong pillar for Khushi while she went through the turmoil of a missing and then kidnapped and re-kidnapped husband!

sci-payal:A virtual kiss to Bubbly for redeeming herself at the end by realizing her mistakes plus owing up to it and confessing everything to Aakash despite the fact that Payal did give her the option of taking the easy way out.

********************

As for WWAD, the sharth still in play, it seems like himmat is on the way but Jamba assures me that Gulji's badla is yet to play out. I have a sneaking suspicion that she may be right. That in fact Khushi will stop Arnav from revealing the whole truth because that's between her and Arnavji and will stay that way --- for now. In any case, it seems like we're all getting a bit of what we predicted so here's a new suggestion.

If we get another epi tomorrow that is close to matching this one, we call the sharth a wash - everyone wins. 👍🏼 For 3 days our's DPs will be of Gulji and our siggies a tribute to the CVs . The majority on the winning team (at this point looks like himmat or Gulji's badla) has to agree to this, else we stick to the original penalties. Deal? 😉

********************

This was the CVs makeup epi for me and anyone else in that miniscule minority 😉, who was disappointed and sorely let down by the telepathy episode that otherwise garnered so much appreciation.

I'm "ellergic" to exposition on TV and Film - visual media that can capture every pore on the face, every micro blemish on the skin. So peeleejh show don't tell.When an episode does that, I feel rewarded that I'm trusted as a viewer to connect the dots and feel the right things without cue cards in 72 point bold font.

This epi was spare, elegant, parsimonious, quiet, subtle...show not tell--- yet it packed a punch. How lovely was the nani-maami moment? A saas-bahu who rarely see eye to eye, quietly comforting each other in anguish and in shared betrayal.Payal, who pleads with Aakash to believe in her truth. He does, how could he not? When Bhai says so, it must be so. But then he invokes the zeitgeist of the show - not such aur jhoot, "Where was your vishvaas?" Some one on this creative team has serious trust issues! 😆

NK popped up everywhere a silent, helpless witness to the devastation around him. He represented us - the audience, with a close bond to the family but in many ways as much a troubled onlooker as any of us. I loved the shot where he moves towards Khushi as if to comfort her. Payal gets there first, amidst her personal turmoil she's the big sister reaching for her sibling who's been through so much. The sisters embrace, and the camera pans out. NK leaves taking with him with the audience he represents, for that is a private moment of sister bonding. Really nicely done! 👍🏼

The final 5 minutes of ArHi time --- perfection. ❤️ I thought Khushi would get Vishwaas plus words that unequivocally set the record straight. But I was wrong...Terrace 360? Who needs it? Turns out she didn't need it, I did -- or I thought I did!That awful scene on the terrace that Arnav said was branded irreparably on his brain? Well it's gone, exorcised by the slap he delivered on Khushi's behalf as one of only 2 important people in his life. That painful cut of lacking "A" character --- poof! Driven away by his words that he trusts implicitly her every word. What else is left to be said?

She is troubled, regretful that she's unwittingly the cause of shattering the magic circle that envelops Di and her Chottey. So she turns to leave, helpless, feeling like an inteloper. But for the first time, Arnav reaches for her as if to say "You're part of me, you belong". Give Khushi a scrap of love and she returns it in spades. She rewards him with one of her no-holds-barred, patented hugs. He picks her up (the guy can skip his weight lifting regimen in the gym, huh? 😛) and sets her down on the bed as if to say "Rest, you've carried a heavy load and you're precious to me".As he turns to leave, she holds him back. "No, for how can I rest if I don't feel your gaze on my gaze,your touch on my touch, your breath on my breath". I wish they hadn't given us a precap (even though it was a good one!), for I wanted to freeze that moment, that tableau forever. There was no dialog except that which played in my head. 👏👏

By far though, for me the scene of the episode (full of great ones) was the one between Anjali and Arnav. ❤️❤️❤️ He pleads for her trust (that word again!😃)."I've pledged to protect you, trust me to know that I would spare you pain if I could". But she's fighting for the belief system that's been the very foundation of her existence. The various "truths", they flash before her eyes. She can deny the new ones as long as her chottey doesn't speak. He's her reality check.

She protects her crumbling world... She breaks free of the magic circle - frees their clasped hands. The last time they did this she had a near death experience. They had held hands, his head was in her lap, they cried and they weathered the emotional storm.

"Arnav, aap humein akela chodd dijiye". Not, "Chottey tum humein akela chodd doh." Much, much more painful than the 2 two tamachas he laid on Shyam. That Lucknowi politeness and formality dripping in ice, she literally shuts him and the world out. The scene was brilliant and Daljeet was terrific. ⭐️ Shattered, numb with grief, but determined with everything in her to hang onto her crumbling world. Steel magnolia, we're waiting for you to emerge. 😍

The ensemble cast was terrific today but the episode belonged to the team that conceived, wrote and created it. The entire behind-the-scenes team did a superb job ---- paid back our faith and patience in spades. 👏👏👏

The rollercoaster ride has arrived outside the endless tunnel, the bridge to no where is going somewhere and the boat to never never land can see land!!! 🥳

FINALLY!!!!

Arnav Singh Raizada grabs Shyam Manohar Jha by the collar and tosses his filthy ass out of Shantivan! Thank the lord! 👏

Then the words that would RULE the show from now on...for now atleast..."Di I am sorry janta hoon aapko takleef ho rahi hai...BUT I TRUST KHUSHI." Yup this is what it is all about right now and who knew it would change all the dynamics of the show. 😊 He say's it out loud in front of everyone and just like that the Nautanki of Di continues and she faints...They take her to her room where Nani and Mami are sitting by here...this is where the Alliances are forming...Team Anjali has the family and Team Khushi has Arnav, NK and Payal. Nani wants to be in both teams but Mami is clearly pulling her on Team Anjali for now. 🥱

I felt bad for the Arnav and Anjali in the bedroom. 😭 It's an awkward situation husband versus brother is always a tough one but if my bother came and told me that he was kidnapped by my husband heck my husband would be answering some heavy duty questions in addition to giving me a total hisab kitab of his where abouts Lawyer or Not! Anyhows...everyone leaves to let the brother and sister talk alone and the ankhon ankhon mai baatein between Arnav and Khuhsi here were so beautiful! She looks at him in hesitation and he tells her it will all be ok and she leaves disheartened. Arnav tries to talk to Anjali but the woman just doesnt want to listen! Arnav the small boy inside who adores and worships his Di explains what Raksha Bandhan means to him...a man of no faith, relation and emotion explains to this Pujaran what this relationship means to him and she just blows him off completely with Bullcrappy/FAKE FB's between her and her useless jack ass husband!!!! 😡 Outside the room Khushi is breaking down blaming herself for it all...Anjali calls him Arnav instead of Chote...and another turning point of this brother sister bond here...things are about to change...for better or for worse only time will tell...beautifully done BS and SI! And CV's...kudos....Nani, Mami all have their own FB versions of Shyam's nautanki as well yup everything is a family affair with this clan wondering where the Bakri is in this all!!! Any how's...Anjali throws Arnav out of the room...wants to be left alone...hogaya kalyan...Satyanash...whatever...🐷

Payal and Akash...the less said the better...a seperation track is in their future...the 6 month mark will bring bigger twists than I thought and today's interaction between the 2 made it very obvious that things are going to far worse for them before they get any better! Again I do think Arnav and Khushi will bring them back together eventually but a LOT of changes need to happen before that! 💔

Anjali right now is going thru her own turmoil ...she cant live without Shyam...but hopefully when she realizes the magnitude of what has happened she will understand what and how she feels. 😕

Ah Arnav Singh Raizada has returned and you know what? He is both ASR and Arnav all at the same time...Barun Sobti...I dunno how you do this but damn you!!! You are totally freaking brilliant!!!! 👍🏼 AND ladies hold your breath the nasty freaking Baniyan of eons ago has finally been trashed, the hair is groomed, i even see some gel in it and the fake cut on his face which in the initial stages started on the left side of his face but in the last week or so migrated to the right side of the face has stopped bleeding!😆

Khushi comes out from the bathroom and looks for him in fear of losing him again and notices him sitting alone , quite, in deep thought by the infamous Poolside...yup the Poolside the Poolside where so many things began...where so many things ended...where so many things were left incomplete and today the same poolside would be the one thing to witness another feat in their relationship....a relationship that is truly solid and very heart felt...words are a mere medium of communication for normal people...these 2 are not normal...their bond is way beyond the heavens and universe...it truly is Epic and the scene was pure PERFECTION! ⭐️ 😍

Khushi realizing how really important she is in Arnav's life...she takes the cup that the new P brings and hesitantly and nervously takes it over to him and he realizes she is petrified of it all...what to say, what not to say, to say or not to say, to cry for his sorrow or be happy that he is back...she doesnt know...she makes brief eye contact an looks away in pain ...his pain her pain and di's pain...she didnt want this to happen...all she wanted to do was find him and bring him home...her priority was not to prove her innocence but to bring him BACK and that is all her innocent heart and mind wanted...Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada just grew SO much in the process of it all...love changes people but Khushi just nikhroed in Arnav's love. 😍

He takes the tray out of her hand...and she just walk away and as she turns he grabs her wrist thru the dupatta...the dupatta being there means he is repenting he wont touch her without her consent...he wants to build her trust too...he doesnt want to force himself on her...he knows she love him but he wants her to willingly fall into his arms because he knows he has wronged her at many many levels and he doesnt know how to forgive himself or ask her for forgiveness here...so simple yet so effective and beautiful here...he brings her near him and holds her and she melts in his arms...holding him ...hugging him as her heart overflows with emotions and her tears run lose all over...he doesnt hold back either...he holds her back and comforts her...as the words of Kyon Dard Hai Itna...Tere Yeh Ishq Mai mean something completely different today than they meant 6 weeks ago on the terrace hen the truth was revealed. Today its about her pain...and his pain...together how they will learn to comfort each other and grow together...these words never sounded so good as they did today...Rabba Ve indeed...and lot's of them...He holds her head and thru those very very beautiful eyes a LOT is being said...so far yet so close...they both realize the war they have just fought and won and ow together they can conquer it all. 🤗

In true ASR style he lifts her off her feet...he had once tossed her out of his room and his life on the night of their wedding...he lifts her and brings her back to the room the way she should have been in the first place and takes her to his side of the bed...not her side but his side...a bed he had refused to sleep on with her ...here he gives her the right not only to his heart but he makes her an equal to him in all phases and aspects of his life...there is no misunderstanding left...there is no room for hate in this relationship now...and there is no need for any boundaries or restrictions anymore...he ever so darlingly makes her lay down on the bed and puts the blanket on her like she once did for him when he was sick...and as he starts walking away knowing that she is protected and safe now she holds on to his hand...and he jhat se comes and sits by her to console her letting her know that he is right here and she is safe and he is safe and they are home...he holds her face, wipes her tears away and a thousand words are said without a word being said...the peace on his face and the the comfort in her eyes knowing that they are together and near each other and that no Shyam can ever come between them again is one of the most heart warming scenes on television ever. Knowing he is not an illusion and that he is really...holding onto his hand by her face Khushi sleeps with a sense of security for the first time since she left him at the Airport...Arnav continues to admire this girl...this woman...the lady of his heart and his love grows more...he was where he belongs...his home...their home. ❤️☺️

Folks if this is not story telling...than i really dont know what is...In the last 10 minutes not a word was uttered...the humming of the BG song and the expressions of 2 of the best actor's in television along with a bang on script and flawless editing made this one of IPKKND's finest episodes! Brilliantly done! 👏

Simple, crisp, effective, pure and perfect!

The pre-cap looks interesting...Nani will be on Team Khushi...and we wait again for tomorrow...TRP's can go to hell...I am sucker for this and I love it!!! If people do not understand or want to see a mature lovable dramatic murder mystery love story...then screw em honestly...live and let live...and I wanna live with my show!!! 😃

Song of the evening...fit's the last 10 minutes...Khamoshi Ko...Khamoshi Se...Baat Karne do...😍

An episode without many dialogues, has no words to describe it. Absolutely beautiful. ⭐️

So good that I completely forgot the banyan mantra we were singing for the past month and didn't realise the clothes made an appearance!

A deja Vu episode of that disastrous wedding night.

What I saw today in these 22 mins was the portrayal of the theme of relationships.

Broken Relations. New Relations. Strong Relations and Weak Relations.

Not singling anyone out today. Each and every member of the Raizada parivaar shone today onscreen. And off-screen, the team did an absolutely marvellous job putting this phenomenal episode together. From direction, to sound, screenplay and also. yes. Editing. Excellent.👏

We saw the rifts forming in the Brother -sister bond. The one word "Arnav" explained that Di is not coming round for her chotte anytime soon. And chotte has taken a back-seat considering the way she threw him out the room. I'm not a fan of Anjali, but I did feel for her today. Her whole life just fell apart.

On the other hand, Payal- Khushi are closer than ever, the sisters together in their time of need.

Payal- Akash - cracks have formed. The lack of trust can be seen. Now it is their time to go through the trial by fire like their siblings have done.

Mami-Nani - this was absolutely beautiful today. We have always seen mami and nani constantly at odds and always bickering. Today we saw them together, comforting each other. Mami crying in her mother in laws lap. Both have come together in their grief for their children.

Arnav- Khushi - Do I even need to say anything about them. The strongest of bonds in all these equations. Both are each others support. Arnav who never needs anyone. Doesn't need anyone's comfort, shares it with Khushi.😍

Khushi approaches Arnav tentatively, partly with guilt,regret and uncertainty, possibly expecting to get told off for ruining di's life. But instead is enveloped in his arms. And Khushi let's herself cry her heart out. We see them comforting each other, he puts her to sleep and walks away, but she pulls him back. Because she doesn't want to be alone. Not after all those days of separation.

A full circle of the wedding night completed. Where once he threw her out. Today he brought her back in. Last time he threw a blanket at her. Today he tucks her in. Then he pulled a leaf from her hair. Today he pushed her hair back tenderly. Then he looked at each other with hate through the poolside door and fell into a restless sleep in turmoil on how to not show concern for her.

Today they are together and calm and in love.

Also the precap. Last time on the wedding Nani asks for answers and she doesn't get them. Now Arnav himself will tell her the truth...

Arnav and Khushi lived up to their telepathic name, judging by the glances they threw each other. First when Di stops Arnav from touching her. Second when everyone leaves the room and he nods at khushi and then in all of the final scene. They proved in their love, they do not need any words or any explanations or questions because they understand each other. Know each other very well. And that is the beauty of their relationship and that is why we watch them obsessively.

Oh I forgot.

I Trust Khushi...3 words much more powerful than a measly I love you coming from ASR. The man that does not trust...

Also NK watching everyone from the sidelines. A deeper meaning?? is he going to play guardian angel for everyone now???

No VM today. Not tainting this episode...😃

-------------------------

Rare is the instance in a daily show's life, when everything comes together, the good and bad, young and old, creative and technical, writing and direction, words and silences, acting and emoting, light and dark..., to create magic for each one of the 22 minutes of airtime. Today was one such instance. There have been brilliant sequences in the past, most recent being Khushi's realization, but this was exceptional in that the brilliance was present from start to finish. I never shy away from proclaiming my unconditional love and allegiance to this show, but today I wanted to scream from rooftops...Proud to be an IPKKND phanka!!!😃

So with the RM doors closed emphatically on Shyam's face, ODB turns around to apologize to his Di, knowledge of her pain dulling his voice...but not nearly enough to take an iota away from the weight of his declaration, "I trust Khushi"

*Vista does a happy dance*😃😉

There, you have it...Shantivan vasiyuon...no room for any doubt now, is there? Hearing it, Anjali who had been holding on to the flimsy hope that all that was transpiring in front of her eyes was a bad dream, suddenly wakes up to the fact that it is anything but...and it proves too much for her...she faints. A doctor's visit later, she comes too...but her mind refuses to engage with anyone...no eye contact with anybody...not even her Chotey...it is just she and her dream of a husband, her perfect love story...that seems to lie in ruins all around her... Mami and Nani are unable to provide any solace...Akash and Payal are hurting with their own particular wounds...while NK, who, along with Arnav, has been an eyewitness to her husband's perfidy...looks on sadly.

At her bedside, her brother stands, awash in guilt...but sure in the knowledge that it was for the best...that what he did was just the right thing to do...but no amount of certitude can numb the pain of watching his sister fall apart...😭

And then there is Khushi...who by virtue of being the plaintiff in the case against Shyam, is at once a victim and a perpetrator...she, who has suffered the most, paid the heaviest price, borne the heaviest burden ...finds herself in the unfortunate position of being the messenger with a message that no one wants to hear or accept.

And when her husband is summarily dismissed by his beloved Di, even after he has pleaded his case so earnestly, invoking the sacred raksha bandhan...her heart breaks afresh and she slides down the wall to collapse in a broken heap. 😭

Did I say all 22 minutes were brilliant? Well I stand corrected...the last five were brilliance cubed!!!

Barun's brilliance times Sanaya's brilliance times BG score brilliance...haaye,

Not a word was spoken, yet volumes were said...his all encompassing, thoughtful sadness,... her guilt-laden, grief-stricken hesitation...his sure but mournful hand grasp to the haunting instrumental...and then her no-holds-barred hug...*sigh*...my heart broke just as it was soaring with joy...Loved how she quietly puts her hands around his neck when he moves away, knowing fully well that he does that so that he can lift her in his arms...

*aansoon poch kar aatein hain...*

Barun stole the show today...he was killing me with the spot on depiction of a man, used to being in complete control, trying to recover from days of holed up in less than desirable conditions, still in dirty and grimy clothes,... trying to go about the unpleasant business of breaking his family's fantasy bubble...with as much grace and tact as he could muster... His gentleness with Nani, his complete emotional surrender to Anjali, his sadly loving support to Khushi...absolute brilliance. 👏

And Sanaya toh is brilliant as always...also loved Payal's hug...for that moment at least, she gave more importance to Khushi than to Akash...loved that touch.

Hopefully, Akash will get over his hurt soon and come to realize the truth of the matter...

This one's a keeper...in the tradition of mehndi, Khushi's realization, hospital , and Diwali.episodes.GH, Arshad, other writers, technical team, Gul, Nisaar,,...take a bow guys, take a bow..👏👏...better still...

Diya's post
Today's episode ... in a word beautiful!!!

No melodrama, no nautanki ... a quiet outpourings of emotions, all the more powerful because they were understated and for the most part, silent.

A dream died ... an illusion shattered. An illusion built by a master of deception carefully painstakingly over three years ... shattered by one moment of greed, an outpouring of lust and an overpowering ego. Three of the deadly sins ... and they finally brought Shyam Manohar Jha down, and destroyed that illusion that he had so carefully created.

And the destruction of that dream, the shattering of the illusion left disaster in its wake. A family torn to pieces ... the favourite daughter of the house left crying bitterly, alone, unwilling to believe still in the perfidy of her spouse ... the matriarch of the house left with the bitterness and sorrow of witnessing yet another child's tragedy ... the aunt, who was mother, angry at the betrayal not only of the son-in-law, but also that of her son-like nephew ... a husband angry at the secrets kept from him by his wife ...

And the only bond that survived the tempest was the bond that was born in hate ... because it born in the center of a storm, it had weathered all the tornados and hurricanes already, and grown slowly and steadily till it gained so much strength, that this storm, which destroyed the rest of the house, couldn't touch it. A new dream, born in the shadows of hate, and grown into full bloom amidst the chaos of deceit, lies and betrayal ... a new, indestructible bond ... if it could weather this storm, it could weather anything.

Parts I loved – "I trust Khushi" ... three words which changed the entire world for the Raizada family and its members ...

Nani resurrected as the matriarch – she silently watched the entire ugly drama play out in front of her, gave the warring sides equal opportunity to state their cases, watched with horror the unmasking of the smooth, silver-tongued monster to reveal the ugliness hidden inside ... and now she demands explanations.

Anjali states her allegiance ... husband over brother. Even though said brother has returned from grueling fifteen day ordeal, has been in danger of his life ... but she finds it too difficult to switch the image of the loving husband entrenched in her mind ... she won't do it. The brother takes a back seat ... he is no longer her 'Chotey' ... he is Arnav.

And as Arnav is expelled outside his Di's world, loved the family's reactions – all completely appropriate and beautifully, subtly expressed ... Nani understands completely what Khushi went through during the ordeal, and reaches out to comfort her, stopped by an angry Mami ...

Mami believes Khushi all right, her anger is for hiding such big truths from the family – and from her, when she was with Khushi all along in the investigations.

Akash – furious husband – he has the right to be! Not furious because he disbelieved Khushi's and Payal's story ... but because he has the right to be told. Payal has major problems ahead of her. But the big sister is here to stay ... as she stays to comforts Khushi over rushing to plead with Akash.

NK – the silent observer ... part of the family, yet standing on the outside, watching the trail of devastation left by the storm ... the relationships scattered and torn into pieces lying all around ...

Loved the flashbacks of every member of the house as they mourn the death of a member of the family and remember the good times ... for the sweet-tempered, good-natured well-respected son-in-law of the house, Shyam, has died a painful death ... killed by the monster they saw in his place.

As for Arhi ... where do I even start? Right from the first look when Arnav says he trusts Khushi, the two are bonded together tightly, in their constant exchange of looks, their constant unspoken communication ... the look when Arnav asks the family to leave, Khushi looks at him, and he gives a barely perceptible nod ... the way she waits outside for him as he tries to talk to Anjali, the most difficult talk of his life ... Arnav's torment as Anjali shuts him out of her room and her heart, and Khushi is as distraught as Arnav is, her heart crying for him ... and somewhere inside that guilt about her own role in all this ...

And the last Arhi scene showed why this Jodi has been winning all the awards till date ... and that love is not always about romance, it's about trust, respect, reassurance, faith, and simply being there for each other …

As Arhi have realized ... late, but not too late ... their bond strengthened by the trials of fire it has gone through ... complete understanding between them now, they can read each other's looks ... and hearts ...

As Khushi approaches Arnav slowly, still unsure, scared ... he supported her, but at the cost of the most important relationship of his life – his sister ... so many unknown truths came out during that marathon sludgefest ... where does she stand with him now? And Arnav, torn to pieces by the rift with his di, but Khushi almost gave her life for him ... he can see the marks ... she needs him now ... and he gives her what she needs ... the unspoken reassurance ... he's there for her, they're in this together. But she needs to rest now ... she's been through hell ... both physical and emotional ...

Yes, she has, but how can she rest if he's not there? She needs to hold on to him ... to make sure he's there, that he doesn't disappear again ...

And so he stays ... holding her ... till she finally sleeps peacefully for the first time in fifteen days.

A Rabba ve today which felt like the real thing ... which was the real thing. An episode which restored my faith in the show I fell in love with ... the real IPKKND. 👏

Heyaa!!

So looks like we've gotten the ultimate word, ASR's word and his word is, Khushi is saying the truth (and dare anyone question that!)
Quite a SOB filled episode, much like witty Mr. Goddwani had warned.

I'll be honest, I can't deal with Anjali being the attention seeker. Yes, what happened to her was very sad, but, it takes two to clap, somewhere she pushed Shyam away to lust after another woman and it really isn't Khushi's fault that he chose her. Both the siblings are to blame here, where he has realized it and is ready to rectify, the sister will make it 10x harder for him to do so.
Her "Arnav" today was the start of the build up in the rift that will be created between the brother and sister. I personally do not support that because her brother has been the one consistent figure who has been with her in the good and bad since he was born and she should know best that her brother would never intentionally hurt her. He's her only living blood relation and she should be smarter to understand him and hold on to him than push him away and blame him. Her brother was loyal to her and showed that blood runs deeper by hurting the one person he loved more than life, forcibally marrying her and never expressing or showing his love to her or receiving the love from her, something they both deserved from one another. He made the ultimate sacrifice for his sister and she is being ungrateful now. If Arnav has to redeem himself to Khushi, Anjali has to redeem her self 2x the amount to her brother and Khushi (CV's are you listening?!)

Khushi's already heartbroken by the first crack in the sibling relationship, another reminder that her love for Arnav and his family will take precedence over her own khushi and she will walk out the day Arnav is blamed to be more supportive of his wife than his di and this accusation will be thrown by none other than his di.

Arnav has both these women on equal pedestals, but Khushi's will rise when she decides to walk away to mend a brother and sister's relationship. Arnav's love and respect will only grow 10 fold from this gesture.
Anjali on the other hand has thrown her Chotte off the pedestal for her cheating husband, only she knows why!

I was very happy to see Nani trying to comfort Khushi and from the looks of the precap, tomorrow's episode will end with Nani joining Team A-K along with NK and Payaal. Maami will follow shortly. She will be more active in knowing more and putting 2 and 2 now that the one lady she respects the most has decided to support Arnav and Khushi.

Looks like Team Gul is winning this bet! Or is it safer to say all three teams are winning because we're getting a little bit of it all 😃

I'm excited for this week and very excited for this rain sequence and Arnav leaving Khushi behind. I don't like seeing people sad, but Barun does it just so nicely, I can't help but want to see it!

good evening everyone 😊...i dont know what to write today coz there is so much to tell...absolutely fantastic episode👏..speak less act more was the order of the day...so arnav closes the door on shyam's face and i was quite intrigued to see shyam looked out for anjali when this happened...he gave such pathetic loser expressions..that i have 2 laud him for his act..amazing acting prowess...totally in character⭐️...arnav said the best three words ever...courtesy ragini (if im not mistaken)...he trusts khushi...and anjali was devastated to say the least...i loved how the whole episode was executed today...less of melodrama more of poignancy...exactly what was needed...and what is expected of ipkknd...different n good different...totally unique...

i loved that nani assumed the role of the eldest in the house yet again instead of just being a bystander giving shocked expressions...she believed khushi and so did anjali...i felt during confrontation also anjali believed khushi from her expressions...she just misses her hubby..who was the world 4 her...n so she said...very clever execution of the shot...short n sweet.. everyone misses the good- turned-evil son in law...

of course mamiji surprised me yet again by taking nanii away from khushi...cmon mamiji..have u forgotten khushi's helplessness when she was looking for arnav everywhere...but im really hoping for her to turn around...lets c how that plays out...

arnav anjali rift is what i had anticipated would happen and looks like that from today's episode...im all for it...it will make for interesting scenes between arnav anjali as well as khushi...plus khushi seriously needs a respite from the dreaded word in th ipkknd world...MU...

that brings me to payal...she surprised me today...yet again...by sticking to khushi...instead of running for akash when he went away in a huff...go payal...

arnav khushi scene was awesome to say the least👏...no words...eyes speak all...amazing expressions...altho i would have loved to c arnav initiating the hug...nevertheless i loved it...rabba vey-lift-hug-hand hold of both leads...all were done perfectly to the tee...finally handsomeji took a bath n purified the poolside as well by rabbaveying n calming his ardent followers' eyes😆

in high hopes for tomorrow's episode ..hope the team doesnt disappoint...arnav disclosing to naniji the secret of shyam will make nani trust khushi even more and feel for what she has undergone..it is time the raizadas understood that...

Hi Sri and SG's! Great post and lovely pics😊

Super brilliant episode today; loved every moment of it. There is not a single scene today that did not really touch my heart. Arnav proved today that he can be the perfect brother AND husband together and he will find a way to protect and give happiness to the 2 most important ladies in his life. It is going to be a tough battle ahead for him, but the ASR we love will shine and win this battle against Shyam and ultimately emerge with Khushi and Di by his side.

"I trust Khushi", 3 simple words but conveyed the message loud and clear putting to rest all the doubts anyone had about him and his intentions. 3 words that probably meant more to Khushi today than his ILU declaration. A man of few words conveyed what was needed in true ASR style👏👏.

Loved the Anjali-Arnav scene; the way he looks at Khushi when Anjali wakes up and refuses his hand; the understanding and looking out for watch other clearly etched on their faces. My heart broke for Anjali and Arnav today; the way he held her hand and lay down in her lap, the reminder of the promise he made on each raksha bandhan to protect her; her finally moving her hand away and his expression when she called him Arnav instead of Chote, leading him out of the room, while he silently pleads that she cannot separate him from her life like this, Khushi breaking down seeing the distressed situation; one for one heart wrenching and brilliant scene.

Other small scenes that really made an impact: Nani questioning Arnav and for the first time he actually agrees that he owes everyone an explanation, Nani-Mami breaking down and comforting each other😭😭, Nani trying to show her support to Khushi with Mami stopping her, the Payal-Khushi hug, NK looking on helplessly as the family breaks down while remembering Shyam. I don't blame Mami because her main concern is Anjali and it is rightfully so since she is fiercely protective of Anjali. she will come around soon enough! One positive is that it looks like everyone will believe Khushi especially after Arnav vouches for her; today seemed like more heartbreak over Shyam's betrayal than actual doubt on Khushi-Payal. Brilliantly performed by all the supporting characters👏👏.

The moment I have been waiting for since last week; so thrilled that he happened today😃; ASR cleaned up and to see him in his awesome purple sweats and tracks by the poolside😉. He looked every bit the ASR; I've been craving for now if by Wednesday I can see him in a 3 piece suit then toh .

The last scene just reiterated the magic of SARUN⭐️⭐️. Sheer brilliance; not a word spoken but emotions beautifully conveyed. Her apprehension and nervousness when she approaches him, he immediately senses it, holds her back as she tries to leave, she hugs him tight letting the emotions flow, he hugs her back, comforts her, caresses her face and puts her hair back. Then in true ASR style picks his wife up and takes her inside THEIR room and gently places her on THEIR bed and tucks her in. I loved how she holds on to his hand and pulls him back, tenderly looking at each other till she falls asleep like a child in the palm of his hand. Hayeee!😍😍. Today was a true portrayal of a mature love story👍🏼.

Tomorrow seems to hold equal promise; ASR finally speaks up that he knew what a scumbag Shyam was from the day of the wedding. Looks like he is going to reveal it all to Nani and I'm glad Khushi is witness to the conversation because it is essential for her to see ASR stand up for her in every way. Why do I have a feeling the Khushi will stop her Arnav from revealing the truth about the forced marriage or the 6 month clause? Cannot be more excited to wait and watch how this beautiful journey unfolds.
