Spice Girls Hangout: What was once a dream...

Good way to start the week off, seems CVs have heard viewers out and chose to focus more on Arnav and Khushi and less on their parallel tracks. At first watch I did believe things were a bit rushed but then I watched again and I must say I was wrong. The pace is just right and I was wrong to expect things to be as they were during Payash wedding, it can't be since Arnav and Khushi are already married and technically we already saw them going through all the rasams before they got married. What is being shown now is just a formality.

I am loving the return of the mother daughter bond between Khushi and Bua who had a beautiful scene as Arnav listened outside. Arnav found out exactly why Khushi got slapped the other day, it was for defending him and it did not stop her from defending him again today. Little by little he continues to learn more about the woman he loves and the lengths she would go for him. Arnav returns, the thank you has nothing to do with Khushi giving him his phone it is gratefulness for everything she has gone through for him.

The nighttime scene was adorable, from Arnav missing Khushi to both looking at the moon. What I loved most was Khushi looking forward to spending the rest of her life as Arnav's wife, she even replaced Salman's photo which shows the significance Arnav now holds in her life.

Khushi and Bua arrive at the Roka ceremony without Garima or Shashi. I felt bad for Bua, Garima is really putting her in a difficult position but fortunately Akash lends support. I know his excuse was lame but he saw Bua helpless and rescued her from a tough spot, its better than seeing him stand around and do nothing.

I am convinced this forum is stalked by the CVs who made sure to incorporate the fact the engagement did happen in the past at the mandir, the bandage scene to be exact. Khushi realizes she's been his before she can even remember. I also loved the fact he let Bua tie the Raksha Daaga on his wrist, knowing how much it meant to her.

Ok a mini rant about the next scene while I like the song from Mohabaatein I felt it misused in the show, the dhol beats were more than enough to get everyone dancing so why the song??? It is the second time I've seen a song misused and the scene is best watched on mute.

So Shyam is doing something with Anjali's meds, what is he upto? I doubt he would harm his child, not when it is beneficial to him

Points to be noted, NK saying dhoka and we all know that when NK messes up his Hindi it is not always an accident it's a hint, so was this another hint about the past like in Friday's epi where he spoke about not having the wrong girl get the shagun???

Second point, Arnav who looked sad momentarily seeing Di completely lit up when his eyes shifted to Khushi. I am starting to get why Khushi was given the multicolored sari for she has brought colors back to his life which was once filled with darkness.

Leaving the best for last, the poolside romance. Arnav true to his character would rather steal some moments away with his wife instead of dancing, who can blame him especially when he won't be able to see her after haldi. Khushi is finally comfortable with his close proximity, no shock, no fear it is just right. The scene is almost a 360 of Diwali only this time its Khushi who spoils things by bringing up Aman, she is truly pagal but with that there is the innocence which Arnav loves.

Hi Sari and SG's!

Awesome episode; aaj Khushi ke Arnavji ko dekh ke mujhe diabetes sa ho gaya hai; but loved it for the man who bent over backwards for his Khushi and her family; small gestures to make her smile and create a beautiful memories every step of the way to erase the turmoil of the dreaded wedding night👍🏼. Superb performance by Barun today; he totally nailed the romantic scenes with his husky voice, oh so in love expressions and bang on voice modulation⭐️⭐️. Plus he looked extremely handsome and super dashing in the scarf. Sanaya managed to look very pretty despite the hideous outfit (would it kill the PH to get her a matching red/orange lehenga😕) and her expressions in the last scene were excellent; I'm glad we did not get the "I'm ready for my punishment" look but there was anticipation and a nice blush. Well done Sarun!

Good continuation from Friday and Khushi's monologue "bolna kya seekh liya, hume hi chup kara dete hai aaj kal", was spot on! I loved the build-up to Arnav agreeing to wear the raksha dhaga, glad he did not jump in as soon as he heard Buaji talking to Anjali. Loved Khushi for standing up for Arnav to her Buaji and saying that they know he loves and respects them and there is no need to force him into something he does not believe in. Buaji's "woh bahut sanki bhi hai aur unka bachao kar rahi hai humari maha sanka devi" was so endearing and clearly shows what a long way Khushi has come in understanding her Arnavji❤️. Arnav's "thank you" was because he realizes that she loves and accepts him the way he is, does not want to encroach on his beliefs and cares enough to defend him in front of all😍.

Loved the night scene with ARHI thinking of each other and awww moment of the day was Khushi apologizing to Salman for replacing him with her Arnavji. It was super cute to see her put Arnav's khadoos face on SK and asking him to smile while he smiles on looking at the moon and thinking of her.

The roka ceremony was good; we got our share of smiling faces and tears of joy, surprised reactions at Arnav having given himself a google tutorial on the various rituals, a oh so cute playful ARHI moment with the "chimti katiye" scene and naach gana. He did this for her; he took the extra step to not go through the rituals blindly just because he has to but to give them some meaning becoz this is so important to her. Buaji seems as elated as Khushi and Anjali and the rings are exchanged. So glad Arnav reminded Khushi of the symbolic mandir engagement and he reaffirms that she is his, Khushi's "tab se" perfect use of FB and excellent closing of the loop there. An acknowledgement by both that the special moments they shared in the past; they remember and cherish and understand the importance of😍.

Thank God Arnav did not decide to shake a leg to the song but in his usual ASR style grabbed her and took her to his room for some private time. Loved loved loved the last scene; UFFF, the confidant flirty ASR and the flustered but wanting it Khushi; the "tumhe dekh raha hoon", to the gentle lingering kisses, the sexy "anne do", the expressions, body language, love, longing, desire and passion just brilliantly displayed. This is one kiss I did not miss being left incomplete because only Khushi can think of Aman at a time like this and her comment just brought a big smile to my face😃. Arnav's comment on her writing a book on the 100 ways to spoil romantic moments by KKG and Khushi's "Singh Raizada" just pure ARHI magic brought brilliantly to life by our very dear Sarun👏👏!

Not sure what Shyam is upto; for now don't know don't care🤢. Akash finally grows a spine and gets a meaningful dialogue, Payal looked pretty today, Garima needs to come up with a better plan. I'm glad the Dadi/Garima hide and seek and Manorama Mami's filler scenes were kept to a minimum to give us a truly Arhilicious episode that sure will be on my replay list.

What an episode. Full mushfest from start to finish. I like Mushi-ness. The mush is increasing every day. Lage raho Cvs.

Dimaag is going through severe load shedding tonight. So batti is fused and post is rubbish. Skip if you have to.

We start from "hum aap hi ke hain, lekin..." and the duo are still staring at each other even after 72 hours. Kitna stare-a-Ve karte hai yeh dono. Uff.😆

Next buaji and Anjali di are gupshuping on ways to get chotte to wear a raksha dagga. But chotte will scream and shout and cry and stamp his feet but he will not wear a dhaaga. Chotte hears this and the brain gears begin to work.

Next Stoppy declares the raizada curfew and all the peeps leave. Till chotte comes back because he left his phone on the table (You did? When did you take it out chotte?Liar Liar no pants on fire because you won't get any new ones if they do)

He hears Chotti tell Buaji about him not wanting to wear a dhaaga and find out Chotti got slapped because she was defending him.

So Chotti gives him his phone and tells him bye. Chotti is now taking english lessons.

Next raat time. Chotte misses Chotti and decides to call her but then realises she must be practicing taekwondo.

But on the other side Chotti realised her LG is hotter than Salmanji and decides to cover his mugshot with Swami's face.

And then some telepathic skyping via the moon and Chotti makes chotte smile.

Next morning its roka day and Chotti turns up in, is it the mauritian flag? The south african flag or the colours of IF??

But does she look pretty or what though!

Chotte also appears in his shiny grey suit that he wore during Grahpravesh Cvs think they can distract us from the recycled suit by giving us an awesome cravat. Uh No. But our leads are perfection itself so Maaf kiya for now.

Next we have the Roka ceremony and more important things first. The baby is alive. The bump exists now. Hallelujah!

Chotte and Chotti pehna each other rings, chotte gets a dhaaga and and Chotti becomes happy and to make it more perfect Chotte remember the bandagement.

And just when it couldn't get any better they play mohabbatein. Sirf Veeps ke liye.😆

And to make it even more perfect Chotte steals chotti and complete not one or 2 but 3 pappis and goes in for a fourth till Aman makes himself known.

And all the Aane do's and stuff and we all melt into a puddle of goo.😳

Hence the load shedded brain and the incoherency to make a logical post.
