First of all,apologies to Priya & crooner friends. I'd reserved a post on page 6 of the last crooner,but I couldnt update it yesterday.Nor could I read & comment on any of the posts.Sorry.😔

Coming to last night's epi,rather epic. Bilaakbuster Friday in every sense of the word! Hats off to Barun,Sanaya,LM & the crew! Really appreciate ur efforts!👏

Epic starts off with Khushi coming to her jiji's room to give her some saree. Jiji confronts her on the bachelor party issue & Khushi merrily says she knows about it.
Jiji demands to know why,despite knowing about it,Khushi allowed Arnavji for sucha party?

"rokna kyun hai jiji? Agar saare ladke milke jashn mana rahe hain,toh isme buri baat kya hai?" says Khushi,unaware of even the A B C of the jashn.

According to her,the guys would be doing what she & her friends did the night before Preeto's wedding. "Raat bhar masti kari,golgappe khaaye aur antaakshri kheli!"
And I went like Hey Bhagwaan! Khushiji,kya aapko sach me lagta Arnavji,Nanheji aur jijaji antaakshri khelnewale the? Dhannya ho!

Paayal voiced my question." Tumhe sach me lagta hai ki yeh saare ladke milkar antaakshri khelenge? Ki maine ka se gaya hai toh tum pa se gao?" 😆
Just imagine NK saying " Nannav,mere bhai!! Maine ka se tana gaya hai,tum pa se gao!" And Aakash correcting him "Tana nahi,gana NKbhai!Gana!" And Arnavji k chehre pe what the..!? and "R u...?" waale expressions.

Anyways,Paayal tries to knock some sense into her by saying that there'll b girls over there & alcohol. But in vain! All Khushiji is bothered about it "Unhone toh humein bulaya hi nahi!"

Finally Paayal manages to give a clear picture to Khushi by giving some more details
and Sanka devi realizes her blunder.As always,she went aa bail,mujhe maar! on herself.

Is pure scene se ek baat toh bahut achchhe se pata chali: Paayal doesnt trust Aakash. I'm not saying Khushi didnt doubt Arnav. She did. But her doubts were 50-50. Kahin na kahin she knew ki Arnavji aisa nahi karenge.. Yeh wali party me aisa nahi hoga. But she had her doubts. Thats y she said "Agar aisa hua toh hum Arnavji ko nahi chhodenge!" Jab ki Paayal said "Hum in ladkon pe bilkul bharosa nahi kar sakte!"

In the next scene,we have Aakash & NK drinking to their hearts' content. I was counting the bottles. 3 bottles waitor ne uthayi,ek Khushi k pair k paas thi aur 6 table pe rakhi hui thi.Arnav didnt drink. And there was nobody else over there. Iska matlab dono bhaiyyon ne milke 10-10botlein khaali kar di!?😲 Unbelievable man!

What's with this "coo.. coo" music making its appearance time n again yaar? Its so wierd n silly! 🤪Who listens to such kinds of music? Raizadas' need to update their music collection.
Waise,I loved Karan & Akshay's expressions! Esp. Aakash's .Bechara got the shock of his life when he saw Paayal!Poor NK was clueless. He thought Paayal is praising him jab ki she was angry on him.

Aakash bitwa tried to show his anger on biwi. Par biwi ka mood dekhkar dar gaya! Waah Paayal! I loved the way u picked up his specs & dragged him out saying "Chaliye!Ghar pe chaliye,bataate hain aapko!" Payalia bher ber uj since so many days, haiiinnn? Aapka yeh roop pehle kyun nahi dikhaya,bitiya?Yeh roop kabhi apni saasuma ko bhi dikhao! 😛

Khushi confronts NK on the party issue. He reminds her that she was the one who told him to make sure Arnav has a gala time.Khushi asks about Arnav & NK points to the window.

Jo dikha woh dekhkar toh Khushiji haivaan pareshaan ho gayi!
Shadow was definitely Arnavjis! Question is,who was the lakdiya?
NK tries to stop Khushi.But its too late.She has already assumed Chandi Mata ka roop and barges into the room,on the hunt for the chudail!

Before,I move onto the next scene:Sanaya,Karan,Akshay & Deepali acted really well in this scene! 👏

In the room,She searches everywhere; under the bed,behind the curtains,but chudail is nowhere to be found!When Arnav tries to stop her,she gives him a piece of her mind. Arnav tolerates it quietly until she says "Aap aisa soch bhi kaise sakte hain?" thats it!He marches angrily towards her,unnerving her for a moment or two. Once she recovers,she asks about the chudail!

Yeh kya? Chudail toh mannequin nikli! Khushiji was certainly not expecting this!

Arnav asks if she really thought he could do that? She says no.
Arnavji reveals that there was no party. Hmmm! Yeh toh sara shaatir dimaag ka plan tha! He knew very well that she would gatecrash into the party,hence the mannequin n the orders to NK to not allow her inside the room.

Khushiji hits him on his chest & says "Aapne toh humari jaan hi nikaal di thi!" aww!

Arnavji gets into natkhat mode & says she'll get punished for ruining his bachelor's party.

As he came closer to her,I was like "no plz,no! Not another almost kiss!" Waise,I'm so glad they finally kissed yesterday! Almost kissiyas ki sankhya kuch zyaada hi badh gayi thi.

He whispers something inaudible to the audience in Khushi's ear. Khushi at once denies to do whatever that is.

Again he tries for a kiss & again Khushi pushes him & runs away.

Waise,1 doubt,yeh bhaagi toh saamne ki or thi,phir peechhe ki or waale French window se kaise aayi?

Has Khushiji been drinking tan ki shakti,man ki shakti bournvita? Ek push landed Arnavji on the bed!

When she comes back,hosh ud gaye mere! Aur Arnavji toh dekhte hi reh gaye!

Jin logon Arnavji ka Salman Khan wala roop dekhkar 440 volt ka jhatka laga,un sab ko Khushiji ka yeh avatar dekhkar 880 volt k na jaane kitne jhatke laga honge!

She walks & then sits seductively,ekdum pose me! Ghungat hataya tab Arnavji ki aankhen..oh God! she smiles & starts the dance with aisa confidence ki main bhi sochti reh gayi "Kya yeh actually KKGSR hai?" And the song!

Arnavji getting stuck in the pallu bit was hilarious!😆

She continues her well-choreographed,seductive dance as Arnavji watches it indulgently. I'm sure he never expected her to agree to the punishment n then dance this way! But yeh to hona hi tha!Agar woh bina Khushi k kahe,Salman Khan ban sakte hain toh humari Khushi bitiya unki ichchha ka maan na rakhe,aisa kaise ho sakta hai?

Agar Arnavji ne yeh nahi socha tha ki Khushi lap dancer ban jayegi toh uske baad jo hua unhone woh toh bilkul hi nahi socha hoga! Lapdancer turned into Bollywood dancer,ekdum dhinka chika style! I loved his expressions when she started her KKG wala dance!
Khushiji realizes she'd got carried away & quickly comes back to the seductive gestures. And then again they fall on the bed,this time Arnavji on top of Khushiji!

Arnavji comes to the point & asks her why she came there? She says "Aapko yeh bataane ki aap par sirf humara haq hai!" Kya baat hai! Loved the display of sadda haq from Khushi!

She continues "agar koi chudail aapke paas aayi,toh hum use.."
Arnavji is all eager to know what she would do to the chudail!
"Kya karogi tum?"
"Jaan se mar denge! Lekin us se pehle uske baal noch denge!"

Notice something? She never said hum aapko kuch karenge ya aapke baal noch denge or anything like that! she knows & trusts her Arnavji that much!
Sanaya was fantabulous throughout the scene,supported really, really well by Barun! 👏The dance while being fun was oh,so sexy!
Sanaya's black saree & heels reminded of a song sequence from Baat Humari Pakki Hai,where Saanchi had worn a similar black saree with a.. strapless blouse. That song sequence was hot & romantic!Jabse Khushi ko us saree me dekha,I was hoping we get some romantic stuff. I'm glad cvs fulfilled my wish,thank u!

Coming back to the epic,Arnav Khushi's chudail talk is over.They both smile at Khushi's thoughts. And then Arnav takes her to show something special.

The next scene was out of this world. It brought tears to my eyes.
Waise farmhouse wala room PaYash ka room tha! Khidki-darwaze ko dekhkar saaf pata lag raha tha ki yeh RM hi hai!

Coming to the scene.When Arnav asked Khushi to lie on the rug,she appeared uncomfortable & hesitant.Yet she didnt refuse him!
Now the projector idea & the projected sky was just magical!

Khushi says something really nice n heart touching "aap samajhte hain.Humein bharosa hai,aap par,aapke pyaar par!"😊
She knows he wont cross his limits.
She hugs him & he hugs her back,ready to reveal some more of his soul to her.

"Khushi mujhse ek wada karo:ki mujhe kabhi chhod kar nahi jaogi.Main tumhare bagair nahi jee paunga!"
There,he said it!
What he'd said indirectly during Heer Ranjha act "Heer k bagair Ranjhe ka koi wajud nahi hai."
What he couldnt say after he rescued her from the cliff,at the end of the kidnapping track "Khushi main... tumhare bina..."
He completed his sentence tonight.
I think that was Arnav Singh Raizada at his vulnerable best.
When he was miffed with her for bringing Shyam back to Shantivan he'd said :"Kisi ko apne itne kareeb nahi aane dena chahiye."
Khushi ko woh ek line kehkar usne yeh saabit kar diya hai ki Khushi us ke sabse zyada kareeb hai. Utni kareeb shayad uski maa thi pehle aur ab Khushi hai.
Maa k suicide se related jo dar hai chhodh kar chale jane wala it haunts him in the present day. That is one thing he just cant bear,the one closest to him leaving him. What he couldnt do in his maa's case,he does in Khushi's. He extracts a promise from her that she would never leave him. And he reveals that he will never be able to live without her.
In response,Khushi kisses his cheek.
This is again cvs touch. Khushi se kehelvaya nahi,so in future when she'll leave him (IMO) she isnt breaking a promise. Coz she never said anything by word of the mouth. But if Arnav considers the kisses as promise toh.. he'll b devastated that she broke his promise,that too after he said that he cant live without her.
That kiss was so cute!Loved the lipstick mark of Khushi on Arnav's cheek!Again, I loved how he inclined his face towards her & closed his eyes when she kissed his cheeks. And he had tears in his eyes.Awww!BS's expressions were awesome!
Khushiji would've kissed his other cheek.She even looked at it.But Arnavji k honth beechh me aa gaye! So Khushiji,who looked confused for a few seconds,decided to kiss his left cheek only,a little higher up,near the cheek bone.
Then I was confused. Camera angle se laga jaise she kissed him on his lips.
But the very next moment Arnav flipped her over so she was lying on her back.
So did she give him a peck on his lips or did she not?
I loved the way Arnav removed her bangles and then that kiss on her arm... super sexy!☺️
The next part rendered me speechless. I'm unable to write anything on that.
And the morning after scene has more to it,so am not writing about it right now.
While I loved the fact that the cvs chose to go with Rabba ve as the bg score,I wouldve loved it even more had they chosen the original rabba ve. Why did they use this sad one? It gives me bad vibes,esp. the line "Hum kyun na ban paye hum?"
On first watch,I was numb,having goosebumps,blushing hard!
On seond watch,I was fist pumping the air.
Yes! Yes!Yes!
Finally,they kissed!

Main khush aur laal toh aise ho rahi hoon as if I was kissed by Arnav!Ufff! Is paagalpan ko kya naam doon?
I have literally gone mad & watched this scene & Khushi's dance on YouTube I dont remember now how many times.
Since morning I have been humming namak ishq ka. Yeh toh ganimat hai that my mom doesnt know which song I was humming throughout the day!😛
With each passing day,ArHi are falling deeper & deeper in the ocean of love & I'm falling deeper & deeper in the ocean of insanity!

Before I end my post,a big thank u once again to Barun & Sanaya!🤗
I am apalled seeing all kinds of posts on the forum.
Some r complaining about the camera angle kiss,some about the distance between their bodies(😲) & some have already reached Khushi's pregnancy & leap & all that jazz.
We all know Barun & Sanaya r not comfortable with intimate scenes.
Barun has a habbit of sleeping with his hand under his pillow. I've seen this in BHPH & IPKKND,both. Yesterday's scene me he must've been uncomfortable coz the headrest(if there was one) under the rug wasnt high enough. Plus the intimate scenes must've been awkward. Yet he excelled in all his scenes!Just bcoz they're actors hum yeh nahi keh sakte ki yeh toh unka kaam hai,jab jaisa scene aayega unko karna hi padega! They cannot complain or say they r not comfortable!

We must respect their views & acknowledge the fact ki despite the discomfort,both of them delivered in the scene. It was an A class performance from both,if u ask me.

IMO,they didnt consummate.There would've been a sbb/sbs segment,some article n even a promo if this was the consumation scene. CVs wont risk trp by not having a promo for the big nite. Consummation scenes r crowd pullers in every show. Even for the hut scene cvs gave a promo.Why would they not give one for this scene,had it been "the one"?
Besides there's always a morning after scene .Here there was none. I guess they stopped after the kiss. Now I'm waiting to see Arnav babua's reaction & ArHi interaction post the liplock.

I'd like to end this long... post with a couple of lines from Wake up Sid:

Yeh lines toh tujhe rut gayi hongi...

It was Beautiful .. whatever it was. An picturesque episode that kept my brains shut for hours .. I have not experienced that in a long, long time.

I have thought for a long time on how to write on this episode. And I have finally given in. I do not think I can do enough justice to whatever I saw & felt .. so I am just going to do a simple take - just some random words.

At some other point of time ..

"Aaap bahut ajeeb ho," she said.

"Ajeeb hain ye," he said.

On Friday night ..

"Hum dono..," she initiates.

"..Kitne ajeeb Hain," he completes.

And there completes my perfect story of the two imperfect lovers – flawed & weird in their own ways but perfect & complete in love. I saw them coming full circle in so many ways on the night before their wedding, their supposed "last" day of freedom that they spent together.

"Aap per sirf humara haq hai" – how I loved Khushi for finally claiming her right over him. How many times has he told her she has her "huq" over him? How many times has she not responded? And finally she does. He is only hers .. just as he wants to be hers too.

"Love can reduce anyone to anything" - Arnav set the tone the previous night, Khushi reciprocated on the night following. He set aside everything else and became her Salman Khan for a minute. She set aside everything else & became his Ladylove in all means. Another day, in Purple Orchid, dressed in black, she tried to do something for him – to reciprocate everything he was doing for her. Finally, again dressed in black, she finally did something for him – a promise never to be apart, a promise sealed with a kiss.

"Main tumhare bina nehi ji paoonga" – finally he completed what he told her during their "ajeeb" connection. "I don't need anything else, Khushi" – he said he only needed her & he expressed the depth of that need today – he simply cannot live without her.

I loved how Khushi stared at her own hands in utter disbelief – she was about to grab NK by his neck! Love reduces .. it does. 😊

It was interesting to see how nervous Khushi was as Arnav led her to show something. She was so aware of the surroundings as he closed the door; she was so aware of herself as he made her lie down – her head over his arms. She tried to settle down – her shakiness evident in her body language. And the moment the stars start shining, everything vanishes. How could he think of something so dreamy? The answer made her let her guards down, not his words but the reason behind those words – he did not think of it, he felt .. a man in love.

I loved how the stars allowed them their little privacy .. They blessed them, they let them talk about their "true love" and they left them in their privacy to find each other .. Loved those little touches .. her mark on his cheek, his no effort to conceal his desire but to restrain only because of her, her spontaneous hug, his emotions at her loving caresses ..

They may have made out or made love or indulge in something in between – whatever it was, for me, their union is complete. They have said the unsaid, they have claimed their rights, they have promised, they have sealed their promise .. they have become one.

"Nafraat pas aane naa de, mohabbat door jaane naa de" – all along I thought these would run parallelly for the star-crossed lovers. But I have suddenly started feeling differently. Why do I feel the "nafraat" phase is all over? Why do I feel this tagline is about the two parts of their turbulent love story? Right now, I feel that the first part of their story is completed – it was about overcoming their hatred – the hatred that did not let them unite. And now starts the second part of their story – their love will keep them united despite everything else going wrong. Their love bloomed in the shadow of their hatred – and now their love will never let them apart. It is time for love only .. love will keep them alive.
