What The! - The Birthday Continues...

Welcome to another edition of What The!

First of all.

Happy Birthday Arnav Singh Raizada. 🥳🥳🥳

Never know if we will get a chance to celebrate your birthday ever again considering they change dates like Di changes sarees..😆

An episode filled with everything. Some love, some happiness, some anger, some cutesy making up and something we were all craving for.. A Rabba Ve. Ek nahi but doh doh Rabba Ve's. Happy and sad wala.😊

We begin from yesterday's precap, Arnav is upset that Khushi hasn't wished him a happy birthday. Khushi tells him she is only doing what he asked her too. She had prepared everything but stopped just for him. Arnav shuts up and realises it is his fault. There you are boy! Always think before you talk! How is the girl supposed to know your words have symbolisms in them to decode?😕

Khushi explains that she has changed so much for him and can't he do this much for him? Hmmm. You have Khushi?? Sachi muchi?? Jhooti Jhooti...🤔

Oh I think she means, she wears a bump-it and tents and acts out wacky English movies now as opposed to before..🤓

Ah well..whatever fits with her. Or the amnesiac writer.

The line where she say's "Aap humare liye itna bhi nai kar sakhte?"

I don't agree writerJi. That is wrong.👎🏼 He has done so much for her. We see it everyday, he tries to do things, changes things about himself just to make her happy. That line was so not needed. Even today he made jalebis on his own birthday just to cheer her up.

Skip to next scene at the dining table, the family notice Khushi is upset and realise that maybe Arnav wanted to be wished. So when Arnav arrives the family says happy birthday, he thanks them and waits for Khushi to do the same. The girl ignores him and leaves. Nani explains to Chotte that Khushi just wanted to make him happy.

Next Akash shares some of his vast knowledge of girls with Arnavji. I liked this scene. This was probably the first time these brothers had a chat, that wasn't related to work or Mehta and Mehta or Singhania's file.👍🏼

Akash negotiated a paragraph of lines looks like, now wifey has run away. Good stuff. Akash bara hogaya hai. He even told Di "Miyan biwi ka maamla hai" Yes Bro. Teach Di some manners!

Fandom rejoices! Hallelujah!😆

Arnav makes Jalebis. In an apron. Hilarious stuff! This man does so much to cheer wifey up. And does she cheer up or what? 1000 watt smile and all.

She gets him to make a wish and blow out a candle over the jalli hui jalebis. I'm curious. What would ASR wish for??? A jalebi cookbook?🤔

Oh I know. He wished for his wife's Salman Khan obsession to be put to rest.. *sigh* hum bhi yehi wish karte hai..😃

Khushi gifts him a suit which shrinks in size to accommodate the gift box.

Although, that suit didn't look new. It had so many iron marks on it. And it was definitely not the size of that new mini ASR.

Next Rabba Ve plays, and my ears cry with joy!!🥳

Then a wink, a jhappi, a pappi, another pappi and Rajkumar carries Sundari away into the sunset.. I mean sunrise..😊

And with this sunrise, satyanash arrives in a Chotta package.

A new museebat named ASR the real Chotte..

I thought this whole scene was cute. The khadoos bacha was brilliant. Kamaal ki acting.👏

I am reserving judgement on the kid and next track because there are so many spoilers and so many ways this can go. Dekhte hai on Friday..😃

Oh can they snatch the lip gloss off the kid?

Bachuu, Mama ki lippy nahi lagate...😲

Arnav Singh Raizada's birthday epi continues and like expected he is pushed too far, how could Khushi not wish him? How could she act like it was just an ordinary day?? Arnav like viewers expected a rebellious Khushi but it turns out there were no plans, it was just to teach him a lesson and it is one he learnt well. Arnav who in the past got angry at anyone who wished him suddenly found himself hurt that such a special day was being ignored, especially by his wife of all people.

The "fight" scene was one I was looking forward to but the way the writers chose to handle things was done poorly. I can understand Khushi being upset that Arnav foiled her plans, she expected more of him now that things have changed between them that was fine but what is with her I've changed so much for you line?? Correction CVs it is not Khushi who has changed a lot, it is Arnav. Arnav is the one who has shown the most change for Khushi so that line completely worked against her.

Khushi's upset was very visible to the family who realized things backfired and decide to wish Arnav while there is still time. Arnav is pleased with the wishes but knows he's upset Khushi and his family reminding him of that doesn't help matters, like Khushi he too has nothing to eat.

I loved the following scene, finally the CVs are bringing back the brotherly bond that once existed between Akash and Arnav. For once Akash got the chance to help Arnav mend things with Khushi instead of NK and I couldn't be happier he is being given more to do these days, hope the CVs keep this up because I am loving it!!!

When I watched the live feed this morning and saw the kitchen scene, I thought it was Khushi blowing off steam imagine how shocked I was to see it was none other than Arnav making jalebis! Talk about a priceless scene as his family looked on, got to love Akash for stopping Anjali from interfering. Di has the best of intentions but Akash is right, this is between Arnav and Khushi let them work things out for themselves.

Arnav surprises Khushi, his plan to cheer her up worked in a matter of seconds as that million dollar smile made its return. Khushi was extremely touched and excitingly celebrated her husband's birthday. It was an adorable makeup scene complete with a promise, hug, kisses and an end to the Rabba Ve drought. It was perfect since we finally got a complete scene instead of one which is usually cut too short, too soon!

Next morning an angry Khushi returns the suit which got mixed up with mini me ASR's. Khushi is stunned at what is before her eyes, could it be?? The CVs are really trying to throw viewers off by having us assume the worse but I still believe he is not Arnav's kid. This just does not fit with Arnav's character. I know the live in relationship with Lavanya but they never slept together and she was only brought in to spite Nani. Arnav just doesn't appear to be the type to sleep around given his past. Hoping Khushi is shown standing by her husband, when they can survive their past, Shyam and Dadi then this should be a piece of cake! I think this track has potential if handled well. It is too early to reserve judgment, willing to give it a chance.

Overall an episode I enjoyed, it once again struck the right balance and gave it an old IPK feel. IPK team is doing a good job, I'm a happy viewer. Happy Birthday ASR!!
