#arnav and khuhsi

[jalebi-weds-bluetooth]

Hi J!!! How are you doing???

Wanted to pick your brain about what you think would’ve happened if Anjali hadn’t intercepted Khushi’s note during the Shaitaan-Sundari track?

Xx

Hello Anon!

I'm doing well :)

If Arnav read it, once again it would've been an evidence that the way Khushi behaves and feels is contradictory to that of what he believes. Of course there's a chance he might believe her resentment to their marriage is because she can't be with Shyam - but to be honest the whole exchange revealed something deeper.

Something about them that Arnav actively chose to ignore (can't blame him).

And to be honest, I don't see this changing the plot unless the entire idea was that Arnav should keep getting confused by the dissonance between the Khushi he believes and Khushi he sees until he has to confront the situation.

Because there are enough instances which gave a similar dilemma to Arnav but it was either proceeded by Arnav seeing Shyam-Khuhsi together and reverting to his first opinion or nothing being done about the situation at all.

Hence if the Holi was disregarded, pretty much this would make no difference either plot wise.

Best,

J

IPK Rewatch: EP 02; the dori breaks

and so it begins!! The first meeting, the divine stars have intervened. Devi Mayyian watched over as Khushi drove away on the stolen scooter and just as she pulled her dupatta feeling his gaze over her, she slips and falls in the arms of her rajkummar.

Every single interaction between them, it's Khushi who breaks away or walks away. Every single one. She is the one to break the bubble by stepping back or wanting to break away from his grip. He doesn't let her go right away as she squirms and him pulling her back into his arms for that brief second as he takes all of her in, makes her realise her hand on his collar which the moment she removes he pushes her off him. I think bitwa realised what happened to him. He was angry alright, but this girl stirred something the moment he saw her and her trying to break free away from him, a man who girls flock after; he is not going to take these feelings lightly. I think he realised what happened when snapped at her taking her hand off his collar.

Khushi stands scared. Whether any feelings in her have risen or not, she was scared and nervous to begin with and it's clear that the way this man stared at her was not how men should be looking at anyone for that matter. The guards take her away from the premises but not without her dupatta falling off and landing at his feet.

I always found the Khushi's dupatta a character of it's own. Dupatta means a lot to south asian women. Hell I would say that when I find myself wearing a 6ft fabric around me, the realisation of what this garment means symbolically and what it communicates about my character to style is not something that can be a joke. For a girl like Khushi, the dupatta is a symbol is respect and how funny and ironic it is that the man who in next few seconds will declare his control over her life will be the one to return/restore the respect he tried time and time again to disapprove about her to himself. The dupatta under his feet, falling by his feet is such a big deal. But also I feel this moment signifies that Devi Mayyian did sent Arnav as Khushi's protector. If Arnav has been provided with the power and ability to choose his interpretation of what her clutching her dupatta means, then he is also the only one whose treatment of her dupatta protects her image and reputation in eyes of others.

The dupatta and the collar are recurring motifs. And beautiful ones at that! There's something that happens to my brown ghairat at the utilisation of these motifs. Maybe internalised sexist rhetoric? 

Back at Gupta House, we get a glimpse of Bua ji's displeasure at Khushi's antics and everyone being worried about not being able to find the papers. Payal who had been hoping that Abhishek was unaware about the dowry, at finding out he's said nothing to defend the Guptas or his to-be wife, finds herself more upset. Meanwhile Garima figures out the connection between Khushi's absence and the mortgaged papers missing.

All while Khushi is being interrogated. In all honesty, I would be hella sus of Khushi being somewhere and ruining a major multi-million company's event. I tried listening multiple times but Barun really used to mumble a lot of dialogues on the beginning. He mumbles the name of a rival fashion house which the nosy person in me wanted to know!

When Arnav takes the first step forward, Khushi doesn't step back but it's from his second step forward that she starts taking a step back. A precedent is set between these two and the progression of their relationship with one taking a step forward, another taking a step back. Khushi doesn't willingly stop taking steps back until after Shyam's revelation. I think it also tracks Khushi's relationship with Arnav's anger. If Khushi's personality and actions give Arnav a reason to start falling for her or allow himself to trust his feelings for her, then none of anything that Arnav does ever allows Khushi to move past the confusion of having feelings for him. She is instead troubled at the aspect of liking someone she's doing her level best to hate.

In first 15 mins of the second episode, we get everything that's going to be the foundation. Arnav always being the one to catch Khushi, the collar, the dupatta, and the bubble which evolves into Rabba Ve, and the steps. I think this is the one of the reasons the initial episodes are beautiful and grip you. The show doesn't waste time in establishing the thesis of their relationship. We slowly start exploring their characters but the relationship, that's what all of this is about.

Sanaya literally looked like a goddess in this episode I swear. The make up is perfect, her face looks perfectly angelic and stands out in contrast to Barun's intense presence. the glowy backdrop of the make up room with mirrors and lights provides a perfect backdrop for who both of them are as people. Arnav being extraordinary and grandeur. Khushi being the source of light.

With Arnav narrating about aukat and wealth, Khushi's expression changes and she refers to caring about family members. She's here because of her sister. Eventually Khushi lands up in Shantivan because of his sister. If money is a motivator to regain the Malik's lost respect and turn them into Raizadas, the money is also something that Arnav equates with respect. He is after all still standing in Sheesh Mahal, and money along with respect was what he lost the day him and his sister were kicked out. He had to rely on Mami's assistance eventually to be able to build up a strong investment portfolio and a fashion house.

I also think Arnav used wealth and class as a reason to provoke Khushi. There are two types of people in middle class or lower classes. Those who take pride in their ability to not ask for help and earn their way through life, and those who would do anything for money. Funny how the damad of Malik's daughter is the one whose a gold digger.

But what is something poor girls have to prize more than their being? Their respect. And at the mention if his sister who Khushi made an assumption of existing, he is compelled to destroy everything about her.

badtamizi pe tou mein Abhi aya nahi hoon.

The way this show turned the dori and dupatta into a motif of what they actually are is beautiful to me. There's nothing romantic about preserving respect and dignity, but there is something powerful in someone's ability to be able to do so. Arnav ripping apart the pearls and having them scatter symbolises how his presence took the innocence away. From the release of this clip, there is no moment where Khushi's character doesn't come under question by either Arnav or Shyam. The pearl dori breaking also starts Arnav's journey of walking a path where he had to be apologise. He is going to be living with this guilt for at least the entirety of the year.

Back at Gupta House, everyone is concerned for Khushi except for Bua ji, who is definitely the one more concerned about appearances than Garima. Perhaps because for Garima, her husband is still present besides her. As much as I hate prioritising of appearances and the shame-based social approach of brown communities, it is something that unfortunately exists and our narratives exist within the existence of socially acceptable appearances.

Payal whose been asked concisely about Khushi doesn't budge but she decides to say something with her father returning. Perhaps because she also realises that the way she loves Khushi unconditionally and considers her as her closet confidant, Babuji also is accepting and understanding of Khushi's intentions even if they revert to a mistake. Payal's displeasure at Abhishek not speaking up for her also helps in being happy at Khushi's return and aiding Khushi afterwards as much as she could.

Shashi who had been apprehensive about dowry to begin with is relieved to see Khushi safe and sound, Garima who was adding by the norms of how girls family should behave was disappointed beyond words, and Bua ji was just straight up angry. I think Bua ji is the only character who despite loving Khushi, displays the bias in how she considers Payal to be perfect and Khushi to be imperfect.

While Khushi provides the explanation about going to meet the not-hone-wale jija ji, we do get an insight into why despite Manorama's objections and her own reservation on class issues, Payal agrees for Akash. Because Akash is honest about his feelings and about all that he hopes to provide. I have to say, the Gupta sisters have a really low bar for their men after having Shashi as a father. But honestly, don't we all just settle at crumbs half the time? It's truly a shame. -- Khushi admits her mistakes unless she's challenged or dared. and she doesn't hesitate in apologising except from Arnav. Khushi apologising is almost a norm for her character however Khushi apologising Arnav is not going to be one. I find that juxtaposition of how Khushi treats Arnav and him wanting apologies to be extremely hilarious! She forgives his gravers mistakes but not anything menial.

mat kaho humme amma!

oh, how it breaks Khushi's heart! Khushi is wholly accepted into her family even by Bua ji; so on the two occasions when she is reminded of her orphaned status, it crumbles her entire world. After all, she went to see Abhishek, Junior Engineer who wanted dowry for her step sister. She crosses over boundaries for those she loves and her family members are the people she repeatedly crosses these boundaries and social conventions for. Also in both the instances of Khushi being reminded about her orphaned status, Shashi and Payal are more understanding despite their disappointment or pain. They truly love Khushi whole-heartedly and perhaps unconditionally which is something that surprisingly Arnav does too even though the first marriage between the two was on the terms and conditions laid out by Arnav driven by his interpretation of Khushi’s betrayal.

The episode ends with Khushi opening up the sweet shop after being unable to sleep. I love the moonlight on both the girls face. It symbolises their inner turmoil and distress. With the divine clock on, the journey to rediscover themselves and them in love is going to rule the hearts of Gupta sisters.

hiiii S!! just a hypothetical question what do u think about absence of terrace scene what of arnav actually reached n proposed her n obviously his family is too eager to make her bahu of RM !Do u think in that case also khushi wud hv hid shyam's truth or shud wid hv come clean at least then?n if arnav wud come to know this after his mrge do u think he wud hv talked it out or wud hv thought worst of khushi?i can totally ignore this if u want...btw i m loving ur active presence on tumblr n insta..love u hamesha!

Hello dear @maansiloves

Khushi chose to hide the truth because revealing the truth would hurt Anjali - hence Arnav - and put her sister's marriage at risk. It would also hurt a pregnant Anjali.

If any of the above factors would change, only then Khushi would've told the truth. She was hell bent on telling Arnav the truth when Shyam harassed her on the terrace - however she stopped when she learned about Anjali's pregnancy.

If Arnav got to know after his 'happy' marriage with Khushi - we could see him taking great offense the way Akash did and it would have resulted in deep cracks in his and Khuhsi's relationship. I think if he had an established relationship with Khushi he would've given Khushi a chance to explain her side - it really depends on how does Arnav come to know the truth post marriage - and he would've been hurt that Khushi chose to keep quiet. It would damage the trust they have built on their relationship.

On a side note though, I would think both the sisters (Khushi and Payal) would feel tortured on not telling the truth about shyam to Arnav and Akash.

Thanks for the love <3 <3 <3 Also I hope you caught today's Sunday Samachaar

Desi Girl

Celebrating south asian women and their loud music, dance, clothes and jewelry

Although there are things in this song lyrically which stand against my judgement such as ‘desi women’ are more desirable than ‘foreign women’ - the way this song is shot (in the film and in the show) makes it a very sweet song celebrating south asian women. Especially them in an environment where there’s no one else like them.

I loved how Khushi knew how ‘other’ Payal was feeling in this crowd. Khushi has seen Arnav’s circle and his little regard into taking in other people’s likes and being sensitive to their environments. He only ever makes exception for his sister and grandmother. So she knew, even by the description of his party, that it’ll only make Payal feel isolated. 

Arnav, in his ego, does not see it. He catches on, slowly, that Akash and Payal are actually uncomfortable in his given party. Because he really didn’t do anything here that would celebrate the couple. Akash is comfortable - but his little standing comfort dissipates when he notices Payal’s discomfort. He’s stuck between feeling grateful that his cousin wants to celebrate the union - a union the same cousin made possible - and that his fiancée is feeling stifled in the party. 

Khushi changing the food and all was crossing boundaries - but we also saw that Arnav gave no room to anyone to speak about giving his sister-in-law a comfortable environment. Both Akash and Arnav expect at one point for Payal and Khushi to just become a part of their environments because they’re married. 

Khushi, though through her charm, changes the vibe to suit hers. Payal remains hidden in the corner unsure at every step of the way. Also it doesn’t help her that unlike Arnav - once married to Khushi really doesn’t care about his circle and only cares about his wife - Akash enjoys his circle and expects the mangalsutra to give Payal an overnight transformation. 

This one party gave me many, many feelings. The class difference, Khushi’s ability to keep her own discomfort aside to make the party better for Payal, the simmering hurt she keeps under wraps for the sake of her sister and her calling out Arnav’s hypocrisy. It traverses multiple emotions from comedy, entertainment to hurt at once. 

But above all I loved how Payal visibly relaxes, due to which Akash relaxes, and everyone enjoys the smash of entertainment Khushi brought along. 

And I love NK. I love how he mentioned this was her sister’s wedding too. And, how one can take your friend on a date and absolutely not want anything romantic in return. He’s smitten by Khushi - but that’s it. 

Ok I don’t know why this became an analysis of the cocktail party, lol.

Hello JALEBI😊How r u?

Between Emoji Anon & Smiley Anon,i like to be called smiley anon😄Thanks for ur answers😍

I have some confusion about one of the most favorite episodes 174🙈Why all of a sudden Arnav started saying that Khushi couldn't do all the works by her own? What kind of work was he indicating? And after repeating this line, what came to his mind that he kissed khuhsi?(aaaaaaaaaaaa that scene omg!)

(check this out for an important announcement on asks)

Hello Smiley Anon!!!

Lol I don't live in Arnav's head so I cannot give you second by second analysis but I can tell you what the whole vibe was about. Or at least what I thought it was! My own interpretations change every six months!

I guess Arnav was trying to take a step forward in their relationship. What better way then challenge considering they're both extremely comfortable when trying to get the upper hand?

(image credit: @phati-sari)

He wasn't literally indicating work. Many times when Khushi is overwhelmed by their proximity, she puts distance between them by stating she doesn't need help or she can do everything on her own.

Such as she can fish the bangle out of the pool by herself.

(credit: @phati-sari)

She could've danced on the stage by herself.

And Arnav realises why she keeps on saying she can do it by herself. It's her pride and attempt to deny what she's feeling (which is understandable).

Which is why he catches her dupatta and challenges that same proximity she's attempting to flee from.

He knows she can do everything by herself - he's really playing with the chemistry they're sharing. He repeats her word that challenges their proximity.

That she can do everything alone. Which she needn't do when he's around. Or that she could do everything that he could.

And if that's the case, could she take a step further into their relationship when he can? He has been taking a step forward - from dancing with her to complimenting her. To telling her hi and finding opportunities to speak. But she has taken a hundred steps behind, can barely speak and is adorably frazzled at his presence.

So, at the end of the day, he knows he can take a step forward by kissing her cheek - revealing a part of his desire which she mirrors - so, could Khushi take a step forward as well?

Could she kiss him back?

Of course Arnav doesn't realise at all that Khushi was hesitant because of Diwali.

(credit: indi)

She desired to be kissed and it left to her being rejected so there's no way she'd give more of herself to him when she doesn't know if there are more serious grounds to Arnav's claims.

Which is what she also tells him when he opens her hair suddenly, that even though she allows Arnav to take certain liberties - he must never assume her consent to everything he wants.

(credit: @phati-sari)

Of course things change when she realizes that Arnav wasn't taking more liberties with her by opening her hair, he was just trying to cover her back. He understands her, her boundaries, and what an open dori means - her modesty.

Also one very important thing about that scene is that it's not just about Arnav's pleasure. It's not only about him wanting a kiss. It's about them. Kissing her on the cheek, on the poolside, is a semi closure to the 'kiss that never happened' on Diwali. A part of them has been waiting on what ifs of that night. It's important to remember that Khushi desires Arnav and that's being reciprocated.

Have a wonderful day ahead!
