Qurbaan Hua ~ Episode 5-9: Of IVF Being Horrible, Windchimes, Cunning Aunties and Disgusting Husbands

Gonna dive right in

Episode 5

Mans has gone from “me and Meera have been dating for 6 months” to screaming “I LOVE YOU MEERA” at the top of the mountain

Time for another coincidance - it’s purnima so he’s going to go ask for a mannat and on this day different people from different faiths go to this certain place for their wishes and prayers - and we all know what that means

Also now that I’ve watched a few episodes, I have to say I really like the styling for Chahat they’ve given her a mix of ethnic and western wear and the fancy clothes she wears are really pretty (so far) and I hope it stays this way

I am a complete slut for mannat scenes and this one was very pure

Why can’t these people say Saraswati, it isn’t that hard

Also it’s 2020, surely it’s time we understand just because a woman is pregnant doesn’t mean she’s disabled and needs to be carried everywhere

Also, Naveli (Anjali2.0 and Neil’s cousin) is superrr suss

SHE TAPED HIS FACE OMG IM MORE IMPRESSED BY HER BY EVERY MINUTE

And she’s given him meds to give to the people he interacts with coz he causes them headaches (and he’s held onto it the whole time coz Pehle Pyaar Ka Pehla Tohfa)

Awww our OTP has ‘Bhags stamp of approval’

They’ve also touched her feet how cute

Episode 6

So Ghazala has ruined Chahat’s mum’s sharara and like this is what I mean they’ve written her horribly, like why would someone go out of their way to hurt a kid like that - her mother’s dead what more does she want

And daddy dearest has another pooja to attend so he’s said no to attending his daughter’s baby shower, something Neil is now salty about

For a doctor, Chahat’s dad is quite daft

And for a pandit, Neil’s dad is quite mean

Nice touch by Ghazala by turning this whole thing on Chahat, and thankfully her dad believes her

Episode 7

So this Kamini wannabe of a mami has said that Saraswati’s baby is najayaz, and at this point I really have got to ask - how the fuck did she jump to that conclusion?????

Apparently coz she was barren for 8 years, so how can she be pregnant now, so something must be up

The logic fails me here, IF SHE WAS BARREN/WAS UNABLE TO GET PREGNANT, HOW TF IS THE CHILD ILLEGITIMATE???

OMFLLLLLL SHE’S SAYING THAT COZ THE CHILD WAS CONCEIVED FROM IVF, THAT’S WHY IT’S ILLEGITIMATE

I CANNOT

I’M SO CLOSE TO QUITTING

DO THESE DUMBASS PEOPLE NOT REALISE THAT AN IVF BABY IS ALSO A BLESSING IN ITSELF, IT’S NOT 100% GUARANTEED TO GET YOU PREGNANT EITHER BUT IT HELPS

By this logic they shouldn’t use annnnyyyy modern technology

I understand Neil now, and why he’s so done with this bullshit

YAAASSS NEIL, GO FUCK THEM UP

Look Chahat, I love you and all, but like listen to Neil when it comes to his crazy psychotic family

Also do not tell me like the Oberoi family, this whole family cannot have 1 smooth sailing function/party

We love a sibling duo that had to raise each other because their parents were dead/useless

I’m so fucking done, now not only does your doctor have to be of the same religion, he/she has to be from the same caste

YEH DOCTOR DHOOND RAHE HAI KE RISHTA

Neil’s trying to talk some sense to these people, but as usual, he gets shut down for talking sense

OMG HE’S COME OUT WITH FACCSSSS AND HAS GIVEN HIS DAD AN ULTIMATUM - His daughter or his dharm

Also by saying that if he’s so for modern technologies in other areas, why is he against iVF

Omg daddy pandit finally got some sense - this was an exhausting feat

Poor tacky Kamini, unlike the og, this one’s plans always fall short

Neil, take Saraswati and just get the fuck out of here, this dumbass mami has come with a plan and is not going to rest until one of these kids gets disowned

Episode 8

So Vyasji in a twisted turn of events has accepted Neil’s gf, as long as their kundlis meet

Let’s be real their stars ain’t aligning in this life

Chahat is talking to her mother through this windchime she made with her mother’s jhumke (I guess its a coping mechanisms) about how she’s gotten a cake ordered and needs to pick it up

The windchime has told her that she needs to learn how to cook to get married

Basically even if your Indian mother is dead, her ghost will still taunt you on your inability to get married even when you are a doctor

She has decided she will marry a chef so that she doesnt need to learn how to cook

The foreshadowing, the cluelessness

Omg Neil’s dad writes with ink and a peacock feather (why did I think this man would write with a pen like a normal person)

He’s literally whipped out a chart and started making Neil’s (ex)gf’s kundli RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS DAUGHTER’S BABY SHOWER BECAUSE #priorities

Anjali2.0 is literally sitting there praying as if Vyasji is sitting there calculating her Year 12 results and not a kundli

And we’ve got an “asambhav”, but we all knew that - Neil’s literally smirking coz he knew no matter what, the stars won’t align

Omlll he’s inherited the whole “I write my own destiny” from Arnav

“Main uss ladko ko kabhi nahi apnaunga” “Toh kya faraq padta hai, main usse apna chuka hoon” Boisss I really like this dude

I wish I had this confidence but alas, I do not

And Neil has decided to leave the chat, go to Delhi and get married there, while giving everyone a fuck you (except his sister ofcourse)

Little does he know he isn’t even gonna make it to the bloody bus stand before he ends back here

Anjali2.0 is begging her dad to stop him, but he’s talking about the stars and shit

And right on cue Chahat and Neil are walking on the same bridge, none of them paying attention, they crash and just like that, the cake has fallen into the deep sea, adding to the pollution

OMGG THIS MAN TOLD HER HOW ALL DADS ARE USELESS AND SHE GOES “oh hello, tumhe bohot saare childhood issues hai, lekin mere baba aise nahi hai ... woh mere liye taare bhi tod sakte hai”

THIS IS WHY WE NEEDED A FEMALE LEAD IN THE MEDICAL FIELD - SHE UNDERSTOOD WITHIN 2-3 MEETINGS HOW FUCKED UP OUR DUDE IS

and now he’s sarcastically congratulating her on her father because “aur ek mere baba hai jo hamesha taaron mein uljhe rehte hai, aur vaise tumhe tumhaare taare todne waale baba, bohot, bohot, bohot hi ziada mubarak”

LOLLL SHE’S PULLING AND DRAGGING HIM TO GET HER THE SAME CAKE AND HE TRIED TO GIVE HER MONEY TO BUY A NEW ONE, AND SHE’S LIKE NOPE, THE BAKERY I GET THIS FROM IS CLOSED AND SO YOU WILL PROVIDE ME WITH A NEW CAKE

Lolll I never knew he will be stuck here because of a cake

AND NOW SHE’S TAKEN HIS BAG AS HOSTAGE AND HE’S LITERALLY SCREAMING THAT SHE’S LOST THE PLOT

But personally, I feel she gained it

Turns out the shop that she got the cake from, is his friend’s shop, and now he’s baking the cake himself because my man is also a pastry chef

And he’s friend has left the chat because he doesnt want to get beaten up

So it’s time for the kitchen romance.tm

Omg he told her he’s a chef and she’s so turned on

OMGGGGGGG IM DEDDD

But should’t she tie her hair #justsaying

Now back to the Neil’s crazy fam, where the only other person with sense, Anjali2.0 has also said to her dad, that Neil was always right about him

Yesss gurlll, give it back to him

She’s telling him off how he forego his religious beliefs for her, but why can’t he do the same for Neil

I actually like her so much and the way she’s written

She’s also telling him how she tried to make sure that Neil never felt their mother’s absence (a responsibility she didn’t to take up), because her dad never let Neil feel loved

OMG SIS SAID THAT BY BEING HEAD PRIEST, YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN YOUR DUTY AS A FATHER AND SHE DID NOT STUTTER

Everyone is shook (including me)

I was not expecting her to give her father an ultimatum

So she said, that if he does not give Neil and Meera his blessing, he will see her dead

OMGGG WHYYYAYFOIHFBEI THE ANXIETY

Episode 9

We’ve begun with some cuteness regarding her rubbing flour all over face

And like the idiot he is, he’s told her that her face is completely clean

OMGGG HE’S GUIDING HER HANDS

HOLY SHIT SISSS IS ALREADY IMAGINING HERSELF BEING MARRIED TO HIM

Like same, but I also cannot

Also I’m lolling at the fact she’s imagining their Nikaah, like his family won’t kill him for that

OMG THIS DICKHEAD HAS GIVEN THE CAKE HE MADE FOR HER DAD TO THE GAREEB CHILDREN LIKE SHE GAVE HIS SANGORIA TO THE GAREEB CHILDREN

Awww I spoke too soon, she left the cake at the shop and he was just messing with her

Guysss I really love their chemistry

He said that he won’t sit behind her, coz he doesn’t sit behind girls *rolls eyes*, but she’s not having it and reminded him that she beat him in a motorcycle race so he should suck it up

And they’ve had their first ‘accidental’ pressed up on each other fall

A trope I do love with all my heart

NOW HE’S COVERING HIS CHEST LIKE HIS IZZAT HAS BEEN LOOTED

I’m hoping that Shyam1.5 isn’t as bad as his predecessors, but I do realise that is wishful thinking coz the couple scene where he talks to Saraswati was quite sweet

OMG THERE’S AN INTRUDER IN THEIR HOUSE AND I REALLY DON’T WANT SARASWATI TO GO CHECK, AND I’M FREAKING OUT

She’s found Naveli’s earrings on the ground, Shyam1.5 and her are having an affair aren’t they

I FUCKING KNEW THAT NAVELI WAS SUSS AND SO WAS THIS HARAMKHOR SHYAM1.5

I AM SO GROSSED OUT RN, WHAT IS SHE 10 YEARS OR MORE YOUNGER THAN HIM

OMG HE’S ACTUALLY YUCK, LIKE SHYAM WAS YUCK BUT AT LEAST KHUSHI WASN’T HIS SAALI

AND WHAT TYPE OF COUSIN DOES THAT

Saraswati please go fuck him up

OMG OMG OMG YEH PADA THAPPAD!!!!!!!

Well that’s another week done

Hi PS, first things first I LOVED the TKM-os!! Also I just finished watching the kidnap-track, I would love to know your thoughts about the telepathic conversation Arnav and Khushi have right after the teri-meri dance hallucination. Some of the things they say are almost exactly what they said in the lift promo and I find that interesting! (I absolutely love your analysis of everything, sorry for bothering you! I hope you are well)

Hello :)

YAY! I’m so glad that you liked it :D I love it!!

I’m so flattered that you like the analysis :) :) You’re not bothering me, honestly!!

The thing I love about this sequence is actually the scene immediately preceding it. Shyam sits at a poolside and talks to himself, promising Khushi that soon he will fulfil all her dreams, kick Arnav out of her life, and become the person who is closest to her.

The scene cuts to Khushi, at her and Arnav’s poolside (thus proving there is more than one poolside in Shantivan), and we get the hallucination and telepathic conversation.

And of course, it’s Arnav who’s the closest to her, Arnav who shares her heartbeat (though it was Shyam who introduced their dhak-dhak!), Arnav who is connected to her via the moon and stars, Arnav who almost kissed her on Diwali, who returned her payal, who kissed her cheek. These flashbacks are of moments that occurred at the poolside she now stands in and speak to intimacy and physical desires.

The hallucination

I love that ‘Teri Meri’ plays during the hallucination because it solidifies my theory that the first ‘Teri Meri’ was also a hallucination. I love their outfits – the white of purity and innocence. Plus her blue choli evokes the red choli she married him in.

I love the fairy lights because fairy lights are so meaningful to both of them. I love that the setting is the warehouse Arnav is being kept in and not the poolside at Shantivan – it looks like he’s pulled her into his fantasy rather than skip over to hers.

Sobti’s lip-syncing is so awful.

Because it’s a hallucination, he touches her the way he probably always wants to touch her. His hands on her waist, once, twice. And then she walks away, which for me, evokes all the times she tried to leave him (her resignation, leaving for Lucknow, leaving after Diwali). Then she disappears while he’s holding her, evoking the terrace scene – she was never there in the first place, never his to have.

Her sudden return and hug from behind evoke their brief reunion – it was their first proper embrace. When she adds her voice to the song it seems she’s finally on the same page as he is, finally singing the same tune.

For another time: Compare and contrast to the way he reacts when she hugs him like this in reality.

Arnav hugs her in the way he always holds her, one hand on her waist and the other in her hair, and when she leaves at the end, it’s clear that she doesn’t want to.

The telepathic conversation

That Rabba Ve at the end of Episode 277 gets me every time, the way it crescendos without warning. I dislike that it was replaced it with Kyun Dard Hai Itna in Episode 278 because I’ve never agreed with the decision to retire Rabba Ve for Kyun Dard Hai Itna.

Their telepathy has been building since that rainy encounter in the AR carpark, after which they sneezed together. They’ve coughed together, felt each other’s presence, and felt one another’s distress (when she got engaged to Shyam and when he was kidnapped).

And now the stars that she’s designated to their parents connect them.

A: “Khushi sun sakti ho mujhe? Can you hear me?” [Khushi, can you hear me?]K: “Hamesha.” [Always.]A: “Tum taare dekh rahi ho na?” [You’re looking at the stars, aren’t you?]K: “Aapke aur hamare Amma Babuji ko dekh rahi hoon.” [I’m looking at our parents.]A: “Hamare parents ko? Tumhe pata hai agar mujhse yeh baat kisi ne ek saal pehle kahi hoti toh main uspe vishwaas nahi karta. Lekin aaj … ab mujhe lagta hai ki yeh baat sach hai.” [Our parents? You know if someone had said that to me a year ago I wouldn’t have believed them. But today … now I think it’s true.]K: “Humne aapse tab bhi kaha tha na? Baat sach ya jhoot ki nahi hai. Baat vishwaas ki hai. Ek atoot vishwaas.” [I told you that time, didn’t I? It isn’t about truth or falsehood. It’s about faith. One unbreakable belief.]A: “Tumne mujhe iss vishwaas pe vishwaas dilwaya.” [You made me have faith in this belief.]

I love that Arnav’s faith in these stars has grown since the night in the gazebo when she first mentioned them.

A: “Kya kar diya Khushi tumne mere saath? Itni koshish ki maine, itni zyaada koshish ki maine, tumse nafrat kar sakoon. Par main tumse nafrat kar hi nahi paya. Mera khud ka dil meri baat nahi maanta.” [What have you done to me, Khushi? I tried, I tried so hard to hate you. But I couldn’t hate you. My own heart wouldn’t listen to me.]K: “Aur humne kitni koshish ki aapse pyaar na karne ke liye. Lekin hamare dil ne bhi hamari baat nahi maani.” [And I tried so hard not to love you. But my heart didn’t listen to me either.]

This is actually a reversal of what they said in the promo! In the promo she said “I wish I could hate you” and he said “I wish I could love you”, and now the same sentiment is conveyed from the opposite angle – “I tried so hard not to love you” and “I tried so hard to hate you”. And they spoke in the opposite order to the promo, so it’s a very clever mirroring.

A: “You know, Khushi, main … main jab bhi tumhare paas hota hoon, hamesha tumse door jaane ki jaldi mein rehta hoon. Lekin jaise hi tumse door jaata hoon, hamesha tumhare paas aane ko khayal aata hai. I dont need anything else, Khushi. I don’t need anything.” [You know, Khushi, I … whenever I’m with you, I’m always in a hurry to get away. But as soon as I’m away from you, I always want to be with you. I dont need anything else, Khushi. I don’t need anything.]

This is another clever mirroring, now of her monologue when he first went missing. She spoke about always fighting with him when he was around and then missing him when he was gone.

Arnav slipping into English is a clever touch – he seems to think in English and actively translates in his mind, so in moments of stress or extreme emotion he forgets to translate – “She’s beautiful”, “What the f–”, “Khushi, I love you”, “That I love you dammit”

K: “Aap paas raho ya door, lekin ho toh hamare saath hi na? Yeh dooriyan hamare rishte ko kamzor nahi bana sakti. Kyunki hum ek doosre ko sun sakte hain, mehsoos kar sakte hain, ek doosre se baatein kar sakte hain. Abhi bhi hum baat hi toh kar rahe hain na? Aap hamare saath hain, aur bahot jald hum aapko wapas le aayenge. Yeh hamara aapse vaada hai, Arnav-ji.” [Whether you’re close to me or far away, you’re always with me, right? These separations can’t weaken our bond. Because we can hear each other, feel each other, speak to each other. We’re speaking to one another right now, aren’t we? You’re with me, and I’ll bring you back very soon. This is my promise to you, Arnav-ji.]

Their dhak-dhak is added here, a physical manifestation of what she’s talking about. It’s the closest they’ve come to acknowledging their connection, with the other memorable occasion being on the day of their mehendi function.

K: “Aap sun sakte hain? Hamare dil ki dhadkan.” [Can you hear it? My heartbeat?]A: “Haan. Hamesha.” [Yes. Always.]

This mirrors how she answered his question so that their conversation ends just like it began.

This sequence is a contradiction to what Shyam was saying at the poolside. It’s Arnav who fulfils her dreams, Arnav who she wants by her side forever, and Arnav who is so close to her that he can hear her heartbeats and thoughts.
