Shyam states that
he only signed the papers to get Khushi off his back as he didn't know what she
would do if he didn't. He tells Anjali
that Khushi has been after him for a long time and always found excuses to be
around him. Payal tells Shyam to stop
blaming others for his own faults and informs him that her and Khushi have only
stayed this quiet for Anjali's sake and for the sake of the family's
happiness. She tells the family that for
months, Shyam stayed at their house as a paying guest, lied about being single
and even got engaged to Khushi. Khushi
tells Anjali that she never wanted the truth to come out like this and only
kept quiet for the sake of the family's peace and happiness. Arnav sees his sister's condition
deteriorating and begins to take her out of the room when Shyam stops him. Shyam asks Payal to provide engagement photos
as proof but she says they don't have any because their father was very ill at
the time. He then begins to work on
Akash saying that both the sisters are out to destroy the family. Shyam then questions Payal on why she stayed
to quiet for so long and before she can answer he says that she stayed quiet
because she didn't want her marriage to break.
Shyam continues to spin his words and make it look like Khushi and Payal
are lying while Khushi and Payal struggle to get the family to believe them. Shyam then stoops to a new low by telling
Khushi to stop dreaming about a life with a married man. When Khushi states that she can't bear to be
around Shyam, he asks her why she was always around him for the last few days;
from feeding kheer to wanting to destroy Arnav.
NK states that Khushi was lying to him the whole time to earn his trust so
she could find Arnav. Shyam asks Khushi
if its true that she said she wanted to destroy Arnav. When she says yes, it shocks Arnav but she
claims she only said that in order to win Shyam's trust. Shyam also calls her characterless and a
person who will do anything for their benefit.
She begs Arnav to believe her as he knows that she could never do
anything like this. She tells him that
yes she has no solid evidence against Shyam but asks Arnav to look into her
eyes to see her honesty which will show what is right and what is wrong. Arnav approaches both Khushi and Shyam and
then slaps him, stating that this slap was for lying and betraying his
sister. He then slaps him again, this
time for misbehaving with his wife.
Arnav goes on to state that his sister and his wife are the two most
important people in his life and that Shyam made a mistake by hurting
them. He then tells Shyam to get out of
the house and when he fails to leave on his own accord, Arnav begins to drag
him out. Shyam stops him, asking him how
dare he do this to him, to which Arnav responds that he has not shown Shyam
what he could do and that if he does show him what he could do, Shyam would be
spending the rest of his miserable life in jail. Before throwing him out of the house, he
tells him to thank Anjali's prayers that he is letting him go in this state.
Today was a power packed episode with a lot going
on. We have several secrets coming out, Khushi
and Payal's reputations being stained, Arnav finally reacting to everything
going on and Shyam's endless excuses. I
definitely commend Abhaas Metha on his performance today. Since the shows inception, he has definitely
played the role of the evil Shyam brilliantly, making us hate him more and more
each day. Even though today's episode
revealed a lot about Shyam and his past, it also leaves a lot of unanswered
questions and the possibility of new misunderstandings.
What worked: The
revealing of past secrets. Having the
engagement secret come out allowed for Shyam to dig his own grave. For him to deny the engagement, even though
Payal and Arnav know about it, put loopholes in his excuses. Also, for him to say that Khushi was always
after him and that he loves only Anjali showed Arnav what a disgusting liar he
is as he knows the truth (from the terrace scene and what Shyam told him
afterward). Shyam dug his own grave and
with two slaps, Arnav helped him lay in it.
What didn't work:
The constant begging and pleading for the family members to believe them. It got repetitive to a point that I actually
wanted the family not to believe them and then in the future, realize that
Khushi, Payal and NK were right all along.
Highlight:
Payal defending Khushi. Yes, Arnav's
words and two slaps were powerful but Payal's defense of Khushi was more
powerful. It showed that just like
Khushi, she herself would do anything for her sister, including having her own
reputation stained. Payal has kept quiet
for a long time and has seen that Khushi has made several sacrifices for her
happiness. She couldn't bear to see
Khushi in anymore pain and decided to finally end the silence. Payal bravely stood in the line of fire for
Khushi and even took on Shyam for her, something a true sister would do. Today, Payal has shown that Khushi will
always have a support in her, no matter what happens here on after.
