Episdoe Review: August 6th, 2012


Mami is walking around, worried at the fact that Arnav's Dadi escaped from the Aashram.  Payal and NK are wondering why she is so nervous and jumpy.  Khushi is seen watering Arnav's plants.  Mami tells NK and Payal that Arnav's Dadi is very strict, as she only likes pure Hindi and is very picky at the littlest things.  Khushi informs Mami that she is going to water the plants outside.  As she walks towards the front door, a women is seen climbing the stairs to the Raizada house.  As Khushi gets to the front door, she spots a lizard on the door and is frightened.  She ends up throwing the bucket of water on the women who entered the house at the same time.  NK and Payal rush to Khushi after hearing her scream and she tells them she had seen a lizard.  When Mami comes there, she drops her mobile as she is shocked to who she sees; Arnav's grandmother.  NK, Payal and Khushi are also shocked.  Mami attempts to tell the Dadi that Arnav and Nani are out and Anjali has gone to the mandir.  When Khushi approaches her to help wipe the water off her, she accidently slips and holds onto her arm.  The Dadi removes Khushi's arm and asks Mami if the servants of the house know their status.  After she leaves to her room, NK tells Mami that she should not have allowed her to call Khushi a servant but Mami tells him that she is not going to be the one to tell the Dadi about Arnav getting married secretly.  In the kitchen, Payal and Khushi are talking about the fact that they did not know that Arnav had a grandmother.  She tells Khushi to go give the Dadi the milk.  Khushi questions herself on whether or not she really knows the person she loves so much.  Khushi goes to give the Dadi her milk and sees that she is praying.  She knocks on the door and thinks that she probably couldn't hear the knock, so she decides to enter the room.  Before she can, the Dadi stops her with a hand signal and motions for her to leave.  After her prayers, the Dadi tells Mami that she does not take things from any servants.  She is then shocked to see Khushi by the mandir area, prepping for the pooja.  Just as Khushi is placing items on the pooja thali, the Dadi removes it and reminds Mami that servants are not allowed near the mandir area and motions for Khushi to leave.  Just then, the door bell rings.  Khushi goes to answer it and she finds Anjali there who is surprised to see Khushi looking upset.  Just then, she hears Dadi's voice and finds it familiar.  When she enters, she sees Dadi and is overcome with emotion.  She flashes back to her wedding day and someone walking away.  She goes up to Dadi and hugs her, asking her where she has been and how she and Arnav had tried to meet her so many times.  Dadi asks Anjali how she is and even asks how Shyam is. 

Upon hearing Shyam, Anjali is overcome with emotion and begins to cry.  She quickly leaves from their and returns to her room leaving a shocked look and Dadi's face and a tensed look and the rest of the family.  Dadi goes to Anjali's room and Anjali begins to cry on her lap.  She informs Dadi that everything is ruined and nothing is right anymore.  Anjali tells Dadi that she missed her so much and wondered where she had gone after that night.  The Dadi tells her not to worry anymore as she has now arrived and everything will be okay.  Downstairs, everyone is tensed on what Anajli and Dadi's conversation will be.  Just then, Anjali and Dadi begin to come down the stairs.  It is at this time that Arnav and Nani return home too.  Arnav tells Nani not to worry and that he will inform the police of her missing.  Just then, Arnav and Nani and Anjai and Dadi spot each other, with them all shocked at the fact that she is in their house.


What worked: N/A

What didn't work: N/A

Highlight: Mami scared of the Dadi.  Mami has been seen having certain fears; the dark, strange noises and weird events occurring.  To see how frightened she is of Dadi was hilarious, especially her reaction to when she saw her.  I'm not mad at Mami for not correcting the Dadi on the fact that Khushi is not a servant.  Mami is dead scared of the women and anyone who is that scared of someone will definitely not try to correct them.

The episode was good overall, with a new twist occurring.  With the entrance of the Dadi, we see suspense brewing as to what she knows and why all of a sudden she has returned home.  Just like most of the family members, she knows about an incident that occurred some 14/15 years ago and just like Arnav, refuses to speak about it.  Her entrance has definitely sparked interest into what Arnav's past is and if her entrance means Shyam's return.

What do you think the Dadi's entrance into the house has in store for the family?
