Khushi realizes
what she just said and feels a bit taken aback and later leaves the room. Outside, Buaji is telling Anjali that she
wants to tie a raksha daga on Arnav before the roka ceremony tomorrow but
Anjali tells her that Arnav does not believe in all of this. All the while, Arnav is listening. The family gets up to leave and NK states
that they will all see them tomorrow for the roka ceremony. After leaving, Buaji talks to Khushi about wanting
to tie the raksha daga on Arnav and Khushi too says the same thing as
Anjali. Khushi points out that Arnav
loves and respects them a lot and they should make him do something he is not
comfortable doing. Arnav listens in as
Buaji teases Khushi about being in love with Arnav. He comes back in asking for his phone and him
and Khushi say their goodbyes.
Garima finally
returns home and Buaji and Khushi ask her why she was out for so long as Dadi
was constantly asking for her. Nervous,
Garima says that she couldn't find the medicine so she had to go somewhere
further. She asks if everything went
okay and Buaji says yes. She also
informs her of the roka ceremony tomorrow and Garima again becomes nervous and
panicky and rushes into the room to give Babuji his medicines. Arnav can't seem to sleep so he decides to
call Khushi but realizes that she too must be asleep. Khushi on the other hand is wide awake and
places a picture of Arnav over Salman Khan's picture. After staring at the moon, she begins talking
to the poster, asking for Arnav's picture to smile now and he telepathically
complies. The next day, everyone is
arriving to the Raizada house for the roka ceremony. Buaji and Khushi arrive and Dadi questions
them on why her parents have not come.
Everyone gathers around and Arnav takes Khushi's hand and leads her to
the pink stage set-up. Arnav then tells
her to stand to his right, in order to follow the rituals. Arnav then tells her what is going to happen
and everyone is looking at him shocked.
They all are surprised that he knows about all the rituals and what to
do. As Buaji puts a tikka on Arnav, he
tells she's forgetting one more thing.
He puts out his right hand and tells her to tie the raksha daga, which
makes her very happy. Khushi can't
believe that Arnav is following all of the rituals and he pinches her to prove
she's not dreaming. All this is being
watched on CCTV by Shyam in a secluded location. Arnav and Khushi then exchange rings and
Arnav tells Khushi that they've completed this ritual before. He tells her about the time he bandaged her
finger in front of the mandir and states to her that she's been his since
then. Just then, people with dhols come
in and music begins to play, with the family joining in to dance. Shyam takes this opportunity to sneak into
Anjali's room to do something. After
watching her dance, Arnav takes Khushi's hand and leads her upstairs.
Buaji is trying to
talk to the Dadi but she continues to complain about her parents not being
here. Akash tells Dadi that the function
would be too stressful for Babuji and that he suggested they stay home and
rest. Arnav leads Khushi to the poolside
and corners her to a wall. She asks what
he is doing and says that he is just looking at her since he won't be able to
see her after the haldi. Khushi says
that Anjali may come by and Arnav kisses her on the forehead, saying let her
come. She then says Dadi may come and he
again kisses her on her cheek, saying let her come. She then says Buaji may come and he kisses
her on her other cheek, saying let her come.
As he is about to kiss her on the lips, she says Aman's phone may come,
to which he responds "let it come" and then "what". She jokes around that Aman may need something
and Arnav tells Khushi that she should write a book, "100 ways to ruin
romantic moments by Khushi Kumari Gupta" and she chimes in with Singh
Raizada.
What worked:
All the cute Arshi moments. Whether it
was them saying goodbye, their evening telepathic conversation or him pinching
her, it was all cute. Looking back a
year ago, who would have ever thought that these two would ever have a decent
conversation without yelling at each other, let alone fall in love. Speaking of love, ever since Arnav fell in
love, he has changed his behaviour not only towards Khushi, but also towards
his family, from agreeing to do all the rituals for the wedding to allowing
Buaji to tie the raksha daga on him.
What didn't work:
The pace of the story. It seems like the
story is moving really fast and I don't really mind it. However, it would be nice if they took their
time with Arnav and Khushi's wedding since it is the one things the fans want
to see.
Highlight: Arnav and Khushi's poolside romance. Arnav in love = naughty Arnav. Arnav has a new hobby nowadays, romancing his wife any chance he gets. We saw the return of the flirtatious and naughty Arnav, with the way he kissed her cheeks and dared to ask anyone to bother them. Though leave to Khushi to be the mood killer, reminding him of their most infamous interruption; that phone of his. Throughout it all, it is by far one of the best romantic scenes of the show.
