Episode Review: September 21st, 2012



Khushi brings a pile of saris to Payal's room and Payal asks her if she knows what the guys are up to.  Khushi informs her they are hosting a bachelor's party and knows that they'll have fun.  Payal tells Khushi that the bachelor's party is not what she thinks it is.  She tells her how at that party, there'll be other girls (not them), dancing and even alcohol.  Khushi is shocked to hear this and can't believe she said yes to Arnav having a bachelor's party.  She vows that if this party comes true, she won't spare him at all.  NK and Akash are seen drinking in the farmhouse (just the two of them) when Payal and Khushi walk in.  Akash is stunned to see Payal there and pretends to act like nothing happened.  Khushi begins to yell at NK on how he could plan such a party like this.  NK thanks her for the compliment, mainly because he is drunk. Akash questions Payal on why they are here and she drags him home to give him a piece of her mind.  Khushi then turns her attention to NK and demands to know where Arnav is.  NK doesn't quite tell her exactly until she raises her hands to strangle him.  Scared of her, he points to a room that Arnav is in.  There, Khushi sees a shadow of Arnav with a girl.  She storms into the room and begins searching for the other girl.  Arnav asks her what she is looking for and she demands to know where the "witch" is.  She tells him that she never thought he'd have this kind of party and he reminds her how it was her who said to go to the party and have fun.  He then shows her a manikin bust of a girl and asks her if she really thought he could do anything like this.  She realizes that he was playing around with her and she is shocked to hear that the party didn't happen.  She tell him that he scared her but he says that she has to be punished for ruining his bachelor's party.  He approaches Khushi and whispers something in her ear but she refuses to do it.  Arnav tells her it's no pressure and approaches her again for a kiss, but she pushes him away, causing him to fall on the bed.  A few minutes later, Khushi appears, dressed in a black sari.  She then dances to the song "Namek Ishq ka" in front of him.  She tries to dance in a sultry way but she either trips or goes back to her fun dancing style.  Just then, she bumps into him and the two fall onto the bed.

Arnav asks her the real reason as to why she came here and she tells him that only she has rights on him and no one else does.  He asks her what she'll do if someone else comes close to him and she tells him that she'll kill the girl.  He then tells her he wants to show her something and takes her into another room.  They enter a dark room with a white blanket placed on the floor.  He asks her to sit and lay back with him.  She's nervous with what's about to happen next but he turns on the projector and a space like view is shown on the ceiling via projector.  Khushi is surprised at what she sees and asks how he did this.  He tells her he got the idea from her, every time she was thinking about her parents.  He tells her that now the two of them will be able to see their parents.  He points up and shows her where their mothers are and Khushi asks him what he thinks they are talking about and says they are probably saying how lucky we are to have found true love.  Arnav asks her how she knows it's true love and she says that because every time there is a tear in her eye, it hurts his heart several times.  The two then talk about the time they spoke to each other through the stars when Arnav was kidnapped and realize they both are really weird.  Just then, Arnav's leg hit the projector switch and it turns off.  Just as Khushi is about to get up, he pulls her back down and kisses her hand.  He moves closer to her for a kiss and notices she uneasy.  He apologizes, remembering that she won't do certain things until after marriage but Khushi reassures him and says she trusts in his love.

As the two share a hug, Arnav asks her to promise him to never leave him.  He tells her that he can't live without her.  Khushi reassures him she will never leave his side and gently kisses his cheek.  He then removes her bangles and kisses her arm and moves closer to her before she shy's away.  He continues to move closer to her and she ends up hugging him.  He carefully unties the string on her blouse and then lightly kisses her forehead.  As he moves in to kiss her, he says something to Khushi and she says she knows.  The two then share their first kiss.  The next day at the Gupta house, Khushi wakes up remembering the romance she shared with Arnav the night before.  She prays to Devi Mayya asking for everything to be okay as today is a big day for her.  She then realizes that today is her wedding day.




What worked: The love between Arnav and Khushi.  The pure, simple and passionate love between Arnav and Khushi was shown at its best in this episode from her crashing the party to them sharing their first kiss.  Khushi and Arnav are unique, different and odd.  They don’t do things normal couples would, like crash your husband’s bachelor party while he plays with your mind for a little while.  The scene where Arnav shows Khushi the projected stars was beautiful.  He created for her a remote world of her own, just like he did with his garden.  He even shows her where their mothers are, fully believing in the stars.  They have their own way of expressing their love, their own way of teasing each other and their own way of fighting with each other.  This passionate and intense yet pure love of theirs is what sets them apart from other on screen couples. 

What didn't work: N/A

Highlight: Arnav to Khushi: "Promise me you won't leave me.  I can't live without you."  Arnav’s biggest fear was finally admitted; being left alone by the person you love the most.  Throughout the last few episodes, Arnav has constantly got Khushi to promise him to never leave him but today, his reason behind those promises were revealed.  He can’t live without her.  Khushi has become his soul, his breath, his reason for living.  Without her, he feels empty, incomplete and lost.  She has become a critical part of his life that losing her for a minute will feel like an eternity.  Barun and Sanaya executed this scene fabulously, displaying the perfect emotions.  With this performance, they have taken the characters of Arnav and Khushi to new heights.
