Everyone is looking
at Anjali, shocked at what she just asked for.
Arnav tries to explain to Anjali that what she wants is not possible but
she won't hear any of it. She tells
Arnav that she accepted everyone of his decisions and never said anything
against him because she loved him but today, he will have to agree to what she
wants. Anjali ends up passing out and
the family takes her back to her room.
There, Dadi again emphasizes the need to bring Shyam back to the house
and states that even Anjali has asked for him to return. As he leaves the room, Arnav reiterates that
Shyam will never return to the house and Akash and Mami wonder if Arnav is
making the right decision, based on Anjali's current condition. Nani and Dadi then have a conversation over
the issue where Dadi states that whatever happened 14 years ago is happening
again, but this time Khushi is the other woman.
She blames Anjali's current situation on Khushi but Nani defends Khushi
saying she was not at fault at all. Dadi
recalls the time she met the other woman but the audience does not see her
face. Nani tells Dadi not to compare
Khushi to the other woman but Dadi refuses to listen and leaves. Later that evening, Arnav is reflecting over
the events that just occurred; thinking about how Anjali lost her baby to how
she asked for Shyam back to what Shyam told Arnav the night of Payal and
Akash's wedding. Angry, he throws a vase
to the floor, which startles Khushi who walks in. She quietly begins to pick up the pieces and
Arnav, realizing what he just did, calms himself down and helps her pick up the
pieces. He asks her if she wanted to
talk to him and she tells him that she is going home. He asks for her to stay but knows that she
can't, but she agrees to sit for a few minutes by his side. Khushi returns home and informs Garima and
Buaji about Anjali's condition. In her
room as she is removing her bangles, she looks at her mehendi and remembers
Arnav teasing her. Arnav too sees his
mehendi dot and remembers the good moments before the accident. The next morning, Dadi goes to Anjali's room
and is upset to find Khushi there with the rest of the family. Khushi tells the family that Anjali has not
eaten since the previous night and tells them to get some rest as she will take
care of her. As Nani hands her the
juice, Dadi snatches it away and states that she will take care of Anjali.
After Khushi leaves
the room, Dadi attempts to get Anjali to drink the juice but instead, she
clearly refuses, and asks for everyone to leave her alone. Downstairs, Khushi is arranging flowers when
Arnav notices her. He asks her if
everything is okay and she says yes.
He then notices a
tear on her face and realizes she's upset.
He places a kiss on her forehead to tell her everything will be
alright. Khushi informs Arnav that
Anjali has not eaten anything since the previous night. The rest of the family find the two and tell
them that Anjali refused to drink the juice.
Arnav suggest that they make something while he convinces Anjali to eat. Khushi offers to make kheer but Dadi says she
will make it. After everyone leaves,
Arnav notices a hurt look on Khushi's face.
What worked:
N/A
What didn't work: The
pace. Right now, IPKKND has been working
on showing Shyam's entrance into the house.
Some of the episodes hav been fabulous in showing how Shyam is no longer
human and will stoop to any level just to return to the house. However, the current pace of the show seems
very agonizing to watch. For at least
three weeks, we've constantly heard Dadi rant on and on of how Shyam should be
brought back to the house. This for me
is getting annoying to the point that it's predictable. The constant "bring Shyam back into the house" is
getting quite repetitive that it's beginning to drag the storyline. Recently this year, the IPKKND team seemed to
lose its stamina to deliver the show without it being agonizing to watch. They either dragged the storylines
unnecessarily, like when Arnav was kidnapped or right now, or they quickly
rushed through the storyline, like with Arshi's remarriage. Yes, very show needs a villain and Shyam is
bound to return to the house. So instead
of dragging his return, just bring him back. His return is important to the show as all his
evil deeds must be revealed for anyone to move on in their lives.
Highlight:
Arnav telling Khushi not to go. This
scene might have been small and simply but it gives us tremendous insight into
the state of their relationship. His simple
"don't go" said it all; he fears losing Khushi in his life. Right now, Arnav needs Khushi by his side and
knows that she will be there but there is this fear in him that he will lose
the one person he loves the most. He's
hurting on the inside and has been hurt in the past before but Khushi has
promised to stay by his side; which was beautifully depicted when she said that
she could sit with him for a while. This
goes to show that even though they are not officially together, they have each
other's support and will always be there for one another.
