Arnav takes Khushi
to his office to show her a surprise. He
acknowledges that she is still mad at him but also recognizes that she is very
talented and that if she uses her talent the right way, she can go very far. He then shows her her very own office
space. He explains to her that he wants
her to head up the company's fashion division that is devoted to designing
Indian wear, which will be presented around the world. He states that he's giving her her own office
as he knows that she'll need her space to work.
Khushi is touched by the gesture and remembers what Nani told her about
believing in herself to accomplish her task.
She thanks Arnav for his gesture but states that she can't accept
it. She says that she needs to do
something on her own in order to prove herself.
She states that she has a lot of work to do and will talk to him later,
leaving the office and him very confused.
Khushi arrives at the pageant office to drop off her application. There, she is told to fill out another form
as well. Another contestant notices her
and begins to make fun of her and the way she dresses. Just then, another contestant comes to the
defense of Khushi stating that she likes her earrings. Her name is Amrita and she too is also
participating in the pageant. When the
other contestants state that Khushi will always remain a middle class girl,
Armita defends Khushi making fun of the other ladies. As Khushi goes to complete her form, Amrita
states that she's pretending to like Khushi to get her to think that being a
middle class girl is okay, in the hopes of getting her eliminated from the
competition.
At home, the family
is surprised when Arnav returns early. He
states that he came home to freshen up for a meeting and pick up some
files. He then asks where Khushi is and
both Nani and Mami give different stories.
Mami combines the stories, stating that Khushi has gone with Anjali to
the mandir and then will go shopping.
Just then, Anjali comes by causing Arnav to question their story. Anjali states that she was going to go out
with Khushi but then didn't feel like going.
When he inquires about her whereabouts, Anjali tells him that she went
to the mandir and will then go to her parents house since she's been missing
them. Arnav decides to call up Khushi
when both Aarav and NK stop him, with NK stating that he can't call her
up. When Arnav asks why, Aarav explains
that there is a problem with Khushi's phone battery. Thankfully, Arnav bought the story and goes
to his room while the rest of the family wish for Khushi's audition to go
well. At the pageant place, the women
are introduced to the judges of the competition, Ms. Riya Sharma and Mr. Jay,
both former models. After their
introductions, the women begin their individual auditions, most of them being
cut off by Riya.
Khushi doesn't like
what's going on and feels that she should leave instead of being ripped apart
by Riya. Just as she wishes that she had
Arnav's support, Arnav appears on the other end of the door talking on the
phone. Khushi senses him and gets up to
see outside the door but he moves before she can see him. Arnav too then sense Khushi and looks through
the door into the room. As he does this,
Khushi moves, unable for Arnav to see her.
She is then called to give her audition.
Khushi starts off by stating her names and the fact that she loves to
cook. She tries to explain why she
enjoys to cook and feed people but she is quickly cut off by Riya.
Today's episode helped to clear one thing up for me; this
pageant is a Mrs. India pageant. A
pageant for married women. I wasn't
quite sure before but now that it's cleared, it makes more sense.
What worked: Khushi's nervousness and uncertainty during
the audition process. Taking part in the
Mrs. India pageant was not going to be easy for Khushi. The same girl who had the guts to stand up to
Arnav, the girl who had the courage to rescue her husband and the girl who has
the heart to sacrifice her happiness for others. This time around, Khushi is in a completely
new environment; one where she has absolutely no experience in and where she'll
have to learn new skills quickly in order to survive. This time, Khushi is going
to have to dig deep in order to find the courage and confidence to keep going
and keep being herself as beauty pageants are ruthless. She has the support of her family but she'll
need the support of her own self-esteem if she wants to make it all the way.
What didn't work:
N/A
Highlight: The family trying to cover up for Khushi's
absence. That was a close one. As Khushi is off applying for the Mrs. India
pageant, the family tries to cover her absence with a variety of stories and
excuses. The best part of the whole
thing is that the family is naturally crazy, so it wasn't like Arnav was going
to figure it out right off the bat. What's going to be hard is making sure they
didn't tip him off by keeping their stories consistent and informing Khushi on
their updates. There are bound to be
many more situations like this where Khushi's maternal family may also join in
to keep her secret from Arnav. It's
going to be fun watching everyone try to keep a secret from the great Arnav
Singh Raizada while he tries to figure out what's going on, without his usual
help.
It seems that Arnav or his company AR Group may have
something to do with the Mrs. India pageant.
Like he said in an episode last week about co-hosting/sponsor something
with someone, I think this pageant may be that co-hosting/sponsoring event.
