IPKKND LIVE BLOG - Season 1 [Epi - 2]

Cooooommmmmmmeeee ooooooonnnnnnnn, letz start the second epiiiiiiiiii.

So we are starting right from where we had left them off. ANDDDDD BAAAAMMMM! Khushi jolts out of her (or rather their?) trance and realizes where her hand is, snatches it back. Pulling out Arnav from his trance as well.

I want you to focus on their expressions in the scene. Look closely, when she snatches her hand away from his collar. His gaze, instantly falls down to her hand and there's a moment where he steels himself and maybe even thinks that 'How dare she!'.

It's as if Arnav realizes that he needs to be angry and THEN all hell breaks lose, as he throws her out of his hands. He orders the head of his PR team to control the photos and videos of this 'scandal'. Khushi is locked in a room for interrogation.

Back in Gomti Sadan, the neighborhood aunties are gossiping about Khushi's absence. Buaji asks about the papers' whereabouts to Payal. But, Payal, already very nervous and tongue-tied, reduces to tears. I am surprised why did Buaji not see the change in her demeanor and most importantly her spilled tears. But, that's also not much surprising coz Buaji can hardly ever read Payal or Khushi's distress over anything that they seem to be facing alone, in the entire show. This scene also indicates that Payal has never been the rule-breaker kid, she's always been kind of a 'yes-man' to her parents.

Ohh! Did you notice how Khushi's voice sounds so off? Do you know why? Turns out Sanaya was sick with cold while shooting this sequence. She mentioned this in that interview with Mrs. Gul Khan, which was released right after IPK ended a few months ago.

Arnav instructs the team to interrogate Khushi and check whether a rival company (Re-Fashion? RI-Fashion? REE-Fashion? whatever, lol.) send her there to ruin his fashion show in exchange of some petty amount of money.

Payal's belief, of her Abhishek ji standing up to his family's demand of the dowry, breaks. She realizes that he is present there, knows everything going on but still refuses to speak up. She is heart-broken.

Was it only me or you also thought that the way Sanaya pronounced 'profession' is kind of-idk-intriguing?-sexy?-hot?-pata nahi choro (ok, leave it.)

Garima tries to associate the papers' absence to Khushi's absence. Payal has been caught like a deer caught in headlights.

Arnav comes to meet or rather to interrogate his wife 'that' girl, for 'answers'. Khushi requests him to let her go as she explains him that she landed there by mistake.

He is so adamant in throwing all the unfortunately familiar 'accusatory' questions. What was that 'Wipro-Fashion'? 'PRO-Fashion'? Whatever. See, many of you would disagree, here, but I think he is legit right in doubting her intentions, given the type of people he would have dealt with till now in this profession. Although, WE know, from Khushi's POV, that she is right, BUT that's the thing, he doesn't.

"Then let it (the marriage) break. Problems like these are nothing for girls like you. If one leaves, then trap another." ("Toh tut jaane do shaadi. Tum jaisi ladkiyon ka kya hai. Ek jayega, dusra phasaa lena.") And the BG score changes to something close to tandav beats. Maybe, just maybe he realized that he has struck a chord or crossed a line or fcked up real bad. It can be any of the three.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! The dreaded moment is here. Khushi retaliates but she does not realize the volcano in front of her, ready to burst out with hot, molten lava. She attempts to side step him but he grabs her by the arm and yanks at the dori of her blouse. Pearls scatter around, everywhere on the floor. Khushi is horror struck, devastated, horrified and all the girls watching this for the first time already knew what that meant. And hated Arnav for doing that to her for a long, long time.

See the irony, here. In the previous episode, we saw them together in that beautiful frame. No-one had any doubt of them being the alpha couple of the show. BUT. BUT. BUT.

After this scene, audience must have doubted, some might even have gone to the extent to declare Arnav as the villain. And later considered Shyam as the hero, coz of the way, he was introduced (we will come to that in that episode).

Hmm. I am thinking. Why did he let her go? Like? So....easily? After she pulled the ribbon from her hair and covered her exposed back, or rather her modesty. Arnav has frozen. At his spot. He isn't even moving a finger. (I will have to process this scene and then will let you know in a separate post.)

With this, the scene blurs and along with Khushi, we reach Gomti Sadan, where everything is eerily silent. Wait. Did we reach so early? Didn't Khushi take the whole day to reach SM? Then how come- ohh Guilty Arnav might have arranged a car for her to reach her home safely-Lol. Who am I kidding with? This is ASR, we are talking about. Let's stop with the wishful thinking.

Gomti Sadan. Gossips. Malign in their social image. A broken marriage. All of these are termed as a "Kali' (black ink) by Buaji. And who's at fault? Khushi. She talks of pulling off her braid and handing it to her. Basically, beat her ass off.

Buaji, I think, was never able to accept Khushi as her own child. She was always the only one to differentiate between the two. She was only the one who instigated Garima and Shashi against her. Although, Shashi had wholeheartedly accepted her as his daughter but Garima, often used to get manipulated into believing the worst, in Khushi.

Even now both Buaji and Garima are convinced that Khushi was, somehow, jealous of her sister's fate (that she was getting married) and so to malign it, she decided to sabotage the wedding by taking away the papers and fleeing out of everyone's sight until the wedding is called off.

Lol. Junior Engineer. And Buaji thinks, that's self-explanatory for them, having a right to ask for a dowry. Khushi explains herself. But, she is admonished by her (B-ji), for acting like a 'Dadi Amma', means trying to act above her age, by interfering in elders' matters.

Still, for the Guptas', specifically for Mrs. Garima Gupta, a broken marriage is worse than Payal getting married into a money-hungry family. Do you see it here? Getting MARRIED is of more importance than getting married into THE RIGHT FAMILY.

And as if all this admonishing and insulting is not enough, so, she kind of disowns her daughter. "Mat kaho hume Amma".

Khushi, who already had abandonment issues, guilt of being a burden to 'this' family, is now shell shocked. Someone please save this poor kid.

Buaji does it again! Hip, hip hurray guys! She again pulls up the orphan card and a non-refundable debt (of getting adopted by her brother and sister in law) card! What an awesome timing Buaji! Shut up Buaji. What? Shashi said this. Not me. I have manners, ok.

"Arre tujhse saga humara koi nahi hai." Payal's words calms Khushi to some extent. But, they are still not enough as we see that Khushi cannot sleep, and keeps tossing and turning, recalling her amma's harsh words.

She wakes up and opens their shop's door. Khushi is shown handling an LPG gas cylinder, an oil cannister and lighting a match stick, giving us the impression of her attempting to give up her life.

Precap starts. *quickly pauses it* I don't watch precaps. Spoilers. Don't like them. Bye. Such a stressful episode to watch.

youtube

P.S. : Remember the interview I was talking about? This is it. Please do give it a watch if you haven't already. It's so beautiful them sharing the off-screen things and being all nostalgic. You'll love it. :)

10 Times Arnav Singh Raizada Was Absolutely Right

We see so much of his legendary aggression and silence that we miss out on the fact that Arnav has actually been pretty right. This is an appreciation post as well as a deep look at what his being right meant.

Coincidences Are Never Just Coincidences

Not Introducing Lavanya to His Family

Reprimanding Khushi for Spilling the Beans About Lavanya

Not Getting Married Because He’s Not Ready

Fury on Lavanya’s Push to Getting Married

Knowing Mami Won’t Believe in the “Akash-Payal Made Forever”

Never Trusting Shyam, Again

Rebutting With Dadi

Bringing Sheetal in the House Would Spell Disaster

Khushi Would Not Fit into the Fashion World

#1 Coincidences Are Never Just Coincidences

Yes, it’s destiny and he and Khushi are star crossed lovers. But you have to hand it to Arnav Singh Raizada on believing less in fate and more in motives.

Khushi happens to be the most magical part of his life - naturally it leaves him confused, bothered and curious. She is everything he does not believe in. But her existence counters his belief.

But if we remove Khushi from the equation - Arnav’s disbelief in coincidence makes him an astute observer of his surroundings. He tracks people’s behavior, becomes aware of what people mean when they say something and knows when someone has other motivations.

If Arnav was in Khushi’s shoes, he would have never stopped thinking that Shyam is around a lot. And Shyam’s slip ups that only made sense to Khushi at the end would’ve been unavoidable in Arnav’s eyes from the very start.

Scene Example: On the night of their wedding, it does not take Arnav even a minute to understand that personal surveillance, purchase of cameras, and Shyam’s sudden quietness and agreement to their remarriage isn’t a coincidence. He immediately connects it to Shyam while Khushi is, still, surprised.

I think Arnav is judged very harshly for not believing in fate, but we all know that Shyam was able to dupe Khushi and her family only because they were not as pragmatic as Arnav. Arnav’s only blind spot was Anjali - otherwise he wouldn’t have missed Shyam’s activities.

An opposite character: Khushi Kumari Gupta. Everything is fated and she is appalled at the thought that anyone could even deviously plan to fake goodness. A reason why she might be so - I feel it’s a coping mechanism for her to justify her parents’ death. It was fated and in God’s will and there was no way Khushi could have prevented it. Arnav, on the other hand, saw his parents’ commit suicide, so of course there was no God’s will and the very next day his uncle kicks them out of their house. Not so surprising that they form different opinions on fate, right?

A character who understands: Shashi Gupta is a good balance of believing in fate but also not believing in coincidences. Which makes me think that the two of them share the most tender bond as Shashi is an astute businessman and Arnav has never had a great paternal figure.

#2 Not Introducing Lavanya to His Family

Great idea. This is for everyone - if you’re not ready to make a relationship serious then you’re not ready! You’re not a villain for that, rather you are being mature. If there’s anything I appreciate about Arnav Singh Raizada is the fact that he knows where his relationships are heading.

Barring Khushi, she’s a perfect anomaly in his life. Arnav probably hated how she fit right into his house and heart as a family member.

Arnav and Lavanya’s relationship in the beginning, is around 5 (?) months old. So they’ve really just started dating and considering the family that Arnav has, introducing Lavanya to them means that the very next day he needs to pronounce his vows to her. Now we might feel the relationship is very serious because Lavanya treats it seriously, she continues to test the boundaries of their relationship and tries to celebrate anniversaries (even when it’s not been a year).

Of course people marry much quicker than that. But this is Arnav, who doesn’t have the best relationship with the ideology of marriage and stuff. So he’s not the guy to marry someone after five months.

Scene Example: Arnav, carefully, lets Lavanya know that he does consider her his girlfriend - and let’s note that he’s outside his office - and lets her celebrate the ‘anniversary’. He’s humoring her, not celebrating it himself. And I think it’s the same day / or the next, when he clearly let’s her know she’s his girlfriend outside the doors of his office and she shouldn’t try blurring those lines.

Also, Nani is legit intolerable and creepy by pushing a woman of her choice on Arnav at this point. No wonder Arnav didn’t bring Lavanya home.

An opposite character: Akash Singh Raizada. He looks at his lady love and immediately knows he must learn to speak up in order to incorporate her into his life forever. In a way he’s already planning a wedding and he doesn’t know Payal’s name yet!

A character who understands: Anjali Raizada. She knows before Arnav can accept that Arnav does not hesitate marrying, he just doesn’t think Lavanya is the woman in the first place that he wants to bring home (not, he’s not having internal fantasies of a woman like Khushi either at this point) - and by that Anjali knows that their relationship is not serious. But she also knows no one would get that. She is the only one who does not question the length of Arnav’s relationship. So why does she pressurise Arnav to tell Nani about Lavanya? Well it’s to stop Nani from bringing one family after another.

#3 Reprimanding Khushi for Spilling the Beans About Lavanya

Ok, Arnav going to her class and status has always been a bitter blow - so for that, two imaginary swats on his head.

But everything else he yells at Khushi for? Perfectly fine reasoning. With Arnav Singh Raizada we also learn that people have boundaries and spaces in life. Unlike the ideology that if you live with your family you share everything with them, Arnav teaches us that everyone has privacy.

And Khushi was heck judgemental in assuming Arnav shouldn’t be too upset with Nani getting to know the truth because if he has nothing to ‘hide’ then there’s no concern. It’s the upbringing given to most that no secrets should be kept because elders make the best decisions?

*Cough* Bua ji *Cough* Forcing her niece to marry a man she technically has no idea about.

She does not know Nani, the interpersonal relationship of Arnav-Nani-Lavanya, nor Arnav Singh Raizada himself.

Arnav only shares everything with the people who understand him the most - Anjali and Akash. They are the only ones who know about Lavanya.

He only starts hiding from them when it gets about Khushi… perhaps for the fear that they will realise something he does not want to confront.

Arnav yelling to Khushi that there’s a line between his office and personal life struck a chord with me. People should know and respect somebody else’s lines. It’s not just decency, but you never know how and when people want to say something. Now it’s a different thing that Khushi really didn’t know that Nani didn’t know and Arnav should’ve tried to understand that it was a case of misunderstanding and miscommunication.

Scene Example: Anjali is only worried and immediately informs Arnav that Nani knows about Lavanya. Her guilt in this episode, in failing to protect the secret her brother entrusted her with motivates her to do anything to make her brother’s relationship work. Under no circumstances will she allow Nani to manipulate him into a marriage with a woman he does not want.

An opposite character: Devyani Raizada. Her failure to protect her daughter makes her obsessive over Arnav (who probably shows a lot more traits of his father). She is traditional, does not respect privacy - given by the way she controls Manohar & Manorama’s marriage - and does not see that her grandson is different but not disrespectful.

Characters who understand: Anjali & Akash. Akash is as silent as a grave, does not question Arnav. For him it doesn't matter who Arnav dates as long as Arnav is happy (we see that Akash is the only one who gets positively upset at the upheaval that happens and is always on Arnav’s side - asking if his brother is alright). Anjali always supports Arnav but more than often acts as his conscience. In several instances we see Arnav relaying his days to Anjali and depending on her feedback to know if he has done something right or not.

#4 Not Getting Married Because He’s Not Ready

SOMEBODY GET ME A LOUDSPEAKER. Whoever you are - don’t get married unless you want to. Really, even if we remove Khushi from this scenario we can see how disastrous it became because Arnav, clearly, was not ready to marry.

Lavanya’s proposal infuriated him - distancing him away from her and diminishing all his affection he had for her. His engagement came out of spite and a response to society as opposed to his own decision. He was bullied into making Lavanya a wife and post that there’s little to no romantic interaction between Arnav and Lavanya.

This needs to be heard, relationships are like a butterfly. If you crack open a cocoon for a butterfly, the butterfly never flies. The cocoon needs to crack at it’s own time and pace. Relationships need time. Forcing a relationship ahead can break it, not make it.

Arnav was so right when he said he was not ready for marriage. He wasn’t being ‘immoral’, he was being honest.

Scene example: The scene after Lavanya’s proposal. First of all it was infuriating that the proposal reeked of Khushi Kumari Gupta because Arnav was already in two minds as to where his own heart was headed, and secondly Lavanya did this in public without discussing with him if he wanted to get married.

Live in does not equal marriage, not unless both the partners think so. Lavanya’s affection supersedes Arnav by a huge extent. We are made to see that scene as if Arnav is a villain but remember Khushi’s reaction when Shyam “proposes” her (basically getting Bua ji to do the proposal)? Khushi said no, and we all agreed with it because Shyam is not Arnav, and also Khushi tells them she is not ready. Similarly, Arnav too tells Lavanya the same!

An opposite character: Anjali Raizada. Upon being left at the altar, I think it’s understandable why Anjali feels that marriage, that restored her honor in society’s eyes, is a sign of permanence and the end goal of any relationship. Anjali is constantly praised or belittled by the people around her based on the situation of her marriage.

Marriage means everything to Anjali. So of course, she cannot understand why Arnav can’t marry if he can bring Lavanya to the same house. Because then what’ll happen to Lavanya’s honor? (she clearly associates marriage with honor).

A character who understands: Payal Gupta. Post being left at the altar she does not see marriage as an ultimate, unlike Anjali who shared a similar fate. She has seen the evil side of the ‘fairytale’. It’s no longer about prince charming on horses, it’s about ugly reality. She really does not want to marry Akash, a man she loves, until he can reassure her of everything.

She craves permanence from character and strength of the relationship as opposed to just being married - something I believe Arnav also feels. Unlike Khushi, she does not immediately demonize Arnav for his broken engagement. Rather she’s just confused and only wonders why things happened the way it did.

#5 Fury on Lavanya’s Push to Getting Married

Arnav is so right… he is so right. Arnav and Lavanya are really suffering from a bad phase in their relationship because Lavanya, slowly and gradually, is becoming a woman he had never imagined.

To put everything in context - let’s imagine Kabir from Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (if you haven’t watched the film then please do). He loved his free spirited/independent/ambitious girlfriend Natasha. Later, she becomes obsessed with marriage and turns into a woman who’s a far cry from the woman he loved in the first place. So much so that he’s unable to marry her - even though he began seriously dating her in the idea that perhaps one day they would.

The same thing happens to Arnav. He tries to explain to Khushi that he understands that she has a different upbringing. An upbringing that reinforces marriage as ideal. Khushi also points out, accurately, that a part of him chooses to stay away from marriage because he’s afraid and that it’s his weakness. But it’s not the right time to tell him so, especially if she’s saying so to defend her actions. This is one of the few times that he does not regret getting upset on Khushi.

Even I was upset with Khushi and the whole “let’s force Lavanya to be a bride”.

Arnav is completely right to lash out (NOT the pitch or with that aggression) on Lavanya. For me this scene has me feeling sad for Arnav because really it’s just communicating that two people, in a relationship, have really different expectations from each other.

Scene example: Arnav retaliates to Lavanya’s accusation of not ‘loving’ her enough by stating that he brought her to his house, even though it was too early. And he’s surprised by Lavanya because this was the same woman who would understand that he apologised by sending a bag. Somewhere between then and now Arnav & Lavanya drifted from understanding each other to becoming strangers.

An opposite character: Lavanya Kashyap. If one day Arnav was in her courtyard, suddenly, on a horse and in a sherwani asking her to marry her out of bluemoon - Lavanya would say yes, irrespective of the length of their relationship. It’s not evident in the beginning but Lavanya’s sudden eagerness to marry shows that she hoped for that - only didn’t know when, where and how to go about it. It’s also why she turns a blind eye to Arnav’s problematic behavior during the brief time when they were about to be engaged.

A similar character: Payal Gupta. She gets furious at Akash, twice, for proposing her. Just because Akash is someone she likes and presents himself as a suitor does not mean that she will marry him then and there. Alright, her reasonings are different from Arnav’s, but Payal - unlike Akash, Lavanya and like Arnav - does not immediately dream of marrying Akash the minute she sees him. Akash did literally just say “Will you marry me” out of blue-moon!

#6 Knowing Mami Won’t Believe in the “Akash-Payal Made Forever”

One of the best things about Arnav Singh Raizada is that he knows individuals differ. What applies to one does NOT apply to another. Not a surprise considering how he’s built a fashion empire for himself by the age of 26.

Of course his logic and pragmatism escapes him when it comes to Khushi. She’s the only person he puts massive generalizations on! Apart from his uncle and the pricey dude he slaps in the beginning few episodes. He really never generalises anyone else. But Khushi does. She even thinks the “rab ne banadi jodi” will work on Arnav’s aunt.

This is Arnav’s aunt. The woman who has the weirdest but most solid friendship with Arnav. The woman who is obsessed about her own son but will sell her entire, precious jewelry for her orphaned nephew.

If anyone will get her, it will be Arnav. It might be portrayed that Arnav was crass with his own aunt, but really nothing would have stopped Manorama until and unless she saw that she had to be made indispensable to Akash’s marriage with Payal. Hence getting power and dominance in her son’s marriage - a thing she was, anyways, aiming at.

Khushi’s dialogue was hilarious and Arnav really didn’t need to gloat his victory in her face but once again, if anyone understands Manorama Mami the best then it’s her Arnav bitwa and let’s keep it to that.

He’s right when he says his aunt won’t understand.

Scene example: Arnav telling “what crap” to Khushi’s plan to convince Mami. Really, it’s his aunt and he knows the best. Always has and always will. It’s a nice change to see that sometimes Arnav’s brains work over Khushi’s heart.

An opposite character: Khushi Kumari Gupta. Really, she thinks Manorama Mami cares about couples made in heaven theory? Now just because you believe so, does not mean everyone else does.

A character who understands: Manohar Singh Raizada. That man truly understands his wife and although he never brings up the past, this time he does. He realises Manorama’s fury does not just arise with Akash’s love for a middle classed person, it’s that Devyani is entirely accepting of it. And this infuriates Manohar because in a way Manorama can’t accuse Devyani of being mean if she’s following her footsteps. And Manohar yells at his wife because her shortsightedness has put their son’s happiness at stake.

#7 Never Trusting Shyam, Again

YES! I literally blew air kisses to Arnav when he said he can’t trust Shyam again. Like literally Shyam was first Khushi’s enemy. But to project Arnav as a ‘hero’ who fights the ‘villain’, I am forever pissed that they make the whole house against Arnav, even Khushi (mind you women are not forgiving of their molesters but Khushi is [?!?!?]).

His intuition is correct and his mistrust in Shyam is validated because we get Shyam’s epic Dhoom 3 makeovers and Crime Master Gogo level plans of ruining Raizadas’ lives.

Arnav Singh Raizada had never been more right. You don’t trust a man who cheated his wife, planned to murder you and molested a woman.

You never trust them.

Scene example: Arnav punching Shyam the minute he opens his mouth in the hospital - yeah, give him those punches and I’m so glad you don’t trust his tears!!!

An opposite character: Snake Manohar Jha himself! *Daiya Ho!* This man actually thinks he can regain the trust of everyone. What he doesn’t get is that even though Khushi brought him in… everybody hates him, Khushi included. He thinks he has succeeded because he managed to bring a rift between Arnav & Khushi! Literally apart from Dadi, Anjali and even Garima - everyone hates him on a unified front. *Loved his EPIC MOUSTACHE! WHATTA DISGUISE GUYZ*

A character who understands: NK & Shashi Gupta. Okay, none of the Raizadas are happy that Shyam is back but they pretend for Anjali’s happiness. Except NK & Shashi, they both call out the bullshit the minute they see it. The stink eye both of them give to Shyam on Haldi is one of my most favorite scenes. No dialogue, just one stare! NK & Shashi are fiercely protective of Khushi and it was nice to see someone remembering what atrocities Shyam committed against Khushi. A friend and a father - two people who would never forget.

#8. Rebutting With Dadi

Elders get respect because they’re old. No. Respect begets respect. Arnav’s love and childlike attachment to Dadi dies a quick death the minute he realizes that he never misinterpreted the older woman’s actions. She was as conniving, traditional, conservative, orhtodox and tenacious as he had remembered.

Really this needs to be spread out, don’t respect and obey people because of their age - respect them because of their deeds. While everyone in the house was running around like headless chickens in a way to appease Dadi, Arnav was as cool as a cucumber as he preserved his manners but delivered a scathing word or two.

Automatically giving people of age/authority some power, irrespective of whether or not they are capable of handling it, enables them to abuse further.

Arnav was incredibly right to be impervious of his grandmother’s wishes.

Scene example: Arnav telling off his grandmother during his wedding. In his calm demeanour he explains the truth of his father because he sees through her manipulation. He realises he has seen the ‘truth’ through her narration of events. And his marriage would happen, irrespective of the absence of an elder like her in his family. For Arnav, only the people that matter are his family.

An opposite character: Anjali Raizada. She immediately falls into Dadi’s arms and shares all her griefs in the hope that as an elder, Dadi can soothe her pain and wake her up from her nightmare. Her reassurance of Dadi actually pushes her to continue believing in Shyam because an elder has reassured her.

Until that moment Anjali was in two minds, not knowing if she was doing the right thing by meeting Shyam behind everyone’s back. She does not question Dadi again for her disappearance because elders always know what they’re doing.

A character who understands: NK. One can say it’s because he’s brought up abroad, another can say he shares his cousin’s intellect - I say both. Sometimes when you’re raised abroad you see a larger understanding of the world and you get the opportunity to see people the way according to your culture/tradition (by your parents) but also according to the country you’re raised in.

It’s advantageous because you have a wider horizon. So while NK understands that Dadi should be respected, he also knows that nothing gives the authority to Dadi to insult Khushi the way she does. He dislikes Dadi from the day he meets her and is happy when she’s gone.

#9 Bringing Sheetal in the House Would Be Disastrous

At this point probably the CVs had given up because Khushi is beyond my recognition and I feel the age gap between Arnav & Khushi increased! Khushi has to be sixteen to have the reasoning that she has, definitely not twenty three/four/five.

He was right. To have his ex-girlfriend live in the same house was hell awkward and a terrible experience. I feel there would have been a protest against Arnav if he manipulated the situation to get Khushi’s ex to live in their house so as to know if Khushi’s ex and Khushi slept together.

My only problem with Arnav here is that Arnav is not bothered by how much Aarav, his ex’s son, copies him.

When Arnav genuinely and actively deals with this situation, things and conversations are immediately mature, understanding and serious.

Scene example: I won’t recommend anyone to watch any episode of this track (barring a few), but Arnav literally has to spell out he was jealous of NK to make Khushi realise how awkward it was for Arnav to be in the same house, years later, with someone he dated. And Khushi still does not get it until a roof falls on her head.

An opposite character: I don’t even want to analyse because everyone was off character.

A character who understands: Arnav is left alone in the woods of logic and pragmatism. They are all attached to Aarav as if he is Simba who returned home. Aarav, individually, had potential but the rest I give up. I really wish Shashi Gupta was around to knock some sense - he was the most sensible character of all.

#10 Khushi Would Not Fit into the Fashion World

Yes Khushi, you don’t fit. Saying bhaiya, exercising in georgette/chiffon salwar suits when your husband could buy out athleisure companies, using mimicry for the ‘talent’ round, not realising rivalry in one of the most politically charged and competitive industries, and not really pulling off any makeup/clothing out of your comfort zone (barring a wonderful blue gown) only shows that Arnav Singh Raizada pulled strings.

Enough strings to build a freaking saree.

Her not speaking English was really not a problem, her lack of passion for fashion is. Models work really hard. From intensive exercise, makeup/fashion routines, educating themselves about the world they’re in and a true dedication to the modeling world.

It’s a pity that there’s zero respect for the fashion world in this track. Check out the reality show MTV Supermodel of the Year with Malaika Arora, Milind Soman, Masaba Gupta, Ujjwala Raut and Anusha Dandekar - even though it’s a reality show it at least gives us a glimpse of how models are!

Arnav could easily be sitting on the panel - his character has been built so. Khushi, she could’ve designed clothes because of her passion for chikankari, gota, Lucknowi karigari - that was established!

I don’t know where this track went because fashion is Arnav’s forte. There’s no way Khushi could succeed without his backing because that just undermines the fact that he’s right about the industry he mastered!

To succeed Khushi required passion, that Arnav has for business. She’s really like a five year old going ‘ha, I’m gonna beat him in his own stuff’. Imagine Arnav fighting with Khushi and then teaching her how to make jalebis, opening a sweet store and doing better despite not following anything Khushi advises!!! Sounds crazy, right?

When it’s about business and fashion, Arnav Singh Raizada is always right. He has been, otherwise no one can easily build an empire, afford the living expenses of his entire joint family, buy back their palatial childhood mansion and buy a massive house in Delhi’s most expensive location.

At the age of 26.

Not going to talk about the scene, or the opposite character.

But a character who understands: Payal Gupta. She knows, from the first day, who Arnav Singh Raizada is. So much so that when Khushi is swept in the emotions of the office challenge Payal reminds Khushi that the job and office is his to begin with. The only time she’s furious with Arnav is when he crosses his boundaries of being ‘right’ but apart from that she probably would also advise Khushi against going into fashion like Arnav. Not because Khushi can’t do it, it’s just not her world. It’s not what Khushi is passionate about!

lo shuru sanskaari music. 🙄🙄🙄

never getting over the “fuck me” bedroom eyes they’re giving each other. 😏😏😏

gauri feeding shaktiiii cake. gosh, what even do you call it when you start shipping a new parental figure for a character? there are no words in fandom culture for all the dynamics this show makes me ship!!!! 😫😫😫

... such unnecessary tension. just eat the damn cake, omkara. 😒😒😒

shivika giving each other “kuch karnaaa padegaaaa” looks 🙃🙃🙃

yes plz, turn for you to play shipper now. yell at omkara alternately till he fucking fixes this ish. 😒😒😒

shaktiji is practically glowing from all the #shivika shipping. happiness is a good look on him. 😊😊😊

who’da thunk that i’d eventually be rooting for shakti as the good parent? in any case, he did less damage than pinky, so there’s that. 😕😕😕

god i hate this stupid “abhi tak shaadi nahi hui hai, toh door raho” nonsense in remarriage tracks. they were living together for more than six months. they could have been having crazy monkey sex in that time for all you know. bloody nonsense. 😑😑😑

i am happy that anika looks just as dismayed as shivaay at this development. 😌😌😌

LMAO RUDRA, HAATH KO AAYA PAR MOOH NA LAGA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

“subah subah shivaay singh oberoi pakode tal raha hai?”

ANIKA AGREES WITH ME ABOUT THE NEWS THING 😧😧😧

anika’s about to lose it at him for using the wrong type of oil. 😆😆😆

YAS, MISSION RIKARA IS A-GO!!!!!!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

dandiiiiiii is under the influence of dosas and thinks kaveri/peter are legit. don’t blame him, whatever said and done, those dosas did look damn good. 😌��

also, i hate the way north indians pronounce “dosa” - it’s tho-sha/tho-sa, not dosa with a hard D. 😒😒😒

OH THANK GOD. DANDI CAN TELL MALAYALAM AND TAMIL APART. HALLELUJAH. ALREADY LIKE HIM MORE. 😐😐😐

jhanvi is like yep, that kinda ignorant ass north indian bs sound like tej/svetlana for sure. 😒😒😒

didn’t even get what the precap was about really. some murti, some shiv-parvati sanjog, and everyone shocked at shivaay’s possesiveness re: khanna. ok???????? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

hopefully om-gauri get a little trip outta this hellhole to go get this murtiiiii? 😊😊😊

Hi PS, hope you’re doing well. I have kind of a stupid question but I always love receiving your input. You mentioned once how for Kushi, Arnav’s “I love you dammit” was all she needed in order to fully be sure about their marriage. But legally they’re married right? Because she can sign things in his name and Arnav keeps saying “my legally wedded wife”. If their marriage is legally registered, why did Dadi make it sound like it was illegitimate in society? Thank you in advance :)

Hello!

The canon can be ambiguous at times on this point. I believe they are legally married because -- as you said -- Arnav runs around yelling “legally wedded wife”. That doesn’t seem like something he’d say unless she really was.

(I don’t think she can legally sign things in his name. That scene with the fake lawyer was just that -- fake. It was a ploy and I doubt that dude was a real lawyer.)

However, in their marriage was illegitimate in the eyes of Society™️. There are two things happening here: their marriage wasn’t religiously valid and they eloped.

Their marriage isn’t religiously valid

They went to a temple, he put sindoor and a mangalsutra on her. But that’s not a marriage. One still needs the vows, in the form of the saptapadi and phere. The mangal mantra needs to be said. And they need to be declared man and wife by the priest. Khushi had the marks of a married Hindu woman but she wasn’t married.

It’s the difference between exchanging rings on a playground, or saying vows, exchanging rings that have been blessed by a priest, and being pronounced man and wife in the eyes of a Church. The marks of marriage are the rings but they do not, in themselves, constitute a religiously valid marriage. In the same way, sindoor and a mangalsutra are the marks of a marriage but they do not, all by themselves, mean a couple has a religiously valid marriage.

And to a religious families, such as the Raizadas and Guptas, the legal papers mean very little, it’s the religious validation that matters.

They eloped

The two issues are related and often conflated, but the other problem is that no one was there to see them get married. Their families assumed that while they ran away to get married, it was done with the proper rituals and customs. They assumed it was religiously valid.

The revelation that it wasn’t threw up another issue -- culturally, marriages sort of need a stamp of approval from Society™️. During Khushi and Payal’s Muhn Dekhayi, the rude Society woman (Sumitra bhabhi) asked point blank whether Arnav and Khushi had gotten married so quickly, and in secret, because they had to (that is, she was pregnant).

And that’s what some people assume if you don’t have a three month long lead up with all the customary events and rituals and don’t invite everyone you’ve ever met and all their relatives.

They had a live-in relationship

While their marriage might have been legally sound, it wasn’t sanctioned by religion or Society™️. This means they basically had a live-in relationship according to what the Raizada and Gupta families believed.

When Dadi said “What you’re calling a marriage is called by some other names by our society” she meant that Arnav was living with his lover.

There’s a certain poetry to the way Khushi’s horror at living together without marriage (largely driven by what Society™️ taught her to think) came back in the form of her living with the man she loves for six months in a marriage that Society didn’t think was complete.

hey!:) i'm new here so im not sure if this has been asked before, but what culture do u think the raizadas and guptas are apart of? (punjabi gujarati rajasthani etc) the elders of the house often pronounce conventional hindi words a bit different like beta is pronounced bitwa so i was wondering if thats possibly because of their cultural roots or something because its hard to track what they are as they live in delhi, a multicultural city.

Welcome!!

IPKKND is basically the story of two families from Lucknow. It’s just set in Delhi. Almost everyone was born there -- Nani, Shyam, Arnav, Anjali, all the Guptas. The differences in language most likely reflect differences in class and background and the fact that Lucknow is very diverse as well.

Arnav and Anjali most likely have Punjabi heritage from their father’s side, which is discussed here :)

Bua-ji and Nani seem to have moved to Delhi after marriage. Aakash grew up in Delhi but Anjali and Arnav grew up in Lucknow (they used to visit in the summer holidays). The difference in the way Arnav and Anjali speak highlights how much Arnav has distanced himself from Lucknow and his past. Their mother probably identified as being from Delhi and this might be one of the (many) reasons Arnav is adamant in his preference for Delhi (Shyam even claims that Arnav hates Lucknow).

We don't have enough information on Khushi's birth parents for me to comfortably make a guess. Same for Manorama’s family.

You might be interested in this response and this one.

Hello PS! How are you? I was the one who had confessed on your "Dear Devi Maiyya" tumblr about the "Laad Governor" thing. I thought that it's actually pronounced as "Lord Governor" since Arnav says that in Ek Jashn in Episode 2 or 3 and I thought due to Khushi's weak English, she pronounces it as "Laad Governor". But you told in that account that "It IS Laad Governor" so could you please explain it to me why do you think so? Thank you so much for your time and answers!! God bless you!

Hello :)

Thanks for sending this in!! I was low-key hoping you would :) I’m well, thanks. I have this presentation tomorrow (I’m nervous and scared) but otherwise I’m good :)

This is how Khushi spells the first word in Hindi (crossed out; still from Episode 147):

She calls him लाड Governor, which transliterated into English would either be Laat Governor or Laad Governor. British governor generals and viceroys were called Laat Sa'eb in the time of occupation. Now it’s used as a way to describe a haughty or lordly person. I think it’s related to “Laat” as in “Laat Sa'eb” (Lord Sahib; Big Lord) which Khushi has then upgraded to “Laat Governor” because Arnav is extra self-centred and arrogant. It’s pronounced with a ‘d’ sound, and Arnav canonised the spelling “Laad Governor” when he wrote on the receipt while kidnapped.

It sounds a lot like Khushi is mispronouncing “Lord”. This is up for debate. For example, the British and the US pronunciations of the word “route” differ greatly and yet neither is wrong for their context. While Khushi may technically be mispronouncing “Lord”, her pronunciation is the norm for where she is. Arguably, “Laat”/”Laad” is no longer the same word as the English “Lord”.

This seems to be the main point of confusion for Arnav. He says “Lord Governor” in Ek Jashn when he mentions it.

As an aside, Lateef in QH2 used “Laat Sa'eb” (Laad Sahib) as an affectionate nickname for Aahil :)

Hey phati sari :) In the initial episodes, I remember KKG taking up a dictation from ASR and she typed it correctly which left him in awe. But later, she refrains from congratulating ASR for his engagement in English and ends up saying 'badhai ho'. Also she is shown pronouncing biscuit as 'biskuth' or something. If she doesn't know these simple words itself, how did she manage to type things correctly in the first place?(even though she recorded it) P.S: I love your writings,Keep them coming :)

Hey :)

There’s a difference between spoken and written language though, yeah? Khushi knows English. She understands Arnav perfectly every time he speaks to - shouts at - her in English. She reads it as well – if she didn’t then Shyam wouldn’t have needed to switch the papers when she got Arnav’s signature on the new will papers.

She just seems to disdain speaking it and obviously doesn’t value it as a skill. We see her value it more as she recognises the need to speak to Arnav in the way he understands (in the same way he picks up Shuddh Hindi). Pronouncing words incorrectly or not being able to pronounce a complicated word doesn’t necessarily mean that she couldn’t have transcribed Arnav’s letter. Schools in India typically teach in English and she, like Payal, has a certain level of fluency that should have allowed her to transcribe the letter regardless of the vocabulary he used. I’m not saying it would’ve been easy for her but I’m saying that it wasn’t completely out of the realm of possibility in my opinion.

What does laad governor mean?

Hi,

It’s a bit confusing because some people think Khushi’s mispronouncing “Lord Governor” (Arnav: What does that even mean!?), others think it’s related to “Laad” as in spoilt, and still others think it’s related to Laat Sa’eb.

This is how Khushi spells the first word in Hindi (crossed out; still from Episode 147):

She calls him लाड Governor, which transliterated into English would either be Laat Governor or Laad Governor.

British governor generals and viceroys were called Laat Sa'eb in the time of occupation. Now it’s used as a way to describe a haughty or lordly person.

I think it’s related to “Laat” as in “Laat Sa'eb” (Lord Sahib; Big Lord) which Khushi has then upgraded to “Laat Governor” because Arnav is extra self-centred and arrogant. It’s pronounced with a ‘d’ sound, and Arnav canonised the spelling “Laad Governor” when he wrote on the receipt while kidnapped.

It sounds a lot like Khushi is mispronouncing “Lord” (I guess she technically is?), which seems to be the main point of confusion for Arnav. He says “Lord Governor” in Ek Jashn when he mentions it.

As an aside, Lateef in QH2 used “Laat Sa'eb” (Laad Sahib) as an affectionate nickname for Aahil :)

oh, three months, one heart attack and multiple half-assed suicide attempts later, om is like “hmmmm maybe we shouldn’t have listened to anika’s stupidass fucking plan???? maaaybe, perhaps, shaaayad it was a mistake? 🤔🤔🤔”

i swear to god, stupidity is THE MOST dominant oberoi trait. mann toh karr raha hai in dono ke sarrrr patak doon. 😠😠😠

lmaoooooooo omRu’s bitch faces at pinky’s demands. 😆😆😆

daaaaaaamn, omki ka paara chad raha hai. this gonna be goooooooood. 😊😊😊

“humein jhoot bolna nahi aata, aur agar sach kahenge, toh badtameez kehlaayenge.”

aaj omRu ka turn nikla hai, to fuck pinky uppppp. lovingggggg it. go for it boys! KILL HER! 😈😈😈

“shivaay toh aapka beta ban gaya, lekin aap shivaay ki maa nahi ban payi. woh kehte hai, janam dene waale se paalne wala bada hota hai, lekin aapne toh woh bhi galat saabit kar liya.”

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNN OMKARA, YOU ARE FUCKIN’ UNSTOPPABLE TODAY. 😧😧😧😧

KHULE BAAL, AANKHON MEIN RIGHTEOUS ANGER - MERAAAAAAA PURAANA OMKARAAAAAA WAAPASSS AAA GAYA! WOH AAAA GAYAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAIN JAANTI THI WOH EK NA EK DIN LAUT AAYEGA! MERI BARSON KI TAPASYA USSE WAAPAS LE AAYI HAI!!!!!!! 😫😫😫😫😫😫

feeling bit like rakhee in karan arjun right now. 😌😌😌

“har insaan ki zindagi mein maa ki jagah alag hoti hai aur biwi ki jagah alag.”

lo. rudra ko bhi yeh baat pata hai. now there’s no excuse. 😕😕😕

“aapko jo karna tha, aapne kar liya choti maa, BAS! AB JO KARNA HAI WOH HUM KARENGE CHOTI MAA, AUR AAPKO BEECH MEIN AANE KI ZAROORAT NAHI HAI. HUM APNE BHAI KO BIKHARNE NAHI DENGE.”

“aaj tak shivaay om aur ru ko sambhaalte aaya hai. lekin ab, om aur ru shivaay ko sambhaalenge. hum apne bhai ko waapas laayenge.”

MIC DROP. OMRU OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!! 😎😎😎

pfffffffffttt great. was on an all-time high from that scene and saw ragini, and instantly, my buzz has been killed. 😒😒😒

lmaoooooooo, popatttttttt. 😂😂😂

ok, i have a feeling additi has reasonably good comic timing. wish they’d use that more. 😕😕😕

also, is this why shivaay’s opting to spend the night in jail tonight? so he has a reasonable excuse to not hang with ragini? 🤔🤔🤔

#introvertIssues #relatable

girllllllllll, maybe this time, TURN AROUND FIRST? 😐😐😐

lmaoooooooo, can the staff stop being so condescending to poor ragini? 😂😂😂

ok can’t deny i’m loling a little right now at her passive aggressive hammy speech. 😆😆😆

i really hope this is the direction they decide to take her character. i’d love a comic touch to ragini’s villainous side, instead of just INTENSE UNBLINKING PSYCHO. it’s just more entertaining to watch. 😇😇😇

WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKK IS THIS SHIRT ANIKA??? MATLAB, I GET YOU’RE SAD AND ALL, BUT GIRL. COME ON. 😟😟😟

awww, baby. no cry. he didn’t mean it. jalta hai tumse, bas. he doesn’t look halfffff as fabulous post-breakup as you do. 😪😪😪

tum? kaun tum? OMRU? SAMAR? ADVAY?!?!?! WHO???? 😧😧😧

lo, pooori family colour coordination mein khadi hai shivaay ke swaagat mein. 😐😐😐

damn, hawaalat ki ek raat se shivaay’s calmed down by 400%, and gives no fucks about khaandaan ka naam. 😗😗😗

bloody hell, since episode 1 i’ve been screaming @ TPTB to put his crazy ass in jail. ladka kab ka sudhar gaya hota. 🙄🙄🙄

pft... as if by staying in jail you “solved” that problem. all you did was stay up all night on the super-uncomfortable floor, overthinking about it. you stupid boy. 😑😑😑

chandiniiii? chameli? (i can never remember the name of her chappal. just know it’s something with CH...) 🤔🤔🤔

oh ho shivaay, chappal yahaan hai, toh zaahir si baat hai ki chappal pehehnne waali bhi yahin kahin hogi. 🙄🙄🙄

WAZZZZZZZZZZZZA QUEEEEEEEEEEN! 😍😍😍

dayuuuuumm, that super subtle way he checked her out from bottom to top though. sex eyes 100%. keep it in your pants, billu! 😏😏😏

chandini! i was right! 😊😊😊

also lol, what a set-up, girl! like you came into the house, had a tete-a-tete with the family, and left your chappal there for shivaay to find, and thus make an entry to impress him? matlab, waaah. you’ve become justttttt as extra as patidev. 😂😂😂

tumhaaara gharrrr, mera gharrr, what difference does it maaaake??? youuu bothhh belong to each other, toh in cheezon ke baare mein behas kyun karna? just go into YOUR (collective) bedroom and bang. 😚😚😚

his face, man. his faaaaaaace. i got an ask about this, so i’ll go into greater detail there. 🙂🙂🙂

homegirl has honeddddd her “push shivaay’s buttons” skillz to the max over last three months. 😎😎😎

god this scene has me sitting here like:

OMG IT’S AN ANIRU COLLABORATION. BESTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. 😅😅😅

i am lovingggggggg her calm and composed, sultry deep voice. 😍😍😍

she’s gotta know that it drives patidev craaaazy for her, and is using it on purpose. 😏😏😏

... how did she BUY oberoi mansion if it wasn’t up for sale???? 🤔🤔🤔

lovinggggggg pinky’s outrage. 😈😈😈

anika’s high and mighty manner has shivaay so turned on, it’s not even funny. uska bas chale, he’d have his way with her on the coffee table that she had her foot on 2 seconds ago. 😚😚😚

her confidence and his calm and collected (and thus, most un-shivaay-like) reactions have me feeling this is yet another one of their “collaborations”? 😯😯😯

which... i know doesn’t work at allll, plot-wise... but dude, i am just such a sucker for these two and their role play, i’m not even mad. i’m just so hyped from this scene, i’m sitting here like:

LMAO ANIKA’S FACE AT PINKY LIKE “WHATCHOO GONNA DO ABOUT IT, MUMMEH????” 😈😈😈

yuck, ASR. kya champu hairstyle banaye rakha hai? don’t you know that this is a set of exceptionally amazing hair? 😖😖😖

also that suit. jesus. 🤢🤢🤢 it’s like he strolled off the sets of miami vice. (allahabad vice?)

and is he wearing surma????? maaaan, kahan clean cut hottie arnav, aur kahan yeh jail se choota kaidi look? zameen aur aasmaan ka faraq. 😔😔😔

now can we put an end to the “shivaay is short” jokes? as i suspected, he’s justtttt as tall as arnav! if nothing, shivaay has maybe half an inch ON him, thanks to the gravity-defying floofy hair. 😕😕😕

lmao the firsttttt thing ASR has to say to old friend SSO is a count of how many phones he’s broken. 😆😆😆

may it be noted that ek sau chauhatar (174) is the official number, as per canon. up from in 78 in episode 2.

96 phones in a year. that’s almost 2 phones a week. shivaay is single handedly keeping apple’s india market alive. 😌😌😌

ok, i’m a sucker for both these stupid men’s smiles. so here:

snort, meta reference to ASR being out of commission after 8 30 pm. (IPKKND shall air from 8 - 8 30.) 😂😂😂

SO MUCH META. SO MUCH. I AM DYING HERE. 😁😁😁

ok ladkiYAAAN nahi, exactly ONE ladki has said you have kanji aankhein that are satrangi. and she’s your wife. she’s obligated to gas you up. zyaada udne ki zaroorat nahi hai. 🙄🙄🙄

“LET ME SEE”!?!? OMG??????????????? 😧😧😧

UM OK, were our two fav beautiful-eyed sociopaths about to kiss??? I BELIEVE THEY WEREEEEE!!!!!!!!! ANIKA WHO???????? CHANDINI WHAT? HETEROSEXUALITY WHERE????????? 🙃🙃🙃

personal headcanon: they’re college friends, who were bi-curious and experimented... otherwise, explain the totally casual touching (shivaay adjusting advay’s coat, advay’s hand on shivaay’s shoulder drawing him in), and the sex eyes they just made at each other to me. EXPLAIN! YOU CAN’T!!!!!!!!!! 👬🏽👬🏽👬🏽

is advay talking about anika... or HIMSELF???? 😐😐😐

MOAR SOFT SEX EYES. 👀👀👀

oh. so shivaay is fully aware of advay’s “mission”? 😗😗😗

i bet they’re both part of some sort of “4 Lions Men” forum/newsletter thing, where they keep up with each others’ news, and share the latest techniques in grabbing, arm-twisting, throwing aukaat-related insults, how to compel a woman to marry you, etc. 😒😒😒

like... i know ASR is talking about anika, but i can’t help but frame every passive aggressive thing he’s saying about love as a reference to himself. 😌😌😌

(jesus christ i ship this so fucking much.) 💘💘💘

ship name: #YYSinghs (get it? Vaay-Vay.) 😊😊😊

wait is advay pronounced “ad-way” or “ad-why”? if it’s the former, then ship name is #VaayVayOrTheHighway. 🙃🙃🙃

lmao ok advay, that insertion of show name line was a little clunkyyy and forced. try harder, please. 🙄🙄🙄

even your boyfriend shivaay wasn’t impressed. he’s like “kar liya promotion? ab footage khaana bandh kar aur phuttt yahan se. 😒😒😒”

lmaoooo more meta. 😄😄😄

that wink! 😆😆😆

ouff advay, kahaan i want you to make a move on our man here, and here you’re pushing anika on him. 😤😤😤

chalo, tum naa sahi, toh i’ll take her. i’ll try and make my peace with it. 😕😕😕 heterosexuality wins again. ugh. 🙄🙄🙄

daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn omRu. “jo bhi karna hai ab hum karenge”, indeed! I FUCKING LOVE ITTTTTTTT. 😘😘😘

Arshi FF: Charade - Chapter 4

Chapter 3 // Read on FFnet // Read on Wattpad

Chapter 4: Casualty

“I will stay, in this house, under this roof, but only if you marry me.”

“What utter fucking nonsense.”

It seemed that not even the great ASR had expected the proposition.

Or proposal, as it were.

Khushi tried to explain, “This way I can stay with Jiji and you can make sure that I don’t hurt Anjali-ji.”

And you can protect us both from Shyam-ji.

“What the hell are you saying?”

“Come to the house tomorrow and ask for my hand. They’ll arrange it all quickly, especially if you tell Anjali-ji that you want it done as soon as possible.”

“Are you out of your mind?” Arnav-ji pushed her into a wall, teeth gritted as his careful control seemed to slip away, “What is this? A distraction? A way to keep me occupied so you and Shyam can plan to run away?”

“No!” she took a deep breath, “Look, you said that the only way I can remain here is if I live in this house. I am agreeing, but with this one condition.”

He searched her eyes, and whatever he found there made him step away. “You’re serious.”

Khushi nodded, “Don’t you see? Shyam-ji will torment Jiji if I disappear, he’ll make her life a living Hell. I can’t leave.”

“And if you marry someone else?”

“He’ll see that I don’t want … That I ch-chose someone e-else.”

“That you chose me?”

Arnav-ji closed his eyes but not before she saw the conflict that shone there. Her heart dared to hope as he took three deep breaths. His calm returned.

“Not tomorrow. If we do this, we do it tonight.”

“But …”

He grabbed her wrist, twisting her so she could see the altar inside. She hissed in pain as he spoke. “Either you’re innocent and you’ll do anything to protect your sister, or you’re trying to buy time so you can destroy Di. Choose. Now.”

“No. I can’t … not like this.”

“Then leave. I’ll write you a blank cheque.”

He released her to stride away.

The world seemed to reduce to just this moment, this poolside decorated with fairy lights and his retreating figure. Her heart twisted in agony. She forced her mind to play it out, to consider leaving her sister at Shyam-ji’s mercy. Aakash-ji would protect her, and Arnav-ji would eventually destroy the hold Shyam-ji had over Anjali-ji. But her heart rebelled, refusing to let her sister come to harm because of her own inability to tell the truth all those months ago.

“Wait.”

He stopped. Turned. Returned to her side, expression unreadable.

Khushi made the impossible choice, “Yes. I’ll marry you tonight.”

The words seemed to sap the little strength that remained in her body. She lost the battle against her tears, sobbing into her hands as he watched, seemingly unaffected. Then she swayed, her knees buckling unexpectedly, but caught herself on the small table beside her.

When she looked up, Arnav-ji was running a hand through his hair, “They’re still waiting.”

She nodded, “I’m ready.”

Instead of leading the way as she’d expected, he proffered a handkerchief, “Tidy yourself up, it will look bad enough when we return without your tears.”

Khushi complied, wary of this unexpected kindness. He nodded his approval when she looked at him expectantly and then pocketed the cloth, inclining his head towards the doors. She felt his gaze burn into her every step of the way.

Bua-ji was the first to notice when she arrived at the top of the stairs, “Oh, there she is! Khushi! Where were you? We were all …”

She trailed away, her gaze shifting, and Khushi guessed that Arnav-ji had appeared behind her. The silence of the crowd changed subtly from curious and concerned to scandalised. Whispers erupted as they crossed the room. Khushi avoided her father’s eyes, dreading what she would read there.

“Khushi-ji!” Nanhe-ji pointed his video camera in their direction, “And Nannav! Where have you two been?”

“You haven’t started?” she tried to lighten the atmosphere with a stretch of her lips.

“Aakash was waiting for Nannav,” her friend explained, “We can start now that you two are here.”

“Yes,” Nani-ji forced a smile at the priest, “Let’s begin.”

Jiji and Aakash-ji exchanged garlands before taking their places at the altar, but Khushi’s eyes were constantly drawn to the tall figure beside them. He stared back. The ceremony passed in a blur. Khushi tried to smile for her sister, but the implications of her decision churned in her mind. Her eyes found Arnav-ji as his brother and her sister took their vows, and again as he placed his marks on her — a mangalsutra about her neck and sindoor in her hair. She watched as they were pronounced husband and wife and started to take blessings from both their families.

“I warned you,” Bua-ji had approached unnoticed, “What were the two of you doing?”

“Nothing,” Khushi tried to smile, “Just a few last minute preparations.”

The interrogation stalled as Jiji and Jija-ji approached, touching Bua-ji’s feet and receiving her blessings before hugging her. Then Jiji was in her arms, sobbing as they embraced.

“Khushi …”

“Jiji …”

She wept, the knowledge that she was about to break her sister’s heart tearing her own to shreds.

“Khushi.”

Arnav-ji had appeared beside her. Jiji straightened with a sniffle and bowed in tandem with Aakash-ji to receive blessings from her jeth-ji.

“What the—?” Arnav-ji stepped backwards so that for a moment it seemed that he stood next to her and Aakash-ji and Jiji had bowed to them both.

“Chhote,” Nani-ji smiled, “You cannot escape this. They need your blessings.”

He muttered something that sounded suspiciously like absurd before pulling his brother up and gathering him in an embrace, “Congratulations, Aakash. Be good to her.”

“Yes, Bhai.”

Khushi blinked back tears as Arnav-ji nodded to Jiji.

“Here, Sanka Devi, take this,” Bua-ji pressed a platter into her hands before turning to Arnav-ji, “Arnav-babua, that needs to go into the temple, help her.”

Given permission to leave, Khushi stepped forward to offer the platter, eyes lowered. His hands closed over hers as he took it, and her eyes flew up to his as she was instantly transported to another time when he’d done much the same thing. He left the platter on a low table instead of taking it to the temple area and gestured towards the front door when they were out of sight. Khushi followed, noting that he slowed his pace enough to allow her to overtake him.

His car was ready, parked near the door, and she climbed inside without hesitation. Their silence was broken by the shrill ring of his phone. Arnav-ji tapped the Bluetooth device at his ear before starting the car.

“Yeah? …. Yes, we’ve left” his eyes flicked over to her as he drove, “Good, make sure everything is ready … Yes.”

He ended the call, returning them to silence. Khushi watched the familiar landmarks rush by, her pulse quickening with every minute that brought them closer to the temple. Arnav-ji didn’t look at her again until he’d parked the car inside the temple grounds.

When he spoke, his tone was low, soft, saturated with some emotion she couldn’t identify, “You understand that this is not real?”
