Episode 297 Maha 

Ha-Ha-Happy Birthday 

Arnav is surprised that it is Khushi's birthday and Buaji scolds Arnav for not remembering her birthday.She is right, majority men are same like Arnav.Later Akash will tell him for girls how important these days are. I love this maha, as this brings Khushi, our old Khushi back.Her carefree, nonchalant ways, full of mischievousness with her Buaji was my grabber.But at the same time, SIL Arnav who was greeted at the door by the neighbor and then welcomed by Buaji and all was something melted me.A multimillionaire was so tender and at the top so humble.Afraid of Buaji like a child, steady at his mission to woe his wife by wishing her, doing something which he never did before the very same way as he never said sorry.BUT Khushi is his and he can do whatever with her as always.She deserves it.She said once to him that you won't say sorry to me because of my status and he proved her that has no meaning for him in such case it is his hesitancy that hinders such act.Still, Khushi has to know a lot about her man. After the aarti, both Khushi and Arnav take Buaji's blessings and the rest of the family wishes Khushi a happy birthday. Arnav attempts to say "Happy Birthday" to Khushi when Buaji threatens him to stay for lunch which he accepts and Buaji leaves them alone so he could wish Khushi but he failed to do so.Poor guy is trying so hard.I feel for him.

He cleans his hands in front of broken mirror scolding himself as a third person,"Arnav Singh Raizada..." I found it cute though...The other side, Buaji taking Nazar of Khushi.No doubt, she was looking so cute in this act to which he also finds cute.Her smile brings a smile to his face.He was upset thinking that Khushi can't smile or laugh like this in RM.It was hurtful for him. Buaji asks Khushi if Arnav has wished her to which she says no. She even tells Buaji that till this day, Arnav has never wished anyone a happy birthday, according to Lavanya... which surprises Buaji. At the Raizada house, Mamiji intentionally keeps Payal busy which in return ends up burning Akash's lunch. Akash yells at Payal telling her that she needs to stop paying so much attention to her sister as she was busy making her fav dishes and start paying more attention to him.

A cute moment.Arnav attempts to explain himself to Buaji on the fact that he did not know it was her birthday. He says that he would be able to make up with his wife but wonders why Buaji is miffed with him. Buaji tells Arnav that in order to please her, he must eat whatever she has made, to which he agrees.Arnav trying to please Buaji. It's nice to see how much he cares about her family and that he wants to see them happy. It's really nice to see how his relationship with Buaji has changed since first meeting them. At first, Buaji didn't really like the Raizada's, especially after the way Arnav treated Khushi but she now treats him with so much love like her Babua

Buaji piles his plate many times with the food and he quietly finishes it.Buaji states to Arnav that she is no longer miffed with him as he continued to eat everything that was given to him. Later that day, he presents Khushi with a present to which she is surprised; a new bag.

Khushi shows Buaji and Amma her gift and says that it's from Arnav's manager Aman as his name was on the parcel... Upset, Arnav takes Khushi to the side and reminds her that he gave her the gift. When she asks him if he picked it out, bought it and packed it; to which he replied no; she makes him realize he has not bought her the gift.

 He then says to Buaji and Amma that he should be leaving and is about to ask Khushi to come along. Khushi diverts and tells him to go and she will be home soon.I could feel his helplessness in the doorway when he asks Khushi if she will indeed return home, to which she says she has no other option but to do so.Here I felt a helplessness in her voice.How hard it is for both to stay away but at the same time staying together wasn't easy either.

At the Raizada house, Arnav informs Nani that today is Khushi's birthday. Nani realizes that Knowing the condition of the house and everything that happened, Khushi would not want her birthday to be celebrated in such a big manner.She knows how Khushi is sensible in such cases.

When she asks Arnav is he had wished her a happy birthday, he makes an excuse of a conference call and leaves. Arnav is then sitting by the poolside doing something on his laptop when NK comes by. When he sees Arnav searching about birthday surprises, NK gets happy. He realizes its Khushi's birthday and is glad to see that Arnav wants to do something nice for her. Arnav asks NK to leave him alone as Khushi is already upset with him. NK realizes that Arnav must have forgotten Khushi's birthday and begins to give him ideas on how to pacify her. NK puts forth a few good suggestions, from bringing Salman Khan for her to singing "Happy Birthday" to her, to take her on a trip, but Arnav turns down each of them. NK reminds him not to turn down his ideas as it was his New Year's Eve plan that brought them together. Arnav then gets an idea of how to please Khushi. On her way back home, It was nice to see NK give Arnav various ideas on how to please Khushi, even though Arnav turned each one of them down. It was cute and funny and was really sweet when Arnav stated he wanted to do something from the heart for Khushi. Khushi is constantly complaining about her new bag. She stops by the market to buy some vegetables and places them all in her bag. When she returns home, Arnav is glad to see her. Before he can say happy birthday to her, he is shocked to see what she has done to the bag; it seeped in with tomato juice. 

The two have a discussion on the bag and Khushi is shocked when Arnav tells her the bag cost 2 lacks.I didn't like this part though but again at this point writing was haywire. Nani is cute here asking Arnav to take Khushi's bag.LOL, ASR and wife's bag full of vegetables in his hand...Nani takes Khushi's aarti and blesses her and Khushi then hands out laddoos that Buaji gave her to Nani, Payal and NK. They all then leave Arnav and Khushi alone as he again attempts to say happy birthday to her, which he again fails at... Khushi then decides to go to her room, but Arnav stops her saying that she can't go in there just yet. Not knowing what her husband means, she retreats to the kitchen. "OK, then I am going to Buaji's home..." I was like girl don't test ASR that much with your empty threats... After a long intense drama, we are seeing a lighter, happier, funnier episode which was nice for a change.It was nice to see a much happier and funnier episode, seeing Arnav bonding with Khushi's family, her miffed state with him and his trying to pacify her by all means.
