very nice post...but I was hesistant to reply as I had promised myself not be part of over analysis of a fictional show...but hey...I could not control myself 😉

I agree with what monsi writes that Arnav was preoccupied and the thought of money never came to him and considering his past behavior he was sooo well behaved yesterday and in the coming days I sure think he will turn out to be a knight in shining armour for Kushi 😆

Dabba does not signify begging as is being wrongly presumed. I appreciate what the CVs where trying to do but goofed up in execution, IMHO.

 

I am not presuming that she was begging for she had every right to her salary but the scene came across a little uncivilised for the unintiated like me. It is only here I came to know of the practice of not touching money even if you have earned it. I agree the execution could have been better.  Maybe Khushi could have just handed over the dabbha to him and asked for her salary instead of standing there with the open dhabba in an outstretched hand.

In a lot of small businesses, where the salary is paid in cash and the employee let us assume for a second needs to carry the cash in a public transport, the Dabba is the safest place to put your salary keeping the pickpockets in mind. It is a common practice which we who are used to our salary being credited in our accounts might be unaware of. The logic - it is far easier for a handbag or purse to be picked than a steel dabba.

She thought that she would be paid in cash and she handed over the dabba. Ideally she should have collected the cash and put it in her dabba but handing over the dabba like that makes for a dramatic effect which I have to admit seems to have made the desired effect.

 

It did have a dramatic effect, no doubt but many got put off by it. While it was not tasteful, I could look past it.  In fact I could look past any of Khushi's actions. She is so adorable.

I actually liked the whole TDS thing...this guy follows good accounting business practices,although I have no idea under what he is going to classify this salary expense, promotion of art and culture perhaps, lol.
Seriously , I also appreciated that he had the cheque ready anticipating her need for her salary and keeping everything ready.

Wouldn't be surprised if he did classify it as promotion of art and culture. After all the guy owns a fashion house, so it wouldn't be totally out of place! Maybe it was her salary day because she did mention to the doctor that she was expecting her salary.  It wasn't the first of the month but then maybe it is being paid out based on the day she joined.   

 

Why should he pay the bills in the first place without even asking her. Wouldn't that be a dent in her self respect if he did that. She does not expect him to pay too. Yes, he might offer to do it today and if she refuses, he will convince her that she can treat it as a loan and she can pay it back, I think he respects her a lot to do something which might be wrongly misconstrued on her part especially when they have progressed a bit in their relationship.

I agree with you here but then he could have always offered her that loan even before or simply as a salary advance. Employers do offer such monetary help  in such emergencies even without being asked.

Anjali did make the offer of providing all forms of help, it is upto khushi or khushi's family to take up on the offer. So far they haven't asked for anything haven't they?

Forget all forms of help.  Khushi had clearly indicated that she needed that Rs.3000.  She could have volunteered to pay from her household expenses (I'm sure she must have some) and actually gone in to get it. I am not really liking this Anjali.  She comes out as a weak character who has not much of a say in anything although she may be well meaning. 

 
As for Arnav he anticipated the need for her money, kept the cheque ready when she came, when he realized it would not be sufficient, he immediately went and wrote what i presume is a personal cheque and he will probably go to the hospital to ensure that she is not put under further financial duress and offer to help and maybe convince her to take his help. That would be in his character just as khushi's initial refusal to take his help.

I still felt he could have shown more sensitivity and acted more promptly.

The employee employer gap was bridged the moment he showed up at the hospital the first time for her and the second time again for her. He would not do the same for say jaiprakash or his family would he.

You are right.

Loved your post btw, absolutely loved the attention to detail to all aspects.👏

 

thanks
