Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon (Life OK) – 22nd July 2013 Written Episode

The episode starts with Khushi telling Payal to hold up, as she turns to Bua and tells her that she wants to work. Bua promptly scolds her, forbidding her to say the word “job” at all.
Bua then turns to Payal and asks her to do something for her, and sits down. Khushi is still standing, muttering to herself. Bua notices this and asks why Khushi is standing there like a municipal well spitting out water?

Suddenly, Bua has a change of heart, and tells her that whatever she does, she does for their welfare. Therefore Khushi can do whatever she wants, but first she has to explain to her parents. Khushi is stricken, as is Payal. Bua forces Khushi to call.

Shashi asks why it’s necessary for Khushi to work. Khushi asks if it’s possible to make kheer without sugar? She then looks at Bua, and quietens her voice. She tells Shashi that Bua’s pension has stopped, and she needs to help her out.

Khushi understands that they’re there only for 15days, but still, they need to help Bua, right? Shashi looks like he’s agreeing, but Garima shakes her head in the background.

Shashi tries a different track, but Khushi cuts in, reminding Shashi of what he told them – that if they put their hands over their hearts and feel they’re doing the right thing, they should. Khushi tells him it’s one of those moments.
However, Khushi also comes out and admits that it’s about ego as well. She tells Shashi that she needs to teach someone a lesson about money not being the most important thing in life.

Shashi ends up softening, and tells Khushi that he agrees because he has faith in his daughters. Garima shakes her head sadly in the background, and Khushi is ecstatic. She promises not to let him down, and asks about Garima.
Shashi says he’ll make Garima understand, and hangs up. Garima asks Shashi why he said yes when Khushi is still very naive, and that too working in Delhi?

Shashi tells Garima that their daughters are grown up, and either now or in the future, they’ll have to face society. And besides, with the punishment given to the girls, that wasn’t even their fault.

Back in Bua’s house, Khushi is excitedly hugging Payal, and Bua is shocked. She tells Khushi that she should work for the government, and then says they can do whatever, and leaves, cradling her neck.

Khushi and Payal start jumping up and down. Payal says that Khushi should be happy now that she has a job. Khushi stops all of a sudden, and looks Payal up and down, before Payal asks what’s wrong. Khushi says nothing, and quickly leaves. Payal deduces there’s something going on.

Khushi has run into the kitchen.. doing what else but making jalebis, and eating. Payal comes inside, and admonishes Khushi for eating jalebis that haven’t been fried in much oil and with barely any sugar. She asks Khushi what’s wrong.
Khushi starts crying and says that she’s going to have to work in an office. How will she do that? Payal looks at her in astonishment, and then Khushi goes on to explain that she believed Payal would get married, and then Khushi would, and then they’d talk to each other on the phone…

Future flash:
Khushi is sitting in a orange/red sari and calls Payal. She tells Payal that her “woh” has gone to work, so she and Payal can watch tv together. Payal, wearing a deep green sari, says that she’s making dhal, and soon she’ll be giving her mother-in-law her meds. Khushi says that Payal hasn’t changed a bit, and Payal hits her head laughing.

Khushi and Payal are distraught, and Payal begins crying. Khushi complains about not knowing how to work, when she realises Payal’s crying. She hugs Payal, and tells her that she’s only like this on the outside.. Payal knows. Khushi gets scared, but she still does her thing. Payal tells Khushi that no matter what, she’ll always stand beside her. Payal will never let Khushi fail.

At the Raizada mansion, Mami is sitting painting her nails, and Anjali is sitting with the pandit. The pandit tells her to give half this blessing to her husband, but Anjali tells him he’s always out, so she gets worried.
Nani comes in with Laxmi (that goat is spoiled!!) and says that Anjali’s husband goes out for work, but the way Anjali is going, it seems that Nani needs to get out as well.

Nani then turns to the pandit, and says that while he’s there, he can make a horoscope for Laxmi. Anjali & Mami are super surprised. The pandit tells Nani (for what seems the thousandth time) that he can only make horoscopes for humans. How can he make one for a goat?
Nani says the goat’s name is Laxmi, and proceeds to give out all the birth details.

The pandit finally relents.

& then he brings something quite interesting up. He asks Nani if he can bring a few proposals for Arnav. Mami interferes (without her trademark, how sad), and says that it’s the correct thing to say. Mami is completely excited about the wedding, when Nani cuts in.
“[Arnav] is my son, not some mango that you can make pickle out of when the seasons’ right.”
Mami then retorts (with her trademark) that Arnav is one step ahead, and has already made the pickle. Anjali’s mouth is wide open in shock/worry. She tries to quiet Mami down. Mami then realises, and says that Arnav will select his own bride. Anjali tries to pass it off as a joke, but Mami says she’s serious.

The pandit chooses to leave at that moment, and Nani stands up. She says that if it was a joke, it wasn’t funny. Marriage isn’t a game, whether it’s Arnav’s, Akash’s or even Dhruv’s. When the wedding happens, they’ll do it with a lot of thought.

Back at Bua’s, Khushi is running around stressing. Payal is behind her telling her to slow down, not drink the tea so quickly as it’s hot, asking her if she has money, and praying to Devi Maiya.
Khushi then walks quickly to the front door when she stops suddenly.
It’s Bua… with a pooja thali!! (*shocked as Khushi*) Bua tells Khushi not to be so shocked, and says that the elders have said that touching a pooja thali is meant to get rid of difficulties. But obviously, they didn’t realise that the meaning of difficulty was Khushi.

Bua then goes to feed Khushi some curd, but notices Khushi’s eyeing the laddoo. Bua calls her chatori no.1, and feeds her the curd, and hands her the laddoo. Khushi shoves the entire thing in her mouth.
Bua then turns to Payal, but Khushi snags the laddoo. Bua is shocked, and Khushi says that Payal doesn’t eat laddoos, and pops the 2nd one into her mouth. She eyes the third, but Bua says she’ll eat it. (LOL moment.)
Khushi then sees the time, and pinches the last laddoo, ready to make a move. Payal then asks what job Khushi will be doing, and Khushi stops, not knowing what to say.
As it turns out, Khushi forgot to ask.

Khushi runs in and out about three times, realising she’s forgetting things. Bua remarks that Khushi has no intelligence, not asking about her job or her pay, and Payal starts sobbing again. Khushi runs inside and wipes Payal’s tears, and hugs her. She grabs her bag and leaves. Bua tells Payal not to worry so much, she won’t last long in her job.

Back at the RM (Raizada Mansion), Mami is finishing her nails when Anjali comes and tells her that she was trying to quiet her down because she doesn’t want Nani finding out about Lavanya this way. Mami gets highly affronted and complains about always being told off. She walks off with her nail polish.
Anjali then decides to make a call.. it’s to Arnav. She teases Arnav about becoming a groom, and Arnav isn’t too happy about it. Anjali tells him that Mami almost let loose about a certain Miss Kashyap to Nani, and Arnav hangs up. Anjali laughs, and walks off.. and it seems Nani has heard.

Nani is now sitting in her room, and turns the TV on, while feeding Laxmi. She says that she heard about a certain Kashyap, and she wonders what’s going on. On the TV is the same reporter that outed ArHi’s first encounter. It seems he’s asking the audience about Arnav’s secret love, and wants pictures/suggestions/details. Anjali has come in with a cup of tea for Nani, and complains about the media.. saying that as soon as Arnav’s spotted with someone at a party, a link-up occurs.
Nani agrees, and drinks her tea. Anjali then asks what type of daughter-in-law Nani wants, and Nani replies she wants someone like who her son-in-law is. Anjali looks away wistfully.

Back to Khushi, who’s at the mandir now. She starts talking to Devi Maiya, and Shyam stands besides her, and notices that it’s Khushi talking. He smiles, as he listens to Khushi asking Devi Maiya to help her. Once Khushi is done, she realises Shyam’s standing next to her, and gets slightly worried.

Shyam asks Khushi why she’s so worried.. she has Devi Maiya on her side. Khushi says that it’s good she has someone she knows in the office, but Shyam tells her that he doesn’t work there. He talked to his friend, who got her a job there. He takes his leave, and Khushi turns back, rings the bell.. and puts her prasad in her bag, not seeing the appointment letter slip out. She walks off, remembers she forgot her shoes, puts them on and leaves.

Back in her room, Nani is complaining to Laxmi that she doesn’t know what’s going on. But then again, she’s their Nani. She makes a call…

Khushi stands at the entrance of her new job, and slowly walks in – it’s shown that the logo has AR written. She makes her way inside, where 3 middle-aged men are working, and Khushi introduces herself, and says it’s her first day. The man looks at her apprehensively, and asks Khushi to bring out her appointment letter.
Which is when Khushi turns her bag upside-down to find it.. but she can’t. The episode ends.
