Jalebi, I've always wondered why Khushi seemed to have her hair down during the episodes where Arnav was kidnapped? I feel like it meant something and there was some intent behind it, but I never figured it out, and I think there's no one better than you to ask. So, why do you think Khushi had her hair down when Arnav was away?
Because Arnav was her hairstylist, hence without him she couldn’t pin her hair.
(Or Barun was Sanaya’s cause her hair returned to a better state when he was back 😂)
Honestly I have no idea. Sanaya is so easy to style but all her shows only style her hair right for half of its duration 😂. For Rangrasiya and IPK it’s the first half of its runtime, for MJHT it’s the second half.
(wow, so simple and beautiful)
(what’s with the fringe???)
(legit stunning, you can’t even see the wig and my heart is dying)
(sorry I love Khushi but what’s with the weird dated fringe and bangs and a very visible wig ?? And it gets worse - her bangs get better but the wigs keep growing higher 😭)
(YOU CAN LITERALLY SEE THE WIG, THEY DIDN’T EVEN TRY 😭)
(look what the small change does 😭)
So I don’t think it’s anything symbolic, I just think they tried to experiment with a style that didn’t work. They got heavier with her makeup as well which didn’t work much either in my opinion. Sanaya really shines with less makeup that enhances her eyes and keeps her lips light.
And if you do want to read a lot into it, we can just say Khushi wasn’t in a mood to dress up without Arnav. Which again, I don’t think is the intent because they DO knew how to show their characters suffering in lack of clothes and makeup - which is Anjali without Shyam. It’s evident they toned down her makeup and hair to show she’s a shell without Shyam. But with Khushi everything else was same.
So, a bad hair experiment.
