I think you are peeling off the present Khushi in layers. First, her defying devi maiyya and now, the almost in-humane philosophy about stars being nothing more than a ball of gas. Not that Arnav does not deserve punishment, but I pity him but most of all I pity Khushi - to have turned into an almost life-less and heartless woman from the bubbly-lovely girl that she was.
And the jalebis that she was frying the morning - was it because she was quite upset at what she'd done and what had happened to her?
"...Khushis eyes, ruthless, cold and more demonic that ever before."
Love😊
