😭 Arnav and YOU made me cry

I know that everyone talks about Arnav's character growth but what about everyone else. Arnav's character is not stunted. It has just been distorted by life experiences. Others who went thru the same experiences are also distorted but their distortions are below the surface. Isn't the known devil better than the unknown devil?

Has Khushi demonstrated character growth or do we still have the same character as from episode 1? Consider this story as well as the show itself. Arnav has demonstrated an ability to change, adapt. Khushi has not. And let us be honest, Khushi has her character flaws as well. Her tendency to hide things under the carpet, lie, live under false pretensions of happiness for all are to me more dangerous than Arnav's anger issues. At least with him, you know where you stand, what you are getting. I find it hard to trust characters like Khushi that insist all is hunky dory or live in la la land.

Coming to the other characters, Anjali is as broken as Arnav, just has a polished veneer so is all the more dangerous.

Payal, at least has a little bit of a backbone in your story but in the show she has actually regressed and gone from dignified to pathetic.

I don't mean to single out Khushi but since she is the female protagonist, she should come under equal scrutiny. What learning has she demonstrated from the life experiences she has undergone in this story and in the show? As far as this story is concerned, does she not know Arnav and his temper enough? Does she not know that he reacts and then regrets? How can you claim to be in love with someone, live with them for 6 months and still expect them to not be who you know they are?

I am not asking Khushi to turn around and forgive him pronto but I would like to see character growth in her too. She is not perfect. The entire issue of the 6 month marriage is entirely due to her inability to speak the truth no matter how bitter. Her inability to judge people. Her taking away the right of others to decide the course of their lives. how has she improved/

That is my question.

an excellent comment my friend! too good!

Yes you are absolutely right in justifying character growth or the lack of it in Khushi. I guess her actions are being driven on the disbelief that Arnav after having made all the promises in the world decided to just walk away so easily. Khushi has never spoken up for herself when she has been in pain (not referring to the starting of the serial when she used to break free).. she has always thought about her rebelling would hurt the people around her.. but this time, it is all about herself.. she is hurt, nobody else's happiness is in line. She is the one in the doldrums and it is her who has decided enough is enough.

all during the 6 month marriage, she has not seen a consistent Arnav. He knew she risked her life to save him, yet the day after he threw Shyam out of the house, he ended up yelling at her and holding her responsible for his sister's state. she has been swinging like a yo yo with alternate bursts of hot and cold blowing from Arnav. Would it be wrong to say, she thinks she has misjudged him too? Maybe... maybe not... but end of the line, it is all about misunderstandings and jumping the gun.. Khushi was upset but not mad at Arnav (in this story) till the time she thought Arnav had taken off his ring thereby ending all plausible relations with her. a huge misconception.. Would things have been different had that event not happened. Maybe... maybe not..

Khushi being in the la la land, i think she prefers living in denial (as do most of the characters in the serial 🤢)

thanks again for sharing your thoughts. I aim to work towards her character growth too as the story progresses.

cheers! 😊
