So many layers to both of them. I would not say that Arnav did not love her before marriage. Maybe it was not love love but it was not just lust either because had it been that, he would not have taken that moment to realise that she would not reciprocate because her refusal wouldn't have mattered then. Also his jealousy with Suraj seems to make me feel the same too.
Getting married to get the way he did was wrong, of course, but at least now he realizes it and is scared of losing her specially seeing how she still is with her father.
Her outburst however was much needed because as I have been stressing they need to talk and of it be this way then okay because both of them need to stop sitting on their real feelings and instead let them out if they actually want to further their relationship into a mature, understanding companionship.
This way at least Khushi said out loud what she fears about him punishing her and Arnac expressed his inability to show that he cares in any other way and how he views his own behaviour in the early days of their marriage. Now hopefully they will try to address these issues together.
Great job.
