Well Sandhya...
It is touching to see Arnav maintaining the balance...
He knows that if he acknowledges Garima as his mom, his siblings who have no inkling of it would feel devasted and to an extent betrayed...
Even though Garima gave birth to him and gave him away due to whatever be the circumstance she had to face, the bottom line is she gave him away thinking that he would have a better life...
But the only person who had cherished him, had to give up her life in order to protect him from the mire and mudslinging...
Is it strange for Arnav to accept her wholeheartedly as his mother and no one else???
Which is beyond the call of motherhood???
Definitely Ahalya tops here...
If Arnav now acknowledges her as just a foster parent he is under delusion...
That is what he told Khushi...
Its not giving birth that counts its how much love and care you lavish on the child that counts...
Ahalya had made him feel secure in her love until the day of her death when he unwittingly came to know the truth of his birth. Even then for him Ahalya was, is, will be his mother and his instinct has always been to protect his siblings...
Now is it surprising that he spurned Khushi's love when confronted with his Di's accident...
He had an example before him how his mom sacrificed her life protecting him. Her sacrifice and act made Anjali, Arnav and Ana secure from a chaotic life...
So in his own way, his priority being his family and thought because of his dallying with Khushi (eventhough it was anything but that) he was not able to protect his sis.. He would always be filled with guilt that because of him his sisters were deprived of their mom too...
Am I right??? 😉
