my 2 cents are that since lavanya is suffering from depression, there can be no clarity in her thinking and to expect her to be understanding and reasonable is downright foolish. some one needs to monitor her medications, and be with her all the time to ensure she doesn't slip. obviously her father and sister did what they could. but lavanya unfortunately has not been honest with them about the issues in her marriage. she has led them to believe arnav walked out after arav died, making arnav a cruel, insensitive man. and strangely, the families involved don't want to talk to each other to help the children or the situation.

so, no I don't hate lavanya, i just wish she had the right kind of help.

To be honest, we really don't know much about Lavanya other than that she is mentally unstable and that she has been going to therapy and taking medications to help her situation. The way Arnav spoke to Lavanya is no way you would speak to someone who is mentally unstable. In this case I feel that Arnav is very insensitive. He just wants to get rid of Lavanya as soon as possible so he can continue his relationship with Khushi. I have stated what I think about Arnav and Khushi's relationship in my previous post and if this was a real life situation I would have felt the same way.

Urvi and KK, we had this discussion sometime back regarding what if Khushi was in La's place and vice versa.

Geeta (Pixiegirl) had given very good answer to this.

Firstly this is a fan fiction. The main protagonists are to have certain characteristics in them which makes this a fan fiction. For instance, Khushi's character should be honest, compassionate and yet beautiful. She should be beautiful both from outside and inside. Arnav too has to have certain characteristics similar to the original ASR's character.

Having said that Khushi can never be in La's place. If she was in lavanya's place, then this is not a Arshi fan fiction.

Once it is not a Arshi fan fiction, then there is no point to have their names as Arnav and Khushi in the first place.

So Urvi that should answer your first question.

Secondly, no one hates Lavanya here. People are angry with her, frustrated with the entire scenario but I dont think they hate her including me. Why would I hate Lavanya afterall? She is as human as me or you can be. We all do mistakes in life, maybe she has done it more than a normal person does.

Thirdly Arnav talking rudely to her. Urvi dear, just put yourself in his shoes and think.

For the one mistake he committed in his life, for having sex with her once, how much has he suffered. There is a limit to what anyone can tolerate and I think today he crossed that limit. He has been putting up with her for almost 4-5 years now. We should not forget that. He accepted Aarav even after knowing the lies and deception he has been forced upon, yet he never disclosed this fact to the world. He even tolerated Lavanya's hurtful and cruel words after his son's death, he was even patient with her in the restaurant. Common he is human too. How much shit can anyone take in one's life time??

Think about it urvi, before passing judgement on him please.

I have read many Arshi fan fictions here and many of them are not even closely related to the characters we are so used to seeing. So claiming that because this is an Arshi fan fiction, Khushi must be docile, compassionate, honest, beautiful etc. Not in my opinion. The beauty of writing a fan fiction is the freedom of choosing how you want your characters to be even if they are not closely related to the ones in the show. And the fact that Khushi cannot be Lavanya is not a viable answer (in my opinion) because this is fiction. Khushi could be a goon, a detective, a strict IPS officer because this is merely fiction and thus it does not have to comply to any rules or requirements that Khushi must act a certain way. So saying that Khushi's character should be a honest, compassionate, beautiful girl does not hold any significance of whether this is an arshi fiction or not. This is an Arshi fiction because the main characters are named after Arnav and Khushi after the Four Lions show not because Arnav is a strict businessman and Khushi is a demure, innocent girl. Thus, I repeat my question, if Khushi was Lavanya how would we scrutinize her actions? Undoubtedly, Lavanya has made several mistakes in her life which have hurt Arnav. Arnav believes that he has no future with Lavanya anymore while she is disillusioned that there is still hope of reconciliation. But when a third person comes into the picture between a husband and wife who are still legally married that's when things become complicated. Knowing that Lavanya is mentally unstable at the moment, Arnav should not be yelling and ignoring her in such a way. He should communicate with her so he can get his point across as clear as possible instead of ignoring her calls after just admitted that he is involved with another woman. Talking about their meeting in the restaurant, Arnav hardly communicated with Lavanya in a proper manner and just left abruptly. I think if he communicated with her properly, she should would not be in the situation she is in today (at the hospital). As far as Khushi is concerned, she has committed her fair of mistakes as well which makes her imperfect as Lavanya.

You said in your comment above that knowing Lavanya's mental unstableness and her condition Arnav should not yell and be angry but explain the situation and make her understand clearly. But how do you do that when the person is unstable and cannot understand or listen to reason, because If she did then neither would she be harassing him nor would she be deemed unstable.

Just think this way - same situation different scenario. There is a guy obsessed with you and is stalking you calling you repeatedly even when you have communicated a number of times you are not interested in him. What would you do? I feel this is almost similar, at least the emotions are same. How can any person be faulted for being someone else's obsession? It is not an easy place to be.

Coming to how we would react if Khushi was in Lavaya's place I would say it's simple she would be Lavanya and no longer be Khushi, because that's the character.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone and let me wholeheartedly apologize in advance but these are just my thoughts and my way of looking at it. That's all.
