Aryan Singh Rathore = Arnav Singh Raizada?

Hello everyone,

This is my first post in the Imlie forum *nervous excited claps*

First of all no hate, this is just an analysis of whether or not Aryan is similar to Arnav considering they're both ASRs and the current track that's going on. And actually this commentary is running in my head ever since Aryan was introduced in the show for the first time - and 4lions seems to have identical episodes and moments written in every first ten episodes of a show - so I was waiting for his character to develop. And what a development it was!

I usually run a little Tumblr - Jalebi Weds Bluetooth - discussing IPK when I came across a question about Aryan and I thought why don't I share it with you all and give my two cents as well?

(I know this is an Imlie forum and the point of this is to draw comparison between two heroes of the same production house and engage in a fruitful conversation.)

Hello Anon!

Yes I'm doing well thank you. I hope you're well too :)

Yes I have been watching Imlie (I was invested in the friendship between Aryan and Imlie, not this forced marriage thing) and according to me, I do not think Aryan and Arnav share any similarities!

I think anytime Aryan's character falters in the show is when they try to force him into Arnav's shoes - otherwise independently he's an extremely charming character.

Warning, the following is my interpretation which can definitely be different per person!

Here are the similarities between Aryan and Arnav:

- Both saw the death of a family member that left them traumatized.

- Both are successful.

- They have a Singh for a middle name.

- Both are extremely possessive and soft for their families.

- Both have the same initials.

- Both are really good at sniffing out malicious people. I will forgive Arnav for not understanding Shyam because Shyam was in Arnav's blindspot. Otherwise both Arnav and Aryan are really well aware of the world.

- They're introverts who are a little constipated in expressing their feelings.

- They are christened with atrangi names by the female leads.

- Both are obsessed with sunglass waala entry. I don't think you can be a 4lions hero if you don't have a sunglass. That's why Haider was in a webshow - he didn't have a sunglass so he wasn't promoted to a tv show.

Now here are the differences between Aryan and Arnav:

- Arnav was traumatized as a child and has shaped his whole life in response to trauma. He suffers from PTSD and hasn't dealt with it at all. Aryan had a relatively sweeter life and was traumatized at 23 seeing his jijaji being burned alive due to misinformation.

Although their traumas stem from family death, the impact of it on their psyches are incredibly different different because Arnav was a child seeing his parents commit suicide and Aryan, a fully grown adult, saw an unfortunate event where he could not help. Aryan suffers from the guilt of not being able to help despite being old enough - which is why he does everything in his power to help Imlie without having any kind of relationship to her. Aryan's mantra is to not let anyone else suffer at the hands of Aditya like his dear brother in law. I swear Aryan would've helped Malini if he was early in the show and learned Malini was duped into a second marriage by a very married Aditya.

Arnav hopes to never be duped like his mother nor ever end up his like his father. He suffers from the fear of abandonment where one might leave him (by dying or by cheating on him). He hates marriages because of what his parents died. His whole life, worldview and decisions have been damaged by the double suicides.

- Arnav paints the whole world in the light of the actions of his father and uncle. Aryan does not - he knows people are different and his grudge only extends to Aditya, not even Aditya's family.

- Arnav is impulsive. Aryan is cold, calm, calculative. Arnav literally acts before he thinks, Aryan always thinks before he acts.

- Arnav's emotions are often misdirected, his anger is dealt with projection. Aryan's emotions are rarely misdirected.

- Arnav is slightly immature and will not accept the truth if it hurts his ego (unless the disbelief of the truth hurts something more - for example at the guesthouse his ego was of no importance, Khushi was in danger! But otherwise despite contrary evidence he has rarely apologized to Khushi or expressed regret over his actions). Aryan, on the other hand, is extremely mature for his age.

- Arnav has the most difficult time understanding Khushi and her point of view. Her rationale needs to match his for it to make sense to him. Aryan rarely misunderstands Imlie. He understands that as a teenager and someone who's had to work hard to gain acceptance and love, there's a naivety in her rationale and tries to guide her through it and build her esteem.

- Arnav sees Khushi as his equal. Aryan often sees himself as Imlie's mentor. When Khushi/Arnav is in trouble, they work as a team. When Aryan/Imlie are in trouble, he often guides her out of trouble or helps in bettering her plans. More than once Aryan attempts to impart wisdom to Imlie and make her understand that she isn't responsible for the wellbeing of a 35 years old man.

- Sexual attraction plays a key role in Arnav-Khushi's relationship.

Platonic trust plays a key role in Aryan-Imlie's relationship.

credit: aye-masaklii on Tumblr

- Arnav is afraid of the intensity of his emotions for Khushi. Aryan isn't - he's almost always comfortable for what he feels for Imlie, he has a bit stiffness when he realises his emotions are turning romantic but even then he's not going through an earth shattering storm that Arnav goes through when he realises his attraction to Khushi means more than what he thought.

- Aryan is a feminist - he's concerned about Imlie's career without any romantic connection to her. He believes in equal rights for everyone regardless of anything. Arnav isn't - he's a liberal who believes each should have their independent lives and hates archaic traditions that makes his life difficult. He wants Khushi to have financial independence out of practicality, and honestly he's comfortable in the way his traditional house runs as long as it doesn't interfere his life.

- Aryan believes intentions matter more than consequences. Arnav believes consequences matters more than intentions. Which is why Aryan is lot more kinder to whatever Imlie does and how he justifies the way he forced her into marriage (apparently protecting her from Adtiya's clingy nature is more important to him than the fact he violated the trust of a friend for which Imlie might be more traumatized), and why Arnav usually has a lot of things under his control and rightly never trusts Shyam and has his doubts on his Dadi's intentions when she arrives home. And when he forces Khushi to stay back by hurting her, he does not doubt that what he has done will have drastic consequences. He knows his intention to hold back Khushi won't matter and certain things have broken between them. Aryan, on the other hand, is not being able to understand the consequences of his intentions. He hopes his intentions are more than enough for what's happening.

credit: jalebi weds bluetooth on Tumblr

- Arnav never denies he's been brutal to Khushi. Neither does Arnav ever admit to being a nice guy in general. He knows he's not - it's how he easily deals with the brutal world. He doesn't openly admit it, but he does not see himself as being good because he has better intentions or never crossed a line in his and Khushi's marriage or because he loves Khushi intensely. For him what matters is he loves Khushi and she loves him and that love is honest and real. Aryan think he's a good person (which he is) but he refuses to be called as a monster even if his actions are hurting people around him, he refuses to see his actions beyond his intentions and gets hurt when Imlie accuses him of being monstrous when his actions do appear shocking. He does not realise that by forcing this marriage on Imlie, he has incited true fear and disgust in her. He somehow believes she will still have the trust she had in him two days ago. I couldn't help but roll my eyes when he insinuated not being a monster because he's not going to sleep in the same bed as her - she literally does not know why Aryan is choosing to legitimize the marriage!

- Arnav never breaks his word. The world might shake but he'll never change a word nor break it. Aryan breaks his word as and when convenient. He does not break trust, but his promises come with a loophole.

- Aryan believes in the greater good. Arnav believes in present repercussions.

Aryan falters as a character only when he's forced into being Arnav Singh Raizada, otherwise he's an amazingly complex character on his own. He and Imlie stand out for their own story. If anything, the creators of Imlie should continue the story keeping the characters in mind, not of the events that became famous with ArShi!

Because Aryan literally arrives in Imlie's life as a savior. He saves her more than she saves him.

But in IPK, Khushi and Arnav both save each other a little bit. He gives her an environment to be truly loved regardless and she brings him into light. Theirs was a fateful, star crossed tragedy that ended with a happily ever after. Newer shows should stick to their new materials and tropes that match the new story!

So I sincerely hope we go back to seeing friendship and humor in Imlie cause I was there for that! Not angst.

Imlie is 19, she shouldn't be going through two marriage with two older men against her will - neither one of whom she was in love with! It's heartbreaking cause one was the village forcing her and the other was this one man she truly trusted as her best friend and even lived in his house.

Ugh. I hate this cause a week ago we heard the female version of Jaaniya and I squealed in happiness when Imlie saw Aryan recover and pulled his cheek - relief spilling as tears in her eyes on seeing him safe.

Like I literally saw the beginning of love there... I swear the whole reel of those two laughing and swaying softly to Chaap Tilak has my whole heart. I don't need angst in this story, I need trust! Aryan and Imlie are extremely unique as a pair for their trust, friendship and humor. It's the only story where trust comes before love.

credit: aye masakalii on Tumblr

The best angst in this story was Aryan falling for Imlie, a young woman who chooses to never love given her bitter past, and the complexities of it considering she trusts him more than any she loves and he knows his role in her life is of one as a mentor. So where does love fit here? A love he can't deny! A softness he can't help but develop! And Imlie realizing that the mentor she idolized has his deep secrets, yet she's willing to trust him against the world. Ugh.

Phew, with that my first post is done. A big thank you to anyone who has read this 🤗! I will be popping around the fandom for little takes on this show.

Best,

Hi,

This is literally the most apt description I have heard. Aryan indeed isn't realising the fact that the way imlie isn't responsible for a 35 year old man, she also doesn't deserves to be tied in another loveless marriage when she hadn't healed from the first one.

If he was adamant on putting forth his conditions, he should've kept something like staying away from Adi and his family but alas his right intentions with the worst way would inflict a trauma on a 19-year old girl.

S! OMFG IT'S BLUE. I AM LITERALLY SCREAMING AT SEEING YOU HERE AND WRITING ABOUT MY TWO FAVE BABIES. OMG.

WILL RETURN WHY I THINK ARNAV WAS A PERFECT ANTIHERO AND WHY ARU IS THE PERFECT "FLAWED GUARDIAN ANGEL WHO FALTERS AND RECTIFIES" HERO IN A MINUTE.

TAGGING A TOO

OMG BLUEEEE!!!!! I WAS WONDERING WHERE YOU WENT *HUGGGGGGGZZZ*

I love Aryan because he's the first non toxic hero of 4Lions and I love Arnav because he was the epitome of an anti hero. Bas! Keh diya so keh diya.

Also I forgot another very important similarity between Arnav-ji and Aru.

They are too handsome. It is not fair.

Flawed guardian angel? Ah very interesting - and fits Aryan to the T. Can't wait to hear from you <3

Hello,

Oh thank you so much for liking what I wrote! To be honest I wouldn't have had a problem with the track if it didn't cost Aryan's character and character growth. I was completely on board with the fact that he probably kept his poison for Aditya simmered because he chose to help Imlie first - thus giving Aryan further room to note Aditya from a closer perspective.

It's the forcing Imlie to marry him that's not quite sitting well. This was the same man who fought against a forced marriage in PD. Also, he just pushed her towards Adi by demonizing herself and making her go through this for the sake of Adi.

I don't know, I am so confused. I wish there was any random reason apart from Aryan forcing her and even there I think what's worse is he's gaslighting her into thinking she has an option. She does not. He's giving her the illusion of choice! Not an actual choice.

And I LOVE Aryan. I can't even begin with how oddly fascinating he is. I couldn't stop laughing when he started asking Imlie about work or his classic one liners and jokes! Him calling up Imlie to say he got wounded because of her random slipper *claps* And his comebacks to AC was also *claps*

I was invested in every single Jaaniya!

Thank you for commenting!

I have my tashan with Aruji so not commenting on the handsomeness quotient.

Another very important similarity, but it's marvelous how diametrically opposite it works in both of them : both are super possessive about their ladies. But while Arnav could be very toxic about it, Aryan literally rectifies and checks it. Till he couldn't with the wedding track. But even now it's more about stopping Imlie from self-destructing and having her in his life than yeh kisi aur ki nahi ho sakti bullshit.

Aru is a top-notch brown munda.

Thoughts on the marriage track : it could be better written. Like, you cannot give me a gaping plothole like Aru letting those idiots go scott free.

This marriage has been triggered by his own unhealed trauma of losing people + his need to stop Imlie from self-destruction. He truly is the Shiva to her unfettered Shakti.

I understand what he's trying to do by converting himself into a dummy villain for Imlie to grow back her spine and fight him. To think for herself once in her life. And I honestly I don't want her to go the Arshi or Shivika way. Make him pay, Imaliya.

But, my god, him using her trigger to do this is sooooo idiotic. Like, I geddit, you wanna keep the girl invested in a game of chess but no. I don't think that Imlie doesn't love Aryan yet. I think she's someone who values labels a lot. So whatever sense of heroism she gets from being self-sacrificial for the Tripathis keeps her from every recognising anything else. She really needs any sort of reassurance that he's doing this for her and not the badla. I DON'T THINK THEIR EQUATION WAS EVER ENTIRELY PLATONIC OR DEVOID OF ATTRACTION. THE ATTRACTION ALWAYS SIMMERED UNDETECTED BECAUSE OF IMLIE'S BAGGAGE WHICH KHUSHI DID NOT HAVE.

This idiot, too, c-ckblocks himself by never clarifying this. She goaded him to complete his teesri baat on Monday, and he brought up the stupid badla again???????🤡

Make the marriage a consensual one, damnit!

I see an "I love you, damnit." for these two clowns.

Oh my goodness! Amazeballs! Girllll (assuming you are one), this is gold..pure gold. Now, I haven't watched IPKKND. But the well thought out analysis makes me see why the character is loved even till now (well, you also had Sobti playing it😆).

I love how you went into detail with Aryan's characteristics. I was like Yes, Yes, Yes! Yes to everything that you pointed out!

(Pfft..Amy,you should be ashamed). I have watched the post Aryan episodes and yet if you ask me to at least sketch him out..the max I would be able to sputter out would be .."He is good. He is good looking and he likes to walk the talk. " 😆

Saying that, I am very well capable of talking about in detail how he is wrong now. 😆 But not gonna go there. He has either some untreated head injury from the prev episode or he badly needs another one cuz this whole "Tum kya karlogi" isn't sitting well with me..however noble he might seem. Fingers crossed he has a change of mind..and truly go with a 50-50 partnership. Imlie is in the wrong, needs guidance.. does not equate to I will also be a dhakkan and be in the wrong. And then he sulks when Imlie misunderstands him. My Boi, deej eej not de way to do bujiness here. I was hoping that he would spill the beans to Arpita who would make him see sense. But then Imlie who can't hurt apne interferes.

You mentioned Aryan breaks word as per convenience. Apart from this fake turning to real shaadi, did any other incident occur which made you conclude that?

I don't think we have ever seen him metting out promises to anyone apart from Meethi? And the ones he gave out in his monologues? He hasn't broken those. Eeeeish

Yeah..that's what I thought too. But wondered if I missed any.. hence asked S.

That convo with Meethi ❣ I still can't get over that. Those 2 PD epi..had everything- tashan, mentorship, angst, humor, understanding..ticks all the boxes. I can happily tolerate him in those hideous red pants again instead of what's going on now 😆
