I don't think its at all OTT that he is traumatized to this level...
Every1 handles grief differently ....
And there is no way to measure who is more sad and who has more trauma.......how do we know arpi is not crying n bawling inside her room...she just keeps d facade of smiley face coz of her family....
Arvind was family not just a brother-in -law to Aryan.....as we have seen in flashback a father figure a friend an ally.....And their relationship doesn't seem to be just an extension of arpi....They have their own equation.
Their relationship is also not shown the way typical male bonding is shown in shows.....Yo bro high fiving doing masti...getting into shenanigans etc etc...
Arvind ties rakhi to aryan....I really liked this scene....how soft their relation is...its very rare to show two male family members in such a way usually its all male ego,MU then bharat milap wid tight mardana hug
And then whole survivor's guilt he was supposed to go n seeing ur loved one burning alive...I mean if one is not affected by this then that person is not human man!
The rain confession how sister became zinda lash , tears of ma, screams of BIL he went through all of this......The pain of 3 most imp people in his life.....There is nothing OTT abt his reaction abt arvind...
I should not compare traumas but
loosing a family member in such a gruesome way in front of ur eyes >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
And I am all for healing n all but it should be his choice not imlie mahanta ki murti's tantrum....In fact becoz she did not see his pain n was so dismissive of it was d reason I didn't have a full 100% sympathy for her during d so called forced marriage track among many other reasons...
For making peace he first needs to get closure and that can be done only wid bringing AKT to justice...
