Thanks for a different Point of View.. I appreciate the chance to argue a viewpoint and analyze all the grey shades that should ideally add depth to a character (and not just romanticize them)
1. Arnav is definitely being a ruthless player leading on La.. but that's the standard characterization of any M&B hero.. they usually justify their actions saying that the ladies know the score.. the said ladies meanwhile plot to settle permanently in the hero's life for superficial reasons like looks & money.. enter the heroine who'll stand upto the hero and tell him what a callous, arrogant so & so he is..and end up falling in love with him anyway:-)
I'm pretty sure Arnav wld. prefer to be in a relationship (loosely termed as such) with La than fall in love with Khushi..or so he thinks.
2. I disagree with this point completely.. he is fighting his feelings and trying to control his wayward thoughts.. forcibly rejecting any lingering memories..pushing them away..pushing her away.. or so I choose to think.
3. I blame the CVs for trying to highlight how great a jiju Shyam is and how even Arnav listens to him by creating these silly episodes with Nani.. initially when he says, I'm my own man..and make my own decisions.. I appreciated the fact that he is not the typical serial hero who is the darling of the family and respects the wishes of his elders like they were carved in stone..but the current track with Shyam's interference does show Arnav in a poor light..CVs pls. wake up to this bit of immature showcasing. I prefer the heroine to be cute & flighty but who is aware of her responsibilities.. but the hero has to be mature, intense, protective.. if possible brooding, sarcastic..ok the list is endless☺️ His flaws should add to his attraction not be off-putting!
p.s. LOVE Arnav flaws and all
