Great post Zainab but I disagree with some things (sorry let me specify that I only disagree about the bit about Khushi)
Firstly, I think that the hug is quite real and not a dream. Khushi is sad so she just ran to the person whom she thinks to be the strongest, the person who can support her at such a time unlike her family members who will be emotional wrecks. Plus Arnav also knows about her fears and understands what it's like to lose family. I actually hope Shyam sees, that man needs a reality check, seeing him pissed will give me immense joy. Also, if you guys notice right when Khushi runs into Arnav, he puts one arm around her and shuts his eyes, that is a hug enough for me and it's a leap for Arnav, just because he didn't put both arms around her does not mean he didn't hug her bag, one strong manly arm is enough for a hug but yeah lets see if he goes full out and wraps her in both arms.
There definitely is an elephant in the room whenever these two are together and even when it's Anjali and Arnav (since she doesn't notice that the change in him is due to Khushi not La -_-' )
Thing about Khushi is that she is just clueless, for her there is no elephant because she is slow on the uptake, Arnav gives mixed signals so there is no question about him liking her, her mind won't even go there. I also don't understand why people are getting annoyed of her, yes she needs to give the man time, space and peace to sort out his thoughts and feelings but the thing is she was only trying to ease the situation, trying to make him talk because she believes that it's her fault he was angry. I truly believe she can't see how he feels.
As for Arnav then yes there definitely is an elephant in the room. He started feeling for Khushi long ago and yet his brain is still unable to cooperate with his heart, every single time he sits there asking himself why he behaved the way he did. So I think he is the stupid one not Khushi because she is just naive and she doesn't notice anything while he on the other hand does notice yet does not want to understand at all. For him loving her is taboo he is deliberately ignoring his feelings for her because that's just the type of person he is. Khushi on the other hand only recently started feeling something so her seeing and purposely ignoring how Arnav feels is way out of the question because she doesn't know how she herself feels.
