@sush : fab post...what he said wasnt pretty...what she felt was worse...he broke her heart...stomped on it and stopped short of a tap dance...he did all that...
nothing justifies this action...but im going to try to delve a little deeper into his actions (*do not throw stones...for u see im an ardent arnav fan as much as i love khushi)
i think the answer lies in what probably only khushi has recognized so far...in anger the man fails to see reason...he fails to think his actions through and he crosses that line oh so fast that it ends up ripping her to pieces...and as always somewhere down the future she'll be the one to make it dawn on him just how bad his folly was...
hes angry with himself for agreeing to the wedding...hes angrier with her cos
1. she came so close to breaking him (we all know hes already there...but the action would have confirmed it)
2. he saw her feel pain, he saw her cry...but it vanished...she seemed happy...she told him she was happy with the idea of him and arnav...
just when he was hanging on to the remnants of things he thought were special between them...she with her happiness probably negated it all...
coming back to anger...it fueled it...heck it was almost as if he was doused with petrol and burning and he wanted her to burn as well
is it justified...no ? it will never be...but this is his one inherent flaw...he cant control the rage...the worst of him and the best of him manifests only in front of khushi...mostly the worst...
im going to go on the lines of what cinders and renu said and say he all but confessed...
and as he left...he used the worst weapon of all...she saw him in that avtar first...she sees him in the avtar last...i say last because...the entire car conversation yest and her additional chirpiness was just such a big reminder to him that he with a single decision had managed to get her out of his life... !!
his decision was hasty and hes feeling the pain, khushi today broke and is paying for it with her acquiescence to wed shyam...will she become an indifferent soul ? maybe...is asr to blame yes...will arnav come to the rescue ? maybe not...
but this was the same man, who under a gazebo apologized to have brought her back the painful memories of her parents
the same man who apologized to pushing her into the dark depths of a room when she crossed him...
the same man who kept his hand on her head assuring her that he was on her side while she fought with her personal demons...
the man who amplified the bad always and underplayed the good...this man fights his personal demons in the same sphere as he battles his attractions for khushi...hes conflicted and clear at the same time...he hurts her and he hurts from within all that the same time...now that acc to me is being the true anti hero...
but that i think is his learning curve...we've seen him come so far, and each time despair when he kicks off the improvement...but its all part of the Mask known as ASR...the one thats slowly cracking, but yet still a huge part of him...
the day this transformation is complete to the extent that he never goes back or feels the need for ASR will be khushi's win.
it maybe too late...it may be a modern day tragedy, but no one will ever disagree that on that day it was Khushi's win...
Well said, Priya!
Of course he has his past, he has his demons and he has his ego...I love the complexity related to all of that and all the shades of grey...
As some one pointed out...I liked the fact that he was civil to her parents. Everything played out true to their characters...I agree with everything else...but I really detaste the part of his character which brings "rich" and "poor" into something as (pure?) as how they feel about each other...That indicates to me...he still thinks anything Khushi feels or does has to do with him being rich...He does not get her at all...
He made a decision...She had no choice...He answered her question by his action...She accepted it...but he had to go back and accusse her again...show her down...demean her feelings...demean what they shared together...and on top of that he pointed out the reason to be him bring rich and her thinking that her "life was made"...
That is hitting below the belt... man...!
