Heyy anu...
I was one who was depressed for over two hrs when I heard abt the promo :) my grievance was the premature death of the flirting and cheekiness when I had endured two months of fillers and brainless comedy :P
But then I got hooked to this show for the rakshas and his belle...so bring on the intensity that I always crave for...
Arnav thought with his dil...in the grand screwup of things will believe his ideaologies were always right and feelings etc r just not worth time.
M taken back to the new year epi of where she asks him why he's bitter and he says how the world doesn't help and how emotions etc r just hogwash...
His past made him reason like that...his feelings for her made him accept that maybe that aint true completely and u can see him yearn to show her tht...show her he's changed and tht there r certain things tht make him go farak padta hai...in this case her...as he reaches on the brink of confession, he receives another blow where he's gonna curse himself for opening up. His uber rationalized self is gonna tell him tht he was always right. But the beauty and tragedy of this time is like u rightly said is he can't completely be tht beast again. A shard of arnav will always jab at the asr in him...the arnav started comin out of dormance since tht rain hug in the parking lot...
I realize I paraphrased most of wht u said :P so fail for me
Another thing m reallly excited to watch is the dynamics of shyam arnav like u and renu hv mentioned.
Arnav/asr isn't an idiot. Even if he doesn't go with kkg completely, he sure as hell won't trust shyam. He's gonna probably shutup for poojili...but shyam will never be on his good side again. He's under radar and hopefully our past will come up...so shyam post this shd be even more scared...he managed to shut kkg up and scare her with payash angle...but no one messes with arnav and goes scot free.
Interestingly maybe this will make shyam shed his disguise infront of asr and openly fight his battle (*hopes much*)
Whtever it be, its gonna be kickass..yes will make us cry wail and dive into anguish...but the best love stories always benefit from angst.
Is this longer than ur post ?? damn...sorrry !!!
