ASR only had one choice? Really? - Page 3

I agree with what you say to some extent..but i just have one problem Shyam doesnt believe in marriage with Anjali, but doesnt want to leave her either.. If he was ready to divorce Anjali to live with Khushi and hadn't tried to kill Khushi's Dad and Anjali, got Anjali pregnant after his engagement broke while still claiming to be in love with Khushi, then we could have considered comparing him with ASR. anyways thats not the point here.

Yes, ASR had so many options to counter Shyam, and of all those he choose marry Khushi which seems so hard to believe.

One main thing is that if he believes Shyam and Khushi are having an affair, isn't ASR concerned that wouldnt they be sharing info with each other? So according to him

1. She should have known by now that ASR knows about Shyam and her.

2. Shyam would be knowing about the 6 months contract as soon as they talk to each other plus anything they discuss/ do in their bedroom.

3. So even if he says that we will pretend to be husband-wife in front of the world, but only we know we're not, that means according to him - Shyam knows it as well... so whats the point of marriage.

Does he intend to blackmail Shyam that u take care of my sister, i take care of ur gf else u'll see what happens to her???

but doesnt Shyam already know that Khushi doesnt love him, so why would he even bother to take care of Anjali now...

Regarding his wanting to stay married to Anjali for money. ASR doesn't know that. All he knows is Shyam doesn't value his marriage to his Di and his true happiness is in loving Kushi. That is what Shyam told him and ASR beleived him without any doubt. Correct? That is waht I was referring to.

I am attempting to commit forum suicide with this post. But please read this with an open mind.

I am not writing this to sensationalize anything. I have utmost respect and admirations for BS and SI. They are definitely two of the top 5 actors in Telly Land ' for me. They keep exchanging number 1 rank for me ' in my mind.

My negativity is also not against any post, poster, CVs etc.

Only point I am trying to make is, can't every coin have two sides.

Shyam falsely got engaged to Kushi. There was quite some time before Kushi knew his truth. He never tried to steal a kiss from her, all though he was her fianc (remember except viewers no one knew the truth about him). He never spoke to her harshly. Never called her status, her intelligence or anything to question. Even when confronted by ASR, he says, he doesn't love his wife and is in love with someone else and probably wants divorce from his wife.

I know bear with me, I am sounding like I am defending Shyam. But please read on.

Shyam fell for someone. He also does not believe in marriage and wants to leave his current relationship for Kushi. The reason Shyam is wrong is because he full well knows Kushi absolutely dislikes him and absolutely hates him. That is why what he is doing is wrong.

But let us think from different point of view ' maybe as ASR. You are ASR and for all practical purposes fell in love with Kushi ' when you are supposedly in a relation (call it what ever ' he didn't believe in marriage, so the story suggested, live-in was equivalent to marriage for him) with Lavanya. You knew how much in love Lavanya was with You. You knew how her hopes and dreams were shattered when she realized you were not in love with her, all because, you were falling for another woman with whom you were not in a relation. You did not even know if Kushi would be interested in you. It could be Kushi was in love with someone else. But the correct thing to do was, you were not in love with Lavanya and it was not right for her or to keep her in a relationship with you, irrespective of you getting Kushi or not. The right thing to do. So you broke of the relation, Lavanya understood and exited. Problem solved. Lavanya was shattered. But she moved on.

Now you being ASR think, Shyam is married, but does not believe in his marriage, wants to leave your beloved sister and be with a girl who he claims is his true happiness. You being ASR also think, this girl is in love with Shyam. So for you Shyam and Kushi are in love. Shyam also doesn't believe in his marriage. Just like the logical way you solved problem of You ' Lavanya ' Kushi triangle, what would have been the logical solution of the problem of Shyam ' Anjali ' Kushi.

I know, everyone will say, he did the only thing he can do. Why was torturing Kushi the only thing to do. If he could balck mail couldn't he balckmail Shyam.

He could go and explain Profit and Loss to Shyam. He could tell Shyam, until Di delivers the baby you be nice to her, stay away from Kushi for 6 months. Once the baby is here, Di is strong, I personally will see to it that, Di gives you a divroce and you can happily be with your lover. But if you meet Kushi between now and next 6 months, I will have you killed in an accident and Di will be better off being a widow than a divorcee and I will make sure your precious Kushi also is hurt. No?

He said, he had to do something for his sister. He blackmailed Kushi saying do this for your sister. He is balckmailing someone for his sister. If that person is ready to do what you are blackmailing her for, how is your love for your sister being understood more than Kushi's love for her sister? Marriage was finished. Yet she walked with you outside and got married to you. You stood like a mute when everyone was yelling at you and demanding an answer. That was the only way Kushi could have gotten slapped. If he said, it is none of your businees, Kushi and I have our reasons to get married, we will tell you in due time, no one including Guptas would have dared press him further. No?

What if Kushi said, he blackmailed me into marrying him for his sister's sake, or else he said he will stop Paayals wedding, that is why I married him. What would have happened then. What if she said, this is a fake marriage, now I will see how you will stop Paayal's shaadi, as it already happened. What would have happened then. What if she said, now you will create problem in Paayal's marriage and have Akash divorce her? Is that what you will do, now that I called your bluff and break this contract marrige? What would have happened then?

She did not. She kept quite. Suffering. How come he who can do so much for his sister, not realise there could be more to the story than what he saw and heard. How.

It pains me, because, ASR is arrogant. I like him like that. He talks status and intelligence etc. I like him like that. ASR is ruthless and I for sure like him like that.

But what I cannot like about ASR is acting like a typicla villain who can only prey on utterly impresionable 18 year old females.

Someone even said, Kushi will realize this was a good thing. Please. An 18 year old, who has taken the Guptas burdens on her is being emotionally scarred like this, and people think it is good for her, just because ASR is played by Barun and we all love Barun and we all know ASR deep down loves Kushi, so Kushi will be alright. Just like everyone can understand ASRs pain as he doesn't know the truth of Shyam completely, but no one is ready to accept Kushi's pain and how cruel of a punishment this is for a 18 year old and actually say ASR loves Kushi so it is ok what is happening.

Yes. It is a story. Yes, CVs have every right to tell it like they want. Yes Barun is better than 90% of actors in the country. But let is not forgive and glorify ASR because we understand his pain, but turn a blind eye to Kushis pain.

How can women be so indifferent to a women's pain is beyond me.

Sorry if I ruffled any feathers. If people think, I should keep my opinions to myself or get lost from the forum. So be it. But I had to say this and I did.

Splendid post!

you are right. ASR was very wrong in forcing Khushi to marry. he had some plan in mind and went ahead and executed it as if what Khushi thinks does not matter. Poor Khushi... she had mixed feelings for Arnav. Only recently she started falling for him, but they still have to build that comfort zone and understanding. She must scared thinking about why Arnav asked her to marry him? He didn't even explain her the whole Anjali protecting thing he had in mind. A whole gamut of thoughts must be killing her like
...why marry? Is it lust? or something else?
...why 6 months? that sounds so cheap?
...what will I tell my family/
...what will I tell Arnav's family?will they hate me?

With this action, I think Arnav has poured water on whatever recent romantic feelings she had for him. Truly speaking, I think Khushi will be scared to be alone with Arnav. And that snake in the same house! I think Khushi will need 2 to 3 days to get a grip on things or to be even normal around Arnav.

But, I understand Arnav's stance too. I think he didn't tell Khushi his plan to prevent it from failing in case she spills the beans to Shyam.

I know many girls are overly in love with ASR/Arnav in the show and cant find any fault with him...ca dear

I missed out on this one..noticed your response on enigma's thread and then keenly looked for yours.

Beautifully written!

Today's episode shook me up...it was all about Khushi being interrogated, witch-hunted, humiliated in front of others while the person responsible for the whole situation stands besides her stoically, refusing to defend her (at least for the time being) or open his mouth to stop her from being subjected to an emotionally shattering barrage of questions.

Today all I saw was Khushi going through this torturous experience, without getting support from anyone...

I was appalled by how she was slapped like that...in front of her in-laws and berated as if she was a stupid silly child who needs to be taught a lesson!

Loved your post!

Thanks you so much for encouraging me. Like I was mentioning in enigmas post, for few hours, I really felt I was in the minority in the forum and I was beating up myself for not being able to say nice things about ASR in today's episodes. Thanks once again.

Thanks for you reply. Like Sukri mentioned in one of the replies, what makes ASR think Kushi and Shyam will not confide in each other every minute detail that is happening? What makes ASR think they will not come up with their own revenge plots. I mean he is alone in this so called fight for his sister, but doesn't he relaize they both can plot together as well?
