ASR is the talking point because his character is redeemable thought a present is at its lowest point.. he can be brought back from the path of destruction etc... he is bad.. but he can be corrected or he has the ability to correct himself... and when he does that little by little (even a miniscule bit) we will applaud him and in all likelihood Khushi will forgive him...his remorse will be too much to bear... for her or for us.
Leading ladies in these stories are mostly always right.. like Khushi is... she is put on a pedestal and it is because of that she will suffer...I hate it but i also know that this is a story and the idea is for us to see ASR reform, not Khushi. And ASR can reform only through Khushi's pain or sacrifice or whatever
What Asr has done is horrible: to save his sister's marriage to a creep he has ruined a young girl's life... it is strange that he should do this because he is so sensitive to his sister, so by logic he should be sensitive to other women to and their pain... but somehow it is never ever shown that way. How can a man who loves women in his own family so much and respects them so much can be so unkind to other women from the outside? he was unkind to Payal and to Khushi with that "break the marriage threat"... and that is the flaw I find hard to ignore...
I know eventually all will be right between them etc etc... but can a woman ever ever really forgive a man who breaks her trust how ever good his reason may be... now that where logic goes out of the window and willing suspension of disbelief comes in... this is after all not real life.. it is make-believe story...
Take it with a pinch of salt. That is the only way to stay sane and not angry with the "characters" in whom we have invested so much
