For those who say it is just a show - shows are not meant to portray domestic abuse, racism, abuse violence etc and be able to pass it off as 'just a show'. The media has a responsibility it is meant to uphold. And it is one thing to show domestic violence or racism as part of a show where it is clearly defined as racism / violence and that it is wrong but here this type of abuse is being passed off as somehow a part of romance and love and passion. THAT is where it goes wrong. You cannot commit abuse and then say 'oh we need it so their love later is so much more passionate'. That is disgusting to euate love and passion with abuse needed to up the passion factor. But it is obvious from a lot of the responses on the forum that people seem to think it is ok to have abuse if it means passionate love later on.
So many people who watch this show will be influenced by it especially those women who are abused thinking that passion afterwards somehow makes abuse ok. How many times would you see women who are abused going back to their abusers because 'oh he really loves me and is very sorry' and tomorrow they end up dead. I'm not saying Arnav's character is totally to that level yet but this line of behaviour they are starting to show in Arnav needs to be nipped in the bud from now on.
We should all know that TV in particular plays a huge role in defining social roles etc and influences people so no it is not 'just a show' and all this crap should be accepted as part of the show.
An emotional distance, some taunting etc from Arnav's point of view would be fine for me as he thinks she is trying to break up his sister's marriage etc but not this type of behaviour. And I am honestly baffled that people think him throwing a blanket at her outside is showing his love and concern that he is trying to hide.
It's not totally the fault of Arnav's characterisation either - Khushi's characterisation is pretty bad too. She doesn't fight to get back in - she goes and sleeps on the pool? She sits and takes everything really - just because she spoke up a few times to him to ask why he made her marry him is not her being a strong character. Everyone is walking over her and she can't even tell her own sister in private why she got married? I'm tired of the Indian martyr bahus and wives. They set a bad example that if someone treats you badly you should just keep uiet and show a happy facade to the world. So many women who are abused do just that. I'm not one who believes in throwing your married life open to the world over every little fight but this is just overboard. Abusers act just like Arnav did today - they present a happy married life to the world especially to their family and abuse in private.
Anyways I hope they get rid of this part of his behaviour - I don't expect him to be nice to Khushi but there needs to be a limit and Khushi really needs to grow a bit of backbone to not turn this into the suffering wife / dominant husband typical serial characters.
