Wow - so there seems to be a lot of discontent. I can see what a lot of you are reacting to though - today's episode definitely had some cringe-worthy moments. I agree that the importance of his mother's bangles was totally overlooked in the 'fake' scene. The makers totally missed an opportunity there to create a dynamic moment. And, the whole concept of a 'muh dikhai' is so archaic, but really what can we do about that.

When I read some posts though - and this is not to offend anyone - I feel like people are not getting the point of the current storyline. Was I pissed like hell when Arnav married Khushi forcefully? YES. Was I bitter that he never gave her a chance to explain? HELL YES! Those things linger in my mind for sure.

BUT - that is the premise we are now working with. So, instead of abandoning ship and saying to hell with the show, I'm trying to understand the story from both Arnav and Khushi's perspectives.

ARNAV - is an egotistical, ruthless guy. He has ALWAYS been that way. Did he fall for Khushi? Yes, to an extent. I don't believe it was all physical either. He really did have feelings for her beyond the physical. But, those feelings have been hijacked by rage, jealousy, and bitterness. That is where his current actions are stemming from. So, I don't really understand the comments about - 'why is he doing X, Y, Z to Khushi... he wouldn't if he really loved her.' Because, he is NOT reacting from a place of LOVE right now. He's reacting from a place of ANGER.

Also, this whole debate about - why does he defend her in front of others but treat her like crap privately? Again - this is part of the premise - part of his sham marriage. Outside their room he will act like a doting husband, but inside she means nothing to him. That is the premise. That is what is being shown. He's already told her that this is the plan. So, Khushi should not be surprised if he defends her in public. He's not doing it for HER. He's doing it to keep up the PREMISE. His feelings for her right now are HATE, RESENTMENT, and ANGER. Does love linger somewhere in his heart and mind? Probably. But this is ARNAV. ASR. He is running away from those feelings because that is what he does best. This is nothing new. This is just an extension of the same character people have watched since June.

Let me clarify - I'm NOT defending his actions. But, in my mind, Khushi is a fighter. And, based on yesterday's episode - where she threw hate back in his face - I know she is not going down without a good fight. And, my hope is that the makers of the show never forget that.

Let's not forget that the entire show revolves around the phrase "nafrat paas aane na de, mohabbat door jaane na de". If hate was not a part of the equation, then the show almost loses its' identity. This is a story of love-hate. This pendulum will continue to sway back and forth. Do I want Khushi to be treated like crap? NO... But, do I want Arnav to suddenly turn into a character that is nice and unrecognizable? No, I don't. Not yet anyways... Eventually, he will see the error of his actions. That will be (HOPEFULLY) our reward for watching his current behavior. The pendulum will eventually shift in the other direction. And, maybe then, Khushi will be the one who won't want to forgive him? Maybe after he finds out the truth, he will BEG for forgiveness, and maybe she'll make HIM sleep outside??? ;) Wouldn't that be some sweet justice?

Sorry for the long post! Hope it makes sense!!
