a darling...
First off all... Happy Women's Day!
You know I love you, right? I have always agreed to all your posts till now but unfortunately, I have to respectfully disagree with you on this post... not all of it, just some parts!
I agree with the proverb! I see your point there.
To me, today's episode was about a challenge between an Expert (ASR) and a Novice (Khushi). He just did what he is best at... making deals that are more beneficial to him than the other party... a true business man. As he mentioned in the episode, there is no room for emotions there, they make people weak. However, I don't agree that he doesn't have a conscience! In reality, he is not hurting Payal or Akash or their marriage... he is just bluffing! that what he was today a big bad bluff master!
Remember Richard Gere in Pretty Woman? He bluffs his way thru a deal... he says thats my Job and the opponent says, you are very good at it!
Lets back up for a second, Khushi challenged him that she will leave RM if he doesn't come out with the truth. He thought she was bluffing but she actually proved him wrong. He didn't lose his cool then; he actually was surprised with her move. He said, well played KKG!
He did go after her to GH, asked her to come back, when she denied, he had to take it up a notch.
Khushi may seem to be on the losing side but she did put up a strong fight and that can't be ignored. If you look closely, ASR also felt that she is fighting strong... at RM, when he asked Payal, if Khushi was back and when he heard she isn't, he was ready for his next step.
Now, about the question you had... would anyone be able to trust the life partner after they see this ugly side? Well, Khushi is always aware of Arnav's competitive spirit... they are very similar in that nature and that is why we have so many challenge tracks. Remember how Khushi tried to prove her point during cocktail party? Sangeet? Nothing sacred about that path, right?
Lets remind ourselves the wedding lunch at GH episode where Arnav helped Khushi with the serving. He didn't hesistate one bit there and she didn't even ask for his help! Basically Arnav is a result/target oriented person, so the process may or maynot matter to him. All he wanted was to maintain a happily married charade in the RM, so that there won't be any disturbance to Anjali mentally during her pregnancy. I didn't understand why Khushi, who wants to see evryone happy, didn't pay more attention to her. I am not supporting the way Arnav blackmailed Khushi and married her or the way he is treating her after marriage but today's episode isn't about that!
One of the comments above said
"Today a friend of mine had posted this line in FB,
He who takes care of his wife like a princess is sure raised by a queen.
Wonder what that says about late Mrs Raizada Senior."
@ bold, ouch, thats gotta hurt! Lets keep the fictional dead character out of this drama😃...
If this terrace scene misunderstanding would not have happened and Arnav was the guy who bought bangles to make Khushi smile or the paramedic who nursed all her teeny tiny wounds or who helps her family out without even her askign for help... would that mean he was raised right by his momma?
Narcissist? Maybe but who isn't? Insensitive? Yes, most of the time but not to the people who matter to him most! Unfortunately, Khushi is not in his nice list right now. Is he creating an illusion that he has so much to offer? I don't think so... I think there are many layers to him and it takes patience to handle him and Khushi being so impatient (just like me and can ya blame her?) doesn't want to take time to peel the layers. Don't worry they will get there!
I think they are perfect for each other! How can you be with someone who doesn't stimulate you intellectually? They exactly know how to push each other's buttons...pun intended. The beauty of it is that when Khushi comes back to RM, she is not gonna give up her fight! The tu tu mein mein will continue and thats why they deserve each other.
Am I mad at CVs for silly and stupid plots? Hell yeah! Are they killing the characters one day at a time... yes, one day its Khushi... one day its Arnav! Its all about TRPs baby! I think Arnav will feel like crap for mistreating Khushi once he finds out the truth and he will ask for forgiveness and Im assuming we will see the tears, screams and the whole nine yards from him again and Khushi will forgive because... remember the damn letter! Gussa bardash karlena aur pyar sooth sameth lautana...
Neither I'm an anti-feminist nor am I romanticizing the abuser... I'm just trying to see the two sides of the coin!
La darling... I meant no offense to you or anyone here. You know I love ya. 🤗
