He who laughs last, Laughs longer - Page 5

Hiya DcGirl, please be assured, no offence is taken 🤗 Good to see you on the forum 😊 I love you too 🤗 Ooh La La, this is a lengthy response 😊

Agree to some of your facts but I beg to differ to some..

A challenge should be fair and square... Business and personal life are two different realms and should not be mixed. Any good businessman will also know that.

Agreed. his intentions may not be to hurt PayAsh but he has been threatening Khushi with their divorce time and time again... Now to Khushi this is like a direct threat to her family whom she cares for very much... just as how ASR cares for his sister... So tomorrow if Khushi threatens to tell Anji all about her marriage do you think ASR will take it lightly or would we agree with her stance? Isn't Khushi keeping up with ASR's games at RM? what is good for the goose is also good for the gander... Khushi is being considerate to Anjali's condition... had she not been, she would have blurted out the truth about the pag phera incident and the truth about her marriage to her family ...

At least in Pretty Woman, Richard Gere was honest... he openly said that he buys big companies breaks them into smaller chunks and sells them for profit... he did not go about intimidating and buying companies through deceit and lies... he acquired companies that were faltering or failing.. at least he was honest about the dirty work he did... that is what I remember... Here ASR portrays a different self to his family and behind closed doors he is something else... he wants Khushi to hide how she was being treated, making displays of false affections which is not sitting well with me ...

Regarding the trust factor, if we catch someone doing something, we will definitely confront them... that is normal human nature... ASR is never scared of confronting anyone... so why not confront Khushi and come clean with it.. I would like to credit ASR with better acumen... being a top notch businessman he should know that looks are deceptive... what was ASR thinking when he took Shyam's word as gospel truth? Tomorrow if not Shyam there will be someone else talking about Khushi's past... is ASR going to react in the same manner? At least Khushi has been consistent with her confrontational behaviour...in the sense, she confronts any and everyone even if she is proven wrong ..

ASR followed Khushi to the Gupta household with ulterior motive... firstly, he wanted her back at any cost... this was to pamper his ego he could not believe that this chit of a girl had the temerity to walk out on him, dare to defy his order. Secondly, he did no know how to face his family... so to save face and keep up with the pretence he needed her ... does he ever think of Khushi and how his decision has affected her? she has been deprived of her family and loved one's...All ASR could think of his sister... True we should care for our families but we should not be blindly selfish..

ASR is a man who always thinks of himself and his family and he is not shy to admit it... true we too are like that to some extent... but do we wilfully put others in misery to achieve our goals? so to me this is a characteristic of a narcissist...

I fail to see any intelligence in the manner in which ASR has acted... Any other businessman of his stature would have thought about the consequence of his actions... he would have thought about the repercussions... how it would hurt his business and his family... had Khushi wanted, she could have taken him to task by selling her story to the media, the way he did... but this is where the two personalities differ... Agree ASR was sold to us as a grey character... but he is in fact fast turning into a dark knight... which is very disappointing... CVs are ruining the characters with each passing day...

sorry my response too has got lengthy... .. 😊

Luv 🤗

Its is very obvious the goodness(khushi) will prevail but for the sake of tomorrow's remorse, how do you accept today's travesty. ASR is willing to do whatever it takes as long as the benefits outweigh the risks and too by what means? deceit,treachery.

I would have rather him be more straightforward with khushi than play games that ridiculed the meaning of relations. Is marriage a joke? that he can get them married or divorced whenever he wants? I know his intention was not to hurt akash&payal but to get Khushi to understand, in the end he will be the winner (for now), but using PayAsh marriage as his triumph card yet again was reaching another low. He continues to spiral towards his own downfall lost in ignorance, its a pity really. Repentance will come sooner or later but at the cost of what?

But what makes him dangerous is that although he is emotionally bankrupt at the core, he is a master of creating the "illusion" of having so much to offer.

Happy Woman's Day La🤗

Has been my birthday so have had little to be on the forum but agree with every single word typed here and how succinctly you put the above part which applies to ASR exactly!

I keep going back to flaws in the writing but it truly is, this episode again questioned the mind of the audience and not only destroyed ASR's character but demeaned Khushi's character intelligence. The tables have turned undoubtedly but today logic ceased to exist. My frustration at how Khushi wouldn't directly ask about the divorce and ASR's repetitive smirks was never ending, I was hoping for a substantial episode today but I guess not. Yesterdays water throwing incident may have seemed child play but at least both were conveyed as equals with Khushi having a slight edge but today ASR's "games or illusionary" was childish - in the scheme of things it still doesn't make sense how he can hold an independent marriage of two people over Khushi's head whilst not tell her the reason of their own marriage.

The CVs are buying time and stalling themselves from portraying the REAL scenes, last Friday we got a glimpse of what is to come when he revealed a little bit of his hurt sending Khushi's brain wheel churning - so with that I hold on hope and keep watching whilst pray they don't damage the characters any more for me!

🤗La... I know you can't mix business with personal life but you see this marriage is not conventional in any way and these two are not the normal couple you see everyday! Khushi left RM saying that she is breaking the marriage... so, he doesn't have to think her as his wife... he does though, did you see how many times he called her KKGSR? (oh, I am such a hopeless romantic?) He always owned up to his actions... he never told anyone he is nice... he claims he is ruthless and has no emotions and all the things you said about his nature are true... no secret there!

hats off to you guys for a lively discussion.

No matter what logic we as a collective viewers apply, what CVs show is up to them. I am not sure how, when and where they get their ideas and whether they raid this forum to gauge the general temperature of viewers.

Lady La La,

@LadyLaLa Thank you for this post. I was thinking 100% same and you wrote it beautifully..

Hey!!

I'm not entirely sure as to why you quoted his play as "lies and deceit". He did not. He worked on his strengths, ie. knowing his partner's weakness. He played fairly and in wit, he showed all his cards to her, it was upto her to strategize with what she saw and proceed. Why didn't she snatch the papers off Akash and tear them? Or spill water on them? Why? Why did she believe everything Arnav said? Its because she wasn't confident about her skills.
