I agree with you rima. It is really unfortunate that khushi has to get injured to show her sacrifice.
One positive thing which I really liked during last one month show -is Arnav's realisation and acceptance of his emotions for Khushi in spite of mu not getting cleared fully, I mean the person like ASR believes more in what he himself sees and hears. Of course, during his captivity he had time to ponder over Khushi's dialogues and his own emotions. After all this he accepted his love for Khushi , it was almost as per his Heer Ranjha dialogue - "iss pyar mein kuch sahi nahi, kuch galat nahi, sirf yeh sach hain ki maine hamesha se ..." by declaring his love he completed the dialogue.
This was really victory of heart over mind or victory of true love. I found this act in the serial quite wonderful and liked it.
I feel now if he overhears shyam-khushi conversation, it will erase "dimag mein chhap gaye woh terrace scene" and should be more than enough to feel guilt. Given the type of person he is, he should think that his crime his just unpardonable and unforgivable and this should pave the way for his redemption.
The sad part is in many stories where there are black, white and gray characters, the writers just make white characters to sacrifice more , to bring in light to gray character. Khushi is of course noble one, both inside and outside - a pure white one and ASR who is really good from inside, his exterior has been maligned with shades of gray ... may be because of his past and prejudices.
Above all, it also looks like a ploy to gain more TRPs...
