I could look past all the times Arnav lashed out at Khushi in the past because at least he didn't know the truth and was under the misunderstanding that she's a home-wrecker.However, AFTER knowing she was completely innocent and put her life on line to save him, when he did everything to ruin hers...there is no way I could look past his cruel outburst this time. The worst part is that they didn't even make him take those words back. As usual, he gets away with everything while Khushi feels guilty for some inexplicable reason. They actually made her agree with him, first time I lost respect for her character. Its because this show likes to see women being submissive.Anyways, I think that outburst scene was one of the big reasons why many of us couldn't connect with the show anymore...and it was reflected by the fact that many viewers stopped watching as TRPs dropped every week, despite the romance. I couldn't enjoy any wooing in ASR style because that scene was at the back of my mind. I wasn't interested in seeing any romance until we saw redemption from him.I think that even now, he hasn't done enough to earn her full forgiveness for all the pain and abuse he put her through. However, the CVs will insist on rushing through the redemption track...in fact, we didn't even get one. It was simply a forced 5 minute apology from him, which Khuhsi accepted and BAM, its over. One whole year worth of misunderstanding and hurt and that was the closure we got.I guess now they can focus on their real interest...Anjali. This whole suspense surrounding Anjali and her cheating husband has been dragging on for weeks now that it has gotten beyond stale and boring. We can't even call this suspense anymore...its called dragging. Most of us couldn't care less about Anjali's drama yet she will continue to be shoved down our throats. I wish they had devoted this time to dragging the guilt/redemption track. That would work out much better.
I soo agree. Everybody was super furious that day and I remember being awake till 3:30 at night and just ranting away. Surprisingly there were people on the forum even then defending him and his rueful words.
We haven't got any redemption track. A simple apology scene which didn't even last for 10 minutes is NOT redemption. During the misunderstanding track I had high hopes from cvs. I was kind of overconfident about getting a full fledged redemption track but fell flat on my face. They seriously let us all down. Khushi still feeling guilty just shows that Arnav hasn't really done enough to make her forget things and move on. She still blames herself and that shows the impact his words have had on her and he hasn't even taken them back. The same morning he was telling her to move forward with him and the same night he expressed his regret on meeting her. It was awful.
