What makes ASR what he is?
1 . The Tragedy of his past - made him shrewd, astute, calculating and sharp
2. That is his nature, his character however has been shaped by the women in his life
3. From Nani he learnt to be fair and just, he learnt to live and let live, and to respect people for who they are
4. From mami he learnt to be grateful, she has given love and support and he always treats her with deference and affection.
5. From Anjali he has received unconditional love and care, she has kept him grounded and made him feel loved and cherished.
6. I think these women made him a strong, honest good man. But for them he too may have crossed over to the dark side, like Shyam.
7. And then came Khushi , she has taught him to show love, to smile, to laugh and enjoy all the silliness and triviality of living.
8. Of course looking at Dadi and how much Arnav is a reflection of her, she has probably given him the tenacity to go after what he wants, and belief in himself.
Dadi also must have taught him to be judgemental and given him his pigheadedness and ego.
9. Garima and Buaji taught him to respect relationships without any pressure and expectations!
10. His mother seems to have taught him to be fair and given him his love for gardening
These women in his life have made him a complete man.
