oh man! First of all, hats off to you to make such a beautiful post and with so much detail yaar.
having to think of it, arnav is being portrayed like that. even after openly knowing the fact that Di is not trusting his decision in shyam's case, did he ever get angry at his Di? why is her happiness alone is so important? why is he not shown being angry with di? not scolding di? not insulting di? but, all of these are targeted at one person and it is khushi. we know that. however, i feel he is emotionally attached to khushi as well. he has never even thought of opening up about his past in front of even his di, but he did share those things with khushi. he needs her for emotional support as well. he feels she is very strong and has dealt with parents death in early age, just like him. he feels he can't share these with di bcos he feels he needs to be her support and can't ask her for support. why is she being given so much importance? why is she being thought as weak, when she can sneakily go n meet shyam? Anyways, Arnav's temper fears me as well.but, somehow, i feel this time, he would stand up for khushi and won't let his anger overpower him. that will be the biggest change in his character after accepting khushi's love.
I just made this post thinking it is a positive hint..
Dadi said arnav had a misunderstanding last time just like this time.. she couldn't do anything to change his opinion.. however, he needs to correct his mistakes and should not repeat the same mistake again.. I think dadi spoke something of this.. what she meant was wrt arnav's past..
but, the hidden meaning I felt is the mistake he did by not trusting khushi bcos of misunderstanding and then marrying her. so, this time he will not repeat the same mistake by marrying her forcefully for punishing. instead, he will correct the mistake that he did last time by trusting her and marrying her properly.
