A bit obvious perhaps as to what to expect, these are the times Khushi's appearance left Arnav spellbound.
The scenes where he couldn't keep his eyes off her.
We all know she ALWAYS has that affect on him, which is why he reacted so strongly in the beginning, but the following are the cream of the crop.
Note: This list is meant for scenes showing ONLY Arnav's reaction after seeing Khushi, whereas she remains (for the most part) unaffected by him, or her reaction is no where close to his.
Oh, this time there is an order from 5 to 1.
#5. Khushi in western dress.

Even though they've been married for a while at this point, Arnav is still left speechless when he sees his wife make her way in a beautiful navy blue evening gown. Everyone and everything fades away into the background- he has eyes only for his wife. Not much has changed since he was blown away by her in the red sari at his photoshoot. And when she silently asks him, he indirectly answers to the reporter for her- 'Beautiful...amazing.'
(I'll ignore the fact that Barun looks like he hasn't slept in 20 years. This is one of the last endearing scenes from the final days of IPKKND).
#4. Khushi's dance during Payash's sangeet.

If y'all notice, Arnav could never take his eyes off Khushi whenever she dances throughout the show. During her performance at Payash's sangeet, he stared unabashedly at her, without blinking, and his jaw slightly open at certain points. Hell, he didn't even notice a person walking up to him, let alone that person's name. Plus, his amusement knew no bounds when she mocked him with 'Didi tere jethji'.
If the audience were dazzled by her, imagine the impact on the man who loves her. Poor Arnav never stood a chance.
#3. The positive side effects of Bhang.

How adorable is this scene?! Granted he is not spellbound per say, but this scene demonstrates what Arnav thinks about Khushi ALL THE TIME- she's beauuutiful... her hair, her eyes, her smile *blush*. Ay hay, Arnav!!! His affection for his lovely wife is pouring out of his eyes. And talk about a possessive husband :)
#2. Khushi on Diwali surrounded by diyas.

No matter how much I write about this night, it won't be enough to capture the amount of emotions and raw sexual energy in the air that night.
We all know ASR's favorite color is red. Now recap everything that happened the previous three days: (1) he gifted her silver coins, (2) he untangled her from fairy lights, (3) he fell with her on the rangoli, (4) he had an intense eyelock with her while his plants overflowed, and (4) he helped remove dust particles from her eyes.
Clearly they both knew that there was something crackling between them.
Back to that day- here was the woman who he couldn't stop thinking about, wearing a red sari (*alarm*) surrounded by beautiful diyas. Arnav was the definition of spellbound that day. His feet kept dragging him to her- you could tell that he was not consciously aware of his actions. All he saw was Khushi Khushi Khushi. WATCH THE VIDEO AT 1:48. LOOK AT THOSE EYES! They are screaming his attraction to her.
And look at Khushi. Seeing him was bad enough to start her dhak dhaks, but that intensity must be scorching her. No wonder she looked nervous and had problems breathing.
#1. Khushi in red sari at AR Photoshoot

Did you predict it?
I debated whether this or the diya scene should be #1, but this ultimately won because of its significance.
The scene that started it all. The first Rabba Ve ever.
She turned shyly.
And he fell hard- hook, line, and sinker.
There was no turning back after this. The first sparks of their romance that gave us so many wonderful, wonderful moments. The way he appraises her top to bottom; he was totally mesmerized by her beauty and demeanor.
NOTABLE MENTIONS
1. First Meeting (Their response were mutual so not included).
2. Arnav finds her in his cupboard.
3. Arnav sees Khushi in the lehenga during their nanital trip.
4. Arnav burns his tongue while watching Khushi demonstrate a dance move to NK.
5. Arnav watches Khushi dry her wet hair in the middle of their fight.
6. Arnav watches Khushi demonstrate how she beat up the kidnappers and saved Aarav.
There are many many other scenes where they are engaged in intense eyelocks (possibly another top five list).
