Hey guys, so I finally remembered this OS again and found the time to check on the comments and reply. After I started replying to them I noticed that few have almost the same content and my reply would be repetitive. That's why I decided to pen down a general reply.
So first of all I wanna clarify that this was a shot for me I needed to write. I mostly write all fun and light stories but sometimes when I'm going through difficult times in life I have the urge to pen down my sadness. This was a result of that. No, I didn't go through a similar situation but I just gave my sadness kind of a shape. So this was not how La's been doing after her breakup with Arnav but if there would be a spin off or something or just a behind the scenes situation, this is one of the many possibilities I'd consider. It not only puts La into a main character but also it brings layers to her character.
Now coming to the one point you guys addressed a lot: La and Arnav weren't physical. Pardon me, but you overly innocent souls.😆
Ok seriously, even though this shot was more of hypothetical, I believe that La and Arnie very well shared a physical bond. C'mon folks, he was a 27 years old rich businessman who studied in the US, was modern and progressive and didn't believe in Love. Still too innocent? ASR and La's relationship was nothing but a source of physical intimacy for him given that he neither loved her nor intended to marry her, although I think the former is the most important to support this POV. Also if you paid a little bit of attention to La and Arnie's scenes, you would notice that there was not much of hesitancy in physical proximity from La's side. That wasn't because she was a s**t and offered herself to the next best guy she sees, rather because in a relationship there are boundaries. You (a girl in general) do not sneak into your boyfriend's room at night and try to kiss him if it hasn't happened before. You do not hug from behind in his cabin while wearing an off shoulder mini dress, you do not kiss him on cheeks and all that if you aren't physically comfortable with each other.
They were in a relationship for 5 months already at the show's beginning (La's entry - their 5th month anniversary) and would not have just at sudden decided they want to live in if they hadn't been doing it!
Be honest, they were two adults who clearly knew what they want. And they weren't all into the sanskaari and sex-is-taboo-before-marriage considering Arnav didn't even plan to ever marry.
And I still can't comprehend why La, when they broke up, was made to say at last that she knows he doesn't like all this but she wants to hug him. This girl hugged him before and didn't ask for his permission then. This was just a CVs idioticy like the complete Sheetal track. Do not have me start with that because that'll be even longer of a comment than this one. That was the worst track of IPK. Arnav's character was so badly destroyed in it.
It was only after meeting Khushi he was completely into her and was rather distracted to concentrate on La. You see La's importance in his life was inversly proportional to Khushi. The much he was seeing and spending time with Khushi (even though fighting and shouting mostly) the much he was sidelining La completely. If you remember La's entry then let's not forget what he said when La complained that he never has time and is so busy "tum unn bahut kam logo mein se ho jo meri marzi ke bina mere 10 minute kharab kar sakte hai". To me this little scene implied that she did have an importance in his life and few rights on him. And as he didn't love her, that means their relationship had to have another supporting pillar which has to be physicality because he is a 27 years(!) old businessman(!) and in an industry which is commonly known for Alcohol, Drugs and Sex(!). C'mon he ain't a Saint. Just think of his first encounter with Khushi and all the following. The way he touched and pulled Khushi, not caring about the proximity or hesitating, that isn't the work of a 27 years old virgin...wait, do you guys believe Salman when he says he's still a virgin?
Ok, now I'm tired so I'll finally put an end to breaking down Arnav's relationship with La and come to the main thing. The whole point of this Shot was hidden in the ending. It wasn't a shot about her mistakes, or her relationship with Arnav, it was all about the unborn. Her story with Arnav was just the build up. At the end she's wrecked and devastated due to the miscarriage and the lack of support. Most women suffer depression after a miscarriage and if you have someone who understands you it makes things a bit easier. But as it was mentioned here she was an unmarried woman who got pregnant and lost her child. The only persons who could have been there for her were her parents but they didn't make any efforts to get through to her and had just send her to a psychologist.
The result was that she talked it out but wasn't healed. She was scarred and it worsened.
It takes time and few more sessions but it works and I am able to dump the pills. I take a deep breathe and I'm able to let it go. It is hard and requires time, but I can finally move on. Although something that I keep with me forever is the memory of my baby. Every time I come home, into my room, she's there. My doll.
This was an implication to her madness. She thinks she's better and is healed. She isn't. That lifeless doll in her dream was the baby she lost. And in real life she sees her baby in that doll and treats it like that. She didn't let go, she's still trapped in her depression.
Pfui! That's it.
