I get it. However, Payal’s statement wasn’t standalone or unprovoked. Arnav was telling her that he believed this was in Khushi’s best interest too. (And I myself as a writer have defended Arnav in the past for this notion) but Payal is not me. She is blunt in the face of anger and agony as well. Akash had to calm her down and tell her that she has a habit of blowing the fuse and she doesn’t end up reaching Arnav.
She didn’t do it to blackmail him to do anything. So she said what she believed was true. And the thing is, it WAS true. Khushi had made a mistake of making her marriage her EVERYTHING. And Arnav knew it too. Payal had only asked if he truly thought Khushi would move on and he fell silent. He had told himself the uncomfortable thought of Khushi moving on with someone. He just didn’t say it to Payal.
His ultimate end to the conversation was telling payal to shut up basically. No wonder these two are friends. 😅😅😅They’re alike in temperament.
I mean payal didn’t hold back her tongue when she was supposedly comforting Arnav on Akash’s suggestion. She believed he was hurting, was trying to knock some sense into him. Dropped the pill bomb on his head. And even in that situation told him that she hoped Khushi gets someone better than him. 😂😂😂 (I seriously loved writing it. I could imagine payal trying to curb her anger on Arnav’s stupidity and then finally bursting) Payal throughout this story, is the only character who is calling things as they are. In short, she has no filter.
So yeah. I think it was common knowledge just how traditional and old school Khushi was when it came to marriage because Arnav himself was worried if she still held on to those beliefs. Which is why it’s my reasoning that it wasn’t emotional blackmail. Just a very heated conversation between friends. Akash and Payal were both PISSED at him since prologue. Obviously they didn’t react well to the whole news.
