Khushi has her own responsibilities. Someone must have used Anjali or her mother as a bait and forced Khushi to marry Arnav. I don't think Khushi holds Arnav responsible for Shashi's death. It would have reflected in her musings. She just seems very gloomy, as if she is waiting for the good time to pass, even before it begins for her.

Okay, I don't think I am making sense at this point. I will zip it up for now 😆

You make absolute sense dear!

I agree even I thought Khushi holds Arnav responsible or somewhere connected to Shashi's death but I don't think that's case, khushi is not that clueless at the end she is an advocate - she might be now guessing someone and probably that is also connected to Arshi marriage.

Loved your & Raji's take on Anjali.

You are right! Anjali, SHyam, Akaash have not even made an entry, yet we are speculating about them like there's no tomorrow. "Withered" has taken us by storm. N - Iss pyar ko kya naam de? ❤️

We all are on a roll and how😍

WITHERED is seeing a different us and better us🙂

I don't think Khushi is head-over-heels-in-love with Arnav, but that doesn't mean she hasn't felt the stirrings at all. She is not unaffected by his charms and is an equal participant in the love making. She may not have realized it yet, but it does look like she's on the road to falling in love with Arnav. If not anything, her jealousy is a telltale sign of feeling "something" for him. But she is holding back. That's for sure. And I strongly feel it's not just because of his image. She is convinced that this relation has an expiry date. And I see two reasons for her feeling so -

1) Arnav's playboy image, obviously. She thinks Arnav is not capable of monogamy. She doesn't doubt his love for her at the moment, but feels that sooner or later it will die off.

2) This one is a long shot, but like I said in my previous comments, I feel she is just a pawn in the larger scheme of things. She has been meticulously placed in Arnav's life for their own selfish benefits. Khushi feels sorry that Arnav thinks he loves her, probably because she knows that once the cards are open, she will be a major reason for his broken heart.

I also have a theory that it's not Manohar who has placed her in Arnav's path. He may be the reason for Arnav bumping into her, but no where it was mentioned that Manohar convinced/forced her to marry. It was all speculations.

I have a feeling it could be Shyam or Payal's Mom

Lovely speculation 👏

But if Payal mom or Shyam forced her to marry Arnav, you think Manohar would have kept quite?

Khushi clearly says that she caught Arnav eyes and she was made Arnav's wife by Manohar - because she is the most trust worthy junior and she couldn't refute because of indebtedness she felt to Manohar!

I also noted that Arnav says that she rejected his proposal and wonders what made her concede to the marriage - so there is more to it, not just Manohar but something else..

Maybe Manohar has no whiff of it

Khushi clearly says that she caught Arnav eyes and she was made Arnav's wife by Manohar - because she is the most trust worthy junior and she couldn't refute because of indebtedness she felt to Manohar!

In Prologue, she just wished she wasn't the protege of Manohar, and in Chap 2 Arnav was grateful to Manohar for bringing Khushi in his life. It was just our speculations where we thought Manohar forced/persuaded Khushi to marry Arnav. Not saying he didn't, but it wasn't explicitly mentioned in the last 3 updates. Or did I overlook something?

I also noted that Arnav says that she rejected his proposal and wonders what made her concede to the marriage - so there is more to it, not just Manohar but something else..

Yes, looks like he pursued her for 2-3 years before she agreed to marry him. It's still a mystery to us as well as Arnav (I think) on what made Khushi change her mind

She loves him, but, can't say it out loud because, she thinks there is no future between them as couple. She thinks by saying "I love you" she might be trapping Arnav into a relationship he does not want.

Why I think she loves him - because, she gave herself to him without any inhibitions. If there is any apprehension in her actions, Arnav would notice. The intimacy they are sharing is not one day or one off thing, right?

Cheers.......

Raji,

You mean she loves him but not have reasons confess to him and with the image of Gold digger (as Payal says) and his actions of showing love by showering her gifts will confirm that she loves him for his money or tag 'Manohar Step-son' 'Politician'

But She introduced herself as Unloved Wife of womanizer son of.. - She also thinks that his declaration of love is a way/habit he has during intimacy - She acknowledges marriage or his proclamation of love is definitely not enough for their relationship to prolong!!

Physical intimacy I think She couldn't avoid as she was also attracted but by heart she hasn't accepted or felt it - Because she thinks Arnav uses his charm with girls and likewise he used on her..

I doubt my speculation on the physical intimacy and could be totally wrong!

What say? Did I miss something or overseeing some aspects??

Though she is from middle class and a sole bread winner of the family, she is an advocate - I don't think she would fall for a thread!

It was just our speculations where we thought Manohar forced/persuaded Khushi to marry Arnav. Not saying he didn't, but it wasn't explicitly mentioned in the last 3 updates. Or did I overlook something?

Khushi says she owes a lot to Manohar and with the demise of Shashi, Manohar seems to have got Khushi under his wings and when she rejected Arnav's proposal then I feel only Manohar would have made her change her decision! But there could be something more to, as she is a mature girl though lacks in the subject of heart and love, I'm sure she is smart with brains - so there could be something more other than Manohar's influence..

Yes, looks like he pursued her for 2-3 years before she agreed to marry him. It's still a mystery to us as well as Arnav (I think) on what made Khushi change her mind

Yes that could be the answer to Khushi's secret as well
