Since you mentioned that Garima chose Arnav over Akash, I would like to talk about it.
I assume when Manohar proposed marriage between Khushi and Arnav, despite knowing Khushi's feelings for Akash, Garima approved the marriage. There could be three reasons.
- She was certain that Khushi's feelings are just platonic and not blossomed into full pledged love or not reciprocated and she was also certain that Akash can't be a good husband. May be she knows more about Akash.
- For some reason, she did not approve of the free gifts (Priya and Payal)which are part of the alliance with Akash.
- She is actually supporting/protecting Arnav the way Shashi supported/protected Arti and she was sure about her daughter's capabilities
My only concern is, Khushi is ~26 years old and has a say in her own marriage. If she is naive, isn't it better to tell her before hand? Khushi is a criminal lawyer and has been taking care of her family since Shashi passed away. She should be given some credit.
Does Garima know more about Shyam, which made her overlook the court case Manohar and probably Shashi fought years?
Cheers........
