Agreeing with you 200%. I have been so angsty towards arnav from the very 1st day, but now i do think we should cut him some slack in the sleeping with witch thing.
Arpita was so right, had the gender been reversed, the discussion would have ended even before it started.
Yes, he wanted an escape but NOT on s*x, yes he decided to let loose in the wrong place, BUT he didin't knew about the nature of the party beforehand. Even then after being so drunk with the slightest hint of la just putting her head on his shoulder, he immediately called manali and himself moved away. Even after being drugged he pushed away that witch so many times, but she kept on aggressively coming again and again on him and still he kept on asking her to call his driver. Does all this count for nothing?
Now imagine all of it with gender reversed.
IT IS RAPE without an iota of doubt.
Also, in the party, he was shocked to see witch taking out drugs, he thought she was always the goody shoes, that means la played her actress part very very well in front of him for all these years. He had no idea about her character till the party. But during the conversation with manali in his office he knew all about her, the affairs, drug abuse, killing other actrsse's careers and all other nasty things. That means he did his research or got to know about it all after her claiming to be pregnant in most probability i.e in the recent past only. May be that is why he said that la and ma have taken him for a ride.
And i think, even if she was preg or may be not, whatever it was, it is sorted now. Because if she was preg even now then the self righteous and hyper responsible man that arnav is, i don't think he would have dumped la in a part like that neither would have behaved with her like that. And most definitely would not have brought khushi back to face a hell like this, where another woman is preg with his child.
My assumption is, may be la has acted of having a miscarriage or abortion...i don't believe she was pregnant at all. As manali said to him that she know things about him, that how back in his hometown an absence of a child is a topic and all, this can only mean that she & la had kept a tab on everything going on in his life for years now, may be even his and khushi's distance and probably thought it is because khushi couldn't have a child and so they very cleverly planned the whole thing and played the pregnant card.
Also if you see the dates, their supposed "sleeping together" happened on 9 oct and she came with "i think i am pregnant" on 8th nov, exactly a month time, so that she could say she missed her dates, took a test and found out.
It was all very well planned and executed.
Saying all this, in way i am cutting him any slack for how cruelly he behaved with khushi before and after. That was literally mental abuse, no doubt in that.
HE IS 200% THE CULPRIT of everything else but in the la episode HE IS THE VICTIM.
Yes I agree that I doubt lavanya is pregnant. That's too much to be true if u consider the dates. Plus as Tashi mentioned if she was pregnant she won't abort as that was a hold on Arnav like they never had before
in hindsight, Arnav's dismissal of lavanya, his discussion with her on his anniversary day, his not telling her about pictures make sense as he must have caught on their duplicity but i doubt he has understood the whole set up
I think he knew of the existence of only 2 pictures.the last ones in khushi's stack.the panchgani ones. La must have even used those photos to play victim with him
But somehow along the lines Arnav has stumbled on to them hence the hatred for Manali and dislike for lavanya
