In my opinion I would go ballistic with La and Manali is La’s manager and her caretaker, and she will do everything under umbrella to protect La / her career as well as look for her welfare as that is her job.

However, the biggest perpetrator here is Lavanya in my opinion and honestly I could have choked her neck or killed her 😡

Hey Swati. How have you been. I did think why would you be absent from the chat when the thread was becoming so interesting? 😂

However, in the spirit of discussion 😉, I don’t think I agree to the majority of what you said. I will lay down my arguments below.

I AM ALREADY EXTREMELY SORRY. I think my language will come off as strong because I feel very passionately about what you wrote here. I look forward to your comments and I’ve read several of them repeatedly. This is just my rebuttal with my own take.

****************************

Regarding his stay at a rave

I think you and Arnav think on the same line. That he cheated. I disagree however.

His mistake is that he went there in the first place. But he had admitted he needed unwinding that day, needing his vacation more than the next breath. He was delusional to the point of being suicidal. It’s not usual. He was obviously not normal.

You used Akash’s words so I would use the same. He said it’s so unlike you Arnav. And Akash was not around, but his ARF staff was. He knew people there. He also gave the only explanation. That he was leaving by 11. He was leaving early. He drank alone, saw everyone getting wasted and got up to leave.

And Akash also doesn’t know the whole thing. Arnav is making it sound like he drank to oblivion but he could hold his drink couldn’t he? He talked to Lavanya perfectly coherently up until the point he actually got up to leave. HE WAS IN HIS SENSES WHEN HE GOT UP AND LEFT. HE DIDNT DRINK TO THE POINT OF OBLIVION.

Something had happened there. I am sure of a foul play. Had la not been there, he was still in his limits and he would have been back to his hotel/ resort.

**************************

The moment he realized it was not Khushi

He was going in and out of consciousness. I think this exact moment is the reason he didn’t even suspect foul play. In his mind he must have had some control over himself while in reality he was about to fall off a damned balcony!!!

Also, this is a classic trait in people who have been violated. Self blaming. I should have done that. I should not have done that. Maybe I deserved what happened. If you read the passage again, he is not stating this fact. He is helpless. He is asking Aakash whether he should have said no more forcefully.

In reality, he had done that repeatedly. Said no. Asked for his driver. Said he wanted to go home. All I have to do is replace Arnav with a girl and the scene clears up for me.

If a girl is at a rave, tells the host she is not a fan of drug fests, is still in her senses by the time she RESPONSIBLY gets up and leave and then gets tricked into it, then ITS RAPE. plain and simple. Someone wrote it in the previous comment.

Men’s biology is different. Bodily consent here was obtained by force and fraud. Also, if Lavanya wanted to go all the way, the drugs are often laced with things that can make sexual appetite and prowess go up.

***********************************************

Finding out about pregnancy lie

He did put two and two together immediately. He asked if the photos trace back to Lavanya. Aman with all his resources said a resounding NO. I think Appy di wrote it too or agreed to it. Lavanya is a celebrity. It’s not hard to believe some photographer just randomly trailed her.

You’re right here. Aman asks when are they going to bring Khushi bhabhi back. He still thinks he cheated because he had that ‘one moment of knowing it wasn’t Khushi’. Please also note he was wasted enough to not know who it was, just not Khushi.

Appy di confirmed. He still asked Aman to trail Manali. He has no reason to believe that this was not just a drunken escapade and Lavanya is now trying to milk the incident. He is rich after all. He says maybe she wants money. He is not even fathoming that somebody would go all out an orchestrate something like this. Especially when he thinks Lavanya was drunk too. His last coherent thought was a drunk Lavanya falling on his shoulders.

He is crying in the car later thinking he is UNSAFE. that there are people who went to great lengths to harm him this way. And this is when he doesn’t even know the full truth. Just the pregnancy lie. Author said so. He is used to deal with business vultures. But such an attack on personal life and reputation will leave anyone doubtful and vulnerable.

***********************************************

Why did he not think Panchgani was orchestrated?

Why would he? Lavanya has been a professional with him for 6+ years. Why would he think that she suddenly developed an obsession when a more probable explanation is that both of them were drunk, had an ONS and maybe Lavanya tried to milk the incident by lying that she was pregnant. When Aman asks why do you think she lied, his first response in money and then attraction.

We, as readers know of her obsession. Arnav has no idea. He would have been a narcissistic, self centered b*stard you called him if his fursat thought would have been I’m so irresistible maybe she just wants me.

********************************************

Would he have reacted the same way if Khushi was getting impacted by la and Manali?

I think we all know the answer to it. He didn’t even know Khushi was even in the plan of la and Manali. His divorce was fixed in his head and he didn’t or didn’t even need to think on those lines.

He tells Manali not to bring in Khushi in between these dirty games. He did not retaliate for his violation but all Manali did was threaten Khushi and he lost his shit.

Even then, he tells Manali to back off and he will back off too. Manali was even trying to hold back. But she is a bigger idiot.

****************************************

Emotional cheating with Lavanya while Khushi was under the same roof

Here we have some mighty expectations from him don’t we? I think we just engaged in a discussion where bollybabe thought he was not an honourable man because he refused to extend emotional connect to a child he was about to father. While your POV scrutinised him for offering financial and mental support.

He did what a decent human being would, took up the responsibility. He has met Lavanya what, twice? Once to discuss what she decided and once to see because Manali b*tch said Lavanya couldn’t even move.

He had drawn the line since that very day. He doesn’t entertain her on the phone when she even tries to talk about babies or life in general. He is a busy man. I don’t think he was on a call with her for hours while his wife was under the same roof. He was guilty beyond shame when all Lavanya did was message and Khushi was sitting right there. I don’t think he even had it in himself. And he was too precise. Too consistent in putting Lavanya back in her place anytime she tried to do something like that.

So yeah, he is sharp enough that Lavanya’s plan failed. Even if Aman wasn’t investigating on his own and the baby was real, he had been clear on his stance and Lavanya would never get him.

There is no way on earth this is cheating. Not even emotional. Two pages back he was being berated for how Khushi will feel that he refused to emotionally be there for a child when she runs an NGO and now the same thing is being tagged as cheating. It’s like he can’t win at all.

*******************************************

Not having morals for telling Khushi?

How is this him having ZERO morals in life? He was waiting for her to come back so he could tell her immediately because he was dying in guilt. He thought to the point of letting Khushi have her and his family in place before telling her so that IT BECOMES EASIER FOR HER. He admits being selfish only on one instance. That is to have his family sit once under the roof he had built with his blood sweat and tears because he is sure all of them will LEAVE him after that. That is such a sorry state to be in. Knowing you’re about to lose your whole family.

*********************************************

Khushi’s reputation and marriage with Shyam

This directly counters your earlier arguments that Arnav did not need to save Khushi and she and her family were capable of doing that.

He was the one who stopped the reporters from even reaching there. Was constantly on the lookout the moment the news got leaked. Was ready to go back to Lucknow to get her back and would have gone if not from that phone call from Khushi where she says she is going to meet a guy with a child. That’s the day he cries in the car isn’t it? And all this after he knew that their hometown was not a place that’s safe for Khushi to go. She was the one who did, why was he wrong in assuming she would contribute to lead a better life in Mumbai than go back to that archaic place!

In fact, Khushi moving there had disturbed him so much that he acknowledged he needs professional help. That he can’t sleep at all. I don’t think it’s right to them call him as someone who only cared about his reputation.

He was on the other hand thinking that a legal mess was waiting and photos could leak. So Khushi should get away from this shit strorm as soon as possible.

I am sorry. I get that he had made mistakes and not communicating his demons and fears are the biggest of them all bit the analysis and words used for him here are too harsh.

Especially the ones saying he is narcissistic and has zero morals. In my opinion, he may be flawed in a million different ways, but he has our Khushi before himself and obviously has a very strong moral backbone. He wouldn’t berate himself so much otherwise.

I agree with you about the rave party. Also there was no emotional cheating. So no reason to discuss that.

Let me try to explain where many readers are coming from including me..which many times gets muddled by our anger how everything affects Khushi. A woman who he loves and so does she.

****

In this story he is a intelligent man who measures all his moves and of course that means he factors other responses and behavior. This is how he has become a very successful rich man in such a short period of time.

What I have lot of difficulty in understanding that he has never paused to reflect (and he has mused and cried a lot since Khushi departure) after what Aman told him about being conned.

His intial reaction is of a " rich businessman "..hey you checked without permission someone medical history. Then he tells Aman he will not do anything to LaMa. The attack is only on him and he does not like to fight..plus he thinks he is guilty. And like Arpita pointed out he is lawyered up.

He truly cannot fathom how K will hurt by this information. He has forgotten how they basically moved forward his divorce, one he was only going to file AFTER he spoke to K.

K Is gone..so does not matter anymore. Fair enough.

He finally does react when Manali threatens with the divorce leak. Because it will affect Khushi.

Even here he first confirms if La is part of it. Yes, this is all to show how fair and honest he is before he attacks someone.

*****

Buy to me all his behavior it comes across he is being fair to La but not to his wife that he says he loves and will protect no matter what.

It is moreover confusing and makes you think he has a soft spot for la .

His reaction or no reaction, to the two, to me is too mild. This is not a business deal and this is not about him. But a naive, unprotected woman, he cares for.

In all his actions that he has taken when it comes to the two LBs..his power of reasoning is the lowest.

His reactions are solitary rather than factoring all other information that he has at his disposal..like the two snow balled his divorce and faked a pregnancy. Makes no sense given what he know of how astute the man is otherwise. (Note I am talking after the divorce leak)

It seems he is thinking about everybody except Khushi. So one questions does he even love her?

To most readers it about Khushi and how this whole thing has affected her. It is because of La pregnancy hoax the divorce got expedited. Yes he did not know in Nov or in early Jan. But he knew later.

His mild reaction to La (manali is an employee) in particular irks most readers. Hard to buy that it is Manali that drives the decision given it is La who he slept with and La he had empathy for

***

Hope that helps..and if not that is OK. It is a story not everyone will process information similarly

Sure. I will defend my points exactly from what is written in The FF. Because at this point I am convinced half of the opinions are coloured by personal bias and discussions in the comment sections rather than what actually went down in the story. So I will use the FF itself to answer.

Even when he was thinking, he should have discussed with his wife first, period. He was running away from her, ignoring her,wanted her to read the signs, guess when he does NOT wish her on anniversary, like seriously???? Was mad for she knowing or jumping to conclusions via her talks to Aman, please defend this. How low can he stoop to bring the situation to expect her to guess the divorce when he exactly know how important marriage is for her and she kept trying all along??

Please tell me where is it written that he expected her to guess divorce? He only thinks that she shouldn’t be that shocked given the way things have folded out in the past one month. He was going to TALK to her. Khushi knowing about the divorce was a SHOCK to him. The one that quote literally threw him off his thought out plant ‘TO MAKE THE WHOLE THING EASIER FOR HER’

secondly, it does say in the FF why he didn’t immediately talk to Khushi. In clear cut words. That he needed to be sure first. Let me directly quote.

He had been shaken to his core the first time this thought had popped up in his head after he moved away from their bedroom this time. Imagining a future where Khushi was not by his side did not even seem plausible till some time ago but it had started to become a reality in his eyes. This seemed like the only right thing to do.

*********************

He could not randomly dump this thought on her head. He needed to be sure first. If he even broached the topic of separation, she will be hurt. And while he had become almost sure that this was the right way forward, he needed to eliminate the last shred of doubt from his heart.

And then he will talk to her.

And this is where he becomes sure of it. After sending Khushi away rudely. Is he not supposed to even take a month to decide that he wants to end a decade long marriage????

Again, directly taken from the FF.

By the time, morning came; Arnav knew he and Khushi needed to have a talk. They could not go on living like this. She would never be the one to say or even acknowledge it. He would have to be the one to initiate the uncomfortable topic. He had made the decision already.

Once she is back from Lucknow.

He thought to himself

Really, then she shouldn't have got the pics, he protected wealth which she never cared for, he was never thinking about she getting pics, blackmailed for money or emotional stress or she getting other clues like random messages giving her hints, big mistake. In digital world, nobody can be so sure, he was just being cocky.

Again the excerpt directly taken from the FF that he only protected wealth she didn’t care for. Yes he failed here. Do you expect him to play god? Also, the timeline. He took care of the pictures A DAY BEFORE he was going to talk to her.

“Someone sent these two photos to me and Lavanya” Arnav continued as Aman stood mute. “Find out and…” Arnav said but Aman cut him off for the first time ever.

“And not let this or the reporters reach Khushi Bhabhi. Got it” he said and left.

Arnav sighed and decided to call up his lawyers. They needed to know everything immediately.

Here is him STILL BEING VIGILANT about it. Even though the matter was taken care of. By the way, even the street smart Aman was sure Khushi couldn’t know about Lavanya since he took care of the pictures. And Arnav was still vigilant. Here’s both those snippets from the FF with his lawyer

"Surely, you know what's wrong," she said calmly, causing Aman's insides to turn to ice. Did she know? Had she found out about Lavanya?

But she couldn’t. He took care of that whole mess already.

Naina raised a quizzical eyebrow. "What about those photographs?"

"Aman traced the guy responsible," Arnav interjected as he got up and walked over to the nearby bar, pouring himself a much needed drink, after Naina and Aman rejected his silent offer. He was not typically one to drink so early in the day, but today, he could empathize with those who did. "A freelancer," he then continued. "He was just attempting to earn a quick buck. We paid him and confiscated all of his electronic devices. We have traced them all thoroughly. Also, the guy is rather terrified of Aman. He threatened him with legal repercussions for his attempted blackmail."

“You can never be careful enough though” Naina said, still not looking convinced.

“Yeah, you don’t have to tell me” Arnav said. “We’re still keeping an eye on him”

He didn't and couldn't protect Khushi from his own misbehavior when she has NO CLUE whatsoever what's going on in his life or around her, bravo! He treated her the worst instead of telling her about La, he shouldn't be able to forgive himself for this just like La mishap in Pachgani, both situations he could have avoided by choice and communication.

Here is him thinking I am dying in guilt so I will tell her immediately about Lavanya.

A part of him wished she was not in bhagwanpur right now. Had she been here, he would drop to his knees and confess this. He was ready to be selfish right now. He would tell her and break her heart instead of dealing with this guilt.

He might just break her heart so he could breathe.

Here’s him thinking he should be SELFISH for once and even Khushi should have a support system when he tells her. He lived with the guilt for a whole month while he was putting out fires everywhere. Was he wrong in ignoring Khushi? Yes. Because she got hurt. Did he have reasons? Also yes.

What will he tell her now? Before she left for Lucknow, he had prepared himself to tell her that they needed to split because they were not happy with each other. Then he was supposed to tell her that he had betrayed her in the worst way possible and when he thought that things could probably not go worse, they had. Now he needed to tell her that this woman could be pregnant with his child and he hoped to a god he didn’t believe in that she wasn’t.

But at least, Khushi will not be alone when he tells her. She would have her parents to turn to when he breaks her heart. She will have even his parents to turn to when they look at him with disgust in their eyes because she had been more of a daughter to them than he had ever been a son.

He had always told Khushi that it did not matter that papa never wanted to visit him in Mumbai. And she had always told him that he lied to himself. Today he realized that she was right. Just imagining his family for once sitting inside the home that he has built with his blood, sweat and tears would probably give him enough strength for a lifetime. Because there was going to be none of it after this. And that was okay. He had since long accepted that this was anyway never going to happen. He will tuck away the memory for colder days that were written in his future.

He was allowed to be this selfish right?

So, he will somehow live in this purgatory for a month and a half. Maybe spend one last evening with his whole family by his side. One last moment of joy before he ruins everything forever.

Because Arnav is stupid or completely lost under mental stress, nothing else. La & Ma wanting Khushi out of his life is straight forward first discussion, they both were willing to do everything for the baby and he missed the biggest clue.

This is the only part which is in tune to what has actually happened in the FF. He did fail. He did make the mistakes. I think the author herself explained that his divorced wife will not be a target.But his intentions and actions were nowhere close to what you’re making it out to be. Again here is the excerpt of him thinking on those lines.

Even then, he did protect her. The reporters never reached her. The news got leaked because of Manali’s stupidity because he left no stone unturned in telling her what exactly will he do to her and la if they dragged Khushi. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME HE IS EVEN THINKING ABOUT KHUSHI BEING A TAREGT. And he is right too! Manali did agree to back out. She was shitting bricks when she learnt that news got leaked. His anger and threat had worked. She was going to back off!

By the way. Here’s him. Under extreme duress. Still thinking about Khushi and how her future life should unfold instead of himself.

He continued, as if Akash was not even present in the room. “I need to talk to her about finances. I will move to the penthouse. Shantivan is closer to Udaan too. I need her to be a little more in tune with her finances even after alimony. Do you think…”

“Arnav SHUTUP!” Akash roared. “Stop talking like this. Look at you!” he said as he pointed towards Arnav whose hands were shaking uncontrollably. “I don’t know why you thought leaving Khushi was easy for you because it clearly isn’t. Talk to her! But don’t dump your decision on her. Let her make the call. She might just forgive you for Lavanya given how vulnerable you get…”

Since I know your next comment will be he only thought about living arrangements and wealth, here is him thinking about her emotional state. He already wanted the parents to be there. People Khushi is supposedly closest to.

“Tell Khushi” Akash said firmly. “tell her every damn thing. She will understand. She will forgive you”

Arnav let out a sad smile. “I know she will”

“Then?” Akash yelled again. “Then why the hell did you have a divorce lawyer ready?”

“She was helping Basu with my will. Nothing had been started on divorce. I need to talk to Khushi first” Arnav said as he looked around the room, urgency colouring his words suddenly. “There’s a lot that needs to be done. She is so hurt and won’t let me explain but its important that we talk. She will blame herself for a lot of it otherwise”

I am sorry. I know I was coming off harsh so I had to use the snippets from the FF itself. I get it. There are long chapters and details can be missed. But I think it’s great disservice to the story where every sentence is packed with meaning and we completely discard it to add in our own narrative. Which I see happening in this comment section a lot.

Explaining a different POV is very much welcomed and I think is necessary. But I draw the line where imaginary things are popping up and personal biases are covering up what actually went down in the story. It changes the perception of the story for everyone.

I have said it before and I will say it again. Ignoring Khushi was a mistake. Not talking about his issues was a mistake. He did fail at times to protect Khushi. But he has to be a god to be able to make everything right. But nothing this character has ever done which warrants such harsh critique.

I even spoke in Khushi’s favour when people questioned her love and devotion to Arnav. There I was also concerned that nobody seems to pay attention to her upbringing anymore. She is wired that way.

I hope you understand where I am coming from and why I have chosen the Ff snippets to answer your questions. I think it’s normal to miss out on such details. But what we can do is double check.

I quoted the ff in one of my previous comments where Arnav thinks about la and Manali in equal anger. My problem is, why are we discarding his actual thoughts in favour of what we are speculating? He is clearly thinking about putting Lavanya’s deceitful career to rest, and we are blaming him for having a soft spot for la because he asked his secretary why he went around snooping someone’s medical history? Even Aman had to tell him that I wanted to be sure. And I think we missed out yet another detail. Arnav was confused why this mystery woman being la bothered Aman so much. (When he showed the photograph)

I am glad Appy di confirmed he hates Manali more and gave her reasons. But it doesn’t say to me he has a soft spot for Lavanya. Arnav did think that Lavanya is too far depended on Manali right? For gods sake he did see Manali give la a sedative! He constantly thinks how every PR stunt is co ordinate by Manali. Lavanya was vulnerable in new year oarty and Manali had those vulture eyes (Arnav’s words not mine)

I didn’t want to say it because I will be speculating again, but he is not wrong in suspecting Manali more than Lavanya. He even asked the photos to be traced back to her when Aman said they have no connections to Lavanya or her team.

For me what cements it is that he is going after Lavanya not Manali. He is powerful, he can hurt Manali in different ways too right? He confirms Lavanya wanted to meet him which is why Manali resorted to blackmail and then hit Lavanya’s career. Also vows to himself to destroy them both. This effectively ends any doubt for me that he has a soft corner for her.

I hope you get that why am I so defensive of this point. It’s not a clash of POVs for me. It’s what has happened in the story itself. Again, thanks for laying down your arguments because I am genuinely trying to understand. 😘

But we need to know that Arnav doesn’t know what we know.

I am so glad that you also thought exactly like me. Yes, someone else was giving me explanation for his behavior and going gaga over it.

I had to tell that we can agree to disagree, but somehow this is my expectation from him for his decade old marriage, and unconditional devotion of Khushi to this relationship.

Anyhow, it’s just a story and we all have our own expectations from the characters and I can have peace with that.

I also understand that his intentions were never wrong, but the way he executed has not been right either.

I disagree with him about telling his divorce plan to third-party to those mad bitches rather than to his wife first how can he take major decision like that, and keeping Khushi in dark not only for His decision for divorce, but also his one night stand and possibility of pregnancy.

Also, it’s kind of disgusting that Khushi was living under the same roof with him and because of his guilt he was ignoring her which is like hitting under the belt to me, and at the same time he was meeting, these bitches to take care of so-called pregnancy and his one night stand.

Sorry— I cannot digest that but again it’s just me.

I don’t need somebody else to come and give a explanation about this to me as I understand it’s just a story and he is flawed character. As I said earlier, my heart bleeds for Khushi that she has to go through all this trauma because of him and her fault is that she is too much self sacrificing and in a way emotionally dependent. . She got a good lesson from this and hopefully she will change after this.

I think many of the things you have raised..the two LB knowing about divorce or how he takes decisions for Khushi welfare before consulting.. I have raised for a long time. Some of it got cleared in last 2 chapters.

Even if there was no La saga..the guy does not talk. He shut her up and started distancing himself since she brought up kids. So we have that..yet to be covered.

I don't want to talk about La. It irks me as a woman..when a woman wants both ways. I would have a lot of difficulty in digesting that she was nothing but a pawn

But we need to know that Arnav doesn’t know what we know.

It is not speculation or what we know and Arnav does not know. My argument was more what he know and uses that information later.

It is more how he has gone about taking decisions. Like I said as a reader we are looking at the aftermath of it to Khushi. Which Arpita has amazingly penned.

La pregnancy (specifically) not ONS put an end to a conversation between the two. So Like I said it is baffling that he has not connected the dots..

The guy is a mess without his wife, he is doing deals. Why has he not pondered even once about what he knows about the two LBs?

All this about he confirming about La involvement, his dig at Manali does not help. Yes it fits with his characterization but muddles it for the reader.

Honestly even if Manali is the real culprit and La is nothing but a pawn.

The character La (interlude)..their conversation in restaurant .

I don't like her. Arpita nailed it😊

Arpita if it's ok and if it's not inpqcting story could you tell us if we will get the 'down the memory lanes' chapters now or they will come a bit later after couple of chapters?

Coder Lady, I don’t understand your post. We know Lavenya is not pregnant. She lied. Most of the stuff that happened in 11B was Arnav trying to do cleanup, both before he found out the truth and after.

I have yet to read part B. That was my comment after reading part A.

Not surprised though. Was fully expecting the news to be false.

His mild reaction to La (manali is an employee) in particular irks most readers. Hard to buy that it is Manali that drives the decision given it is La who he slept with and La he had empathy for

Hope that helps..and if not that is OK. It is a story not everyone will process information similarly

Absolutely agree. You have verbalized my thoughts.

I miss the boxer conversation so much Puja 😭.

Boxers never got their due credit for being there with Arnav when he had lost his senses. They were there when rest of his clothes left him.

They have given us hope that may be Lunatic could not finish what she started. I will have this hope till I read Lunatic’s POV.

They are like tiny ray of light in this dark BL world for Arnav, Khushi and even us readers.

I hold great reverence for them. 🙏

Edited:- can’t call lunatic anything else, no lavanya for her
