@Learrntowrite: I wanna echo Puja's comment: "Woh Stree Hai Woh Kuch Bhi Kar Sakti hai!" 🤣 No, seriously, take a bow. Your commitment to giving this amazingly intricate story the respect it deserves is commendable. I am absolutely amazed by you quoting this story left, right, and center and trying to explain your point of view as explained by the story rather than being colored by personal bias. That takes effort. 👏

I guess since last night, a lot of topics have been touched upon here and I do not wish to reiterate what has already been said. But what I overwhelmingly felt was that, perhaps subconsciously, but we do not treat mental health problems with the respect that we would some actual physical health problems. We are sitting on the sidelines, with all our faculties and sanity (not sure if there's any left after reading so many comments, but nevertheless) and judging him and telling him, oh my god, he screwed up. But, it is hard to imagine to be in his place and have some empathy for what he is going through.

We are judging his decision to not go ballistic over La-Ma pregnancy hoax, but we are forgetting that he still thinks he cheated, he still thinks he deserves what he got! His guilt has snowballed from "not being able to give Khushi a baby" to "cheating in his marriage and destroying Khushi" to "making another woman pregnant". Even if the pregnancy part comes out to be untrue later, he still is dealing with the guilt of how he wronged Khushi, and perhaps even wronged Lavanya (by sleeping with her). Perhaps he thinks that he gave them the avenue to take him for a ride. When he cries in his car later, he is crying at someone being so vile to him without cause. And moreover, by the time he comes to know about this (pregnancy scam), Khushi is already gone. Honestly at this point in his life, there is nothing left to salvage! So, what does he have left to fight for anyway. He is not sleeping, going to therapist for medication, running two companies, working to the bone to avoid having feelings! Yes, he is running away, but is that a surprise after what he went through?

Also, what is he going to get by challenging Lavanya and Manali? Doesn't playing dirty with them here, a 100% assure that Khushi will be get in the middle! We acknowledge he is the billionaire and he has resources, but Lavanya and Manali are not newbies in the game either. Lavanya comes from generational wealth and old money, and taking on a fight with them when he is convinced that Khushi is safe away from all this ugliness (not safe in the village, but at least away from the ugly truth) is like directly putting Khushi in the crossfire with a hundred percent guarantee!

Anyway, I think I ended up typing stuff/rambling even though I seemingly did not have any more words :P But okay, I am done now!

He is having mental health issues..he needs help. he is intelligent enough to understand that but as is usual we ignore the warnings our mind and body send us. Plus going to the therapist is still not conventional. its getting better but we don't realize what a depressed state can cause us. I have been there i know going to the therapist doesn't come naturally to most

Now Women generally tend to talk their problems out and Men don't. ofcourse there are exceptions but its generally the case. They want to be sure and they are more action oriented. So he wanted to first get the mess as sorted as possible

He was still reeling in immense guilt. Already whatever has caused him to not have baby is building up for some time. Plus Oct is very vulnerable time for him. Both Akash and Khushi alluded to it. Akash was ready to understand his ONS because of that vulnerability and both knew even Khushi would. So whatever is causing that is already immense. Add to that the guilt for making Khushi unhappy, his stress of working, sleep deprivation has already impacted his abilities of rational thinking. He already demonstrated that by staying in that party. Then his immense Guilt of cheating on Khushi. He was just paralyzed by that. He should have done many things differently but with above things i can understand he couldn't do things differently

Regarding retaliation to MaLa, as i commented earlier, he was immensely relieved. He felt tired. He already has lost khushi. he knows he has to be alone. So why to get into ugly fight to increase ur blood pressure and mental stress. Plus I agree with you, somewhere he felt he deserved it for losing control and cheating khushi. Plus MaLa are not novices of the game. La's goody two shoes image will protect her from direct attack anyways. and they have tendency to take people in court and play dirty. He just didnt have that much energy to deal with all this.

Look at this way, he was ready to not fight for his sake. he was ok to be beaten. he doesn't consider himself worth it. But the moment they bring khushi in the mix, he retaliates

So my take is, he doesnt have soft corner for La but he just doesnt consider himself worthy of fighting for. He doesn't love himself enough to fight for the wrongs done to him. He only does that when khushi is dragged into the mix

One more realisation, now I am sure it was Lunatic who had sent the pics and her sidekick is just a sidekick.

Sidekick has deluded herself that she controls BL’s life but BL only let her control what she wants. If she wanted to do Kahin door she did it.

Now, lunatic made sure she sends only pictures to khushi not her pregnancy reports.

Pregnancy reports though would have executed the job of making sure Khushi is out of his life but made Arnav trace them to her.

God, she is more cunning than any other character of this story.

But thank god Khushi never got them then, it would have just killed her that Arnav had fathered a child with someone else when he was breaking their marriage for this very reason in the first place. Even if Arnav was going to be emotionally unavailable to lunatics child.

Now, what was Arnav thinking when he thought they (as in Arnav and Khushi after the divorce)could still be friends.🙄

[I know he thought Khushi will marry in future and have kids of her own]

I also know Arnav did not know Khushi was considered as infertile back in her hometown, so he did not realise Khushi’s life would have become worse than hell there.

Thank god there was no child, thanks boxers 🙏

P.s Arpita you dont consider this as any question( you had explained in ch8), I actually don’t have any questions.

Ashvini, your last 3 paragraphs have my heart!!! This is exactly my thinking. He has no sense of self preservation beyond business sense. He immediately lawyered up, but they needed to protect Khushi’s assets first.

Akash pointed out that his hands were trembling when Khushi just agreed to divorce out of the blue, and all he was thinking about was how to make it easier for her emotionally and financially. Yes, he does put emphasis on money and frankly, that’s a very practical thing to do.

Plus, my biggest point and Manali confirmed. Even in such a mental state, he didn’t let the divorce news leak which was for Khushi’s comfort.

Look at how different the reaction is when he is threatened and when Khushi is threatened. You articulated it so well. He doesn’t consider himself worth fighting for but for Khushi, he will even fight dirty. He tells Manali I will stoop to your level and chop your f*cking legs off. Manali, who was so confident after taking him for a ride. No wonder she thought the blackmail would be easy because he was a gentleman about the whole Lavanya pregnancy thing.

Okay guys chill out.

This chapter seems to have caused a lot of trouble and we are nearing the end of the thread already (damn 🙈)

So let’s calm down and I’ll try to answer some questions. You all get 2 questions each and they can be anything - except the future chapters obviously 😅

I understand that not everyone will agree to my POV, but I can try to tell you what I intended.

I’d be pretty happy though if I don’t get any questions at all LMAO. but yeah, in case you want to. 2 questions each ;)

Are we suppose to ask questions in thread or through DM arpita ?

Here is my question though

Are you going to bring the famous 'Boxers' in the game anytime soon? 🤣🤣 will we get to know that mystery or that is the secret you will take to the grave :P

On serious note, I dont have any questions. I was just confused with why he didnt confront LaMa with fake pregnancy but your explanation and me again thinking with a whole picture has got me onboard.

I would have loved to hear him say directly to them that he knows about their game. I get it u had to balance that scene out as it was already given at the start and if u had put any other sentences in his mouth we would have known the story at the start itself. You cleverly added his thoughts now(without any dialogues) to show us where he stands with regards to Lavanya and i am ok with it. That was a fine balance u had to do and its bound to ruffle some feathers

I am just waiting with bated breath for the next revelation. root Cause for Arnav's Phobia of having kids. Plus would love to see the retaliation when Arnav understands the complete game of MaLa

I am dreading the confrontation of arnav and khushi. I think that would be one of the most emotionally draining chapters too like this one

exactly my point. No one gets to be the moral police and say stuff like ‘are you kidding me?’ Or ‘are you serious’ first when all people were doing is writing their POV over a fictional story✌🏻🙃

But you get to say others have double standards in BOLD (name calling in real world) just because they disagreed with you and then lecture others about the same name calling and decide what others should write on someone else's story, this really does call for are you kidding me?, seriously? Are you not having double standards here too? 😂 😂

Arpita, next chapter please. I am done here... I promise you.

Ashvini, your last paragraph is BANG ON.

He has been drowning in so much guilt that fighting for himself is not a cause he wants to spend any more time on. The moment Khushi gets involved though, we get to see the true ASR. The one with the background music and all! :D

absolutely not. I never said you are the only one who said it. I said this is your go to response to anyone who has a different POV. you took the tone first and I retaliated. Mine was deliberate.

Because when people are writing a diff POV on a fictional story and are suddenly hit with ‘are you kidding me?’, I’m sorry but that’s a really aggressive way of questioning someone.

In my first comment to you, I started with apologising since my language may come off as strong and it didn’t have any element of name calling to you or anyone for that matter. I apologised for the tone again in the last pov comment but I was writing to you exactly how you questioned me; first.

Rest assured. I’m done here too. As I said, nothing personal 👍🏻🙂

Tashi, I believe he told her he could NOT be friends.

“We can be friends, right? We are friends!” You’re the only one apart from Manali who knows Arnav” Lavanya said and Arnav felt a little guilty but he had to keep his stance here clear.

“I don’t think so Lavanya. It’s all just duty to me” Arnav said and then added “I think I will have to stop talking to you for some time because you’re misreading my actions. Take some alone time and think what you’re doing.”

As for your theory on LA is the culprit, I tend to agree. That is the most probable culprit for me to. I do not think Manali knows about the photos, but La does not care about anything (not even her movie premiere), she wants to expedite the divorce (or make sure it 100% goes through) because she has seen how he looks at Khushi (in Akash's first movie's party)

Yes, we treat mental health as nothing. I read someone even written they had so many servants who could take care of, he should have given khushi a baby(Seriously I am not joking, it was repeated in one of the replies of my comments as well )!!! Same ppl got angry because Arnav didn’t want to get involved with lavanya’s baby.
He has deep insecurities and severe mental issues. A man who broke his back and took responsibilities of his family from tender age was tagged irresponsible and abandoned by the same family. Only one who accepted him fully, wanted something he couldn’t give (again he is berated because he wasn’t physically unable) , he even tried fought with his demons for four months not a short time!!! He saw her dimming in front of his eyes when he couldn’t carry on, he is blamed for non communication but what stopped khushi to tell him ( I will wait for Arpita to tell in her own beautiful way ) , he decided to let her go for her sake. It’s not irrational thought, when you love someone you don’t tie them you let them go so they could have what you can’t give. He was going through mental breakdown because letting her go would have killed him , then the whole curveball hit him. He had to let his anchor go, so he started slipping unfortunately khushi being anchored to him slipped with him!!! But no he should have anticipated being conned in personal life so bad. He should know ppl will try hurting him and khushi. Anyway enough!!

It was about what was Arnav thinking when he thought Khushi and he could be Friends specially as at that point he was not aware the pregnancy was fake and he believed he was a willing partner in the cheating?
