@Bold He never loved Arshi nor had a romantic relationship before. All he considered liking as a love bcz agr aisa hota to love kbhi bhi khatam nhi hota. Even in today's IV Aajana said k wo Arshi se friendship wala love krta hn bs or pyaar....you know..
Starting k PDA ek ya 2 jo thy wo bs like apny ko force krny k lye thy that he loved her because at the time he was not aware of what love actually is! And rest pda Jhanak ko jealous krny k lye bs...
With Jhanak, he got to know the real essence of love so Arshi ek dm sideline hgye. Even when he was drunk during holi, he asked choton me kis se pyaar krta hoon. Agar Arshi se zara se bhi to kbhi bhi wo confused nhi hota even Chandani and Bodo maa said in her ivs that he considered Arshi's friendship as love and sirf Jhanak k lye dil me love hn
I know makers n yaha sahi se story me show nhi kri hn. Aap agar last 3 episodes dekhy to usky facial expressions se clear hn that he's 99% faking to save Jhanak warna apni shaadi tak Arshi ko ek dafa bhi nhi dekha usney and was continuously staring Jhanak.
I believe as we grow up the definition of love also keeps changing as per our life experiences...and exposures..As our understanding goes...our definition keeps changing..
At that time according to his sckrewed understanding of love , he did love Arshi..She kind of ticked all his boxes...he convinced himself that he was in love...but true love is beyond all this
He had not experienced an all encompassing,all consuming love...
Now thing about life is, you don't know what you are missing until one day you are lucky enough to find that one thing. Same thing happened with him. He was comfortable with Arshi, as there was a convenience in relationship and of course he liked her very much, so all was good. It might have gone okay in future too, except few drama created by Shrishti...
Bam ..Jhanak happened...Ani who has spent most of his life being a loner, who is unable laugh freely and rarely confide into anyone, Jhanak came like a unpredictable breath of fresh air that threw him off his gaurds and made him realize that what was he missing all his life...
And he also has his own principal...his own values... that's why I believe he is stuck..
