It would really be nice to see the man smart for a change. Why should the heroine discover all the forbidden secrets? If Khushi is going to discover, I can see where the story is going.
The poor bechari, the mahan mamta ki murat, the champion of truth even in the face of adversity who will face all the unpleasantness thrown at her to save the rest of the world. How cliched is that!
Going by the character sketch, Khushi would never be the one to suspect anybody, leave alone Shyam. This viper really needs some hot and sound dealing from someone like ASR.
Even if Khushi sees Shyam with Anjali or the Raizadas, he is going to tell that he is their lawyer or something else. That much would be enough explanation for Khushi or Anji whose basic instinct is to believe people at their face value.
Arnav has become the ASR he is today dealing with people like Shyam. He knows about the wickedness in the world. Khushi's sheltered existence will never give her the edge in a fight with Shyam unless she has ASR to support her which will not be possible if she finds out the truth first.
ASR at present believes his jijaji. But you never know whether he has been secretly suspecting him since a long time. All he would need to do is engage a private detective to arrive at the full truth.
Some people in the forum were telling that he listens to his jijaji even when he refuses to listen to Anji. Doing something which the person wishes, and actually believing the person are two different things.
In this case, I believe that Arnav wants to believe his jijaji, whether he actually does is not clear from his words or actions. His wish is just a way of keeping things uncomplicated and less muddled.
As a rule, Arnav might be angry with Khushi, he might taunt her, but when it comes to believing her, I think he will do it instinctively without waiting for reasons. I think that this situation, much as we deplore and condemn it, would give us more insight into Arnav's way of judging people and their actions
