"Chupana Bhi Nahin Aata...Jatana Bhi Nahin Aata...
Hume Tumse Mohobaat Hain... Batana Bhi Nahin Aata"
I think these lines sum up the mental state of ASR after hearing about Khushi's engagement! He is devastated! Even more than we had actually imagined him to be! THIS is what we all wanted! We wanted him to get a "Jhor Kha Jatka"!.
So we have got our wish! He has got a 1000 watt current through his system after hearing his lady love is no longer a "free agent"! (Does he DESERVE this?)' HELL YEAH! He SO does! But does that stop us from feeling sorry for him nonetheless? NO.
This is the nature of our tragic hero ASR...Even when we want to hate his guts, part of us still can't help empathizing with him! This is mostly due to the brilliant execution of the character of ASR by my current favourite Actor, the incomparable King of emoting... Mr. Barun Sobati! I Heart you Barun! ❤️
Kudos also go to the writers and directors for making this character so 3 dimensional that we can UNDERSTAND him even when we don't like what he does!
Did his wrong decision result in his current predicament? Yes it did. Is he doing anything to correct it? NO. As we have heard... he will only make things worse by saying he will now get engaged to Lavanya! Tit for tat! If SHE can get engaged, so can I! 100% childish and petulant response! But we know this is his M.O? So why be surprised?? I KNEW this was what he was going to do!
However...let's step back and think from his POV... the guy has NEVER been in love. He doesn't know what hit him! My guess is he did not have the time or luxury of being a teenage boy having crushes on girls and then collage boy being the chocolate hero etc. He was too busy from his teens to twenties building an empire and taking on the responsibility of being there for his disabled sister! So lets cut him some slack!
He has not got the "Emmotional Maturity" to know how to handle himself at this point! He feels REJECTED by Khushi! I know HE did the rejecting first, but he STILL can't handle this rejection from HER! Remember after he announced he will marry La and Khushi pretended to be happy? He was gutted! He tried to make her admit that she was NOT happy, but she stayed in character! So he turned around and rejected her, by saying she meant nothing to him!
Once again...in his mind SHE has rejected HIM, by getting engaged. NOT telling him about it, and then ASKING him why it MATTERED to him? He is SO hurt and devastated he reverts to type by lashing out and trying to hurt her by saying he will ALSO get engaged now! Also he must have thought what is the point of saying No now? What is he waiting for? SHE has already decided she doesn't want HIM right?
Now only Devine intervention and Snake's antics can bring these two together... as they are miserably failing to do a good job of it themselves!
