- He loves the fact that she dedicated an entire dance to him..He loves that should she win, he would have played an integral part in her victory..š³
- He loves the fact that she knows so much about him- his odd quirks,his workaholic nature, all of which point towards how into him she is, how she always has eyes only for him..ā¤ļø
- Out of the whole "Didi Tere Jeth Jee Deewane" song he picks out the following lyrics:
"Laptop se inki tum kardo sagai, office ke yeh tab banjaye jamai
Aant ho peher dil pe hai taale"
He doesn't fret over the bits of the song where she poked fun at the way he eats, or the raining "What The.." or his anger or his inability to smile..He picks up the lines where she hints at his lack of emotions..He doesn't like it that she thinks his highest priority is his work, he doesn't like it when she thinks his heart is locked with the keys thrown away..Although, it is ironic because he himself wants everyone else to think exactly that way..But not her, she is different, what she thinks means a hell lot to him..Albeit, on a subconscious level, but he wants her to look at him in a different light, he wants her to not think of him as an emotionally aloof person, he wants her to be one with the key to his locked heart..If this is not love, then what is?
- Look at the very first reaction when he sees her in tears...His heart beats his brain at it and his entire persona changes, gone is the rough and tough attitude, he instantly mellows down, his voice the softest of whispers and he utters an ever so soft,laced with concern "Khushi"..Then the shrewd, calculative part of him takes over and he brushes off her tears as yet another ploy to get something she wants..But look at how quickly he realizes his mistake and switches back to the caring Arnav from the calculative ASR..His love for her has changed him and changed him how..He realizes quickly that this time her tears are for real and tried to comfort her again and again despite her brushing him off..The old ASR would have thrown a fit when a chit of a girl shooed away his attempts to console her..But this is a changed man, he doesn't blow his lid off, instead he lets her be and lets out an anguished "Damn it"..š
- He loves her because he is about to throw the whole competition and thereby his ego, the never-to-accept-defeat spirit of his, just because he cannot bear to see her all helpless and forlorn on that stage..He is going to forget all about their little bet, all about his numerous exclamations about how he never loses, how he writes his own fate and how defeat doesn't exist in his dictionary..All that mattered to him was she needed his help, she needed him to step in and save herself the humiliation and he would do so unflinchingly (Providing the ArHi fanatics around the world with an intense, passionate, hawt, sensual, seductive dance while doing sošš)..The same man who never failed to humiliate her publicly is going to throw away a competition to save herself from the very same..š³
