I must confess I am continuously puzzled by Indian soaps and meddlesome family drama. When I think of Khushi I think of a theory called the Pygmalion effect! In brief it refers to expectations in that you get what you expect! An extensive Harvard study has proven this theory to be accurate and basically you expect nothing then you get nothing!
I agree that Arnav is a flawed character, so is Khushi. Enough has been said about ASR/Arnav but Khushi always seem to put herself last! Why keep such a BIG truth away from a family you are going to join? The truth is the Guptas wanted Payal to get married first and foremost all else was secondary!
This is the result!
Husband and wives quarrel! What was wrong in Khushi responding there and then to the effect .. Then if you never met me would you know what it is to love? Are you sure that Shyam would not have done the same .. Basically go to hell!
I cannot and will never take sides in this debate because you are dealing with two flawed character who need to go to therapy to learn how to trust and not be doormats! Yes, Arnav is a doormat for his family more specifically that childish sister! Is she an adult or what? Come on your husband is a liar, cheater, kidnapper who is ready to murder and you have doubts!! Wait until the full truth comes out with the other women and Shashi! This is not sibling love it is control and selfishness!
So where as I agree with Tia's comments I have to also state that I simply cannot understand all the family drama because in my family we would be grateful to flush out the criminal within our midst! I was brought up to believe in doing the honorable thing and that is in bringing a criminal to justice! But this after all is a soap for an audience, based on TRPs, who enjoys this type of drama!
I love this show only for the characters of Arnav and Khushi and I try desperately to control the fast forward button on the tv when there are not in the shots!
Sorry but this is just my opinion!
