NOTE: This post is not for moral policing but just for stating views about some questions raised on Arnav-Anjali relationship.
Some relations in life hold special place in our heart as they define our very existence. There are always some people for whom you live your life and who live theirs for you. It can be your parents or it can be your siblings who have cared for you like your parents.

Anjali-Arnav -Sibling Bond

We all know their story and this thread is not to tell you what you all know. This is merely an attempt to understand why some of you feel that this relation is described in way that confuses people mind. Anjali is seen as "Selfish", "Clingy" and "Jealous" sister and arnav is seen as overprotective brother who at times forget his wife for his sister. Is that true?

- Is expecting your brother around you when you are in worst situation of your life a selfish act?

- Is expressing your hurt at seeing your brother in celebration mood when your world has been torned apart a Jealousy act?

- Is expecting your only real family to be by your side when you experience little joy of seeing your unborn child questionable?

Other common points raised often:


Anjali - 'her brother's weakness than strength

* contributed by payasa*
The difference in treatment given by family to Arnav has made 'Anjali' the only mother figure in his life...! So she has been his mother, while he becomes her baby.. In their 'closd shell'. Dats in d emotional front.

Bt, when dat shell is shaken, Arnav becomes the 'father figure' with Anjali being the little daughter. 'light moments' like 'toffee bhi chahiye'...by Anjali on 'd terrace hug day', and the recent 'tum hamesha sab teek karthe ho naa'... All shows how much they mean to each other... If there was no Anjali, there would hav been no Arnav too. Its not a question of 'weakness or strength'...bt its called 'accepting each other, the way they are'.
Loved ones are always the weakness and the strength of each other..

Anjali- Term used 'dependant or clingy nature

*Added by madhu(mpk2011)*

Now coming to the emotional dependence part. The past has not yet been shown but the fbs suggest that it was traumatic. It was traumatic enough to change Arnav to ASR, to make a kid brother grow up overnite and take charge of the lives of his and his elder sister. So it is expected that they are emotionally dependent on each other very strongly. Being orphan is one thing but witnessing ur parents being murdered or committing suicide in front of ur eyes is a different thing. One can't forget it ever coz it scars the soul and the psyche !!

The dependence was not only from Anjali's side, it was from Arnav's side as well. Both of them together had made a world for their survival where Anjali was the emotional aspect and ASR the practical aspect. Without Anjali there wouldn't have been an ASR, Arnav would have been another name in the list of orphans who got lost in the crowd of the world. It is her presence which kept him going.

Even the toughest man/woman does have somebody in their lives in front whom they can be themselves, on whom they r emotionally dependent !!!!

Her initial reaction to Shyam Fiasco was also questioned by many-

1. Why didn't she believe in khushi?

2. Why didn't she believe in Arnav?

3. Cant she see shyam's real side- delusional person?

4. Was she happy for ASR being in love only when shyam was there?

We have tried to answer some of them below:

For first 2 questions raised, let me ask everyone

- Did she ever question khushi again on it or arnav again on it.

- She also said that arnav cant be wrong either to her nani- So she did believe what he said and did was right for her.

Shyam was shown from the start that he was nice to her always and provided her with what she always wanted ..and when all of sudden you are out of that important relation in your life. You get a huge setback.

*contributed by mpk2011(madhu)*

For Ques 4- She was, is and will always be happy for ASR for whatever he does including falling in love! However, I can't expect her to be happy for Khushi. Even if we consider that some day Anjali will come to know about Shyam's true face and accept Khushi in their lives, still she can't love her or like to the extent she used to do.

Arnav -Overprotective or he loves his di more?

Do we compare love that we have for our parents with love that we have for our husbands. Then why this comparison whether arnav loves his di more or khushi more? He is overprotective -yes he is but thats because she is only real family he has .Before khushi came his di was only reason for his survival.When you have lost your near and dear ones in front of your eyes.People do get overprotective of the ones that are left with them.It is very common.

*contributed by madhu(mpk2011)*
From ASR's point of view, both of them r important in his life. So there is no comparison between them or in his love for them. Till date he is emotionally more dependent on Anjali than Khushi, it is in front of Anjali only that he can be Arnav alws, in front of Khushi it is not so till now. Obvious reason, he is bonded to Anjali more strongly, be it by birth, by their past, their pain, their trauma, it had alws been she who was with him surviving the odds of their lives!!!!

Special mention to cutebarun (jachu) too for her ideas on this post !!

This is open debate and we do not intend to impose our views on anyone.Please feel free to give your views without any character bashing or personal comment.

Thanks for making the post...

I share something that my Mom has always taught me...That a man/woman can love his/her spouse,children,siblings,parents and can give 100% to every single relationship...How can you compare a brother's love for his sister to a husband's love for his wife??!!Just because Arnav has Khushi now...does that mean he'll have to forget Anjali??!!A sister who has been a mother figure to him??A sister who's in a tremendous emotional quandary now!!A sister who's give birth to a baby soon...and he's the only father figure to the baby!!

People have a problem with the way Arnav expresses his love for the two most important women in his life...

Remember...with Khushi he's playful...he smirks,he smiles...he even laughs...He teases her..Caresses her like a child...Again teases her like a best-friend...She's his equal...He adores her..admires everything about her...From her sleeping postures to her crazy antics...nothing misses his ever watchful eyes...He NEEDS Khushi as much as she needs him...With Khushi he can be the young boy..that he missed out on his early years...

With Anjali...It's more like She needs him...She has been crippled forever to an extent by a broken marriage...An orphan and physically handicapped..she has always leaned on Arnav for support...She has always held a high pedestal in his life..More like a mother to him...And he has always felt the need to protect her...Remember...Arnav has given a high place to Anjali in his life...Higher than both Khushi and HIMSELF...He and Khushi are equals...whereas Anjali is that motherly Di...

YOU CAN ALWAYS QUESTION HOW HE EXPRESSES HIS LOVE FOR THE TWO WOMEN..BUT IT'S TOTALLY UNFAIR TO QUESTION THE LOVE ITSELF...

Riti dear, thats amazingly well said👍🏼

If there was no Anjali, there wont hav been Arnav...

Somwhere in their relationship, they hav been the reason for each other's existence...

Arnav's 'will to Live' has been to make Anjali happy..to bless her with all d joys n Smiles she deservs... In d past 27, years of his life, 'his very Life' is synonymos with Anjali.

Similarly, for Anjali it has been her 'chotte'... Not just the world for her, bt the one who built a new world for her...

Its d need to protect Anjali that made Arnav, 'ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA', that we knw. otherwise, if there was no Anjali, the day when he was thrown out of his home, He would hav just become a 'homeless Orphan' in India's never ending Streets...

The emotional dependence of Arnav on Anjali is bcoz of the 'emotional security' she provides for Arnav. Not even 'Nani' gave Arnav dat feeling, thats why When 'he is hurt' Arnav hides his Face in Anjali's lap... A place where he is accepted as a 'baby', where he isnt questioned... Where he can Rest as as 'Chotte, the insecure child' not as Nani's n others' 'answerable' Arnav...

Riti, Payasa and Madhu very well written, I have always supported Anjali-Arnav relationship, even Anjali's reaction to Shyam's revelation up until that thursday July 19th episode, but Friday July 20th when she walked in when Arnav was about to kiss Khushi and her reaction thought he lied to her to stay back and spend time with Khushi and towards the end her dialogue seemed out of place when she said how can you be happy when I am not, that day when Anu made a post I vented out but I also mentioned in my reply come Monday I want to see more of Arnav-Anjali talk and he should tell her why he married Khushi, that's exactly what happened on Monday July 23rd episode, they rectified it and I am glad Arnav and Anjali had a heart to hear talk and both of them understand each other so well. I am absolutely ok with them, I didn't mind when he went back to RM on this past Monday's episode to check on her.
I agree with most of what you all have written. Its ok to be a doting sister, also its ok to open your eyes and see people around you especially when most of them say that your husband is a scumbag, I know she loves him but it need not be so blind that his wrong are oblivious to her. Anyway I am hoping once Shyam is back that's what we are headed for Anjali's realization and how wrong she was in blindly believing him. I am hoping it will only strengthen Arnav-Anjali relationship with Khushi in the mix. Anyway would like to wish Happy Rakshabnadhan to Arnav and Anjali.

Love DB and Barun as bro-sis on screen.

Brilliantly well put .. RITTI


Last nite at Director's Cut ... the thread where i write my post .. we also initiated a similar discussion ..

We are with u in this thot . i have always maintained .. people are being judgemental about Anji .. coz they perceive her role to move in some way .. a lot of people .. have confused .. Daljeet & her perceived negotiations with the channel as manipulation .. & then correlated the same to Anji . here & called her manipulative ... ..

Hope more such posts are made .. helps . people to not prejudge .. If anjali is to turn negative in the serial .. thats when we shud label her as one ..NOT NOW .. she is so justified in all that she is doing & feeling ..

Kudos to you . darling .. wud love to indulge in a discussion on this , 😊
