Please don't bash me, just want to clarify the whole redemption saga.
Persons are still looking for redemption from Arnav, but, his redemption started when he got kidnapped. Remember when he left to go overseas, Khushi came to the airport to prove her innocence though Arnav wanted to believe he still didn't trust her, it was not developed within him yet.
While he was kidnapped he even remembered how he treated her that day and there was sorrow and regret etched in his face. Also, when he saw how she risked her life to save him he started to trust her and we all know the events that took place in the development of the trust phase. This was his Redemption.
When the Sham truth came out, it's not that he didn't want to be at Khushi's side but he had to support his sister; remember, we don't know what they discussed outside before Khushi entered the RM mansion alone maybe they planned it. Also, this was Redemption. Even though Sham tried to degrade her, Arnav could have insulted Khushi in front of everyone but he didn't again trust established.
Yes, we were all upset when he blasted her and said that he wished she never came into his life, but he was helpless his sister rejected him and he felt bad about it so his reaction was normal. However, he realized what he said was wrong and he returned to her only to see her packing her bags. The only thing he knew to do was to bring up the contract he understood her importance in his life. Remember how he reacted when he realized or thought Khushi left because of the contract. He did everything to win her back, he understood that without her, he is nothing. O.k. put it this way the mere thought of her not by his side was like death to him, remember what he told his sister, 'if i lose her i will die' ( i'm just paraphrasing). Though we may not have agreed how he wooed her back he did it in the style that he knows, the ASR way; besides he was desperate, he couldn't lose his love, he couldn't lose his happiness (Khushi). That too was Redemption.
Finally, after the Rakhi celebration Arnav bought her gifts she opened them in order the final one was the pearl necklace. He returned her dignity, the dignity that he stripped from her on their first meeting and continued to give her hell throughout. He apologized for taking her dignity away from her though it was not said in direct words but said through his eyes, remember they are telepathic so we the viewers have to read between the lines. As a matter of fact with this show you have no choice but to read between the lines. He strung the pearls together, he handed Khushi her dignity. Redemption completed.
The other redemption will be for Dadi, whatever decisions she made in the past affected the Raizadas', Guptas', Malicks' and Jhas'. The past must be cleared for the future to be bright.
Comment if you like but please don't bash, this is just my understanding of the Arnav Redemption Track.
