Just a different viewpoint...
We all wanted Arnav to believe Khushi (including me) despite the fact that he saw her in Shyam's "embrace", he heard her say "leave Anjali" and when he confronted Shyam, was told that he and Khushi indeed loved each other, and the only person in their way was Anjali. But we said if his love was really pure, if he really felt for her, he would believe her, and he did. Everything he took on face value alone, with no proof to substantiate any of her claims that Shyam was involved. We cheered that this was true love. Yes, it was true love and love is blind.
Anjali did the same. Nothing was proved against Shyam. He handled every accusation with confidence and without showing any guilt, and to any bystander he could be easily seen as innocent. Arnav threw him out of the house, because he "believed Khushi", he did not offer his side to anyone else, other than to Nani. He did not tell his sister that he had confronted Shyam himself. Anjali kept quiet because it was Arnav who made this decision, someone she loves more as her son than a brother. She was angry with Khushi at first, and why wouldn't she be. On her word alone, her husband was kicked out, her life was in shambles, and her brother was away from her. She felt insecure and directed her resentment towards Khushi, which anyone in her situation, would have done. But, when Arnav explained to her the importance of Khushi to him, she realized that her brother was in love much the same way she was with Shyam. She was genuinely happy for him, happy that he had found his soul mate at last, happy that he was in love, that he would get all the happiness that she knows he deserved. She then told Khushi she wanted to forget everything that happened and start fresh. She did this for Arnav alone.
When Khushi cried and asked Arnav to believe her, we cried with her. We wanted him to believe her when none of the odds were in her favor. So when Shyam did exactly the same to Anjali, why did we expect her to react any different? She had a handicap, but he never made her feel she was any less in his eyes. He always treated her with utmost care, helped her, understood her, made her feel beautiful, stood by her. Isn't that what we expect from all our partners? We want them to believe us no matter what, and Anjali did the same.Yes love is blind.
I am happy that Arnav found Khushi, that he is questioning his jaded, cynical view of love. But I am sad for Anjali, because she was the real romantic, believing in a pure form of love, believing that feelings were enough, that everyone loved without malice, without hate, even when she suffered at the hands of her own, be it losing their parents, being kicked out their house, or now in a troubled marriage. She still seeks the good in people, much like Khushi does, and she still believes that love conquers all. Yes, I feel bad for her because she has to deal with the loss of the baby she was looking forward to, and now her own guilt, her helplessness will eat at her. But more so I feel for her thinking about the day when she will find out Shyam's true colors and that he was responsible for the loss of her child.
Yes love is blind, but at the end of the day Arnav and Khushi will have each other, while Anjali will realize first hand that true love, along with being blind can also be a tragedy.
