Well, I don't think to make Shyam Anjali's hubby was an afterthought so as to get rid of him so that Arnav- Khushi love story can happen. No I don't think so. Remember, the original plot was that of "Di ki Saut" so the entire story was about Di and her hubby and how this girl unknowingly became Di's saut and was subjected to brother (ASR)'s anger. So, Di's hubby was bound to be a villain from the start.
Even the makers never portrayed Shyam as a stright forward guy innocently in love with Khushi. He was always shown to be hiding something or the other. The scene where he enters buaji's house first time, where he stealthily looks through the slit between the doors was a testament to his cunning character.
Thanks for the input.
