Arjun Kirloskar, the young achieving go getter businessman, seemingly a very unlively character of mid twenties. the most misunderstood and misread figure of an expressionless and much plain workaholic will always be under the microscope. Arjun, initially portrayed as the mean, rude, arrogant, cold and selfish boy is indeed a veiled face of a very sensitive, insecure and selfless "child" Arjun has picked up the skill of resolution and hardwork from his successful father but he has not learned to make an expression of sentiments, the delicacy of his late mother. Arjun holds a strong sense of sacrifice, considerations and regards as per his selfless decision of getting allied to Ovi. agreed that it is controversial but give it a thought, what compelled him to say yes after his blunt rejection? the valued boy living in him who didnt wish to see a girl hurt because of his refusal, the son who didn't wish his father's friendship to suffer. he was jealous? absolutely not. he was worried! ...

o Arjun is an extraordinary boy, brilliant at what he does, terrefic command over his work, his introduction made it clear that he is a quick running business machine, his confidence in his ability is termed as arrogance, ego and wit! a sting to Purvi, another ego maniac and a hard working girl. their arguments and fights are pretty much on note as both have one probldm "extreme self belief" but that would bring them closer because when you salt tea and sweeten it with diebetic powder, it feels like honey. Purvi's first face off to a "lifesick" and Arjun's first meeting with "true living" a relationship-unique in kind!

Arjun Kirloskar is learning to live again, smile, laugh and cheer. he is redefining colors and happiness, what he lost years ago, he is getting it back from a girl who is learning to deal with a different class of personalities. Arjun is changing? no he is learning what he has forgotten, learning again. Arjun Kirloskar is a man of his word, resolute and dedicated but in his veracity, he is insecure, tender and a craving heart. Arjun not only falls in love but makes it very clear that he only wants his love to smile, may his going away be the reason. Arjun might not be the most truthful person but he was always true to his feelings and that makes him audacious enough to spend a raining night in a chawl. he does take the word of love and cherishes it as the greatest pleasure, vehemently, emphatically and truly in love. with Purvi's initial statement of rejection and discontent after mms scene, Arjun makes it understood that he is heavenly in patience and firmness...

Now the point, Arjun is a liar, he is a playboy, a cheat, a richling. he messes with two sisters. the gentlemen turns it down, +he moment he realizes he is in love, before making the confession to the girl, he goes back and phones ovi who is of no concern when it comes to her "darling's" life and feelings. Arjun did not tell Purvi? did you think again before talking? may be not. lets talk! Arjun is a kind of boy who would not let anything go wrong with anyone, AK or Arjun is immaterial, he was and is selfless but he was and is insecure. he is not the one to go headlines in morning announcements. when the relationship came to that point where Arjun would take Purvi and make her understand him, boom! the alarm rings with Ovi in India and the ring exchange drama. i dont call it an engagement because only Ovi wore the ring, Arjun had it slipped down by force. Arjun, again misunderstood and to your soothe, slapped! whatever arguments come to support Purvi, i find Arjun much deserving of atleast two more slaps...

Slaps but prior to a just oppurtunity for him to feel the warm redness of his skin. Arjun, the stoically patient negotiator with an exceptional convincing ability tries and fails but he doesnot bow down. He makes a blunt confession to his father after keeping quiet in respect of values, considerations and love. he is rebuked but then logic forces a hearty acceptance. when circumstances delay the ring slip off, Arjun snivels of pain and anguish given to him by the goddess he is madly in love with and how unfortunate is he, his childhood lover is blind. leaving it behind, after whimpering in silent tears, Arjun again stands up for dignity of love and boldly and proudly speaks of his unconditional love, again and again and again and then, again! Arjun is stout and steadfast in his claims, he throws no words but paints the picture with the colors that are thick and pure as his blood. he openly throws away the italian silk and puts on the rubber slipper. he smacks the shares to obsession in courtesy and ...

and tramples the prejudices of a clay feet saint! he not only makes a point that Arjun is the name of purity and absolution but from time to time he tries to hammer the pinkglass coffin of the much dellusional Ovi. he fails in doing so but he sweats first and bleeds next in the venture of love test. he scores an A star grading and runs through the bushes of love animosity, drenched in blood and mud of sacrifice and devotion. the time comes when he gets what he craved for but to what is unconditional love and divine warmth, Arjun is swamped in betrayal and tied in a black string of crushing ache. but through all this, Arjun Kirloskar has risen as the brave protagonist of true love, the saint of courtesy and stoic patience, the soldier of hardships, the gem of concieved, the angel of life and the Prince of heavens.

ARJUN KIRLOSKAR is a character of true depth. love is no game, life is no deal. he knows what it means to be in love, he realizes who is it to be a son. what is his is his.


Yes,thats the ARJUN KIRLOSKAR,I knew and fell in love with...

But thank u,the brilliant CVs for butchering him beyond recognition...

See , this is my take on Arjun . I had given some of it in a post that said he was sidelined . I had agreed . But i will give it in more detail here as this thread is running well .

Arjun Kirloskar is the most flawed , credible and human character created in PR . He relates to even viewers who don't agree with his actions bcoz he is real . His weakness
[ love for Purvi] is real ...there r men like that who r besotted by their lovers and do even murder for them or if told by them .

Arjun also did a murder when told by his lover . He murdered his own happiness .

When he was introduced , he was the perfect businessman . Brusque , professional ...with office decorum followed to the hilt . He was called inhuman for that but i never saw him that way.Thats the way it should be . In the ARVI pair , i always found him the one with office etiquette . Never saw arrogance in him as often accused by Purvi ...it puzzled me . I only found a confusion in him in trying to understand the business psyche of a third world country.
I found her to be super arrogant , judgemental , lacking office etiquette and behaving like a fishwife by making public issues in front of the employees , near the gate , by threatening to sue him and inciting the office employees against him .

He was judged for his wealth and his Canadian upbringing . He was shown to lose each ARVI fight and 'learn' from Purvi . That the chote log lifestyle is the best , that India had the best sanskaars . I always felt that it was exactly the opposite . That it was she who could learn from him ...for he had a much much wider exposure than her . He had seen the cultures of many countries and he dealt with people having different lifestyles . If her exposure was limited , his was wider and she could have learnt a thing or two from him . Indian bosses r far too impatient too and clearly tell their employees that their personal problems should be kept aside and work should be done efficiently . This , inspite of living in India . They r very clear that they r running a business not a social service camp . Purvi's demands were atrocious and would have never been entertained by any Indian boss who would have told her to take a hike . Where his Canadian upbringing and the subsequent inhumanity came in the picture was a puzzle to me .

The serial has hyped on Purvi's love for her mother Archana . But i found Arjun's love for his dead mother Ashna more touching . Clearly , she was a part of the way his psyche developed. He was emotional about his mother and he gave hundred percent to a woman when he fell in love bcoz he clearly felt that woman would step in her void and make him immensely happy again by always being there for him . He was innocent that way . He really believed that .

But if his mother would have prioritized him and made him very happy , the girl he loved and expected her to love back like her deprirotized him and made him very unhappy . She did not love him uncondtionally like his mother but put conditions and conditions in front of him. She did not love him like his mother but loved her mother only . He had asked her in an emotional moment that she would never ever leave him like his mom . He got a very practical lesson ...lovers don't necessarily love unconditionally like moms .

In the ARVI pair , he really and truly ' loved' . Ever since he met Purvi , life was one big test for him comprised of many many small tests and he gave each of them without blinking . Right from staying in a chawl to listening to her atrocious suggestions of marrying Ovi ...he listened to everything . She was his priority ...but for her , Archana was the priority .

I have always maintained that Purvi doesn't know the L of love .

Arjun gave his hundred percent when he fell for a girl bcoz

He was untouched by the feminine psyche as he had paid no attention to them . He was always heavily immersed in work . He did not sleep around nor did he have girlfriends . Just as he was shown to be mystified by the joy of new fatherhood when he felt the baby's first kick or upon seeing it for the first time , he was mystified by the joy or euphoria of meeting the love of his life and decided then and there to give his commitment his hundred percent .

He also gave his hundred % bcoz he missed his mother and innocently thought that the girl who came in his life would love him back uncondtionally like her .

The girl , however , witheld . She did not love him back hundred % but rather carefully.

Where he went wrong

In listening to everything whatever Purvi said .

He should have refused to marry Ovi . He should have told Purvi , fine u don't marry me if u wish , but I won't marry Ovi especially after being intimate with u .

He should not have given Archana's test . He should have told her clearly i am sorry , i won't disown my father or my upbringing even for a month as he has brought me up with the same love u have brought up your daughter after my mother's death . Being rich is not a crime . Accept me as i am coz i love ur daughter as she is .

He should have been shown worrying about his childhood friend after the break up coz he had spent his childhood with her . He was not shown giving her any thought but just as a lover .

In not truly working on his marraige once he made the commitment . He thought that giving a wife food , shelter and clothing is doing his 'farz' and there is a dialogue to this effect . No ...the wife did not lack this in her father's house . He kept her unhappy even when she was pregnant .


Not basically a liar and has courage

Arjun is not a pathological liar like Purvi . He became the bad guy and took a lot of flak from the Deshmukh family by honestly breaking off with Ovi . This action can be crtiqued but it takes a lot of courage too . He told honestly in a public party that he still loved his ex . He could not hide his feelings and even daydreamed in the bedroom till his wife noticed . Arjun cannot pretend as he is basically truthful and lies only when coached by Purvi which i find shameful . His character must be evolved not destroyed .

What he needs

Growing up , power packed dialogues and a POV of his own .

Power packed dialogues r just not given to him . I have already said that an angry Arjun can pull in the TRPs . When Purvi traded him in the infamous deal they could have shown him saying

Both of u made a deal but the difference was she wanted me in the deal while u gave me up .

I wanted him to learn about the pregnancy and fight a custody battle and win by proving in court that Purvi lied and that he could give more to the child and that he was not at all unwilling to take responsibilty of the child .

But CVS took another route . The custody case can still happen , i want this tyaag to bombard on Purvi's face .

It should be shown that after giving up the child , Purvi regrets her decision and plays the mamta card and says i cannot live without her and i want her back . Onir then tells all that is indeed Purvi's child .

Well this is where the unpredictable should happen . Arjun should refuse to give his daughter back . Uptill now he has not refused Purvi any thing but he should refuse this demand and tell her to fight it out in court .

I listened to everything u said but she is not just ur daughter she is my daughter too . I lost my other child in the accident , not this one .

You should have thought before giving her up , where was your mamta then

You were going to keep her from me if my other baby had survived ...i would have never known my blood had arrived in this world

With all due respect , u gave up ur own kids ...so why cannot ur daughter do the same
[ this to Archana ]

I am going to fight for my kid unlike u who just gave them up without a fight as my thoughts r different .[ this to Archana when she pleads on Purvi's behalf .]

RD needs power packed dialogues like this . Right now the CVs have given him only 2 dialogues ...Relax and Sit Sit Sit . And weep weep weep .

His love for his blood must outweigh his love for his ex . He has capability of loving 100 %
well the same crazy , passionate love he had for Purvi should be there for his daughter and that should be something Purvi had not bargained for .

Why r CVs so afraid of showing that a man can love his blood as passionately as he loved his ex once . Why this hesitation .

Viewers will relate to any filial passion track .

If this is done Arjun will become popular once more . Instead of weeping , he should be shown growing up and loving his daughter and as a dad . If this angle is focussed on , his past mistakes will be forgiven .

Brilliant post Boni !!👏 You have described AK perferctly to a 'T'!!
Yes- the CVs have butchered our beloved khadoos yet gentle AK BUT I still have hopes that he'll receive true justice for all the sacrifices he has made in PR, that he'll reunite with his true love Purvi AND most of all, that the true gem of a person- the strong, confident, go-getter, khadoos AK will be soon resurrected!!

Boni🤗A very well written post regarding what actually Arjun was and what he has become. And you have accomplished it!
I dont know why everyone is so deliberant about Arjun being the root for all the mess, when clearly he is not. It makes me to have a doubt on whether people have watched the past episodes explicitly, assumed wrong, or trying to put someone up by letting Arjun down? Whatever the reason may me, to me i have neverthought Arjun wrong , except the fact that he became the prey bewteen Purvi and Ovi on his wedding night. Sadly, that day became a huge downfall for him and for his life (Ekta has ruined his character, by showing the opposite of real Arjun Kerlosker). The decision he made that night was only the sake of his love's happiness which turned out to be disastrous one. He was heartbroken, but nobody saw that, instead he was blamed for everything. That didnt make any sense?
Furthermore, i am surprised to see many post still stating wrong about him. Calling him, exlover, lusty, crazy driver, etc. Its now known why everyone calls him that way without any solid reason. I can only see one person behind these facts and that is none other than Onir. No body sees his faults, his actions against his profession, his cleverness of swapping babies? lies after lies. And what i found later is that people defend his actions by stating that his wife sweet, trap talks made him to do that way. I mean is he that weak that he can beswayed by anyone who emotionally balckmaileshim? He is nice, no doubt. But to make this as to support him is too clumsy in my opinion.
But coming back to Arjun, i feel Ekta should make him the real Arjun Kerlosker again, who was brave enough to handle any worse fate that would come close to him or his life. I dont want to see his character die even further. Hopefully with Ekta, people who have considered him worng may think twice before judging him in the future.



Arjun Kerlosker will always going to be a precious character in PR! Oh I wish to see him back again!!! Missing him to the core!

Thanks for this thread Boni and thanks to Zoya for the lovely write up!! My thoughts may seem a bit disjointed, but had to post for Arjun before I sleep :)

Loved this --

brave protagonist of true love - as seen in front of D-family, Archana, Purvi

the saint of courtesy and stoic patience - oh God, the days when Ovi wasn't difficult, but plain annoying with her accusations, drinking, tantrums and what not. How on earth did Arjun maintain his sanity??

the soldier of hardships - the toil never ends for those who work hard it seems...

Arjun Kirloskar started off as the shrewd businessman - he solved business problems, restructured recently merged companies. He may have offended some people with his candour but he was always upfront.

Faultless in love - once he was in love, he stood up and stood by Purvi. His father may have made him delay calling off the engagement but Arjun was not one to shy away from his feelings. He openly professed them to D-family, to Archana, to everyone at the anniversary party.

It's odd to see him being called irresponsible - please don't forget what he did to find Onir in Kolkata, all for Ovi and her child.

I remember the office scene pre-leap, when he said it was difficult for him to move on so easily, Purvi said he can do what he really feels like. Arjun said if I do what I really feel like doing, your whole family may be destroyed, would you like that? He had a sense of responsibility towards the Deshmukh family, towards his married status, despite all allegations thrown at him otherwise.

Some of the other sickening names I see flying about - it seems like Arjun is the worst character in fiction show, leave aside PR! Not for me, I don't like how he has been sidelined in the show right now.

Hate CVs for making him their favorite whipping boy! Why do you dislike him so much CVs? Why give your second lead such a horrible turnaround?

I want him to be khadoos again, bring back the no-nonsense go-getter once more.

I feel for u dear . I feel for all the Arjun fans out there ...he has been butchered beyond repair to elevate female lead Purvi . He literally has a cameo role now and only weepy minutes . Nothing substantial and i think its a shame for even when he was introduced , i never found him arrogant or ill mannered at all but well mannered and a professional . It was Purvi who was ill mannered and super arrogant and had no office etiquette whatsoever . In one scene he even told her lets go and discuss this in my cabin please ...each time she made issues in front of the employees , near the gate etc . He was the one with office decorum . Yet he was shown losing each time in ARVI fights and 'learning ' from Purvi . And so it has continued to date .

👏 Beautifully written! a poem in praise of the Arjun he used to be! A fitting encomium or shall we call it an epitaph as the CVs have rendered the original AK beyond recognition?

Only one point of dissension, Purvi giving him the cold shoulder after he publicly got engaged to Ovi was totally justified as no girl worth her salt should be expected to play second fiddle to a man's betrothed whether willingly entered upon or forced into the commitment.
