I just lost my original post.. so this one may not turn out exactly like the one I had in mind. I had no intention to write but somehow the first scene of the show has stirred my thoughts and hence this post.
Yes Arohi is under duress to break Arjun's heart. Yes she is under duress from the blackmailer to marry KS. How she executed it was it is in her hands? The blackmailer probably told her what she has to do, how she did it I like to believe was in her hands. She called Arjun to meet him without giving him an inkling to what was in store let alone a reason. Raising the hopes of an innocent heart to dizzying heights. As they say higher you rise, greater is the fall and Arjun was no exception. She may have had a selfish motive to be with Arjun one last time alone before she ruins both their lives. She called him and then just gave him the wedding card offering no explanations. According to me Arjun's public humiliation at HP's was the final nail in the coffin.. what she did today was to bury the coffin in the grave. So you might say he would not have come had she told him she wanted to give him the card. You really think so? Nope.. I think he would have still shown up.. not for the card but for her. Her actions don't matter to him as much as she herself does. So he would have still come. She may never offer any explanation which is understandable with the circumstances, but if she had given him any idea what was in store for him, I cannot help but think if his grief would be any less than it was today?
I will just repeat what I said at the last Adda, if you love someone you never want them in pain and if you cannot avoid giving them pain dont make it a nagging chronic wound. A surgical cut will do the same job as sawing away. Needless to say a wound is a wound - always painful, but you have the power to control the pain you give.. especially when you dont have the power to control the pain someone perceives!
So as I struggle with what I think she did wrong, I also understand I am not in the same situation as her, so I cannot be judgmental about her actions. I have to reconcile with the fact that desperate times call for desperate measures and leave it at that. What measures you take is highly individualistic and there is no right or wrong. Each one needs to decide for themselves! But after this is all done, and time has passed I have no doubt Arohi's grief will be immense for her actions - her life has spiraled out of control - she was under duress, but I also wonder what kind of grief will she have thinking back about the manner of her execution?
