Arnav's Shirt Colour "Spoiler" Code - Page 2

Guys... please tell me I'm not the only person who has noticed that the colour of Arnav's shirt seems to be a MASSIVE giveaway as to what's coming up in the plot? I don't know if you guys know the user on Youtube under the username ismailvegamze, but they very kindly and conveniently put up all the ArShi scenes. I've just gone through and rewatched them all and this is the hint system I've figured out.

I'd just like to clarify this only seems to work when he's dressed for work- not casually or even when he's wearing the shirt minus the waistcoat. He has to be in the shirt and a waistcoat and black/ charcoal grey trousers for the Arnav Singh Raizada Shirt Spoiler Colour Code to apply. :') Pretty specific, I know- but hey, we all love spoilers 😆

And this is going back to the very first episodes! Either the CVs are phenomenal and have planned this from the very beginning- in which case EVERYBODY SHUT THE ACTUAL F UP WITH ALL THE COMPLAINING as anybody who can plan to THIS level of detail needs to just be left free to do their thing, or it's some sort of incredible coincidence. Either way... it seems to work out and also explains several things like why Arnav sometimes seems to be wearing the same colour for AGES. 

OKAY SO, HERE GOES:

The BLACK Shirt

Whenever Arnav hurts Khushi in anger, he is wearing the black shirt. Whether it's the very first episode with the scenes backstage at the fashion show, the times in the office when he was just an Angry Young Man to her in general, the time just after he found out Khushi was engaged when he was trying to hurt her by making her jealous to force her to admit he mattered to her, or almost permanently post-wedding. He wore it ALL THE FREAKING TIME in the days/weeks immediately following the wedding. It's only recently, now that his guard around Khushi seems to be dropping, that he is alternating it with my personal favourite (not because it means anything particularly brilliant, but purely because Barun Sobti looks like an ADONIS in it...):

The WHITE Shirt

I think most of the forum love it when this one is cracked out for the same reason I stated above. Its significance in the Shirt Colour Code is the indication of a challenge of some sort between ArShi. The most obvious ones are the recent ones where they first shake on the Sangeet Ceremony, Khushi threatening to not return to Shantivan unless Arnav admits the truth and most recently, post Heer-Ranjha where Khushi has clearly decided she is going to make him admit that he was speaking as Arnav Singh Raizada and get him to finish his sentence. But there were also moments in the past where a gauntlet was thrown down between ArShi- like when he was wearing it the day he realised Khushi was an orphan... He yelled at her and told her to not even TRY and pretend she could sympathise with him and then she inadvertently proved him wrong because- well- she's an orphan. And obviously, everybody's favourite challenge... When he dared Khushi to kiss him... This is, in fact, the saving grace of the white shirt... it is almost always preceded by some pretty substantial ArShi romance. Onwards we go!

YES I KNOW I USED GREY FONT INSTEAD OF WHITE, CAN YOU SEE WHITE FONT ON A WHITE BACKGROUND? NO? NEITHER CAN I. 

The NAVY Shirt

Whenever Arnav wears the navy shirt- three things happen: 

1) A truth is revealed 

2) Khushi stands up to Arnav

3) Arnav counters by hurting Khushi in a way which ultimately brings them closer 

The first time the navy shirt made an appearance was when Arnav dropped Khushi from his office: 

1) Khushi realises ASR is Arnav Singh Raizada

2) She tells him she won't work for him and that she'd rather die than be saved by someone like him

3) He drops her from a first storey office and then forces her to sign a demoralising contract keeping her in the office

Again here: 

1) Arnav finds out Khushi is engaged

2) Khushi tells Arnav the reason she didn't tell him is because he means nothing to her

3) Arnav moves his engagement with Lavanya to a week and forces Khushi to organise the whole thing

1) Both Arnav and Khushi's engagements have been broken off

2) Khushi yells at Arnav for breaking his engagement with Lavanya and tells him he'll never know how much a girl's heart hurts when she finds out her fiance is scum.

3) At the Desi Girl party, Arnav is wearing navy again when he chastises Khushi for being so low that she doesn't even care her engagement broke...

1) Arnav realises he cares about Khushi when he thinks she's been in a road accident

2) Khushi asks Arnav why he cares

3) Arnav refuses to admit that he DOES care, yells at her in the car but... well, we all know the incredible scenes with bangles and Khushi falling sick that followed.

This next one's a little bit different in that he's actually wearing white when he discovers the truth but then appears to change INTO the navy shirt to prep for all the hurting.

1) Arnav finds out about Khushi and Shyam

2) He thinks Khushi is standing up and betraying him by being with Shyam

3) He goes sick and blackmails Khushi into a contract marriage and forces her to keep quiet about it to her entire family... 

I'm hoping it's next appearance will be

1) Khushi finds out why Arnav married her

2) Khushi goes sick at Arnav about not giving her the chance to defend herself

3) Arnav tells her because he was so blinded by love at the time he wouldn't trust himself to be able to see past her lies...

One can dream, right?

SPEAKING OF DREAMS- Although the meaning isn't that great, I really, really wish Arnav would have a chance to wear this next shirt more often and, if most of the FF writers on here got there way, he would be wearing it at the beginning of almost every single one of theirs-

The SKY BLUE Shirt

Let me just begin by saying Sobti is a VISION in this shirt. It's a shame it indicates an upcoming separation... or at least the threat of one. Arnav has worn this most beautiful of shirts only twice- once when Khushi threatened to go back to Luckhnow and then once more at the temple when they got bandage-engaged and they decided they would never see each other again... only to see each other again.

I guess this shirt just serves to represent that as much as they try to separate- fate won't let them. The sky blue shirt epitomises nafrat paas aane na de, mohabbat door jaane na de.

Speaking of fate, we can now move onto:

The RED Shirt

The red shirt tends to make appearances when Arnav is planning something and is trying not to think about Khushi... but inevitably ends up running into Khushi. Kind of like fate intervening to remind them "Erm, you might TRY to run away but GOOD LUCK WITH THAT."

What's that Arnav? You're trying to plan an anniversary party for your sister thinking KKG has gone back to Lukhnow. NOPE CHUCK TESTA, SHE'S IN YOUR WARDROBE.

Sorry what? You wanted to discretely follow Aakash to see why he's been acting so weird? NOPE CHUCK TESTA, SPOTTED BY KKG AND ROPED INTO INSANE FILMY PLAN.

Oh and what was that about wanting to wallow by yourself in your grief over the love of your life hugging your creepwa of a Jija on the terrace and yelling some vague statement at him? NOPE CHUCK TESTA, THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE COMES OUT TO SLEEP BY THE POOLSIDE YOU BANISHED HER TO AND TELLS YOU THAT SHE HATES YOU.

The red shirt doesn't seem to be much of an indicator as to what's coming up exactly since we all know that all three of those scenarios were very different in tone, pacing and emotion- but the red shirt DOES, to me, seem to have the underlying link that, regardless of how or why they try to separate... Arnav and Khushi just cannot remain apart.

The GREY Shirt

Now, assuming the Shirt Code holds true... I'm next going to flip my shit and start squealing as much as I did seeing the navy one in TODAY'S, when I see Arnav in the grey shirt- because what THIS shirt has coincided with every single time is KHUSHI realising something important. 

Arnav's  wearing grey when Khushi sees his softer side on the day he buys all those pigeons for the little girl and then again when she first realises that she has "dhak dhak" feelings for him. Most importantly, however, he's wearing it on the day Khushi finds out the truth about Shyam and cries on Arnav's shoulder. 

The grey shirt also seems to indicate that Khushi is about to decide to keep whatever new found knowledge it is she has obtained a secet from Arnav. If Arnav's wearing grey when Khushi finds out why he married her, we can be DAMN sure she's not going to confront him but will just be sad and then try to PROVE her innocence by staging some drama. Which, in my opinion... WILL BE BRILLIANT OMG ARNAV PLEASE WHIP ON THE GREY SOON!!! 

Now allow me to move onto the next shirt:

The PURPLE Shirt

This particular baby is a tricky one so it took me a while to realise the pattern for this one. There is always a religious celebration of some sort (I'm counting engagements as religious in this case) and then, ArShi wise, something happening which culminates in Arnav trying to talk to Khushi about something but her refusing to listen or getting angry at him instead which in turn (obviously) causes the great Arnav Singh Raizada to flare up in a rage as well:

It's hard to believe it could really be this specific, right? But it's true. 

I WILL ADD IN THE EXAMPLES LATER, this is SO TIME CONSUMING TO ARTICULATE :')

----xxx------

Still about 5 or 6 left to go for definite- possibly more. I wasn't sure how to split things into shades because there appears to be a grey shirt, a grey-green shirt, a green-brown shirt and a brown shirt but there's a bit of interchangeability between a few. I'll probably add that kind of detail later and just stick to the overall trends for now. :)

And now... back to revision 🤢

I hope you're enjoying the ridiculously keen analysis right now and that it'll give you something to analyse even FURTHER and hunt for even MORE spoilers just by staring at Barun Sobti's body 😆
