This one left me with questions. Why the comparison to a dying star with reference to Lavanya and Arnav? Didn't quite catch that, sorry.
I actually was never too fond of Lavanya the character. She had her moments, her graceful exit being the most memorable one, but by and far she was very sketchy in the show. Your chapter reminded me of that scene where Khushi calls Arnav 'character-dheela', and Lavanya walks in on them while they are having it out. First time they showed her awareness of something tangible between these two.It still bugs me that we never had any background on the Arnav-Lavanya relationship, and it was only after Khushi arrived that L was shown to be understanding Arnav to some extent. Probably the reason of my discomfort whenever Lavanya is given her voice. What was it like before Khushi?
I compared the two to a dying star because the two are quite alike. I never found Arnav and Khushi alike with the blatant difference in the way they think and execute what's on their mind. Arnav and Lavanya at one point would have had a solid relationship if he has been with her long enough to convince her to move in with him. He made an effort to pursue his relationship with her and went against his family. That ought to mean something, doesn't it? In lieu of making Khushi the heroine, Lavanya was so badly pushed aside, everything she did came out of nowhere and sometimes even shallow.
Lavanya knew Arnav well enough. When Khushi arrived, she understood his family more than she understood Arnav and the "culture" knowledge transfer that followed.
This is just me :-)
