Arjun is one complicated character...some love him, some hate him...

first arjun has good side, bcoz he doesn't name his friend's names in that punjab jail...so there is friendship respect inside him...he intended to get rid of anjali's fear of spiders...so he put spider on her...his method was wrong but his intention was pure...he could have kissed reena that day...but he stopped himself...he admitted that he is selfish and only thinks about his image...to admit this in front of ur lady love takes courage...and he realises that but does not improve himself...instead he accepts that he is rotten and continues being like that...

he really felt bad when reena opened her heart in front of him...so that shows he is sensitive and there are emotions behind his poker face...outwards he shows that he doesnt care about anyone and only wants success, fame and money...but deep inside there is an ache for love, care and friendship

arjun accepts the fact that he is selfish, he confessed that in front of reena...once he admitted to aakash that he (arjun) never speaks good about anyone...so he knows that he is bad...but then yet why does he not improve himself? like repair the damages his mistakes did?

like trying to be a better person than he is now...be good to reena and return her love truthfully...

but currently behind his "arjun sabharwal celebrity mountaineer" image he is unable to remorse...

yesterday, he said to roongta that he honestly doesnt care about anjali at all...but he opened his past to her, he felt remorse about the spider act and apologized to her truly...he also spent a few friendly moments with her...so after all that, he doesnt even consider anjali a friend? or does he but fears to admit it? bcoz his faith in friendship is broken...bcoz his earlier days friends deserted him in jail and fled leaving him alone...

that airport sweeper friend recognized him but arjun acted as if he does not know that lowly man...but was in tears also...and kept looking back at his friend...as if he wanted to hug him, but restrained himself...bcoz at that time some of his fans came to click a picture with him...


so arjun is a very complicated character...but is good as well as bad...can be better if tried...lets hope for the best

all his complications , past does not also justify his present behaviour IMO.
1. he has a bad past, very turbulent childhood and bad company made him go haywire.. True.
2. he still had some basic good qualities , like not telling his gang's name- but he was betrayed by his mates, which made him violent and cynical permanently...
So basically, Life has always been unfair to him... and he decided to give it back to life at every step- agreed!

But at the same time, he is also no Bechara! he has huge achievements in life, A sports star, youth icon, immense fame, all by himself. Isnt that great enough to change his perception towards life? why whine about what is gone?
Past is always modifiable, and Arjun should have allowed his success to mellow him down , and become humble. But he always chooses to satisfy his ego, belittles others. This has nothing to do with his past , but his immense success which has got into his head, this arjun is least likeable , though he has his share of struggles!

I loved that scene of his with anjali last week, when he playfully refuses to acknowledge her as a Better mountaineer. That should be an attitude of a COMPETITIVE sportsman, and not like what he was feeling last night.

He is one of the most interesting character.. I loved to see his various layers and depth in his character.. Yes sometimes he was strange and sometimes he was too good.. No doubt his horrible past haunting him in every aspects of life.. His fear of rejection, fear of love, fear of acceptance, fear of adaption and loneliness finally fear of back to his own path..When Reena mentioned the Arjun whom she loved though he was a thief but then his honesty and goodness in him stayed out shine.. He just make this world to hate and demold him..It was killing him inside though he fakes himself as a successful person.. He had some huge achievements as a renowned mountaineer and remarkable credits behind his name but not as a successful human being that was left clinged out by writers to make everest preaching him.. But still Arjun one of my favourite complexed character and Sahil pulled it off brilliantly..!!

Arjun is grey. He thinks about himself while taking decision. He is good if no harm comes to him. He will try to protect himself even if that is not ethically correct he will do it. He has huge trust deficit. I hope he transofrms into a better person at the end of the show.

Yeah really want him to be a better person at the end...

bcoz he can be better only if he tries to be better...just his good side, dark past, bright present and uncertain future cannot change him...

to be a good man, he should let his inner urge come out

if he feels he has cheated reena, try and improve on that
instead of telling her not to love him, he's not deserving n all that...u can be deserving only if u reform

i dont know if he is good or bad.
but one thing's for sure, he is more INTERESTING than akash. he entertains me more than akash. akash is too perfect and too gentle. i cant relate to those sort of characters.
arjun on the other hand, has short comings and flaws in his character which he will overcome eventually.And thats what makes him more interesting.

grt post! I completely agree wid ur views..

most of u have said it all.. I will add some view points of mine.. ;)

yes Arjun has got everything now.. its high time he leaves behind his past n be a good person.. but looks like he's afraid to change, may be he doesnt trust himself that he can turn in to a better person.. that's what he said to reena.. he said.. I dont want to hurt you,, but I know I will hurt you reena, dont love me..
hope he gets rid of this insecurity n become a nice guy soon..
