Garima
She is like any other mother trying to get the best for her children. She has seen the life that she had with Shashi. Though she could have found solace in the fact that her husband has the intangible wealth of righteousness and principles, she chose to cry over her fate where she did not have the riches that she wanted. She has seen the gruesome end that her husband faced and blamed the same righteousness and principles for this.
Now she wants to secure the future of her daughters for which I don’t blame her. Arnav is a better bet than Akash who is never going to go against Priya’s wishes. Priya wanted a better DIL for her blue eyed boy Akash than Khushi. Garima somehow must have sensed this and now we know why she asked Khushi to marry someone who loves her rather than someone she loves. Being a mother, I feel Garima is shrewd enough to understand the turmoil in Khushi’s heart which probably she can see in her eyes, a confusion. Khushi has recently been subjected to Akash’s so called pre-existing affections and is at a very vulnerable stage. She hence does not want Khushi to jeapordise the marriage with Arnav. Her solution is simple that a child will stabilize Arhi relation at this point in time and also show the public at large that all is well with Arnav and his wife. Moreover the entry of a child at this point in time will establish Arnav as a family man and give an impetus to his career.
Khushi rightly needs time to understand Arnav fully and hence doesnot want to have a child at this point in time and complicate the things. Anju is mature enough to understand what her mother is hinting at. She too feels that Khushi’s confusions will be laid to rest once she is distracted from her feelings (if any) for Akash with the news of her impending motherhood.
Let us see how Khushi reacts to Anju’s well meaning advice to wholeheartedly accept Arnav as her life partner. I feel even Anju will realise that Khushi’s Dil and Dimaag are at odds as far as Akash is concerned.
