Today's episode was a classic display of arrogance, only it wasn't Arnav's arrogance, but khushi.
The complete disregard for a person's wishes, the deliberate hijack of another person's efforts and the constant spiel of "What i do is right for my sister and family" sounds familiar ? for weeks and months ASR has been criticised for this, but is khushi any different ?
she started off on the wrong foot...she taunted him repeatedly about his poor party organization skills ! she even made a dig at his diabetes and used it as a supposed clever pun...humor in poor taste...anyone rem the aukat series ? well this is reverse placement...if he deserved brickbats so did she...
My main peeve point stems from the fact that, even at the end of it all...there is no remorse or even the slightest regret at her actions. Infact, she was made the victim and Arnav the fool. She still feels justified at it all...and clearly believes that if anyone is wrong its him. She doesn't get when she oversteps boundaries or when is in the wrong.
Arnav has never invaded her personal space so strongly earlier. He behaves like the perfect gentleman whenever around her family and shows unbelievable restraint to most of her antics.
This isn't the first time kkg is doing this. Boardmeetings, family functions, business trips, conferences...nothing deserves respect...nothing is beyond disturbing and naivety and goodness of heart is often used as the primary emotion. Yes, khushi is naive, she probably thinks shes doing good. But how many times is the same excuse going to be used ?
And the way they showed her gloating at the end of the drama...glorifying the act !! i thought it was shoddily done. Today was less about her concern for payal, and more of her desire to prove Arnav wrong. Even payal looked mildly disturbed at the complete hijack ! but such emotions were never completely explored ! the track just switched to him being the villain.
Khushi and her gumption and her spunk were some of the characteristics i loved about her. Showing him up when hes wrong, is good. But the display of arrogance and then playing the victim, was not the khushi i fell in love with.
A lot of you could disagree, and there could be immense debate on this. But one things for sure, Arrogance is the only thing thats common between Khushi and Arnav,. If his behaviour is offensive, so is hers...and probably this is what makes them the perfect couple Well, maybe.
