Seriously people!?
So disappointed with today's episode especially on why Arnav left her alone to deal with it!? Really!?
When we first heard about the marriage track - did we think that in one day - Arnav now turned into ASR will come and save Khushi!? Din't we already know that he was going to give her hell - isn't that exactly what he put her through today!?
I really felt bad for Khushi and I also wanted Arnav to stand up for her and not leave her alone to face the wrath of both the families - but if he would have stayed back - woudnt it have shown his ' Arnav side to Khushi - the Arnav that actually cared!
He left - because he dint want to say anything and neither did want to face Anjali anymore than he wanted too. The scene where he bangs the face on Anjali's face was a clear symbolism of the fact - if there was anyone he dint want to face at that very moment it was Anjali.
More importantly - yes - marrying khushi probably wasn't the best of idea - because at the end of the day its between him and shyam. However Khushi is the one in between. She is the one who is between Shyam and Anjali and he had to remove her from the scene all together. One may say he could have spoken to Khushi first - was there time enough!? Was he rational enough when he did what he did!?
He had just seen his jijaji hugging some other girl, and then throwing on his face that they were indeed having an affair, then passing off ridiculous smirks, then his sister getting pregnant -- how could a man be rational when his lifeline was in deep trouble.
I am not supporting the fact that he should have left Khushi alone - but when he married her, he dint promise her bed of roses but a life full of thorns.
It was a very bad day for Khushi - but if it have been bad now - then there would not be any bad for Arnav in the future. He will bear the consequences - ofcourse but today what happened with Khushi was not intentionally done by Arnav. She had a choice to speak up - she dint. He had a choice to manipulate the whole situation - he dint. If everything would have been so easy about the whole marriage - then there would have been no story at all.
Some perspective from the replies
1) By passionalive :
Ditto..ppl are making ASR as coward and don't know what else..ASR was never answerable to anyone since day one of the show..Did ppl cried when ASR did not give the reason of breaking up with Lavanya to family? As far as I remember, NO. Lavanya being a girl was also tortured, She just told about mutual agreement...but what reason...no one knows in family...
It was quite evident that ASR was at least answerable to Anjali at that point of moment..but he could not divulge all..that her hubby is a creep...after all he has taken this decision in his helplessness and shattered state of mind..He had never thought about the implications earlier...
Rather I was feeling light while watching this...It is all drama..intertwined with an intense love-hate story...there are some cliche to satisfy all kind of audiences..so we should not take it so hard on our heart...if everything will be rosy, life willnot have any fun...ASR redemption will be longer..and Khushi will gt her respect back...I feel for both of them..
2) By Riti4u :Thanks for much needed post..When I opened it ..I seriously thought that it will be bashing Arnav but to my surprise..it is a Not..Seriously I feel ASR has reacted in a more balanced way than a normal person who has seen so much in past 3-4 hrs or so..he reacted impulsively but his intentions were purely to protect his sister first..yes he destroys khushi's life for no fault of her own..but that beauty of this show..I mean even in past it was Arnav's fault or action which lead to some problem for khushi but then it was always arnav only who turns out to be his ultimate Savior..I love this show for this unique concept.. Arnav has immense love for khushi but if only he cud give her that love...If only..."Kash main tumse mohabbat kar pata"

Seriously guys you hated Arnav today right? He was such a coward right?
But didn't we already know he's gonna marry Kushi due to hatred. and we expect him to come save her?? seriously?!😕
And he left her to the wolves alone? I'd have agreed if he had left while the Kushi questioning was going on but he left earlier than that. And why? How is he supposed to face his di? How can he answer her?
And now suppose Arnav had not gone and stood there, do you think he'd stand by her and back answer to the family when she got bashed? Isn't he gonna stand there quietly? I'm sure if this had happened there would have been Arnav bashing posts on why he kept quiet. and had he talked supporting kushi there would have been posts saying CVs are spoiling ASR's character and the track😕!
Yes my heart went out to Kushi today. But Arnav shouldn't be hated for just this one day! I mean i saw posts saying they won't vote for best jodi to Arhi!

ASR was just being ASR, nothing more nothing else. If every time ASR is ruthless against Khushi, and people start calling him names, that isn't fair and would not gel with his character. I would be upset, if he had turned uncharacteristically mushy w/o reason today. He is hurt and lashing out at people who hurt him and his di.
ATM, ASR feels that both Khushi & Shyam have wronged both him and his di. He tried to tell his di about her lecherous husband but fate had other plans for him. His first loyalty lies with his sister, and he will fiercely protect her happiness, at all costs.
Secondly, now that he thinks Khushi is in cohorts with this creep, she too, in his eyes, is just as bad as Shyam. In fact even worse, because unbeknownst to her, and quite against his will, Arnav has fallen quite hard for Khushi. His male ego has taken a beating and he is like a wounded tiger right now.
All his actions are quite justified due to the above circumstances.
But all said and done, I did really feel bad for Khushi having to face the aftermath of the storm alone, but I think it may have served another purpose too. This whole backlash at her from her family will make her really very angry towards ASR. Up till now, she has been very docile towards him due to her own love for him and the threat of breaking her sister's wedding once again, but now that he has landed her in this royal mess, she needs that anger to be built up in her to fight back. Otherwise she would just tolerate everything meekly because of her sister. He is solely responsible for this mess she is in right now, and now that she has been disowned by her own family, she will hit back really hard at ASR. And that's a very good thing for us viewers 😃
Now, why Khushi behaved quite uncharacteristically with first Shyam in not fighting him during the hug and why she never questioned ASR about the contact marriage proposal is due to CVs resorting to such inconsistencies to advance the story :) Otherwise, w/o any MU there would be no story :)
But I am really glad, that they didn't butcher ASR's character by turning him mushy to protect Khushi right after he married her in hatred. Also, thoda drama with family toh chahiye for TRPs sake, one should overlook such irregularities in hindi soaps, when CVs conveniently throw logic out of the window. :)
One thing I am really interested in finding out whether Payal will also start blaming & doubting Khushi, that would be the height of stupidity on the part of CVs IMO. I hope her faith in her sister never waivers.
And let's just sit back and enjoy the show as it unfolds, I am really liking this high drama, hope they do justice to the track now :)

Why is every one behind him?? dont you all see- he TOO suffered and will suffer! worst that what Khushi is feeling right now.
i made a comment on a post the other day where people were like he is negative and all that- wanna add that here
Why i like ASR is -
apart from the fact that it is being played by barun 😳-
see- ASR was very clear from the beginning that he does NOT want a commitment and he time and again mentioned it to Lavanya. Also he fully accepted his mistake and apologized to her.
Him falling for Khushi is something he DINT plan. It happened and that is why he was literally freaked out for loosing control and the best and only way he knew was to keep her away- he was using the same path he used to redeem himself when he lost his mother- the practical path. He dint change a bit. he was always like that.
but Shyam- He time and again claimed and declared his love for "Ranisaiba" and went ahead and parallely got engaged.
Also- if you observe the show, the minute he held lavanya's hand he maintained distance from Khushi and the minute he came to know she was engaged - apart from that "farak padta hain" thing, he never touched her, be it holding roughly by shoulders or anything.
he always helped her in his own way, troubled her in his own way, yet made her smile in his own way. and that is why i love him
about this - he left la for Khushi, Shyam can leave Anjali for Khushi
he was ready to disclose shyam to his sister and sort the matter, he confronted shyam too but the minute he realized his sister was pregnant, it was only then he understood the gravity of the situation. He broke down. From shyam side it was hopeless and all he could think of was stopping Khushi and Shyam to be together - so he again took the practical path - stand in between those two till his nephew comes into the world.
you would say he could've herd Khushi's side
If i was asr and i saw that- i wouldn't be in a mood to listen. Yes i would listen but not now. I wont literally hurt Khushi, i married her for 6 months for my sister and will give her liberty to got to her love after my sister is fine. BECAUSE i am being practical and i am being selfish. i feel betrayed by a man whom my sister worships and by a girl whom i love. I dont see the mistake because i am blind with anger rage and agony of past. I am not being a villain, i was like this when i threw her from 1st floor of office, I was like this when i threw her cell in rage, i was like this when i worried about her well being when she got stuck in the guest house, i was like this when i beat the pulp out of those goons. ( umm you getting my point? )
as a viewer i feel its all justified, he is normal! -ASR had other options- but he was blind to them. it was khushi's part of bargain to speak up, when she stood up to him then, why not today? well, she will do that in a while. the show is not yet done, to judge it. it is just a span of few hours in the show ( though its DAYS -WEEKS for us )
both of them are shocked and lost and confused. he demanded, she accepted.
About feeling Khushi's pain - I did- i felt so bad- literally yell at the screen saying "Girl speak up to him, ask why"
And if i was Khushi- i am 3 years elder to her but i can relate - i would be confused, blank and lost. and for my sister i would accept. ONly difference being i would've questioned him then and there, it is a show, so Khushi dint.
what happened today is also part of his role- his life- himself! he dint leave her- he left his sister because he couldn face her. What would you do? i mean yes what is happening to Khushi is heart wrenching- but THAT has NOTHING to do with Arnav being a villan. He has his fears and agonies. so does she. stop bashing him.
he is flawed! he is raw! he is rude- because he is most realistic reel character.
