Hmmm...so maybe, just maybe Arnav / ASR does not merit a letter at all? Nothing that Khushi has to say to him that has not already been said? In his actions, in her response, in perhaps his remorse and in her resolve to move on...
Surprisingly I have never felt animosity towardsMamiji - a bit of a caricature trying hard to be a Raizada, never being able to rise above her perceived good fortune. Even when she finally agrees to the Payal-Akaash match, it wasn't love for the son or his happiness that changed her mind . She was driven by the fear of loosing her identity as a Raizada woman which was obviously precariously and hard won (refer Nani's veiled threat at the havan).. wonderful that you caught those nuanced / oblique inferences!
Khushi & mamiji are exactly in the same position except that one was brought in with acceptance and one was forced! Both allowed their immediate environment to change them - one chose to try and merge with her surrounding, a little ashamed of who she was and trying to be someone she aspires to, while the other chose to allow her environment to embitter her, albiet marginally!
Shoot, I am rambling again! Just in a crazy mood after watching the episode today. Was not sure whether I should laugh, get irritated with continued caveman behaviour or I dont know what! Sigh!
