I belong to a bussiness family, My dad is a self made proud man. He made his three kids professionals even though he could only study till SSLC. I have seen him so arrogant, angry and mad so many times with his employees, my mom as well as at times with my brother who is currently managing the bussiness. I am not saying he is right but the characterisation of Arnav is a typical character of a self made arrogant bussiness man and this is from personal experience. It's not that my dad is a bad dad, he is the best in the world and cos of him I am in UK and a well established professional..
Arnav loves kushi, If he didn't he had so many other ways of getting rid of Kushi, like getting her married to NK who lives in Australia or even sending them back to luknow. This man loves her and when you love somebody you feel that you have the right to hurt them cos you are hurting. I have done this to my husband when I was angry cos of him i tell him so many rude things to hurt him.. every body does that. I don't think Arnav is any different. he is human and he is hurt and as a self made egoist he is not going to let anybody know he is hurt including his sister and his wife..
He was ready to tell her 'kyu pharak padtha hai' and tell her that he loves her that is when he got hurt.. You can see how much he wants to open up to her from the bangle scene itself. He had done so many things to say that he cares and love her. Starting from saving devimayya's moorthi when she fell down trying to take it from the shelf. He knows it means a lot to her and wanted to make sure the moorthi is not damaged.
Paying the hospital bill, showing how upset he was when he thought she met with an accident.Almost killing a guy when he hurt her by just pushing her. So many evidence that she loves her. He infact changed for her, apolagised to Lavanya infront of others when kushi told him. So what I am trying to tell here is that Arnav loves Kushi.
Kushi on the other side like him and probably loves him as well but not as strongly as Arnav. He married him for her family but she could have walked away with out marrying him. She could have trusted her BIL, Akash to keep his words and marry Payal. She could have told akash about the reason behind Payal's broken marriage. There are only few places were she showed her love. when she is taunted by others she is showing her anger towards Arnav behind closed doors. She is pushing and cornering him with questions. Calling him rakshas in front of God. If she really loved him and knew him she could have realised that there is some reason for him to behave like that.
He is keeping his promise. he married her in a temple rather than just going to a registrar office cos he knows she likes that and she believes in all these things. He is making sure that everybody knows that she is his wife and no one has the right to taunt her.
Finally, what I feel is that Arnav is no different from a normal self made arrogant bussiness man. He loves his wife and he is just behaving like a normal person who is hurt by the woman he loves and was starting to trust.
These are my opinion from personal experience and I am not trying to be rude about anyone else's opinion.
