Hello dear AJ,
First of all,Happy new year!!(I hope new year wishes are still valid)
I hope you are keeping safe and sound!
As my ask this time,do you ever wish Arnav-Khushi's first meeting could have been different?Or do you think it fits their story?I'd really like to hear your thoughts on this :)
Thankyou AJ,
Lots of love ❤
Dearest dearest Fatima,
THANK YOU SO MUCH - haha yes the New Year wishes are valid all year round!
In what we have seen, the first meeting was literally done as a converging point for two completely different people. The first meeting was designed in a way to cross the paths of two people who would virtually never meet if not for fate.
And it was done in a way to make sure that it's not forgettable - Arnav meets a thousand people a day. They need to remember who the other person is as well. And when you start off with the worst impressions, you are always surprised by how wrong you are.
And at the end there's that sexual attraction that keeps them at war with themselves.
What are the chances of them meeting otherwise?
- One could be that Nani, on her visit to Lucknow, goes to her favorite store (I feel Shashi is a second/third generation halwai in his family), meets Payal and thinks she's the perfect match for Arnav. Ofc, she couldn't be more wrong and that's how Arnav and Khushi come into each other's worlds.
I'm not a stickler for canon, in fact a few of my friends must be getting headaches now with my ways of how the story should've been post elopement and how the Lavanya track should've been different.
However, to be very honest, apart from the one idea above and the one that happened I cannot see Arnav and Khushi ever meeting keeping their characters according to canon. It's the only thing I believe I wouldn't change or wish it happened under different circumstances at all.
So while I'm not at all upset with the first meeting because it has the perfect drama, I do wish it was further addressed in the show. Initially Arnav apologizes to everyone except the woman he harassed that night (he does that much later in the show).
Ouch.
Much love,
- AJ
