ASR, how does your garden grow? - Page 2

Does anyone else find it totally ironic that hell raiser ASR has of all things - gardening - as a hobby?  He doesn't come home and shadow box (although I would sooo love to see ASR in that get up and sweaty) or go hunting (the go to past time of all hard hearted men in Hindi tele and filmdom) - these activities also involve no other human interaction.  But no - he gardens...like Benedictine monks.

This is what I think about this little hobby and Mr. Greenthumb.

Arnav has needs (no I am not talking about primal things here, I am talking emotional - we can all see that La is always ready to quench that need in ASR 🤢).  He needs to take care of something, he wants to nuture something, he wants to turn his attention at the end of a hard day to something gentle and to something that will appreciate his care.  Because of whatever has happened in the past to harden him against people and their ulterior motives, he can not and has made it a point that he will not (yes, the man has trust issues) find a person to fill that role - so he turned to gardening.  His garden grows because he takes the time to nuture it and attend to its needs.  And this is also how his love will grow, when he finally allows that flower to bloom.

The other thing I thought of was that Khushi and Arnav process angst and tumult in their lives the same way.  They do not turn to their close ones and discuss - one turns to plants and the other to making jalebis.  It's during the pruning, watering, frying and pouring that they work out what's churning in their minds.  They really are just different sides of the same coin.  (Can you imagine after a couple's fight - Arnav with the tulips and Khushi in the kitchen with a mountain of jalebis...that deserves a split screen 😆).

Your last part cracked me up Anu. I can so imagine them having their normal fights cause where would the show without them clashing at every angle, and Arnav goes off to his plants, nurture them while Khushi runs to the kitchen to make jalebi's. She cannot really feed Arnav them since he is diabetic and if Khushi was left alone in Arnav's garden, it would be disaster land😆 but it would be cute for sure.

😆 for sure it will be a disaster 😆 for that matter wherever she goes she does do something
only ASR can handle her 😆

I have to agree with what you said about them venting their emotions out on these things. It's def interesting track they have included in this impending love story -jalebi's and gardening.😆

His hobby is definitely one of the things I like about him...reveals a lot about his character.

👏 yes and thats the reason we love his character, how muchever hard he is but he is very much a softer kind from inside , and CVs have this one hobby which summerises his softer side 😳
i love the way kushi is shocked to see him watering the plants 😆

👏

He may be all hot headed on the surface but he actually likes the calm.

I like that they don't show him as a typical "angry young man" ,shirtless and assaulting a punching bag in his free time(not that i'd actually mind seeing that lol).

haha you are bang on but there are already enough of that catergoy 😆😉

But this simple act of gardening sets him apart.It gives him peace and brings out the real Arnav.He cannot show that side of him to others due to something that happened in his past.So these plants provide the perfect outlet for his bottled up emotions.They need to be taken care of, so he takes care,they are silent, so he gets to think through things.

so aptly put it , yes they are silent not like kushi😳 he knows to take care of plants but kushi
he just does not know 😔 he tried his usual method and yes failed terribly lets see what he will do now 😍

Great post !!😊
