no way...la makes no difference for him...not having any feeling that la is loving him only and respect her feelings...
and arnav is not expressing his love, becoz of his ego...though ego is there...but more than that he is having so much of fear of losing his love if he started loving his love...so, he himself, convincing himself with his ego and showing others that he is having so much ego..especially kushi, and he is so wealthy, and kushi is nothing for him...
but his character is like that...that he is not at all a egoistic, but only show as he hv so much ego, so that let all hate him for his ego...summary...he loves to get hated by all...so that he can love all only within himself...without telling others..
sorry for confusing...pls read it again..if u r confused..
