Lavanya, Arnav’s sophisticated girlfriend (who is also Khushi’s employer’s daughter), is present. She is shocked and hurt, but she hides her pain to maintain her poise. This creates a subtle love triangle tension. She later confronts Arnav, who coldly tells her it’s "a family matter" and not to worry – a dismissive answer that deepens her insecurity.
Arnav looks at her, his eyes narrowing. "What is this, Khushi? A new drama?" Khushi looks him dead in the eye. "No, Arnavji. This is not drama. This is what normal people do. They pay for what they consume. They don't take favors." iss pyaar ko kya naam doon episode 20
