anjali is a meddlesome character. she found out via shyam something is wrong with arhi. she cant have "sadness" in her perfect world so she set out to right the wrong by sending them to a honeymoon which for obvious reason arhi rejected. so in the short time they tried to have the couples have an romantic evening. hoping this will bring arhi closer and back to being happy again. they live in a joint family so its normal in such families for the elders to get involved esp. in the matters of a newly wedded couple as they think they have insight into problems due to experience.
and not to forget the family think arhi had a lovers spat, a mild disagreement common in the first months of marriage. so their solution was to get them to spend sometime together so they forget abt thier little problems. that is not contrived nor cringe worthy i think saying that is a little judgmental. in joint families elders are involved in day to day lives esp. when they detect probs.
i think we should remember that what all information we know as audience the characters within the show dont. would the family have done anything like this if they knew the serious prob. between arnav and khushi... no. anjali would be crying buckets of tears knowing the truth followed by fainting an dying. i think today was a serious hint that the truth will be out soon. both arnav and shyam's masks are slipping in public as they cant take it anymore. khushi is also become more and more aware of arnav's obsession with pleasing his sister and his objections towards her.
they wanted to show the conflict of feeling between arhi. how they want to hate each other but still cant. and to show this like always they used anjali who has directly or indirectly always brings them together. u have every right not to like the way they should this. but i dont think it was cringeworthy to show family elders trying to help out a younger couples. in indian culture some families still believe in arranged marriages and see it fit to be involved in their children's life's even after the age of 18. i grew up in a nuclear family and but i respect families who choose to follow their traditions an live in a joint family and participate in what that entails.
