Hello everyone
Since there are so many posts regarding Anjali, I thought lets have a moment to discuss the reason of hatred..
When the red roses were delivered, Anjali's mind jumped to the fact that they were from her husband. When Arnav said that it was from him, she jumped to a conclusion that it was for her. Is something really wrong in this? Is it wrong to expect roses from a sibling when her life is suddenly full of thorns?
Is it wrong if she feels that her husband has handed her roses because he was missing her as he has always been doing from the past three years? When she got to know that Arnav ordered them, she thought that they were from her brother for her because she was feeling down. What is wrong with that? After all she has been the centre of his brothers universe. She has been the centre of his life even when she herself used to wish for someone else to share that place. Arnav gave her all the attention even when she didn't need it,.. so why will she expect any less specially during the time when she needs her brother the most?
What is wrong when she feels a twinge of jealousy seeing Arnav and Khushi together?
I want to ask one question to all those who are married or in a relationship..
Picture this: If your friend or your brothers wife comes and tells you, that the husband you have worshipped for years, the husband who has promised undying love, has been lying.. How will you react? When Mami told her this, her first reaction was denial. And it was obvious—not because Anjali is said to live in her 'make believe world ' but because it is impossible to believe that ,for anyone, that the love and care of the person who is closest to you is fake.
If you have ever been cheated on in a relationship or have known someone who has been cheated- then you will know, that even though the 'other woman' might not always be at fault, somewhere you end up blaming her because it is easier to blame her then to believe that you didn't have it in you to be the loved one.
How many of you are friends with your boyfriends ex? Friends meaning "best friends" and "ex" as in an ex he was crazy about? It is possible to be friends but there will always be a sinking feeling in some corner of the heart- a discomfort at a certain memory—no matter how long past the incident is…
Anjali lost the most important person in her life because he fell for Khushi and now another important person, her brother is totally in love with her. The same brother who panics if she sneezes, the same person who cries seeing a slightest tear in her eyes—is now celebrating with the woman who has destroyed her world? [Don't think of this from Khushi's POV but Anjali's]
Don't forget Anjali wasn't shown any proof regarding shyam.. she just has a spoken word.. A spoken word of a women who she has just known for a few months. The spoken word of those men who believe this women. One (Arnav)because he loves her. Two (NK) who nurses a soft spot for her and three (Payal) who is her sister. How can she believe these three people against that one man she has spent 3 years as his wife—Married women will understand this even though words fail to explain.
Many might say that Khushi faced a lot on her own, Why cant Anjali do the same? Why does she want to cling on to her brother?
The answer is that Khushi despite of losing her parents has had a sheltered upbringing. She has been brought up by so much love that her positive attitude towards life says it all. Arnav and Anjali clearly have a bad past. The past that has made the person they are today. So if Arnav adorns a ruthless mask, it is UNDERSTANDABLE and when Anjali clings to him, it INSANE? Are we that biased?
Arnav and Anjali have one common weakness. Losing someone they love. If Arnav had lost Khushi, you all would have wanted to see him shattered. If he lashed out at the world, there would have been posts saying 'he loves her so much that his anger says it all'. Then Anjali is no different. Why get annoyed when she cries or gets bitter or possessive? She is human. What Khushi is for Arnav, Shyam was the same for Anjali. Why does that fantasy of "cannot survive without the other" restrict to only Arnav and Khushi?
Don't forget, this is the same Anjali who had once wanted Arnav and Khushi to be together, the same Anjali who would talk to Arnav if she felt that Khushi was slightest bit upset. Then why is she against Khushi?
Because the truth is that she wants to hate KHUSHI. Every time Khushi comes in front of her she is reminded of the husband she can't live without. She is the reminder of her broken home. The reason her child doesn't have a father. Yes Khushi has suffered and that is overlooked because no one exactly knows the extent of Khushi's suffering and that will remain hidden till the six month contract does.
The tagline of the story still remains the same. But for the story to go on, it is imperative that the feelings of the other members are shown and whether you like it or not Anjali is the parallel lead of the show. You are getting arhi moments despite of the tense situation.. so stop complaining and start enjoying..
