Thank you all so much for your wonderful analysis..
Made my morning… I will enjoy watching the conversational episode with peace now..

Below based on your all analysis, my POV..
I love the episodes with healthy or heart to heart conversations..
I am okay with them not accepting their feelings even with themselves.. I like slow build as far as they ensure the progress in story.
I love their fight even within them and they can take as long till makers do not actually hitch the leads with parallel counterparts.
Too much of negative repetitive talks are off to me..
Any conversation, however long it is never looks long if it is meaningful and gives insight into the internal fight that people are undergoing…
Talking out also helps to break the ice between people..
and I think this was one positive step between Ani and Jhanak.. they are far away from even accepting it to themselves even if somewhere acknowledged their feelings but are running away.. Ani is on the verge of not running away but he is insecure of Jhanak not feeling anything.. somewhere knows she has feelings but scared ..
Jhanak is scared to fall for him.. I think she has fallen even more badly for Ani and that is why eager to run away at the cost of her future. She does not want to be called the home breaker and thus always ensures Arshi of her not being interested in Ani..
Seeing this, I think it should be Ani to realize and work on their relationship as Jhanak even after realization will keep off and may be more rude.. Ani will have to take the lead in it single-handedly .
Coming to Arshi - people get carried away when she talks good. NOooo… she is clearly bad. She is an insecure under confident b1*(h who can go to any length to keep things in her favor..
The girl who is ready to marry off her younger sis to anyone, who does not care to think good of person fighting for life, who participates in doing the the painful rituals her sister has to undergo and who is happy for her sister to be taken away by a goan whom she knows will ruin her sister…
She is insecure with Jhanak on two matters and fears Jhanak clearly can beat her on two important matters of her life.. her career and Ani.. she knows Jhanak can win over her in both matters so she is ready to let go Jhanak in any hand . Only thing that sometimes confuses people for her being not bad is her being dumb.. she is surviving on her mother’s strength only.
Pheww.. wrote a lot.. just my thoughts.
