Jhanak Written Update and Discussions Thread No 7. - Page 77

I haven't watched today's episode. Saving myself from the morning toxicity. But I wanted to make a point

Jhanak's care for her self-respect is always on and off mode as per her convenience. When it suits her, she defends it like against Bipasha but other times, she just sacrifice it by taking absurd decisions. Like marrying this old distasteful man.

She has got selective kudh ki soch disorder 😂

I miss Chotton very much. He predicted this long before. One day Janak will leave and go and what will happen to Ani then? That is what exactly happening now. Ani thought whole life is under control but alas today the words from his mouth are not under his control. Feeling empathy for both Ani,Janak and us. Hope good days come soon.

A very interesting episode that gave me mixed feelings... This is how I felt throughout the episode.

The episode continues from yesterday and Ani's distasteful comment about how Jhanak is ready to put the garland on any guy in the road and marry him.

Le Me:

What's the need to continue the fight, because she asked you to shut up and not interfere? It grates Ani to know she is leaving, that she won't be part of his life and she chose someone else and threw away her life... (That's debatable from my POV) yad yada yada.... But Bodomaa the good soul she is asks Ani one important question.

"Jhanak aise kisi se shaadi kyun karegi? Usse aise kadam kyun utaya hoga? Iske baare mein socho Ani..."

"Do bhaar wo bacchi marte marte bachi hai..."

"Pichli baar?"

She has also noticed the change in behavior in her Ani, the boy she raised. She knows he is not like this. I am happy to see other Basus standup for Jhanak, she doesn't need Ani to understand her

Basus then try to supress Bodomaa from talking since they are afraid Ani will probe into the bhaang incident and they don't want it. JK then happily gives credit to her mother SK for bringing such a groom. However much he is affected by Jhanak, he doesn't leave a chance to criticize her choice. He is just pissed about everything related to the marriage at this point.

"Haan, Acha ladka... nahi acha Aadmi hai"

Lol. So funny, you just can't stop yourself can you??

He then talks about wedding dress shopping to prevent embarrassing situation from happening further confusing the Basus. Haan,, . JK is asking pertinent questions today, finally in form after a long time. I guess now Ani is the dumb one and Arshi is the smart one?

Jhanak gets angry hearing this... why wouldn't she be? You insult her choices one minute and then take her for wedding shopping? Dood,,,, do you hear yourself? Smart Ani kahan gaya?

Their confrontation from the morning continues... it becomes more open as Jhanak is slipping from her composed state of indifference. Her responses are more emotional this time around...

"Mein aap logon ki katputli nahi hoon.... mein aapse ye pehle bhi keh chuki hoon..."

Jhanak is upset at his allegations from the morning and his attitude of extending the fight like a kid also makes her beave like a kid. yeah. That's what these two are... kids fighting with each other. I don't see an ounce of maturity anywhere.

"Tumhare chahne ya na chahne se farak nahi padta hai mujhe"

Ani, you are plain lashing out at this point. I don't have anthing else to say.

He is ready to go shopping with and without Jhanak. I don't understand his thoughts, is he doing this to force himself into believing this marriage is happening? He asks JK and the other Basu ladies and no one is willing to come. They all are worried he will spend a lot of money on this and are puzzled as to why he insist on going shopping?

Believe me ladies, everyone here in the forum also has the same head scratching reaction to his words.

But Ani is not giving a straight answer....

JK is now the sharpest tool in the shed apparently... she asks why Ani does so much despite Jhanak's attitude towards him and also questions Jhanak how she got this courage to behave rudely with Ani.... They are catching on to the dynamics between these two... especially Arshi and we get to see more of it on a later scene.

"Bhulo maat.... Ani tumhara Malik hai"

Everyone is telling her she is a maid including the person she loves. The look she gives him is pure anger.

" Aap to inse aise baat nahi karte Arshi didi kyunki aap unki honewale wife hai, koi ghulam nahi hai inki...Aap koi katputli nahi hai ki aapko ishare pe nachate rahe...mein bhi insaan hoon. Mujhe bura lagta hai... gussa aata hain aur kuch bhi bhol deti hoon..."

"Keh dijiye inhe ki who meri zindagi mein dhakal na de, aur mein bhi aisa nahi karungi..."

Poor Jhanak is giving this as an answer not only to JK but also to complain to Ani. She feels like a ragdoll in his hands, tossed and turned around in a whim without a care and is not allowed to exhibit basic humanity at this point. An indirect submission of her feelings towards him after the fight. She wants him to maintain a distance from her and enforce healthy boundaries to save herself.

Again, this conversation is different from the previous ones, whatever pent up emotions Jhanak might have had after the confrontation with Ani are spilling over in her response now which is raising suspicions in others making them probe for the details. Ani was not the only affected one from the spat, Jhanak is equally if not affected more than him. Ani is confused as to why she is saying this... He remains silent while other ladies insult her. But she in her fit of anger talks back even against Tammi which is very uncharacteristic of her. Bodomaa notes this down.

"Mein nahi chahthi hoon ki sirji meri shaadi mein karcha kare...wo kyun karna chahthi hai?"

Yes. Why? Ani's actions make no sense to me currently. Nor to Jhanak.

They all tell Ani to see her attitude towards him and question his decision to help her. This guy still doesn't open and answer truthfully.

Jhanak is on a roll rn, so she adds salt to his already oozing wound by saying that she doesn't want him to spend money but is okay if her husband spends it on her....

"Agar meri honewale pati mujhe kapde lekar dena chahte hai to mein accept karoongi... lekin jisse meri rishta nahi hai... mein usse kuch nahi loongi"

Jhanak is hurt and again attempts to get back at him by being logical and dignified in her response.

Both of them glare daggers at each other, tensions rising high.... but the point to note is that JK is noticing Ani's reaction keenly.

Before JK could say anything to bite back, Ani stops her and takes charge of the conversation.

"Kaunse rishta ke baat Kar rahi ho tum?"

Ani is now perplexed that Jhanak is being rude to this extent in front of everyone. His ego is bruised.

Jhanak falters a little bit before composing herself and answering his questions, Hiba did well here to show Jhanak is not as composed as she usually is.

"Mere aur aapke beech mein koi rishta nahi hai.. isliye mein kuch nahi loongi."

Jhanak issues a challenge here, mocking him to answer back.

"Ji haan, Malik aur naukar ka rishta hai, koi malik apni ghulam ke liye shaadi ki shopping nahi karata hai.. sirf orders dete hain. Haan mein ek ghulam hogi, par iska ye matlab nahi hai ki meri choices nahi hogi, meri marzi nahi hogi...ye mujhe decide karna hai ki mein kisse kya lelungi aur kya nahi...."

Jhanak is once again trying to build up her defense by relegating herself to the position of a maid as he stated and also points out the hypocrisy in his selective concern for her.

Tammi disrupts the conversation and berates Jhanak as Bodomaa supports her... what a vile woman

But before things could escalate, Ani starts ranting. His anger is a sight to behold. Krushal acted this put very well. I physically shuddered man...

"Just shut up... Bahot sunli tumhari...Ab ek shabd aur nahi"

Basically, tit for tat. Again, bruised ego and hurt that she shut him up before. so now taking the chance to shut her up. His anger is through the roof, at himself, at her, and everything around him. Hence, he is venting it out on her.

"Tumhari Shaadi humari ghar se ho rahi hain na.. to tumhari shaadi kaisi hogi, Ye hum decide karenge.."

I can see a hint of his madness and possessiveness over here. He is capable of being controlling in nature and we are getting sneak peeks here.

Arshi is miffed at Ani's relaxed attitude and she rightly questions him.

"Muje Samajhna itna asan nahi hain... Aur jo tumhe zaroorat se zyada hain na? Wo mere liye bahot important hai... Yeh meri family ki prestige ki matter hai"

Why do I feel this is an answer to Jhanak and not JK. I feel he is answering to Jhanak's previous question of who he is to her? and why he is doing this? Again, I feel he is not referring to his family's prestige but his own. And his ego at that.

Jhanak's firm refusal to get anything from him only increases his ire.

"To fekh dhena, tumhara honewala pati ke paas itna paisa hai?? Wo kareedke dega tumhe diamonds... wo laake dega tumhe shadi ke baad kapde"

"Teen din mein shaadi karni thi na, Kash tumhari shadi kal hi ho jati... Atleast mera peecha chutha..."

Ani is in so much turmoil and anguish. He is just lashing out at her and throwing her own words from earlier into her face, making her cry in the process. He wants her to feel the same pain he is feeling at the moment.

He asks JK to accompany him outside.

"Mujhe naa dum gudta hain mere apne ghar mein... mujhe bahar jaana hai"

Poor Ani... You feel suffocated for this much? blaming the outside while it's your inside that is hurting? You cannot comprehend how much worse Jhanak felt the same way till now... Is this your tolerance?

He leaves from there, unbothered to look back at his wife. To see her hurting because of his words and actions...

Today's conversation was much more direct and confrontational... a result of their residual sentiments after the previous spat. There are no monologues and tons of miscommunication rampantly present within the conversation indicative of the fact that they are now not in sync with each other anymore. Their eyes don't speak as they used to. Too direct to the point everyone has started questioning their dynamics, partially spurred by Jhanak's impulsive and emotional questions and responses to them and Ani in particular. JK is keenly noticing Ani's reaction, alarmed by his abnormal and erratic anger.

Jhanak sits on the floor and cries defeatedly. She is upset deeply by the fact that Ani has finally relegated to the position of a maid and callously tossed aside her vulnerability, not understanding the importance it gave him. People only choose to let themselves be vulnerable to their loved ones and it hurts the deepest when those people whom we trust ourselves to either don't value it and trample upon it or exploit it for their benefit. Ani did the former to Jhanak today and she is now taking time to process his reactions.

Bodomaa comes and notices her crying and encourages her to share her feelings at the moment. Jhanak laments to her on how people find it easy to insult her (especially Ani). She also somberly tells her how not even one of her wishes come true. Her remembering her marriage with Ani when Bodomaa talks about her greatest dream signifies a shift in her perspective; she is so overwhelmed by her feelings for Ani that it takes precedence before anything else. Her fanciful notions of being Ani's wife are dreams that to her now can never be fulfilled. I feel and agree with members who said she is in a self-destructive mode, She is. Her mom is dead and the only person she loves is now marrying her sister. Why should she dream about anything else?

She stares into space as Bodomaa speaks about her husband remembering Ani shows she has fully accepted Ani as her husband. Before they can continue, Appu di comes and cutely complains about Jhanak forgetting after her marraige. She cutely talks about small things that Ani did for her... Such a pure and positive soul....

Jhanak tries to hide it to no avail, but Bodomaa upon hearing it only tells Jhanak that Ani is not bad at heart and is confused as to why he behaved so oddly today. He reiterates that he likes Jhanak a lot but Jhanak is not willing to believe it.

"Muj jaise ladkiyon ko pasand nahi karte Bodomaa, taras kaate hain. Kaaz karki aise ghar ke ladke muj jaise ladki par daya karte hain..."

This sums up how Jhanak feels about Ani's feeling for her. How defeated she looks...

This scene was such a good one, to see the mother-daughter bond between Jhanak and Bodomaa.Appu and Bodomaa try to cheer her up by scolding Ani. How cutely Appu di said, mein sabak sikaungi, woh arshi ke saath reh rehkar ganda hogaya hai...

Jhanak promises to take Appu di to her susral.. poor girl is still naive to the dangers in her life. Or is it that she doesn't care?? She tells Bodomaa how she doesn't even know the A about her would be and feels bad about losing control and behaving oddly with Ani and others. The scene ends on a warm note as the three-kind woman embrace each other in support.

On the other side, JK is calmy observing an irrational and agitated Ani with amusement. She comments on how he was never this agitated before. Ani comments on how a girl beneath hsi status is dancing on top of his head...

WTH Ani?? Is this how you really feel about Jhanak? Apne baaton pe kaboo rakho na?

JK just tells him I told you so.... And sirji ko Jhanak ke baare mein baat nahi karni hai. HE orders two Americano. Yeah. That's what you need right now.... Rather get some ice and bury your head in it to cool down you a*hole.

Ye sirf baatein gol gol ghumata hai...

"Mein agar jawab de paungi to dedungi zarroor... "

"Tumhe Kya lagta hai..."

But JK is too sharp and unbothered at his attempts. She lays it out thick that she also like others feel Ani likes Jhanak more than they think and asks him straight why he goes to long lengths to do things for her. Why she acts so familar with him? How does she have the courage?

"Mein kaise keh sakthi hoon... tumhe to sabkuch patha hai humare baare mein"

Stay delulu Ani boi.

He goes on a spiel about how he was forced to bring her here and how he helped her out of goodwill. But JK is having none of it. She flatly says if it was someone else, they wouldn't even bring her here... Exactly.

She states how she got affected when he misbehaved with Jhanak and not when he helped her many times.

Ani gets riled up by her questions and blurts out his actual feelings lol for JK to see in plain sight.

"Wo ameer aadmi ke saat shadi kar rahi hain na... wo humari standard aur uski standard same samajne lagu hai..... par mujhe koi farakh nahi padta ki uski pati ho ameer ya gareeb ho... "

Ye hui na baat. It does affect him. That's why his voice got unintentionally raised as he kept speaking about Jhanak's would-be Taklu uncle husband.

Jk just watches him in amusement and remarks how he is different now.

"Ani tum maano ya na maano... Jhanak ki shaadi hone se tumhe bura lagta hai"

"Mein Jhanak se haar nahi maana chahthi"

"Woh kuchi din mein shaadi karke chale jayegi isliye mein issue nahi create karna chahti"

"Bas soch rahi hoon ki tum Jhanak ke barein mein kitna sochti ho"

"You really care for her"

"Tum mujhe jo samjane ki koshish kar rahi ho na... mein usse zyada samjhti hoon"

Maharani is casually spitting facts today... wah wah wah... I am shocked

Ani's replies are so funny and out of control that even JK finds it funny.

"Mein thodi naa pure zindagi uski kyaal raknewali..."

We all know you want to... even JK at this point man.

"it was just a project.... mein usse social work ki tarah leti hoon"

"Lekin mein acha bartaav karth rahunga aur wo mujhe bezzat kare...aisa nahi chalega..."

Akhir ye bhol hi diya ki usse kis cheez se hurt hota hai... boi longs for her to speak lovingly just as she does. Dono buddu hai...

Ani directly drinks the coffee as JK comments how he has changed in his habits... she complains about how he doesn't spend time with her anymore. Ani tries to pacify her but she is not falling into the trap. She clearly tells him that she is not misunderstanding him... but wants him to know one thing. That she won't lose to a random girl like Jhanak.

This entire conversation looked like that between two friends with one venting out his frustrations about his wife to another. JK clearly knows at this point Ani doesn't care about her as he used to. She is also choosing to be delulu about the status of Ani's feelings like Ani himself is... The way she warned him shows to me she won't leave his life. Her love has now turned into obsession and she will have him by any means regardless of whether he likes it or not. But she is still not fully understanding Ani's nature. That man cannot be controlled by anything or anyone; the only thing remotely capable of controlling him is Jhanak herself. He will burn the world down for her if she does so much as an Ishara towards him. That's how possessive and subservient he is towards her...

Precap: The one Anju said....

Another emotional episode for me being a RuNak fan.

Highlight of the episode was once again the depth of Jhanak's love for her husband Anirudha (whom she has accepted fully with her heart, mind, body and soul) getting his love and spending her entire life as his wife is her biggest dream and she can't bear it remaining unfulfilled.

In the start of episode we get of watch RuNak fight where both hurt each other, Jhanak once again deliberately hits Anirudha where it hurts him the most by saying she doesn't has any relationship with him and her future husband will take all her responsibilities..... This escalated the situation and made Anirudha burst like a Volcano as he walked towards her in Anger.... I felt if family wouldn't have been there he would have even told her what relation he has with her like in past he said you know what right I have on you.

He also goes on to hit her where it hurts her the most and says it's btr she leaves him... He will be relieved and then leaves with Arshi and she cries and leaves for her room where she cries more.

If there is one thing which is totally unbearable for Jhanak that is Anirudha's Anger towards her... She just can't bear him being upset with her bcz he is the most special person, closest person in her life, the only person on whom she feels she has all rights and hence only person with whom she talks rudely, doesn't shy away from showing that she is hurt and angry, she is completely herself only with him, this also answers the question which was raised by Arshi that why do you only talk rudely with Ani... She only hurt the person whom she loves as she only expects from that person.... Btw this scene reminded me of the scene where she is Angry on Anirudha after she came back from Guruji's class and was extremely rude to the man who only wanted to help her and in return Anirudha also was rude to her which brought tears in her eyes and she started crying a bit... Ani regretted and told himself that this time he couldn't control himself. I find this trait of Jhanak bit weird I mean why does she think that only she has right to hurt Ani and he should just silently bear it... It's obvious that sometimes he too will equally hurt her back... But she just cant take that pain and has tears in her eyes like a kid who throws tantrums in front of her favourite person but just can't take it when once in a while he gets upset.

Moving on Boroma is Indeed Budhu(she can't understand Jhanak's feelings- Nobody can as she has kept is fully guarded) ... She thinks Jhanak is sad bcz she couldn't fulfill her dreams of becoming a star dancer but the fact is that nothing in the world matters more to her than getting love of Anirudha... He is most important for her.. Her biggest dream.. She can sacrifice everything if needed, even her life but given a chance can never leave her first and last love Anirudha as never she has loved anyone more than him in her life nor can she ever love... Her entire existence is dependent on Anirudha... He is also biggest reason for her happiness and biggest reason for her sadness as well... Her entire life revolves around him as nothing affects her more than Anirudha Bose... The opinion/feelings which he has for her is most important for her that is why when Boroma talked about her unfulfilled dream all she could think about the pure love which she has for Anirudha Bose.... Like I said even though Anirudha's love is more passionate and limitless but It's Jhanak's love which is more deep and unconditional. Again Budhu Boroma keeps on talking about her future married life and keeps trying to give her false hopes as unlike Anirudha she has no idea of what Awaits Jhanak but The moment she talks about her Husband... All Jhanak could think about Is the marriage with her husband Anirudha Bose... Again like I said before she has already accepted Anirudha as her husband and has become his wife Jhanak Bose from heart, mind, body and soul and in her entire life she can never give the position which she has given to Anirudha, neither she can accept any other man as her husband nor can she become wife of any other man.. She is true blue defination of a Single Man Woman.

Lastly Arshi has well understood Anirudha's facade of trying to show that he hates Jhanak/she is just his responsibility/he is just doing basic humanity.... She understood the fact is that he loves her the most in this world that is why cares for her the most even when she hurts him the most. The anger which he had shown on Jhanak wasnt just bcz she was talking rudely to him (thats extremely minor point) but most importantly bcz he is extremely hurt that he is going to loose Jhanak forever and he can't even imagine spending even a day without her let alone entire life... He is completely broken as all his hopes of stopping marriage of Jhanak seems to be failing and bcz of this pain he is also hurting Jhanak as that's his nature. If apart from Choton anybody was truly realised depth of Anirudha's feelings for Jhanak it is Arshi.... Jhanak Bose isn't some Random Girl For Him But His Life Partner Whom he loves to no end and if he looses her then he will loose his life as well.

Red- Exactly my feelings...

Bold- Agree with you. Would like to add some more.

For Jhanak the only person she thinks that genuinely cares about her well-being is Ani. They are both companions in this weird but difficult journey. As Ani said before, they have a past. Hence, she always vents out on him, and he doesn't take it to heart just like he does the same and she knows deep down he wants her to be better.

When he said “ atleast tumse peecha toh chootha “ he seemed very much hurt cause she said that her husband will buy stuff for her & she won’t take anything from him he looked angry like a typical husband his ego got hurt & she was giving more important to her new husband & nothing for him

His grandmother was unnecessary talking today

I felt that she instigated him there to get reaction.. because following that line she said he has no Rishta to buy her anything at all otherwise

To her she can visualise only him as patidev as seen in her flashbacks.. she was hoping against hope that he would acknowledge that rishta.. which is in sync with her monologue in recap

Both of them are given dialogs with hidden meanings 😊
Even when Arshi said she can’t understand his actions, he dropped a hint ‘ mujhe samajhna itna easy nahin hai’

let’s hope we don’t become poore paagal trying to decipher their inner feelings

Makes me think Goddy ji was right..

Is he thinking he adopted her or what??

In such a case, he should be doing bgc of taklu uncle right.. he doesn’t trust Shrishti.. but he wants to go shopping 🤦🏼‍♀️ or was it a ruse to get her to come out and have some lone time.. and J spoiled it..

He has gone insane… that’s for sure

Koi shaqq? He wants lone time to brainwash her against the wedding 🤪

Anusha ji, I was so upset with Ani’s Social work dialogue that I simply didn’t even feel like uttering his name..I was disgusted to that point with that dialogue..😡 Your update did a great PR job for Ani today..😂 I am still miffed with him..but able to forgive him to some extent after reading your view point..hope he redeems himself soon enough..🤞😊

My reactions were exactly like JK at that point. Very amused to see a guy who is always calm and in control to be so out of his depth when talking about Jhanak's marriage. He cannot even fathom the possibility that she will leave. He always kept making excuses to make her stay and was so alarmed when she left the first time that he chased behind her. And this too even before any of these attachments started taking shape.

Jhanak is his Aadat now. I want to see a scene where he is missing her presence and relaizes how she had quietly become his habit.

After all the dialogues, funny part is I will take Janak for shopping was ultimate 😂

Lol. So funny, you just can't stop yourself can you??

Jhanak gets angry hearing this... why wouldn't she be? You insult her choices one minute and then take her for wedding shopping? Dood,,,, do you hear yourself? Smart Ani kahan gaya?

Their confrontation from the morning continues... it becomes more open as Jhanak is slipping from her composed state of indifference. Her responses are more emotional this time around...

Jhanak is upset at his allegations from the morning and his attitude of extending the fight like a kid also makes her beave like a kid. yeah. That's what these two are... kids fighting with each other. I don't see an ounce of maturity anywhere.

"Tumhare chahne ya na chahne se farak nahi padta hai mujhe"

Ani, you are plain lashing out at this point. I don't have anthing else to say.

He is ready to go shopping with and without Jhanak. I don't understand his thoughts, is he doing this to force himself into believing this marriage is happening? He asks JK and the other Basu ladies and no one is willing to come. They all are worried he will spend a lot of money on this and are puzzled as to why he insist on going shopping?

Poor Jhanak is giving this as an answer not only to JK but also to complain to Ani. She feels like a ragdoll in his hands, tossed and turned around in a whim without a care and is not allowed to exhibit basic humanity at this point. An indirect submission of her feelings towards him after the fight. She wants him to maintain a distance from her and enforce healthy boundaries to save herself.

Again, this conversation is different from the previous ones, whatever pent up emotions Jhanak might have had after the confrontation with Ani are spilling over in her response now which is raising suspicions in others making them probe for the details.

"Agar meri honewale pati mujhe kapde lekar dena chahte hai to mein accept karoongi... lekin jisse meri rishta nahi hai... mein usse kuch nahi loongi"

Jhanak is hurt and again attempts to get back at him by being logical and dignified in her response.

Both of them glare daggers at each other, tensions rising high.... but the point to note is that JK is noticing Ani's reaction keenly.

Before JK could say anything to bite back, Ani stops her and takes charge of the conversation.

Tammi disrupts the conversation and berates Jhanak as Bodomaa supports her... what a vile woman

But before things could escalate, Ani starts ranting. His anger is a sight to behold. Krushal acted this put very well. I physically shuddered man...

"Just shut up... Bahot sunli tumhari...Ab ek shabd aur nahi"

Basically, tit for tat. Again, bruised ego and hurt that she shut him up before. so now taking the chance to shut her up. His anger is through the roof, at himself, at her, and everything around him. Hence, he is venting it out on her.

"Tumhari Shaadi humari ghar se ho rahi hain na.. to tumhari shaadi kaisi hogi, Ye hum decide karenge.."

I can see a hint of his madness and possessiveness over here. He is capable of being controlling in nature and we are getting sneak peeks here.

Arshi is miffed at Ani's relaxed attitude and she rightly questions him.

"Muje Samajhna itna asan nahi hain... Aur jo tumhe zaroorat se zyada hain na? Wo mere liye bahot important hai... Yeh meri family ki prestige ki matter hai"

Why do I feel this is an answer to Jhanak and not JK. I feel he is answering to Jhanak's previous question of who he is to her? and why he is doing this? Again, I feel he is not referring to his family's prestige but his own. And his ego at that.

Jhanak's firm refusal to get anything from him only increases his ire.

"To fekh dhena, tumhara honewala pati ke paas itna paisa hai?? Wo kareedke dega tumhe diamonds... wo laake dega tumhe shadi ke baad kapde"

"Teen din mein shaadi karni thi na, Kash tumhari shadi kal hi ho jati... Atleast mera peecha chutha..."

Ani is in so much turmoil and anguish. He is just lashing out at her and throwing her own words from earlier into her face, making her cry in the process. He wants her to feel the same pain he is feeling at the moment.

He asks JK to accompany him outside.

"Mujhe naa dum gudta hain mere apne ghar mein... mujhe bahar jaana hai"

Poor Ani... You feel suffocated for this much? blaming the outside while it's your inside that is hurting? You cannot comprehend how much worse Jhanak felt the same way till now... Is this your tolerance?

He leaves from there, unbothered to look back at his wife. To see her hurting because of his words and actions...

Today's conversation was much more direct and confrontational... a result of their residual sentiments after the previous spat. There are no monologues and tons of miscommunication rampantly present within the conversation indicative of the fact that they are now not in sync with each other anymore. Their eyes don't speak as they used to. Too direct to the point everyone has started questioning their dynamics, partially spurred by Jhanak's impulsive and emotional questions and responses to them and Ani in particular. JK is keenly noticing Ani's reaction, alarmed by his abnormal and erratic anger.

Jhanak sits on the floor and cries defeatedly. She is upset deeply by the fact that Ani has finally relegated to the position of a maid and callously tossed aside her vulnerability, not understanding the importance it gave him. People only choose to let themselves be vulnerable to their loved ones and it hurts the deepest when those people whom we trust ourselves to either don't value it and trample upon it or exploit it for their benefit. Ani did the former to Jhanak today and she is now taking time to process his reactions.

Bodomaa comes and notices her crying and encourages her to share her feelings at the moment. Jhanak laments to her on how people find it easy to insult her (especially Ani). She also somberly tells her how not even one of her wishes come true. Her remembering her marriage with Ani when Bodomaa talks about her greatest dream signifies a shift in her perspective; she is so overwhelmed by her feelings for Ani that it takes precedence before anything else. Her fanciful notions of being Ani's wife are dreams that to her now can never be fulfilled. I feel and agree with members who said she is in a self-destructive mode, She is. Her mom is dead and the only person she loves is now marrying her sister. Why should she dream about anything else?

She stares into space as Bodomaa speaks about her husband remembering Ani shows she has fully accepted Ani as her husband. Before they can continue, Appu di comes and cutely complains about Jhanak forgetting after her marraige. She cutely talks about small things that Ani did for her... Such a pure and positive soul....

Jhanak tries to hide it to no avail, but Bodomaa upon hearing it only tells Jhanak that Ani is not bad at heart and is confused as to why he behaved so oddly today. He reiterates that he likes Jhanak a lot but Jhanak is not willing to believe it.

"Muj jaise ladkiyon ko pasand nahi karte Bodomaa, taras kaate hain. Kaaz karki aise ghar ke ladke muj jaise ladki par daya karte hain..."

This sums up how Jhanak feels about Ani's feeling for her. How defeated she looks...

This scene was such a good one, to see the mother-daughter bond between Jhanak and Bodomaa.Appu and Bodomaa try to cheer her up by scolding Ani. How cutely Appu di said, mein sabak sikaungi, woh arshi ke saath reh rehkar ganda hogaya hai...

Jhanak promises to take Appu di to her susral.. poor girl is still naive to the dangers in her life. Or is it that she doesn't care?? She tells Bodomaa how she doesn't even know the A about her would be and feels bad about losing control and behaving oddly with Ani and others. The scene ends on a warm note as the three-kind woman embrace each other in support.

On the other side, JK is calmy observing an irrational and agitated Ani with amusement. She comments on how he was never this agitated before. Ani comments on how a girl beneath hsi status is dancing on top of his head...

WTH Ani?? Is this how you really feel about Jhanak? Apne baaton pe kaboo rakho na?

JK just tells him I told you so.... And sirji ko Jhanak ke baare mein baat nahi karni hai. HE orders two Americano. Yeah. That's what you need right now.... Rather get some ice and bury your head in it to cool down you a*hole.

Ye sirf baatein gol gol ghumata hai...

"Mein agar jawab de paungi to dedungi zarroor... "

"Tumhe Kya lagta hai..."

But JK is too sharp and unbothered at his attempts. She lays it out thick that she also like others feel Ani likes Jhanak more than they think and asks him straight why he goes to long lengths to do things for her. Why she acts so familar with him? How does she have the courage?

"Mein kaise keh sakthi hoon... tumhe to sabkuch patha hai humare baare mein"

Stay delulu Ani boi.

He goes on a spiel about how he was forced to bring her here and how he helped her out of goodwill. But JK is having none of it. She flatly says if it was someone else, they wouldn't even bring her here... Exactly.

She states how she got affected when he misbehaved with Jhanak and not when he helped her many times.

Ani gets riled up by her questions and blurts out his actual feelings lol for JK to see in plain sight.

"Wo ameer aadmi ke saat shadi kar rahi hain na... wo humari standard aur uski standard same samajne lagu hai..... par mujhe koi farakh nahi padta ki uski pati ho ameer ya gareeb ho... "

Ye hui na baat. It does affect him. That's why his voice got unintentionally raised as he kept speaking about Jhanak's would-be Taklu uncle husband.

Jk just watches him in amusement and remarks how he is different now.

"Ani tum maano ya na maano... Jhanak ki shaadi hone se tumhe bura lagta hai"

"Mein Jhanak se haar nahi maana chahthi"

"Woh kuchi din mein shaadi karke chale jayegi isliye mein issue nahi create karna chahti"

"Bas soch rahi hoon ki tum Jhanak ke barein mein kitna sochti ho"

"You really care for her"

"Tum mujhe jo samjane ki koshish kar rahi ho na... mein usse zyada samjhti hoon"

Maharani is casually spitting facts today... wah wah wah... I am shocked

Ani's replies are so funny and out of control that even JK finds it funny.

"Mein thodi naa pure zindagi uski kyaal raknewali..."

We all know you want to... even JK at this point man.

"it was just a project.... mein usse social work ki tarah leti hoon"

"Lekin mein acha bartaav karth rahunga aur wo mujhe bezzat kare...aisa nahi chalega..."

Akhir ye bhol hi diya ki usse kis cheez se hurt hota hai... boi longs for her to speak lovingly just as she does. Dono buddu hai...

Ani directly drinks the coffee as JK comments how he has changed in his habits... she complains about how he doesn't spend time with her anymore. Ani tries to pacify her but she is not falling into the trap. She clearly tells him that she is not misunderstanding him... but wants him to know one thing. That she won't lose to a random girl like Jhanak.

This entire conversation looked like that between two friends with one venting out his frustrations about his wife to another. JK clearly knows at this point Ani doesn't care about her as he used to. She is also choosing to be delulu about the status of Ani's feelings like Ani himself is... The way she warned him shows to me she won't leave his life. Her love has now turned into obsession and she will have him by any means regardless of whether he likes it or not. But she is still not fully understanding Ani's nature. That man cannot be controlled by anything or anyone; the only thing remotely capable of controlling him is Jhanak herself. He will burn the world down for her if she does so much as an Ishara towards him. That's how possessive and subservient he is towards her...

Precap: The one Anju said....

Like asusual you penned everything very beautifully....

Even I also had mixed feelings after watching episode..

Yesterday I was angry on Ani...but today I felt pity on him..

For Jhanak, I had tears...when she is sitting alone in her room and crying, I just wanted to give her a tight hug and want to comfort her.

Loved Bodomaa and Jhanak scene..their convo was like b/n a mother and daughter...

Appu di was cute...and had fbs of Ani..missing that sweet Ani..
