Dibya,
Waise AY & Nina have responded to this point already based on how Leena is using the periphery of itv to manage her love storyโฆ.. jisme shaadi is footnote ๐๐๐
I donโt think I can respond to this query of sensibilities.. . about what is justifiedโฆ for you their dalliance is wrong becos their marriage brokeโฆbut she isnโt making a serial based on one kind of sensibility ๐๐ so she is managing based on a periphery like Jo tumko ho pasand wahi baat kahenge ๐๐๐ where the tumko is a wider audienceโฆ
If as a writer, I am asked to justify the serialโฆ I would sayโฆ
Is a relationship sacrosanct because one is married?
Is a relationship sacrosanct becos two people treat it as significant/important to mean something
Is a relationship sacrosanct because people spent time together whether incompatible or not?
Just playing the devilโs advocate hereโฆ
Within this serial they got Ani to meet Jhanak under difficult circumstances while almost betrothed to Arshiโฆ Ani-Jhanak were forcibly married but they kept denying the marriage which was completed ritually and therefore a valid marriage under law. Hypothetically, they could have applied for an annulment & Ani could have continued supporting Jhanak in her endeavours, considering Jhanak as his responsibility and their meetings could have continued; if Ani continued meeting Jhanak, Pyaar toh tab bhi ho sakta thaโฆ
& those meetings would have still caused a furoreโฆ becos why would a fiancรฉ generally accept her hubby to-be to be so involved in a young girlโs life? Kalesh toh tab bhi hota. Ani and Arshi would have fought/reconciled/married etc
in a wayโฆserial main almost aisa hi huaโฆ situation aaj wahi hainโฆ if you watch closely.
Itโs just that Leena looked at a way in which more sensibilities are assuaged or managed so she made the two fall in love under the wedded umbrella and saara kalesh manage kiyaโฆ phir dono ki annulment karvayiโฆKalesh ki wajah Arshi ko in the equation main aise rakha ki kuch viewers Confujiya gaye ki Arshi kya hain? 
Kalesh ki badi wajah rakha aur story ko chala rahi hain kyunki Ani babu Arshi ko pehle bata nahin paaye ki use Jhanak se pyaar hain and Arshi apna pound of flesh ke liye wait kar rahi hainโฆ
Lekin is sab main Lovebirds are enjoying cos Leena says pyaar kiya toh darna kya?
