.....they gave it the cover of "confusion" for very long but that doesn't change that his actions were veering into two-timing territory only. LOL no matter how much I like Ani as a character, I'm not blind to what they've shown.
Since we are again talking about aag track, ek baat ka answer de do aap....lol you don't think it was character degradation that after everything he said to Jhanak in Kashmir, the moment aag track happened and Jhanak leaving after all the humiliation and accusations she faced....he found it so easy to go back to ILU Arshi, humara forever wala rishta, tum hi meri humsafar yeh woh blah blah fake speeches that he maaroed in the SR scene? That was all genuine?
No, that was degradation only....to show him as a weak indecisive man who finds it so easy to chant ILU like it means nothing
. When Arshi confronted him in the SR scene, then also he was just given weak spineless monologues in his head while outwardly he kept lying to Arshi to pacify her.....lol that was not degradation that he was lying even when he knew it wasn't it his truth?
.....yes it was all covered up under "confusion" for very long but it doesn't change the truth of what those actions were.
If he was really genuine about wanting to move on with Arshi, why not ever complete the shaadi rituals with her? Again an example of portraying him as a man who wants to have it both ways....ki shaadi puri nahin ki but Arshi ko wife bolte raho and Jhanak saamne aa jaaye toh Kashmir waali shaadi ka bhi vaasta de do
But chalo yeh sab past ki baatein....we thought maybe Leena finally wanted to uplift him a bit so gave him concrete dialogues for once about how having a near death experience gives you the COURAGE to speak your TRUTH....that you STOP hesitating then....just few days back, this is the Ani we were seeing

And now suddenly it's back to maut and akelepan ka darr
....and uski wajah se suddenly Arshi ke saamne kamzor bhi ho gaye
So what else is there to conclude but degradation again only? Just that this time the window has shifted a bit ki Ani made so many bold declarations of love for Jhanak that he can't jump back to ILU Arshi so instead they are trying to give it a milder label of "kamzori" but basically still implying the same thing ki Jhanak chali jaati hai toh Ani can easily revert back to being weak in front of Arshi and going along with whatever people demand of him
I have explained my pov in my recent post I tagged you. Please check it out...
As for yesterday's dialogues I'm still not sure what the makers intentions were... I need to see where it goes...
And as for character degradation, Ani is trying to move on with Arshi, with whom he has a very long relationship and that too when Aniruddh is in a state where he fell out of love with her and realised he has feelings for someone who doesn't respect his feelings and BLAMED him for EVEN having these feelings and consistently pushed him towards Arshi...
He himself is questioning his feelings because firstly he's in a very complicated situation and noone's there to give him clarity nor to support him or tell him it's ok that it's not wrong that he fell out of love and he need not feel guilty about it...
Why? Because when the person who beared his soul to herself rejected him and made him question everything, whats the point of sharing his pain with someone else?
He is in an extremely confused situation where just because he tried to have the courage to bear his heart inspite of his own misgivings and still got rejected brutally which broke him and made him question his own feelings, courage and morality.
As for his dialogues during SR, ARSHI'S LEGS ARE BURNT AND SHE'S IN WHEELCHAIR AND IS EXTREMELY DEPRESSED. And as per his then state, he like every other time managed the situation by trying to say what she wants to hear... You can tell he's not telling what HE wants but what SHE wants by his body language, expression and monologue very clearly...
And as for kashmir, he dared to be COMPLETELY honest with his feelings because his brain is addled with fever as per the makers narrative. When he was in full hosh later in their home, you can see it was very hard for him to say even half of what he said in Kashmir, that's the biggest hint of his mental state actually... When he was in full hosh, even in his most vulnerable state he didn't have the total courage to say his feelings boldly... That's a very big hint...
But now, he finally got complete clarity and he DECIDED to separate with Arshi, with or without Jhanak in his life...
There is a very clear charcter ARC and complete justification until his yesterday's dialogues....
That's the reason I don't believe they never meant to show him as a flipper or they NEVER degraded his character until now....
And now If They showed him spouting this nonsense without any strong reason, THEN that's UTTER CHARACTER DEGRADATION in my pov ...
Baaki dekhte he...
Again, sorry for the long post...
