my two pence
Whatever be the trajectory of this story, until the time I completely switched off from the tale I connected to the fact
Ani has made efforts for this love story to survive… he had a delayed start and he muddled along the way but apart from his blind spot with regard to Arshi atm, his arc has grown.
Jhanak cottoned to love early but due to various issues, she has regressed in this story to be unable to recognise where things started to go downhill…it’s ok I recognised that she had more issues but at some point the character picks up the threads of her life and learns along the way.. to change her ways, take charge, disintegrate whatever.. not just run and hop on to the next truck on the road..not go from frying pan to fire.
for me the issue isn’t that she hasn’t fought until a point… it’s my frustration (obviously at the writer) that they have stunted her arc to the point that now nothing makes sense. She kept things at bay, she lost in a way that she finds it difficult to accept that love is lost…ok fair enough she is frustrated… but where is the reflection for her actions? Is she completely blameless so why the frustration only about Ani’s actions not hers? Is that great realisation coming for this character? Or never? ( knowing Leena I doubt she intends to give her introspection?
