Jhanak Written Update And Episode Discussion thread No 💯 - Page 40

If you take away the horrid storyline and just want to see Runak - they still come through beautifully. What a shame Leena killed them on screen.

Ani saying nothing is in his hands, everything is in God's hands. Is he saying his tolerance of Arshi and feeling sorry for her and forever begging her to stay at BH had nothing to do with her getting pregnant with his child. He is acting like he had zero mistake in this and he is a victim and God made all this happen to him, when he did nothing accountable for this mistake or his kismat.

Its crazy if J expected Ani to abstain when married to Arshi; but here Ani himself claimed he did not have a physical relationship with Arshi to J and furthermore a couple of episodes ago he said he did not cheat J. He is not accepting Arshi took advantage of him, he is saying he must have taken advantage of Arshi in his monologues; so then how is it Ani did not cheat J. Either he took advantage of Arshi or she did of him or both were intoxicated and still it was a mistake because you drank and came home to a woman you did not love; yet were unable to let go every time she wanted to walk out. How is he saying ist not his fault, when he married Arshi saying it was his fault and not hers. Zero introspection or taking accountabilty for his inability to stand up for his love.

All these days - he is an adult, before pregnancy there was no real hold on him to marry Arshi except his own sense of zimmedhari. To say he was helpless does not cut it. If there were other aspects of story to back up his lack of choice or justifies his laachaari ok. Here his helplessness is caused by his own sense of zimmedhari. So this I was majboor dialog - does not hold any water. There was no external force causing his decisions; only his own priority he assigned over his responsibility and love. After weighing both options - prioritizing Arshi zimmedhari over Jhanak love consciously always and in all consciousness then saying he had no choice is the most stupid thing I have ever heard in my life. Saying this is what I stand for - zimmedhari over love and I made my choice is the right way to put it. Not to pick zimmedhari - yet go running to J to say - I did not cheat you - pls. Did he not make clear to J, he would have anyway married Arshi in Gujarat.

Even with Vihaan how is Ani not embarrased in the fact that he has told Vihaan he loves J and yet rejected her because he wanted to do right by Arshi as he slept with her while in love with J. Because Ani is a man - noone makes him feel ashamed for this. Yet J is made to look really bad at all times. Did Ani not claim he loved J and only J - so he did that while he was sleeping with Arshi. Why to date - neither Choton nor Bodoma or Appu di or anyone questioned Ani's behavior? If you see Choton Bodoma Appu are all happy when any Ani J incident happens though they all know he slept with Arshi and is having a baby - nonsense show.

Ani's character is mostly people pleaser or he can also be characterised as a decent person who has empathy for others pain. As Arshi said that he wanted to balance Arshi and J, but he cant to it anymore. He was unable to get physically close to Arshi but could not let her go either. J was very clear that she cannot break a home, but he didn't get it, so eventually she spelt it out, it has to be his decision to break with Arshi, if he ever wants to approach her.

It was Krushal's acting that Ani did not come across as bi-gamist. But his dialogues "do hisso mein bata" hai dil, Arshi tumko accept karna ho ga ki J se hamesha pyara karunga, and then asking her to stay back. Even the night Arshi - Ani argued which led to J leaving for the airport he very clearly told/bartered with Arshi that helping J in her time of need and he will start parivar with her. J heard that and left with iska kuch nahi hone wala. J had early on realized the dilemma Ani faces and she took the "mahanta" route, because this man do hisso mein hi bata rahega.

While Krushal protected Ani's image, now the writer is making Jhanak break it by claiming she considers the marriage valid. K's screen space is also reduced and he is muted him as well. I think what the writer couldn't force K, they are making Hiba accomplish it.

Every dialogue can be cherry picked that way. The convo you are quoting also had Ani clearly telling Arshi that if she ever fell in love with anyone else, he would break up with her. That whole convo he kept repeating that he loves Jhanak and Arshi is welcome to leave if she wants. Arshi was the one putting words in his mouth that he loves both and he is not giving Arshi azaadi.

And Jhanak’s monologue in that convo was that she knows Ani loves only her and that is enough for her to live the rest of her life…she looks like the bigger fool running back to Ani if she really thinks he wants to stay with Arshi 🙄 …what is your explanation then for all the taunts J directs at Arshi that she was only able to marry Ani cuz J stepped back? If J really thinks Ani wants to go to Arshi anyways, how does J’s stepping back make any difference? You are giving so much logic to Jhanak’s senseless running away which she does cuz she’s a coward above all else and doesn’t have the guts to fight for her rights but would rather stew in self pity and portraying herself as abla.

For every “dil do hisso mein bata hai” dialogue, there is also a dialogue of Ani clearly saying he has never been able to love anyone after Jhanak and Arshi se pyar karne ki KOSHISH karta hai but doesn’t love her….so why is that not factored into these sweeping analyses of Ani? 🤷‍♀️

Ani has been shown actively avoiding Arshi other than doing her caretaking in her beemari etc….so from which angle does it look like he is seeking some comfort or happy life with her? He is sacrificing his own happiness to people please and that is constantly being interpreted as two timing. I don’t consider the proclamations of the females in this story valid unless anyone calls out their raging hypocrisy. Jhanak ke judgements pass karne se woh mere liye toh fact nahin ban jayega. But others here are welcome to buy into Leena’s daily gaslighted narrative…seems like a daily activity like clockwork. lol

Underlined - Perfect pull together of Ani's characterization I have seen to date. Pulled together what i feel succintly.

Bold - Bingo - that barter of Ani with Arshi was so gross. No one can really accept that character flaw of Ani - how much ever Leena tried to underline most people were given him a pass. And J understood his charcter always...hence the mazbooth tree reference and other taunts. J understands sirji and in a way somehow respects him for his inabilty to move away from Arshi as much as she finds it hard to digest. Thats why I feel even if they expose Arshi now, J will not take Ani. She will try to hopefully grow. This is the best path forward for the story at this time

Love for Krushal and admiration for his superb acting; the start of his characterization; and the clear diff in the way Ani looks at Jhanak vs. Arshi; viewers could not see him doing anything wrong. Instead there we have excuses like Leena is making him do this. Leena is making everyone do what they are doing. There is no wrong in her story - that is the ghatiya story. He was always

Now - Leena is making J voice out things she has not been able to stick on Ani.

So much writing issues. Ani's wedding to Arshi - they made J put haldi on him - no one cared she was amrried or not...now big hungama.

Yesterday J told Arshi meri badaulath you have izzat in this house. Today Vihaan is asking Ani why did you reject Jhanak? What are we even watching?

Priya, from what I understand, Ani is a kind-hearted man who cannot bear to see others in pain. He went out of his way to help Jhanak, staying with her after her mother's passing to provide emotional support. When he learned of her kidnapping, he attempted to rescue her, and circumstances eventually led to their marriage. Ani could have abandoned Jhanak at the railway station, but instead, he brought her home, believing Arshi would support him. Unfortunately, Arshi did not. Ani's primary goal was to provide Jhanak with basic necessities like shelter, food, and support. Later, he aimed to help her succeed in her career. In the process, he unknowingly fell for Jhanak. Ani always focused on the present, never thinking about the future, which is why he is suffering now. Until their Kashmir marriage, there was no indication that Ani was hesitant to be physically close to Arshi.

He only thought that keeping Arshi happy would lead to Arshi and his family allowing Jhanak to stay with him, but he failed to consider the practicality of the situation. He never thought about why Arshi would agree to let Jhanak stay or why Jhanak would want to stay in his house.

Mayuri this is a very simplistic explanation for a very complex tale.

Ani was 100% attracted to J from day 1. Whether he was self aware to realize it - I dont know, but he certainly did tell J in his dream he fell for her day 1. Arshi has said it - that Ani fell for J since he saw her in Kashmir. This whole story of keeping her with him for humanity sake is hogwash, when you see they clearly show Ani jealous of Rahul from Day 1.

Early days of J in Ani's house - he reacts violently to the thought of J and Rahul. Is it only because he thought J and Rahul made a fool of him? really? Everytime he goes close to Arshi and hugs her - you see him thinking about Jhanak. Ani was compelled towards J. He fought it consciously. When J is with Adi and Ani comes to his room, he is saying - the life I had imagined for us. The way he presents her gifts on the day of their phone shaadi, says its their rasam. When is desperate for her to keep her red sari and the shirt she poured chinese food on, for her to accept his first gift that he hides and buys for J, holi acting for others so she can be spared, the way he looks at her when she danced in his office party, the way he looked at her in her interview when she was doing the dance ad, the way he sings at Avinash wedding, then tells J is big bhoj to Arshi you are telling me Ani never realized he was attracted to her - only wanted to help her. The guy had bipolar disorder. Its clear. Must be the most stupid ML or delusional ML in the history of ITV..for this zero level of introspection. Show this serial to a 5 year old kid and they will break down the emotions at play in this show. If Ani is claiming ignorance to his feelings its merely an author using that as expediency.

Edited: There is a clear difference between the way you act when you feel sorry for someone and love someone. When you feel sorry for someone you dont imagine you are doing your wedding rasam with them and getthem gifts ... you keep them at a distance and help with monetory things - not exchange marriage wows seriously.

Ani could have got someone else to say those vows, he reacted badly when J asked if Rahula would say those vows and said they were not married.

As far as I can tell, Ani saying "Bhagwaan ki marzi se ho raha hai sab" doesn't mean he is waiting for Bhagwaan to reunite him with Jhanak.....he is simply saying that bizarre things have gone in his life for so long that he is now resigned to the oddity and taking everything as God's will.....if God still wants him to run into Jhanak even after getting him married to Arshi, then he is just accepting that as God's will.....kuch alag se nahin kar raha to try and form a relationship with Jhanak....he is taking everything as a stroke of fate.

Yes, he is a people pleaser and unfortunately seems beholden to the baggage of a past long term relationship....but he has made his stance quite clear that he can never cut off from caring about Jhanak....if people still want to forcefully demand a rishta with him, then why is there no expectation of personal responsibility from them and only Ani is bashed? Where is the cheating when he has made his stance clear about the limits of his duty and what will always be in his heart? They all compel him to do their bidding and when he inevitably lies to pacify them with fake ILUs etc, then they pounce on him ki ohhh you cheater, we all know you love Jhanak only....lol waah bhai

Just like Jhanak doesn't run out of her "mann se pati" dialogue repetition and Ani doesn't run out of his "kuch bhi mere control mein nahin hai" dialogues, some people here can never stop chanting "Ani wants both" even NOW after everything that has happened in the story

Bold: I don't understand why they are even watching a show where ML is a 2 timer according to them? .....and he started uttering this "mere kuch control main nahi hai" dialogues after running for her for f**ing 400 episodes. Begging her to accept him accept this marriage. But what he got in return?

Jhanak lied to him about her death....was fine living alone with her dad, Then lied again that she's married, she was the one who manipulated all the situations in her favours....got slapped by destiny and now is back to BH claiming uske liye woh shaadi Sachi thi chahe koi or inkaar kar de 👏👏👏👏. Yeah okay 👍....we are not idiots who forgot what happened in the last 400 episodes where Ani told her he wants to end his relationship with arshi and she threatened him and he'll never see her face if he did that. Lol we can also cherry picked her dialogues but refuse to entertain something so idiotic.

Oh and in Gujrat Ani told her yes he would have chose Arshi coz of baby.....coz for him she was a MARRIED woman. Didn't wanted to create problems for her and his friend lol itni basic chiz nahi samajh ayi .

I am not saying Ani is a two timer. I am saying Ani has a problem in giving up either of 2 women - Arshi and J. He is not actively cheating on one with the other. He wants to please both. The way he felt so hard pressed to leave Arshi in her home after choosing to marry J to protect her - is a clear indicator that even though he loves J - he cannot bear the thought of failing his zimmedhari. Between love and zimmedhari he always chooses it consciously - so he should not say he has no control. God is pushing love on him, but he always chooses zimmedhari. He cannot say he has no control. Of course he does thats why he gets to choose one of the two. God did not force him to to take zimmedhari. He chose it even if it meant leaving his love.

I really don't able to understand this debate of who is more right / wrong in Ani Jhanak case honestly 😂

Both are in this condition due to their wrong decisions.

Jhanak didn't accept the marriage until Ani HA track is understandable because Ani didn't openly admit his feelings as he was bound with family pressure and Arshi also. Post HA track Jhanak ranting same thing again and again to not break someone house is completely stupidity when she herself saw how her pyari didi treated her love and left him to die on roads

Meanwhile Ani flips was always shown to viewers in bad light...the kind of dialogues kamzori / do hisse of dil is just to portray him as he wants both meanwhile if someone has analysed the complexity of his character will easily able to get the right meaning of these dialogues

It was always Arshi who started her victim play each time whenever situation wanted Ani and Jhanak to be together. The fact is or will always be there that both are in guilt towards Arshi that's it. The guilt of Jhanak if she didn't come then Ani and Arshi will be leading a good life that's why she kept running and Ani's guilt of how can he fall out of love to Arshi

Until Ani will not analyse that he was never in love with Arshi at all. The feeling of love he felt after Jhanak came into his life because the kind of heart he is having the same kind hearted girl Jhanak is. And until Jhanak will not realise that some bonds are written in destiny / Bghwan ki marzi, uspar she cannot chalao her jor everytime of being bhagna from her reality just to keep her Arshi didi happy. Ani is and will always be her destiny no matter Arshi will there in picture or not

First thing I had never seen love b/n Ani chi... but the story narration says thst indeed Ani loved her.

We all had seen his attraction towards j since the moment he had seen her at first time. Infact car accident scene ...his eyes not left her.

In my above explanation I only spoke about Ani thinking process. He only thinks about present..only short term goals. Never ready for confrontations...has the habit of brushingoff the things.
