Is Juhi lying or in denial?

I have been thinking on this baby daddy debate of Neil and Vidyut. Who is the Father of this kid? I think we are all zoning in on Vidyut being the Father. There is clearly a lot of angst in Vidyut, and that sculpture took things to the next level. He has anger issues and hatred towards women. It feels like he has been disappointed and betrayed by a woman in the past which has made him bitter. There has to be a reason why he is the way he is.

There is a lot more to the Juhi-Vidyut back story from what I understand. I wonder if they knew each other before her accident, and not after? Was he in love with her, and wanted to "attain her in any way? I always wondered if he had seen her somewhere while she was dating Neil and become obsessed with her. The accident was his idea, and the fake death? Or is it more than this? They actually had a relationship in the past, then they met again by chance and he found out about Neil and wanted revenge? In a moment of rage he forces himself on her? This results in the pregnancy. Then the accident, and her fake death which enables him and his Mother to hide her. He blames her for what he did, and hates her for making him fall in his own estimation. He keeps Mishti as a reminder of his failure? Or because he can't make himself part with his child who is also Juhi's? Does he still love her, if he ever did? This is all very Psyche 101 here! Vidyut is the key to this whole mystery, and until we hear his side of the story we won't know the truth.

Coming to Juhi, is she pretending to herself this child is Neil's? The night they got engaged they had a lot of champagne? She thinks something happened, and after her "encounter with Vidyut when she found out she was pregnant, she pretended to herself that the child was Neil's? It enabled her to continue to live in RM, and tolerate everything with the hope of being reunited with her child and maybe even Neil? She did not want to accept that maybe Vidyut is the Father of her child? Most likely is? I think THIS may be what is going on? She told Neil that she got pregnant on their engagement night, and he accepted what she said because he had no way of "refuting it. It's not gentlemanly to question a woman when she says you had sex with her and she got pregnant as a result. We know Neil would NEVER call Juhi a liar and deny he is the Father. This is why we love Neil so much in the first place.

If Juhi is indeed not a negative character, then the thing that makes most sense is that as a way of coping with her trauma she has told herself this story of how Neil is the Father of her child. Because she does not have the strength to face the truth or the actual reality of situation. The alternative is not tolerable to her. She has spent years in a captivity situation where her life's choices have been taken from her. If she has developed some sort of psychosis to deal with her reality, it's understandable. Also having her child taken from her soon after she was born would have caused her to go into depression. I feel her mental state is not sound or stable, and she needs some serious intervention. This track could be really good if they handle this issue in the right way.

These are some of my thoughts after the last few episodes. I would love to know your thoughts.

Why do i feel juhi has been cheating neil while she was in a relationship ..

When that "spoiler" article came out about Juhi being raped I thought maybe that is why she has convinced herself this is Neil's child but then I saw her reaction in the past two episodes that aired this week and it was clear she was hiding something. Poonam may not be the best actress but I feel she did convey the guilt her character is conveying, she is aware that she has not been honest with Neil and his family and the question is why? If she were raped why not tell Neil the truth? It is not like Neil would back out from helping her, he would sympathize with her and help her reunite with her child.

Then you have Neil, lets just say whatever he told Neela is right then why the act? Why is he purposely misleading his family and Juhi as well? Neil seems to purposely be telling Juhi things she would want to hear, why do that when you know her mental state of mind? There are things that are not adding up here especially when you factor in Vidyut, why is this child so important to him? I doubt he would be keeping Mishti just to spite Juhi nor would he be keeping a memory of her betrayal with another man had this really been Neil's child. Vidyut does not even correct Avni whenever she refers to Mishti as his child, even the housekeeper is under the belief this is Vidyut's child so yes there is more to the story than we know.

Going by the theory if Neil is the father why should Juhi beg or at least I felt she was . Didn't she beg him to find her child when she revealed him the truth ? Time and again I would say there was no sync between the muted and unmuted audio of Juhi's conversation with Neil or at least it seemed so to me . If he is indeed father of the child why should she be guilty or what should she be guilty for in front of family ? Whenever she says it's hers and Neil's we can see her guilty . Secondly , whenever Neil mentions Avni we can see her jealous . With Neil egging her hopes she has started craving more for him . Is it not ? If it's Neil's child then why would Vidyut have it ? And if it's the case is Juhi fooling Vidyut that it's his child . Without a strong past connection neither Vidyut would have retained the child nor Juhi would have been the Kohinoor . She was never sold too . Also why should Neil mislead the family ESP Neela .

Vidhyut and juhi is definitely having some past connection...vidhyut is a negative character not a selfless man or mahaan to accept Mishti as his daughter in front of the world if the kid is actually Neil's.. We need wait and watch wat their actual story is..Rite now it seems like Vidhyut have more valid reason to have such bitterness and hatred for women in his life ...more possibilities for juhi to ditch him for Neil ..vidhyut definitely have love and care for his daughter...or else it might be a one side love frm vidhyut for juhi and since he is a villain he might forced himself on juhi which leads to her pregnancy ..If thts the case then why he feels tht women are not trust worthy and not worth for a relationship ??

Honestly speaking I don't want cvs to concentrate on the complications of Juhi's mental state and how she will cope with it as she is not the female lead, already enough episodes have been wasted on her. Just make her negative, show that she cheated Vidyut and is now playing with emotions of Avneil and their family and show her the exit door from AvNeil's life. If she stays positive and is shown as victim then AvNeil will have to carry her burden till she dies or till the show ends. One of the lead's ex hovering on AvNeil's relationship with a sympathy card will not let us enjoy AvNeil's story.

If you cut off all the spoilers, Juhi comes across as a meek and weak person who has no willpower or courage. Starting from the beginning, she always relied on someone else to help her (maybe because of majboori, whatever). After the RM rescue, she has created this 'bachao bachi' drama and is literally clinging to Neil to rescue her baby. There can only be few possibilities.
