Why Aditya's 10 minutes with Jhanvi was key

I really have to appreciate the writers for what they did. Jhanvi did the right thing by cutting herself off and trying to move away and go on. While they teased that Jhanvi may go inside the house while Baba was having his breakdown, etc, she never ends up going in. And she continues to ignore Aditya's calls.

In all of this, Jhanvi is right. Because there comes a point in romantic love where you cannot just give, give, give, help, help, help--and fall deeper, become more entangled and hurt yourself further.

But Aditya showed up and asked for 10 minutes. What he needed those 10 minutes for was key. If Jhanvi had picked up his calls, it would not have made clear whether he needs her for her 'super helping/problem solving skills' or whether he needs her as a companion. If Jhanvi had walked into the house that morning, again she would clearly be the problem solver for Adi and the family.

I am not saying Aditya thinks of Jhanvi only his problem solver and not his friend or companion. He sees her as a companion and friend whom he can always turn to and who will help him in his problems.

But what was made clear with Aditya's visit, is that Jhanvi does hold a high place in Aditya's life and heart. He turned up at her door not for help, not for ideas on how to solve his newest problem, but simply because he needed to confide in her and talk to her. He doesn't tell her about Nisha's blackmail (because if he had she would not have been surprised when Babasa told her), but sought her out and needed to talk to her just to tell her of what had happened to his daughter and pour out his grief of all that's happening.

And then after he left Jhanvi's he calls Nisha and agrees to have her back. Because he needed to get some sort of comfort with Jhanvi's presence before subjecting himself to the defeat/hell.

So today, when Jhanvi goes back to Aditya's house. It is because she has seen that not only does Aditya and his family need her help, but that Aditya himself needs her, Jhanvi.

Totally agree with you. Aditya was totally broken & needed some energy, comfort whatever you say to accept the reality. He can't show his pain, anger in front of his family because he cares for them but he really gets some strength to face the problem from Jhanvi.
I totally agree with Jhanvi's mothers words that he didn't know what he feels for her. But he really needs her. In the meeting he didn't asked her why she didn't pick her call or why she is behaving like this but only tell her what happened to him. It was the best scene of yesterday's episode.

^ Yes, I watched that scene a few times. And today the look between them when Aditya saw Jhanvi, then again in Babasa's room where he quietly just remembers asking her to stay and going to her the night before.

Not quite sure what he was thinking, but somehow I think he realizes she didn't leave due to him.

^^Beautiful analysis. You have gone even deeper and I agree.

Aditya and Jhanvi have talked outside her house like that a few times, but here it tells so much more. Also, Adi stopped her from giving any answer or explanation when he said she wasn't picking up his calls. He wasn't there to ask why or question it, like you said.

And today, Aditya the way he seemed to be either slowly realizing something, or seeing Jhanvi in a new light as you said. I watched it a few times. It's just really beautiful.

Poor guy is just getting over an awful marriage- they all need to give him time. I think the last thing on his mind right now should be re-marriage - his emotions are probably in turmoil and his priority is his children. Janvi and Baba should just be his friend and support for now- im sure his feelings will start to grow in a different direction, given time and space

^^ I agree, Babasa was too early in bringing up marriage for Adi, let alone to Adi. Jhanvi and her mother also should have realized and pointed that out.

Jhanvi's decision to confess was not wise, either.

However, her reactions after hearing Adi say he won't get remarried is understandable and just. Because Babasa had brought hope to her, whereas earlier she had not any expectation and hope. She only realized earlier what she would have realized later on anyway. That she keeps falling in love with him, and it's not good for her to be in this situation.

Now that she's back, things should just happen as they happen in its own time and space.

All that being said, I hope we see Jhanvi working, or at least let us know that she's working. Is she still 'caretaker' of Babasa? Is that her work, now?

And this subplot of Jhanvi 'moving' ended nicely today.

I believe Aditya knew she wasn't leaving, and simply was getting confirmation. I really do appreciate the character of Aditya, how mature he is and how he phrased it. He let her answer him in the negative, hence continuing the unimposing nature of his visit the night earlier.

And Jhanvi gave a complete answer that she wasn't going anywhere and not leaving him. :)

I agree that Babasa shouldn't have brought up the topic of remarriage so quickly. I was flabbergasted when he first said it. I was like "Seriously dude? The guy just got rid of his first wife. He hasn't even divorced her. And you're asking about remarriage? You're f----ing mad."

Just love what you have written, & how beautifully you have explained the total emotions out there.👏
