Other than her mother and perhaps dadda (when he was at home, and this was infrequent coz he was mostly away in jungles / fighting the system), she hasn’t sought out to be comforted and cared for by anyone else. To all Tripathi’s (ex-husband included), the equation was always a giving one, never a seeking one.
To me this scene is therefore piognant. Her conscious mind may harp about BS nonstop but deep-down…she feels the same freedom and comfort with Aryan as she does with her mom / dadda. And THAT’s a mind-blowingly positive thing that drowns out all noise. :-)
