I have the same POV. Only a wooden piece in her shoes will remain silent after accusations being pinned on day in and day out of the vilest order. Thief, Greedy, Homewrecker... are some examples. She is reacting like someone backed into a corner. Even an animal will lash out, Jhanak is human after all. Could the execution have been handled better? Yes definitely. But it is not nice of Ani to drop her like hot potatoes in a sticky situation and tell lies to cover his ass up. Yeah, he is doing it for her career success, but then again did she ask someone to do this for her? You cannot justify with the reason "She doesn't know any better". He could have handled this differently too, the way he is reacting sometimes makes me feel he is infantilizing Jhanak. The exact same happened during the time he without her knowledge brought her to Guruji. We all saw what happened. But people only supported Ani at that time, because his intent to help was being rudely refused. I feel people back Ani up because he is the sweeter of the two currently. Ani was behaving exactly the same and even cussed her mother when he did not know why Jhanak insulted him even if it was for his own good. We still don't know when he recognized her till now. Only the reaction after her reveal. But we were all okay with his reaction to some extent. Why not Jhanak? I know this is a hot take. But this is what I feel has happened.
Its well said Anusha .
I feel its the performance that is making it horrible . Anirudh on the hand is rude but his eyes dont show that anger and his little nods and body language . So we feel he is sweeter. Even initially when Jhanak used to behave rudely her rudeness was on point . She lost her mother and all the incidents and when she reached here she faced insult daily .
For me its the way of execution or performance that makes Jhanak look bad even though its Anirudh who should be at the receiving end .
