Even today she manipulated her father into not interfering in Jhanak’s wedding. That was cruel, her dad was really concerned for Jhanak.
She wants to get rid of Jhanak period!

Yes I felt she was manipulating her to agree to the wedding, so that she goes away from Ani forever.

The way she told choton "ye meri or meri behen ke beech ki baat hai", yes behen based on convenience

Exactly...

And the way she assured her mother, clearly shows that She just manipulated J.

A good episode after the dud yesterday.... theme of the episode is Communication.... bahot naya nahi ? for this show??

Terms for people: Naagin bhabhi- Bipasha, Senior Kardashian/SK- Shrishti, Junior Kardashian/JK- Arshi

The episode starts with JK dragging her maid cum sis and Chotton following them on Ani's insistence. I was half expecting JK to blow her lid off on Jhanak, but I was pleasantly surprised. She instructs Jhanak to not back off of the marriage and marry whoever SK finds for her. As Chotton tries to interject, she shuts Chotton up by saying its between sisters.. Hain?; I hated how she had such a superiority complex. Jhanak asks her not to worry and tells her she will do as she promised. I feel for the first time JK and Jhanak talked openly throughout the entire time they have known each other. It was actually quite nice, JK stated her fears out openly and Jhanak reassures her by insisting she knows how much Ani and JK love each other....

As we all discussed in the forum below, and from my opinion, JK is to a certain extent gullible to influence, also the kind of person who is good to people as long as things go her way, as apparent from her dialogue with Jhanak "Kash hum alag halathon mein mile hote to shayad aaj humare beech yeh rishta bhi alag hota". She became good to Jhanak the moment she became sure Jhanak won't be a problem between her and Ani. This is one of the reasons why JK was my fav character at first; capable of grey shades like this, very flawed and so very human. But it's fairly late for me to make a case for her goodness at this point.

JK also asks about who forced her to drink Thandaai but Jhanak doesn't say anything despite remembering the Naagin bhabi. I feel this response is because she knows no one will believe her with or without any evidence. JK leaves reiterating to her to marry and leave the house forever as SK calls her.

Following this we have an emotional conversation between Chotton and Jhanak. They are always a delight to watch onscreen. Chotton asks her "Tum hume chodkar chale jaoge?" an indicator as to how she has become very dear to him. Jhanak gets emotional in return and states how Ani and he are her pillars of support. She says it's a girl duty to marry and leave anyways and requests him not to cry for her. A lot of people here may think he might have interjected by indirectly talking about Ani's feeling but I feel it's not his place to do it and also the fact he knows Jhanak's character and her position within his family well. Hence he states "Bale mujhe bade ghar na ho, par mera dil bada hai jisme tumhare ek special Jaga hau, aur mein tumhe takleef mein nehi dekh skthi hoon". How he lovingly placed a hand on her head... . He then leaves stating he'll return by evening to take care of her.

Following this is a small convo between SK and Naagin Bhabhi about how everyone reacted on the house and the function. SK enquires about whether anyone asked about who gave Jhanak Thandaai. Naagin bhabhi callously comments to SK that the dose was low... what a B!! SK tho snarkily retorts if the dose was any further the Bose family would be in jail. She also informs a surprise news: The bhuda ladka is coming the same day itself to see Jhanak. Naagin bhabi is overjoyed kaise unhi ki doosri shaadi ho rahi hai lol and asks if Ani was informed. Fat chances, probably not.

The rest of the episode is mostly two scenes interspersing with each other, but I wanna write about the two scene separated and by itself.

One is a convo between the Mukherjees and the other is between Ani- Jhanak

Coming to the Mukherjees, Vinayak Chachu comes as SK and JK are discussing the Khush khabri and ask SK why she is doing the thing he denied her to do. Vinayak asks why she is insistent on ruining Jhanak's life for which she says I only care about my daughter and that he never does.

I liked how Vinayak asked SK what if our daughter was in the same position and someone else did the same thing to JK what SK is doing to Jhanak... SK dismissed his worries by saying he was overthinking and that she was her maasi, Jhanak agreed to it herself and will only want the best for her. right. SO delulu, who is she fooling? Vinayak is not fooled and talks about not wanting to talk about the exact reason why she is doing this citing Urvashi in front of his daughter. He appeals to JK saying her mother is hell-bent on ruining Jhanak but promises to stop the marriage with all his efforts. Vinayak Chachu is the only sane one in the family and I really hope he doesn't turn his back on Jhanak now or in the future.

But seeing her dad's reluctance, JK pleads to him saying all the confusion Ani has for Jhanak and the fact that legally they are married despite both denying the marriage. Her insecurity makes her fear the possibility of Jhanak claiming legitimacy of the marriage later down the line... Babe, if you think they are legally married, get them legally separated. Don't insist on marrying her off cuz in case of your worst-case scenario, Ani-Jhanak's marriage is still the valid one. You and her SO will be the illegal partners lol.

She asks her father for a boon like Kaikeyi and ends up making him promise not to pose obstacles for Jhanak's marriage. what drugs are the CVs on? Can they not do an episode without one delulu dialogue?

Now we to the Ani-Jhanak scene.... lot to unpack.

Jhanak lies on the bed recounting all the things that happened in holi, her expression somewhat unreadable, mirroring the confusion in her mind. She reminiscences about Ani hugging her and the flower he kept near her head. She is getting affected and confused by Ani's actions... unable to decipher why he did what he did.

Lo and behold! The object of her thoughts appears before in front of her, Aniruddh Bose. She asks him to leave to avoid further trouble, but bhai is fed up at this point and without a care sits down on the bed next to her and remarks about her arrangements to be free from his troubles. Unable to understand the irony, Jhanak asks who and the complaint session starts. Bapre, itni shikwe hain Ani ko. He mentions about her stubbornness to marry, and she bites back with the same comment. Ani tells her that if he was in her position he wouldn't even consider marriage and asks her to concentrate on her studies. This prompts a complaint/insult/taunt session between the two, starting with who Ani is to Jhanak, is her lord, and how she finds his comments funny sometimes. Both find the other to be insulting to them and Ani mentions there is a reason behind his actions. He requests Jhanak to understand but she like a decade-old wife asks him "Mein hi kyun samjoon har baar, nahi samajhna hai mujhe. Kyun mein fikar karoon aapki". Ani shakes his head and says you will care even if you don't want to, hinting at their past as an FB of their marriage plays out while they gaze at each other. What a lovely eyelock, both with their guards lowered and purely living at that moment...

Jhanak gets awkward and says she doesn't understand to which Ani explains its not so hard to understand since they both have the same past. He then changes trajectory and asks her to thoroughly consider the guy who comes for her hand before agreeing in a stern tone.

Jhanak is now more open to him either due to this continuous onslaught of insults or the medication that has diminished her capacity to defend herself emotionally and mentally. Her demenaor changes a little seeing Ani's frustration and Anger towards him and she asks him "Aap mujhse kabhi pyaar se baat nahi kar sakthe hain na?" which shows deep down all the insults and harsh words he said to her affect her too, now visible more than ever.

Ani bites back asking "mein kaise karoon? Tumne hi kaha tha na tumhari maasi sab samhal legi? tumhe sach mein lagta hai wo tumhari acha chahti hai?"

And we circle back to Jhanak asking "Wo meri family hai, aap koun hai mere liye? kya aap meri aacha chahthi hai?Iss ghar ke bahar kadam rakhne ke baat hum milne ke chances bhi nahin hai". Poor girl wants acknowledgment of what is between them just as much as Ani does. Ani, tum dekh nahi sakthi ho kya? Saari time kitna smart rehti ho tum? Ab tumhari akhal kahan gaya? Jhanak ke bhavnaon ko pad nahi skathi?

Instead, Ani bhai says ki wo Jahan bhi ho, wo Jhanak ki acha hi chahega... we all know that . I loved the fact that he stated how much he knows about her too by reiterating she would do the same for him and infact she did : "Isliye bhagta bhagte ayi thi na mujhe dekhne ke liye hospital mein?" leaving her stumped.

This conversation was much needed, to clear the misunderstanding about each other while also making a point to the viewers and the leads that they know about each other very well through the set of circumstances they experienced. They don't need dates and conventional things other couples do; Bass 5 mins is enough for these two to let the other know how much they care and respect each other. How many couples can say that? Iss tharah ki mohabbat har jodi ki kismat mein nahi hain...

Unable to verbally answer, she says he is thinking too much and asks if he has anything else. Such a cute husband-wife hai ye dono.. Ani clears his throat and asks about her health and only gets taana from his biwi about his pyaara family, citing her impending marriage

Ani was so cute when he asked, "Khaan dang se kaa rahi ho?". Aww....

Ani again insists that Jhanak become independent and sit for her exams and talks about the good reviews for her ad. Jhanak says she is not interested as she is getting married and her husband might not like it. Ani genuinely cares about her career and well-being; one of his best traits. He advises Jhanak to be clear about her career to her future husband as it may seem good in the beginning, but the important factor is if he is the right guy long term. The way he replied "mein nahi" as Jhanak says she has stopped thinking about things.... beautiful. He is the guide and companion Jhanak needs in her life; the one who'll be patient to teach her and let her spread her wings....

Once again, I am awed at how beautifully these two souls fit each other....

Concerned by his care for her and also I think as a result of the conversation she had with JK, Jhanak is determined to push Ani asks him to concentrate on his fiance which again brings them back to marriage topic. He advises her again and gets frustrated by her indifference and mentions "meri koi baat important lagti hi nahi hai..." . All the complaints are coming out as taunts, and I am here for it. I only hope this progresses their relationship.

Then they talk about the bhaang incident and Jhanak just wants to shut the matter down and not pursue it further. I Hope Ani bhai is like a dog with a bone and figures out the Kaand of Naagin bhabhi.

Jhanak wants to pay back for the hospital fee and Ani misunderstands it as her arrogance. She tells everything she earned is because of him and she only wants to pay back in grattitude. "Teekhai, tumhe kya lgta hai? Mujhe pay karke tum mera saara kaarz utar dogi?" Ani asks a bewildered Jhanak. Ani, this is a low blow man. Do you want to tell her she can't pay back and will always be indebted to you. Not the right choice of words my man.... He again asks her to talk to the guy thoroughly and Jhanak retorts back by asking him to concentrate on her sister.

"Mein aapki zimmedari nahi hoon..."

This serves as the straw that broke the camel's back. Visibly frustrated at this point, Ani snaps. "Jhanak, tum na nahot beraham ho" he says shocking Jhanak.

She tears up a little asking him again what he said. He replies with the english meaning to the word: heartless.

Because her guard was down, I felt Jhanak's hurt palpable in her tears and her face. She for the first time in a while opens up and frankly answers him that she never thought of him the same, not even for a single moment, surprising Ani.

Ani also tears up at her response, knowing he hurt her, and asks her why in spite of all the hurt he gave her. Jhanak remains silent and only says she is tired. Now completely pissed off, Ani abruptly gets up and leaves not before driving the dagger through her heart as she looks at him in pain.

" And I hope jo tumhe dekhne aaye hai, vo tumhe pasand ho."

Words are the most powerful weapon mankind has ever had. Any physical wound caused by a physical weapon will heal eventually, but words... never fade away. They stay in the heart, rooted, inflicting an everlasting wound. And Ani in his anger chose the most effective way to wound Jhanak, implying to her that he doesn't care if she stays or leaves and hopes her wishes would come true despite knowing it is only a means of escape for her currently and well enough why she chose this.

This was probably the first decent conversation they had since the night of her mother's death. Yes, most of their conversations revolved around one- upping each other with taunts, questions, and complaints. But they both had many moments in between where they felt they got to know the other more than before and also became keenly aware of this quiet and subtle bond brewing between them. I liked this scene a lot.

Precap: the same.

Okay so I reluctantly watched today's episode.

Jhanak has a very fragile ego though. I am skeptical in writing this because yesterday people were passionately writing against my criticism of her. But life's purpose is not just a mental construct that a person uses as per his convenience. There are life experiences and deep emotions involve that back it up and are stirred up to force you to fulfill it whether you are alone, isolated or demeaned.

But Jhanak's attitude is like that she is defeated by her destiny especially when the facts are against it. She really needs a hand that could grab her finger and make her pave in the way she wants to walk and our hero is gonna do that job while getting nothing in return.

And I made a point of Aniruddh not making deliberate effort for Jhanak but today that effort was completely visible

And the way she assured her mother, clearly shows that She just manipulated J.

Later emotionally manipulating her dad..

Vinayak such a good human being...unfortunately he was tied to Shristi for lifetime.

"agar hum dusre halaat mein milte toh shayad humare Rishta alag hota" - Arshi

the hell it would have been, bish! You are such a narcissist that you can't see anything above yourself - you are now acting as some devi because it means Jhanak is out of your life soon.

"Aap aur sir ji mere taakat hai" - Jhanak!

To say this about someone speaks about how highly you regard them - about the importance this person holds over your life!! You do not say this about someone you feel have no rights over your life!

"Aap bhi utaavle ho rahe hai shadi Karne ke liye"

Jhanak talks about Ani's impending wedding to Arshi and that speaks volumes of the state of her heart!! She might not love Ani, or she doesn't know, but take Arshi out the picture and things would have been so different!! shows clearly how she is fighting so hard to reign her feelings in so that she doesn't become the "other woman"

"Humara past hai"

The eye lock that followed was filled with longing and the question of what if.

Arshi's first dialogue of different circumstances applies to all these dialogues that followed and was the undercurrent throughout the Ani-Jhanak conversation.

"Mein Jahaan pe bhi rahun, sir tumhare best chahunga aur mein jaanta Hun ki tum bhi isiliye bhaagte bhaagte ayi thi "

Ani knows despite what she says Jhanak cares for him deeply.

" Kabhi pyaar se baat Nahi Kar salter?"

🤣 Such a hubby-wife dialogue this!

All of Jhanak's dialogues to Ani today made me think the girl is being rude and pushing him off only to make sure she doesn't fall for him or

"Meina sochna samajna band Kar Diya" Jhanak about her future and life, telling him she has given up hoping!

"Maine band Nahi Kiya" Ani telling her that he hasn't and no matter what happens he will always keep looking out for her, always!

Why is this boy still questioning his feelings for her? WHYYYYY?!

"Kya Lagta hai tumhare sasural jannat ki Tarah hogi?"

The way Ani keeps goading her to enquire about the boy, asking her to talk to him to find out compatibility - he definitely doesn't trust his dragon saas to do anything good for her so is goading her to ensure he is a good man!!

Arrey Ani - what are you doing????

"Tum bahut bereham ho, you are heartless"

"Kya Kaha Aapne?" And the tears that welled up at her Sir ji's words cemented the amount of importance him and his words had on her.

"Par meine Kabhi Aapke bare mein aise Nahi socha"

"Kyun Nahi socha?" Ani asks prodding her why she doesn't hate him despite him insulting her - boy wants to know what she thinks. Ani boy, she is giving you all the hints open your eyes and understand my boy!

" I hope Joh ladka Aaye tumhe Woh Pasand Aaye aur tum ussey"

Jhanak looks at him, her eyes screaming how can you say that? Do you really want that I be someone else's?

Arrey Jhanak, first you tell him not to think about you and you marrying anyone shouldn't affect him and then your eyes tell that you are shattered he is even saying this!

This conversation was amongst the best RuNak conversation till date. With what was said, and more importantly with what was left unsaid, it was very clear how much these 2 love each other but will still hide behind the curtains of zimmedari and no haq 🙄🙄

This was the angst I was talking about, and thought not entirely up to what I wanted, still happy to see a little bit was there!

Krushal, and Hiba, today, ROCKED the eye conversations! Loved it!
