jhanak is born in december, and she's gonna graduate, so she's most probably 23

and as for arshi and ani, i'm guessing they are about 3-4 years older than her at max so they might be around 26-27

This is like beating a dead horse but.

Jhanak is 21. Arshi 23/24. Ani 27/28

Okay. Not really much to say.

Baapre... "Bas papa ki tabayat teekh rahe". Baad mein jaaye aapki baap aur unki bheemari.

Precap: Why does it feel to me like Ani is behaving like a petulant child to chotton?

Thanks for the write up, Anusha. It’s always a treat to read your updates. Haven’t watched the episode and not planning until wedding fiasco is over. Will binge watch depending on the outcome of this track lol

Girls, I have a serious question. Now Jhanak's marriage is happening, and both Ani and Jhanak keep on saying that they will never cross their paths again. Now, what about Urvashi's suicide letter? Will Ani keep that letter with him, or will he give that letter to Jhanak as a marriage gift?

Me thinks Urvashi’s letter is reserved for a future track after leads unite. This is their brahmastra to create misunderstanding lol.. they won’t ruin it by making Ani just give it away. Ani might plan to give it to her in future but Jhanak will find it by accident.

People sadly don't talk at about the fact that Anirudha himself is victim of his toxic family as he has spend his entire life in that house, just imagine his trauma while growing up as a kid, the fact that he became such a kind hearted man even after staying there and having such parents is in itself praiseworthy.

The amount of bashing Anirudha recieves no matter what he does and even when due to any situation he couldn't do anything is unparalleled.

This may sound like bashing, All the things you said about Ani are valid. To be honest, in a way, all kids in Indian homes (more likely Asian) grow up with complex PTSD as a result of their home environment. But the fact of the matter is, he can see now everyone around him behaves obedient to him in a way. If he can manipulate them to his advantage, why is he not able to proactively defend her against the onslaught of insults? He can easily do it. And if he grew up in a toxic household having some of the same issues as Jhanak does now, why isn't he able to empathize more with her and fight for her regardless? Why does he think Jhanak is in a mindset to understand and fight for herself? She is fricking depressed. People don't find a reason to live in depression, nothing matters to them, period, which is why people take their lives. We are all seeing some signs on it here and there, granted makers are not showing it well...but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist within Jhanak. Being depressed is like sinking in a bog, the more you struggle to get out, the more it pulls you back in. You can never completely get rid of depression; you just learn to work around it.

Also, it's not as if Jhanak's life was hunky-dory either. Imagine her trauma growing up hearing about the dad who left his mom and her mom being labeled a w**** in so many ways. She was so used to the point when Ani told her how wrong this was, she just brushed it off saying It's okay, it's an everyday occurrence for us. No matter how much support system she has, this has got to hurt man. If we want to compare, Ani's problems pale in front of hers. How would any one of us feel in Jhanak's place?

Again, not saying Ani's problems were not valid, both Ani and Jhanak are victims in childhood and both their traumas are equally valid. They both exhibit symptoms of Complex PTSD in their adulthood.

Jhanak should be held responsible for not fighting for herself when her mental health is becoming fragile day by day, but Ani who doesn't experience any of that now is given leeway because he grew up in a toxic household. Make it make sense.

It makes me so sad when people don't comprehend the extent to which Jhanak's mental health has taken a hit in the Basu madhouse.

And I am not Ani hater and Jhanak Stan. I love the characters equally if you have seen my updates.

So I finally mustered up the courage to watch today's episode with zero expectations . And keeping all the toxicity aside, I think this episode was needed to bring a few things out into the open.

For one, Jhanak has a much better idea of what she's getting herself into. Up until now she had no idea what her to-be husband was like, but now she understands how regressive the family is and what their expectations are of her. Basically in her husband's house there is no room for her dreams. Jhanak has always been impulsive. To save Anis life she's previously also made rash decisions to run away with Tejas, without properly understanding the consequences of her actions. And today she's doing the exact same thing! But now I'm glad she's getting a reality check. And quite rightly so she's afraid of what she's getting into..the fear on her face was quite evident today. Hopefully now that she knows what the future holds for her she can make a more informed decision . There are plenty of other ways to walk out of Anis life without getting tied to such a regressive family. Based on the revelations today she must realise that she basically just going from one cage to another, so I really hope she HERSELF breaks this marriage.

Now coming to Ani. Absolutely love this man! Right till the very end he's fighting for Jhanak's future. He keeps pushing Avinash to let Jhanak complete her exams, something which Jhanak herself couldn't bring up mind you. And for those bashing Ani for keeping silent for Shristis comment...what do u expect him to say? Quite honestly, that comment wasn't even worth responding to. It came across as a very immature comment, and you could see that on Ani's face. It wasn't worth spending an ounce of energy responding to someone so delusional. Shristi or whoever else could say whatever they want , but at the end of day Ani and Jhanak know what they feel for each other and that is what matters.

Lastly, loved the scene between Jhanak and Appu di. So genuine and heartfelt ♥️
