Well written! Abt the forbidden love part - you nailed it. That’s why audience cannot connect with Ani. If number of years in a relationship is the only factor, it makes zero sense.
I agree with everything but that Arshi still has hope that ani loves her.
Arshi is now very aware ani loves Jhanak but is making sure she does not give Ani any reason to break the relationship. She is following shristi’s guidance of how to control Ani like she controls Vinayak.
before the hug, ani was going to say if you don’t trust me you can…but she quickly inserted the ‘I trust you now’ so he cannot finish. She is encouraging his guilt and keeps looking at him so he cannot look at Jhanak without guilt.
I agree ani should tell Arshi he does not love her but for the sake of commitment he will marry her and he is wrong for not telling her the truth and moreover lying that he loves her, but Arshi is well aware of this and playing Ani at his own game.

So I finally watched the last three episodes, and despite the low expectations I found myself still disappointed. Here are my thoughts...

Runak - a forbidden lovestory?

So I didn't mind the conversation between Ani and Rahul. Even though Ani was pretty much forcing Rahul to getting married to J, there were instances where they connected due to their mutual feelings for Jhanak. And listening to them both discuss Jhanak's career and how capable she is, that was quite nice to see.

However, after Rahul leaves, the façade is gone and Ani looks utterly broken. He says, despite his feelings he can't keep Jhanak close to him in this lifetime. But why not?

To me it looked like the makers were trying to make Runak's love story seem 'forbidden' with a teary eyed Ani momentarily yearning Jhanak's love. But I'm sorry - This is not a forbidden love story. Forbidden might be say, a single mother falling in love with young guy, or something which some parts of the society still find taboo. But for Runak, from my POV, there is no such thing! There is a class difference, yes. But these two are literally married! They can legally live with and love each other, and other than emotional blackmail from the family, there is no legal and minimum societal pressures. Runak are apart purely because of forced MU, so this 'forbidden love' angle seemed OTT and overdramatic to me.

Arshi seeking trust in a their relationship

Beat me all you want, but in that moment when Arshi looked at Ani and asked for trust to be maintained in their relationship, there was a part of me that felt bad for her. I'm saying this purely from the POV of a young woman, moments before her wedding.

Ani couldn't even hug her back. How the hell was he planning to spend his entire life with her?? Despite what their relationship has turned into now, there may have been a time when they were good friends/lovers and genuinely cared about each other. At least for the sake of that Ani should have told her the truth about his feelings, regardless of whether J loved him back or no! I am not a fan of Arshi, however, today Ani in his sacrificial mode is ruining three lives. If he made it clear to Arshi that he doesn't love her (unfortunately in this case, words speak louder than actions) then she would back off. But he keeps convincing her that he wants to get married , and Arshi even though she probably knows this may not be a 100% true is holding on in hope that what Ani is saying is the truth. Call it being gullible, stupid or just in denial, either way, Ani is the primary reason why they've gotten this far - till the mandap!

Jhanak loves to be a doormat

Jhanak has just found out that Shristi helped Tejas in her kidnapping, and despite that she's being so polite and letting Shristi and others say crap to her! Like why??? Do you have no self respect, Jhanak?? Because of Shristi she was so close to marrying Tejas, and after that her life would have been a living hell. She would have been mentally and physically abused every single day! And Shristi showed no remorse! Forget Ani, I wanted J to react more strongly because it was her life at stake there! But no - she was politely inviting Tanuja and Shristi into her room when they asked her to join them for the wedding. And even at the mandap the two ladies were trying to gauge Jhanak's feelings on seeing Ani getting married and talking rubbish (even though some of it was true), and Jhanak was politely entertaining to them. Seriously? I wish Jhanak had asked them to shut up and gone back to prepare for her exams! Honestly, that scene was sooo exasperating to say the least! The titular character needs to be inspiring, specially when thousands of other young girls may be watching this show, but Jhanak unfortunately is far from it.

Okay, this is for Bubbleji's question regarding J not having self esteem.

I think she is staying mum primarily because it's about Ani's shaadi right now and she doesn't want to create obstacles in it. She genuinely does wish the betterment for her sister as she thinks somehow her change in character is a result of things that had happened. Remember how Arshi was initially sweet? First impressions tend to make a strong impact. I feel J does not understand that Arshi was primarily like this and not a person who changed because of circumstances. Just like Ani. Both need some kind of rude awakening to understand Arshi for who she is and how low she can stoop in fear and insecurity and that it's not something that can be changed by them.

I also think she feels indebted to Ani in some way. So she thinks okay if I stay silent, things will go back to the way they were. Ani loves Arshi anyways, so this marriage is what is supposed to happen. After exams, I can stay in Kashmir or if I go back to Kolkata I will not be the one with the "Wife tag" which will significantly ease people's worries.

Another major possibility is that they're her only so-called relatives who share any blood with her in this world whom she knows.

Jab rishtedaari ki baat ati hn specially aunt jaisey rishtay ki to automatically lehaz ajata hai insaan me. This also happens with me sometimes and sirf respect or lehaz ki wajase nazar anadaz krna parta hn kbh kbhi..But Jhanak respect krskti hn per aisey insaan k lye sacrifice krna isn't worth at all jo apki zara se bhi na karey and I feel Jhanak isn't aware about Arshi's true colors yet.

But main reason is only her sirji which she already mentioned during Arshi and her confrontation scene, she said k "Arshi did me apko islye maaf krti kyu k ap sirji ki honey wali wife hn na k meri didi."

........

Arshi sirf 2 episodes me grey shaded thi but uski jealousy and inferiority complex ussey le dooba hai.

Jhanak ko she always considered inferior and incompetent infront of her to jab kbhi hum kisi insaan ko neecha dikhaty hn to Khuda bhi unko unki asli auqat dikha deta hn.

So the result is infront of us where Jhanak has won Ani with her innocence, honesty and beautiful manners whereas Arshi remains a looser with her insecurity, jealousy and superiority complexion.

.......

Arshi: Karma ++++

Jhanak: Blessings+++

Agreed. There was more turmoil when Jhanak was leaving Kolkata last week....

The only benefit of doubt I'm giving him now is that he's not really had a chance to reflect on it. He's been on autopilot since his family got to Kashmir. They came, announced the wedding, and next thing you know he being dressed up for the mandap. It's all too much, and this just the day after Jhanak got kidnapped and was forced to marry Tejas. So from that perspective it's a lot for someone to process, and Ani has not had any moments to himself to question his feelings or actions. For now he's brushing it all under the carpet and going with the flow.

Agree.. The third part have irked me as well. I am not sure why she is being so polite to them. She is not staying in their house nor have to do anything with them. She should have shown string reaction on what they did with her and not let them speak any shit to her. But she is being extra soft, I am not sure why???

I just mentioned my assumption on another post here, please do read.

Their love is never forbidden and very pure since they're the ones legally bonded first.

I understand that when someone is committed to someone in the family, it is quite unacceptable for another family person to get married with that same person. I have seen this happen in many real-life scenarios, which is normal nowadays as verbal commitment doesn't hold any value. On the other side, Arshi isn't her biological sister so there's no sense to be considered as forbidden when she's only a second cousin.

.........

It's evident that Raunak are legally married, so Arshi is committing cheating and engaging in an extramarital affair from today onwards, as Panditji has already confirmed the validity of their marriage.

Most importantly, she also realized that Anirudh only loves Jhanak and never loved her like Jhanak. So, if she has any self-respect left then move on from him but she wants to win him as a trophy, surprisingly!

.....

Anirudh, it's high time for you to stop giving false hope now and decide to leave Arshi whether you know Jhanak equally loves you or not. You can't even touch her, and being honest, so getting married to her for the sake of your family is an effective decision..

Agreed with the last part!

..........

Jhanak shouldn't act so mellow and realize her worth. She should become both mentally and emotionally strong so that no one can harm her at any cost.

Since, she is young, naive, innocent, and has no one to guide her, which causes her to lack dignity and have low self-esteem after facing immense torture and mental abuse. Her thinking ability has been severely affected, allowing her to further exploit herself without knowing the after effects.

Indeed, she will emerge as a strong person after facing various life challenges throughout her unfortunate journey, leading her to value her existence. All she lacks now is moral and friendly support, and I hope Anirudh will become her best friend first rather than a possessive lover.

...............

Anirudh, on the other hand, though strong in multiple aspects, lacks emotional intelligence and the ability to foresee the consequences of his uncalculated risks, such as his wedding with Arshi. If he cannot even touch her now, what will he do after the wedding? Will there be any further excuses for him to justify his actions?

The only significant reason for his spontaneous acts is to keep telling lies, which subconsciously lets him believe that he can convince anyone using his manipulation power to achieve his desired outcome.

In reality, however, he becomes foolish and clutters the lives of others associated with him. Furthermore, I know that he does not have a strong bond with his parents, from whom he could receive guidance to differentiate between what is ethically right and morally wrong. Choton, on the other hand, always remained selective when knocking some sense into Anirudh.

............

Therefore, both leads need some real guidance and moral support to drive efficacious results in their favor. Nonetheless, they will keep tangling their already messed-up lives.

I really hope they will realize the value of their sacred relationship, talk sensibly, and try to figure out the actual issues instead of uttering nonsense and misunderstanding each other. Jhanak, please come out of your sacrificial mode, as you are already aware of your aunt's immoral actions now and don't act childishly as your wedding is already declared pure and sacred infront of everyone! ❤️

Like Chotton only intervenes as much as Anirudh allows him to and then Chotton leaves him there without coming to any conclusion. For example, the train confession. Anirudh told him not to talk about his feelings when Chotton questions him about being upset.


Like Chotton, just grab his collar, take him near the cliff and ask him to speak up or else you’ll push him off. Laaton ke bhoot baaton se nahe manne wale

And Anirudh is that bhoot who needed to be forced to speak him. Sometimes you have to do it for urgent reasons.

Han na...I discussed this in detail on the other post that raunak need serious mentors in their life.

They could even opt for mental / decision making therapies agr koi na ho to samjhany wala.

But han itv isn't for problem-solving instead creates more toxic and negative impressions 🤐
