100% agree with all you have writtem. I can see it.
Its likely one of my fav episodes to date. So different from other shows and well done...
And I could likely be way off base with the way I took it. Mine is just a plausible counter view. By the responses I can see it is an unpopular view
For me the physical attraction or the need to indulge is not a bad thing or a sign of disrespect, more so because they are a married couple, and tho he did coerce he did not force.Like emotional need a physical need is equally permissible in a marriage as long as there is consent and she did eventually put her arms around him. Like you said if at all they implied it - I would be happy because then ITV is def coming of age.
The way I saw it the part before SR is exactly as you portrayed. Little boy craving comfort, attention, love, security. Very scared of losing J and wanting to hold on to her. Post their hug and SR is when I felt the tone changed...everything bgm pulse urgency his plain annoyance at her saying ye sahi nahi hai and pushing him off, his response... J kya sahi hai our kya nahi hum baadh me discuss karenge...does that not sound like a need for emotional connect?.Usually emotional connect is calmer gentler. But - I could be reading too much into it.
Also his answer to sindoor question was haq. Somehow today when he showed his annoyance I felt he was drawing out the haq card.
When J says - alawys mannmaani karne hai kya... he says
Mai ziddi hun and my bahut bura aadmi hoon, sirf tumhare liye, Jhanak mai tumhe kahi nahi jaane duunga.
For me this kind of meant, he is a very good upstanding person - except when it comes to her, he can do anything to keep her. Bura is an interesting choice of word here. what bura has he ever done to her than detain her in BH?
I dont think he did anything wrong, J says today why did i give in....will she really be wondering why she hugged Ani?
Sorry if this response is disjointed . Writing theories regarding tv shows at 1am
This forum is so pleasant and has so many povs that I enjoy spending time here, and seeing diff interpretations of the same episode. I dont know whether to say kudos to the makers for their ability to draw this kind of enagement or blame them for sloppy writing that in unclear and keeps everyone guessing what is going on
