I watched all the episodes that I had to miss... yes all including the confession ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ
Anirudh the special case... I watched the episodes altogether so I got a good sense of Anirudh's reasoning.
First, Shristi claimed she witnessed Jhanak intentionally trying to harm Arshi and she was so sure that she even involved police
Second, his parents request to not support Jhanak and only think about Arshi as she is severely hurt. Her life is at the stack and so is her career
Third, Arshi's health condition, the doctor says she will only improve if the criminal is punished as she feels someone tried to kill her
I think the last one is very important. I know we hate Ani for caring for Arshi, but he is doing the right thing here regardless. At the end of the day he was going to marry this woman and she got hurt while marrying him, it's an unfortunate situation for Arshi...
Now as far as Anirudh's concern for Jhanak goes...
In his monologues,
Shristi as has always tried to harm J, but can J do something like this...no no I feel bad even thinking about it...
Tumane muze bacha liya Jhanak, mera sir sabake samane jhukane se bacha liya. Thank you and i am sorry agar maine tum kar shak kiya ho. Ho sake to muze maph kar dena
Let me put it this way, he did not doubt her but also did not openly support Jhanak this time because of the reasons I mentioned above. In the case of Anirudh logic always takes precedence over heart.
He is unable to ignore a mother's plea for her daughter that someone tried to intentionally harm her, needs to find the criminal for Arshi to come out of trauma and Shristi claiming she has evidence... The other times when he supported Jhanak it was different. No one else was hurt, J was the one who generally got hurt, and she was the victim most of the time. This time she was accused... his to-be wife was hurt, and family's sentiments were involved, being Anirudh i.e. logical brain + extreme compassion is what resulted in the actions he took. He has a quality to see goodness in people... so even with Arshi's chudail-like words, and Shristi's actions he sees good in them. We might ask well other good people supported her why did he not... umm well he is not the same as them... they are more right-brained and he is left-brained... they are just different people, they think differently, that is all.
This use of "Agar" is very clever, to say the least. We viewers will keep on wondering if Ani really doubted J or not! The "agar" is also used when he says please forgive me "if" I doubted you
... meaning he does not claim as well he doubted her...wow!!
This is disappointing if we look at it from "love" perspective. We all think, how can he not tell her, I trust you no matter what... such simple words? This was very much serious case... not trusting Jhanak this time was not great!
What is "love" to Ani Bose dictionary and what is love to us are two different things. What we think are simple words, to him, it's much more complicated for the reasons I explained above.
So far we have seen....
He cares for Arshi and Jhanak both... I think he cares for everyone if someone is in need
He makes it a priority to stand by the side of the one in need... he did that for J and A both.. going to extremes
He shows a lack of trust in J and A... he asked Arshi once during J's wedding, tell me honestly are you really happy J is getting married?
He takes responsibility very seriously... he has been very responsible towards J, and also to arshi given how he won't break the marriage because of the commitment he gave her
He said I love you to both ladies...
The only difference is being with J gives him happiness but with A does not..
in his words, when he is with her he forgets about everything, but when she is not with him his life becomes dark. A heartfelt confession indeed. He needs her in life, he feels happy just being around her. But loving someone also requires understanding and trust... J is like a puzzle to him. (Well, she does talk in riddles I don't blame him entirely! She is sometimes hard for me to understand.)
I really want Ani to explore what is love to him exactly and I hope makers explore this. No wonder we are confused about Ani's feelings because well he is confused as well
Where do you draw the line?
.........
There are some things I am really happy about. The good characters in this show are finally now speaking up. Vinayak, Choton, Jethu, Boroma, Dadubhai, and Minu all performed a role in strengthening Jhanak! That was "kabile tariph". Finally, it was not just Anirudh speaking up, while others stayed mute. I always felt the good characters in the show did not take a stand when it was needed. Ex. When Jhanak was forced to marry Tejas, how Tanuja and Bipasha were holding her so that Tejas could put sindoor on her... others stayed quite in shock, while only Ani dared to speak up first. Then they joined afterward. This time it was different and I quite liked that.
I want to say a lot about Minu but others have written plenty so I will not write! But I love her! She is like that missing piece of the puzzle in the Bose house!
........
As far as Jhanak's mahanta act goes...
I know I have been very much frustrated with this character as there was a lack of growth in her. But I finally saw that glimpse of old strong but very soft-spoken Jhanak in the police station. She fought for herself for hours, without getting tired, irritated, and angry! I wish she talked like that to Ani sometimes.
Yes, it was stupid, to say the least to let Shristi go but what she did today the act of "mercy" and "forgiveness" probably did wonders and left a strong impression on the people present in the house. An act that makes you want to bow to her! This helped her probably cleanse her impression in the minds of people of being someone who wanted to come in between Ani and Arshi, a bad omen(thammi's words), a money-minded woman, etc etc..
Now the good people can stand tall and proud to the people like Tanuja, Shubho, Bipasha, Laal...
Shrsiti became "karzdar" of her ...
Vinayak also became her "karzdar" for not giving his daughter another shock of losing her mom...
In minu's eyes she earned respect forever ...
once the good, weak people were looking proud while the bad, powerful people were not able to meet gaze with someone...
Ani feels slightly guilty for not speaking up openly, at least I hope, that "agar" really is getting on my nerves, but I hope he learns to now trust Jhanak! Because this was major, this was not just any doubt, this was not time to stay silent, he gave her hurt that will be hard to fill...
Also, another good thing that happened was Shristi's "baizzati" in her daughter's sasooral. This changes hopefully lot of things! The respect she used to receive in that house is probably gone...
Shubho and the team won't be able to support her now as much...
If this news leaks their so-called reputation will be at stake as well for joining their son's hands with a daughter of a criminal ...
She probably felt for the first time today what it must have felt to her sister and her sister's daughter when she used to tell them harsh words in front of everyone... a feeling like getting stripped naked in front of the world! Her to-be grandfather-in-law called her a "cold-blooded attempt to murder" ... She at least lost respect in the eyes of the good people in the house and probably Thammi as well! How will this change the equation for Ani and Arshi's marriage, we shall see... Boses have the upper hand now on Mukharjee!
One another good thing that also happened, is Shristi going free, failing to hurt Jhanak, which means she will again try to harm her and get better at harming her, and might use her daughter as well. Shrisiti is also pissed at Ani, so if she tried to hurt Ani in any way, well that is it for Basus and this wedding. While the daughter sleeps in shock, the mother is creating larger shocks for her in the outside world. Ani and Jhanak might not have to do anything, Shristi might just clean the field for them! lol!
Some takeaways,
Arshi will come in between Jhanak and Ani in the future that's for sure.. She is a wounded wolf, her inability to dance, Ani's care towards Jhanak, and if Shirsiti instigates her, she is going to make some bad decisions...
Ani has a tough life coming ahead! He will have it tough to try to reconcile with Jhanak while keeping Arshi happy. Any efforts to protect Jhanak or support her will backfire... So he has a tough life coming ahead! He might find it more and more suffocating with Arshi, but he cannot escape from the "responsibility" he has taken now...
As far as Jhanak goes, she thinks if she leaves everything will be ok. This poor girl! If people want to harm you, they will find a way to do so. Hope she will soon learn this lesson as well. I am glad she is finally leaving on her own. She is feeling liberated from all the promises (promises to Ani) as he failed to trust her. She is finally a free bird. I like this for her. I wanted this for her. A woman deserves to find her own path to happiness...
As far as Runak goes, well that's a good question... both are utterly messed up right now to think about being together
I trust the villains of this show to do something more sinister for these two to fight together and feel liberated from all the burdens that is holding them down!
I am staying away from what is wrong and what is right, because what does it matter what I think? It's not like they are going to change lol! They are not real people! Trying to judge characters too harshly kills the fun for me. Then you start hating them and well then what's the point? I want to rather see them make up for their mistakes, study them as a curious case ... oh so he/she is a person like that... interesting ... and keep focus on the story instead! 
i am yet to read all the tags, i know arna tagged me .. i will respond to it all once i have some time tonight โค๏ธ
