You put it all out there Soh.โค๏ธ I have nothing to add.Originally posted by: rysohini
Unfortunately, for us , it is Ani's action or inaction , that drives the story forward. Coz the two sisters are worse, they propel the story, at least the love story backwards !
Yes, he is weak and he has been shown to be weak all along ! That's been pretty much his survival strategy, that he has equipped himself with , for 28 years now!
Hence the web of lies! And it somewhat runs in the family, if I look at Chhoton and his "Laxmi" drama, that he eventually twists in his favour!
These men in this family, do not have the guts, to stand up and say the truth or say what they WANT !
They are driven by parents manipulating them / instructing them / twisting their arms to get what the parents WANT !
And truth be told, we have families in our societies, where parents emotionally blackmail, manipulate , twist children (both sons and daughters) to make them do WHAT THE PARENTS WANT !
The emotional blackmailing starts with "Hum logo ne tumhare liye, kitna kuchh kiya, we sacrificed so much to bring you up!" etc.etc.
I have watched such children , grow up to be young adults and adults eventually, from close quarters and they are always left double guesing, doubting their own decisions , sometimes devoid of the power/ sense of taking decisions even and being indecisive as a result!
The childhood conditioning never taught them to 'man up' coz they have been conditioned to fulfil some one else's dreams and wishes ! Their marriages/future relations end up being disastrous for some!
It is so important for parents, to understand the concept of consent and let a child specially who has now transitioned into an adult, to just be !
For Ani now, it is, "Yes I love J" but big deal ! It is the same for BH ! They know Ani loves J but big deal ! So many people love so many others!
Ani will probably go through a journey from being a pacifist to a rebel, but he would need enough wind beneath his wings,enough motivation from J , to be able to do so !
There is a lot for him to un-learn, simply coz he is 'conditioned' in a certain way, to look at life n it's problems/situations. Some one needs to guide him and show him there are other ways of dealing a situation, rather than pleasing everyone! Maybe Minu?
Also, probably mis-treatment of BH at Arshi's and Shrishti's hands could help him turn into a different leaf!
The way he loved J, exposed his vulnerable self to her, he has not done to any other ! When that love got thukrao'ed , mujhe aj tak kisine itna nehi thukraya, he went bezerk, he has gone bezerk before as well.
If Arshi thukrao'ed her, he wouldn't feel such extreme pain, coz his feelings for Arshi were never this deep enough!
His way of showing his grievance is revenge from J , again an extreme emotion that he has kept only for J ! He is not spiteful towards anyone else really! Qki no one ever stirred him up, the way J did!
Side Note - Ani remembering the Mudur pulao scene, when Anjana says you did not trust J, shows how dischorded and disoriented the writers are atm as it made absolutely no sense !
Sadly, all this is fetching TRPs, keep Ani this way, sometimes doubting J's intentions, other times saying ILU to Arshi, is generating the needed hype, positive/negative doesn't matter ! Till the time, the TRPs don't dwindle, this crapfest wouldnot either !
The other fact, that can't ignore, is the Kashmir hug and SR dream scenes did not fetch the TRPs as much!That could have caused a nosedive for RuNak!
Only thing I will say that the SR dream sequence was so out of place and poorly edited as Priya said. Firstly, it came out of no where and next was that dream or the feelings attached to it wasnโt explicitly acknowledged by any one of them. They abruptly ended it and it looked forced. The next morning it was all disappeared in the thin air. A man who had a normal fever, expressed so much but couldnโt remember anything about what he said to a girl later on and acted like he just had a nasha tha Jo utar gaya๐At least thatโs what it looked like initially. He said it later, but it was all riddle talk. The makers made it look so illogical that no sane audience will give their sequence any trp. The connection to their feelings afterwards were completely lost. I donโt know who was writing this, but they could have done a better job portraying it.
