Ani hum sab jante hai, pre-birthday kaise celebrate kya tha, Kashmir mein kyq huwa tha. Tumhari nazarein kise follow jkarti hai humein sab pata hai.
On a serious note, we may all want Runak, we may all dislike/hate Ani but by def that's classic gas lighting.
Here me out. From Arshi POV.
I am happily engaged, ready to go for pre-wedding honeymoon with fam blessings (yeh kya hota hai), ie we are completely committed! Now tmy to-be-husband (TBH) meets a young very attractive girl, a good dancer from my fam and sees the signs of pull in my TBH. I notice when he is extra friendly after the dance competition in Kashmir, where J and i win (but after a face-off I do win). I help her to get to the stage but she is actually my competitor and my fiancรฉ is showing extra interest in her. She is me, but maybe even better than me. Both my career and personal life is at risk.
I thought what happened in Kashmir stays in Kashmir, but he brings her to Kolkata and my mother is very upset abt J being a bad girl and she is going to ruin our lives. How am I to react?
Many times I feel Ani is not mine anymore and when I try to talk to him, he sweet talks me. My gut feels that even though he says all right things his eyes speak a different language. I want to break off this engagement but most of my fam and my mom are asking me to continue and fight for my love and not allow J to win. Ani himself is not sure. Maybe J is just a distraction and as Ani said he will always come back to me. I am his wife-to-be, it is my duty to protect him from distractions. I asked J directly if she loves Ani and if Ani loves her, but her response confused me more, I couldn't understand her Himalaya parvat connection.
Yes, sometimes I feel happy when J is put on the spot, (she agreed to reversal rasam, remarrying with uncle groom). I wasn't part of the groom swap but mom says Tejas will be good for J. Why are Ani-J upset about it? Very confusing.
J shows that she is happy that i am getting married and Ani has never broken our engagement. He is willingly participating in all the ceremonies. I feel I being cheated but every proof I see I am being talked out of it. His fam and my mother pulls me back into it. sab kahte hai woh ladki chali jaye bas, aur sab theek ho jayega. I am so frustrated.
But now I am injured and even tho he is attentive to me, it doesn't feel right. I give him a way out, but he is ready for SR.
Either Jhanak directly tried to hurt/injured me or not, but Ani's attention to J is why mother might have tried to hurt J ( I know my mother). Root cause is Ani!
Everything was perfect until Kashmir, but Ani is not the same but he asks Aisa kiya kya maine?

My POV:
Most people find Arshi dumb etc., but I find her caught in the storm called Runak and does not know how to react. I find her lost, with a mother like narcissist Shrishti who wouldn't. I find her frustrated and angry. Her hurt is reasonable where she wants to be married to the man who says he loves her (mom wants me to win, BH wants me as Lakshmi). But still not convinced.... Classic case of some one who is gaslit.
Yes , from her point of view she is right ...
Like here ...who is the third person its unfortunately our Jhanak.Before her entry to Anirudh and Arshi life they were happy, going to get married .Arshi was also shown good. She turning bad is later for the story to progress ..else its their story , their life .And the third angle who comes into picture is always a sweet natured one making the other villian. That is why even though we hate Arshi she cant be ignored in their life. That is why the writer did not make the character vanish till now. She is relevant in their life until they stand for their love or for the marriage they did once.
She is a human being who got trapped between these two. Same like how they were forced to get married . The marriage was never accepted by them as they felt it has cheating Arshi. They both are good hearted human being who kept their promise till now . Sometimes I feel Arshi cant be blamed . They hide their marriage from her ,and after exposing also they didnt take proper stand ....the feeling Anirudh had as husband ,Jhanak somewhere feeling the need of acceptance of being his wife and in between somewhere they fell in love. They didnt speak openly neither did they address Arshi ..
Just copy pasted this part , as you werent tagged in this discussion...my thoughts about Arshi ...
