Hmmm letβs put it this wayβ¦& we have to work through a maze of bad screenplay/dialogue to arrive at some semblance of what is Aniβs feelings at the moment. Bear with me as I explain the confusionβ¦ ππ I may still not succeed to get out of the maze!!
His declaration of love for Jhanak at Kashmir was one out of passion but not necessarily one where he articulated where he stood on the matter on Arshiβ¦If you see, he never once tried to convince Jhanak that he will come clean with Arshi and blah blahβ¦he extracted a promise from Jhanak that she will not leave him and he would have come to the next stage ( whatever that nebulous state was) after reaching BH but all hell broke loose as Jhanak was clearly not in a mood to encourage his feelings at any level.Its not like Ani was looking to string along both womenβ¦ itβs just that Ani never thought this thru that farβ¦letβs just say he assumed that Jhanak will agree to be part of his life and all problems will go away. But life isnβt that simple.
Hereβs where Aniβs core traits come into play and also lend well into the moral conflict of the love story. Aniβs nature to choose path of least resistance but not understanding that choices have to be made and they arenβt easy.
Ani never said he had an issue with Arshiβ¦ he kept saying I donβt know how I can live without Jhanak. Ani never had to contend with a state which Jhanak found herself inβ¦so he has shown scant understanding of her issue. Which is also why he went ballistic when Jhanak said you live with Arshi and I will go from hereβ¦ Ani could have at that stage tried to convince Jhanak about his intentions regarding Arshi and articulated what was in his mind but for that he needed to understand Jhanakβs reluctance for commitment stemming from her past. Ani has to be in state where Jhanak was/is to understand. Adi can provide that. Helplessness is something Ani will feel. He may be forced to confront his feelings for Arshi in this phase..

Choice karne ka waqt aa gaya par karna aasaan nahin hoga
