Yesterday’s episode has to rank among the stupidest episodes ever…Not thought through except as a means to separate the leads.
Just to put it in perspective…. Jhanak was scared for her life and reached out to Ani to ostensibly inform him but through the entire time, she kept expectations and was overwhelmed that he came..she was surprised he owned up to the relationship and called her his biwi and acknowledged himself as her husband. She even in her disoriented state said ILY.
Fine so far…from hereon..starts the stupidity.
The writers have no clue what they are setting up next… THERE IS iNO scene of the kind I HAVE DESCRIBED BELOW
As she wakes from her operation, reality kicks in, flashbacks of Ani’s presence and his encouragement and Jhanak is reminded of Ani’s earnest request to see his face first. His shy acknowledgement to the nurse flashes by in her mind’s eye.She composes herself. Seriousness is writ large on her face. She thinks what have I done? I shouldn’t have got Sirjee here.. there’s going to be hell to pay for back home. Main ghar par sabse ladkar aay hoon!! Sirjee ne kaha tha!! Par Woh mere liye kyu.hi ladenge ? Again a flashback of Ani standing up for her against BH folks flashed by..par tab ki baat aur thi… ab woh kyun hi ladenge? A flashback of Ani shouting at her not accepting her baby claim…standing by Arshi..Jhanak winces. She tries to rest but is woken by a knock on the door…
My issue isn’t with the separation… they are not in any position to be together and in relationships where there is a complexity ( real or imagined) it is a given that problems like these will occur.. Allegation and counter allegations will occur…after all which relationship in which a third person is there can breathe easy?
Jhanak’s complaints with Ani are growing exponentially and they were expected to grow. Haq aise hi jataya jata hain relationships main. Tohmat bhi wahi lagayi jaati jahan umeed ho. You start taking liberties which you hadn’t done before.
My issue is not so much with her outburst… her choice of words weren’t the best… however when the writer is stupid enough to introduce a whole monologue filled with mahanta cr*p, these words seem smaller part of the problem even though it may appear like the root of the problem.
Jhanak’s expectations in love has been growing and she hasn’t a way to quell it. She believes Ani loves her but she is fearful of his association with Arshi in the sense that she perhaps recognises that Ani won’t find it easy to lead a life with her and have peace in his life. Agar aap sukoon chahte ho apni zindagi main toh aapko Arshi didi se saath hi zindagi main rehna hoga… that’s the belief she has carried. Also true that after the Kashmir episode, she has become wary of Ani’s volatility and it has been on display on a few occasions, his wedding with Arshi and then his absolute refusal to accept that there may be a grain of truth in her words. That hit her deep and while she forgave him..I don’t think she has forgotten it. Almost everything she said yesterday she meant… it was a no filter conversation… but if she was having a no filter conversation, why did the filter come on when it came to her side of the story? That’s my question to the writers… You can’t set up a reprieve through a monologue designed to say that “Oh Sirjee I know you have given your heart to me but I know you will have issues with your family” what a cop out!! So to turn him away you chose to attack for exactly the things you have a problem with Sirjee… this is unlike the post Rahul shaadi fiasco where Ani becomes ill becos of her outburst where at least we knew what her mind and heart were saying. She ranted at Ani and almost told him that I am your wife how can you think of doing this but couched it with Haq etc
Woh mahaanta ka chadar writers ne kal odhaya hain woh jhanak ke characterisation pe baith nahin raha…Jhanak mahaan nahin hain aur yeh narrative ne har kadam par yahi bataya hain.. It’s not mahanta that stops her from claiming Ani but mostly her fear that Ani will not stand by her when the going gets tough. If Ani has an issue about the do naav ki savaari Jhanak is another kind of do naav ki savaar. She flits between the “ I expect this from Sirjee” and the “ Sirjee cannot do this”
Writers are not clued into the overall broad vision and are instead trying to force fit Sitara bahu characteristics into situations. Go back and check if Jhanak has ever been happy with Ani’s doing what she asks him to do!! Never or rarely!! Today if you give me the monologue I won’t buy it..
I know some of you may think why have I defended her outburst… but attacked the monologue. For me her monologue was very poorly explained. I don’t react to this serial emotionally… I am guided by what the writer tells me. I haven’t read Jhanak as a mahanta ki moorat… she stops herself in situations coz her mind fears the consequences. Mahanta is when you are happy with what you choose. Yahan Jhanak is deeply possessive of Ani in that respect. Which is why the monologue made no sense.
As for the insulting…there were far better ways to trouble Ani…the writers chose bullshi*t dialogues chalo chodo!!
.....itna patience and kindness Ani ko toh kabhi nahin dikhaya....toh one is forced to conclude ki AK the superstar ka glamor has blinded her ki ab BFF ka darja bhi use de diya Rahul ko bhool ke
)....but I'm again struck by the fact that Jhanak has no real cognizance of how easily she could be violated by all these men she casually allows into her life.
