Dibya,
Waise AY & Nina have responded to this point already based on how Leena is using the periphery of itv to manage her love storyβ¦.. jisme shaadi is footnote πππ
I donβt think I can respond to this query of sensibilities.. . about what is justifiedβ¦ for you their dalliance is wrong becos their marriage brokeβ¦but she isnβt making a serial based on one kind of sensibility ππ so she is managing based on a periphery like Jo tumko ho pasand wahi baat kahenge πππ where the tumko is a wider audienceβ¦
If as a writer, I am asked to justify the serialβ¦ I would sayβ¦
Is a relationship sacrosanct because one is married?
Is a relationship sacrosanct becos two people treat it as significant/important to mean something
Is a relationship sacrosanct because people spent time together whether incompatible or not?
Just playing the devilβs advocate hereβ¦
Within this serial they got Ani to meet Jhanak under difficult circumstances while almost betrothed to Arshiβ¦ Ani-Jhanak were forcibly married but they kept denying the marriage which was completed ritually and therefore a valid marriage under law. Hypothetically, they could have applied for an annulment & Ani could have continued supporting Jhanak in her endeavours, considering Jhanak as his responsibility and their meetings could have continued; if Ani continued meeting Jhanak, Pyaar toh tab bhi ho sakta thaβ¦
& those meetings would have still caused a furoreβ¦ becos why would a fiancΓ© generally accept her hubby to-be to be so involved in a young girlβs life? Kalesh toh tab bhi hota. Ani and Arshi would have fought/reconciled/married etc
in a wayβ¦serial main almost aisa hi huaβ¦ situation aaj wahi hainβ¦ if you watch closely.
Itβs just that Leena looked at a way in which more sensibilities are assuaged or managed so she made the two fall in love under the wedded umbrella and saara kalesh manage kiyaβ¦ phir dono ki annulment karvayiβ¦Kalesh ki wajah Arshi ko in the equation main aise rakha ki kuch viewers Confujiya gaye ki Arshi kya hain? 
Kalesh ki badi wajah rakha aur story ko chala rahi hain kyunki Ani babu Arshi ko pehle bata nahin paaye ki use Jhanak se pyaar hain and Arshi apna pound of flesh ke liye wait kar rahi hainβ¦
Lekin is sab main Lovebirds are enjoying cos Leena says pyaar kiya toh darna kya?
