The narrative centers on Ani's distrust of Jhanak, driven by the perceived threat of another man in her life. Jhanak has done little to allay his fears, and anything related to this threat carry significant emotional weight, evoking fear, anger and vulnerability in Ani. In contrast, Ani appears willing to overlook Arshi's criminal actions—perhaps because she is supposedly fighting to stay with him (conveniently disregarding her callous act of abandoning him during his heart attack), or because she doesn’t hold the same deep emotional significance in his life. Ani's journey must lead to him developing unconditional trust in Jhanak, supported by Jhanak's own efforts to bridge the gap, while his illusion of trust in Arshi collapses. However, fatigue is setting in, risking audience indifference toward these characters due to Leena's failure to establish a compelling anchor point for Runak.
After 400 episodes, no one is sitting around to see any journey of Ani "developing" unconditional trust.....lol and it is very clear that Leena is not showing anyone's journey here. She is just jumping erratically from gimmick to gimmick. There is no form of jealousy that trumps the kind of life and death trauma that Runak have navigated since Ani's HA track...this is a cheap stunt from Leena, nothing else.
Problem is not that Ani can't feel insecure cuz yes, Jhanak doesn't bother ever giving him any sense of assurance.....even her clarification regarding AK being just her friend came much later and her insistence on always running back to Mumbai, to AK always keeps Ani on edge.
Ani's core issue always is that he doesn't feel valued in Jhanak's life. Even if we keep his love seperate from this equation, on a basic level also it's been a long time since Jhanak has shown any respect/regard for his support or help towards her....she feels entitled to dismissing it constantly with the excuse of needing to push him away from herself....all of this inevitably builds up the hurt inside him which lashes out in various ways. Just look at how much Ani has supported her in this court case - but the whole time she was giving him stern looks while BBG was the one showing him some basic compassion.
When Ani says "main bhi insaan hoon, mujhe bhi bura lagta hai", is there anyone other than BBG off late who has given him sympathy as a human being? Nope....it's a pity that Leena keeps repeating this cycle of showing Ani's one angry fit erasing all his long list of good deeds.....but I remember all that's happened along the way. The incessant propping up of cheap bitches like Arshi, Jhanak's rude/entitled behavior being justified while Ani is judged on every mistake and stupidity. This is the narrative Leena pushes in the story....I never see a single character accepting that Ani is the one who pulls Jhanak out of almost every storm but they all come in a horde to point fingers at him ki you didn't believe J this time, uska saath nahin diya blah blah....lol so where were all these people jab Ani ne saath diya tha? Did they give Ani's saath then? Nope.
