It’s 2024….honestly everyone is better off without this toxic triangle…Ani can marry Jhanak and Arshi can find someone else even if they share a kid together…Arshi’s life will be better without Ani and vice versa….I hope she sticks to her decision this time and Jhanak and Aniruddh stick to theirs….because I don’t think a baby equates marriage so far both he and Arshi understand…I rather see him trying to have parental rights and Arshi resisting on that front…Aniruddh is not some superhero that it makes sense to want to go back to that environment where she was clearly unloved…he likes someone else and let this triangle end now…
Hi… I will come to the core part of your post in a bit but must say this serial is made with 70s sensibilities aiming for 2024 and acting as if they can cater to all audiences based on a muddled messaging 😂 I will explain
If I may say so your post posits something that is in the line vision of the story but the writer has no ( zilch) courage to state it as it is.. which is why there are veiled points of reference, euphemisms, but total BAKWAS TRACKS to achieve it.
Their otherwise nonsensical dialogues interspersed with some pearls of wisdom
Kya yeh pehli baar hua hain? Obviously nahin
Kya main pehla insaan hoon? Obviously nahin
Kya doosri baar pyaar nahin ho sakta? Obviously Haan
BUT
as a writer you have to present the theme of your story through the narrative and not use convoluted modes to explain it… Why is the viewer supposed to accept this divorce angle if the marriage itself wasn’t done? If the aim was to show a live in arrangement that is unravelling why show the BH folk calling It a bahu Lakshmi or whatever ( I don’t mind if a live in partner is called anything but don’t use ambiguous terms) if you are afraid of audience reaction don’t attempt something your conviction.isn’t totally into..
if the intention was to show relationships are complex, don’t walk gingerly around the theme and expect the audience to glean it with a wayward narrative
Why is the viewer supposed to empathise with Arshi in the story when they have made her only a footnote for 200 episode and a sub text for the rest and we are suddenly supposed to grieve for the loss of a love story that wasn’t!!
Now coming to the bit about the baby… this PH has zero ability to handle a theme of the kind you have mentioned and the conflicts arising out of that…If they intended that theme, they would have not have shown intimacy under a cloud….Can’t except audience to accept a fait accompli ( baby) situation if the writers has no understanding of how this medium works..
