Agar aag track me Jhanak ke piche bhaagta toh audience hi kehti " Chhi! Yeh kaisa spineless character hai jo apni beemar girlfriend ke bajaay apne new lover pe dhyan de Raha hai".
@bold: Wohi toh....how easily everyone forgets the terrible choices put in front of him each time.....Arshi was shown lying burnt in a hospital and supposedly in so much trauma/needing positive environment for recovery....aisi haalat mein Ani feeling a compulsion to make extra efforts for her recovery rather than dwelling on his feelings for Jhanak was understandable....execution ofcourse was still poor only in Leena's script but general intent was understandable....where they messed up that track was showing Ani believing that Jhanak could ever harm Arshi deliberately....but anyways by now we are well versed with Leena's contrivances so that is par for the course.
People get hung up on things like SR ke liye agree kar liya, Arshi ko rok liya rather than getting what his overall personality is.....it tends towards showing empathy for whoever is in pain or struggling. Jhanak never approaches Ani to beg for sympathy for her pain or misfortunes - she instead always shows ATTITUDE to him, puts him down and mocks him....she did the same during her pregnancy reveal also which she timed in the worst possible way as usual right on the heels of having kicked him out of her room in Mumbai.
Arshi on the other hand always finds a way to display bechaargi in front of Ani with full support and propping up via Ani's family constantly bashing and pressurizing him to do khidmat and ghulaami of Arshi.
Ani is not removed from his circumstances as some of the narratives here try to portray....there is a larger context of why he gets cowed down everytime even though I'm hardly a fan of the cowing down either....but to use it to cheapen his integrity each time is playing into Leena's hands and the cheap narrative she builds against him.
Even now Ani would have been shamed if he didn't agree to marry Arshi in the face of everyone including Jhanak pressurizing him and instantly passing judgement on the situation even when he said he can't remember what happened.....
