You know the story worked for me in the sense that Ani fell in love much later.. the transgressions were happening from his end in little ways as he was falling deeper and deeper.. he hadn’t met anyone like her before… the care she lavished on Apu Di… the way she stood up for things when he himself didn’t, ofc his attraction to her, his desire to see her succeed and that had become his personal goal of sorts and so to all those who keep bringing in the angle of cheating Arshi I want to always…life is lived in the greys…after what these two shared, it would have been impossible not to gravitate to each other and it would have taken a saint’s resolve to not to fall in love..
Ani’s exasperation that she was letting go of her chance in life mixed with his own expectations that he wouldn’t voice. Somewhere the Ad shoot was his unbecoming and he couldn’t contain it any longer but the conflict then reared its head and he assumed that she wouldn’t reciprocate and slowly he tried to let go… their last days in BH literally them indulging themselves and each other for a relationship they didn’t see fructifying for different reasons and for all that floodgates to break open at J’s outburst at him planning to marry her off when the Panditji had just the other day said their bond was eternal and him releasing the breath he had held for so long that she reciprocated his affections…
Ah those days!! Why did I remember it and write about it 🤦🏻♀️
