New Beginnings - Page 3

I don’t think Arshi is faking coz pls getting wwed after getting pregnant is common in itv but yes it would be ideal if she reveals how she got to pregnant. But even if she doesn’t it’s fine, a lot of things have been brushed under the rug in this show, one more to the list.. I am more excited to see jhanak and ketki ben dynamics..

Yes!! I thought I was the weird one for being find with everything that’s going on now. Jhanak and Vihaan are looking like their own FL and ML already because of all the things happening right now and how usual they are for itv shows. And I don’t even mind Arshi’s ww and the complexity that comes with her changing. It would be best if she confesses to Ani under what circumstances they had a kid and he can make the choice to forgive and stay and they can grow, because it’s not like both of them haven’t made mistakes, same goes for Jhanak. If the show ends on this parallel track…and everyone is able to be happy and resolved at the end, I think it would reflect how complex humans are and how people fall in love and what it looks like when separation is what comes next….besides I think it’s time ITV deals with the real human fact that many times in history, it’s not the apparently good people that always win. Arshi might seem like an opportunist for just changing at this moment and winning the spoils….but number one, who doesn’t have that streak. Number two, it’s not weird for pregnancy to cause reflection. And number three, let’s face it - if she is faking change and wants to do so till her life ends, it’s a matter of perspective if she is cruel as others say or just very intelligent…because it looks like Arshi is using her brain right now (though this might change). I’ve always been fascinated at how PLs and Vamps are built to self sabotage themselves and act in ways that cause barriers for themselves so to show ‘even when they had everything, they still weren’t worthy of it’ because in what world, would someone like Arshi loose so badly to Jhanak, as she already has? I know love is something that can’t be bought - but the way Ani and Jhanak are built, I think that thing between them was only developed and nurtured because Arshi was acting a certain way and kept acting that way. If Arshi had been smart and calm like this from the beginning, regardless of her real feelings, I bet Ani’s feelings wouldn’t have shifted before in my opinion, Ani’s love for Jhanak seems like the type that isn’t impossible to make go away with reputation of the ‘right things’. He is that predictable and if I can see it from here, Arshi can. If she has decided to really change, good. If she just wants to get all she wants, good. No matter what, I am cool with the two couples finale like this.

I am able to resonate with a part of your comment here. The whole Runak story for me hinged on the fact that Ani fell in love with Jhanak in Kashmir, and was unable to accept the fact himself so he used the excuse of Arshi Shristi despicable behavior to their own relative as a means to justify his guilt and pursue J further. J saw the wrong happen, but being alone in the owrld found it difficult to give up the only person who she saw actively caring for her well being. She jostles between a sense of being married legally to Ani vs the guilt of coming between Ani & Arshi. Her take seemed to be - either Ani be committed to Arshi and not behind the scenes care for J as he was doing OR leave Arshi and accept Runak marriage. Tho she never said the latter her reactions always seemed to imply this. Hence her hypocrisy.

Runak were both feeling one way and saying another. Regardless Ani's claim that he got attracted to J because of Arshi's mistakes is not justified via the script for me. In that case the guilt he has built up would not be justified. He could have just walked away saying I cant live with a person like Arshi. Truth is he fell in lov eand yet cheated Arshi because of his inability to confront his truth on time. Also his need for J to commit to break up with one he did not love.

Next part of the story will clear one thing. If Arshi's changed behavior causes Ani to start adjusting to life with her and even being happy, then the viewers will have to accept that his love for Jhanak was only due to Arshi's change in character and wish him and Arshi well in their married life. Jhanak also is saying tht when 2 people live together in harmony they will eventually be happy with eo.

All seems fine. But Ani Arshi have zero chemistry and so with Vihaan J. Where is the interest in story from now on? Chandni is a sub std actress and even her becoming good is looking like a fake drama. For a couple of weeks Guj drama may seem ok to watch, after that no one will have interest in watching these 2 couples.

Runak is what is pulling in eyeballs. However much they reduce the lead pair in terms of characterization, makers are only hurting themselves in the long run. Runak in one frame is what will keep the show running. Go see all of Starplus promos or instaposts- they are all focussed on Runak. Not on Vihaan or Arshi. These 2 are not even copied on the posts.

Jhanak's story has to be abt Ani or her udaan. Nothing else has the ability to keep viewers interested.

People get so pissed that Ani always trust Arshi, respects her while treats Jhanak like a piece of s*it. Arshi and Jhanak both went through the same situation but the reaction Ani gave were extremely different. But still what Ani feels for Jhanak is hailed and defended as true love.. What's love without trust, respect and understanding?🤔... In my eyes mere attraction but who cares as long as they're leads they will be hailed and their infidelity will be gloried..

It’s weird that people speak of complexities. It’s Leena’s writing not Shakespeare or renowned writer who beautifully encompasses complexities of characters. All the “complexities” are self inflicted. Khud hi chize complicate karo, khud hi sab barbaad karo and khud hi victim ban jao and dusro pe blame daldo

And I agree with your earlier post. A lot of people have given up on runak now. I just gave up on them a bit earlier. Before kashmir track, I may not have actively shipped runak but I did like them.. yes there were tracks which disappointed me. Like it was annoying to see J call herself a maid and live in BH even when she had 7 lakhs. Date night could've been executed in a better way. But that's fine.. I was hopeful that makers will show a decent story.

But after kashmir track things badly went downhill. There was absolutely no need to show intimacy then pregnancy and then tumor. Literally every track made the leads villian to an extent the side characters started looking sane.. but kya kare trp toh aa rahi hai. People complain of toxicity but also hail when leads show toxic traits.. even now one runak scene and everyone is going gaga toh kal ko leena full fledge ema bhi dikhayegi still everyone will support and defend... And leena "solos" ka kate ya na kate runak fans ka day one se kaat rahi hai and khushi se log katwa bhi rahe hai. Bas ek lollipop and everything back to square one.

Have a completely different take on this.. I have watched the Kashmir track and nowhere it felt that Ani instantly fell for Jhanak. He was just being friendly, helping her coz he genuinely felt ki hai bechari kitna bura hua hai iske sath.. let me cheer her up.. the same thing what Arshi did before getting jealous… Being sympathetic to someone isn’t love.. and while she spoke of dreams, he admired her and again that’s not love… You can’t have love at first sight when you’re in a 7 year old relationship.. He was so pissed during the Kashmir wedding… ki main aaj ke baad kisi ki help nahi karunga.. Jhanak constantly assured that it’s a fake marriage… While coming to Kolkata, in cab he spoke so fondly of Arshi.. So it was never love at first sight.. Yes definitely with time he might’ve fallen out of love with Arshi’s actions and jhanak’s interference..

Yes we all perceive things differently. Ani in his dream - clearly tells J he fell in love with her the moment he saw her. Arshi also says this that Ani fell in love with J the first time he saw her in Kashmir but has not been able to set aside his responsibilities. Ani was clearly attracted to J in his first visit to Kashmir and kept seeking her out intentionally! There were enough moments where they did feel the physical pull as well. Ani likely knew he was in a serious relationship and so did not choose to accept it. From day 1 in Calcutta he had stopped thinking of Arshi and had J on his mind even while being with Arshi.

If after all this nonsense, Leena at least shows Jhanak moving on with Vihaan that’ll still be bearable.. Had se zyaada bekar bana diya hai use.. someone rightly pointed out runak ki barbadi mein J holds the maximum share.. but jo hogaya so hogaya.. Today her scene with Ahaan was sweet. Trp audience likes these kind of things so agar ab phir se ise Ani ke piche bagaya with mind husband crap toh it would be hard to connect.. Online audience ko bas runak single frame mein chahiye even if it’s ema.. i read comments ki kaash Leena ek hug and forehead kiss bhi add karti.. they enjoy these scenes but not trp aunties.. Again it’s online audience giving imp to Arshi. Jhanak ki story hai, as much as people argue ki runak brings trp, agar Leena chahe toh ani arshi and BH ko erase kar sakti hai.. agar new family establish hogayi toh slowly a lot of things will fade.. already Adi, and lalon’s family are gone.. baaki bhi jayenge..
