Very well said, that is how I see the story narration as well. Even post tumor surgery, J says anyways you always return to Arshi didi. She realizes his attraction/attachment for her hence she says again and again do you want me as "rak...". Some say she is mahan, but in my interpretation it is just a "niqab" or self-preservation, or survival technique, to the kinda love she feels for him. Eventually she came to a phase ke mere liye sirji ko hasil karna zaroori nahi hai, bas mujhe hai toh hai, no defence, no explanations, no guilt, no going back, no need for him to know either. (Ani monologue, kabhi mujh se nahi kaha lekin Arshi se kah rahi hai)
We all saw how many lies Ani told Arshi and his fam to keep J at BH. But could J see that? did she know it? It was mostly hidden from her, even at one point Choton could not understand, Ani had to spell it out to him.
One thing I did not mention. I think until Kashmir night- I think J did think that Sirji had some feelings for her...she was confused with his pendulum behavios - because he would show his care and then completely do a 180 for his family, Post Kashmir night is when she started doubting and then getting more and more certain of his love for Arshi till again surgery. Then again slowly started believing him till she saw him bartering with Arshi for the right to be with her during bad times by offering Arshi conjugal rights and then baby conception nailed it.
Right now she cannot align mann and thann being at odds where love is concerned - so she is thinking Ani loves Arshi but also wants her - so do naav wala dialogs again.
I do believe Ani has not been able to mentally move away from 2 naav - one naav is zimmedhari and one is love. For the first time - he is shown in today as not letting the zimmedhari be equal to love and has love completely overshadowing a legitimate reaction to his own child being harmed.
1.7 trp should have given Leena pause for cause. Lets see what she does. Is she bold enough to separate the 2 again? Status quo is risky now.
