Demand Haq while all the while staying committed to Arshi!! Rich indeed…. Didn’t they have a pact not to associate any significance to that relationship? To hark back to those times when the relationship was fledgling at both end I don’t think is a fair reading of the character
That said, the character meandered along the way … certainly more on J’s side than Ani cos Ani made strong entreaties and efforts to break off with Arshi on realisation but the plot kept him engaged…reasonably fairly I agree until baby announcement and my empathy lay with Ani
But him staying in the last 5 years with Arshi wasn’t even explained in the narrative and to J how should she have perceived that information?
So one can’t say that her insecurities are completely misplaced… the places where she behaved absolutely stupid was in the tumour- post HA phase and also the baby birth where her involvement looked so fake so obviously she was written in a strange manner cos her conflicts looked bizarre at several junctures as if the writer couldn’t make up her mind whether to give make her pathetic, insecure, stupid, trusting, caring, fake mahaan, maniacal, resigned to fate revengeful or all these at once
But in this current phase… what is absolutely stupid is both characters having progressed so far behaving stupidly -Ani’s jealousy trait in his earlier phase was exploited by the writer to act as if Ani has no brain where J is involved but again only when it suited the narrative else Ani was cool as cucumber with a J’s marriage with his friend at an earlier stage whatever be his compulsions then & J who has resolved to stay away and then not sharing any information but now acting as if she has been cheated - makes no sense except for a perverted way for the writer to keep these two apart
