If we're to situate a sense of a narrative and I'm afraid to call it growth or character regression... the narrative suggests a perfect innuendo, a deep seated pragmatism that jhanak has in such a unique way cribbed as the status quo. Not that arshi WILL be there but Arshi SHOULD be there, it's interesting to note the lack of originality of any claims of insecurities on jhanak's part.
Maybe it's a satiric malice on leena's side, her intent is always suspect. Because jealousy and pain should be evident on her thoughts and actions but what the writer brings foward is a conventional non grata in the form of timorous acts. Even through her pain it's still unacceptable to the story.
All I'm saying is jhanak feeling insecure of ani's intentions and actions is simply stupid.
Bold - hits the bull’s eye on this
Usually I am not drawn into character pitting one against the other cos I am always wondering what’s the writer’s motive in a build up like this… that too a love story
Priya @PPAk always said Jhanak never forgave Ani for the slight of “discarding” her post the night in Kashmir. Since those scenes were so vague I didn’t think much about it…cos by not showing Ani in actual delirium and his casual talk I put that down to his usual style of postponing a confrontation ( ideally how could he have said anything to Arshi on phone) in any case. But in some ways I suppose Leena set that up as a turning point for J in the narrative. Some treated J as silly for Didi Jhaap some said Ani was behaving badly in anger etc
the way J’s character developed is bizarre
What I read is J has No interest in her own love story but my point has been this…. I don’t think I would lampoon a character for choosing to stay away from what she sees as a messy association and the narrative hasn’t shown her actively seeking Ani’s company ( her only bizarre turn was her doing Didi seva in the baby birth track). So today her laying blame at Ani’s door for the current situation doesn’t make sense when so far she has always sought to stay away… even brought up someone’s kid in a village on her own toh yeh Kaunsi badi thi uske liye? 🤷🏻♀️
