After reading a multitude of posts, I can understand why a lot of people still sympathize with Jai's attitude towards Bani! Actually, to be honest, even I do! What I really fail to understand is Bani's acceptance of everything in a resigned silence!😕
Jai is someone who is immensely successful, rich beyond imagination, extremely powerful, well respected, admired and cherished by everyone around him....yet, he is basically someone who is totally insecure about his own self! I remember a scene Mohan asks Jai that how could he fall so deeply in love with a girl whom he barely knew (referring to Pia) and Jai answers back that Pia gave him a new confidence that he never had, the Confidence to love someone...and then when she went out of his life, she took that confidence along with her forever!
Also, in the Friday episode, Roshni mentions to Jigyasa that Jai has always been a very insecure man, especially so in love! Now, Roshni is one female who seems to know Jai extremely well and hence she makes a telling point that Jai is very insecure in love!
More than anything, it is Jai's insecurity that is showing in his attitude and behaviour towards Bani! As Aditya so wonderfully puts across, that if Jai wanted he could have very well divorced Bani and let her live in peace and he could have also lived peacefully, but Jai did not let go of Bani, that could only mean that, unknowingly, Jai has come to become attached to Bani and given time, their relationship has ever chance to succeed! Infact Aditya is so sincere in what he says, that Roshni is rattled to hear it, in the sense that she realizes what Aditya is saying is true! Maybe that was the reason, that Roshni feels bad for Bani when Jai screams on her infront of Roshni!
Bani on the other hand has had a life totally contrary to Jai's privliged existence. Bani unlike Jai has faced poverty, deprivation, hardships and ultimately lonliness! Despite all this, Bani is someone who is basically a very secure person, someone who has complete faith in herself, in her ability to love unconditionally and someone who can move mountains to make her relationships work! Unlike Jai, who needs constant assurance from his loved ones that they love him and are always there for him, Bani is someone who can love with an other-wordly selflessness, someone who will love without any pre-conditions, without any doubts and most importantly without anyone loving her back!👏
Hence, the clash in their attitudes result in Jai constantly yelling and putting down Bani and she in turn accepting everything with a monk like silence! Jai is undoubtedly falling in love with Bani, and falling in love with such depth and passion, that it scares the living daylights out of him! Just imagine, someone in his position, someone who has had a total of three relationships in his life (Roshni, Sonali and Pia) by the age of 40 and someone who has failed miserably in all of them! How much it would bring down a person's self-esteem and deflate his confidence! We don't know what transpired between Jai and Roshni, but in the end, their relationship could not work out, the same case happened with Sonali, Jai simply couldn't bring himself to fall in love with a woman who would have been an ideal soulmate to him and then the disaster called Pia happened in his life and it happened in the most public and humiliating way, totally razing Jai's masculinity, his sense of self, his confidence and his self-esteem to dust!
It would be so difficult for a man who has undergone three diastrous relationship to embark on a new one....with a girl whom he had never imagined in his wildest dreams, with a girl whom he was forced to marry, with a girl who's own sister has destroyed him....and what is really bugging Jai is that despite all that happened, he is still falling in love with Bani and he just doesn't want that to happen! Hence, the iron masking around him....Else, why would Jai crumple down looking guilty as hell when Bani has left his Office, else why would he give her those soft, affectionate looks when he assumes she is sleeping, else why would he just let go of himself and enjoy a light moment of flirtatious bantering with her, else why would he thunder and scream about taking revenge and then let Bani go without any conditions....it can only be love!
Now after my long, long post, here are some short, short questions:
What is your general perception of Roshni Chopra till now? Is she a negative person or a positive woman?
What do you think was the "important and urgent" thing that Jai wanted to tell Roshni about? Please note, that Jai looked desperate to say this to Roshni, as if he wanted to clear something off for ever, but at that very moment, Bani comes in upsetting his plans and hence, he immediately loses his temper!
What could possibly be the "mysterious" relationship Roshni shares with Jai?
Do you think that Roshni has come to get Jai back in her life or has she come back to settle scores with someone (It could be either Jai himself or Jigyasa) or has she come back to save Jai's marriage with Bani and redeem herself for some wrong she must have done to Jai years back?
Do you think Bani was more hurt about the fact that Jai shouted on her infront of Roshni or was she more hurt about the fact that Jai asked Roshni out to Lunch infront of Bani?
Do you think Jai's attitude towards Bani suggests nothing but plain and simple irritation and hatred towards his wife or is it a bad attempt to hide his true feelings of a growing love towards Bani?
Do you think what Aditya commented on Jai and Bani's relationship to Roshni is true? Has Jai really come to become attached to Bani or is it just Aditya's wishful thinking?
When Jai and Roshni are in Goa and Bani away in Mount Abu and Mausi comes over to Goa, what do you think will be a possible scenario? Do you think that Jai will have a last minute change of heart and mind and he will quitely fly off to Mount Abu to get Bani back?
Do you think that whenever the truth of Jai and Roshni's relationship will come out in the open, will that change Jai and Bani's relationship for good or for bad (It can't be possibly worse than it already is)
That is it for today....will be awaiting your answers!😃
Love,
