I never post but MT your questions prompted me to write. I just want these two to work as I probably have never wanted anybody else to.
I don't think Jai is being Selfish, I think he is only (and rightly so) being a protective father as Anu said. To him Jigyasa seemed to be attacking his child. I think his use of the word "Mera Bacha" is so that Jigyasa knows this fact and is under NO misconception that He is the father.
Has Jai's primary concern become his Child that Bani is carrying rather than Bani herself? Both mother and child are his concerns. when Jai Walia loves he loves completely whichever relationship. I think you cannot compare Bani and child with respect to Jai's love for them or his concern.
Would Jai have stopped Bani from leaving his house if Bani wasn't Pregnant? I think he would let her leave for for her benefit. However after a few days without her in the house (where everyone would have found him really awful to be around as he would be so miserable. Remember how he felt where he was under a lot of "Chinta" about Bani when she had gone to sleep with Rano.) and after a inner struggle with himself, he would have gone looking for her and tried all nakhra's to bring her back.
The reason I think this is that THE Jai Walia has never really experienced "REAL LOVE" where you feel that you have lost a part of you when someone you love is not around you. If he had let Bani go, this is how he would have felt all the time. He would have no choice but be compellled to go get her back to find himself. True Love makes you do things you probably would never ever do even if it is The JAI WALIA. I think deep within he even know that Bani cares for him and I think that he would reason with himself that he would give Bani 10 fold more love and happiness to wash away all the unhappiness that has come her way- at times indirectly because of him (accident) and at times directly becuse of him (Using her as a emotional punch bag to direct his anger for Pia)
If Bani insists on leaving Jai and the House, do you think that Jai will go to any extent to make her stay or will he let her go? Yes he will make her stay but all Jai Walia style. I think he might suggest that she stay in outhouse as long as she stays at Walia house (so that she does not have to have much contact with him as thats what she wants). he will probably use the baby as "emotional" leverage as in its her responsibility also and she should think about the advserse affects on the baby i.e. if she goes away how would she look after herself let alone the baby as she has no job right now. Maybe he will say that she can come back to work (Very selfish reasons here - he can keep an eye on her) and when she is financialy capable and after the baby is born than she can go with the baby (allowing him to see baby every now and then of course). This gives him enough time so that THE JAI WALIA ka jaadu chal jaye. That would give him 9 right to work on Bani at home and work 😉
What do you think Bani's next course of action would be? Will she try to forget her past and accept her fate and future as Jai and their child or will she fight it out with Jai and leave him? She will try to leave but if Jai uses the welfare of the child to make her stay she will stay. She understands the need for a stable home evironment (esepcailly lack of money she has had to fight for most of her life. She would not want that for her child). I thinks she would stay back if she feels that her swabhiman is not being hurt - i.e she is working to support herself and baby and she is being faithful to her mum's memory i.e she stays in the outhouse and hates Mr Walia
What do you think you would have done, if you were in Bani's position today? If I was Bani I would have found it very hard to forgive Mr Walia for my mum and dad BUT I would put my child first and stay with the above conditions. Over time I am sure "Jai Walia Magic" 😛 would work wonders
Do you think that Jai really & truly loves Bani or is the thought of their child which will lead him to take desperate measures to work out their relationship? Jai Feels TRUE loves for his wife,(The TRUE LOVE that only some lucky souls feel) and it would have hurt him to let her go, with or without child. I think somewhere the way that they got married also makes it hard for him to believe Love can happen in that situation. He is unable to recognize love and doesn't understand his feelings but I think he is starting to and Now as Bani ignores him he will feel THAT pinch and understand the meaning of this ehsaas even more.
Really sorry for this babble but I had to get it out.
