18/5 Dragon Club :Aarti's Trust on Yash is Nailed

Before the show ends today, I hope that its decided if Aarti will stay or...

Aarya can't be separated! Their bond is eternal! My marbles might be missing as everyone knows, but that's the truth.

Koon bahay hai aapke koon ke liya?

Was Gayatri upset that Yash got hurt or was she upset that he got hurt because of Ansh. The way Gayatri was blaming Aarti today was as if she had intentionally put Yash in this condition. Had Yash been put in this condition due to Paypal would Gayatri be as upset? No one in the family showed a hint of appreciation that Ansh was back safe and sound. They were more worried about the fact that Yash had shed his blood for Ansh. Again this goes to show that no matter what Ansh will always receive secondary treatment from the senior Schindias but it is the youth that is ready to embrace others as their own. Aarti is willing to embrace Paypal. The youth in the family Pankaj, Prateek, and Vidhi see Aarti and Ansh as family member and feel responsibility towards them but are helpless. And Yash well words are not enough to describe him! He proved that soul connections are much higher than blood relations. Yash is Ansh's true father. He may not be his father by blood but he is the only one that deserves the title of father.

The secondary treatment towards Ansh and Aarti was once again shown when they took Yash home without informing Aarti or Ansh. Even though Aarti and Ansh were not given their rights as Yash's wife and son they went back to fulfill their duties. Aarti had decided that Yash had fulfilled every duties and vows which he took during the wedding to the core. That no matter how much inhumanity and disrespect she might have to endure that it was now her turn to fulfill her responsibilities. As expected as soon as she entered the house she was again reminded that there was no longer any room for her in that household. Why what had she done so bad that they the family so conscious of their public image decided to break the marriage after less than two weeks? Is it because she also urged Yash to fulfill his part of the marriage vows? Or was it because she didn't follow every rule without any questions that she dared to have a mind of her own? The schindias expected an orthodox wife like Gayatri. One who would fulfill the job of a nanny, produce a budhape ka sahara, and massalge Yash's feet. That is what the youth in the house went to question? Gayatri went what magic has Aarti worked in this house that everyone learned to have a mind of their own and voice it. Sorry G3 but Aarti isn't a follower but a revolutionary who will change and progress thing for the better and she is here to stay whether you like it or not.

When Aarti was in pain the only person that truly sensed and responded to it was Yash. Today when Yash was in pain Aarti was the only one who could sense it. She catered to his thirst and pain and fulfilled her duty as wife the same way he had as a huspand? She thought that she would leave after fulfilling her duties but the question will Yash let her. He was holding on to her hand so tight she had no choice but to stay. See its destiny Aarti you two are meant to be together? No family conditions due to ego, struggles or insecurities will be able to break this bond apart.

*Ye Dil Hai female version*

So one thing is clear, Gayatri never appreciated Aarti as a mother. If she did, she would have never asked the redundant and silly questions she did today. I sympathise with the character, I completely understand her lashing out at Aarti but where I draw the line is her claiming that Aarti does not know what a mother's love is and has no idea how it feels when your son's life is hanging in the balance...ummm I'M SORRY?! COME AGAIN? WHAT THE WHA--? What did you witness just a few hours ago you silly woman? That's right, it is what you are experiencing yourself right now but you are too blind to see it because you don't really understand that Aarti is a mother or that Ansh is her child. To you, Ansh is merely extra baggage that requires storage and minimal maintenance and certainly is not worth 10 crores!

But this takes me back to the first scene when Gayatri saw Aarti with Ansh and approved of her. We all assumed at the time that she was impressed by the mother in Aarti but perhaps even at that point she conveniently blocked Ansh out of the picture and saw only the lively but graceful young woman that Aarti is. Even from then, it becomes apparent, she was not looking at Aarti as a mother but as a girl, somehow separable from her son because she wanted a real family. Little did she know that "ansh" is not external to Aarti but a part of her as his name suggests. She can cut him off and function the way she could cut a limb off and function! But somehow the Scindia parents are so blinded by their own "success" as defined by society that they are nowhere willing to accept that something alien to them could be right and they could be wrong.

I think the worst thing about Gayatri's rant today was that it completely stripped Yash of agency. I spent my whole last take dedicated to how Yash had broken the gender and blood relation stereotypes of fatherhood and redefined the term for himself and Gayatri, by accusing Aarti of causing Yash's current condition along with Ansh, is completely undermining the great leap of love Yash took with this gesture, and the satisfaction, the SUKOON that it gave him. This was a choice he made, not bad luck that Aarti brought! In her eyes Yash is imprisoned as a child with no knowledge of what he wants, easily manipulated, who needs to be told what is good for him, as are all their sons. That is frankly insulting to any man, and especially a man of Yash's character.

But it has also begun to dawn on the other Scindia brothers how utterly helpless they are in their own home despite being grown men with responsibilities and maturity. For the first time their parents are not doing the right thing and they know it. They are respectfully approaching the throne of the king and laying their complaint at his feet, but this won't last if they continue to be unheard. It was wonderful to hear Pankaj speak up today, and that too on behalf of Yash, hitting exactly the right nerve for his mother.

To be honest, I think the Scindias have bit off more than they can chew. They wanted to project an image of being progressive role models without actually believing in what they were doing. Their ulterior motive was to get an indebted bahu and accolades but what they have instead is a revolutionary and a pocket-sized revolutionary! Aarti is not doing anything to the others, contrary to Gayatri's constant chant. She is merely being herself, and the Scindias are outing themselves to their open minded and righteous children by not following through with the promises they made when they married Aarti into the family. They are the cause of their own undoing and that has been beautifully woven.

If yesterday was my day to fall in love with Yash, today is my day for Aarti. She was deliberately abandoned and yet she came back, she fought for her and Ansh's right to see and speak with Yash, a right that he gave them hours before. Today they were treated with all honesty to the mindset of the Scindias, made to live like outsiders in a house that was meant to accept them. But that didn't stop Aarti from being the only one to hear Yash's barely audible groans, to relieve his thirst, to lessen his pain as he tossed and turned. And in turn he grabbed on to her hand. She wasn't supposed to be there but HE wanted her to stay, he held on to her and that is what strengthened her resolve not to leave until she spoke with him, asked for his forgiveness. I couldn't help but think of her first morning at Scindia house where we all debated whether it was a good idea for her to go looking for Ansh despite Gayatri telling her not to. I am glad she did it then because it got established as a trait of her character and when she did it again today, I thought with endearing delight, "That's our Aarti!"
