Someone in the DC said this and I agree: that Aarti had made Ansh accepting Yash a FAR easier task for Yash than made it for Aarti.
Also the fact that Ansh has never had a father ... he's never seen him or had the feeling of loving him .. he's only wanted one because he sees other kids in his school have a father and yearns for that love.
But Palak has been surrounded by people like Gayatri and Bua who've been a very bad influence on them, Bua more to be exact. They've injected venomous thoughts into her mind hence it is so much harder for Aarti to break through to her.
But I like what you said and today it seemed like even Aarti took a 'bullet' through Yash's words and actions.
I just hope everyone is able to make Palak understand that Aarti didn't mean to hurt her.. I am taking a guess that Ansh might talk to her .. which will be a sweet surprise =)
