Realization of Love - Page 3

See I actually agree with that. I love seeing her lost to love. I'm not saying I think she's not acting her age, or following a certain level of maturity. I have no issues with her behaviour. And I'm not at all confused at why she's doing and saying what she is. Mumbai has been wonderfully handled.

I just have a really hard time reconciling this Aarti with the stoic one you mentioned. It was not a gradual change. It was like one day she got up, acknowledged the way she felt, and started acting accordingly. Because of the heavyhanded way her realization was handled (and how it fell neatly alongside G3's demands that she bring back old happy Yash), I'm having a hard time differentiating between when Aarti is behaving consciously and subconsciously.

I get that she had to open herself up to love before she could be swept away by it. Its definitely a different approach to love, and I quite like the way writers have illustrated the fact that people can fall in love again, and that each time is different. And at a certain age its not so easy to fall into love. You really have to open yourself up to the possibility first.

But leave some instinctual magic in it. Its one thing to have a couple make a conscious decision to open themselves up despite past pains. That's great. Its quite another to have such a decision come about as a result of constant haranguing and a sense of obligation. I would like to see and feel Aarti in every inch of her behaviour (in these scenes) and I don't.


Basically, what I'm saying is that, I do adore these scenes. But I would have liked Aarti to draw the connections herself, at her own pace. I understand there was a Mumbai deadline in place, but why did an acknowledgement of love have to precede it? Couldn't Aarti have been in love (sort of acknowledge it to us), and then come to Mumbai and have been swept away? So that when it slipped out, that would have been a nice "I love you" scene. Her acknowledgement would have felt like confirmation instead of a, 😲😲😲 "realllyyy??"

At the heart of this two Aarti's debate, I think what the writers are trying to do is re-write her character to suit the plot. That is what is frustrating me. They are cheating out Aarti's character development (by not devoting the correct amount of time and attention), in order to further Yash's character development (and his timeline).

*Edited: Anyways, great discussion everyone. I'm glad I'm not the only confused soul 😆. I guess there's nothing left to do but sit back and enjoy. What was mishandled is in the past. I have a feeling this 2 Aarti's track will be resolved in the coming week. New in-love Aarti will float back down to earth (), and blend a little with old Aarti, and I'll be able to know what is influencing her behaviour because there won't be such a division. Hopefully.
