Before Aarti and Yash's marriage, Gayatri did not want Aarti to bring Ansh with her. She feared that Aarti would neglect the girls. Gayatri always insinuated that Aarti is forgetting the girls and Yash because of her obsessive love for Ansh, her biological child.
Aarti on the other hand felt that she had to be very protective of Ansh. She didn't see anyone else taking on the responsibility to assimilate Ansh into the fold. Even if someone had offered help, she wanted to be in control and do it herself.
Aren't we seeing a role reversal here or a connection.
Gayatri today is in a similar position as Aarti, emotionally. She feels she is the one who has to bring Akash's justice. In her obsession to get that done, she fails to see other people who are willing to help, mainly Yash and Aarti. She is going out of her way to make sure Akash is assimilated in the family and in the meantime forgetting to nurture the relationship that has been with her for years. She had accused Aarti of treating the kids differently and now she is doing the same.
