Well, Gayatri effectively reminded us today that she has a memory problem. In becoming Akash's champion and trying to ensure that he has all the comforts, support and love that he didn't have through out his life, she is completely forgetting that it was Yash who brought Akash into the house in the first place and Yash who was the strongest crusader for his cause, long before it was cool and trendy to support Akash. Had she thought back this far, she would have realised that Yash must have a reason for turning on Akash with such blind fury.
While I do feel terrible for Yash on the one hand in the immediate context, there is another part of me that can't help revel in the delicious irony of it all. One of the biggest open loops of the show was that Yash didn't know how Aarti was treated by his family at the beginning of the PV because he would always walk off stormily and leave Aarti to face all the flak from his family, even for no fault of her own. The literal way to close this loop would have been to have him find out about the past, but I see now that that would have been preachy and not very interesting in terms of storyline. This, on the other hand is fantastic. Suddenly, Yash finds himself the outsider and the image of his divine parents that has been cultivated, nurtured and enabled by the entire family, including our Aarti herself, can finally shatter to make way for a much healthier parent-adult child relationship.
The way Gayatri treated Yash today is exactly how she used to treat Aarti at the outset of the PV, assuming that "her son" was right in any given situation and negotiating everything from that presumed standpoint. And now Yash is getting a taste of that very bitter medicine, something he was never privy to before, having always been in the position of Gayatri's beloved son rather than the "outsider" who was causing suffering to the son. I love how the CVs have brought the story around to show experiencing what it is to be an outsider rather than just seeing it with his eyes. In addition, he is facing many of the same pressures that Aarti did from the family. He is expected to be an infinite well of patience, take all accusations, true or false, in stride, and is given impossible ultimatums to correct a mistake that was never his in the first place. This reminds me so much of how Aarti was expected to "fix" the damaged Yash in a matter of months when his psychological issues were four years in the making, largely thanks to his family's haphazard handling of Arptia's loss.
But Yash does have one new dimension to face that compounds his pain. While Aarti was working to prove herself to people who started out as strangers to her, and could rationalise that they behaved the way they did because they didn't understand her, Yash is actually facing the same situation with the people who are supposed to know him better than anyone else. Where for Aarti there was a sense of injustice to be sure, for Yash it is elevated into a sense of betrayal. The only person who even entertained the possibility that Yash could be justified in his anger was SP but when it comes to Gayatri's blind support for who she sees as right, and who she feels instinctively driven to protect, no amount of valid reasoning can stand in her way and when she holds a grudge, she can be vicious in her every word. We have seen this in the past as well. The only difference is that it used to be in favour of Yash and not against him.
To compensate for all the people refusing to take responsibility for their actions, Aarti and Yash are spreading themselves too thin, trying to accommodate everyone's feelings and justifying their mistakes in an effort to keep the purpose of the operation, integrating Akash into the family, intact. Today for the first time we saw them actually having to split up and take different sides of the issue in order to continue doing that because Yash was not in a state to turn a blind eye to Akash, Gayatri and Pankaj and Aarti felt that she had to cover those bases. Even though she was not convinced herself and could not meet Yash's eyes when she was defending Akash, I felt that she did so as a sort of affirmational exercise, a symbolic effort to keep their focus on what they were trying to achieve, despite how futile it seemed at the moment. Unfortunately Yash completely misread this effort in his angry state.
Jyo brought up the excellent point about Arpita's loss still haunting Yash and I think that played into his reaction today. After all, he watched Arpita die in front of his very eyes, having missed saving her by just a few seconds. Nobody knows better than Yash what a few seconds difference could have meant in the dangerous situation Aarti was in and the thought was clearly torturing him. So as an audience member I do understand Yash's rage, but seeing it from the POV of Gayatri, Pankaj and even Akash, who have no idea what happened and saw only Yash losing his cool completely, I can also see why he might have seemed out of control for no apparent reason.
I found it so amusing how Gayatri characterises the aberrations in Yash's behaviour as Radha's khoon vs. her upbringing and the aberrations in Akash as her Radha's upbringing vs. her khoon. This explains why she is trying to overcompensate Akash with her love and attention, giving him the upbringing that will cancel out Radha's "harmful" one, and trying to shame Yash for his "ganda khoon" so he denies it entirely and embraces only her upbringing. I still see her trying very hard on a conscious level to be fair, but her emotions and subconscious are taking her on another ride altogether, one that she is unable to perceive.
