So, today's episode 😉. I'm issuing a bit of a warning. This post is not very nice to Yash. He was less than wonderful today
Poor Anshu😭.
Its horrible that a step-father, who has not yet received any permission from Aarti, to yell at his 4-year-old step-son, did so, and in front of everyone. Does it feel good to get yelled at by a teacher in school (when you're a teenager), or by a boss at work (when you're an adult)? It feels humiliating and crushing actually. So then why is it acceptable to yell at children in front of others? Parents should never do this.
Yash is justified though. Ansh misbehaved, and Aarti said nothing. But Ansh's misbehaving at the table wasn't the sole influencing factor. The truth is Yash didn't yell at Ansh to discipline him because of his stunt with Pankaj (Pankaj is such a darling btw⭐️) .
He had bottled up his anger (from the bathroom mess incident), glared at Ansh (poor little boy) when he came to breakfast, and then yelled at him when he acted out. I'm not saying, he didn't get rightly angry, I'm saying he handled it horribly. Yash should have spoken to Aarti and asked her to get Ansh in line, following the whole bathroom mess. But instead he kept it to himself. Until he couldn't anymore. There's a difference between disciplining a child, and releasing your frustration on them. If someone (Aarti) had done that to PayPal he would have lost his ever-loving mind.
Yash needs to come out from his own little world. He needs to stop silently observing and deliberating and actively participate in his (new) family life. He sits there, still as a statue, while chaos ensues around him, and expects his perch to be undisturbed.
He can't just expect everything to stay the same. Yash is verrry set in his ways. This will have to change. Arpita might have been happy to silently take Gayatri's lectures, but Ansh won't stand for Aarti being mistreated. Arpita might have been happy to iron Yash's shirts (just the way his OCD-self adores), but Aarti might not be so indulgent. Aarti is not Arpita, who will exist happily in his world. I have a feeling he's in for a rude-awakening.
I love GC (believe me😳 lol) , but sometimes I feel like hero-worship blinds viewers to the realities of Yash's character. Don't get me wrong. Yash is awesome. But he is not meant to be perfect, and if we were to find him at fault for something, then that's fine. He doesn't have to do everrryyything right. Call a spade a spade, and admit that he DOES owe Ansh an apology
Aarti's actions are something entirely different. She should have had this conversation with Ansh earlier. The one explaining to him about the realities of living in an extended family home, with a new father and 2 new sisters. But she didn't, and now he's hurt and confused. What else is she to do, but try to make him feel better? Her actions and words following the incident were not all that bad. That was not the time to sit him and down and explain the whys and ways of their new world. That was the time to try and make him happy. Plus, Yash deserved a scolding.
That is not a way to talk to a little boy who's just learned that dreams of him and his "smart and handsome naya papa" were not going to come true. The talking can come later, after Ansh has calmed down. Once Yash and he have apologized to each other. Ansh doesn't come from a family that disciplines with harsh words. Those few words of Yash's probably broke his heart and scared him a little.
PS: Did anyone else notice that Ansh had only started banging the utensils when Gayatri started explaining why Aarti got less money? There's a bit of a pattern here. Aarti stays quiet when she gets yelled at, or put in place. But Ansh can't just sit back. Whether he's consciously trying to divert attention away from her, or whether he's trying to drown out the sounds of his mother being 'put down' is unclear. But still, it makes my heart melt. This little boy is so smart and loving. He'll be the star of the show I tell you. 😎
