Why is she being so nice to Yash after his pathetic display? She needs to do what she needs to but keep a distance. I said it very early in the show that Yash had 3 years to come to terms with his wife's death but others felt that this was normal. Anyway, Yash's actions were very selfish, did he think about his daughter's happiness? I agree that Aarti's deception was not the best way BUT if it helped Palak, then that is the objective...maybe some closure for the poor girl and she can at least move on with her life and enjoy her birthday like a normal young lady...he also acted horribly in front of others: insulting and humiliating Aarti, Palak in front of her new friends (whom she had to win over, for them to be there ) If Aarti just accepts and be loving towards him for this display, I will be disappointed. I KNOW many would see it differently and that's good, we can agree to disagree BUT if someone puts up a good defence in Yash;s favour, then my opinion can be changed
