Very well written and amazing post!!! I am actually a very active and diehard ARVI fan (Arjun and Purvi...Pavitra Rishta)...and methinks we may need to borrow you for our forum 😉
I loved your post. I agree that Aarti has gained little in this marriage. You know what the truly heartbreaking and beautiful thing about it though? She who has gained so little (for herself) through much personal sacrifice has managed to find so much happiness in that. And Yash, who has gained so much through hardly any personal sacrifice finds himself in deeper and deeper pits of dispair. Main difference between the two of them is Aarti wants to be happy, but Yash doesn't. I get it. He has personal demons. So then he can just be his own unhappy self. Why does she have to foist his unhappiness on others? That's what I don't get. And I'm a little disappointed that Mittals have not yet portrayed him externalizing his anger as wrong. Isn't that something you lead with? The recent interview is an acknowledgement of such behaviour being wrong, but I've yet to see that on screen. Having a few shocked faces in the background hardly counts.

And to be realistic, there are guys who resort to such shoving when they are angry. And Yash has been potrayed as having problems containing his anger during Palak birthday fiasco so his character is kinda consistent...The main thing that should be shown is that this kinda actions is not acceptable and the "victim" should not be shown as willing to accept such a treatment or even try to rationalise why she is at the receiving end of such treatment! I did not like that cause the message to the audience is wrong...but perhaps the creators just want to reflect how society is..there are gals who keep thinking it is their fault when they quarrel with their bf/husband or are treated badly by their bf/husband? I have friends who are like that seriously...
See I agree that Yash has a lot of personal demons. And I concede that anger is expressed like this in a lot of marriages (and other relationships), but like you said, to portray it as just another mundane aspect of marriage is wrong. There needs to be a light at the end of the tunnel. I get that Yash has a history of this.
But that's part of the problem isn't it? Its not like its an isolated incident that you can just brush off. His temper has been carefully written into his character. And he needs to show remorse. And not just the slightly "oh I'm sorry. I'll promise to do better." I want him to truly make an effort.

I don't think Mittals are supporting this kind of behaviour... if they were then we wouldn't have been condemning Yash's behaviour, but we are! we hate what he is doing to Aarti and that's the reaction CV's want from us!! In a marriage if one partner is angry and acting in a foul manner then the other partner has to be calm, otherwise matters can never be solved!! of course yash will realise his mistake and repent!! Have faith in the cv's guys!!
I do have faith in the writers. This is one of the most well-written shows I've seen on television. I just majorly doubt whether any of the subplots (any time soon) are going to involve Yash dealing with his anger. Yash's anger is portrayed as part of his character. Something others around him deal with. Just like they deal with G3's catty gutter talk, Bua's snide comments, and SP's dictatorial ways. And lets face it. He is his parent's son. He is just like them. And just like him he expects his transgressions to be glossed over. His attempts at apology are adorable, I admit, but there's something slightly
glossy about them. Its like he expects, that at the slightlest overture on his part, his every mistake should be glossed over. No no. 😆 As Aarti will show him soon, its not that easy.
I concede that he is not horrible. But like someone else said (sorry, I forgot who), the Mittals can only cash in on GC's popularity to an extent. His character needs to have some redeeming quality other than his muscles, and the occasional football match with Ansh. I just hate that majority of serial watching audience buys into the whole, mean male lead, and a crying female lead, thing. I have a feeling that Mittals hate writing this stuff as much as we hate watching it. But they're afraid to go against the typical mold (maybe because it hasn't worked so well in the past). Props to them though, for writing his meanness into his character, instead of it seeming like he actually is the Hulk.
@aanyakunat:
See I don't expect him to be perfect. In fact in the very first episodes, when his OCD first popped up I was ecstatic. The CV's are continually revealing more and more of him, and its a very real portrayal. I do appreciate the way he has been written. On good days I even love the guy. What I don't like is the way everyone in his house and Aarti responds to his disrespectful behaviour. No one is perfect. I would hate him if he were. But there's a lot of grey area in between what he is now and "perfect".
While I agree that people in his house are afraid of him right now, I don't think that means they are nonsupporting of his behaviour. They enable him don't they? His parents should be the first ones to set him straight, but even they are wary of going near him. The fact that everyone is afraid should be reason for him to engage in a little introspection. Instead he gallops off to Arpita-land, and is quite content to leave his shocked family and children behind. That is what I don't like.
