He lost someone he loved dearly so it isn't going to be an easy ride for him to accept love once again. Most of us are assuming that he has fallen for Aarti, and I do agree. I don't think he wants to accept her for this very reason. He knows that his heart has made a place for Aarti and this is what's tarnishing his personality because he feels that he cannot be loyal to Arpita. This is just the foundation of everything though, there's a lot more to be built upon it. Something happened the night before/day of their arrival in Bhopal. This is still a mystery to us, but what I feel is that Yash thinks Aarti tried to manipulate him into loving her and it actually worked, which has caused him to go not only against Aarti but against himself as well.
We can see from the scene where he hurts his hand today that he blames himself as much as he blames Aarti, if not more. He is furious with himself and can't bear to see Aarti's face because he knows he loves her already. He wants her to stay away from him so he can get over his feelings for Aarti quickly.
This nature is completely realistic, it happens in everyday life and it's even occurred to people who I'm close to. When one loses someone they love, they will not easily love another. They will fight with their feelings and even fight with the person who causes their internal struggle in an attempt to distance themselves and to even convince themselves that they have no feelings for this new person; in other words, they will be in denial.
Yes, there were a few pushes and a lot of you may consider it domestic abuse, but I don't. Throw tomatoes at me if you will but for me personally, domestic abuse is when one slaps, punches, hurts the other person in more painful ways with the intentions of hurting them physically. We all know that Yash never intended to hurt Aarti physically, he just wanted distance so he could get over her before it was too late. Little does he know that it's already too late.
I've never seen a show like this before on Indian Television, and I must say that I'm extremely pleased to be watching this. Usually in TV we hear things like "I can die but I can never hurt you meri jaan, I would never hit you" and sappy things like that, when in reality it's nothing at all like that. A lot of children (in fact, I'm ready to say most children) are raised where their mother/father hit them (slap, spank). This doesn't mean that their parent's wouldn't give their life for them or that their parents don't love them. This simply means that their parents want them to learn and want to teach them discipline. I'm not saying that Yash wants to teach Aarti discipline (š), but what I'm trying to get at is there are different reasons why someone might raise their hand on someone, but it doesn't mean there is no love in the relationship.
Generally calm people like Yash who have struggled with their internal demon for so long have contained a lot of pent up anger within themselves, that when they get a chance to let it out, they let it out hard.
So I would just like to say that I applaud the CVs for showing us this side of Yash, because it just illustrates exactly how much depth his character has along with emphasizing the fact that he is a character with multiple dimensions. I'm happy Yash isn't a one dimensional character like the leads in some of the other shows. I'm glad that Yash is realistic unlike unrealistic shows with unrealistic characters.
Yash is shown to be doing everything with a passion, whether it be his duty as a father, his loyalty to Arpita, or his anger to Aarti, it all encompasses passion, so when he will come to accept Aarti's love, he will do so with such fervent passion that our breaths will be taken away. š I'm sure of it! So keep holding on, because the CVs never drag a track for too long, and so far the CVs have kept me on the edge of my seat and have done nothing but surprise me. I have faith in them, and I will continue to do so. š³
