@Sia: You don't know how happy I was to find this club during the days of the "Yash has gone bilkuun pagal". Out in the forum, there were so many repetitions of the same things, in the same manner continually, but Borna led me hear. They all have helped me to see the light, and because of the current interactions, I can't look at any movie or show without further considering the mindset of the characters. So having the complexity of the last month on Punarvivah was an amazing mind-freak. Even Bones, my favourite US show has never titillated my mental capacities like this, and believe me when I say that Bones and Booth are complicated people😕. What I love about PV, is that although they make changes, it is always with the consistency of the characters and storyline in mind. So while we may consider Yash's hyper-violent behaviour outlandish, we are also forced to confront his emotional and mental issues, as well as the fact that he never attempted to hurt Aarti. It was always self-inflicted injury portrayed. Which I may add, is something that people in major emotional turmoil do. Like Sam mentioned before and I think some others as well, when emotional turmoil becomes overwhelming, people search for either an outlet or an aspect of pain that they can control. That is where the self-harming comes into play. So while Aarti has learnt to either face her pain, suppress horrible memories, or use healthy distractions, Yash has been coddled, and spoon-fed crap which has left him incapable of letting go of his own mangled perceptions. With time, he will mature and leave them behind, but until then, I see many more moments of his arrogance, insecurity, vulnerability, and ego overriding his logical nature.
