Understanding Aarti Part II

The Power of Dupey's Brainwashing

Many of you are wondering how Aarti could continue to hide the facts from Yash, particularly, in light of his own confession regarding not informing her that it was Dupey who called him over for a meeting. Why does she not trust him enough? Is it not apparent to her that Yash would support her decision to help P and the Dupeys?

Your concern is appropriate but I cannot fault her - for it is the power of Dupey's brainwashing that has taken control of her thought process with respect to P issues. The Dupeys (manipulators) have brainwashed Aarti (victim) to conform to their expectations by creating submission to their beliefs by continuously and repetitively working on her fears and feelings of guilt-n-obligation. Of course, Aarti's self-sacrificing personality trait made their work very easy. The core concept behind brainwashing is "If you can guide them to feel a certain way - a way that benefits you - you'll have a much easier time getting what you want. " And this is exactly what the Dupeys have done they have guided Aarti's thought process into doing what they want. Is she now not thinking of helping them financially as well? Unfortunately this is working to Aarti's detriment and is a cause of great concern to the viewers. Believe me - similar situations happen in real life too. There are many individuals with deep emotional scars. Aarti is no exception. My heart bleeds for I have seen such victims - believe me their despair is profound! However, first - Aarti needs to be unshackled and awakened!

We all know the truth cannot and will not be concealed and will be revealed soon - and Aarti will be facing the fall out. What then? Will Yash understand that she was emotionally blackmailed? Will he even fathom that she is a victim? Will Aarti get the help she needs? Will Yash get an understanding of Dupeys scheme that sucked Aarti into this black hole? What about AarYa's unborn kid? How will she explain Prashant to Ansh - will he not be hurt too?

Today neither Prashant nor the Dupeys asked Ansh whether he was OK after the procedure. This reinforces my opinion that they view Ansh as an object or means to an end and Aarti as a pawn to be manipulated. A pawn can be protected by a knight and I hope Yash despite his (emotional) hurt and sense of betrayal quickly assumes the role of Aarti's knight in shining armor.

The effect of current brainwashing will wear off. But Aarti will wake up to knowledge that the Dupeys are emotionally blackmailing her - once she feels utterly secure and loved by Yash. Recently, Yash has started enveloping her with his love - but unfortunately Shobha has been eroding all of Yash's efforts. Yash's love has to build her self-esteem and break her from the dyfunctional co-dependency she has built with Shobha then and only then will she awaken and prevent them from taking advantage of her! In other words, just as Aarti had to get Yash out of Arpitaland, Yash has to get Aarti out of Dupeyland.

PS Note Re: Dupey's conversation with Yash.

It was so typical - that the manipulator took the easy way out and fled on receiving Shobha's phone call!!
