Okay I'll bite... I hope you're right. I'm really glad that everything is making it's way out. Both Aarti and Yash will have to start at ground 0 with this relationship now. Yash is to blame for not showing an interest in who Aarti was before the marriage. It was easier to see why he wasn't interested when they first got married because he was all about himself and his loss, he was wallowing in grief and had no real reason to stop. But as they became friends just talking would have been nice. Seeing if they had similar experiences, likes, dislikes ( and some of this they did discover thru observation but not conversation).
Aarti is to blame for not doing what she knows and knew was right (just telling Yash the truth). Some of her not wanting to do so is understandable but her ability to be talked into inaction is astounding. When does the guilt of doing the wrong thing out weigh the burden of telling the truth? That she has agreed to do everything the Dubeys asked of her without question is a little puzzling to me. I know she thinks she owes them but what about what they owe as parents. A friend or parent would never ask someone they truly love to do something wrong but would support them in doing the right thing no matter how unpopular.
If Yash blames himself for what is happening at least the 2 of them will be starting with a disadvantage of insecurity and they will have to build their relationship from a place of openness and honesty and they will have to do so with both eyes open. They'll actually have the opportunity to see who they are in love with...and that's a pretty strong foundation.
But that's just what I think.
