Going back to the show, maybe we are going to have some focus on AakShita too, to see a destructive side of romance..
I think that's very possible, Enid. They are clearly meant to foil Yash and Aarti, even in the way they enter into some form of a love story. If Akash and Ishita eventually mellow, the physicality in their relationship may remain, however, but in mellowed form as well because I think this the way they are meant to interact.
Hee Jac, little Macbeth! =P I like the name. And true true, it was mission seduction. But it was so in your face that I couldn't stand that scene ... I really do wonder what Ishita is up to. If she intends to seduce Yash ... *gasps in horror* I would become the gundi with the hockey stick and chase after her!
The first time I saw Ishita instigate Akash while they were still in that hut outside the SM, the first image I got was Lady Macbeth, and I mentioned it in the DC. 😃 She seems mild on the outside but she's very aggressive, perceptive, cunning, and result-oriented. She's going to be a handful this one. Coming to Yash, I do think she idealizes Yash as the consummate husband. From those little glances she stole at him while they were sitting in the mandap, she clearly saw him as the fulfillment of all her dreams and an end to years of rejection. Then, her dreams evaporated when he left her in the middle of the rituals and later explained why he was going to marry her in the first place. She's seen how affectionate and in-love he is with Aarti. Now, she sees their pictures together and hears how romantic he is when he's loopy with alcohol. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some lingering thoughts in her head that Aarti is getting what she hoped to have with Yash. I don't know if she'll make an obvious play for Yash. I'd be aghast if she does. Knowing Ishita, if she does make a play for him it may be so subtle Yash probably wouldn't know what she was trying to do, lol. But I won't be surprised if there are more attempts of what we saw today with Akash where she wants to create her own version of a "Yash"/Ishita marriage with Akash playing the part of "Yash".
Borna! 🤗 You know I had to drop a little gift on my way in. Will definitely look out for your response. I'll stop by your review thread and post my thoughts when I see the episode later today. So we can catch up either there or here.
But am I the only who is of the opinion that had Aarti worn that sari and blouse in front of Yash, he would've wasted no time kissing her senseless or something of that sort (TV-audience-appropriate equivalent, I mean) because seriously, Aarti has been looking extremely beautiful in her regular saris anyway...
A resounding "I agree" on that. You know how Yash is. 😳

Would reply to your post once I get home Borna. If my mentor catches me using my phone, I am dead meat! But your post is very very interesting!
You should post the questions in the MF but I would warn you, there would be some people who won't agree with you at all. Bug that doesn't mean you shouldn't state your POV! =)
Alright! Off I go. <3
IA, MJ. We just have to be patient. Oh, I like your spec. Depending on how the previewed scene ends up tomorrow, I can definitely see Ishita taking advantage, especially with Yash's guilt possibly coming to the fore. Aarti is being so openhearted at the moment, I wonder if she'd get jealous right away if she does happen upon Yash speaking with Ishita. It would be interesting to see how it would go.
I find the Ishita-Akash story interesting too. There's potential between them if they are able to come to terms with the reality of their marriage and each other.
Jac, yeah I did see someone mention at the DC that you came up with that title and I do think that it suits Ishita to the T. She is one vengeful lady and it was less of a danger in the past since she had made it obvious. However, this vengeance is going to be intensified now, since she is privy to what Yash feels and does for Aarti and what's worse is that, she may not openly show it and that would be even more destructive. I don't think she would make her feelings for Yash obvious though (that is if she even decides to go after Yash). She might try to get both Aakash and Yash, though she has her eyes set on Yash? The minute Yash or Aarti catches on this, she would be in for some trouble. But would you really blame her for wanting Yash? =P
On the bold, Anu, that's exactly what makes her potentially dangerous. She takes in information, twists it and uses it very subtly. Yash is so used to be transparent and Aarti, now that she's free from the burden of the divorce lie, is also very transparent. They try to see the best in people and Ishita can easily play on this because she's very good with her own PR -- she presents herself well on the surface, which seems to reflect the surface or superficial way she currently views love and people. It wouldn't surprise me if she plays the brothers against each other again, or she plays Yash against Aarti, or she plays Yash-Aarti against the family. I think the only person who might catch on quick enough would be Bua. But if Yash or Aarti do catch on, then, either she'll change her game plan or things are going to get really bad for her. Can't blame her for wanting Yash. I'm relieved that he's all Aarti's.
Oh, I would love a pregnancy-related scene between Yash and Aarti -- a morning sickness scene, a food craving scene, a neck massage scene, a shopping for the baby scene. Whatever it is, I'll take it.
Some people are loving, like...really loving Akash-Ishita, their personalities, and their scorching "romance" which is interesting to me, to say the least...It's like Ishita is "more interesting" or "better" than Aarti because the former is more of an aggressive/assertive go-getter or something, I don't know exactly what. And Aarti is what, then? Sometimes I get the impression that kindness and generosity are equivalent to being "goody-goody" with all negative connotations attached, and that confuses me. There is a difference between being "meek and mute" and "kind and generous," right?
I've been seeing quite a bit of that too, Borna. It reminds me of the profuse amount of love and sympathy the Ex had when he just returned. Look how that turned out, lol. Just saying. Seriously, though, the quick, excessive response by some can be more off-putting than the characters themselves. We all just need to sit back and let the next couple of weeks play out for the characters first. I do think there is a general gravitation to the "assertive/go-getter" characters because they are perceived as "stronger" or more "interesting." Aarti is the good girl. She can be gundi, but she's still the good girl and, depending on the role of the good girl in the story, some may perceive "good" as "boring". IA that there is a difference between "meek and mute" (which Aarti is not) and "kind and generous" (which Aarti is).
My commentary may be a little off since I have yet to see the episode in English, but from what I did see, I understand why Yash and Aarti appear a bit overzealous, or maybe a little naive, to some. In my view, Akash's attendance at the brothers' drinking party was probably premature, especially since Pankaj isn't ready for it. Yash and Aarti's best bet would have been to start everyone out with family dinner, as awkward as that may be. Get everyone together first and then gauge what could be done next to ease everyone in. This transition with personality types such as Akash and Ishita need more time or need more deliberate planning. I think they know it will be difficult but they're trying to be positive. That's why, more than anything else, I think Yash and Aarti are fearless. Fearless because they're willing to do this for the sake of their family and their own consciences. Like you said, they're the only ones willing to facilitate the changing dynamic of the family. What is making them appear too mahaan or too patronizing is that they're "playing it by heart" (my spin on "playing it by ear"), and, in the process, they're miscalculating because they're venturing into uncharted territory with two people about whom they know very little. But this is all part of their learning curve. When I watch the episode and get a better read of their behavior, I'll be be able to give you a more solid response. 😊
