Hope its ok with you Sammy😃:
Aarti needs support and constant attention when she is down and she is trying to get that from Yash now and being a bit too pushy for him; she doesn't understand why he can't give it to her when he has done so in the past. Yash, on the other hand, is angry with Aarti and boy does he get snappy and sarcastic when he is! And Aarti just can't give him a break because she needs him to be the Yash she has come to take for granted, the one whose whole world revolves around her. For the first time since they became a couple in earnest, with both of them falling in love, something is facing Yash that his love for Aarti cannot overlook for the time being and Aarti is finding that very hard to deal with.
I do understand where she is coming from; it is that dire need for his support at this moment and the pain of seeing him suffer but what she is not understanding is that Yash too is working towards the same end. He needs some time away from her to collect himself so that he can be the support she needs. I felt in his last gesture of banging the wall that he is angry with himself for feeling this way about Aarti whom he loves so much, but it is an emotion that he can't seem to mash down at this moment. Her constantly being all in his face is only hindering his attempts to collect himself and so he is getting more and more frustrated with her and with the situation.
For me Aarti was fine until she crossed the line by putting the condition in front of Yash: I will leave if you eat. It reminded me of all the things that bothered me about Aarti during the Mumbai track. She still thinks of Yash as a child, thinks that it is her "responsibility" to keep him happy and smiling; I can see why that would irritate Yash to no end in such a situation. Like I have said many times, he lets Aarti take the lead because he knows she likes it, not because he couldn't do it himself. Also, Aarti cured him of his age-old grief, not by her plans and projects but by being herself. Like I said at the time, she is the medicine, not the doctor! This was aptly demonstrated today when she found Aayu's locket and just cried to herself. At that moment she didn't really care about Yash, nor was she seeking him out and her raw pain and emotion drew him towards her. This is how it has always been and always will be.
The fact that she expressed her concern to Radha about the "old Yash" coming back made me really wonder about how she perceives his transformation. His personality didn't change when he came out of his grief; he just learned to embrace life, love, hope and happiness again. But now he is faced with a situation in which he is afraid even to hope. She does realise that the potential loss of Aayu is as monumental as the loss of Arpita, right? Of course Yash is going to go back to the way he was when he hears of such a loss! Didn't she revert to her impulsive, have-to-do-everything-solo self when she heard Yash was in danger? Isn't that half the reason he is so mad at her in the first place?
In short both Yash and Aarti thought they had wrought great changes in the other and are distressed and enraged to find that their partner's nature persists! Yash will react this way when he is grieving and feels helpless to control the situation and protect his family and Aarti will always act without much thought when she thinks her family is in danger, even if it puts her and them at great risk. These are issues they have to deal with all their lives and I am so thankful to the Mittals for showing us the post-Honeymoon phase of this fascinating relationship! And of course, I have always loved the way they show a father's love as being just as deep as a mother's. I fell in love with Yash the nurturing father and these scenes entrench that love even more.
I do realise this take was rather Yash-centric and that is not because I don't sympathise with Aarti or see her POV, but I thought she would get enough support around here and wanted to give a different perspective, since I saw Yash's side clearly as well.
