Aarti's Behaviour at the Mandir

I've been reading quite a few posts about Aarti's behavior at the Mandir. I just wanted to put in my two cents. No disrespect meant. Just sharing my view. ⭐️

If someone finds Aarti's actions and words at the Mandir disrespectful and disgusting, then the concept of the show is lost on him/her.

Wasn't Yash standing right below, begging his wife for direction, while Aarti was begging Prashant for the same?
It was not meant as infidelity on her part. If anything, at that point in time, she felt she owed Prashant, not Yash. Both of them were doubting the marriage. Both of them were considering breaking it off, at the slightest sign from their beloveds. Its just that her past love still has a physical manifestation, whereas Yash's does not.

Yes, she could have acted with more tact, but she didn't. Aarti's characterization and her relationship history (and previous interactions with Prashant), made that scene what it was. If she had acted any other way, it wouldn't have been believable.

I lost no respect for her in that scene. I only sympathized with her. Hats off to production for making Aarti's weakness for Prashant (her image of him anyway), believable, despite the backdrop that is her strong, independent, single-mother character.

Nice post!!

^ Exactly. I can't wait until she realizes that Yash wants something else all together. That'll be fun.

Just wrote the below in another post and it applies here too so thought I would copy and paste.

The "Arti and Prashant" scene was brilliant. It showed a completely different side to her character which adds such a wonderful dimension to her personality. She is normally so strong, poised and composed but when it comes to Prashant she is completely another person. Prashant brings out all weaknesses and exploits them.

Meanwhile she has gotten nothing from Yash's side. No warmth, no friendship, no love, no conversation or anything. In fact she is afraid of who he is thanks to her friend Mansi. Yash is stuck in his own world to understand her or give her what she needs at the moment.

Prashant is her first love, he represents all her hopes and dreams. We usually view our first love with rose colour glasses. We don't see the flaws only what we want to see. When things don't go right it is really hard to admit that you made a mistake. Arti has a child with Prashat so it is even harder for her to let go. He called her at a time when she was feeling trapped because of the wedding and everything that goes with it and was at her most vulnerable. She thought he was ready to come back to her and she thought she had another chance to go back to her girlish dreams. It is really hard to let go of those girlish dreams and she was willing to beg and demean herself.

Prashant has shown his true colours and we will see her make a commitment to Yash and the next time Prashant is back we are not going to see that weak Arti but a strong one who will compare the strength of characters of the two men. Yash will always come out on top!

We have to forgive Arti's last desperate attempt to go back to something that no longer exist other than in her mind.

i glad cvs didi the sceans, that means arti can now put parchant at back of her head, and after marriage even if he comes in front of her, she wont have some sever heart attacks. but gota to say she shouldnt have gotten her hopes high when going to meet parchant. kinda stupid of her. and one thing i ddint get was why wasnt she angery?

I think the anger will come later. When she's spent some time in Schindia house, and realized what love between spouses actually looks like. I don't think she completely realizes what a horrible husband Prashant was to her, and maybe even her own shortcomings.

Nice post!!
