Tera kya hoga Ayaan? (Ayaan, what will you become?)
The Rathores as a bunch are broken, angry, and dysfunctional individuals! (Carefully look at the bold letters - what do they read?)
Broken - because they come from a broken home. Anuja walked out on her kids and never made an attempt to get in touch with them. Perhaps, as she claimed her children did mean the world to her. But she never found the time to connect with Anshuman and Lavanya, and successfully managed to loose Deepak (?) her third child too!! Her behavior is mystifying until you look at her utter selfishness and complete disregard for Ayaan's happiness in order to achieve her goal (of freeing Aryaman). You then realize that she suffers from extreme narcissism and has successfully passed on this trait to both Anshuman and Lavanya. Her anger towards Pakhi and Veer were unbelievable - she even went to the extent of shooting Veer!
Anshuman - walked out on Pakhi and married another woman. After the woman he married died - he latched on to Tanya and continued to shun Pakhi. In fact, he even wanted to pack away his son Ayaan to boarding school so that he and Tanya would not have to deal with him. Can there be anyone more narcissistic?
Anshuman invariably was stressed and angry with Pakhi for entering his life and forcing her love and attention on him. He was also short tempered with Ayaan. In fact, it appeared to me he was angry and frustrated with life in general. He always spoke about how he was a hard working achiever and was angry at any one else who appeared to have an easier life than him!
Now coming to Lavanya. Can anyone be more muddled and dysfunctional than her? It is a wonder that Girish puts up with her. Her kids never see her and she is forever causing others unhappiness!! I suspect Lavanya has never experienced or heard of harmony!
Now coming to Ayaan
I dread to think of the mental turmoil this child is living through - with a biological dad, aunt and grandma like Anshuman, Lavanya, and Anuja!!
To make matters worse - Pakhi is living in la la land with a fantasized Anshuman. I admit she is in her first stages of grief - denial. Soon she will probably experience depression. But her self-absorption is going to take a toll on young Ayaan!! I think in many ways it is better to have an absent parent than to have a parent who's present but neglectful --- or worse! Perhaps it would be best if he lived with Veer until Pakhi snapped out of her funk and accepted the reality of every day living! For, when it comes to parenting - it is quality that matters.
I know Rhea will help him and so will Veer - however he is of a vulnerable age. I wonder what will become of him.
