this is mostly a reflection of runak's relationship from anirudh's pov.. focused on ani's feelings. (since jhanak isn't doing it someone has to 😂😅)
anirudh had some attraction to jhanak even when he first met her in the car accident, when he looked back at her.. then getting to know her, he liked her instantly.. she was such a pure and innocent soul.. something which he had never seen in his life before, which his family and arshi - type people. he liked her instantly, she was different than any of the people he had met, in a good way. someone who he'd want to listen to all his life. he thought he was in love with arshi, because that was always comfortable.. and he also thought she was kind, so he may have liked her romantically, but he was surely not in love with her. love is what he feels for jhanak. it's like if he loves jhanak, no matter how much another person needs help, he'd try and find another way but won't marry someone else. he wouldn't put anything above jhanak. jhanak is his 1st priority and nothing can change it. that is love. so with arshi it wasn't love. i do think he liked her romantically tho, but it wasn't that deep, marrying her, it was in his comfort zone, made everyone happy and he was also happy, but he knew that there was emptiness in his life.
jhanak was the only person who was not scared of pointing out his flaws.
like every other person in his life, she did not put on a mask and go around faking her kindness, it came straight from the soul. just like anirudh. now that he met her, she slowly became eveyrthing to him. even if he was marrying her solely for the purpose of helping her and he LOVED arshi, he wouldn't even mildly be affected by it, infact would've thought that everything worked out fine. if he did LOVE arshi, he would just have given jhanak her mom's suicide note, told her why he took her to kolkata and would've gotten it over with happily married arshi. but he didn't do that did he? all because he started feeling like he couldn't live without her, even after 1 day of knowing her.
she was like a drug he had gotten his hands on before anyone else. a drug he couldn't get enough of, and surprisingly, a drug which wouldn't harm him.. but complete him, benefit him. then he met jhanak. the void? gone. she completed him. right the second he first talked to her. surely he took a lot of time to realise it but now he has. that's why, even though he has spent 6 years with arshi, he is ready to break it off that is if he gets acceptance from jhanak. as they say it doesn't depend on the quantity of time in a relationship, but it depends on the quality of the relationship, and the relationship he had found with jhanak, was perhaps, the realest, most genuine thing in his life.
and what pushed him more towards jhanak? arshi revealing that she is infact, not what he thought she was. meaning arshi didn't have the one thing, which made anirudh like her. till some point he tried to hold onto arshi, as his life unraveled, arshi still was inside his comfort zone, if he married her, everyone would be happy. but then, he realised it, he loves jhanak. he loves jhanak and no one else. he hasn't loved anyone before jhanak, and he won't love anyone after. anirudh is the kind of person to believe that you only have one true love in your life. and for him, it was jhanak.
even though what he is doing to arshi is morally wrong, he is still doing it because he wants jhanak to know he isn't actually happy with her, he wants jhanak to be jealous so that he can make her confess she loves him. nothing means more to him than jhanak. he crossed morals a lifetime ago, he would do anything for jhanak, even if it means being disowned, not respecting his relationship with arshi, causing havoc at his house, nothing, as long as jhanak is by his side, he will keep on doing everything for her and her only. no one else.
looks? yeah she's pretty, but jhanak's prettier. according to him, his jhanak is the most beautiful girl in the world.
as they say, you can be closer to a person you met a month ago, compared to the person you've known for a year. this is the case. jhanak and anirudh are made for each other.. arshi doesn't get anirudh the way jhanak does.
