I donโt disagree with you completely, and while I looked at the Apulon scenes as a mere way to get the BH drama going to fill up 15 out of 30mins of screen time, I quite liked how straight forward and honest they are showing Apu, when it comes to the one she loves!
Also, we might see an otherwise level headed Boroma and Jethu go complete bonkers at the prospect of their daughter marrying a chawl wala !
Truth be told, this classism exists in every shape n form , in middle n upper middle class households and it would be Herculean for Apuโs parents to overcome this !
Maybe Ani takes a leaf from Apuโs books on how to stand up and fight for his love - however, whilst Apu literally has nothing to lose, she lacks the sensibilities to realise what she could potentially lose if she went ahead with this alliance, Ani is fully aware !
Makes it so much more an easier life to live for Apu, than for her alter ego Ani !
Coming to J, if she did sacrifice upon Aniโs request, it just shows that 1.5months of not remembering him, meant nothing! Her love for Ani is too deep seeded and will remain unwavered, despite what Ani says or does to her ! Abhi bhi Ani hi hai, who can stir her up, this way or that !
Now coming to Ani, of course, after showing how proud n eager he is to see J flourish, what would make him ask for this supreme sacrifice, I know not! But given the creative liberties, the makers have always taken with this character, I had predicted this a month back, when I saw how determined he was to get Arshi back on her feet and into dancing!
And while there isnโt โromantic loveโ for Arshi anywhere in sight, there is taras, guilt, and a desperate way to come clean of all the wrong doings he has meted out to Arshi by gifting her back what she prizes most - her dance !
Could this request trigger the much needed character growth we have waited for, from Ani ! Where while at one side he is happy and relieved that he has some what dispensed his duties towards Arshi, he sees the wrongs he has gifted J in return?!
Would the fact that J left home coz of him, hit home? Would the apparent closeness between Adi and J , make him realise that he has deservedly lost all rights in J?
Or would it still be like Arshi wants him to believe, woh tumhe use karke waqt ane par chhor ke chalo gayi. And abb AK ko use kar rahi hai !As for Arshi, I second what you say, she is a mere passing the parcel, a mere zariya of causing the conflict that makes these two khodo the gadda even further! That said, can the makers keep her off our screens, we could do with understanding that everything RuNak is doing is coz of Arshi ! She really doesnโt need to tread our screens for that !
P.S. - Boy, would J not be proud of what she has done for her Arshi didi? Why is she sad? Kabhi Ani ko, kabhi trophy ko toh kabhi kuchh aur , nichhawar karti rahe Arshi didi par!
Hey nice post Sohini and thank you for responding to my ramblingsโฆI especially liked your observations on the classism aspect; I usually ff those BH parts so I have actually missed seeing this angle, thought those parts were about a parentโs natural worry about the safetyโฆ the BH parts are unbearable.
Bold - While I have no confidence on what I am about to write but I am hoping this is a decision of Jhanak after eavesdropping into a convo between Arshi & Jhanak where as usual Ani is giving an Oscar worthy performance and Jhanak reads his over enthusiasm for Arshi and loses heartโฆthis doesnโt justify what happens but merely keeps the character at somewhat of a status quo.. but I know it wonโt be soโฆ they will put some more nails in that coffin. With Jhanakโs character while this would mean she is exactly where she has been but her outburst gives me some hope that she is also near losing it and one whack from Rudra about ethics of the profession and a betrayal of trust reposed in her. It could lead to some turnaround for the characterโฆ again what that means for Runak no idea
Tbhโฆ I am at the end of my patience with this serial; they are spending so much time on this song and dance routines with no intention to get on with the story The story itself is a thin line; there is one mountain to climb, they are not even at the base camp
