Let this be a 'Warning' post, for whomsoever it may concern 
What I am about to write here is my hunch, will potentially be unpopular and I would gladly stand to be corrected, if the makers prove me otherwise !
Please do not keep any hopes - any expectations, that Ani will change, realise his mistakes, see a character growth for the better ANYTIME soon. If we hope, it will fall flat and the joke would be on us !
On the contrary, he through his actions will keep Arshi relevant. And stoop lower if we consider that his jealousy game will be on point !
And if you can possibly look at him as toggling between a hero and a vilian, on maker's free-will , it will probably hurt less !
The reasons are simple -
1. No expectations = No heart breaks
2. Makers have strong motivation to keep Ani weak, flippant and non-commital - they will make him pull off stunts worse than what he already has - Ani's conflicting persona is creating the required hype, drama, suspense ,well in short, whateva , that is fetching the TRPs.
3. This is an iTV ML in question, and they unfortunately don't see the light of the day most times!
Ani sudhar gaya, toh yeh show mein kuchh bachega nehi - is what the makers believe - why they believe so, God knows, there are at least 10 meaningful sub-plots that come to mind , but whateva !
I would like to believe, that as a writer, Leena G would have grown up reading Bong literature and her narratives are loosly inspired by them !
There was an era jaha pseudo feminism ki hawa chali thi, most books were women centric, had the woman as the titular character and men supporting/creating chaos in her journey !
For inexplicable reasons, an all supportive boyfriend / husband , who gives his all , to ensure the heroine becomes a District Magistrate, suddenly turns all grey and jealous of her , to the extent that it leads to a divorce ! - bong literature is rigged with many such stories !
Then there are endless stories of unrequitted love, where the men are shown to be selfish, weak personalities who the women are hopelessly in love with and does unreasonable sacrifices for her love time n again - my hunch a month back sprouted from this know-how - the moment I saw how commited Ani was to get Arshi back on her feet n stage, seeing it as a way to unburden his guilt, was the day I predicted yeh J se sacrifice mangega - turns out 2 + 2 is 4 !
It would not surprise me, if we find Ani asking J to sacrifice something precious in the future and J happily doing it for him ! Bbas aise hi hai yeh do characters ! Growth ki umeed toh na hai !
And while yeh pseudo feminism ka daud 1950's, 60's, 70's, 80's ko suit karta hoga , I did not realise it still strikes a chord with audience in 2024 
Compelling story telling would have been, if you strived to go against the flow n tried something new, original n unique - not to be - in a iTV set up where the story should pan out with a target of 1000 epi s - plus easy TRPs kill creativity and make the writers lazy !
In most relationships , one partner is a giver and the other is a taker - the giver and taker role swap depending on the situation they find themselves in ! In this case, one of them will be the taker and the other the giver - most times.
Qki jis haq se Ani aake J se kuchh bhi maangta hai , be it come with me on a bday date, cook Mudur Pulao for me or sacrifice the trophy for Arshi - aise haq have not seen him jatao with Arshi ever !
Similarly for J, she will willingly give her life for him, with not so much of an ouch , haste haste, with out a flicker of thought on Sirji ne mere sath kya anyay kiya hai - it's not to chukao any ehsaan, it's coz she is hopelessly, selflessly and unconditionally in love with Ani - and she will never be able to 'unlove' her Sirji, no matter the atrociites Ani gifts her with ! - And this will not sit well with us, will be difficult to digest and might leave a bad taste in our mouth but you might want to excuse them with aise hi hai yeh - else Hajmola could help too
I hope AK remains a well wisher and does not fall in love with J, J will not be able to reciprocate or do justice to his feelings !
Gila bhi tumse aur shikwa bhi
Narazgi bhi tumse aur ummeede bhi
Logo ke bheed mein ulaj jaye kitna bhi
Bane hai yeh ek dusre ke liye hi !
Every relationship is a confluence of two imperfect beings, coming together and staying together, and leading a bordeline perfect life
