Rekha, always like to read your thoughts. It was based on general feeling in the forum, and me trying to explain my thoughts.
Also me questioning Runak now and sharing my thoughts on Adi's role does not mean I have moved on from Runak? I have always maintained that Runak will be end game, because warts and all they both love eo, and for ITV audience love prevails over insults, inconsideration, disrespect and mental torture because of their great love for each other. I won't even attempt to debate this because I am also an viewer who has been hooked on to Runak by Leena for the past 200 episodes, so moving to another pairing will take more episodes of cementing the relationship, which currently Adi J do not have and will likely not happen, bcos clearly this is a story of destiny not love and consistency.
Some of us like Adi and his role but that does not mean we have moved on from Runak. It means we are enjoying the checks and balance, jealousy, anger he is bringing to Ani, because it has been long overdue. I never said people should like the Adi J pairing and move on. Adi is bringing a flavor of Runak that is also entertaining. I am enjoying Ani experiencing what he has been doling out to J since the start of the show, and can I add without an ounce of regret and with full understanding of what it is likely doing to Jhanak. Hurt J because he is hurting; and hurting because of his own actions.
As we discussed, it's Leena's prerogative, she set expectations she chooses not to deliver on for the moment, and she knows the expectations she set will keep the viewers through all these tracks, that why she set a strong foundation for Runak. She brought Adi in to highlight where Ani went wrong. If the story was Ani came to Mumbai saw J after months of moving on with Arshi and giving up on her... they met they confessed came together and went to BH to romance get married and live happily ever after with other domestic tracks, where is the reckoning??? and you said you would disappear at that point as well
We all have our perspectives and sharing in a forum is a fun way to ask and debate, share our POV, and not to be taken as one POV being superior to another. If we did try to establish superiority - it will be is love more or respect more in a relationship and each of us know what works for us...no right or wrong here. J I know will pick love, based on her characterization, thats why Runak is end game 100%. If she does not, Leena would have gone a very non-typical ITV way. ITV is about love and more than love - 'sindoor'
I came back to edit this post to add - even if Ani shi get their marriage court registered, i can bet the story will say Sindoor is over law, almost to the theory that once sindoor was applied no marriage can be annulled, end in divorce etc. This is a reflection of audience thinking. Thats why Arshi never got her Sindoor from Ani and J got it twice in reality and once in a dream. Ani can sleep with Arshi, travel with her, trust and priortize Arshi, but until he puts sindoor on Arshi to cancel out J's sindoor, its still j who is his wife in 'hidden reality' lol

The line in bold -,I could also say to push Ani further and further in a rabbit hole to prop up a newly minted suitor is also a writerโs experiment. Aniโs layered qualities were being appreciated when the light was shone on that journey and usually such characters receive their developmental arc in most stories. If thatโs not intended here.. it wouldnโt be fair to accuse the viewers for having expectations.
A story is solely a writerโs prerogative. Irrespective of how the audience receives it. If this story intends to posit Adi as a partner for Jhanakโs, it willโฆ Adi has been correctly described by you up until this point. If Jhanak can indeed see him in this light in future ( the narrative hasnโt indicated that until now even though it has laid these aspects out in the open) whoโs to say what would be her decision. At the same time, let me also say one thing, despite everything you have written the writer is not overtly making the moves to show Jhanak registering this in any way other than as a person whom she acted with briefly and is now extending support to her in her journey. The narrative would need to convince Jhanak before it convinces us so letโs see where it goes with what you have observed. However I will say like that just because Adi ( a character) is posited with seemingly more glowing qualities as compared to Ani ( another character) it doesnโt mean Jhanak ( the titular character) will choose Adi over Ani. She very well could in future but it shouldnโt surprise people she may not. The writer often places these aspects in a story to say how uniquely complex the emotion of love is. It is often observed in life too that some seemingly mismatched couples come together and make a life of it while even very well matched ones donโt succeed. If your post was about the toxicity in choicesโฆ well let me say that if rationality alone had a role to play in choosing love phir baat hi kya thi.
Most viewers have been invested in the journey of Ani and Jhanakโ to see if their love will fructify. Even those that are really unhappy with Ani now will also admit a lot many of them were initially interested in the premise of the developing love story between the two. Itโs also true, a lot many got invested in that journey. Today most, if not all, are upset at the turn this story has taken; their reasons are many.
To illustrate a few of those reasons, some are unhappy that the characters are not shaping up well, for some one character is made to bear the brunt of the inconsistencies, some are upset that they did not read the writing on the wall in respect of how this story will progress etc.
A large part of the above audience that is engaged in a such a way continues maybe unhappily even to see if the character/s will show a redemption/ development curve; another part may have given up on one of the characters are now consuming to now see the journey of one character alone; there may still be others who have given up on the love story and stopped it & Surely the ones who have given up on both may have even stopped watching the show.
There may be sub sets I may not have covered in this but perhaps there is one section who feel they never connected with Aniโs character at different stages of the developing story and felt repulsed or uncomfortable with certain actions and felt that Ani may not be right partner but maybe watching to see if Jhanak moves on.
However in the different scenarios I have mentioned above, do you feel that one group can claim that there is a claim of superiority in how the choices are made. Comparisons between Ani and Adi can be made only in a limited way. For us to make a study of characterisation, we will need to see how the story develops and we could compare notes.
