Here his skills will not help so I am wondering how much Ani is clued into the actual problem?
miniscule expresssion change or head move - cant remember - and that too I feel it may be wishful thinking from my end.
in this story, if one reads Ani’s core traits his way of handling problems has always been a cause for concern. I know many always saw this as a layered thing or a cute thing etc but the writer very clearly intended for this trait to be the defining factor for a future conflagration/conflict.
The best part of the story is this - the slow build up of traits to justify today's happenings; the slow build up of a relationship right under everyones nose; their way of communicating; understanding the other but not acknowldging; jumping in to protect eo; I wish they had taken this kind of writing further to keep the story tight; there were ways to do this; and the writers are not stupid. This flagrant amnesia and the nature of it; makes me worried that the worst has not yet happened.
For me, this story was always about Ani and J being in each other’s situation but in different times bringing the conflict in the love tale to its head. Leena has managed to do that but by choosing the baby twist it has brought the conflict out in a way that Ani is trapped quite badly… the narrative hasn’t clearly supported the theory I am putting out but it is there in a skeletal form. I had an epiphany yesterday when I wrote in @piapriya post that Jhanak moral tangle was moved by the placement of a bigger moral tangle…one that ties into her lived experience. So, in a way, it liberated her from her older inhibitions as she has to fight the battle of her life. I expected Jhanak to understand Ani’s situation and find a way out of it…( sorry it’s a titular character kuch toh karna hi padega)
It explains J's changed behavior to Arshi perfectly. I find one problem in the narrative tho - J was fully on Arshi's side till the jalofy incident. She changed completely towards Arshi when Ani came to Mumbai. That was not justified right. If she changed after she realized her pregnancy or after any of Arshi's taunts to her; it made sense. But J spoke to Ani before Arshi had any chance to insult her...J's change of heart towards Arshi was not justified sequentially
She came close to articulating the problem…Remember the episode when Ani ( white suit) goes to Jhanak’s room in Mumbai to ask her a few things; she mentions thank you toh banta hain kyunki aapne mujhe aapki wife ke torture se bachaya hain ( or something like that) Watch Ani’s expressions.. it’s like she has told the exact truth.
This justifies why I think Ani could be faking. I did not know to pull this out specifically; but its these few nuances that play into the way one reads the narrative
Anyways… coming back to the current issue… Jhanak has near accepted that she gave in for love… I am wondering what is Ani’s expression. I would have liked to see the episode but the updates are the north of what I would expect and I don’t personally think it’s possible to salvage a “redemption” arc for Ani becos I didn’t think tale was about redeeming Ani…( the jealousy angle is a spanner in the works.. I wasn’t seeing this as a major impediment only a minor one but Leena has twisted the knots badly
This is not just jealousy based out of love. It can't be. I said earlier; jealousy can be aggressive; insulting; shaming; but it will still need to keep the person you feel strongly for close to you.
This is brain scrambling angry response; that makes one question his mental stability. His thinking is way out of the spectrum; we all attribute this to the writers; but what if Ani is meant to be this delusional and twisted. The writing for J and others makes some sense. Ani's thinking is so warped, its laughable. No writer can make such far fetched assumptions. So i think Ani is meant to be irrational and completely whacko when his emotions are out of control. Dangerous type of person overall; highly volatile and stupid. All his previous smarts and short term fixes have gone. He is unable to deal with the situation and is self destructing.
His jealousy factor I saw in a nuanced way; he feared that Adi would abandon J one day which is why he even told Guruji please keep her safe and in that party outburst he talked of her laparwahi ( he fears she isn’t careful and will get into trouble) I know this is not rational and certainly we can’t accept partners or even friends getting paranoid about our decisions but I always saw that as a curve for Ani to surmount understanding that he could be wrong about a person too!!
