@Jyo and @Sam...
Thanks for the special shout out...and my head is still uncracked.😆 Like @sam rightly pointed out, this episode resulted in bi-polar reactions...and a bit of grey as well. .
Yes, Aarti is in love. We can all grant her that and also her desire to show her happiness. I don't think anyone has issues with it.
But at what point did she feel that she'd be OK revealing her feelings to Yash, despite his outburst one morning, her own assurances to his outburst, and his distinct discomfort at her efforts to draw him in as a husband and not a participant in an activity (like the swing, the arm wrestling). She seems oblivious to his reactions. That's what bothers me the most. She seems to be bulldozing her way, yet again.
This whole progress is somewhat unnatural because there seems to be a deadline associated with it. Even as she gets into the car to leave for Mumbai, there are repeated demands and suggestions to seduce and bed Yash. In fact, G3 even associates a punitive action if it doesn't happen.
Is this why she's in a hurry to reveal her feelings in Mumbai? She's freed off all the family responsibilities, has Yash to herself, so all her thoughts are focused on this. In addition, are the phone calls back home adding to the pressure (not in a negative way) but goading her to reveal her feelings? Is she drunk in love or is she drunk in the praise she has been receiving from her family, her erstwhile antagonists? Does she want to continue her glory run and wants to be successful in the eyes of her family? Does she want the honor of being the one to have converted Yash (who himself has a top dog status) after 4 years? Isn't she ignoring Yash's own complex healing process, by throwing another confounding factor - her own love into the mix?
I think @Aparna said it best in her take ... she's inserting herself in every situation. And she's totally goofy as she stares at Yash, and laughs at his discomfort. What's with you, girl? Especially, the nariyal scene ... there could be no doubt what Aarti was conveying to Yash via her eyes. He became so uncomfortable that he had to turn his back on her. Yet, she smiles her goofy smile. In yesterday's take or discussion, I mentioned that she's almost challenging him...all her continued stares and looks had the "yeh bachchke kahaan jayega" stamp on them. Why is she not taking in account Yash's discomfort?
While many saw Yash trying to hide his love that he felt for Aarti, all I saw was acute discomfort at Aarti's behavior. Yes, he doesn't behave the way he did before, but there are many other reasons for that. He knows that she has got the support of every member of his family (Bua doesn't count). Even Palak has gone over. So, yelling at her, pushing her, walking away etc. ain't gonna work for him or make him popular. He knows that Aarti has everyone's number in his family, including his. I empathize with his discomfort because she's in a way taking what little agency (to borrow @sam's most frequently used phrase) he has in this relationship. I am not sure he'll appreciate Aarti exposing his weakness.
And while many saw the confession as honest and devoid of any pressure on Yash, I'd disagree. Aarti says - I love you, but you don't need to love me. And Yash says - You are my better half, you are making my life better for me, you are taking care of my children and the rest of my family. And now say you love me. And I can't love you back. What kind of a man does that make me? No pressure at all. If this doesn't create additional conflicts in Yash's mind, which is still grappling with his new present and his past, I don't know what will.
Hence, I look forward to his rejection. Because a rejection is what will give him time to sort out his own place in the universe and where he really wants Aarti to be in it. And @sam, I agree. I hope the rejection is not violent and it doesn't have to be. But if it makes an impact on Aarti to wake up and be an aware individual, I am all for it. She needs to introspect. She's been on one ride after another. She has to wake up to what Yash wants and not what his family wants. True love is when you understand and give what the other person needs, not what you think he needs. Here, Aarti has been successful as long as she understands his love and like she said, supports his love for Arpita. But, by being unable to prevent her own love for Yash from interfering in his healing process, she has made her past efforts counterproductive in a way, by increasing Yash's conflicts.
The rejection is also necessary because, Yash needs to come out of his Arpita stupor on his own while Aarti stands by as his support, and not by Aarti pushing Arpita out of the way by throwing in a her competing love. Don't know if that made sense.
