Okay, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
Reading the LUs and everyone's knee-jerk reactions first and then
watching the episode is always a good idea because you go with such low
expectations of what you will see that you are bound to catch a thing or
two you didn't expect! 😆
Like
everyone, I loved the first scene. It was so characteristically
beautiful with that trademark combination of humour and romance that
AarYa have patented and made their own. We continue the scene from the
stair-face off of the previous episode where Ishita and Aarti are both
staking their respective claims on Yash and his time. This was very
symbolic. Ishita starts off at the top of the stairs, near Yash: she has
the upper hand because she has just used her last trump card to get
Yash's attention, Aayu, and has managed to make him promise that he
won't tell Aarti about it. However, what follows is that she descends
the steps as Aarti ascends them, showing her actions after getting
Yash's attention. She brings herself down and despite the fact that she
has lower ground, smiles up smugly at Aarti. Aarti, on the other hand,
doesn't even realise she has the upper ground and the advantage on
Ishita by being at the top of the stairs until she hears Yash's voice
calling out to her. In short, she doesn't need to engage or compete with
Ishita because there is no competition. She is the one Yash calls out
to when he is vulnerable.
How adorable was Yash, stuck in his
shirt, flailing his trapped arms around? Is it any wonder that his
impatience trapped him while Aarti's patience set him free? I loved this
scene for many reasons. First of all, it reminded me of the naada scene
which was the first time Yash really allowed himself to be vulnerable
in front of Aarti and consciously allowed her to help him, the first
time he let her see him as anything less than a superman. Today we see
that it is second nature for him to call out to her when he is stuck in
such a situation because of the level their love has reached: it is
unconditional and does not depend on outer experiences. There is no
weakness or faultline in Yash that Aarti does not know of and so he has
nothing to hide from her anymore.
Secondly, I loved this scene
because it shows how Aarti will get Yash out of the trap in which he
fell because of his own impatience with her patient hand. She has
learned from her past experience with Ishita not to point fingers until
she has conclusive proof and yet this is also part of the reason they
are in this mess. Yash assumes that she is upset only over Aayu which is
why he refrains from telling her about his mission, so as to not upset
her if nothing comes of it. Had Aarti shared her suspicions on Ishita
and what she knew about Ishita's history with Yash and her feelings,
Yash might just have been a little more weary. But how could she trust
that Yash wouldn't push her away for lying after how he treated her at
the time of the kidnapping? Ishita may have been the instigator, but
these two have allowed their problems and pasts to come in the way of
their relationship and safety all by themselves! Thankfully, Aarti
learned to be patient this time and she will extricate Yash from the
trap. When she feels insecure and tries to withdraw, he will assure her
of his love and need and put a smile back on her face. Balance will be
restored.
The third reason I loved this scene was the contrast
between Yash with Aarti and Yash with Ishita. On the one hand, he calls
out to Aarti when he is most vulnerable and on the other hand, even when
Ishita forces him into a state of complete vulnerability he pushes her
away. This is what Ishita has failed to understand all this time. It is
not enough to make Yash vulnerable and attack, because when he is most
vulnerable is also when he is most guarded. We saw that aplenty in his
journey when he would cling to Arpita and put up a wall between him and
Aarti most vociferously when he felt most exposed to the latter. Aarti
has earned the privilege to be in that space with him over a long time
and many, many trials and errors where she has proven that she will
never leave him, stop loving him or think less of him for his
weaknesses. If Yash doesn't want to be near Aarti, that doesn't mean
there is a void ready to fill, but that he is surrounded by a darkness
that nobody can cross over.
Yash can really be such a baby
sometimes and today's episode was all about that. He is mature and
sorted out in so many ways, but can also be willfully clueless and
oblivious about certain things, especially ones that make him
uncomfortable. Even though all the signs were pain in front of his eyes,
he refused to believe that Aarti was in love with him and acted like it
was this big surprise when he realised. He again put a blindfold over
his eyes when Aarti was pregnant and finding it difficult to tell him
and once again, he is trying really hard to ignore what he doesn't want
to see, that is, Ishita's interest in him and her advances. It is this
quality that makes everyone so protective of Yash and today reminded me
so much of that scene when Palak shoves Ishita away from Yash and tells
her her food is yucky. The same way Ansh feels like protecting Aarti,
Palak protects Yash from the drawbacks in himself, realities that she
has grown up with and that have affected her on a day to day basis. And
that is precisely why Palak, once the barrier broke, is so invested in
Aarti; she can see that Aarti protects Yash from his own greatest
weaknesses so she herself doesn't have to. It is the same reason she
asked if she was brave like mumma.

It will b better if we can comment on every actor's profile at least twice in a day so that all PV actors rankings can go up but make sure we r doing it regularly on GC and KS's profile at least 😳...
