Aptly put! Ani feels he is right in what he is doing and deciding best for J because he has seen Jās decisions before - coming back with Tejas, agreeing with Tejas to marry him, romance Aditya albeit all of it was because of him.
Now all I wish is a showdown where they scream out their feelings and frustrations without saying useless things to cover up their feelings. A straight conversation.

Ok just finished watching both the episodes now. Thank you for all the tags.
Read them all few hours back with out watching the epis, so decided to not respond to any of them till I caught up on the epis! Some of what I write here is definitely a repeat so sorry in advance for the repeat telecast !
Here's a piece of my mind(fir se long post ho gaya, brevity is a virtue I clearly don't possess!) - disclaimer, at this point of time, dil e haal kuchh aisa hai, ki I want to look for and cling on to small mercies. I want to convince myself that there is more to it, than meets the eye !
Not taking away anything from the fact that Ani should come clean and be honest to Arshi, his family and most importantly to himself , and he has undoubtedly stretched it too far by taking this to the mandap (Zindegi ke saath juya khelte huye!) this is what I have found him do, in the past 2 epis -
1. He is NOT in his home ground, he is in Kashmir , with out his favourite ppl, with a looming fear of Tejas dangling over their head
2. Purpose 1 of coming to Kashmir - Was to save J from Tejas's clutches
3. Purpose 2 of coming to Kashmir - J should be able to take her exams uninhibited
4.Purpose 3 of coming to Kashmir - Getting two estranged lovers meet and give J the love of her life and the happiness she deserves (which in Ani's eyes is with R). R confessing that he loves J sealed the deal, coz Ani knows that J loves R !
So Purpose1 was somewhat achieved, though the fear still looms and then Lo and BEHOLD we have ENTER THE DRAGONS !
They come, all armed with a Mission to wed Anishi in Kashmir. #MissionKashmirGotSkewed
Ani Babu, the quick fixer, takes stock of things, he has bunked his ashirwad,lied to the evil gang, to save J, and is now cornered with "Patt Vivaah" !
If he disagrees, apart from the zillat , both him and J will face the question of WHY NOT? WHY DO YOU NOT WANT TO MARRY ARSHI?
Plus his hopes that J takes her exams will be snubbed ! So what's the temporary escape route? "Mujhe koi problem q hogi?" I AM READY TO GET MARRIED !
This decision is driven by guilt, it is driven by an age old commitment , pran jaye par vachan na jaye kinda, it is driven by an urge to do what is right and fair and it is driven by a sense of responsibility - actually the holy trinity - zimmedari that makes him majboor coz insaaniyat hai !
Blame it on his nature, but shayad he feels a sense of responsibility towards Arshi, which is stopping him from calling it quits ! It's nothing compared to the responsibility he feels towards J, but some shreds perhaps!
Had he been like J's father, he could have easily given a walk -over ! This is pretty detrimental to him and causing a lot of mess. Isse gayer zimmedar bana do koi, itna over zimmedari se kisi ka bhala na ho pa raha hai !
Sabse zaroori baat, with all his flaws,weaknesses and lies, the fact still remains that he has an innate goodness that is very similar to J's. [Ab tak forum walo ne do chaar jute toh aim kar hi rahe honge, I need to either learn to duck or get my ducks in a row]
AND HE HAS RESIGNED TO FATE, RESIGNED TO THE FACT THAT J DOESN'T LOVE HIM, WOH KISI AUR KI HAI.
As much as he hates it, he knows everything he has done for J, in J's eyes is out of ehsaan!
And because he resigned to FATE , what did FATE have in store for him? Cupid No.1 Superman Pandit ji !
In this game of EVIL Vs GOOD , good will always win and prevail ! Pandit ji WHIPS them ALL with a few reality checks ! Yeh asli shaadi wala tamacha zaruri tha for both RuNak stakeholders - specially J !
ATM, both Ani and J have way too many baggages to be able to build RuNak, they will try all means to break RuNak instead, intentionally or otherwise, but like Panditji said, RuNak is pre-destined , so fate will play it's part and not let them break it !
But Dilli abhi dur hai - Abhi sirf pyar hai, pyar ko mukammal karne ki chah, shiddat aur pagalpan nehi hai - this is going to be their journey now, to reach to that pagalpan from "we want to live with eo" to "we cannot live without eo" !
A few scenes that are worth mentioning -
1. Ani dissuading J from attending his wedding instead padai karo jake - he cannot bear to get married in front of J and doesnot want her anywhere near the mandap. Unsure of what the impact of it might be on her, and with her exams knocking at the door, he wants to keep her at bay !
2. The GARLAND Exchange - This was a steal ! You were very right Maya, I re-watched this scene a few times ! There was some thing ajeebsa heart-breaking about this scene, bbas mann kharab kar dene wala ! Apart from Hiba and Krushal, they were both exceptional , Anirudh's looking around the room, meeting the smiling faces of each of his family members, then looking at Arshi's smiling face and then at J ! Kabhi parivaar ke khushi ke liye mann marke kuchh kiya hai? Have you ever been CORNERED by every single person in your life that matter to you? And if you did, did you find a way to escape or did you give in?!
I cried for them both, the utter helplessness of the situation they find themselves in. I felt the lyrics come alive - "Lekegaya mere rang saare Sang mein tu apne piya". That scene gave me goosbumps!
Ani has given all that it takes, to drag himself to the podium ! How big a heart do you have to have, to choose others happiness over your own?! To try and forcefully do what is "right" in the eyes of others? These 2 are cheating not just eo, they are cheating themselves the most - apne ap ke sath bilkul immandar nehi hai !
Ani finds himself as the epicentre of an earth quake, the centre of a cyclone with J, Arshi, the Evil clan and the Viewers glaring down at him, bada akela sa hai bechara , aur ek right karne ke chakkar mein bare sare wrong kiye ja raha hai !
3. Ani pacifying Arshi with hum Kolkata jake hi shaadi karenge - it is a consolation to a girl who feels gutted by the proceedings of the evening ! No matter how much Ani may be out of love , Ani is just not evil enough to rejoice at the bad luck that befell Arshi. If he was, he would be no different to the evil clan - this is also in support of my arguement that he much rather comes clean than tamper his own wedding by setting up the Panditji !
4. I would have liked to see J break a little more, sometimes losing the person who matters the most, can do wonders towards realising what you are actually letting go of ! Ani's relief that for a change, neither J nor he can be blamed, qki he had sat for the wedding, keeping everyone's wishes ahead of his, but the Panditji did not let it happen! Big battle for a small win for J's sake and his !
5.Lastly, we see Mr.Practical Bose, closing shut a balance sheet, with before I marry, I want to pass you onto able hands, who will keep you safe and help you fly ! Accountant ji ne hisaab milaya hai, this will give you happiness, set you free and set me free from your zimmedari - you wish knucklehead !
P.S. Since I am Goldie Behl, tags are limited , jinhe nehi mili khush ho lo padhai nehi karni padegi, jinne mili - apke patience ko mera salaam
