It was very strange seeing the recent episodes of the serial. On the one hand, there is a lot of debate ongoing about the rights of women and there are frequent discussions in the media about the rights of mother vis-a-vis the rights of the father, and then you have such strange things being shown in the serial. For some time now, after Prashant was shown as having recovered from his illness, he became warped, determined to get his wife and child back, not accounting for the fact that he was the one who had left them some time back. So, he ties up with a taiji (who is old fashioned, does not believe that there is such a thing such as a divorce, and who cannot understand why Prashant cannot just go and take Aarti, and how Aarti can be with anyone else once she has got married to Prashant, who is after all the owner of Aarti).
So, it takes some time for these series of episodes to end, with finally the Taiji and Prashant marching into Yash's house and demanding that Aarti come back. They are dispatched and sent back, but one outcome of this is that it is now revealed that Aarti is a divorcee and not a widower, which is a violation since Yash's family were told that she was a widower. There is a lot of anger, and they try to pick Aarti out of the house, but Yash comes in and takes her, although they are now separated from Yash's parents.
So, now Yash's parents are very angry about this state of affairs, and his father wants to get Aarti out of his life, and so is willing to do whatever it takes. Prashant once comes to meet Ansh in his school, and tries to fill his mind with a lot of stuff about Aarti and Yash, but this leads to a confrontation with Aarti (who slaps Prashant) and then with Yash, who knocks Prashant to the ground. Prashant is very angry and wants revenge, and decides to a file a custody case for Ansh, supported financially by Yash's father.
In the court case, the judge decides to act very strangely, since he treats this as a custody case between Yash and Prashant, one the step-father, the other the biological father instead of taking the normal case of the mother of a young child getting the priority. Finally, since he is not able to decide, there is a wacky scheme whereby both Yash and Prashant are to dress up in animal outfits and Ansh has to decide (totally weird). Finally, after some more drama, Ansh's custody is given to Yash and Prashant swears to continue to make their life miserable.
