All the while I was watching yesterday's epi, one question kept on popping up in my mind. And I felt like posting it here. Did Ram kidnap anybody else's kid and is he holding her hostage in his mansion? If a Mom's Love is only what a kid needs then, why did God have to create a Dad? Yes, I agree..a Mother's relation with her child is considered supreme to any other relation in this world..but it doesn't take away the fact that, Dad's role is equally important for a child's advent into this world. I'm so disappointed how Ram's family & friends are treating him.
My biggest disappointment today is from KK, a mother who chose to stay away from her kid for 20 odd years only to see him safe...always knew her son was a child at heart and all he needs is True Love, a caring person and somebody who could feel his pain as their own...Atleast this is what I recollect KK advising Priya from Season 1. Being a Mom herself and missing out on those critical growth period of her son, I was hoping she could relate the fact that Time lost can never be made up..how much ever money u own...!! If a Mom is expected to have an instinct to make out what the child is going through, then where is her Motherly Love for Ram? She had come back after 20+ years of solitude only for her son who was all alone..shattered with Priya's accident news..She has been with Ram, through this 5 year guilt and anguish period and yet seems to be cold towards him. If there is anybody else besides Priya, who could've given that much needed solace to Ram at this point in time, it would've been KK. But she seemed to be unfair to Ram today with her lines. Yes, the history seemed to repeat...but is Ram the culprit here? No. His actions are triggered by somebody else's decisions. She could've played a strong Mother and empathize Ram's pain and advise him what is right or wrong..but No.
Next person is Sudhir...the only wise Sharma. Besides being a practical person, he's also an adorable dad and a rock to his dear daughter, Priya. He shares a very special bond with his daughter Priya, more than her own Mom. With Priya's marriage to Ram, he not only got a SIL but also a son..A son who respected him and stood by him in need..a SIL who took over his spoilt brat's responsibility...gave a surname to her unborn baby...bore the drama queen Shipraji only to keep his supposedly dead wife happy...!! A SIL who didn't rest until he cleared the criminal title off his dead wife's name..who had no second thoughts in taking bullet for his Love...is now considered as a rich dad who nurtures his daughter with materialistic things. Still can't get his looks of disgust to Ram at the court. When he expects the best for his own daughter Priya... how is Ram any different for Peehu? Was expecting some words of wisdom from him with regards to Ram's stand. But Nothing.
Natasha & Neha have only taken advantage of Ram's unconditional Love for them. Rajat a best friend of Ram, has failed to see father's love and husband's anguish..even after being a writer himself and preaching the world how beautiful Love is...he failed to understand, this emotion himself. His lines with the ungrateful women abt how badly Priya needs to cry, kept me thinking if he is the parent of peehu?
For all of those, who presume Ram to be the culprit & Priya the victim...let me share my POV. We have nothing of this sort here. Both Ram and Priya are equally the victims..Ram being the mostly affected. For a Man to know that all the pain he's been going thru for the past 5 years is actually due to somebody's decison..where he was not even allowed to make that choice..and having to know abt his own child's existence accidentally..and having to comprehend that he lost the beautiful moments, which he never thought would happen...and having to face the truth that the one person actually couldn't fathom the intensity of his Love...and that one person couldn't trust that his world would stop the day she left him...and made that decision to keep him away indefinitely, God knows until when..has hit him very hard and deep. It's not something that would go away in a day nor would it have a certain time frame for healing. To heal this unseen injury, a heatfelt conversation has to happen..Love needs to be showered abundantly..empathize liberally. If it was the ego of this Man that's speaking...he wouldn't have got the bullet for a wife with whom he is already fighting tooth-n-nail for custody...he wouldn't stand there speechless, to hear to unsolicited bhashans from so-called-best-friends..He wouldn't face those brickbats and disgust looks from his Mom, Nutz, sudhir and entire family...He wouldn't readily call his kid's mom just at a mere request of her need to share the details...wouldn't hesitate in requesting for help from the kids's mom to convince her to eat..wouldn't feel the pain when his own daughter in her rightful house, believes it not to be her home...!! This Man has been going through a lot and has been outrightly ignored by all his family and friends. There is hardly anyone so far who has shared his pain...may be Vikram to some extent. Peehu has been the sole reason for his survival after the heartbreak he had..and as any normal dad, he would want to give her the best which she rightfully deserves. He's fighting with the entire world to keep his baby with him...but at the same time missing his wife badly. He still is confused if he could trust her..while the heart says yes..the head says no. He is battling with the pent up emotions and yet would want to show it only to that one person..
His happiness of bringing home his daughter seemed incomplete becoz somebody special is missing around him...!! I feel very badly for Ram for having to put up with everybody's outbursts and yet stay calm...but at the same time, I'm also glad that it was after all only Priya, who seems to trust Ram to be a good parent and is willing to make amends now. I do empathize with Ram, regardless of how many do support him...and I Also believe Priya Ram Kapoor is here to stay now..Thanks for reading thru this long post..I just had to let it out my system..just like Neha says ;)
