Priya - what is she thinking?

Hey guys... I have been a silent member on this forum from the first day itself. But not much of a poster. Lekin recently the forum rank has fallen terribly and I have been thinking of making new topics to make this place more active.

Back to topic...

Can the makers give us a clear indication of what is Priya's thought process?

Like we clearly know where ram stands. He believes in this marriage. Does not want to break it. Is angry and hurt by priya. Lekin bas sorry ka intezaar hai. Ek baar sunke hi pighal jayega.

But what are Priya's views? The only time we spent with Priya after the shivina marriage was when she went to the Sood's house for that arrest. Usme the only monologue we got was she thinks ram didn't believe her enough to tell her the real truth. But what is she thinking about the marriage? Does she really belive ram wants to break it off? What gave her that indication? Does she not remember ram telling her in the bathroom that woh papers usne nahi banwaye? Even after this shaadi fiasco, does she not realise that if ram is telling her something, she should believe it.

And most importantly, where is the sorry? She accepts that ram is gussa. She keeps saying inko pehle kabhi itne gusse mei nahi dekha. Toh why can she not say sorry to him? Doesn't he deserve an apology? Whatever might have been the intention, you faked a medical emergency and then helped his sister elope. Any normal guy would and should get angry. Priya can talk to him about annulment papers, but she cannot say a simple sorry to him?? Something the guy absolutely deserves to hear!

Both ram and priya keep having a running commentary in their minds. But no one is ready to speak to the another. It is now full 24 hours since the marriage. They spent the entire night in the same room together. But they could not find the time to talk to each other??

And now the samajhdaar and suljhi hui priya has gone ahead and signed on the papers. Without having a proper conversation first😡 what are the makers trying ti di with her character??

I think the problem here is Priya’s trust issues. Though Priya keeps saying trust will be the base of their relationship, she has somehow not been able to fully trust him the way he has been able to.

Firstly he left the venue, then he came back, Priya thought he cane back for his sister. Even the sangeeth surprise she assumed he did all for his sister.

Finally when she started slowly developing the bond with him, the whole annulment drama came up. And to Priya everyone shows like alll decisions are taken by Ram. So she isn’t able to find a reason to convince herself that Ram didn’t prepare the annulment papers.

Finally I think saying sorry is not her issue, to Priya the marriage is already broken, so her belief is that whatever she says Mr. Kapoor may not trust her. And still it’s not clear to her that Ram doesn’t want the annulment. So in her point of view sorry is relieving Ram from this relation.

Conclusion: Ram understands Priya. Priya has totally got him wrong in a lot of things. All thanks to yeh stupid men she has in her life!!!! She has slight inferiority complex I feel. Every time she keeps saying why would Ram do anything for her... n slowly Ram will get this inferiority complex out of her. And I guess all of us are waiting for those scenes !

Also in season 1 Ram goes against all n defends Priya saying he trusts her when all villains plot against her n try to defame her. Something similar may happen in the Karwachouth drama as well. Seeing what vedu Nandu n Neeraj are doing, they will trap Priya, but Ram won’t believe them. Maybe then Priya will finally gain a stronger trust on him n it may kick off their love story finally... hoping something like this happens

Oh yes, Priya definitely has some very big issues - all thanks to Mr. Sood. First is she doesn't believe in love or marriage. So she has completely convinced herself that their marriage is naam ka only, and not a real one. This was further influenced by the prenup track and ram leaving mandap. Secondly, she also somewhere has an inferiority complex about being poor, or rather not as rich as the kapoors. Her constant complain is - aap mard hai /ameer hai toh kuch bhi karenge.

Because of these two factors, she has never tried to understand or build a trust with Ram. I will not say she cannot or she has failed to. Reality is, she has never tried to.

Ram, on the other hand, trusts priya. And he believes in the marriage as a forever thing, so he also expects certain things back. Case in point being, the pehli rasoi and karwachauth. And he is angry because his trust was broken.

Also I don't agree with you that priya has not said sorry because she feels ram will not trust her apology. One doesn't apologise so that the apology is accepted. One apologises because they did wrong. Here priya was wrong. Her saying sorry should not depend on whether ram will belive her or not.

I am sure Nandini and Vedika plan is going to backfire big time. Ram is never going to mistrust Priya regarding Neeraj matter. Gusse mei he will tear the annulment papers😆

Agree with all your points specially regarding the apology. Yes Ram definitely deserve an apology from her. In fact she should have talked properly to him. Whatever maybe the circumstances, her helping Shivina run away and getting her married in secret was wrong in every way. Frankly Priya didn't even give Ram some time to come and tell her the truth. Like not even 2 days had passed since he had announced cancellation of wedding She could have waited a bit or coaxed him into telling the truth. The guy who was so happy about Shivi-Akki marriage and even got married himself for their sake wouldn't cancel the wedding overnight for no reason.

And now after all this she didn't even talk to him properly. And directly spoke about annullment papers. Its like telling him I don't care what you think, I am just leaving Whether he believes her or not it was her duty to go and explain her perspective and say atleast a simple sorry to him. Thats the least she can do.

Moreover I think makers messed up a lot in this track. Priya's character was never like this. I mean she would never support eloping but all of a sudden she planned all this ( don't get me started about how badly this soppy plan was executed)

There are so many characters and so many dialogues given to them that they forget to add depth to characters. You don't know their motives, why they are doing what? Bass everyone is turned into saint/villian as per the requirement of sequence. I still don't know what Ram's friends think of Priya or why Nandini is doing what she is doing

They should seriously focus properly on Ram-Priya. We don't even get proper scenes of them, they are just always entangled in this mess of misunderstandings.

And regarding her behaviour in this track, I think she does have an inferiority complex and above everything is very scared of rejection. She just cannot believe or accept that someone can actually like her or fall for her. She just doesn't accept that she might be important for Ram. Today she herself was thinking she isn't important enough for him to taunt her and when he does she just walks away. Even when he says He didn't have the papers made, she doesn't believe him. I mean why would he lie?? and now she just signed them😵 I feel like she is too scared to directly hear from him that he doesn't want her in his life. So she doesn't let him speak only. Sara mamla nipta ke jaa rahi hai so taht Ram doesn't get the chance to reject her or throw her out.

I totally agree with all your comments above in regards to Priya suffering from inferior complexity, which is quite evident in her behaviour.

However, I also remember Ram saying a few times to Priya that this marriage was just only compromise and Shivi isn't Priya's sister in anyway. Such words have impact and they sounded harsh to Priya. I know I wouldn't like to hear this from my husband after an arranged marriage.

I also agree that Ram tried to convince Priya that he didn't make the annulment papers but if that's the case, why didn't he tear it apart in front of Priya? Instead he kept it. To Priya, I think that's also a sign that he does want the annulment to take place. In fact, he asked Priya if Meera Ma knows about it and whether or not he should tell.

I don't know about you all, but Ram also has given the impression at some level that he wants the annulment and that's why Priya signs off.

Should be interesting to see how Ram reacts. I think Ram knew Priya would sign off as she already mentioned it to him. He didn't seem to be bothered with it. He seems more concerned whether or not Priya kept the fast for him. Strange I know!

About Ram

He always leaves this big mystery behind why he does what he does. And honestly nobody has the capability to unravel those mysteries other than Brindha, not even Adi and Kunal. Why he left Priya on marriage day and came back so late, mystery. Why he broke Shivi-Akki marriage mystery?Why he did not tell Priya about Raj being the culprit mystery? If he did not make annulment papers, then who did, mystery?

Nobody could have ever guessed that Ram could not come back to mandap because of Prawn allergy. Similarly , it would be impossible for Priya to guess Ram did not tell her about Raj, because he did not want to see her defeated , yet another time due to the step family. Now that a man can do so much for a girl he hardly knows for 20-30 days, is something Priya would not be able to digest even when explicitly told. There is no way she will be able to guess the correct reason. It is only natural for her to think Ram did not trust her enough that she would fight for what is right and go against her family and chose Ram over them.

About annulment papers, just before Priya met Ram in the office, she had a one to one convo with Nandini. Nandini told Priya she has abolutely no issues about Akki-Shivi marraige and it is Ram who wants it cancelled. So Priya won't doubt Nandini.. And when she asked Ram, if not you then whom would you blame , he had no answers. I understand ram did not want to name Nandini or anyone , but he could have atleast said, listen Miss Priya I don't know who made this annulments papers, but the fact of the matter is I don't want the marriage nullified. Vishwas karna hai karo , varna bhaad me jao 😂

About Priya

I completely agree, one heartfelt apology from Priya, and Ram would probably burn the papers just as he burnt the prenup.. From Ram's point of view , he would just be more hurt that was he not worthy enough, that Priya didn't even apologize, did this marriage mean nothing to Priya that she signed the papers without any resistance?

But from Priya's point of view , she understands the gravity of what she has done to Ram's trust. She owns this mistake, and is ready for the punishment. Her monologue in the temple where she says, "Zindagi bhar apne pita ki nafrat sahi, ab Mr Kapoor ki sahungi" shows her state of mind.

She does not want Ram's forgiveness. She has decided Ram is gonna hate her for life for this, and she is ready to take that because she deserves it ..

Her way of saying sorry, is to free Ram from this unwanted relationship. In her head, she thinks he hates her , wants to nullify the marriage, and the least she can do now is to sign the papers without any resistance..

Also IMO one of the biggest personality flaw in Priya is she cannot process, and articulate any of her emotions only exception being anger. That emotion she articulates very well, standing up for her rights , fighting for it etc, life had taught it in the hard way..

But other than that, she can't express any other emotion through words. She will not be able to say " Thank you Mr Kapoor. This means the worlds to me. I am forever grateful" Her way of saying Thank you would be by probably cooking for him , his friends, making a paper swan etc.

Similarly , I don't think we would ever get an "I love you" from her. It would take a melodramatic ITV accident to get that out of her system.😂

Conclusion

In Priya's case it would always be actions speak louder than words. but unfortunately it doesn't work much in real life. In general , people expect you to speak, to express, and no matter how much you care for them through gestures and actions, words outweigh..

Brinda and Twinkle understand this trait of Priya. And soon Ram would understand too.

But right now, he has all the rights to feel angry, hurt, cheated ,not valued etc etc.

Also like you mentioned we as an audience , really need to get ,to spend more time with Priya. Ram is an open book of emotions .We always get to see what he feels at any point in time.

But that rarely happens in case of Priya. She just got answers to some mysterious questions, just recovered from a deadly allergy, got rightfully reprimanded by Ram for elopement drama , her marriage is breaking, she must be so exhausted physically and mentally.

She wants to show the world , she is ok. Nothing happened. All is good. Fine........

But she is a human too. She must be going through a plethora of emotions from within, which I as an audience want to see and experience.

Priya is a complicated character, She is not one dimensional. A diary would have been so useful, but then it would appear a blatant copy of ZGH, but we surely require more monologues, and solo Priya scenes otherwise the distance between Priya and audience will only widen ....

I agree with everything u said. I think the only thing that I want to add is I think she isn't bothering to apologize is because this act of hers according to her is unpardonable. She broke his trust completely. She was the one who spoke a lot about trust before marriage and immediately after as well that she is now extremely guilty and she thinks this broken trust can never be mended. She herself has been thru people betraying her especially Neeraj so I think she relates to how Ram must be feeling and is ok with it. Also even Ram asked whether she informed Meera maa so she thinks he wants this annulment. So she is going thru this.

I cant believe I am talking from Priyas perspective! Honestly I cant stand her negativity in this show. Its just too much for me to take!

this comments are so interesting !

you all said everything I wanted to say !

and yes

when will Ram know about Shivi's "suicide" ? Ig thats when he will understand a bit better ?😔

I agree with everything you have said except this bold part.

The only two times when Ram said Shivi is not Priya's sister were in the farmhouse when Priya was ready to leave from there asap and in the mandir when he was angry. Otherwise, he has never ever differentiated between the two families.

@ red: You're right that Ram is expecting Priya to sign the papers. Coz he knows now that Priya ne ek baar kuch keh diya toh woh karke dikhayegi. Looking forward to why and how Ram rejects to the signing of the papers. I am sure Neeraj is going play a part in it 😉
