I believe one must respect one's parents and parents are irreplaceable...no one can do so much for you, as much as your parents do.
BUT, it does not mean that parents own an individual's life and that a person should do things only in accordance with their parents' wishes. Years ago, even choosing a profession of one's own choice was considered disobedience and disrespect to parents. But now we see people slowly changing their attitude and letting their kid explore his own career interests.
I don't exactly support Jagya's decision to marry Gauri. But sticking to his previous marriage only for the sake of his parents is not right.
What would have happened if J had not openly married Gauri and brought her to his home? He could have kept coming back home from time to time and given a false impression to A and his family - that he's happily married to A, while continuing his affair with G in the city! Or he could have married both and kept shuttling between village and city to keep both girls under a false impression! Majority of men do these things!🤢
It's good that at least J left A and didn't try to sail in two boats!
If parents are responsible for a person and they shape a person's life...then I think somewhere they are also responsible in case their child does something wrong! Their upbringing has been faulty somewhere!
Sumitra was blissfully unaware of everything her kids did! She never knew that Sugna was secretly meeting and making out with with Pratap or that little Jagya was into gambling and sleazy magazines with pics of nude girls!🤢 What role has she played as a mother except pampering her kids?!
Bhairon was well meaning, but only in intentions. He failed to enforce discipline and give a solid moral base to his kids! Whenever he came to know of Jagya's or Sugna's ''deeds'' - it was always too late! Plus it is also DS' fault for not letting Bhairon go strict on J or punish him strongly for his grave mistakes. DS would feign heart /panic attacks the moment Bhairon tried to slap Jagya as a kid!😡
Grandparents are always possessive and over-protective about their grandkids, but at times parents must take a harsh step and reprimand the child in case he does something gross and goes in wrong direction! Bhairon's biggest folly was to yield to DS and Basant and stop disciplining his own kids, all for the sake of maasa! 🤢
Look at Gehna! She disciplines Nandu so well and reprimands him immediately if he acts too stubborn! At times she doesn't even yield if DS or Basant ask her to! In fact, Gehna was the first one to sense that Sugna was ''upto something'' with Pratap!
Parents or grandparents are equally faulty if they pamper a child too much and keep ignoring their kid's mistake as ''bachpana'' or ''jawani ki bhool''. 🤢
Jagya saw how DS kept bringing in new girls for his tausa Basant - his family members have not been positive role models!😡
He's already shown bits of grace by leaving Anandi and not attempting to keep both women and at least telling the truth openly to his family.
Parents or family members (like DS) are also equally to be blamed for a faulty upbringing and failure to give a solid sense of character and values. [Especially in case of Jagya in BV]
I think one must honour his parents and seek their approval and blessings, especially in choosing a life partner. But in case one's parents don't approve and he/she insists on marrying their ''love'', then they should be ready to pay the price and choose between two things - either family or their so-called ''love''. [Anyway, poor parents usually end up accepting everything sooner or later...and really possessive ones go the honour-killing way!]
In BV, anyone would have accepted J-G had J not been already married to A, and if he had not kept everyone in the dark for 5 years!
