boosi,
Agree with you! Hiten does not care about anyone. I suppose such attitude should be celebrated. And an attitude like Santo's which is to try and do the best you can, keep things under wraps, and think of everyone's welfare, is interference and should be avoided.
Opti,
Pls see the episodes concerning DM-Santo's wedding before you post your views about them. Looks like you have misunderstood the crux of Bandini. You yourself say that Santo chose to marry DM. That is not at all the case. And you can also see how Khemi the elder sister came to convince her younger sister to agree to marry (not DM but Mahesh who ran away so DM had to marry Santo).
We can have discussions to try and understand and/or express our views about different characters in a show. But it seems like you are 100% convinced Hiten and Khemi are right, Santo is wrong. In which case, why discuss it? You are entitled to your views. And so is everyone else. But it seems like a lot of us are posting our views here assuming we will have a good debate and discussion with many, but instead it seems to be all about convincing you. Which I am not sure is what IF is intended for.
So kindly tell us all if I am right (that you are sure Hiten and Khemi are right and see no point in discussing further), in which case, this thread can be closed.
If, on the other hand, this thread is not about your individual views on Hiten-Khemi-Santo, but you are genuinely looking to analyse both pros and cons, then I apologise for assuming otherwise. And will be happy to discuss.
No one character can be 100% flawless. DM and Santo have their faults and we will see more of that in later episodes, I am sure (we have seen enough of DM's). But right now, it is about Hiten and Khemi and I am sorry if you are hurt by the way they are being branded selfish. Writers are just trying to show that when young people are passionately in love as Hiten and Khemi are, they may lose sight of the larger picture. which is an important point to keep in mind.
Whether individual happiness is important or family honour is important is a question which vexes millions of people. It cannot be resolved in one internet forum discussion thread.
