Hello all.
First I just want to say Hi, I've been watching the show for a while ( watched the older episodes online) and now I depend heavily on IF to provide updates. (Thanks Guys!).
I liked this show in the beginning because it was different - a twisted marriage between a 50 year old man and an 18 year old teenager who was 'forced' into marriage simply because the man was too egoistic and wanted his factory workers to go back to work !.
I am surprised by many comments by people (certainly everyone has certainly a right to their opinion and so do I) that they do not find the relationship (if one can even use that term) between DM and Santo offensive but that between Hiten and Khemi - one of consenting unrelated well matched adults objectionable simply because Santo has a 'Ma 'complex' in her head. Just because Santo and DM got 'ahem' –married (if you can use that term) does not make Hiten and Khemi Maasi-Bhanja.
Hiten is being made out to be some villan but the real villan who did the real shameful act was DM. the so called 'Dharm-raj" ( i.e Dharm-ki' raksha karney wala) . Marrying a child who was way younger than half your children is such a vulgar act that after that he should have given resignation as dharmapur ka malik and handed that job over to his son. Only Hiten had the guts to point that out to DM. Not only that after that he treated his 'wife' so badly.Remember Hiten pointing out and saying ' Will you also do the same to this child what you did to my mother ?" ( maybe there is a mystery how Subhadra died ?)
The unfortunate thing about self-righteous Santo is that she truly believes in zaat-paat. She believes in her heart that she is inferior and therefore deserves less. On the other hand Khemi knows she probably will get less than she deservers, but aspires for more more - Khemi and Hiten are the bright future of India. Regressive people like DM and Santo with their nauseating twisted views of 'dharma' are better in the dark ages of India. Like Hiten said I will not be an Eklavya - because as interesting as that story was - it was an tale of grave injustice.
And before people start looking to make sweet love stories of DM and Santo please look around and see the closest 50 year old man and see what he looks like. He will not be handsome like Ronit Roy not he will be the kind of guy that any 18 year old even as silly as Santo would want to have any romantic entanglements with far from any man-women adult relationship with. Keep that in mind becasue I feel like throwing up when they talk of their slow and steady love being the 'true' love.
It is interesting that DM didn't give a damn to anyone's feelings, his family etc but he did the marriage solely for his only personal business gain. But Hiten wants to do the same because he is in love – not harming anyone, yet fake relationships of fake marriages are an issue ?
The only person who has spoken the truth about the true character of DM has been Hiten from the very beginning. Hopefully Hiten will be the only one who will expose him further and remove the Jaat-paat nonesense from Dharampur and take Dharampur on the path of progress and away from the concept of a 'Maalik'. Even HUman Being has only one Maalik and that Maalik is God.
