And how is it a life that could have been hers? Would Pratap ever have HAPPILY married her like he's marrying Ajabde? No...so her dream was just that...a dream...Pratap would have married her under coercion so it's not like only her "giving up" of Pratap has allowed Pratap-Ajabde to be married.
This is one point I've really not liked in the writing...how Pratap has literally been reduced to an object that Ajabde and Phool took turns passing/tossing to each other...You marry him, no you marry him...like he's not even a human being with a right to his own choice and feelings...so no, I really don't buy this balidaan bhaavna of Phool's...it was a very contrived writing cliche.
Ajabde also did some ridiculous things in the lead up to the wedding but anyways I'm just glad the wedding is done with now.
At the onset let me say am myself a praja shipper and not fond of phool, but can still appreciate what she has done...
With the term "life that could have been hers", I never meant that Pratap would have been jumping with joy for being married to her...my point was, well if she didn't step back, she could have easily been married to pratap, hence becoming the Kunwrani (which is really a big deal..)...and yes pratap would not have been over the moon, joyous, ecstatic at being married with her, but some sort of emotion would have been there...( especially after that stupid gajra kand š”)...mainly friendship, trust whatever, but some sort of affection would have been there...
I am not saying that Phool's the reason Praja got married, but that Phool has played an imp role...she was the person who took out Ajabde from her phool obsession...she was the one who made Rao Maldev see reason...she was the person who again took on Rao Maldev at the engagement (well I dint see anyone from the mewar royals do anything, apart from Jb and she also said things after seeing phool not in favour of marrying pratap!!!)...and lastly she took Ajabde's side when Ajab exposed Uma devi...can u imagine what would have happened if she ditched ajabde at the last moment...(after all it was her own blood, her dadi)...Ajabde for all her right intentions could not have proved anything...n u really think the mewaris would have forgiven ajabde for accusing UD without any proof (phool was her only proof)...as UD is the maharani of marwar and insulting a maharani without a valid reason can have its repercussion...
and I don't equate phool's stepping back with balidan as imo both are very different things...she not only stepped back but also helped remove obstacles in way to praja union...
I am not saying that we should sing paeans for phool but atleast we can appreciate what she has done...I donno what future has in store for phool and her oscillating character, but for now at least we can be civil to her...
these are strictly my opinion...apologies if it offends you in some way...peace...š
