Yes, that is why Dev is not qualified to be a RP at this point. A RP should be rational and unbiased. He has taken Radhika for granted and hence her sacrifices are also taken for granted. Barkha's sacrifices are given all the importance without him realizing that Barkha has got so much in return for those "sacrifices" - status in the society, wealth, respect in family and outside. Radhika has got nothing for everything she has done. She is leading an anonymous life and yet she was not complaining.
True...its all because taking for granted and Radhika accepted it ...she never drew the line.That is why this new Rdahika is confusing Dev because she is not running after him...
Now if they were showing Dev's inner thoughts, they can show that his own hidden guilt feelings (everyone knows deep in their heart when they wrong somebody; Dev being the sensitive soul would have even more guilt feelings or aprad-bodh as it is called in Hindi) are causing him to behave like this. Lashing at Radhika is much easier than to confront his own immoral actions as that is very painful. That's why he is sounding more and more like grandfather and less like old Dev he used to be.Yes...but that will make Dev a flawed human character...here the creatives want to keep him as a one dimensional illogical character...
Since articles indicate that real Radhika is going to come and Barkha would be exposed in next two episodes, I hope they show reaction from Radhika's side at least. I don't know to whom the real Radhika is going to come out to...audience, Barkha, family...Hope the truth of Radhika is only restricted to audience...Radhika was shown hurt that Dev was the first one to desert her.yes She should be relieved that Barkha has been exposed. But now her hurt feelings should forth especially when she finds out that Dev filled Barkha's maang. So she should be shown withdrawing from Dev. If they cannot show monologues on Dev's part, let Radhika and Dev confrontation be shown where she shows him the mirror to what he has become. I hope they don't skip on this just to show some romance to make fans happy. For the exposure part I will wait forwhat they show but yes regarding Radhikas reaction and behaviour to Dev
I would be repelled if they start showing romance between Dev and Radhika right after Barkha is exposed. How would Radhika be able to behave naturally in front of Dev who let her down so badly. They did that during Abhay track, but I hope they don't do it this time. Yes
But again lines from yesterday's episode and then this ME promo combined with all articles are making me extremely skeptical about this track. I am looking to see Radhika getting full justice in this track. That would involve stiff punishment for Barkha (death, jail for good or asylum for life), atonement for Dev (losing Radhika's trust and even companionship for some time), and punishments for other PF members where they lose status and home. I want to see a long confrontation scene between Dev and Radhika where Radhika finally takes Dev to task. As a wife, she has right to blast him for what he did. But again lines like Radhika/Kanha saying Padma is nice, atonment for mistakes etc. are making me think that this track may again be spoilt rather than being followed properly. Hope I am wrong and am pleasantly surprised for once.yes
I like flawed characters as they make story more interesting. Here Dev is deeply flawed but unfortunately episode after episode he is being converted into one dimensional illogical character all in channel's quest for some short-term TRPs. Rather than giving emotional closure to a long time viewer, it leaves one with a lot of dissatisfaction to see a character being forced to act like this. There is a difference between a flawed grey complex character who is human and a one dimensional illogical character that repels people. I prefer flawed characters because they are interesting ...their reactions will give the tracks but that does not mean that the characters stops becoming real and starts pingponging based on the demand for TRP and the need to glorify some other character....
