Hey Everyone! New-ish around here so hey to all! =] People who know mee, know I tend to post looong posts so please bear with me, my intentions are not to bore you, just I enjoy essay writing 😆
Coming to my post- I don't feel sorry for Kastur! I sound evil and hard hearted but I actually sided with Mohan upon hearing his explanation.
1. I don't get why Kastur had to ask Mohan? It isn't something he said as a joke, I mean it was pretty obvious in the way he had said it so why keep on conflicting more pain.
2. Mohan like he said wanted to share his happiness with his wife. The date wasn't in his eyes him wooing or being romantic. AND he was under influence of alcohol. How can Kastur take him seriously? He obviously was wooohziiiee! & completely OOC yet still Kastur believed he loves her.
3. Mohan explained that they had an arranged marriage and that his responsibility is to ensure she is happy. About 95% of the time, in an arranged marriage the couple do not love each other but learn to love one another and it shouldn't be forgotten that Mohan lived in a whole different environment for his early years of adulthood. He came back to India after years of living abroad so it is natural for him to find himself following the same mind-set values as followed in the countries abroad.
4. Mohan isn't saying he hates Kastur, only that he doesn't love her. Ultimately he needs time to get to know her. He came back and was throttled into marriage. [Not blaming Kastur or saying Mohan is innocent there] but he didn't get a chance to court, date or get to know Kastur properly.
5. Like Mohan said when did Kastur feel that he was in love with her, he hasn't really given her any excuse to believe he is or was in love her. I ask- Do you not hug your friends? Do you not support your friends in time of need? Do you not love them to a certain extent SO why is Kastur any different to those friends? I'm sorry for anyone who thinks I am being evil or irrational but just because Kastur is Mohan's wife does not mean he is romantically in love with her. It just seems as though Kastur expects him to love her just because she is his wife. She hasn't even asked him before and caught off guard he answered the question quite truthfully. How can he love someone he hardly knows. Her likes, dislikes, what her favourite colour is, what her favourite film is. Does he know any of that? No and can she truthfully say she knows his likes and dislikes? I doubt it, personally I don't understand why Kastur couldn't have just said to Mohan, fair enough you don't love me but that doesn't mean we can't build a real relationship. It seems as though all the mushy romance is what Kastur sees her marriage to be about? Why not stay back with Mohan, get to know him, his ways and what he is genuinely like instead of assuming?
I apologise in advance to everyone, if anyone thinks I am being unfair or just supporting Mohan because he is Mohan. In actual fact, I haven't actually supported Mohan on anything till now because he seems like a self-absorbed, spoilt, ignorant, selfish, lying mommy's boy who wants what he wants without thinking of his consequences first but here I just can't understand why Mohan is guilty here? I know everyone has their own views and I respect them but I would like to know if anyone actually understands this from Mohan's POV rather than just feeling sorry for Kastur.
Okay that's mee all done. =] Please do comment and debate! Would love to know your thoughts and conflicting views as I know many will have on this topic! :D
