Um Sangini, will you be my best friend? Lol. No seriously, when I read your message, i was so happy to find someone who sees eye to eye with me. My sister and I are the ONLY TWO girl cousins who grew up in America, and we over and over give this message to our married girl cousins back home in pak. That a women has her own identity (also that abuse isnt always physical! it can be emotional as well) some of my family girls have constantly tired to change their husbands with love, to be more caring and understanding, some of the men have just not changed, and the wives have lost themselves, their personality their "wajood" in all of this. its so sad.
I was just happy to read your msg, like i said ive interned at a battered womens shelter for south asians, and my sister is a phD in psych. thats why sometimes when i watch this show, (no offense to anyone), i cant help but think "what is going on, is this realistic, is this idealistic, what will happen next?" and i think honestly, thats why the trp's are falling.
Viraj, i guess, is a more complicated and different case, as he does love jhanvi and does show his love, and has psych issues,
but I feel in the real world, some guys dont have psych issues, they just want to be more powerful and more dominant, no matter what their wife does, its not good enough, she can perfectly execute all her duties and if they arent happy, and mistreat her, then she starts blaming herself (as you mentioned) when the fact of the matter is, its not you, its HIM.
anyways, good disc. here for sure! so happy everyone respects each others opinions, its a respectful forum.
keep rocking guys.
