Are The CVs Trying To Create Sympathy For Viraj??? - Page 11

Jahnavi remembers almost nothing of Viraj's affection for her. The only memories she has of Viraj are the horrific things he did to her. So, sympathy for Viraj is out of question.

Your reasoning makes no sense to me. There can be no sympathy for V because Jahnvi doesn't remember his affection for her? I have to disagree -- strongly. There can't be any sympathy for V because he raped his own wife, tortured her, caused her miscarriage, put his foster sister and Priya in an asylum, murdered a surgeon, hanged another doctor, not to mention beat up his own mother -- and he did all of this without even the slightest hint at remorse.

Indeed, sympathy for V is out of the question -- reel or real.

I don't understand why the character of Raghav was brought into the story, especially at this early stage.

I wouldn't call six months into a show an "early stage". People had stopped watching the show due to the dark theme and constant torture -- they needed a hero, a hope.

Which brings us to why Raghav was brought into the story.

Viraj is a negative character, that goes without saying. But Raghav too is not perfect.

You're right. He isn't perfect because he's human. I've yet to meet a perfect human.

He has his "slave" whom he treats badly.

Correction: He has his best friend whom he horses around with. Whom he values. Whom he trusts.

He too is prone to violence, and may very well cause physical harm (inadvertently), as in the scene where Jahnavi passes the wrong tool to him when he is under the car and can't see her.

Huh. My sister likes to hit me a lot and it seriously hurts. Should I have her arrested? She might be prone to violence.

Now, as for that scene -- he was handed a tool, not a chainsaw. I'm sure that if he'd been handed a chainsaw, he wouldn't have tossed it at Sunder/Jahnvi's feet. I threw a remote control at my sister's head once. It damaged her a lot more than that tool did Jahnvi.

Viraj plans his tortures, Raghav too is seething with anger all the time.

How so? He beat up some guys for teasing a young girl, yeah. But to me, he seems calm. Like still water. Still waters run deep, and there's anger buried deep within him. You need to provoke him for a long time before he reacts. The tea scene between him and V is one solid proof to that one.

I fail to see how his anger is comparable to Viraj's torture plans?

In my opinion, not the safest guy to marry.

No one spoke of any marriage plans on the show, as far as I'm concerned.

Raghav has also displayed cowardliness, as in when he refused to take the repeated calls from Unniyal and sped off on his bike.

Not taking phone calls is cowardly? Don't you think that sounds a bit illogical? I mean, he was on his bike, ready to leave, and some dude keeps calling him. Maybe Raghav didn't have time to pick up the call. Maybe he was not in the mood to talk. Or maybe the writers just wanted to create suspense.

Please don't get me wrong. Viraj as a husband is non-negotiable, but as a fictional character is immensely rich in possibilities.

How? In this entire post, you've pointed out flaws in Raghav's character. But you still have not explained or elaborated on how Viraj has rich possibilities.

The story writers should refrain from having Viraj commit near murderous acts, unless they want to portray a psychopath.

Well, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck -- odds are, it's a duck. In V's case, I'm sure that we're dealing with a man who has psychopathic tendencies. And committing the near murderous acts is a huge part of his persona. Why? Because he has a God complex and likes to feel rush of power that comes with knowing that you can bring someone to the brink of death and decide whether he/she can live or not.

Raghav, again is not ideal husband material.

Protective, kind, loving, caring, pure-hearted, straightforward, just -- yeah, definitely not husband material. I see. But once again, marriage isn't in the cards yet, as far as I know.

He is unable to show affection.

Falsified. Watch recent episodes.

express his feelings,

Falsified. Watch recent episodes.

And is prone to violence and despotism.

Raghav stands up for the weak to protect them -- just like men go to war to defend their land. Now as for despotism -- elaborate, please. Because I fail to understand this comparison.

All these characteristics will lead to too many ups and downs in a marriage.

Again, I fail to understand this as half of the characteristics that you mentioned have been falsified in the episodes by the writers.

Jahnavi is too weak, period.

Finally we agree on something 😳
