di! i agree to what you say and feel about the current scenario
dr. shashank never wanted riddhima to mingle with armaan bu gradually he started accepting the fact. on shoot out day, we actually saw the biased attitude of a father," riddhima , hamesha armaan ki wajah se problems mein hoti hai!". the statement actually indicated a lot many things. and yes dr. shashank's attitude was clearly visible to armaan.'
after armaan's treatment, he talked to dr. shashank about his illlness[ as seen in flashbacks] but i never saw a single effort from 'father's' side to persuade armaan to stay, to make him realise that he was not alone and that they all loved him.he just let the things be as they were. so a promise was made to armaan by dr. shashank and he kept it.
and after armaan had left he actually realised, that yes. this man loved my daughter selflessly, more that he himself, more than his life and more than anything else.
alas! riddhima believed all the lies! it actually shocked me. armaan was always beside you through thick and thin, how could he leave you solely for your discrepancy? yes, she failed to believe him until the day the truth crashed upon her like hell, taking her out of the artificial life she was living in. she questioned her father , her mother, never wanting to understand that armaan had demanded a promise and they were fulfilling it. she doubted their love and behaved like a lunatic!
' mujhe armaan se koi alag nahi kar sakta, aap nahi bhagwan nahi khud armaan bhi nahi'. these words not only came out of a girl who love a man dearly but also because of her guilt, guilt of not believing armaan's love, failing to trust him..
she finally found armaan in panchgani, who saw her fainted. his love, pain and helplessness clearly visible in his eyes but the determination of saving riddhima's life from his madness. he wrote a letter removed the tokens of love which adorned her wrist and foot. and whatever unexpected happened afterwards changed their lives drastically. riddhima married siddhanth because of the disgrace that their soiled relationship had brought upon to her and her family, her alleging the body he incident as a rape.
even though medical reports falsified her allegations, nobody tried to change the circumstances. nobody else in the hospital came to know the truth.the way sister padma was treated inhumanely, how much ever a woman does good to others, repent for her mistakes, gets married even after the society demeans her, nothing changes for her. the society never forgets 'such incidents', where they preferably blame woman.
having seen so much in her life, sister padma should have stuck to her daughter's side rather than letting the society deciding the fate of their daughter..
and today when armaan broke in front of him, he just told him to face it. no its not that easy. i understood what he tried to say. riddhima should actually move on facing her past and not run away from it. but what about armaan? he will die thousand deaths to see her love in somebody else arms. but i think its his sole right to decide now, because ha actually has no one to think about and no body to be left out after he leaves.
the thing which actually bothers me that why didn't dr. shashank stop armaan with the same zeal and force as he is doing now? because earlier he thought about riddhima and not how armaan will bear the pain alone and now also for her alone. its not going to help armaan , anyway.
armaan was foolish in his decision but dr. shashank could have made him change his decision with the essence and gravity of the words he is using presently.
it would be difficult for riddhima to move on in front of him? why? because she still loves armaan and armaan also reciprocates the same feelings. so he should rather give her some time alone to decide what she actually wants. if she decides to give her marriage another try, its fair but only if she is allowed to think and not forced to do something.
and i don't want dr. shashank to involve him in sid-ridz problem because it will make matters worse. if the relationship is that strong to bear armaan's presence, then it will. and its actually riddhima who has to do something, otherwise her silence would actually gnaw sid's insides and think that she wants be with armaan.
and i understand dr. shashank's concern and love for riddhima but the way he put across his thoughts is another thorn rose for me. being a doctor, and that too a reknowned surgeon,he said those words which he actually need not to.
i am not saying that any father would be happy to see her daughter divorce in early days of her marriage but he should explain things optimisiticly rather than the society whom he is talking about. you know a doctor understands people's psychology better and especially when the person is his own daughter.
riddhima is a traditional and caring girl. she won't go against her elder's wishes and dr. shashank knows it. and by bringing the whole point of socital glare will actually make her bound to the marriage. even if she decided to take charge of her life , and if her choice is
1armaan- then completely shattered. those words would ring in her mind and never let her go to armaan. never. she would be stamped upon by the the honorable society.
2. now sid. if she choses sid out of respect and thinking that he is her present, then in my opinion she would try to make her marriage work and in the process if she forgets armaan, then she would be happy.
and if she still craves for armaan, then also the societal chains would not set her free.
in my opinion, parents are children's guiding light. they are one of the most important persons and its whom they look upto and have pride upon. their actions and words have a long lasting impression in their mind. so i expect parents to be more understanding and not sound more like commanding officers, especially the parents who are so experienced and professional. every parent is concerned about her child and such reactions are expected but the way they see it what actually matters!
here dr.shashank wants her to save the marriage but giving her wrong bases to do so. no daughter would cherish her life at cost of her family's dignity!
and society is not going to witness the pain, riddhima will go through.
i still remeber the holi scene where riddhima , like a promising wife, decided to clean sid's shoes. the same society criticised her mentality saying' dr. riddhima aisi to nahi thi'
no they didn't see her pain but only saw how easily she bowed down in front of her husband!
sorry to make such a lengthy post but i couldn't help it di!😃loved reading it...u poured ur heart in it😊
