Hello my dear Dmgians,😊
I'm back again with another topic...Have been quite busy lately that's why I'm not able to post as many as topics I thought I would..
My topic for today is about none other than OUR DAKKU DADDY...as he seems to hot topic of discussion on the forum...
PART-1
SHASHANK GUPTA-AN IDEAL FATHER???
Here I'm going to discuss his equation with our dear Marathon Runner Riddhima ji...
If people out here have seen Sanjeevani-A medical Boon can say that Dr.Shashank Gupta back then was a very sensible and fair minded character.He was one man who never cared about so called "SAMAJ/SOCIETY" and its norms.
He was one of those character who always supported Rahul and Juhi throughout their journey and he would always stand up what he thinks is right....
Also, our Paddo Rani is not the second women in his life, she is actually the third one...
The first one was a character called "Smriti"..
The second one was...sorry I forgot her name...
(She was that actress who is currently portraying the role of "Sumitra", Anandi's mother-in-law in Balika Vadu....Sorry, I dont know that actress name...)
Now coming back to Dr.Shashank Gupta of DMG, his character intially was the same old Shashank of Sanjeevani.He was one sensible,responsible and fair-minded character...
But off late, his character too have undergone drastic changes....
EQUATION WITH RIDDHIMA :
Lets consider the decisions he made that has affected Riddhima's life the most...
1)RIDDHIMA'S ADOPTION :
When Riddhima came to know about all this, I guess she felt indebted to shashank and also at times felt that he did never truly understand her in many matters...But she still does lover her father and tries her best at all times not to go against his decisions...
2)SHANKY-PADDO MARRIAGE :
At that point of time, I guess she felt complete and secured for the person who has adopted her, given her his surname, became her a father and her mother were getting married and hence she call Shashank "Papa" in its real sense...
The same thing goes for Shashank as well....
During the whole adoption drama, I guess Shashank feared rejection from Riddhima.
3)SHASHANK OPPOSING AR RELATIONSHIP :
This was one of the times When Riddhima felt that her father never understood her feelings.She didnt seem to understand how her father did not understand her love for Armaan.
Shashank, I guess in opposing AR relationship at that time was understandable.As a father, he needed to know if Armaan was her Mr.Right.
He had to put Armaan to test his love and loyal towards Riddhima.Also, this was a great thing for AR as it gave Armaan a chance to prove that nobody can love Riddhima as much as he does and her happiness lies with him alone.At the end of this oppostion, Shashank had to loose, he had to accept the fact that Armaan was indeed the Perfect guy Riddhima could ever get.
4)ARMAAN'S ACCIDENT(POST ROKA) :
In this case too, Shashank tried his best to convince Riddhima to reconsider her decision about Armaan as he might never get his memory back.Here again, it was a fatherly gesture on Shashank's part as in reality a father would want his daughter to reconsider her decision if such a situation arrives.But again as we saw, AR's love triumphed over circumstances.
5)SHOOTOUT INCIDENT :
Here again, we got to witness AR's love for each other.Their undying love and support for each other.They were ready to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the other.I think this was one of the biggest examples of "TRUE LOVE".
Armaan trying his best to save Riddhima from the clutch of terrorists and Riddhima taking in a bullet for Armaan.They actually proved that its better to die together than to live without each other...
6)ARMAAN'S DEPARTURE(POST SHOOTOUT INCIDENT) :
Many posts on this forum had gone ahead to bash Armaan on this issue but as I earlier tried to justify Armaan's actions ( in my post titled "Armaan&Riddhima-hypothermia incident) and stated that emotional/pyschological reasons do have a great impact on the decisions we make in life.Hence, Armaan too had his reasons and his true love for Riddhima compelled him to leave her and go.
Shashank from this moment began commiting the most grave mistakes of his life.
I didnt understand how Shashank being a doctor and that too a neuro surgeon let Armaan go away when he knew what his condition was like.I didnt understand how Shashank didnt get an indication that something like this happening would mean "destruction of Riddhima".
Another big mistake, Shashank made was to say Riddhima that Armaan left her because he didnt love her.This was the last blow Riddhima could take.It shattered her completely from within.Hence, we lost our "Basket", our "Real" Riddhima.And this Ridddhima became a heartless person.Someone who doesnt even have an emotional range of teaspoon.
Here again, CV's are put to blame for taking the story forward in such an insensible,insensitive and unrealistic manner.
7)RIDDHIMA COMING TO KNOW THE TRUTH :
Here once again, Riddhima lost faith in her father.
When Shashank said, "Armaan tumhein isliye nahi cchod kar gaya that kyunki woh tumse pyaar nahi karta tha balki isliye cchod kar gaya kyunki woh tumse se behad pyaar karta tha".
When she heard this, she knew all that he said was a lie and she began to have a feeling of hatred for him for keeping her separate from the man who loved her beyond anything and whose love knew no boundaries.
8)SHASHANK'S ROLE IN SR STORY :
This was the worst thing Shashank could have done to Riddhima as a father not because
(SR fans please, stop giving me those deadly looks.I do not mean to bash SR/Sidma.Because Riddhima is the common link between both AR/SR, AR cant be kept away from SR's matters and so even SR cant be kept away.I have to use their references in order to state my POV.)
Sid clicked pictures of Riddhima and he didnt do anything about it, not because of hypothermia incident, not because Riddhima accused Sid but because you actually offered her as a "bait" to the society norms.You seemed to care more about society than your daughter's happiness.You actually sacrificed her for saving your own grace.
Did you even think once about "SAMAJ" when you were getting married to Padma....
Did you think what society might say about a widower getting married to a woman who became a mother before marriage???
No, you didnt because what mattered to you was what was right, your family's happiness, your happiness and your love...You gave a damn to society then why such an orthodox behaviour when it came to your own daughter.
Especially when there was nothing to care about.Agreed that Sid & Riddhima did behave in the most childish, immature and insensible manner but a good lesson could have served them well.But that good lesson neednt be a marriage.Its you who has played an vital role in disrespecting an institution like marriage.
Marriage is whole hearted commitment, its a union of mind, heart, soul and body.Just because a sister in hospital goes blabbering about your daughter and Sid, do you actually go ahead and get them married.
If supposing, someday somebody comes to you saying Billy and Padma are having an affair, will you get them married without probing in to investigate the truth just because society people are saying so???
Yes, your beahviour too was as ridiculous as that.
Even after getting them married, did you try to know from your daughter even once whether she is happy or not considering you were a witness of AR's love???
No, you didnt, you happily assumed that everything is alright.
"SEEING IS NOT ALWAYS BELEIVING", Dr.Shashank Gupta.
"Kabhi-kabhi aankein bhi aapko dhoka de jati hain".
Living in a society does not mean you have to live your life the way society wants.
Tongues are bound to wag and we should know how to shut people's mouth in some cases.
There should be balance between mantaining terms with society and living life.
One should not overdo the latter.
9)SHASHANK"S ROLE IN SR DIVORCE :
When, you have come back from a long long holiday and when you meet your daughter who's crying non stop, who says you about her love and divorce with your husband, what is that you do???
You go and ask your daughter's ex-fiance/her love for help.
Are you so incapable of solving your daughters problems that you need an invovlement of a third person and too her love.
That is indeed the height of ridiculousness.When Armaan wanted to leave, you yourself stopped him.
Have'nt you already done enough damage to Armaan,Riddhima's life???
Havent you messed up the situation to an extent that nobody is able to arrive on a conclusion???
Havent you already thrusted your decisions on your daughter enough number of times???
Did you ever bother asking her as to what she wants???
Where does her happiness lie???
Okay, Agreed that no father will like his daughter to face such a situation in life.
But will a father say, " Shaadi meri marzi se hui hain ab talak bhi meri marzi ke bina nahi ho sakta".
Will a father say, " Look, you are going to break this up, the entire blame will fall on you".
Did he realize what kind of pyschological effect this kind of emotional black-mailing will have on her???...
An ideal father would say, " Dear, I understand what you are going through.But trying giving your marraige a second chance.Just, try it once...He's a nice guy...Beyond that, whatever decision you make I will always stand by you.Think only about your happiness".
So, Dr.Shashank Gupta, let your daughter take her own decisions for once in her life.Its ultimately her who has to face the consequences.Support her in this testing times but do not thrust your decisions on her.Leave Armaan, Riddhima, Sid Alone at the moment and let them decide.
So, guys if you have liked my character discussions and If you allow me,
