I'm going to weigh in on this topic - while I completely agree that Samrat needs a wake up call badly and he needs to be taught a lesson - with the way the show has been progressing thus far - Samrat (in my opinion) is beyond any point of return. There is no saving grace to his character. He has every bad quality you can think of - he's egoistic, arrogant, abrasive, condescending, he thinks the world of himself and thinks he can get away with anything because he is a "man". He treats people very badly, he's rude to his family - he has no respect for anyone - especially women. He expects everyone to dance to his tunes and dare anyone speak up against him.
Till date I haven't seen a single good quality about him - at the very beginning of the show he was arrogant and rude but practical - that just snowballed into what we see today. So in my opinion he is beyond any point of redemption and frankly I don't even know what it would take to get him off his high horse - maybe if he lost all his money but seeing his character thus far - that would just make him even more bitter and spiteful.
As for Urmi and Ishaan - I am not in favor of this story line. I agree that Urmi deserves a good person as a husband - someone who will care for her, be kind, compassionate and respectful - all qualities that Ishaan does have. However I don't want the Ishaan- Urmi angle for a few reasons
1) Ishaan is Samrat's friend - while this isn't THAT big of a deal in the grand scheme of things - I'd much rather Urmi move on with out any shadow of her time with Samrat and as much as we like Ishaan we can't avoid the fact that he was Samrat's best friend AND right before the wedding ceremony when Urmi cornered Ishaan and asked him about Samrat - Ishaan hid the truth - he knew Samrat is not the kind of person that Urmi thinks him to be.
Well some one in Urmi is definitely needed, and if that is Ishaan there is nothing wrong. What is the mistake of Ishaan just because he is Samrat friend, he is ruled out. Why? I don't see ant valid reason here, Urmi initially just blindly followed parents and married that idiot, now that she knows, she would definitely need to know the person whom she is choosing to spend her rest of the life with.
Moreover Ishaan is completely different man and in every juncture she has seen what type of person he is.
Coming to hiding the truth, now Urmi understands very well by now, that what all Ishaan said on behalf of samrat was all his feelings of how it should have been . Infact the face off has happened in reality, her armaano ki doli nahi samrat ke ghar arthi uthi hai Urmi ki.
Ab Ishaan leke jayega sahi doli Urmi ke armaanon ki . Aur samrat ko Milana chahiye baba ji ka tullu 😡
2) Urmi should be independent - if Urmi gets divorced from Samrat and remarried to Ishaan - what does that establish? That a woman always needs a man for her support? I don't think that would be right message in line with the story line - as far as i understand the story is trying to show how women are abused emotionally, verbally and physically by spouses or in-laws and they keep quite which just creates a vicious cycle as no one is standing up to the perpetrators - so they have to show a strong woman who can stand up against this evil and carve a path out on her own. Preferably with out a man by her side. Once this point is established - if she chooses to take her personal life forward and finds a compatible companion - then that is acceptable but a long drawn out drama revolving around the divorce and then the regressive "Urmi ka kya hoga" "who will marry a divorcee" "how will see spend the rest of her life" and a subsequent hunt for the next suitor who will "accept" Urmi and her "past" is just regressive. These kinds of thoughts need to be addressed also - if we're going to show a story line where the chauvinistic male lead is stood up against - they should also show the other side which is it is not necessary that a woman's identity be daughter and sister and then wife, daughter-in-law and bhabi - she should be able to have the choice of creating her own identity if she wishes - get a career and be independent or want to be a homemaker - neither should be looked down upon - it should be a personal choice.
I agree Urmi has to become independent and she will stand up for herself. This does not mean every women aspire to do job whether she like it or not. A women can choose to be dutiful housewife too and get equal respect in the family and in her partners life.
I understand that Urmi is shown to be a small town girl - who has been sheltered her whole life and hasn't really been given the chance to be independent nor has she really sought to be so. So this will also be a good story line (if handled appropriately) of how a small town girl from a conservative background - finds her inner strength and rises above all the conservative/regressive thought process. Just as they have shown Urmi standing up for what is right outside the home - be it raising a voice against eve-teasers or cheating husbands... she has stood by what is correct. This proves she does have a brain and she can when need be raise her voice against wrong. Lets hope this quality propels her forward and she files a case against her abusive husband and eventually divorces him. We'll just have to bear through all the regressive thinking which will become obstacles in her path.
Here's to hoping for Urmi's freedom!
Yes, she should file complaint against Samrat and then divorce him, and show him that World doesn't end if he thinks for others and marry Ishaan and show samrat how worst of a person or human he is.
