Arjun
So far he has -
Physically assaulted Rads by gripping her arm intending to hurt
Confronted her in the restroom which is a criminally liable act and goes under sexual perversions in the Penal Code if I am not mistaken (correct me if I am wrong)
Threatened rape (regardless of intent, it is still a crime)
Abandoned her by the roadside in the middle of the night, endangering her on purpose
Manhandled her again
Saral
He has used his SIL to emotionally blackmail Rads into marrying him
Handled her roughly.
He asked her not to wear western outfits
Remind me again, why is Arjun a hero and Saral the villain?
Red - when was that?Arjun v Radhika - Arjun is dealing w/ a very nosey girl who has nothing better to do than to interfere in his personal affairs. She is an employee of the same company that he works in, but gets into his face for the sake of her friend Sam - not sure whether w/ or w/o her endorsement. She is nobody of his.
Let's look at what he was reacting/responding to, b4 playing the gender card. In at least 2 of the cases, he was going after Sam, and Radhika came and did what she could to intercept him and slow him down. Had Radhika been a guy, they'd have come to fistfights. Since she's a gal, Arjun had to pull his punches, but nonetheless, gave it to her. In the elevator, for instance, he pinned her to the wall after she had pressed all the buttons of the elevator intending to have it stop at every floor and slow him down.
Or the hotel room incident, where she forced herself into the room, then first demanded that he give her the bed and sleep on the sofa for a room that
he was paying for, then tried to snatch the blanket and finally ended up w/ him in the balcony. Couldn't she have taken another room and later asked Sam or Neil to reimburse her, given the lengths she was going for her friend?
I don't necessarily consider Arjun the hero, and nor do I endorse either his going after Sam or his manhandling Radhika. But I refuse to condemn him, since Radhika is doing enough to harass him: had Radhika been a guy going out of his way to intercept a gal chasing another guy, it would have been called harrassment, plain & simple. She gets away w/ what she does b'cos of the plot about Arjun being vindictive, but regardless or not, Radhika has no business getting involved here.
As for Saral, he was actually nice in Hrishikesh, encouraging his parents to allow Radhika to go to Mumbai. Somehow, he's been turned black since the CVs can't have TWO positive guys paired w/ the lead female, after they have 2 positive gals paired w/ the lead male.
