Hello everyone! I'm here to voice my thoughts on that one line that Sumo delivered yesterday.
Suman said something on the lines of 'Un dono ko bahot badi galat fehmi hui hai'. I disagree. The only person who has been at the receiving end of this galat fehmi is Shravan, not Ramnath.
Ramnath is nothing but a misogynist. A man who hates the idea that his wife was more financially able than him. A man who will think ill of this woman who put together day and night to feed their family. Somehow, her efforts were nullified, why? Because Ramnath decided that a woman can only get to the top by sleeping her way through? Umm, you think sleeping your way to the top is the only way woman can be the best in whatever they do, right? Not because they have um, something called talent, hard work and determination. No. She's a woman, which means she traded sexual favours with her boss for a promotion. Ugh. That man disgusts me. So, I say this is galat soch and not galat fehmi.
I just want to put forward a hypothetical scenario. What if Tiwari ji was a woman? What if a woman had given Ramnath his first case? If Nirmala had put forth the same argument, that Ramnath got the case because he slept for it? That man would have scoffed at her. Why? Because he is a man? So, he must have all the freaking brains in the world?
Why are rules different for men and women? Why is a woman's success always second guessed but a man's victory applauded? Why?
The only person who has suffered in this is Shravan. He was shown something, his mother in a compromising situation. But honestly, why was it compromising? What if Ahuja sir was a woman? Then, it would have just looked like Nirmala's friend consoling her after a terrible fight at home. But he was a man. Of course, a man and woman can never be friends. Shravan was at an impressionable age. He had been privy to his parents fighting like cats and dogs. So, what he saw affected him and hurt him and stayed with him all his life. This was a galat fehmi.
So, yes. There is a difference between Galat fehmi and Galat soch. And when Suman says she wants to sort this out with the two of them, I disagree. The only relation which deserves a second chance is that of Nirmala and Shravan. That is the only galat fehmi to erase. I wouldn't mind Ramnath realising his mistake. But I don't want Suman or any one else to even bother with him. He did not misunderstand the situation. He merely understood it as what he wanted it to be.
Also, yes, this is a TV serial with happily ever afters. But I don't want Ramnath and Nirmala to get back together. They can co-parent. But a relationship beyond that, I don't support. I, for one, would never be able to live with a man who disrespected me like that. I hope Nirmala is a woman of steel too.
I don't generally make serious posts. But I had a lot of thoughts going through yesterday's episode. It irked me, seeing how she was mistreated and for what, being a woman?
