Anyways, coming to the point of my post, i have always mentioned that Veera & Baldev are similar in a lot of ways..Their basic mindset, temperament, approach towards life-its as similar as it can get..The difference is that Veera had a Ranvi who could teach her right from wrong while Baldev has Bansuri who always over-indulged him & pushed him to the wrong side..Both Veera and Baldev are filled with pride and prejudiced against the other in more ways than one..Right from their childhood, Veera has always been of the opinion that Baldev is a spoilt brat who can go to any extent to get what he wants..Now if we had to think from Veera's perspective, what do you expect her to make of Baldev if he suddenly claims that he wants to get married to her without any rhyme or reason?😆 Did he ever explain why he wants to get married to her in the first place? Did he ever tell her how serious he was about her? Did he ever consciously acknowledge the intensity of his feelings? We know that Baldev himself has no idea how serious he was about this and his friends contributed to his delusion that Veera was in love with him but how is Veera supposed to understand Baldev & his intentions?😆 He did prove to her on a lot of occasions that there is more to him than a pampered rich brat and Veera did acknowledge that he is good at heart but then is that sufficient for her to understand the enigma that is Baldev? Is it her fault that he couldn't take no for an answer? Is it her fault that he kept pursuing her despite the fact that she showed no interest in him? Is it her fault that he just wouldn't give up even after she confessed tht she threw those lame challenges only to push him away? Even when Veera asked him what he thinks about love and marriage, Baldev gave a childish definition cementing Veera's belief that he is not serious about the whole thing..So can you blame Veera if she assumed this was just Baldev's childish zidd and he'l get over it in no time? Now the only place she went wrong was when she decided to play with his feelings..That was super insensitive on her part cos IMO, nothing can justify such insensitivity..But then what made her take such an extreme step? Was it because she is generally an insensitive soul who doesn't care or was it the fact that Baldev just wouldn't back off? Veera could have complained to Ranvi or Balwanth but i believe she din want to involve the elders and humiliate Baldev..So she came up with this utterly immature plan to push him away..
Coming to the whole revelation and Veera's consequent reaction, aren't we expecting way too much from Veera? From her point of view, Baldev was behind Ranvi getting beaten up..He looked guilty as hell and though i admit she was nasty to him that day, nothing has happened post that which could disprove her belief that Baldev was behind this attack..He bribed the villagers and made sure Veera was proved wrong in front of everyone..Dint he gloat when he got one up on Veera? If that were not enough, he was instrumental in getting Ranvi disqualified..Again, he rubbed it on her face that no one from her family can become a Sarpanch now..Even when Ratan was nominated, he tried his best to oppose the same..After all this, when he eventually loses, are we actually expecting someone like Veera to be the bigger person and understand his pain?😆 After all thats transpired between them? It would help if she doesn't taunt but thats not how Veera works..She is no Ranvi..Wouldn't Baldev have done the same had he won the election? I thought we all knew Baldev and Veera lack maturity and are sorta self-absorbed in a lot of ways..Veera cant think beyond her family and Baldev is sorta delusional in a lot of ways..Veera has no idea what this means to him..Just like she assumed Baldev wants to marry her for fun, she thinks he wanted to become the Sarpanch just for the sake of it😆 Aren't we expecting a lil too much from Veera? Not justifying her here but IMO both Veera & Baldev are right & wrong in their own way..If you think from Baldev's POV, Veera looks like this extremely cruel and insensitive person..From Veera's POV, Baldev is nothing but a spoilt brat who just cant take a rejection or defeat in life..Depends on your perspective & from which side you choose to look at things..In Ranvi and Gunjan's case, the fault was always on one side ..It was a one way traffic..But in this case, both are justified to a certain extent and both are flawed in more ways than one..
Anyways, sorry for the long rant..I have forever wanted to make this post so yeah, today i got it off my chest😆
P.S. For all those who think Veera is being super arrogant, its only a matter of time before she breaks down..Like someone mentioned, Gunjan or Bansuri or someone is so gonna use the illegitimate card against her at some point and thats gonna be enough to shatter her..That'l make me cringe though cos a marriage can be legitimate or illegitimate but kids can never be illegitimate IMO..
P.S.S. Opposing POVs are most welcome..I don mind if you disagree and choose to bash both Veera and Baldev😆
