I really needed to get this off my chest....
So someone please tell me what exactly was Arjun's revenge plan?
***************************************************
Arjun's revenge track is the most ill-conceived track I have ever come across. I may not watch many Hindi shows but I am certainly well read.
His revenge was to sleep with Annie? That's it? What does that mean? I thought he was out to seek revenge and not to add another notch to his bedpost. The strata of society that Khuranas belong to I don't think pre-marital sex is such a boo boo. Forget strata of society- I think this is a reality of the times we live in- and is very common in the larger cities of India across all segments of people. (Do google the India today sex survey- very insightful?) So what really is the point here?
Now everyone seems to think that Annie may get pregnant. Assuming that despite being so worldly wise (she did help Geet set up the seduction scene and has been playing all kinds of games with Arjun) she did not insist on using precaution while indulging in the act, I will try and explore that in greater detail the pregnancy track. But before that I need to get something off my chest- Getting pregnant is not a piece of cake...Unless Arjun has been diligently tracking Annie's monthly cycle- the probability of her getting pregnant is only 15-17%. Someone claiming to destroy MSK shouldn't be working with those kinds of odds...even I (who was never good at probability) know that! The biggest slap would be if she does not get pregnant.
So going with the majority audience here...Lets assume Super villain Arjun succeeds in impregnating Annie...what are the possible scenarios
1) Izzat pe dhabba: Incase his sister forgot to update him there are far bigger skeletons in the family closet than an unwed sister/daughter. This would be ridiculous. If Dadi can accept a pregnant DIL she can definitely accept a pregnant daughter. Mission Arjun- Failed!
2) They are powerful enough to suppress/control such rumors. The real scandals in India hardly ever get written about. Mission Arjun- Failed!
3) Now someone in Annie's position may choose to either Abort the baby or give birth to the baby
3 a) If she chooses to abort the baby- then no rumors, no khandaan ki izzat pe kalank. Mission Arjun- failed!3 b) If she chooses to keep the baby-
- then they always have the option of her going away and giving birth to her baby in a place away from the media glare. Given her age, Dadi and Maan may convince her to give up the baby for adoption. If not adoption and she chooses to raise the baby on her own- Her family has enough resources at their disposal to make life as comfortable for Annie and her child and provide all the emotional care and support that is needed. Mission Arjun: Failed!- If it were left to me...Annie would file a paternity suit against Arjun and take him to the cleaners. Guess who is going to lose their izzat and their shirt? Mission Arjun: Failed!
4) Now let's assume that Arjun's main objective was to emotionally traumatize Annie- to get back at MSK..even there I think- She is only 18- People do get over heart breaks...It may take time but people do move on. Hasn't Maan replaced all of Geet's ugly memories with beautiful ones. Who is to say Annie will not find her own Prince sooner or later? He may cause a momentary blip- but in bigger scheme of things I don't think even this would lead anywhere. Mission Arjun: Partial success (May be)!
