See, she had forgiven him and I told you what I think forgivness is. And to forgive is divine. How can you say by forgiving some one, person's own value is lost. I had written before as well, Maan's anger is justified. but his word are not. But then why he did not listen to her when she was telling him about what Dev has done. Why did he not confront it? Why he went to sleep at that time. She forgave him in an emotional moment where she was saying she does not know why God punished her by making her loose the baby. . May be she felt pain of punishment and decided to let go Dev of his guilt. Even valmiki was forgiven for most horrified act of killing many ppl. So why can dev not be forgiven. Every crime can be forgiven if repentencess is true.
What you think sure is not what all think right! Like see i don't think of it as you do nor you as I ... as i said to each their own.
exactly ever crime can be forgiven but not sin,
what Dev did is not a mere crime but sin & since you have brought in both Bible & Ramayan by mentioning Rishi Valmiki i could like to add robbing a innocent girl of her virginity is a Sin not crime coz it not just kills her trust but marks her soul & brings on her a daily death....were as killing people is crime since here man dies once not daily.
God who is spring of forgiveness He too has built a place as Hell as a place for sinners. Why did God do that if giving forgiveness is so easily!
yes repentence earns you forgiveness but how can a woman ever forget the man who raped her, can she forget as a woman i cannot if i were her. forgive him sure she can as she has a big heart but welcome him as family no woman can.
Maan had heard her forgive Dev not that day but the day before & every single frame after that in none of them he questioned her self respect ...
when did he do that..
only when he saw her allow Dev to celebrate holi with her, to touch her with those same hands that had once stripped her of her innocence instead of cringing she applied tilak to him which again according to Hindu religion is mark of respect shown.
Did Dev deserve this respect from her! Its this acceptance & showing respect to Dev that makes Maan question her self respect ... not her forgiving Dev
