Yes, I have stopped watching the show (almost🤣)
Don't blame me. Blame my insta😆
This is not Virat v/s Sai. I'm not supporting Virat. He has made hineous mistakes. But I rarely have expectations from male leads-the reason why I seldom watch TV shows😆
- A hero makes mistakes and these are romanticized.
- A heroine is always right. Even if she is wrong, her mistakes are either whitewashed or hidden.
Ghum has done one thing correctly. Virat's mistakes are not romanticized like in other shows where the hero gets the heroine jailed and they play romantic music in the background🤣
But in the department of the heroine, even Ghum makers failed.
Ok so here is what I want to say:
Sai wants to go to Pulkit's house. Nobody knows why. She doesn't tell them anything. She acts stubborn.(Mistake)
Virat grabs her wrist and holds it tightly. He denies her food. (Bigger Mistake)
Sai goes behind Virat's back and lies to him, gets Devyani married. (Mistake)
Virat throws her out of the house.(Bigger Mistake)
Sai hurts Virat, acts insensitive, blames him for two timing, gets his transfer cancelled. (Mistake)
Virat acts insensitive, hurts her with words, and ultimately locks her up in the room. (I'm not sure which mistake was bigger in this case)
In Ajinkya case, Sai did nothing there, as far as I can remember. Virat was to blame.
But I'm not playing the blame game here. All I'm seeing is a pattern. Sai makes a mistake. Virat makes a bigger Mistake. Sai's mistake is covered beneath all the layers.
Why CVs? Your ML and FL both are flawed. Then why do you highlight Virat's mistakes and Sai's mistakes get hidden under his mistakes? You even go to the lengths of showing her blamed falsely, for things she didn't do. You made her apologise for no mistake of hers. Using reverse psychology, you make viewers sympathise with her. But you don't show her being blamed for things she did do. When she can apologise for the mistake she didn't do, why can't she apologise for what she did do? She had apologised for saree incident but you played it to the level where ultimately she got sympathy by making everyone target her again and again.
When Virat makes a mistake, it's not only highlighted, he regrets and apologises. Why can't you show Sai doing the same? It won't make her a lesser human being. It will make her a bigger human being. All the female leads need not be perfect. Imperfection has its own beauty. Then why try and hide her mistakes? Why can't she act like a normal human being? Who makes mistakes and apologises too.
Instead of showing this pattern, let her also grow as a human being. I have seen it, forever. A heroine has to be perfect. Even if she makes a mistake, it has to be hidden instead of letting her accept, apologise and grow. A heroine can also be a human being. She doesn't have to be a superwoman. All her flaws need not be hidden.
So what if she won't look perfect?
So what if her mistakes are not whitewashed/covered.
So what if she's not perfect yet?
So what if she grows as a human being?
Why all the heroines have to be either too sanskari that they are ready to put their heads under others' feet or they have to be too arrogant to admit their mistakes and be better. Why???? Why do you have to show a heroine as the only victim in the world?
