So here is a fundamental question I have.
I am most bothered by this aspect that makers show.
Why is V shown to trust PP so much when literally he only knew her for 2 days, didn't even know her full name and over time he has only seen her deterioration over time. There's no strong padt relationship they share, neither any precdent of her being "good".
If V thought she was mature before, ghkkpm timeline is enough to establish that she is hateful, vengeful, immature, jealous, hypocritical, shallow and not in the least bit honest. And V has seen that evolution
So What exactly has she done to earn his trust?!
Just because he loved Sam, Sam was her husband and is now dead, and she fakes tears about how she did NOT give him a chance, is that enough reason to trust her?!
Isnt he an IPS officer who is supposed to be able to read people accurately?!
Also When a person you love like your parents or spouse or sibling repeatedly warn against a person and hint to keep that person at an arms length, why would you disregard that?
In this story, Ashwini, Ninad, Mohit, Devi abd obviously Sai have been pretty *fairly*consistent about raising doubts on PP. Repeatedly.
Yet V disregards it all. Its not just Sai. Its other people he should be close to- his sister Devi who despite her mental illness is shown to be very perceptive abd pure hearted like a child - they say that children always sense bad vibes better than adults. Similarly even Ashwini Ninad are not vociferous but have been warning him. Ninad since he softened his stance has been pretty neutral- he told V that pp sent ajinkya to bedroom. He showed V the mirror when V started creating walls post miscarriage. And mohit- he has no gain. If he is shown to *fairly* consistently support Sai there should be a reason. How does he not reflect on that.
How has he not seen and recognized pp's patten of tears, emotional manipulation and Sai bashing till now?!
I see absolutely no reason for him to fall for pp SO easily.
At least if PP had played her cards better by focusing on Sai more than him to convince for surrogacy, faked more concern for Sai , been supportive towards Sai instead of continuing to take digs at her at least then her intentions may seem more genuine.
Before Sam death, pp was being extremely crass coming to lockup to bash Sai.
Post Sam death, she treated Sai SO SO badly in the guise of "grief". Only Sai. Not V. Even though she had equal reason to bash him too. But she only picked Sai.
But literally within a few days of her bashing Sai, slapping her, giving her baddua- she came back , pretended to be sorry and immediately again infringed on their privacy, took a dig at the sleeping arrangements, made public Sai- V private matters, walked into their bedroom too many times for it to be casual on various pretexts, made uninvited comments on Sai- Vs plan for baby and shot down Sai's surrogate idea only to turn around and BEG V to make her surrogate against Sai's wish. Then she promises Sai non interference in their life only to go behind her back and prepare herself for the procedure. How is V not in the least circumspect about the timing of everything?! How can he NOT doubt her intentions?!
Like it's way too many coincidences. C'mon. A blind person can see the pattern..
Even now with the whole signing paper drama, even if we assume he thinks Sai is being "rude and overbearing, controlling" with pp, how does he have no doubt about why PP is making such a big fuss. Why is she SO insulted that she cant just sign and get it over with? Aisa kya pareshaan kiya hai?! If her intentions are pure then whats the big deal in showing her "maturity". Why not create a fuss AFTER signing rhe papers about how hurt she is by such a demand etc etc. How does V not see that PP is also equally prolonging things unecessarily.
At least if pp had created a fuss but signed the papers to show her "badappan" to give tasalli to Sai and prive her intentions and then name called Sai it'd have been more "believable".
Because any Normal person in that situation who felt "insulted" at such insinuation or aspersions cast on their "noble intentions" would have said- this is affecting my self resoect but I will sign and prove my point. But pp did NOT do that..
V never questioned why PP didn't reveal her reports of her own accord. Sai got her hands on it but otherwise PP didn't say anything.
Normally we are blinded towards the flaws of ourselves and those we are very close to- family and friends. and if we see the flaws, we will make excuses for them. But here V does all that for PP. He always sees Sais flaws and nakes excuses for PP.
So i really dont understand why people justify V.
Because I really dont see any solid reason for V to trust PP at all.
The lustful advances, the unecessary touchiness, the constant Sai bashing- these are all major alarm signs for any normal person. But V is far too clueless even by itv standards.
I really cant buy the excuse that his "male" gender comes in the way of his perceptiveness or he is blinded only by emotions towards Sam.
Because if she was truly grieving Sam she would not find her lifes purpose by being surrogate. She'd do what Sam wanted... Like help orphan kids etc.
And this is all leaving aside the legal aspects that he as an IPS has completely glossed over way too casually. He has allowed utterly unlawful behavior repeatedly.
But just based on emotions, why exactly is V so lenient towards PP.
She has repeatedly interfered in his relationship with Sai.
She is a big reason for the MUs between them in the past.
She has never done ANYthing selflessly for anyone in the family of her own accord. She helped with devi-harinee because he asked her to. But otherwise she has only created roadblocks and hurdles.
She has never had one kind word for his wife.
Yet V directs ALL his accusations towards Sai being insecure and immature or spiteful
Even though Sai has an established track record of standing by PP even when she hates her. Whether that be bringing her back home more than once, taking care of pp after Sam death and even now running after PP about her health. Anything she has said has been in good interest of baby and PP. And he probably knows that Sai took a Stand for pp even about her getting all decked up against bk saying she is a widow but does not mean she cant move on.
Sai has even done the right thing for Shruti whom she thought was her sautan, Jaggu who is her fathers murderer.
So how does V always unfailingly trust others over Sai?!
Sais instinct has been spot on about so many things. Yet V has zero trust in her. Why?!
And why do they show Sai so forgiving of this behavior. I really want to see her confront him about this aspect of not trusting her... What love if he cant trust her?! What love if he doesn't ever see her pov?!
Is this dumbass and problematic behavior of V ahown just because they need to force fit Virat pp cringe because of offscreen stuff or is there any real rationale.
The two things that affect me most are Vs problematic, toxic , idiotic, abusive behavior which is glorified on the show repeatedly, never called out and then reading justifications of it by the audience - that too women audience members!
Audience is not Sai. Atleast Sai is in love with V and so as a character is blind and forgiving to his flaws to a large extent because thats what you do in love.
But audience is supposed to be objective.
How does anyone with any IQ and EQ defend a character like V?!
Even pp has a defense - the fact that she is consistently evil so when she errs you know shes capable of crap and so I actually have realized I am not surprised or affected by her behavior on the show. Same with bk, omi also.
but with V- he is the ML but he is projected as a hero unlike a Vanraj Shah or other antagonist MLs whose character sketch clearly shows them as being problematic. V is constantly put on a pedestal vut he is utterly utterly unworthy of it!
This show is SO problematic on SO many levels.
It'd have been fine if they showed V as a flawed guy who faces consequences but they show him as mahaan with ZERO repercussions.
Highly frustrating.
If they had fleshed out V properly, logocally, made him sensitive, this show despite all this surrogacy drama would have been watchable and engaging.
