Hi Friends,šŸ¤—
The discussion of this week is AviTa relationship.šŸ‘šŸ¼
I know it's our fave topic so expect a lot of participation from you all.šŸ˜‰šŸ˜†šŸ˜†
Lets discuss: How close is their relationship to reality? ā¤ļø
Arpita is quiet and biddable, is this possible in real life? When you marry for love, isn't the relationship supposed to be about love and equality? How about the way they address each other with 'ji'..is that necessary?
So come on friends, let's all discuss how close to real life their relationship is.
I hope I haven't narrowed the discussion to only a few people. I would love it if everyone participated, even if you talk about love outside marriage, a hypothetical situation or the life of someone you know...the more the merrier.šŸ˜†šŸ˜†
(if you like don't forget to press the button😊)

Hi Dreamy,
A very good topic to start with the DOTW
😊

According to me, firstly these days nobody gets married to a gangster as everybody is aware that they are being haunted either by police or by their enemies. Moreover all gangsters are not really good from their heart.😲

Secondly, Arpita's nature seems like fantasy at times. She knew what she was getting into but now at certain places she behaved as though she didn't knew him nature of work and is gambling over it.
šŸ˜•

True love begins when nothing is looked for in return."Antoine De Saint-Exupery šŸ‘šŸ¼ā¤ļø

Arpita started loving Avdesh asking nothing for return.
ā˜ŗļø Avdesh didn't even know that a girl somewhere in Lallanpur has created a Shrine for him in her heart and in her life.

This Part of their relationship is so true. There are so many who love truly and dearly but do not say it out or due to circumstances they always remain silent lovers.šŸ˜



The kind of love emotion and feelings for each other that they project on the screen seems real at times like Avdesh says your tears hurt me or helping in cleaning the wounds..Their relationship is not very close to reality but still sometimes feels very real...

This is a part of my thought over this topic I will be back with my thoughts and try to put more light on it.šŸ¤”

ok let me see what i can answer u here.

as far as i can see shwetha has echoed my words in her post.

since this is just a fiction here and not reality and we dont know what happens next in the show.

so for the sake of talks i wud assume this relation is real.

no not btwn tanvi and ashish

its abt avdesh and arpita..

as shwetha said arpita world was full of fantasy and knowing how her father and brothers r she got attracted to or got infatuated with a macho man who had great respect for woman. she didnt see beyond that reality of his life.

but with times she has grown to love him more and more for the person he is and as his wife she wants best for him

and calling each other ji they r respecting each other and no harm in doing that and i have seen in most families regardless of age and all the respect is given to the person.

for arpita avdesh is her life. come what may she wud fight all odds to keep that love alive.

same goes for avdesh though at present he doesnt know nor can express it as well as he should..

some reality is there

gosh i dont know what i said made sense or not

but this is what i feel

This show in my honest opinion, is a realm of pure, un-adulterated fantasy.

Firstly, from the very maiden episode, it has been essaying a Romeo-Julietish vibe. Love at first sight....dreaming of an individual based on some pre-conceived notions from newspaper Articles, is nowhere close to anything called "Reality". Since the concept of "LAFS" is so passe, a show based on this would be so beyond any logical fathoming. In real life, you dont fall in love with people like that, you fall in Lust.

Arpita had a crush on Avdhesh, she is an 18-year old who mistook it to be love.

Secondly, the character Arpita is said to be no older than 18, but she hardly looks it. Even if we set the physical attributes aside owing to the actress who is playing her, it remains a fact that Arpita's actions, her conversations, maturity etc. are nowhere close to being an 18-year old's.

Besides the two above points about Arpita, the lead character of Avdesh is also full of contradictions. He is said to be a 22 year old...Really? Does he look that? And to be perfectly honest, a gunda like him is not expected to be a Robin-hood really. In reality, he would just have kidnapped Arpita, ravished her and left her on the road-side. Or would have kept her as a mistress. The latter is what even a decent Gunda would do, at the most.
Moreover, Avdhesh is said to be a man who swears by the barrel of his gun, and it is highly unlikely that someone of his mental space would ever be ready for something like Marriage itself.

This show is a modern-day Romeo-Juliet or a modern-day Laili and Majnun, so i dont expect any reality to interfere with this concept.
Hope i made sense. Lovely debate, nice to have taken a snook. Good day and TC. 😊

Hey Dreamy, CB, Shwetha, Prash😊,
How are you guys doing? Great topic Dreamy........I am sure people will have loads to say............as for my thoughts......I think we have to accept that this is a fictional show, (though set amongst some very realistic backdrop and inspired by a real life character) so there are bound to be creative licenses taken by the CVs to develop the story. Creative license that by its very definition, moves the story line/plot away from reality.
To me the show, at least initially, had a fairy-tale quality to it..........or at least, a very old-world charm..........I mean, in this day and age, who has a love-marriage based on just eloquent eye-locks and little else? We don't need to be reminded that Avita got married without exchanging even a word face to face ( I am discounting Arpita's letter here). So pre-marriage, Avita was all fantasy for me...........post-marriage is another story. I would imagine most if not all, wives of gangsters and dons face the very same dilemnas that are faced by Arpita ......they too pray for the safety of their husbands and live forever under the terror of an assassin/police bullet that could spell the end of their married life.
To your specific points, of Arpita being biddable and addressing Avi with "ji", I think it is quite realistic. You have to understand the milieu, the particular social norms of the setting that the characters belong to. Regardless of the kind of marriage, love or arranged, a young bride, in much of present day rural India, is a pretty docile creature. That is not to say she doesn't always get what she wants, just that she is expected to follow instructions, at least in the initial period of settling in...say a year or so. By that yardstick, Arpita has been nothing less than revolutionary.........in the way she has demanded Avi to change course and shed his bad boy ways. In the West, when a couple gets married, the bride and groom set up their nest independent of the extended family and the girl holds sway in the house. Everything is done according to her wishes, the understanding being that this is "her house".......not so in this case.......Arpita has married "into" the Thakur family and haveli....she is the newcomer and she has to mould herself according to the norms and rules of the family.
Hers being a love marriage, her husband will support her and guide her through this process of settling in, but that does not change the fact that she has to settle in, if you know what I mean. As far as "ji" is concerned, I see nothing unrealistic in it. Too often we think that if a relationship is based on equality and love, then there is no place in it for formality/respect.I can say with personal experience that though HD and I do not use "ji" in addressing each other, both of us use "aap"........and not for any lack of love😳😊...........just that our backgrounds dictate our choices. Oh gosh, this I guess is TMI😳
I hope I was able to make sense. OK girls, bring it on!!!
Thanks again Dreamy for a nice topic.

Hey Krystal,
Agree with you on your point about maturity level of Arpita....but you do have to consider the fact that she has not really had the love-filled,protected upbringing that most 18 year olds have.......she has been exposed to real nastiness in her house from quite early on, thanks to her monster Dad. Adversity lends a huge helping hand on the road to maturity.
Typical gunda behaviour would have been to ravish and reject, but in this case, we know that a) Avi respects women and has been pretty much a virgin in all senses of the word till he met Arpi b) He has fallen in love with her.
Thanks and take care
