As Bluegrass brought up the topic of male vs female desire (and IPK as an example)ā¦adding my two cents here.
That show did a good enough job of specifically showcasing female desire (and in general, desire/lust as a normal, healthy thing that coexists with love). Given that character (Khushi) and audience are conservative, it depicts it in a roundabout way than we usually see male desire (gazes, touches, etc). With her we had dhak-dhak / acidity / Rabba-vesā¦
Imlie experienced a brief period of attraction with Aditya (what she calls emotion sickness and has equated it to love? (She seems to be reevaluating now)) but that has died down much priorā¦.and to the point that she definitely loved her husband / marriage relationship but was NOT actively āin loveā with the man concerned.
I hope whatever awareness she now feels with Aryan doesnāt spook her or guilt trip her (especially coz her ex believes sheās having an affair with Aru and she knows the thin ice she treads on with Ts n Cs). The silent understanding in Aruās eyesā¦and him not letting her linger / overthink these fleeting moments is lovely (for now). I hope this time around she experiences geniune love for the man first-n-foremost (not something that sheās forced to acceptā¦and uphold and be loyal towards)
Ok, that was random musingsā¦a bit all over the place.
