Silent reader peeping out from the darkness.
Coming to todays's episode. I think this was a great way to show that modern people like Viplav can show humanity and decency while religious people like the pandit who devote their lives to God and religion can be so inhumane and indecent. Speaking of religious people, what kind of devotee like DT holds a party with music and has three girls dance for him and his son. Society doesnt have a problem with that?
As for society, I know we shouldn't care about what people think but some of do while some of us don't and Viplav is one of them. With society, today you're the target, tomorrow someone else is. I do understand though that Dhani lives in a place where this cannot be easily overlooked as in a place like America. In Banaras something like this is considered a crime which must be punished.
I would like to ask everyone here if they were a boy and a girl looked dead and cold to you, would you not freak out and panic. Especially if it's someone you knew. I know my heart would pound like crazy and my palms would sweat continuously. Especially since I'm not a medical professional
Also, I don't know if anyone here has been in a jeep but I have a jeep and so I'm speaking from experience if you drive a jeep like Viplav's that's comepletely open then even if its hot and humid outside, air does hit you and if you're completely wet the way Dhani was then you'd feel cold as soon as that air hit you regardless of the heat and humidity and especially at night. So I would definitely rule out the the idea of using his jeep.
As for Viplav choosing the mandir then all I have to say is when people are in a problem and can't figure things out then they often seek refuge with God. They feel much better in a place of worship like a mandir.
I'm amazed that some would want Viplav to go into a room and change Dhani's clothes. I mean that pandit would film Viplav going in there with Dhani in a white sari and then both coming out with Dhani in a red saree, completely changed. That would obviously worsen the whole situation in peoples eyes about what happened behind closed doors. Atleast the people who will see the video will just see Viplav looking away while changing her clothes not a man and a woman coming out of locked room. And Dhani would be in even greater shock if she woke up in a locked room with just her and Viplav.
I'm surprised someone earlier said a dignified girl would rather die of cold than be undressed by a male. Again speaking from experience I was in a similar situation where there were no female doctors so I had no choice but to be shown to a male doctor who saw my body. I did not feel like I should kill myself nor did my parents who were with me. I also did not feel that I was no longer a dignified girl nor did my parents and we are muslims who don't show anything except for our face and hands. But I do feel for Dhani who was awake one second and woke up to feeling herself bare naked with a saree draped over herself and a man she barely knows claiming to have undressed and dressed her. How invaded and vulnerable she must feel.
Finally, it's amusing that all are lashing out on Viplav like Dhani even when we know what actually happened and what Viplav's intentions were. We are failing to see the bigger deed at hand. Viplav saved her life. He could have easily left her there to die like the pandit and many other Banarasis. I feel bad for Viplav who was so freaked out and scared only to be slapped by the very person who drove him crazy the whole night. I really hope Dhani sees the video and realizes that Viplav didnt even look at her. We should all be lashing out and thrasing that sick pandit and his sick co. They're the criminals not Viplav. Viplav made a rash mistake and mistakes can be forgiven but what that damn pandit did was a crime which cannot be forgiven.
I think people who are watching with their family should openly criticize the society who condemn a girl for having her clothes changed by a man when she was dying. We need to change the closed mindset that reputation is above life. Life is above all. Let's take Dulari for example, a mother of a 20 year old innocent girl. She will be shocked and miserable but she would eventually overcome it and help her daughter overcome it as well. However, had Viplav left Dhani to die what would Dulari have done. She would not have been able to overcome her daughter's death all her life. She would not be able to bring back her daughter from the dead.
No offense to anyone here. I'm merely sharing my thoughts after being encouraged by the healthy discussions this episode has created amongst us. I feel there will be many more episodes after this where we will get to discuss our views regarding the character's actions vs society norms. Today, everyone's thoughts on Viplav's, Dhani's, that sick pandit's and society's actions have been damn interesting.
Keep up the buzz!
Sorry for the long post.
