ASR only had one choice? Really? - Page 12

woo hoo...what an awesome discussion esp between Misclog and Elysia.

forgive me if I sound juevenile - this serial has done this to me for sure.. I find myself with all the symptoms of IPKKND deficiency syndrome (to borrow a phrase from another brilliant writer on the IF) and doing things like writing panting phan gurl comments on some celebrity page (cringe) to get them up on rankings and show my gratitude for giving me such a good time

once again, thanks to both of you - its so lovely to engage and read such interesting discussions (ahem, as opposed to some of the really crappy stuff also here) 👏

I have to first 👏👏👏👏 for the way you pen your thoughts. All though they are diametrically opposite to mine, I enjoy reading them more than penning down my own thoughts. That is almost weird right? 😊

Naw, thank you, hun 😳 It's not weird. In fact, I feel the same when I read other people's posts, including yours. I feel like I can't be precise enough with what I'm thinking. LOL.

But I started this post only because, I was a bit disappointed reading all those posts where they claimed Garima to be Mother Theresa and ASR to be Mahatma for doing what they did. I love ASR character with all his faults and I also love when he is doing wrong things.

But at the same time, I am going to call a spade a spade and say what ASR is doing is wrong. It is not because I don't understand his sorrow or pain. I do. Out of his emotions he is taking steps which are not correct. But to him they are correct. I understand that.

I couldn't stop myself from posting when people are saying ASR did not have choice to do what he did and almost in the same breath say he is Mahaan for giving Kushi a choice of choosing her life over her sister's life. To me that kind of fanatism is what made me start this thread.

I understand what you mean. It's funny, though. Because as much as you've been finding posts that "glorify" Arnav's mistakes, I've been finding posts that condemn him - going as far as to call him a rapist or someone who would put Khushi through domestic violence. It is something that has bothered me a lot and I'm currently writing a post on that. The fact that people can exaggerate to that extent shocks me. Arnav is flawed, but he's not a rapist and he wouldn't slap Khushi around.

I guess we've both been frustrated with the messy forum lately. It's either one extreme or another. There's no middle ground.

At the same time I sympathize with the fate of Kushi much more than I sympathies with the fate of ASR. Unfortunately, I only sympathize with Anjali, when she has scenes with her brother. All other times, especially in her scenes with Shyam, I cringe at her and cannot identify with her .

Hope you understand what I am trying to say. I wish I could explain, the way you have explained to me.

I understand completely, hun. And you're right to sympathize with her fate. The following events will be really hard on her. I'm just hoping that the writers don't mess up. I need to see the Khushi who was ready to confront the dulha on Payal's first wedding. The power and strength in that character better shine through.

I have seen those posts of where they are saying those things about ASR. Those views are not even worth commenting on. I do not think the IPKKND team, including the PH, CVs, LM, actors would ever present such a track where the male lead would do those things.

Looking forward to your post. Thanks a lot for the dialogue.
