Dear FSL(and fellow forum members),
Hope you had a good night's rest. 😊
There is not a single word you have said in your post that I disagree with. But we do need to remind ourselves again and again and again that these characters are the clumsy and careless creation of a group of people, not even a single person. It is crystal clear to those who can see that they haven't a clue about what to do with this story. It is likely they don't even have a story but are making things up as they go along.
So please don't get worked up at the characters, what is the point. Having said that, it is entirely justified getting worked up about misrepresenting and glorifying domestic abuse and I think we definitely should protest. That message needs to go across to the makers of the show. I for my part have been posting against their portrayal of domestic abuse on the Star Plus website on an almost daily basis, but I don't think anyone from the channel or the show reads the comments, they probably just disappear into the ether. I even sent them an email but haven't heard back (surprise, surprise). If we feel so strongly about something we should do something about it, like submitting a petition. After all we have managed to come a long way from things like 'Sati' and child marriage.
As far as 'drooling' (of which I too am guilty to a certain extent) is concerned, again we are all human beings (at different levels of physical and intellectual maturity😊), Again I am sure the drooling is over the actors, but the down side to that is if someone is good looking, people are likely to interpret their actions in a favourable light and that is certainly worrying. In the case of this show it is not only the incredible handsomeness of the actor but the whole atmosphere, the sound effects and music and lighting that are meant to titillate the senses and if we do succumb to that, may be some more than others, it only shows that we are human.
If the CVs stop this unnecessary cruelty (by the way what does CV stand for?) and change Khushi's sleeping arrangements, and bring her back into the room, I am willing to be pacified. Even if she is made to sleep in a different room or even on the chaise, that is fine, although theoretically if that arrangement continues it should be classed as emotional abuse. I do hope they see the light of the day at least in this respect, I certainly don't have any hopes or expectations for anything sensible from them.
To bring the forum temperature down I would recommend watching 'The Artist'. My only advice don't buy any popcorn or nachos or any thing becoz the whole theatre will echo with your chomping.😊
