Curtailment and Pontifications - Page 7

Phew Annie, I am 8 pages too late and haven't read all the responses but if you are referring to the issues as they pertain to the show, (esp because on the forum we can primarily only talk about the show!!), if we leave aside the weak and at times absurd and barely plausible characterisation and inconsistent and sloppy story telling, there is a lot that is unknown to us.

We know that both Anjali and Arnav were orphaned at a vulnerable age and the way this happened seems to be shrouded in some mystery. Also it seems they endured severe hardship at the hands of relatives being thrown out on to the street when they were children. I also seem to think based on flash backs, that Anjali was going to be married before and that is in some way related to their parents demise. It is likely that this bro and sis became so entwined and enmeshed as a result, to such an extent that they are struggling to disentangle now . Arnav, doesnt seem to have cared for anyone apart from his di until now.

As far as love (I assume you mean romantic love) is concerned, Arnav has been immensely attracted to Khushi yes but he is only just falling in love and he is caught between the devil and the deep blue sea!! He is yet to make his choice really, at least that is what I feel. People do indeed have this dilemma in real life too and I have no answer really, I dont think there is a right answer to this question. seen people make either choice, duty or love, some are happy, some are not. So I dont know.😃

And of course everything is blown out of proportion in reel life, poetic licence or should I say dramatic license!! Inspite of that, your question is most interesting and pertinent, rather more than our usual preoccupation with Barun's long and greasy hair or his(lack of) muscles!!😃

Meri beti the voice of sanity and reason! True what you say in your summary Alot of unanswered questions therefore reasons for brotherly need to protect whether out of love or duty is all still an unknown quantity.

Are you serious when did we discuss barun's long and greasy hair? Or did we? We are that fickle? Never!!😆😆😆

Fickle??? Never !!!! Never !!! Barun's hair is a most serious issue!! But we do need to have fun sometimes with mundane matters like the discussion you have started. 😆

My thoughts are racing, but I need to attend to chores, hence will come back to pontificate later, I am sure this debate will continue for some time. I have read some of the brilliant responses and desperate to read all of them.😊

Annie I have so much to say about this topic and so lil time ...today of all days duty calls...so will be back to pontificate some more...

🤣 So true! I often think Arnav was meant to be written as a grouch, meany, selfish, all these negative traits where the audience was meant to dislike or disapprove of him whilst Khushi is meant to be the polar opposite and everyone would feel for her and be rooting for her. But a lot of people find it easier to relate to Arnav than Khushi, because at least Arnav has the balls to make things happen...

Doormat spouses annoy me. I'm so glad Khushi has enough spunk to stand up for herself when she has to.

great question posed n many people will have different takes on it. I believe, despite luv always being projected as superior in the end in real life many people r restricted with their duties. At present in iss pyar i wudnt refer 2 arnavs overprotectiveness of anjali as far fetched 4 three main reasons, firstly anjali has additional vulnerabiliy coz of her polio. Secondly coz of her very naive n gullible character n lastly coz they have both been orphans since a long time. Therefore i think arnavs concern is understandable.

Obviously in the show it is exaggerated to the very extent that after you finish watching the episode you actually feel you were in another far of world and its more shocking when you see people actually falling for it and taking it be real. In reality i think, its about finding the right balance between love and duty? Knowing just where the boundaries should not be crossed as both are important to you; Love and Duty. And its also about the partner understanding and their few steps towards understanding you also. Like a combined effort!

true 2 a certain extent but if she has the power 2 tug at his heart strings than love is inevitably also a part of the equation n questions of oppression shud b eliminated. Also i meant by gullible that she is easily decieved, her husband who she literally worships has been cheating on her 4 the past year n she doesnt have a clue?

oh wow how did I miss this. Came in thinking that pls god let this not be one of those "eeks I touched the ground sanaya walked in or yippee I touched her duppatta" (No offense to the actor or the fans)

Hey barun227

Arnav's consern for anjaIi is understandabIe , but compromising his duties towards his wife , or fuIIfiIIng his duties towards his wife cos anjaIi wants him to is not , i think it is a very wrong wayof projecting a reIationship

Same with shyam , she is in a way cIue Iess because arnav is not aIIowing her to Iook beyond what he want her to see, that is a happy marriage , when in my opinion is wrong as the choice of whether she want to be married to shyam shouId be entireIy her's

Khushi is aIso doing the same mistake to anjaIi
