Completely agree, Minnie. No one is forcing anyone to love a character based solely on their good qualities. Quite the opposite. If I don't like someone, it does not mean that I must interpret all their actions as "evil" in order to defend my opinion about him or her. As long as I have reasons for not liking them and they remain valid, I have nothing to fear. My point is that sometimes we do not accept our own biases (which we are all entitled to) -- and instead cloak them as rightful indignation. And maybe sometimes we just don't have enough faith and conviction in our own point of view. Why must I be so insecure about my opinion that I feel compelled to interpret an act solely in such a way that it will validate my opinion - regardless of the way I truly feel about the act by itself.

It is ironic, but the whole point was that this character was too good to be acceptable (an argument that had some merit). So if in order to justify my dislike I explain how his actions are wrong, then I am in a way also implying that if he did not do wrong things then I would not hate him. In other words I am myself proving that for me to like someone they cannot be wrong. Yet my initial criticism was he is "too good to be true." I have now fallen into my own trap.

Isn't it just better to admit that I don't like a particular character for the reasons which I truly don't, rather than unnecessarily burden myself with the task of somehow finding explanations of every single behavior of his or her that will make those actions seem unacceptable? And then have the added burden of now either explaining away those same behaviors in other characters that I am sympathetic toward, or to defend my continued liking of such characters, without losing credibility? Why don't we just have some faith in our opinions instead?

My message was in no way meant as a personal attack against Minnie, nor did she misinterpret it as such. Thanks Ides and Minnie 😊
No fictional character will compell me to personally attack anyone, least of all someone I care about.

seems there is a problem.

Waise Jassi , sar se lakar paeir tak ek problem hai.

Yes Chaya,I did not take it personally.But yes I des,I do agree that with Chayya that sometimes generalised behaviour statements about ppl are taken as personal attacks where as using the justifications as a mindset is not and that can look a bit harsh and unfair.........

Alle,here I'll say the same thing again.......... Jassi was instantly accused of being nosy and THERE WAS an outcry of her reading the letter by everyone, her supporter or not.In case of Purab,he was always touted as almost perfect,an angel and hence any misdeamour no matter how small made him a target of redicule ........it was held by everyone of his supporter that he could do no wrong and that made a cynic out of anyone who didn't support him whereas it's been already established that Jassi was never perfect and never behaved in set standards of behaviour and made huge goof ups in life like any other normal girl without actually being evil,in fact just the opposite so her misdeamours,however awful,look to have a natural progression........

Actually Minnie every one of his supporters did not hold the opinion that he could do no wrong; they pleaded to allow him some flaws since no one is infallible. I did get the impression that the makers, though, were infact trying to portray him as Mr Perfect (and they went way overboard.) While in real life I'm sure such goodness is appreciable, however in fiction that kind of character can become too predictable and after a while just has no entertainment value. And often run the risk of being downright annoying if continued. Just like his passive subservience to Jassi's whims did (t&d's attempts to show just how "good" he is to the ones he cares about) 🤢

Alle,I agree 100% with you on that one............😊

U r right there is possible way a guy like purab could ever exist in real life😕

lagtha hain....hume peer sayad sahib ki zaroorat hai...aur Jassi ko bhi...aur Armaan ko bhi...aur Purab ko bhi...aur Ekta ko bhi...aur sab se bari zaroorat hain T&D ko😕

agree 100% jprasad......T&D should realise that by making the charcaters fickle and inconsistent, they are weakening their own storyline.......
