Due to some personal reasons, I wasn't online for long yesterday, as my focus and concentration wasn't what it normally is, so I didn't reply to many of the posts discussing Kripa's actions......and since there are too many to reply to, and I just had to say something, I'm doing so......albeit a day late.
Before I carry on, this is just my opinion. I have never been one to keep silent about my thoughts, as you all know by now, and I fully expect to be bombarded from all ends once you guys read this post. This is in no deliberate way meant to hurt or offend anyone, because I firmly believe that this is a free and open forum and I hope that my opinions are not taken in the wrong way.
As a woman, as a human being there is no way I can condone, understand or find justification in Kripa's act for calling Angad so that he can hear all the sordid details, while Kripa sleeps with Prithvi (and like I said on Tuesday, there is no way I can breing myself to call it making love, or consummation.....because that was done with Angad already).
A person's body is their temple and to give your body to someone you don't love, is a form defiling yourself.......this might sound harsh, but I feel that the physical act of love between two people is a sacred act. Just like marriage, this physical aspect of a relationship is sanctified.
I was disgusted and upset with Angad, when he trivialized his and Kripa's night together as a fling, basically reducing it to a one-nighter, even though he was vulnerable, and Kripa caught him at a weak point, just like I felt angry with Kripa for bringing up the death of their child once again, as a weapon against him.......both actions were low blows......they both hurt each other and themselves......I get that.
I've read a lot of views, where people said that Angad always hurts Kripa, Angad humiliated her, he didn't accept his child as his own,......yes, he did do all those things but he believed that she had betrayed him. It was his fault that he never had faith and trust in their love, but he repented to the point of destroying himself and his family, he got shot trying to save Kripa's life, and he has shed plenty tears of blood and anguish at his actions when he found out the truth.
But if you bring up all Angad's actions, one has to look at Kripa's as well.
Kripa thought that Angad and Josh were plotting against her to prevent her from being a star, from becoming successful, she thought Josh was behind the attempts on Angad's life, thus causing the rift in Angad and Josh's friendship, she believed that Angad betrayed her, just like he had earlier believed she betrayed him….all due to people conspiring against them......her testimony, though not completely responsible, did play a part in sending Angad to jail for a murder that he didn't commit......the murder of his best friend, whom he doubted, and almost never had the chance to mend fences with......and till now, Kripa still believes he's guilty, and would like to see him behind bars.
If we are to cast stones at one, we cannot be so neglectful as not to do the same for the other, because both of them have erred in many different ways. But this is not a blame game, because they are both guilty of low and underhanded actions.......hmmm.....I seem to have strayed from my original reason for this post.
Getting back.......
The day we read that Kripa was going to sleep with Prithvi, we were outraged and disgusted and we wanted Angad to open up the gates of hell into Kripa and Prithvi's lives and to dole out the harshest punishments for her sin, and the next day we had people saying she was justified in her actions, because of what Angad has made her.
Sure, Kripa is a mere shell of the innocent, simple girl from Nainital. She has had to grow up fast, as her dreams were shattered. She has had to learn the hard way that all people are not what they seem. She has had to learn the hard way what betrayal and hatred is, betrayal and hatred from both the people you know and trust, and from strangers.
Angad, despite being a jaded man, was in many ways innocent as well. Inside he was a lost boy yearning for acceptance and love.
If Angad had made Kripa into the mere shell that she is today, well, then, she has made him into the bitter and hard man that he is today.
Were Kripa to sleep with Prithvi because she was trying to save her marriage, because she loved him, then she would be doing the right thing......but herein lays the problem, she doesn't love him.....she loves Angad, and she's doing this just to prove to Angad that he will not get the better of her......that she doesn't love him any more.....and yes, Angad cutting words might have driven her in Prithvi's direction, but to the extent that she's going????........and that makes them both world-class idiots.
But for Kripa to stoop so low as to phone him so that he can hear the entire thing......I find this to be the lowest of lows. When I read that she was going to sleep with Prithvi, I lost some of my respect for her, but this is just the final straw......should she really go ahead and call Angad while she's sleeping with Prithvi just so that he can hear all the sordid details, well than all my respect for her is gone.
I am disgusted at the turn of events, and I can't say that I want Angad to dole out revenge the one minute and then try and find justification in her actions the next.
To say a persons actions are justified, even if you don't condone it 100%, you have to put yourself in that persons shoes, you have to walk a mile in their lives, and think of whether you would do the same thing, were you in that persons place......well, I've tried to imagine myself in Kripa's situation, and I can say this, I don't think I can ever see myself doing something like firstly sleeping with someone I don't love, and that just to prove a point to the one I do love, and secondly to call the other person so that he can hear the act in all it's entirety.....so no, I cannot find any form of justification for what Kripa is about to do.
Phew!!!! This has turned out to be longer then I expected. But I just had to get it all out.
Before I end, know that you guys are my friends and family. I love you all.
I want to once again say that if I did in someway hurt or offend anyone, I do sincerely apologize, as it was truly not a deliberate attempt to do so. It's just something that I felt strongly about.
O.k., so now I've got my protective gear on and I'm ready..........go ahead and blast me.
Luv
Hafsa
