Just a flitting thought...don't you think that what Jai is doing is a hundred times worse than what Pia and Pushkar did to him?
All said and done, we would agree that Pia walking out on Jai and Pushkar back-stabbing him was not pre-planned or meditated, but more of a spur of the moment reaction, for which they regretted also! Agreed that Pia and Pushkar are very selfish and self-centred when it comes to their happiness, but who is not? Is Jai not selfish when it comes to his happiness, I personally feel that Jai is the most selfish and self-possessed when it comes to the question of emotions and feelings....he gives only when he knows that he will get something in return! Then what right does he have to cry foul over Pia and Pushkar's actions....simply because they made a public fool out of him or because his heart was really broken? Jai seriously needs to prioritize his thoughts....
And then Pia and Pushkar are so young and immature and whatever they did, was ultimately because they were so madly in love....as Bani puts it so beautifully that "Pia nein galti nahin ki, usne pyaar kiya hai..."
But do you think what Jai is doing is justified? He is deliberately and systematically breaking Bani's heart....I don't agree to the notion that he has no clue of what is going on in Bani's mind.
And the whole irony of the situation is that Jai himself is falling in love with Bani and that feeling of attraction coupled with disgust over his emotions is driving him to do things that are actually antithetical to his basic character! If Jai was not in love with Bani, he would just ignore her or be completley indifferent towards her....remember the old saying, "We always hurt those, whom we love the most..."
The reason why he is playing with Bani's emotions are because he knows that she likes him, if not loves him and she has begun to care for him very deeply!
The easiest target are always the one who are nearest to your heart, someone whom you know would not be able to retaliate, simply because they care for you too much....and Jai knows by now that Bani cares a hell lot for him!
What right does Jai have to cry wolf over Pia and Pushkar's actions, when he himself is being a beast to Bani? Agreed, that he is under a lot of pressure coupled with misunderstandings and bitterness towards Bani, but does that still blind his vision from seeing Bani's affection and caring towards him? How can Jai not see that Bani is always there for him when he needs her, without him even asking for her...she is there to give him her shoudler to cry on, bear the brunt of his frustration, become the target of his unnecessary anger and hatred.....Jai cannot be blind to all this...unless he has decided to close his eyes to her!
I always supported Jai's actions against Pia, Pushkar and even Bani till he was justified in them...but now he is being plain nasty! He has completely side-stepped the original sinners and is now taking his fury on someone who is totally helpless against him....and not just physically helpless, but emotionally also!
Sad to say so, but I think that Jai is worse than Pia and Pushkar when it comes to emotions....what they did was still based on the love they had for one another, but what Jai is doing has its base on nothing except hatred!
Jai, you better buck up your act! Remember.....God gives us a chance to love just a couple of times in life...and you seem to have run over all your chances....don't let this one slip out of your hands!
So, my questions to you are;
Do you still think that Jai's actions are still justified as he has gone through a very rough emotional patch and he needs to vent it out on the first available person (Bani) till he comes back to normal?
Bani is investing too much of herself in Jai, much more than she did for Pushkar and for her sisters also! Do you think that she is in for a massive heart-break from which she might just never recover or will fate intervene and Jai will realize what is about to lose at the nick of the moment?
Do you think that whatever Jai is doing to Bani is a deliberate, well thought off, manipulated game of revenge and not an impulsive reaction on his part?
Do you think that Jai might just take the Shirt back from Tony and wear it one fine day to surprise Bani? (Wishful thinking....)
Is Jai as hurt when he hurts Bani, or does he really pleasure up with the thought of seeing Bani in tears and with a dejected heart?
Do you think that Jai will go through a complete emotional breakdown the day he comes to know how unfair he has been to Bani? Or will he just be his normal self and apologize to her infront of everyone and tell her to forgive and forget?
Do you think that Bani will ever be able to forget the hurt that Jai is making her go through? Do you think that Bani will forgive Jai for everthing but still opt to move out of his life when Mausi has gone and wait for Jai to win her heart back from scratch?
Would be awaiting your answers...
