"Nothing is easier than to denounce the evildoer; nothing is more difficult than to understand him." --------- Fyodor Dostoevsky
As Dostoevsky said, it's easier to denounce the evildoer than to understand him. No matter how evil the person is, there is always a reason behind. Whether we like it or not, evil doesn't prevail without a cause, and usually the cause is created by "good."
With that said, let's proceed to my point of this post. I am not saying that whatever Pia did was OK but all I am saying is that her stand is sorta understandable.
Yes Pia has done a LOT of mean things but why did she do them? Pia wasn't always like this. Even though it's hard for us to imagine she did love her sisters, she is one of the characters that ekta has destroyed completely. Pia always cared about her sisters, the only difference is while caring for them she cares about herself too, why is it so bad?
I don't know about ALL of you, but some of us want bani to think about herself, and at the same time care about her sisters, isn't that what pia is doing?(I mean she took it overboard yes, but more or less that's what she is doing)
Remember when MT gave us the news that bani might have to choose b/w Jai or Pia, we always wanted bani to chose Jai and at that time we didn't even know that pia would as much as drug jai into doing all this, yes we expected something bad from her but not this bad, yet we wanted Bani to chose Jai. And now that Pia has done that, chose Jai over her sister, why is it so bad?
More importantly pia knowing about Jai and Bani's relationship, at the time when pia was going through her "confused" state was when the divorce/alimony fiasco happened, what was she to think at that time? All she knew was bani wanted to go far far away from jai to never return, so what was she to do? Jai was going to be a single man soon, so what's so hard about liking or even caring for a man who is single? Her marriage was going to break for sure.
I mean who would want to live with a family where the bhabhi is always taunting you for everything, your husband won't do anything unless his mother tells him to. It wasn't only pia's fault that the marriage broke it was all their faults. Instead of being rude to her they could've handled everything maturely. Yes pia didn't know how to be a homemaker, but she could've learned if she was given a chance. Even before she stepped in pushkar's house seema bhabhi started taunting her, do you really think after those taunts she would just be quiet? Why expect pia to understand others and not to understand pia? Even pushkar never left a chance to insult her, is that what a husband is supposed to be, especially when the wife is going through so much(leaving her sisters, and more importantly living with the guilt that her di was facing the wrath of someone)? If pushkar could understand bani, why didn't he understand Pia? Why did he, whenever he got a chance just insult her? I agree he somewhat tried to give them a better life, but did he really? So her marriage was going to break eventually.
There is no explanation whatsoever for the ONS so I am not even going to bother, especially now that we know that she drugged him. But I still believe that she did it when she was sure that bani had left him.
The behavior post ONS, she genuinely tried to move away from JB. She even tried to resign from her job, to be stopped by the couple, she tried to maintain her distance but well bani(unintentionally of course) always somehow pushed pia towards Mr. Walia. The thing that hurt her the most, the dreams she had for herself her sister was living them, every human being(who is not Mahan) would feel jealous when that's the case. Living someone else live your dream, while the other doesn't even care about it, that hurts.
I'll give you my dad's example, he wanted to be a doctor, but he couldn't due to some circumstances, he had everything to be a doctor, and now he sees some people studying medicine but slacking off, and well not caring. He doesn't feel jealous, but it hurts to see when people are given a chance they don't use it. If my dad could, he would willingly take that students place who doesn't care about it. (I know not a very good example but hey that's the closest one I could find).
That's exactly what Pia must've felt, she wanted all those things but she couldn't get. She tried to forget about Jai(yes she did in the beginning), but well circumstances(ahem bani) didn't let her. She lost all her self control when she found out she was pregnant(which I still doubt, but nonetheless), I mean she took that as an opportunity to get her love. Her way might have been wrong, but the intention behind it, even though she was way off in thinking that bani would go with pushkar, but well that's what she thought. Bani could live happily with pushkar while she can have all she wanted(yes money).
Going with, we still don't know who's baby it is (even though I refuse to believe it's my baby's), but thinking from the show's perspective, why wouldn't she want her child to have his/her REAL father's name? Why wouldn't she want her child to live a life with luxury instead of a life filled with difficulties with pushkar? Especially when the real father loves kids, and his wife can't(for now, but Krishna is on his/her way) give him a baby?
I am not saying Pia is GOOD, I am just saying that there is a reason behind it. Bash all you want, but do understand her. You can still hate a person and understand them. Again it's easy to say evil is bad, but it's hard to understand why it's bad?
Whatever Pia did was definitely not the best thing, but she did what she had to. She needed to make a choice between her sister and the "father" of her child, and she chose the latter. We cannot expect everyone to be Mahan but we can definitely understand why people are not Mahan right?
I am in no way saying start loving pia, because well that's not possible, and I know it. But just try to understand her. She is twisted but why is she twisted? Is she solely responsible for everything, aren't there other reasons behind it too?
Every one makes mistakes, some make graver mistakes than others, but it is up to us to understand the reasoning and move beyond it, instead of holding on to them and hate others(I should follow my own saying sometimes don't you think so?).
Last but not the least, Pia is only what she is because of us. Just think about it, if we as viewers hadn't given pia that much importance she wouldn't be in this stage, and def. not make us go through this torture(for some it's JB's separation, for some its bani's condition, and for ME it's my baby's pain).
I am seriously going to shut up now, because well I have written too much. I doubt anyone would read this, but oh well had to get it out of my system.
