But, here is my problem, my friend. As long as I can put myself in the character's shoes and look at their actions and if I can twist myself to see their point, I am at peace👍🏼I will let that character go without too much of criticism. Believe it or not It doesn't mean I am in agreement or condone what all they have done. All I am saying is, I see their point.
As far as Anurag goes, the actor got my buy in. I can see his point. Again, doesn't mean I am endorsing what he has done. In his stupid drama world, I understand why he did, what he did. The actor is relatable and made me understand his point of view. Therefore, I can sympathize with him.😒
For Prerna, I simply feel bad for her character when I think and dwell about her. When I look at Prerna on the screen, that girl doesn't evoke much of anything in me. Either because of the way the writers, director or the actor are portraying her on the screen🤔. But, my good old brain always reminds me that here is a young girl who has suffered a lot and is still going through a lot. She is being played very badly by both the guys. One is withholding his love and affection for her and the other doing a disservice to her and holding her hostage by hiding behind the mask of whatever..... FYI, I cringe to say the word ' mentor' for character Bajaj which is so demeaning to the word itself🤢.
Bajaj only evokes disgust. I don't understand the essence of Bajaj. The rhetoric that he is supposed to be an elusive, enigma who is omnipotent, who has these supposedly supernatural powers whereby he can only disclose what he wants to people, not a word more, not a word less isn't helping his case with me😡. When I try to come to peace with this rhetoric, he tries to get sympathy by saying my dad has been bad to me as a child, my wife is doing things behind my back and so I will mistreat people. My daughter has to suffer my wrath because of my sob story ridden past, just doesn't sit well with me. I simply don't see his point.
At some point, people need to take responsibility for their actions, don't they? How long are we going to blame our parents, our circumstances for all that we do? We don't have control on any of those, but what about control of our actions? I completely reject this narrative, that Bajaj is a wounded soul and so everybody has to suffer his misery and wrath😡 Is it OK if his daughter turns out like him, a conniving, scheming human being when she grows up? After all, she also doesn't have a great childhood. The only parent she had was abusive😡
Anyway, I am sorry folks, I sat down to write something and as usual went some whereelse.
