I am glad about this thread, that way the topics will not become repetitive!!
From Day 1 I did not want Raunak to be anything other than Kasturi's friend. In all the polls and posts about R-K-RA triangle, marriage etc, I stuck to Robbie!! (Seems like I deserve Robbie more than Kasturi, for standing by his side through thick and thin đ!!! Of course, not that I want him!!! đ )
Anyways, the reason I always stood by RK jodi was because their love for each other is genuine!!! It was not based on infatuation and physical attraction. Their minds and hearts were attracted to each other!! Nothing was based on falsehood. Kasturi knew Robbie was awaara, badchalan. Robbie knew Kasturi was not hip, modern and what he thought he wanted. But still they fell in love!!! Such genuine love between two people when brought together can be a most wonderful and blissful experience. That is supreme!
First, my general view on love:
Love is multi-faceted. It is interpersed with other emotions such as trust, faith, giving some space and time to the other person, understanding your partner's aspirations, frustrations, personality and many other things. It is deeper than infatuation and physical attraction!! Who said Love was always sweet and soothing?? Many a times love gives a lot of pain too. If at the first sign of pain, you run, phir kya baat hui?? You have to withstand the pain and continue. That is the greatest proof of your love. But Robbie failed this litmus test. While his love was genuine, he failed in these other departments. Which was OK, because not everyone has the same kind of personality and mindset.And that is where your partner comes into picture. She/He should be able to bring a transformation in you.
Now, from the point of view of the serial:
The moment Robbie received pain, he stopped loving (atleast that is what is being shown).
But then I had a lot of hope on Kasturi. I thought her character was sketched as a strong one and woh Robbie ko sambhalegi. I thought she will allay his fears, so over a period of time Robbie will also become as strong as her and their love will not be lost. Someone in the forum had said, that they would never marry a boy (Robbie) but would prefer to marry a man(Raunak).But Kasturi could have brought about this transformation, She could have helped Robbie transform into a man. But that is not happening either. She is being shown as being pressurised for her family's izzat to tie the knot with Raunak as I am assuming she will accept his proposal. **sigh**. This is where I am totally disappointed.
The magic that exists between R and K can never exist between Raunak and K. Their marriage will be a compromise and maybe over a period of time it could get some new colour and they may start loving each other but it will never be what it would have been between R and K.
Well, as I said before I will not loose hope till the last minute đ !!! Till Raunak actually marries Kasturi, I will keep hoping for RK jodi đđź.
