Sareetha i agree with u 100% Rape or near rape is such a inhuman and beastly act and it is unpardanoble even if it is done by husband.It shatters the whole existence of a women and her dignity in and out.After that epi even i thought prachi will ignore Milind and make him fall on kneels for forgiveness but these creatives are just 😡
^^ Krishna , I agree that it is a serial and for the story to move forward , it will be done as was always, but unless we viewers raise a objection, I dont think, its ever gonna stop... and much to chagrin of many who believe so, such portrayals will only impact the mindset of many... sad but true...
Am in complete agreement with you dear😃👏...
And I did make a post...I beleive here in this forum...it self ...or maybe another.....am not sure...😕
That instead of making petions for useless stuff like getting the hero back with the heroine...asking for lovey dovey scenes🤢....petitions should be made to address real issues....that matter....such issues like rape.....abuse of all kinds....mental diseases...etc...
The Channels and the Production houses should be made aware that Television is the most widedly watched by all family members and by people of ever strata...and age group.... through out the country....and every where else too...and its their repsosibility to provide...correct interpretation to such things....provide the correct knowledge to people about such victims and how they can be helped etc...not make a mockery of it or use such issues for entertainment purposes or for increasing the shows or channels TRP....
Along with entertainment these shows should help in changing the mind set of people....should make them more aware...
It should be their social duty ...in educating the massess....a humanitarian duty....
Actually, I'm surprised and delighted that a simple thread that was about PnM evolved into just a macro discussion. It is an eye-opener.
My intention was to comment on the pitfalls of a marital relationship that is based on lack of communication. Pnm were just an example of how things can go horribly awry when a relationship is expected to survive on silences and half-acknowkedged truths. Were we in the real world to conduct ourselves in a similar manner, God help us and everyone connected to us.
While Kayamath is fictitious and the writers are making MPA act as they do in order to stretch the drama to the maximum, we who inhabit the real world become impatient and are bewildered by they way these characters conduct themselves as we would never do what they do in real life.
So, when we argue in favour or against their actions, be it M's incomprehensible silences, his near-rape of Prachi and Prach's sudden amnesia abt its effects on her and her about-turn and other things too long to enumerate here, we have to take care not to cross the the thin line bt the real and the reel. There are a lot of things that cannot be tolerated in the real world. One of them is abuse, whether mental or physical. Another is rape, marital or otherwise. Relationships bt spouses are the most vulnerable and are the easiest to be hurt at the slighest provocation. So when things are not set out in black and white, they are open to interpretation and certainly misinterpretation.
When things are not communicated or only half communicated, the other party does draw his/her own conclusion.
When I started this topic, I merely wanted to relate it to real life and show how misleading and disastrous such behaviour can be. I'm sure there are many young girls who watch this show and may think that certain things are acceptable when they are not.
This post is not meant to offend anyone. It's just that all of us (me included) tend to love some of these characters and touch our imagination. I wanted to bring some equilibrum to my thoughts and uneqivocally separate the chaff from the wheat.

Fully agree with you sareeta on this one. In fact there is no justification for Milind's behaviour that night. And Prachi seems to have let him off lightly. They could have atleast shown a little more remorse on the part of Milind than that scene on the temple steps. May be some scenes of his introspection. I also find it difficult to believe that Prachi falls for him so soon (two days?) after that incident. Maybe that dame is really mentally tough!!!
About the near-rape and its aftermath, I'd like to say something.
Milind's repentance for what he did ultimately came as a consequence of the 'truth' he learnt from the doctor and the letter Prachi wrote to get him his contract and not because of any natural sensitivity and principles on his part.
So, if neither of those things occurred, do you think the man would have had such a change of heart? In other words, his repentance and ultimate apology was dependent on Prachi's good deeds on his behalf.
So, what's such a repentance worth?
