Oh my God! You're making me feel totally guilty. I feel like I crucified Preet. 😭

I feel even worse 😕 looking at his cute pics in your siggie.

I don't think Preet really schemed as far as Premeer are concerned. Scheming implies premeditation. In the show he was willing to do anything for his PB, same here.

I sort of agree with Nikitagmc's take on the situation. I think everyone just fell prey to a big misunderstanding.

The only real schemers as far as I can preceive are Ash and her mom, and at times Maya, just like in Kis Desh, and let's not forget that low-life Viren..

Ouch!

You bring up an absolutely valid point. Okay Preet schemed, but his scheming was without malice intended, as compared to Ash or Viren.

Other than that we'll have to see what Preet does next and if it is good enough for Meher.

Oh don't feel guilty! 😆 Even I don't feel Preet 'schemed' as such, and for me Preet hasn't been crucified at all. At least not in the beginning. If he had to scheme, he would have tried to separate the love birds behind their back. He didn't. He just shared his apprehensions with his brother and asked him to consider things a little, think it over etc before taking a decision as big as marriage. He was honest and his intentions protective and well intended rather than evil. He didn't ask Prem to leave Heer or instigate him to leave her. He just wanted Prem to know what he had heard and decide for himself whether it could be true or false- I clearly rememer the 'time and space' dialogue you used. And anyway, Prem isn't a child to get brainwashed by a bro so much younger than his. If he did get convinced so easily, then again, the fault here is his rather than Preet's. He isnt a child, he is actually elder and expected to be more mature- secondly he is expected to know Heer better than Preet. How could he get convinced so easily by a bro younger than him? 😕

As I see it, the decision was solely Prem's, taken in a confused state due to Gayathri's advice. It was he who didn't think clearly or try to investigate. Wrong, but understandable considering his state of mind. But again, in 6 months- which is a pretty long time, Prem didn't reflect on his decision or even if he did, made no efforts to clear the situation- considering it was he who loved Heer and knew her better than others it was his responsibility to do that.. and six months is long enough to get back to a calm state and think things over. Not that I blame Prem totally for what happened, I've already said it was a bad situation, but yes, if analysed, Prem is no less at fault, rather more responsible for the mess in comparison to Preet. As it is, he is elder than Preet, more calmer and mature, and so expectations from Prem to handle the situation will normally be more. Meher's Chachee, Prem, Heer's parents, somewhere even Heer- all are responsible in some way or the other.

The only place where I personally feel Preet did wrong was that he shouldn't have hidden the fact from his brother that Heer came to visit them or asked the watchman to not let Heer meet Prem. I can absolutely understand why he would have done so--- maybe he didn't want the whole turmoil cycle for his brother to begin again by opening the issue again, as Prem was clearly distressed and agitated the last time, plus Prem had sort of himself taken the decision to leave India and given the idea of moving ahead in life in six months, not looking back at things, which would have actually strengthened Preet's belief that "Yes, Heer was actually wrong and even PB realises that.". His elder brother's actions strengthened Preet's belief that he was not wrong.

Preet's actions here were again well intentioned from his point of view and go with his character of a protective brother. But all the same, it would have been best for him to let things go normally and let Heer meet Prem and let Prem decide for himself- the way he did the first time, cos hiding never helps. If you hide facts, then there is no guarantee of how your intentions will be perceived when the truth comes out. Hiding is always useless. Preet sort of landed himself in a mess by hiding things, and unintentionally complicated things for Heer and Prem.

This is just a human mistake, and more importantly, something that one learns with age and experience- Preet here is just 21 (or 23.. what was it?) . Preet too will learn it at the end of the story, I suppose, just as Darcy realised. These little flaws only end up making the characters of the story more interesting, relatable and human. The beauty of P and P is in it's introspection, and of the fact that there is no totally perfect character, not the leads, not the supporting leads, not even the parents of the leads, and there is a small introspection/reflection of each of them in some way or the other. As the characters realise their flaws, so do we, cos the mistakes they make in this story are very often such that we ourselves make in everyday life- getting judgemental, hiding things, not being rational in difficult situations and so on.

Phew! That was long. 😆

I know i am late , sorry 😊

I'm loving your Preet siggies.

🤣

(Wipes tears of laughter from her eyes)

I'm surprised Meher didn't do so, I mean look at the way Preet proposed to her.

He in essence told her you're not good enough but I want to marry you anyway. Now that deserves a beating. 😆

Pat on the shoulder for Meher, for keeping her cool. Like Athisda, I really like that quality in Meher.
