I don't agree much..only in parts maybe.
My point of disagreement is with the subject of ur post itself..
Gamble - according to me none of them played a gamble. They have actually been going by the statement, kya khote hai kya paate hai jab dil ke faisle dimag se hote hai..they have been taking decisions using their mind which is the most unstable in the situation they are in and hence that made them make decisions in a haste without letting them accept the reality. And sadly they have not been able to shut up their hearts...their emotions refuse to accept practicality just like in real life scenarios.
For Ritik, it wasnt a gamble. A gamble is played only when you're getting something big outta it. Bigger Risk, gamble, won, even bigger reward. Or mayb outta habit and fun.
I haven't read or mite have missed your view in Ritik's decision on marrying Sonakshi. Time and again I have been mentioning in my posts, I don't see Ritik having any emotional involvement with Sonakshi..even today on their engagement day. Yes he supports her, wants to help her, but where is that strong feeling that you have for a person or a strong love connection that makes you forget or overlook big huge things?? Why would a person want to marry a girl who is always talking about her ex with him, whose ex has been brining problems (loan deny) to his life, whose ex according to Ritik has got them humiliated publically (newspaper) he's not in love with.
To be frank I have still not understood The reason for Ritik's decision to marry Sona. I have not understood what he will get out of it, what's the reward? A reward so big that he is willing to take the risk and play the gamble as mentioned by you. Coz in my opinion, it's not that he won't find another girl or there's no other girl like Sona for that matter. He mentioned he'll be a lucky guy IF Sona gets married to him but that surely again doesn't mean not marrying Sona will make him unlucky.
Now coming to Sona. I think it was a gamble when she told Dev the other day that if he agrees to maary her, she'll take care of parents and other things and won't even think twice.
If you ask me, Dev didnt have to do much today to pull Sona towards him... We saw since friday only that prior to engagement day she was most of the times in control of her emotions (except when alone or in front of Elena on an instance) or hell bent to do the engagement but when the actual moment was about to arrive, her frustration, her uneasiness, her fear all started coming out in open. And so even today, she had all her concentration on Dev. Even if he had not drunk or lets say much before he got drunk she still had all her attention towards him.
For Dev, he's sooo weak at the moment that he's passed that stage where he even has a singke sign of hope that something will happen. Infact he's accepted the fact that he doesn't deserve Sona. And in such situations plus with no faith in god, he can't even expect a miracle.
My disagreement with all your posts is on similar lines. PERSPECTIVE.
Your posts are what I wil call an ideal scenario where there is clear distinction between what should be done and what should not Be done...what is right and what is not right. They are far away from emotions..which comes first and foremost to humans in any situation and forms the basis of their actions and reactions
only practical logical and rational thought is far from reality for me and reality appeals more to me.
I would always prefer to focus on why it happened, why was it done. To me finding and answer to why and correcting it is far real than what should have happened (ideal)
