Okay fair enough no one asks it..and if anyone asks I reply as per the requirement..I wont comment on why you felt Sonakshi was humiliated (minus current situation)..Oh but wait..you named it as humiliation I named it as compromises adjustments and understanding..

you think I was trying to do moral policing LMAO..then you are highly mistaken..have a glass of cold water..dude did u even read what I was saying..I never said what anyone should do..I simply asked something that too in a very general way..coz I couldnt fathom the reason of it ..simple..that too coz I felt with so much of criticism how can one enjoy something..thats why I asked

Instead I feel their are many here with very idealistic thinking..

You have still not got the main point.you are trying to question someone's judgement (though in a garbed way) which is undesired and unwarranted. You again exposed your real aim above by some of your comments.

And in case you are trying to psychoanalyse, (as you are trying to imply now) please no one applied to you to be treated as your specimen

Um, if you think that prank was super charming and that we should give Raj credit for not having sex with her while she was drunk -- however she got that way -- I don't know what to say. 😕

Also, what do you mean? Raj totally said 'daddy doesn't agree tata bye bye,' gave Simran's hand in Baldev's and left to get on the train. He didn't even ask what Simran wanted to do, and said in so many words that Simran would have to marry Kuljeet if that is what Baldev ultimately ordered because she was his "amaanat." DDLJ and Raj were groundbreaking at the time, and nobody can deny it, but the gender politics of the film are heavily outdated now.

Purely from a story perspective, if you want to draw parallels with KRP, it makes more sense to juxtapose Dev and Simran, both overburdened children of parents who went through great hardships to raise them, parents who tend to place their honour and importance above the happiness of their child. Sona is much more like Raj... the breath of fresh air and levity in Dev's heavily controlled life. In this case, she is the one with the supportive family, and loves Dev enough to deal with his dysfunctional one.

Men shouldn't always have to be the rescuers. Sometimes they are the ones who need help.

We shouldn't give Raj 'credit' for not having sex with Simran while she was drunk. The same way we should not give 'credit' to Dev ever for standing up for Sonakshi in front of his own family (if it ever happens). One doesn't get an award/reward to do something which SHOULD have been done anyway. But the prank was funny, may be to me, not to you, sense of humour varies from person to person.

And I dont know what you mean in the second para, because after all those 'slap' drama, Raj told his dad that Baldev himself is going to come and give Simran's hand to his. 😳😆 This is the confidence I am talking about. He had faith in his own love, his fight although based on lies, his methods/skills of negotiations. I don't see any issue with that movie even after being hardcore feminist and believer of equality. Simran got her own share of struggles and she preferred to elope rather than giving up to his dictator Dad and cheating on her boyfriend. There were multiple occasions where Simran came up with her idea of saving herself (engagement finger thing). They fought, and that is why DDLJ was/is SO special.

Not wanting to draw parallel from the whole backdrop of DDLJ and KRPKAB, I opened my post just on the slap scene to prove that a hero never slaps his FIL EVEN by mistake/accident. 😛😆

I cant believe i am going to witness it soon..
no matter what if he does slap.. it is over for dev himself.. and sona if she stands by dev n ishwari for this.. i wud say..
someone who cannot respect her ownself will obviously be okay with her dad being slapped..
whatever noise he is doing it is for her..
he might b crossing limits.. but is that not what dev's mother and mamiji doing.. then why only one sided reality check..!!!!

coz it is gal side relatives..? boy side have all the license to do any shit.. still respect..

i dont care what happens then.. am only bothered about
What dadi thinks?
what asha thinks?
what saurabh thinks?
what elena thinks?
and mostly what SONA thinks?

👏 I am proud of some the hardcore Devakshi fans who primarily watch the show for their chemistry and their individual characters, still are bold enough to call a spade a spade. This particular event cannot have justification. No amount of apology can reverse it. Only Time Machine can erase this from everyone's memory.

When I think of Devakshi patch-up after this, and Bijoy-Dev having a drink/share a laugh together, a very common scenario for every household. I just cannot picturize it anymore. Sona needs to break all ties with Bose family if she wants to continue her term with Dixits based on whatever ABC conditions. 😕
