Yes. Pyar gives the haq. Such a fool Sona was when she was blabbering like 'Mujhe aur koi nahi hurt kar sakta'. Ab bhukto ๐ฅฑ๐.
I just now got done watching 'Mrinal ki chiththhi' (Strir Potro) story by R. Tagore. ๐ What a story, what a character, just a FRESH patch of feminist wings (if you call me that, PROUD Feminist ๐ณ๐). The central character Mrinal in SO many ways represents stories like Sonakshi and MANY of the women even till date. Some excerpts from her letter to her husband :
'One thing I have always noticed, in this house, it was never about if I am happy there or not, it was always about how I keep OTHERS happy' - Direct representation of Sona's case in Dickshit mansion.
'You cannot directly be rude to a poor girl who stays at your house for shelter because you are scared of my strength of honesty and your status in the society, hence, you come up with ways and ideas on manipulating the poor girl to make an exit' - OH SO Ishwari. ๐ The mask of goodness is still in tact to hide the bare dark evil soul inside her. ๐คข
'I got a little too much educated to be fit as the bahu of your house. As soon as I entered the house, everyone started pin-pointing each of my flaws with so much of care. However, you have completely turned your eyes on the pain of my initial days at your home, you never cared' - OMG ๐ฒ I was shocked and pinched myself to check if Mrinal is Sona or not. ๐
'I am never going to return to that house again, because the small petty double standards against women will not allow me to do the things I want to do with my life. It took 15 yrs for me to recognize the shallowness and double standards at your place, but better late than never' - And with this, I was SURE that it was Sona's ancestor in Mrinal ๐.
When Mrinal informs her husband about her going to Puri and her husband says 'Maa will not permit, Mrinal says 'Tell her I am going to pray for a kid' and there comes a monologue - 'I know this is ONE excuse which you and your mother will never be able to resist'. ------------ Dev and Ishwari ???? ๐ฒ

Hats off to Rabindranath Tagore (Although I am not his fan to be precise, but his writing and specially some female characters, no superlatives). 100 yrs back he represented the double standards of this society and on how the women are treated in their in-laws as nothing more than a commodity and tool to bear the heir of their family. And 100 yrs later we are watching a series where the Hero treats the woman like shit and the Mother-Son duo doesn't even acknowledge that as a human being Sonakshi deserves respect first, later as a mother. ๐คข If 100 yrs back a fictional character can take such bold step of coming out of her conservative suffocated marriage, why cannot we expect the same from Sonakshi ? I hope she never ever returns to the Bull-house and endorse the regressive thoughts the family holds in the name of 'vaaris', 'khoon' etc ๐คข
