Great questions. I can't predict what will happen, but I know one thing for sure. If I were Abhi (as conflicted I am at this point) it would not do much to evade my anger. Yes, it may clarify the stand that Pragya made these sacrifices or that she is not the gold digger I thought her to be, but still, it does nothing to help me, Abhi the big brother.
Why?
Because:
- Purab has created this mess. Unknowingly or knowingly the ground for "hatred" is that Purab fell in love with a supposed gold digger, and left Aaliya for her in the most unceremonious manner. He was not man enough to tell Abhi off when the alliance was initially proposed, not man enough to let Bulbul know he had a fiance, not man enough to then let Abhi know the truth, not man enough to face the family on the wedding day and tell the truth. The problem with truth is that it will come out no matter what. But, well. I understand Purab does not want to marry Aaliya, but why did he run away from the wedding? Does this hurt Daadi less than telling Daadi the truth? I don't understand.
- Purab has hurt Aaliya. No matter how bad she is, Purab did hurt Aaliya. Abhi's anger to that "hurt" is justified.
- Now suddenly Abhi finds out that the girl is Bulbul and not Pragya.
- So what? Pragya still let a lot happen without telling the truth. Yes she was quite (but it was to save Bulbul) and she did force Purab to marry Aaliya to some extent, but so what? She has hidden big facts from her mother and daadi, which can be questioned.
- No matter what, ultimately from Abhi's eyes, Pragya and now her sister are responsible for hurting Aaliya.
So what? Someone needs to bring back the sensibility in this show by being the voice of reason. Whether it is Pragya (who has forgotten she has a spine, and a logical practical brain) or Purab or may be even Bulbul need to tell Abhi that though the mess has been created he is not seeing the basic right Purab has to select a partner and that by forcing a relationship like that he will do his sister no good. Abhi is a good boy, he had already alluded Aaliya to forget Purab.. his anger comes from the sense of betrayal, not the fact of not liking Aaliya... and someone just needs to show him the mirror. Unfortunately or whatever reason no one wants to do that. But, I think I know why :) Its less dramatic than all the mangalsutra snatching... etc.
If I were a CV I would have Pragya yell "enough" and give a piece of her mind to Abhi after the truth is out. This can then be the true beginning of Pragya-Abhi friendship. Abhi should not fall in love with Pragya yet. There is so much scope in the relationship (like their past encounters, knowing each other, respecting each other, looking past their own ideas of love, friendship etc.). First they can be friends... and really good friends. They can then fall in love when the time is right. The love should not come from the guilt of anything.
Why cant this show actually be a sense and sensibility show where they truly show the conflict of wisdom and belief between the two characters... instead of these misguided confusions?
Hopefully they will.
