So, I hadn't gotten a chance to watch LTL for the last two weeks (the last episode I saw was for November 2nd). And since most of us know, I prefer to watch the episode myself instead of reading the updates, I really hadn't caught up at all. But then today, I decided to just go ahead and read the updates (two weeks worth, all in the past hour) and get all caught up because I don't have the time to watch the episodes anytime soon.
Anyways, that being said - now that I've read all the updates, to say that I am glad that I didn't watch the episodes would be an understatement. Because if I'm livid right now, having SEEN this mediocre display of "care" by those involved in the wedding fiasco would have send me on a rampant rage attack.
I would like to clarify first off, that I honestly love every character in the show - as long as the character is sketched properly, has a purpose and is portrayed effectively, I enjoy it. But I cannot - no scratch that - I will not accept any excuse for why the wedding had to happen the way it had with Nakku's truth well under wraps. NO excuses at all. They just have to admit - all of them involved i.e. Baabi, Nakku, Aayi Sahib and Baji - that what they did was for their own selfish reasons and not for Dutta's "good". No, not for his good at all! Kala was never on Dutta's side, so using this as a reason to hurt him is not something I'd put past her. And she'd make no excuses for her reasons too - she did it to hurt him and she has no qualms about it. It's all the rest of these people who "claim" to have done it out of love that piss me off. But lets get into that in detail, shall we?
Baabi
You honestly started as a brilliant facet of motherhood for me ever since your Morey days. You were always there for your family in whatever capacity they might need you. Whether it was to silently support them or to defend them in front of whoever it was that was abusing them! You used force or love, whatever it took - to do what's best for your family. And above all love adored your kids. You knew what they felt and what they wanted even before they said it and I appreciated that.
Your need to cover Nakku's face with dark soot had always been a last resort attempt at trying to protect her - you'd lost one daughter to her beauty and so your apprehension at the idea of another one of your daughters being exploited for her looks was understandable. And the fact that your worry wasn't unsubstantiated was proven by the whole Morey fiasco once Nakku's beauty came out in the open. Toh fine, I understood the reason why you put back that dark soot on her and then later kept it under wraps while in the house with Dutta. Because quite honestly, you worked in the Patil mansion but that does not mean you need to put all your dirty laundry out there for all to see. So I get it. I understand.
But when your daughter found a guy who loved her back - when she found that one person who cared for her regardless of how she looked, why then did you think it was imperative that her beauty be kept under wraps? Because you were worried that he wouldn't like the idea of being "lied to" since day one?! Because it worried you that he might get upset and angry? That he might not marry your daughter?! That now that your daughter was getting her "happiness", bringing out the truth would threaten that happiness?! *takes a deep breath* I am sorry, but that is the biggest load of "nonsense" I've ever heard.
Why you thought that your daughter was "happy" is beyond me. Why you felt that any happiness, no matter how it's obtained and no matter what lies it's based on, is okay for your daugther, is something I dont understand. And WHY you thought that prolonging the lie and subsequently the abuse of their love any longer would be useful, I don't know.
And all that being done, WHY you expected that after tricking the guy into marrying her - a guy that you know HATED betrayals and lies - he would accept her with open arms and ride off into the sunset with her is honestly too much for my brain to handle.
I would instead that you "man up" to the blunder you've committed and come out with the real reason behind doing what you did. That you were scared of letting go of a lie that had been in the family for years. Because it was easier pretending that nothing was wrong than it was to own up to the lie (which honestly was NOT a personally attack on Dutta and would not have been taken as one if it was revealed earlier) and allowing for the guy to come to terms with it and THEN accepting your daughter (as he would have). No. You screwed up big time. So stop making excuses about how you did it out of love and didn't "mean to betray any one" and that it was just circumstances. Because it wasn't circumstances or innocent bad luck - it was a viciously calculated ploy orchestrated by you (for the most part) to wrap wool over the guy's eyes and to get him to marry your daughter. Kiyoun k aik baar shaadi ho gayi, phir toh koi kya karey ga, right?! Kiyoun k now that your daughter's married - you're all happy and she has all her "happiness"? *rolls eyes*
Aayi Sahib
I don't even have much of anything to say to you, really. You live in a bubble of sorts - where you think as long as you accomplish the "small" goals in life (like making sure Dutta completed a pooja before he heads out to kill people or that he eats and sleeps on time), the bigger problems won't matter (like the fact that he is in fact a gangster?!). So I get your need to always consult the pandit as your way of exerting a little control over his life and the problems that await him. It makes you feel like you're in control and it helps you deal with the stress of your son's job. So fine, I get it.
But getting him married to a bride that literally wears a cloak over her face - all because it would keep him safe? Are you seriously kidding me?! Are you so wrapped in your "Keep Dutta safe" mission that you forget that heartbreak is just as psychologically painful a process as any physical torture? You are so tunnel-visioned in your attempt to maintain sanity in your life, that Mission "Keep Dutta safe" ended up being your end all be all? And you were okay with TRICKING your son into marriage, even though you CLEARLY know that he hates betrayal! He HATES it! And if that wasn't enough - if that trickery wasn't enough - you decided you wanted to host a "fair Nakku" haldi ceremony where everyone else found out about his bride except for him? *shakes head* I don't even know how to validate this ridiculous move on your part..
And should I remind you that he is in fact already married to Nakku. This second wedding wasn't NEEDED to sanctify their marriage. It was just something Dutta wanted to do for Nakku - out of love. Out of respect. And as an apology for his earlier behaviour. So honestly, your son already has his "Shield-wife". You did not need to worry. And you did not need to lie to him.
So now, when he's in pain and he's devastated - and now when he decided he doesn't even want to look at your face - please don't you dare try to tell him that you did it because you wanted to see HIM safe. No. You did it because you wanted to maintain your sanity and pretend that you still have some control over your child's safety. Although, if I may suggest, taking away his gun and keeping him on house arrest would have proven more effective than coercing him into marrying a girl who's been lying to him, with a methaphorial blind fold on his eyes. Just saying. *disgusted muh*
Baji
The first time your friend was betrayed by a girl he "loved", he took up contract killing and went into a life of crime. The second time your friend was betrayed by a girl he cared for, he wrongfully judged the one person that cared for him a lot and "tortured" her. The third time your friend was lied to by his mother, about the truth of his father, he went on a heart broken drinking spree. And all three times, you were there to witness his pain caused by the lie and the disgust he felt for the betrayal. Yet you felt it was important to keep Nakku's (the one girl he really, truly, completely loves) from him because it will make him angry? *takes a deep breath*
I am sorry Baji Rao, but that was the most ridiculously absurd reasoning I have EVER heard in my entire life. You don't want him getting hurt and angry because he was being lied to, so you continue hiding the lie and prolong the length of his betrayal? Am I the only one who sees what a viciously painful cycle this is? And one that makes NO logical sense what so ever! I am not going to preach to you, because you honestly knew better. YOU knew better - and you screwed up. SO now you deal with it. And don't you dare complain about how he reacts or find it "unfair". Because what you did was far more unfair - I don't care if you were staring down the barrell of a gun as you decided to trick Dutta into his wedding with Nakku before telling him the truth. Because for someone who claims to be able to "lay his life for Dutta", this should have been a no brainer.
I understand that you didn't want Dutta getting hurt but did you honestly think that being lied to any longer than he already had was going to be something Dutta appreciated? And the fact that you helped Aayi Sahib while she made sure EVERYONE except Dutta knew the truth about his OWN wife...? *shakes head* You are so immensely loyal to Dutta - so fiercely protective of him - yet you screwed up so bad. You let your own loyalty and protectiveness of Dutta cloud your judgement - and it breaks my heart, but honestly, this time you deserved it. *heartbroken muh*
Nakku
What do I even say to you, the woman that claim to know Dutta better than he does himself? How do you even begin to justify what you did? Sure there are a million reason - Babi forcing your mouth shut, Baji asking you to wait, Aayi Sahib coercing you into silence - but there is no excuse. None. Because you of all people should have known that the truth has to come out - that was a given. And the fact that you delayed it only prolong his suffering and his pain. So you can tell me that the "elders asked you" to wait or that those close to Dutta decided what they felt was for his best. But that just doesn't mean much to me. In fact it really honestly stands for nothing. Nothing at all, in my eyes.
You knew that this was wrong - because you've wanted to tell him ever since he came back to save you from Anna. Your heart told you that lying to him was wrong, so why was it that the Nakku who listened to everything her heart said and was ready to fall off a cliff with Dutta, decided against HER better judgement for the judgement of those around her? Why didn't YOU run to Dutta and tell him the truth? It's not like you didn't know that the man doesn't not like being cornered - you tried lying to him for "his own good" during the Supriya fiasco and you saw how that turned out. So why did you think that this time, when he actually loves you, would it be any better? Why did you think that now when Dutta needed his Nakku to think for him and his happiness, it was okay to take a step back and let everyone else run the show and pull the strings to Dutta's feelings? And why did you LET them?! You fought with your father for a complete stranger when Dutta got shot the night you met him. You braved goons with guns to go find him and protect him. You never shied away from the truth in his presense and you know that is what he fell in love with. So now that he loves you, you took a step back, decided to get "scared", hid behind a lie and allowed everyone else to play God with a man who hates loss of control and betrayal? I understand that you were scared of how Dutta might react to your truth, but how can you possibly tell me that you weren't more scared of how he might get affect by it?! How were you not SCARED of what those family members were doing to his heart and his trust?! How could you reveal yourself in front of everyone but him?
You're not the Nakku I know. This is not what Nakku would have done. She'd have put Dutta first and foremost in her decision and that's all that would have mattered to her. But to you, all that mattered was your fear of his reaction and because of that fear, you let everyone else manipulate the situation. Honestly, Nakku. I do not approve. At all. And I see now reason for you to ask him to "hear you out before jumping to conclusions" right before you lay your "fair-skinned" hand in his the night of your wedding. I am sorry. I see no excuse at all. None. And so now when Dutta claims that his Nakku's dead - I'm inclined to believe it. Because you haven't acted like his Nakku in a long while. *shakes head*
*realises she's posted a ridiculously long rant*
Oh blah! I am pissed so I guess this was coming. Just be glad I've decided not to watch the episodes for the past 2 weeks (I don't think I can stand WATCHING this nonsense - reading was enough) warna abhi aur ghussa nikalta. *shudders*
But quite honestly, to me, each and every one of these people above have done what they've done for their own selfish reasons. Fear, love, loyalty or love - whatever be the reason, it was all for their own selfish purpose. No one placed Dutta's interest at heart - they just placed their own emotions and feelings in the forefront and CALLED that as "doing what's best for Dutta". Honestly, I am not suprised that the man is heart broken. SAB ne mil k jhoot bola hai - everyone but him knew. And all he's ever asked for is honesty. That's all he's ever asked for and they didn't even grant him that courtesy. *repulsed muh*
