I would say he only made two mistakes: One, to trust AS/Kala and leave the matter up to them, thinking that they would also do their best to protect Dutta from any heartache and let them break it to him however they planned and wanted. He could have been proactive, he should have been more proactive, but once again, for reasons known only to them, the writers made him a static character when it came to the FR. His second mistake, the bigger of the two, the one he really should be held accountable for, is the fan/flower debacle. Getting influenced by crazy Babi, he really did miss the common sense train on that one and acted out of sheer anxiety and fear. He already has, and will get punished even more yet for that I think 😆
I think that is my complaint with Baji - that he should have known better and he should have done more. I know it was the writer's choice obviously to make him act how he did during the FR track, but I am still upset with Baji.. 😆 I don't mind the whole flower-fan fiasco as I said in the previous post, because the Kala incident was still fresh and he was just trying to find a better time. But the whole wedding lie, now that I have isses with. He should have done more - he should have vehemently objected and tried to stop the wedding before the FR was complete. He should have known that Dutta doesn't like being cornered or ambushed. And like Anu said, Baji had actually suggested ( I think in the first week of November.. 🤔) that the FR be done after the wedding. See that is something I cannot digest. Baji's someone who puts Dutta before everything and this is a man who didn't hesitate from calling Dutta's fault on his face back in March. It didn't matter if Dutta felt bad or hurt if he knew that the alternative (him not knowing) would have let to far more destruction. Toh phir ab kya hua? Why was it okay to let everyone else take the reins to Dutta's heart while he sat on the sidelines in a subdued manner. He should have done SOMETHING. But instead he shopped and oggled at Madhu. Oh and lets not forget, he danced. 😆
P.S. I very much agree with you about the wedding, what it was for (Dutta's expression of respect for Nakku), and how it ended up being turned on its head because of the FR being ghussaro-fied in it. As two separate events, they are huge and right in their own places. The way they chose to play it out though, the FR ended up invalidating the (purpose and sentiment of the) wedding for many people. Which sucks. But it's spilt milk now...the show has moved forward and on, in a satisfying enough manner that those irked by the wedding have been able to look past it. Catch the episodes, hopefully you can as well!
Haina!! Gosh I so agree! The FR totally ended up demeaning the purpose of the wedding entirely. I mean it was supposed to be a symbol of respect for Nakku but it ended up being the event that served as the biggest con played on him by EVERYONE he knew! Blah! But you're right - it is spilt milk. I just happened to read the updates a week later to meri rant bhi week later hi ayi hai. Which I not realize is serving to reawaken everyone else's annoyances with the track again.. 😳😆 But I don't think I can watch the past episodes - I'd probably get too annoyed and rant some more.. 😆
