"Jab main samajh jaunga toh tumhe bhi samjha dunga" This line from yesterday's episode pretty much sums up the person that RK is. He himself is at odds with who he is & how he's constructed. Sure he has issues, has many more demons than any averagely twisted person, is egotistical & obsessive beyond a doubt, but he is no Hannibal Lector nor is he some underworld Sultan. What he is, is a confused, tormented soul living in purgatory b/w the state of consciousness of his new found feelings & denial of the same.
A good shrink would undoubtedly iron out some issues & better still, a couple of hard slaps from mommy dearest might just do him a world of good but then what would happen to Madhubala - ek ishq ek Junoon?! Isn't this her story, her ishq ,her junoon?
IMO, if anyone needs treatment or help it's her. I mean, what possessed this girl to fall in love with a guy such as RK after all he'd put her through & if that weren't all, she is now sheltering a known criminal!! Not what you'd expect from a reasonably sensible girl with a half decent upbringing.
If RK is demented, sick or obsessive then so is she, they both are like moths drawn to a flame, knowing that the flame will consume them, yet unable to resist it.
But then I reckon, that precisely is what the story is about, the new guy strutting his stuff in tight sleeves is merely a diversion...eye candy for the masses😉

As for young women getting attracted to guys like him, isn't that just the lure of a good anti-hero?
(which sorta explains why there are so many more discussions on RK rather than on the character after whom the show is named😆) In RK, I see a paled out version of the dark, demonic Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights, who incidentally has been described as one of Literature's most romantic heroes of all times!😕 Go figure😆

i know im freaky but dont freak out but im freaked now aaahhh you mentioned heathcliff. my heathcliff. the lobh of my life . the face of an anti hero in the 150 years of literature. *sigh* as much as i love rk , heathcliff is BEYOND COMPARISON. haaaye mera heathcliff. Heathcliff is what you actually call Junoon. and about girls being attracted to anti heroes? well , hell yes. 😆😆 And yes he is , was and will always be the most passionate hero in the history of literature.

Hi Mary,

Take a bow! I applaud you for writing this, that too in a hostile forum 👏 There will probably be a lot of members out there that will turn their nose up at your post, simply because they are unable to differentiate between real and reel life. But I for one shall give total respect to your post 👍🏼

You've touched upon so many valid points and conveyed your thoughts beautifully. I don't think there is anything substantial left for me to add. But still what I will say is that this is one of the reasons why I have issues with Desi serials. Why the need to glorify such actions of the hero? By doing so they are doing society no favours.

And before anyone tries to shove the "it's just a show" theory down my throat - please don't. Becuase we all know that Television is a strong medium and its content can affect the viewer, especially if it's a young girl who will begin to believe that men like RK are appealing and actions like his are acceptable.

I was already shocked to read a lot of comments during the Holi epi where some members were justifying RK's behaviour because Madhu is his wife (although she isn't) AND they kept on harping on about Sultan being a gangster. The main point isn't about Sultan, or which fan group you belong to. People need to stop being so obsessive and ignorant. And yes, CVs have a lot of thinking to do.

I have a few issues with what you said. With all respect,

I agree that desi shows have this tendency to glorify guys. Sorry if you were a fan of IPKKND, but I'll just cite an example from there. Despite Arnav's coldness, there was always hints towards what a great guy he was etc.

But if you look at MEIEJ, the CVs have never attempted to glorify RK's actions. At least, I do not think so. What they've glorified is how much of a larger-than-life character he is. But they've never tried to justify his wrongdoings, or show him as a 'mahaan insaan'. Instead, they've highlighted from Day 1 that RK is arrogant, he is not the best of people.

Secondly, I am not going to use the 'serial vs reality' argument, because i agree with you, serials do affect people.

Thirdly, I do not speak for others. But yes, Madhu is still his wife. Regarding RK's behaviour, I do not think it was right because clearly his actions were hurting Madhu, but given his character, it can be justified because that is the way RK is. He is not going to wake up 1 morning suddenly feeling apologetic. It has to be a gradual process. And the holi episodes further proved what I said. From being slightly forceful in the dance, he turned to becoming passionate, then tender. The transition of emotions were beautiful.

And lastly, whether you like RK or dislike him, it's purely your opinion and I do not want to question that. But I just want to say that we are all flawed. Some of our flaws are really obvious, while some we hide through a facade. RK is who he is and his flaws are so obvious, that's why many like to pick on him. We all probably hurt people but its just that RK does it on a much more grand, and elaborate scale. That's why he is larger than life, and honestly it's difficult really for a person like RK to exist.

I would like to let you know, I was never a fan of IPK 😆 I've always had issues with characters such as Arnav and Maan...just recently I referred to Maan's character in a different thread. Never liked the way he would drag Geet around like a rag doll.

Anyhow, I appreciate your opinion and although you may not agree with me...that's perfectly fine. Your opinion carries the same weight as mine. We all have our own perception of things. So if you have issues with what I have said, no skin off my nose!

Sorry, I shall come back later and elaborate on other points. I've already spent too much time on IF so it is time for me to leave 😆

Very very nice post!

awesome post Look at his heights of ego
i todays precap he is comparing himself to God...
i really hate RK...becaz he is the meanest and selfish man on earth ...
and whats wrong with madhu ...why she is melting ...where is her self respect ...creatives giving a wrong message by showing madhu becoming weak and RK's ego getting stronger day by day...
