What is Junoon? - Page 2

It would be very difficult to define Junoon for me..neither am I sure where Junoon ends and abuse starts..are they really a continuum...the boundaries are blurry and relative to each individual..

But if I were to be put in words, then i guess Junoon would be something like obsession to the point of madness..to go to any extent to get what one wants..
now this could be both positive and negative..for some it would be to go to any length to win back her trust and prove to her that he is worthy of her love, be ready to sacrifice anything to prove yourself whereas on other hand for some it would mean crossing any boundaries to ensure that she is close to him, willing or unwilling just like he wants..

in the case of latter, one may very well indulge in emotional abuse to attain the end ..something like 'the end justifies the means'..

IMO what was shown on Friday was emotional abuse. and it was kind of re-inforced today..
one one hand he emotionally blackmailed her to stay back by threatening to use the knife on himself preying on her feelings for him..knowing very well that she wouldn't let any harm come to him..
on other hand, today, once he got what he wanted..once he was sure that she is staying back..he kind of calmed down..the frenzy subsided, albeit temporarily..and then he wanted to shower his care on care..however forceful it may be..

I dont think this ugly side of junoon and emotional abuse are mutually exclusive..
So they may have shown RK's junoon but it was emotional abuse aswell..atleast in my book


PS: I know there is no morality when it comes to fiction, and almost anyone can be redeemed but I would feel infinitely better it they didnt go overboard often..

to me 'Junoon' is not just passion, but obsession as well. And while i do think that the creators have gone a tad to far for the drama quotient, i don't believe at all that RK has as yet done anything that can't be redeemed. He's still human at the base of it all, flawed and in no way near perfect. For me his character's still very much intact, and i do see him eventually coming back to some of his more positive shades which made Madhubala love him at the beginning of all this.

For me Junoon is like what Meenz said...SRK from Dar...

What RK is doing, is just emotional and metal abuse!

but Shikha, isnt what SRK did in Darr, abuse aswell?

Res...Will come back tomorrow ******************************

I am not seeing any junoon as such. All I can see CV's junoon of showing violence & woman abuse

Very interesting post :)

Indeed the definition of junoon will differ from person to person and there isn't really a right or wrong answer to it. In a broad sense, I would say that when you want something or feel for something very strongly and with great passion, that is junoon.

Some people look for a literal meaning and define it as obsession. However, I personally believe that junoon is a positive word, whereas obsession carries a lot of negativity with it.

I do object to RK's behaviour being called his "junoon." I don't consider it to be junoon at all. It is boardering on madness and the mental games that he plays with Madhu can be regarded as emotional abuse.

Definition of Junoon for me is a very deep desire for somebody, an obsession to the extent of being a craze, a pagalpan or a passion.

Like there is a very thin line between love and hate, i believe there is a thin line between Junoon and Madness too.

So, yes for me R.K's behavior can still come under junoon.

Thats my POV 😊

Thank you for your answer. I did not see lust yesterday. I saw it more as knowing her emotional weakness and gaining an advantage based on that.

Can madness in love lead to ignoring the other person's pain and only think about one's gain? Can junoon lead to harming the person one claims to love?

You didn't what I meanrt- yesterday's episode wasn't junoon but today was, how can he hurt, she's hurting herself and him by staying away... he knows that... he loves her and cares for her now that he has realised her importance in his life
