As many of you have already come across the recent spoilers about Madhu's plan on teaching RK a lesson (if they are true) and put forth your theories regarding the same, I thought of sharing mine as well.
Many of you think that Madhu taking revenge would leave no difference between her and RK anymore, I beg to differ. Reason being that firstly, this is not exactly revenge that Madhu is taking, and secondly, even if it is, she would never stoop to the level which RK did in order to seek revenge.
Madhubala has always been shown as a head strong girl who fights for the right thing no matter what it takes. And by taking this step, she is just being true to her character. Because this was the kind of a person she always was. Someone who never lets a bad deed go unpunished. She was never the "Sati Savitri Abla Nari" type of a character. Had the CVs shown her not doing a thing about what RK did to her and accept him the way things were, that would have been called butchering of her character. Because Madhubala is not the kind of a person who just sits there waiting for the next bad thing to happen. She plucks up her courage and fights for the right thing against all odds.
Just the word "revenge" doesn't prove that Madhu is being unfair to RK. What she's doing is completely justified. RK took pleasure in seeking revenge from Madhubala. He walked away with a content smile plastered on his face leaving her broken and shattered inside out on that Mandap. And if Madhu is now planning on giving him a taste of his own medicine, that's because he totally asked for it. She told him, explained to him time and time again that she wouldn't return to him come what may, but RK paid no heed and forcefully brought her back to his house. The last nail in the coffin was when he blatantly declared his betrayal to be just another "Nok Jhok" . No sane or normal woman would let that go so easily. Be it real life or a character. It's RK that is leaving her no choice but to take this step because maybe that's the only language he'll understand. All her other attempts on making him realize his mistakes and listen to her were futile.
Whatever Madhubala has decided on doing is not for her benefit, but for the benefit of her family and of RK too. Her Mother has brought her up teaching her to be strong and independent, and she cannot let her Mother's upbringing go in vain by bowing her head in front of all the wrong things that have happened to her. Maybe in the process she ends up hurting RK, but that hurt and pain is necessary for RK to go through in order to understand Madhubala's pain. He deserves the pain he'll get which is why I cannot sympathize with him. He destroyed what could have been a perfectly beautiful relationship for his own sadistic pleasures. Madhubala though, is doing this to make RK see the reality of the world. He cannot always pull the strings. He needs to repent for his mistakes in every way possible. Only then will I be able to sympathize with him.
RK's character wasn't the unique factor of this show, it was always Madhubala's character. She is not the common daily soap heroine who weeps over every problem she faces. She fights them off with her head held high. And for RK I only have one thing to say. As you sow, so shall you reap!
P.S: No bashing please. I want to keep my post clean!
