To be quite honest, as far as storytelling goes, I don't have a problem with Madhu being shown as this girl who would do anything for love, even to the extent of taking abuse from their man as such women do exist in real life, but I hate the CVs portraying her as strong woman who is standing up for her "love". I also hate RK and Madhu's sado-masochistic relationship being depicted as true love.
I fail to understand how someone as strong as Padmini could have raised such a weak daughter. I have very little respect for Madhubala at this juncture. Unlike a lot of abusive relationships that I have seen in real life, Madhubala has support from her family and friends; she is educated; and has an excellent example of strong womanhood in front of her i.e. her mom.
@bold. I don't have any problems with the story telling aspect either--of her falling for RK again and one would do anything for "love." My problem is how it's been developed here. I've posted about that previously, and won't repeat it here. But now there's another issue I have: the absence of Padmini scenes recently to balance out Madhu's notion that RK has changed, she loves him and will give him a chance. The absence of Padmini scenes while RK's looking "hurt" at Madhu.
Now, those Padmini scenes I talk about wouldn't have done much good on the forum since Padmini's worries and freak outs are considered "nonsense." And even from the narrative point of view, I can understand showing a few episodes giving a false boost to some of the romantic notions, only to later shatter those notions. And also, I understand this is a daily. But still, Padmini needs to be back soon, for balance.
And regarding "hurt" RK. Poor RK, he's hurt after hearing and seeing what he heard and saw. I mean, after all, he had put his all into this marriage. He was really hoping for this marriage to work and he was wanting to be happy. He may have known about her revenge plan before, and tried his best to get her to drop it with brilliant emotional manipulation. She was dumb enough to fall for it the way she did in spite of her mother, sure. So we should be feeling so sorry for poor RK. The RK who wouldn't give Madhu even a bit of space, the control freak. Poor, poor, RK. RK's heart is hurt. His love was true love this time. It was in no way obsessive or unhealthy or anything as such.
