'Man's Prerogative being Forgiven' - Page 2

RK's reaction of anger and hurt and that his emotions were played around with by Madhu in the name of revenge will be the foremost on his mind...the realization and remorse are not his traits...

and Madhu being Madhu, all giving, is even willing to go to the extent of seeking and pleading forgiveness from him rather than asserting to him that it was he who had induced or compelled her into such an act...had he left her to herself after jilting her and not forcefully kidnapped her, would such a thought even crossed her mind...no I don't think so...

Per se my intuitions, I would say the entire build up about RK's reaction and Madhu's desperate attempts to set things all right minus the emotional drama (which I realize are the staple for raking in trps) was congruent to the story and relevant to RK and Madhu's characteristic traits...

as for my sentiments after watching today's emotional havoc, " is it the man's prerogative to be forgiven and woman's to be punished for their misdemeanors"...

Beautiful post. And so on point. I particularly liked the bold bits.
I can't help but be relieved at how consistently the characters are being written.
RK's reaction. "Me me me." Check.
Madhu's pleading. "I'm sorry, please please." Check.

RK is incapable of growth. That much has been made obvious. And yes, Madhu dances to RK's every whim. And what is so scary about this track is that there is no one from Madhu's side to witness it. Sultan hasn't witnessed enough of RK and Madhu, doesn't know the inner-workings of their relationship well enough to know how wrong all of this is.

Someone in another thread pointed out how normally RK goes driving when he's pissed. But this time he chose to lock himself in the house. Why? So Madhu could witness his pain and he could manipulate her with it. Like others have said, the scene isn't finsihed. And it won't be until RK has induced Madhu into abandoning even the last smidgen of her identity.

I don't know if this is a gendered thing though. I don't think its been written as 'well women do this and men do that'. Although there is an element of that I guess. But their reactions seem character based rather than gendered. I hope that makes sense.

Well, that is what this serial seems to propagate and advertize, esp. even when she is in the right, or partially right or hers was only a misdemeanor or act of kindness while he, as a man can get away even with murder, without even a "sorry' escaping his lips.

And here r women, supporting and crying for that man's "pain", while a woman grovels at his feet, while they drooled over the man and enjoyed with bated breath while he shackled a woman to his furniture against her will.

It's not just about Madhu. Almost all indian show female lead tend to be maahan and aren't suppose to have any ego 🤔

Not having ego doesn't mean you become a door mat for anyone esp the man you love to wipe his feet on! Lack of ego does not mean you should have lack of self respect!! If you respect someone...then you should respect the same way for yourself too...THAT is not ego.

The more i see indian shows and the mentality here..the more i am coming to the conclusion that the majority just do not get it that in todays episode if madhu had self respect...EVEN THOOUGH she loves rk...she should have stood tall...and said...I thought it I didn't do it...and I would not have EVEN thought of it, if you had left me alone and not kidnapped me and tied me up in your house. rk I love you and i wanna marry you. I understand you feel bad but you better see YOUR part in what forced me to think this way.

Instead we have her begging him to take her back and asking for forgivness. ah well...in indian parley that is being mahan I guess.

What you say is BANG ON!!
Its about emotional manipulation. Further notice how hearing the exchange between sultan and madhu...the shot goes to rk's eyes...now VIVIAN IS A SUPERB ACTOR he is more than capable of showing a whole stream of emotions with his face and thru his eyes. So...

Why don't we see hurt or pain or anger? Lets say he is shocked...so why don't we see shock??? Why do we see a predator watching...calculating...evaluating? Waiting...ts only when madhu sees him...THAT is the "Action" call for rk...the acting begins!! And the more distressed madhu gets them more drama he does!

Contrast that with the reaction Sultan showed yesterday...on his face, in his eyes the moment he hears from madhu that she loves rk and is going to marry him for real.

HOW TRUE

RK DOESNT EVEN CONSIDER WHAT HE DID WRONG AND NOT A SINGLE SORRY

BUT GUILT TRIP DE DO MADHU KO, WHY SHE EVEN THOUGHT OF TAKING REVENGE FROM THE GREAT RK

ONLY RK HAS THE RIGHT TO GET HURT AND FEEL BETRAYED - FOR MADHU IT WAS A WALK IN THE PARK😆

ALSO RK IGNORED THE WHOLE CONVERSATION WHERE MADHU TELLS SULTAN THAT SHE CANT GO AHEAD WITH THE REVENGE AS SHE LOVES RK AND WANTS TO SEE HIM HAPPY

DEKHA JAYE TO MADHU KI FEELINGS HAVE NO IMPORTANCE FOR RK - IT IS ONLY ABOUT HIS FEELINGS, HIS ANGER, HIS HURT, HIS FRUSTRATION

BUT I DONT WANT A SAD, ANGRY, REVENGE WEDDING WHERE MADHU WILL ALWAYS BE A MARTYR AND A DOOMAT REPENTING FOR WHAT SHE ALMOST DID

AND RK BEING A MAN GETS AWAY WITH WHAT HE DID

ISSE ACHACHA SHAADI NA KARE

WANT THEM TO MARRY ON AN EQUAL FOOTING WITH LOTS OF LOVE AND LAUGHTER

Lets say in tomorrows episode or the next few...rk and madhu agree to put the past behind them and make a fresh start...do you really think seeing how rk has behaved today, that he is capable of putting madhu's feeling on par with his ever? Nope he is isn't. It is always about him first and him only. As for that monstrosity he constructed single handedly for the suhaag raat...just for madhu...yeah it sure had madhu's taste and sense of style in mind right? Or was it stamped with rk's style? hmmm?

Exactly. I love the italicized bit best. You're so observant. I have a feeling that suhag raat spoiler might be right. Either (1) RK and Madhu have sex before marriage and then he dumps her, or (2) They get married and he makes her life hell like never before. Either way, Madhu is going to have a rude awakening.

wow...such a beautiful n unbiased post...thnx for summing it up so beautifully n aptly that i really dont hv nything more to add...wus really appreciate if u analysed sultans scns too as fan of both grps read ur post

Excellent post Nafisa!! Love it.. Just would like to put in my 2 cents.. I hate male prerogatives.. I think here its more about personalities..

great post 😃
