I'm doing a little exercise here. It's called "RK was being Genuine". I started to think that he might be, so I decided to follow it through and see where it took me. Basically, I'm bored. And best be warned, I get a little worked up because that's what I do. 😆
If RK was genuine throughout the wedding, they'll use Sultan as a scapegoat for his next "angry" phase. Effectively communicating that once Sultan's gone the problem will be gone. Completely side-stepping the issue that, for an abuser, the reason for the anger hardly matters. But by making Sultan ("the other man" and the product of his father's relationship with another woman) the reason, it would be an obvious attempt to remove the abuser label and try to stretch the triangle on for longer, via what they feel to be RK's legitimate "redemption". I call bullshit on so many levels. But that's hardly a surprise.
I thought the redemption was fake. But what if they were simply trying to redeem RK and keep him in character at the same time? That would be the only consistent method. That means that any redemption track has to be painted as shallow and self-serving. Because that is who RK is. We are actually supposed to accept an ingenuine character's apology as being genuine because of its seemingly ingenuine nature. If cv's are using this kind of logic to write a story wherein RK is actually being redeemed, I question their sanity.

My conclusions:
(1) this is an abusive relationship (2) RK and Madhu are doomed (3) Sultan's role in this is unclear and clear. Very confusing to me at this point.
Some Issues:
(1) Cv's must have realized by now that no matter how horrible RK is, his fans will always watch. So what is the obsession with portraying him as a victim? He is the embodiment of the cycle of the abuse. And I do feel bad for the child he was. But not for the man he is. In this entire MK, Sultan, RK collision, I just know RK will be portrayed sympathetically, and it gets me worked up.
(2) I know Madhu is RK's khatputli, and get what such a relationship entails. My problem is the complete lack of a light at the end of the tunnel that is NOT RK's so-called redemption. I don't understand the point of an abusive relationship where the male is getting more sympathy than the female. I don't get a relationship where one can be a toy and still be the other's equal. In one breath they portray her as a victim, and basically label her as such, and then in the other I'm supposed to believe in him and in their love? Do cv's realize that shows about abusive relationships are supposed to be about victim empowerment and not promote abuser mentality? Don't get me wrong. I know RK and Madhu will end. But I've just realized that that is not enough for me. There are too many conflicting messages. I want RK to be shown for what he is. It is essential to the story.
(2) Show true colours. Show agendas. Show the flaws. Of both male leads. Hell, let the female lead have a flaw or two that doesn't involve being a doormat. I have said time and again I appreciate RK as a character. I like his reactions and I like how he is written. But the minute cv's try to make me sympathize with him I call bullshit. And I question their own damn intelligence. Stop fapping to your own male leads. We get it. They're tortured and good-looking. But sue me, I don't give a shit.

SR Spoiler
This all started because of the SR spoiler. I am so not happy at the reason for it not happening. Why? Sultan is not the root of all RK Madhu problems. But he's been bloody well portrayed that way for a while. Not to mention its nonsensical and serves no purpose other than to rewrite the past month of the show. It basically prolongs tracks that are hardly necessary. Its like a state of limbo. I understand that there is a SR rule in hindi serials. But this marriage is hardly a typical one. Weren't they sharing a bed just the night before? Everyone and their sister knows these two have been having sex in non-censorship land for a long time. Cv's could've chosen to operate with the same subtlety and actually created something unique. Instead they pull this card out of no where and blame Sultan for it.
PS: Role reversal amongst male and female leads is so much fun, no? Especially when it wipes away a woman's identity. As a woman (which makes up most, if not all of the fanbase), I can proudly say, I love that shit 😃😃.
