i was tempted to reply to these...the portion in red, i completely agree..RK's past, his traumatic childhood is no excuse to his current behavior ...but as you must have observed, every person is different..some are egoistic & arrogant than others...a lot of factors are responsible for shaping up the personality of a person..some are genetic, some are gained through experiences of life...even i understand where RK is coming from but i don't approve of it..but then i also understand that no man is perfect..every person makes mistakes , what matters is that he can understand where he went wrong and make amendments..if you think he cannot do it, it's your perspective...i can hate him for his weaknesses but i like him for his qualities which are in abundance ...everybody's parameters of love, respect and selfless love is different..nobody is capable of loving selflessly...can Madhu love RK selflessly? bec. then she will have to sacrifice her "self" and she will be called a doormat ! if RK can clearly see and define that his love is flawed, he could not love Madhu like Madhu loves him, that proves that he is AWARE of his shortcomings ...whatever is missing in their relationship can be worked out between the two of them..he may not be as compassionate as her , he may not trust people...how can the relationship b/w 2 people be perfect when the people involved are not perfect? there will be clashes, there will be differences, one wud try to dominate the other, at some point of time, they may decide to part ways..so what? the underlying truth is that they love each other and if their intentions are pure, this love will always maintain a good balance AND eventually bring them back to each other...Did you say Sultan "deserves" Madhu more than RK? just bec. RK doesn't know how to "respect" Madhu and Sultan can? is this ALL that is required for a good life ? what about Madhu's wish? what about giving a woman a respectable safe secure future ?RK is not a uni dimensional character, you don't like him, that's a matter of personal choice ...if I should ignore that Sultan is involved in criminal activities, i can safely ignore that RK emotionally abuses his people (which is not abuse IMO) and i'll pick RK anyday...a man who can mercilessly kill people without any guilt is far worse than a man who dominates ppl...Watch the old episodes again...Sultan is a "most wanted" criminal & of course all these charges against him were not slapped on him bec. of his samaj seva actitivies...he's no Robinhood..he might be a "principled" man..yes, he refused to smuggle drugs..but he himself admitted that all those who came in the way of his becoming a top notch criminal (Mumbai ka Sultan) were not left alive...just bec. there aren't any evidences against him, and he decided to "change" , doesn't mean he has a clean image...Madhu ne kaha and he changed, decides to drop his career for Madhu's sake, uske baad dono apni grihasti nahi bana sakte..he's a principled and a morally right character, he can respect women, he's Robinhood? fine...leave all the criminal activities and surrender to the police , pay for all the sins, live a respectable life..better late than never ! sad but true, just bec. he respects women, the law will not spare him? ..
I'm not saying Sultan deserves her more. Its not a competition. And she's not a prize. I believe he knows how to love. And I like him.That's all. People seem to think I like Sulbala because they're an "alternative". No. The reason I like is completely extrinsic to RK. Even if RK could love her the right way, I'd still pick Sultan for her. Because I like the the idea of the two of them more than i ever liked RH and Madhu (which wasn't much). When people asked me for reasons I gave them reasons. But Its not like I sat there with a tally-chart and wrote pros and cons of each guy. I like Sultan better because I think he's where its at for Madhu. I didn't come to that decision from various well-thought comparisons. I just like them better. And I never liked RK. These thoughts on RK were there since the show's start almost.
As far as providing a respectable, safe and secure future. Both guys could do that. Each in different ways though. Like I said sometimes its not about comparisons. It just boils down to what you like.
Madhu's wishes do matter. If she doesn't want to go somewhere, she won't go. No need to handcuff her. My problem with the current track is people's insistence that Madhu couldn't be happier. Wait and watch I guess.
I don't know why people are obsessing over Sultan's gangser status. Malik was a gangster right? You can leave that life behind. Like everyone else has been saying to me, people deserve second chances. I guess that only applies if you're RK. Then you get multiple second chances.
Who said anything about the law sparing him? If anything that is further story to explore. I'm actually looking forward to the law catching up to him. Why should that be a deterrence?
