Well, that's true isn't it? I mean, it wasn't like Sultan was keeping quiet and RK went and bragged about Madhu. And MB/RK are both possessive about each other; and I believe MB herself has said several times that she belongs to/with RK. MB was always in the equation; didn't sultan call MB and ask her to spend alone time with him? Isn't that the reason RK even went to meet sultan? So of course he would say that sultan might take everything from him, except MB. If you're talking about the beginning, when sultan first made the claim of being MK's son then RK didn't know that was true. At the time, it was ludicrous for him to think that his idol, the only parent who meant so much to him and his childhood, who's loss defined his nature and life to a large extent--that parent could be anything less than the idol RK thought him to be. It's difficult for anyone to accept something like this about their parents, and much more difficult for RK. Since at the time, he didn't know the truth he jumped to the conclusion that sultan was doing it for MB. Doesn't make it right, but at least he has motivation.
There is no need to elevate either character as for me, they're very similar. It doesn't matter if you or me or even padmini thinks MB is in an abusive relationship; MB doesn't think she is. And nobody has the right to force another person to do something they don't want to, even if one firmly believes it's the right thing for that person. If that were the case, the excuse would apply to RK as well since it could be said that he knew MB loved him and the only thing keeping her away was his ego. So he forced her to be with him while he tried convincing her in any way he knew that he had changed since he firmly believed both their happiness lay in them being together. Nope, that excuse wont work at all. And I prefer to see all that a particular character has done before judging him/her. RK has been evil, manipulative et al; he has pretended to be nice but still being evil; he has tortured her and even her family and there are no excuses for that. BUT he has also apologized for all of it; he tried and succeeded in convincing ALL of them that he has changed. It may not be enough for you or me, but it seems to be enough for MB and her family and since this is their story, that's what matters. It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks about their relationship; only what MB and RK do. RK has been evil; and now sultan is being evil. RK's deeds don't justify or elevate sultan's deeds and MB being in a supposedly abusive (acc to you) relationship doesn't mean she can be abused (even as a purported act) by sultan and he be justified for it.
@Blue : Yes she keeps on ranting that she belongs to RK, and frankly speaking I never wanted Sultan-Madhu either. They were good as friends, so dont think that i was rooting for them and thats why R-M doesnt interest me. Keeping that in mind, yes she keeps saying that and Iam not saying she doesnt, but then what do we viewers need to do? Sit back and say "oh she is the one who is interested in that abusive relationship, so we shouldnt bother about it and just enjoy their romance and credit this to be a once in a lifetime kind of love?" . I dont know what the writers of this show want from the viewers frankly. If they wanted the viewers to see love as the leading lady of this show keeps ranting then why the hell did they not show a proper redemption? There was a time when i was rooting for RK still doing it for a reason just like I am now for Sultan but the guy was just ruthless, had no reason by 4 slaps for his behavior. M can forget all that and claim her patidev to be the truest of all who does nothing behind the back, shall we agree to that too since the lady claims so? 😊
@Red : No, that was not the first time R used M in their equation. It was ever since Sultan entered the show...even after M tried jumping off the building (to show how much she loves him) the guy had no shame in rubbing in M and Ss face about their friendship. So dont blame S for that. That scene came much later and Rs mind is already filled with the crap that S is doing this for getting M. May be u should revisit the havan scene, if u need more explanation on that.
R can have all his reasons for not believing S and S had all his reasons to go fight the kundras for his mom. The Q today is what we support and I say , i dont support S doing this to M without a valid reason. Just like u justified Rs blabbering about S at the havan, how he tried to get S caught by the police and how he tried to belittle Ss mom too when S was claiming her rights( all this have been done by R during that Heir-Track and u said he was right in not believing S and i assumed u were ok with all that he did to S and his mom during that track)...we are saying, we will wait for Ss justification on why he is doing all that he has been doing from that fateful night.
Rest, i dont have anything to add to this convo 😊
