I was referring to A post, but it's nice of you to respond!
My only issue was that what she did with him before the kidnapping was equally wrong.... How can she accuse someone of such a heinous crime without actually seeing what happened..... Accusing an innocent guy of r**e attempt is equal to kidnapping the girl, IMO. Both shatters the character of the person in question....
I could not agree more. Both deeds are equally serious. However in my view kidnapping a girl is tantamount to r**e itself, at least in our society. It does not matter if she returns home in the same state as before. In society's eyes she is "ruined". What's more, people then question the character of victim. However disturbingly messed up that is, it's still a truth. On top of that this story takes place in a small town, doesn't it? In such a small town, social rules (?) are more closely watched and enforced on women. In a bigger city, equations are slightly different. Shiva's friends rejoice after he is released from jail. There is a dhol playing in the background, firecrackers lit, if I recall it correctly. And he is shown to be politically influential, much loved and respected man in the town. His arrest would not cause the same effect on the society as Siddhi's kidnapping. Him kidnapping her was more serious and would have caused far worse repercussions on her life.
Secondly, I think Siddhi saw Shiva holding that girl's duppatta. She saw the girl crying and kneeling in front of him. She jumped to the conclusion, wrong as it was. Siddhi is shown to be slightly self righteous. I believe she has this bias, a holier than thou attitude towards less educated Shiva. And she is judgemental too, on top of it all. It does not justify her accusing him of such an heinous crime. But I think that would be the reason. To be fair, I did not watch it all from the beginning. I watched all the episodes after the fact on YouTube. And with Color's silly muting of the videos, it's quite easy to miss things. I might have mistaken here.
Only cause he is gunda, doesn't mean it's okay for her to do so.....
Yepp.. Bang on..
Also Siddhi boasts about her intelligence.... But never even once she wondered why a guy who molested a girl in the market for petty reason, didn't ever take advantage of her when they were alone in the room.... A lusty pervert rapist could've done anything..right ?
Again.. spot on. As I said, she is judgemental and biased. She sees only what she wants to see.
To me it was funny, when she was attracted to him previously. She was all hot and bothered and when he spurned her, she epitomized "a woman spurned" :P But at least that was an honest reaction :D
