Its not about blaming a woman for things. Self-doubt and self-degradation is something that people today are suffering from due to varied reasons. There is nothing about being a Pallavi or Raghav or Raghvi Stan here. Instead it is a legit good topic to be picked up and discussed and once keeping the contents of the show aside. Which I'll try to put in here.
For years Raghav faced this where he felt he was not worthy. The guy went on the path of self-destruction.
Today, Pallavi is facing this issue where she's doubting herself. And this needs to be addressed. Or this may need to depression or anxiety.
Problem is we are so use to seeking acceptance and approvals from another that we loose the touch and connect with ourselves. Pallavi didn't need to doubt her own self but it was only natural in her place to happen. Because, thats how we have been accustomed to judge ourselves through the eyes of others. Esha's arrival and Raghav's distancing is working on her subconscious level.
If you ask me, its the problem with the system and the society. As I mentioned I am not going to be addressing this based on characters as they are fictional but based on what I have seen. Even calling out names, body shaming and mocking lead to people spiral into depression where they may feel they are not worth. If it goes on, it may lead to severe issues like anxiety, split personality disorder and more. I am in people's profession so what I am talking is what I have seen. The society to a large extent has parameters set. This is beautiful. This is chaste. This is taboo. This is sin. This is virtue. This is intellectual. This is stupid. This is positive. This is negative. And if someone doesn't find themselves fitting into the mould they are chucked out. Thats why its important to work on subconscious and work.
The definitions of chastity and beauty are the worst as defined by the acceptable parameters coupled by the unrealistic beauty definitions / expectations presented by glam world and the number of marketing gimmicks by the beauty product company. Add the social media dogma and the race of likes and thumbs up! So everyone is trying to be someone they are not. Same goes with chastity... the concept of chastity is simply hyped when people especially women are advocated to choose being chaste over their own lives. Why? My phone was robbed the other day, people sympathised but the if a woman is attacked, she's presumed tainted! why? Because thats how the society defines it. We make the society, the society do not make us. We need to learn to only co-exist in harmony.
We are an impatient generation. And one instance, we write off people in an instant. Social seclusion adds to the trauma of people. We are not in their positions to know what's going on in their minds therefore, its important to extend help and empathise. Man makes mistakes, mistakes don't make man. Many people don't open up because they fear being judged. Thats why, we must refrain from that. From the beginning, its important that we are taught to love ourselves and believe in ourselves. And those who find themselves at the juncture of dark tunnels or within the tunnels, its important to show light.
