Guys as long as the girl is ok to be undeclared wife and live a life as his wife in secrecy, why will a man muster up to take a bad boy image in his mother's eyes or to that factor to the society. Though he is enjoying all the benefits of marriage without any bondage attached, the society knows him as a great director who is so dedicated to his work and creativity that he has not even thought of marriage thinking that it may hamper his profession. So he has clear and clean image in front of the society while Asha has to move from place to place to saves her image of married woman.
For that matter I don't want to blame his mother fro not accepting Asha as her DIL who have cheated her for the last 11 years. let us not forget the fact that even Asha was partner in crime as she didn't insist on meeting his mother nor she insisted on proper / official marriage and no sane person will think such girl who leads a life with a man without any bondage for 11 long years and even give birth to a daughter (god knows whether Asha has filled Ashish's name as father in Avni's school records.) will be suitable as DIL. Agree she may accept Asha's love for Ashish but there ends the buck. If you were happy to lead the life in secrecy then be it, and why do you want to make it official now after 11 years?
And about Neela, when Ashish didn't refuse the marriage proposal with her, why will she think he has ambiguity is marrying her or he doesn't love her? The man is a well known director who would have directe dmany love stories and for sure he knows on eneeds to have love in their married life and even after that if he is ready to marry her, that implies he loves her. It is a simple funda from her side or his mother's side. Wheh he didn't refuse to marry Neela and revealed the truth about his live in relationship to them , why will they think otherwise and call him bad?
So there is no point in blaming Daya, Neela or her father. The sole culprit for all this is Mr. Ashish and he needs to own up the responsibility to clear the mask. Now that he knows Neela's father has a tumor in brain and die any moment, he wait for hi to die before wedding than reveal his truth thinking after the death of Jithen bhai, he can call off the engagement. But what if the man inist to see his daughter's marriage before his death? Will he marry her to give peaceful death to that man and then break his marriage?
And about Mahesh Bhatt, I think I read somewhere that this is a part of his life, so not sure how to react.
P.S: Sorry I vented too much on this thread. Hope you don't mind.
