Compliments of the Season!
After about 2-3 months (please correct me if I'm wrong), we've gotten a promo of Navya. And what is that promo? Lemme refresh it for you. Amar and Navya are sitting in a restaurant, and Amar is asking Navya to rethink about her decision to get married, cause she's an extremely capable and diligent girl and worker, and she's capable of achieving great heights in her career. Anant listens to all this from behind, and now the audience is left to wonder about what will Navya's decision/reply be.
I'm honestly glad that someone in the show raised this topic. We all have seen throughout the show that Navya is a very diligent person, and she's always been at the top of her class and always excels in whatever she does. The Bajpaayees would obviously never ask her to continue working cause of their age old values. The Mishras, being bounded by the fact that they're from the girl's side, have to bow down to whatever the boy's side commands and demands, and so they are not in a position to tell Navya to continue to work either. Anant is too enamored by Navya and the fact that they're gonna get married soon, not to mention the fact that he still hasn't sorted out his misunderstandings and insecurities with Navya; so there's no scope of him asking her to continue her work. Rits, Appy and Ranbir are her friends, and it is possible that Navya doesn't exactly take their advice seriously. Also, they know the mentality of the Bajpaayees, and they would know that suggesting such a thing would be of no use. The only person who can tell this to Navya is Amar.
Lets look at the situation from Amar's point of view. Navya has proven to be an extremely diligent worker, and he's already very impressed by her work. We know that she's barely 21. It is normal to think that a 21 year old girl shouldn't get married off, but should be allowed to work for a few years or do her PG in whatever field she's chosen. And that is precisely what Amar is trying to say. Amar doesn't want Navya to work at his firm, nor is he being selfish in any way. He's not trying to interfere in her personal life either. All he's trying to do is tell Navya to rethink her decision of getting married EARLY. Please note that EARLY is the key word here. He's not telling Navya to leave Anant and get married to someone else. He's only trying to tell her to think of POSTPONING the wedding, so that she can focus on her career. And is that wrong?
The new tagline of SP is Nayi Soch. The tagline of Navya is Nayi Dhadkan, Naye Sawaal. Now temme, if Navya and Anant get married at the tender age of 21, how is it Nayi Soch/Dhadkan/Sawaal? Navya has the right to work and/or do her PG. If she's made to get married at the age of 21, and give up a promising career, how is it Nayi Soch/Dhadkan/Sawaal? Is the show/channel trying to teach us that girls need to forego their education and career, just so they can get married and cook food in their sasuraal? Is that the main motto of a girl's life? Doesn't a girl have any right towards obtaining the best education and then using it to reach to new heights in her career? And the fact that there are viewers who want Navya to leave the job and get married, just shows the effect this show has had on the minds of the audience! I am 18, and I am in university. Now if someone tells me to finish my UG and get married at the age of 22, I will laugh on their face and tell them to stuff it! Why is it that the show has brainwashed the audience in such a way that the moment Amar asked Navya to think about her career and suggested her to think of postponing the wedding, the audience is actually sympathetic with the views of the Bajpaayees? Was this the intention of the CVs/writers? Did they want the audience to forget their morals and values, and adopt these ancient and orthodox values? What is the difference between us and the Bajpaayees if we want Navya to leave the job and get married?
I admit that Navya and Anant are in love, and they want to get married as soon as possible. Marriage is an important part of life, but we must understand that it is only a PART of life. I admit that love conquers all, but that doesn't mean you sacrifice EVERYTHING for love. No one can live their entire life just with love. We need money, education, and a status in the society to live as well.
Ladies, please ask yourselves this question. If you were asked to leave your education and career immediately after your UG (Bachelors), and get married, would you do so? Even if you love your fiance/husband a LOT, would you really want to give up your entire life to press his legs and cook food for him? Don't tell the answer out here. Just reflect over it.
This show has begun to make me question my morals and values. I'm 18, and I have plans of finishing my UG and moving on to do my PG. Being a girl, is this wrong? I know a lot of GIRLS who're CAs, PhD holders, and what not. Are they at fault? Kalpana Chawla, Margaret Thatcher, Indira Gandhi; were they wrong too? Is the society really morphing into a male-chauvinistic society, much like it was before? Then why did noble ladies like Raden Ajeng Kartini strive and work their backsides off to allow women to be educated and give them a status in the society? Cause from the way the things are being portrayed in this show and the way the audience has been reacting, it seems as if people like the Bajpaayees were right all along. It seems as if the Nayi Soch has gone down the drain.
