Well, I have been subtly pointing out to the mild Oedipal clinging of the men towards Dhara.
You have and they took it up a notch yesterday. It was disgusting.
That's where I have problems with the storytellings of ITV overall. The women are myopic, and are shown only catering to the family and not to individualist sentiments.
They are projected as ‘knowing-it-all’ and home-wise. The vision of their world is that of a perpetual purblind confined to the corridors of their house and their families. There are so many layers to women in normal lives, but ITV is obsessed with making them sacrificial lambs and scapegoats for any form of wrongdoings of others.
This!! I thought this show would explore more. Someone on this forum made a comment a while back around wedding track how each woman in the family can grow and learn from i e another and I was so looking forward to it. Instead we get still same, entitled brat Rishita, and Mahanta ki murat Dhara. Gosh she wasn't even this sobbing dukiyari person when their store was gone and she was fighting to keep the family intact. She was the pillar to keep everyone together and make Gaumbi's mood right after the godhbhari scene. Here, she doesn't leave a chance to play bichari with em parivar crap. I miss the old Dhara. But they have to make her apologize for me to ever connect with her in future.
The case here is that of badly raised men by both Gambi and Dhara, and their unhealthy adult obsession with their Bhabhi.
I had time and again reiterated that they are so attached to Dhara that every form of their emotional need is catered by her. They barely have space for other men or women in their lives.
Yup. It's pretty pathetic to think about it. They all should stay bhramachari their whole life in that case. If Dhara raised them well, she should have thought them importance of wife in their lives. She should have had that conversation with Dev when he was about to get married and with Shiva the night he got married. Gaumbi should have taught him about keeping balance in both wife and mother and importance of wife. If they're gonna have anymlre gyaan episodes, this is the one gyaan I am looking forward to from Gaumbi to his two brothers. Even in Suraj Bharatiya film, HSSH, they had this scene, but here all we get is weird twisted way of asking couple to be together.🙄
Marriages, though initially started as business alliances and sexual Transactions, have evolved in the modern day to seek fulfilment physically and emotionally.
The problem with these man-children is that they have no value for a relationship like marriage. They see it as an extension of their family but not as a life-changing moment for them.
👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
No woman adores a man who is that obsessed with his maternal figure. Dhara should let it go naturally rather than making it an emotional burden on anyone of them.
Correct! It's a huge 🚩🚩🚩. It's one of the first things I try to guage when I go on dates. I wish they'd shaped Dhara's character to be more like older sister bff as they grew older and came closer, instead of taking this route. You tend to share more intimate details with your siblings then mom.
It's juvenile on Dhara’s part to expect the new women to fit perfectly like pieces of puzzles in their daily life without an iota of empathy about what the other women would probably want from their marriage and lives.
Yup. Not all women are the same. They have different backgrounds, are different individuals, and hence have different wants and needs. But does she truly have that much experience and maturity to understand that? Nope. But she goes around being gyaani middle age woman.
Someone is reprimanded for wanting ‘me time’ with her husband; someone is forced to play wife to an already complex relationship. It's hugely suffocating in the name of the greater good.
It's insane even to think about the mental, emotional and physical trauma everyone is going through in this process.
Arey marriages are not to be disciplined. They are nurtured with care, love and compassion!
❤️❤️
Effing madness Dhara; cooking food separately is not going to bring people closer.
😂🤦🏾♀️
It's like telling people, “listen, you better start playing husband -wife to each other or else, I will cut you off.”
🙄
This is plain annoying and uncalled for. The relationship between Shiva-Dhara was so warm and charming once, but now it appears toxic and suffocating.
💯💯🤮
Haha, what's your name or how would you like to be addressed by?
I always enjoy reading your in-depth well, thought out analysis! Truly a treat. And this one doesn't disappoint! You've said everything so eloquently. I wish we can share this thread with makers on insta.
