Current adultery just doesn't work for me as a woman, mother, sister, mentor.
It doesn't work for me too as a woman, too, so we are on the same page. That's why I said that legally married on paper, and my biggest problem is that. I wish I could elaborate more on my real body of work in this public forum but nevertheless.
Further deliberation maybe:
Disha has been introduced as a perfect foil to Raavi:
1. Someone who appreciates Shiva for who he is, and for becoming someone whom she desires _
How much Do we really know Disha? She said onvce & we are supposed feel she is the best. Raavi has never asked Shiva to be a gentleman- Shiva thinks Raavi likes gentleman. If we selectively avoid that aspect, is that fair to Raavi's character? Infact didn't raavi asked him in haveli post birthday, in reception- What has happened to you? Why your are reactions different?
She is introduced as a foil character, a common plot point for the audience to believe. That's how narratives are sketched. Foil isn't necessarily good or bad. It's a character opposite to a character already present In the narrative. She isn't better or worse than Raavi. The audience is introduced to this character, who is a foil.
A foil usually either differs dramatically or is an extreme comparison that is made to contrast a difference between two things.
In any story or fiction, a foil is a character who contrasts with another character; typically, a character who contrasts with the protagonist , in order to better highlight or differentiate certain qualities of the protagonist.
Life has been unfair to Raavi, and she isn't treated fairly. AGREED. But, that's the story na. If she were treated fairly and everything was hunky-dory, there won't be a show in the first place.
Also, Shiva-Raavi’s point of problematic contention is that their assumptions about each other don't end. They both are stuck in a loop of misunderstanding each other.
2. Someone who chooses him Out of choice and not in a forced situation or compromise.
She chooses him? She stalked him, stalked a married man. & was quick to make sure to claim him with quick peck. is this choice or is this deperation? I cannot see her as She the savior of poor Shiva. Shiva's likes, feelings are just based on what? How will he justify his likes/dislikes for Raavi to Disha?
Married for only 5 months. She enters when he is getting divorced. Saviour? Who called her saviour? Shiva isn't POOR! He is a hypocritical man who is responsible for his own misery.
3. Someone who is grounded and with her feet on the ground contrasts with Raavi, who is supposed to be an airhead.
Raavi was dreamy, but post dev fiasco- She has been completely on the ground. Else she would not return. Though she claims it is for Dhara, how come we never further think for Raavi, that part of it was for Shiva too. She has admitted her uski hona chahti hoon, she has had sleepless nights post-divorce notice. We never give lineancey to Raavi as much as Disha is being given!
Why are you reading it as Disha is better? Probably, Id request you to read it a bit more. Foil isn't equal to a better character. Foil means contrast. Raavi is my most loved character too.
4. Someone who likes bad boys as compared to gentlemen in case of Raavi. That's another story that Shiva is a bad boy only when it comes to Raavi. As per Raavi ‘woh hath piche karke Good boy ki tarah Disha se chipka tha
’
Shiva thinks Raavi likes Gentleman- Shiva never thinks why Raavi was wanting to start dosti se shuruat. Shiva claims bachapan ke har hisse mein raavi se ladai ke kisse- But still doesn't get it they were there because she finds comfort in 'merawala gunda'
Raavi was correct here- He was being a 'gentleman' with Disha. Disha likes gentleman badboys.
The whole confusion is because they both have an imaginary conception about each other, and that's the spice of their relationship. I hope I have clarified again. I give Raavi the same leniency, more than Shiva, and repeat, I don't condone adultery.
