Kool,
I am not saying that it is alright to not attend Varshu's wedding. I am reading Archana as a person/character and her virtues. What ever i write, I write standing in her position and does not mean it is correct in the eyes of everyone.Archana loves Savita and she will even jump into the lake if she says so. When people are in love, logic is out the window. Peope commit suicide over love and sensible people will call this stupidity. Love is blind, Archana loves her in-laws come what may.I have a cousin who married into a different religion. She loved her husband so much that she could not hear anyone saying anything bad about him so she disconnected herself from her parents (parents only and not her siblings). She is a very happy person and have 3 wonderful kids and loving in-laws. Her parents are coming around now but after 15 years.
It is tragedy of parents to have offsprings who forget them after a ritual called marraige , be it a boy or a girl . If boy forgets coz he is joru ka gulaam , it is a tragedy , if girl forgets coz she suddenly falls more in 'love' with her saas or perhaps calculates that since now she is gonna live here , better please them than the ones who looked after me for so long as their purpose is anyways served , their use is over , it is still a tragedy . In Archus case this calculation is NOT THERE but Love for saas ......is there ,Yet , it is a tragedy .
I know one girl ........she was only daughter of parents who got married and went to Canada . Her hubby was a most practical , hard man who for some reason had some diffrence of opinion with his father in law . The girls father wanted to visit her by spending his own money for ticket etc and come and see how she was doing .Guess what .This hubby said NO your dad shud not come here .
Her mom went into shock and lost her sanity . Today she is demented . Her father , dresses her , feeds her , gives her meds , as full day she talks all nonsense , irrelevant things .Still this girl has NOT gone to visit her mom .
She went to INDIA but did NOT visit her mom , stayed at her sasurals place . Then at a common wedding , this girl saw her parents .The old man , her dad had come there with his insane wife , so she wud feel a little better at seeing familiar faces she had known all her life .
This girl sat in another row , away from them didnt even look at them or talk to them. Avoided them , gave gift , wished Bridegroom and went away .Her old parents were looking at her constantly all the time with expectation .
Why she did this ?To please her hubby , who mints money in Canada . Her in laws wud have chamchofied to him that she spoke with her parents with whom he had a tiff sum years back and his elephantine ego was hurt .
But does this befit this girl , such behaviour ?that mother who gave birth to her went insane in grief and who is she trying to please ?
Tomorrow when those parents die wont she and hubby come to claim all theoir property , money etc ?That these guys will shamelessly take na ?
This is a sin . In the movie PARDES , the heoine Mahima tells Shahrukh one very correct thing ........for an America returned eligible bridegroom I cannot forget my old relations . To make new relationships we dont forget old ones and it is not necessary to forget old ones too .
