This guy, Dharmesh was a non-stereotypical, non-conventional, multi-dimensional character; and they butchered him just to show that anybody who fights the leads are intrinsically wrong. His cutting salaries of workers maybe cruel, but is understable particularly in times of recession. Even blaming an innocent man who pissed him off for a crime he did not commit could be explained due to his innate business sense and need to protect his own hide. And he cannot be blamed for trying to separate the leads when her own family did not support them-it can be explained that he was trying to protect his SIL. But with the bigamy and the purposeful mainpulations, the character went too far. And I think I will miss this character the most in PR.
hey sowmya,
i agree with your post, but this part really got my attention. I had liked dharmesh's character because he was so REAL. i thanked CVs to cast a guy who wasnt conventionally good looking. so when vasihoo married him, she had to match him intellctually which is more challenging.
coming to dharmesh;
he was one with GUTS to stand up to archana who everyone had spoiled and gave in to her whims due to her divorce. he told her like it was, and that she was one crazy,psychotic woman in love. in that HE truly looked out for her interests. he didnt know her romance saga, and so advised her in the most MATURE and REALISTIC manner.
He made decisions for himself. he didnt take satish's opnions on manav and make them his own. he saw and judged for himself. and that man didnt like manav. to any of us, manav would have seemed OTT ( in a good way) and none of us could have truly identitfied with his self sacrificing, eternally forgiving nature.
correct me if i am wrong, BUT havent aLL of us at one time, saved our hides at the risk of others?? so what made dharmesh EVIL? ( i dont agree with his actions, neither am i justifying it)BUT any SMART businessman, would have done the same. and really, (to those who saw the show) manav DID look guilty.
even during the 2nd marriage of archu, in his own way tried to do his duty to his MIL who needed some help.
he always was pratical to me, with a sense of duty. i LIKE that. everyone DID. but to justify the craziness of the leads under the name of starcrossed lovers, dharmesh was sacrificed.
But somewhere, i just cant completely HATE him. do i want him to rot in hell: YES. but cannot hate him.
if the CVs are smart, they will give a realistic spin to this character and the story of Vaishu and dharmesh.
i wouldnt mind it, if Vaishu divorced him but got joint custody of the kid. if Varun ( dharmesh's other kid) dies, then madhuri (his other wife) can move away. and vaishu and dharmesh can find peace and forgivness.
