Who said middle class girls dont do roop tera mastana? Is there an unwritten rule abt this? I didnt get the memo! 😆 In fact, in Aradhana, Sharmila WAS a middle class girl who did roop tera mastana with RK and she suffered a lot as its consequence.
Inmost Ekta shows its the middle class girls who get seduced by the handsome, rich hero and always pay for their "mistake" These shows are like morality plays which makes me wonder if India is going backwards to the middle ages but of course its mostly in the small towns and villages where these attitudes are popular.
My dear dear PAllavi, I never said taht middle girl or for that matter any girl cannot have the roop tera mastani moment. Of course, they can. But the problem is that unwed pregnancies arent that welcome in India, right? Families will rush to hide it, as Purvi is shown doing. Not only that one hardly get an Onir type, running to protect a preggo lady giving her the aura of respectability and marriage. Now that Purvi's khaand is ut in the open, I am yet to see gossipy Indian talking about her. Alas, we see Ekta's Cvs showing Onir being gossiped about, when Purvi's khaad with her jeeju could get the eyes and tongue rolling mercilessly. Sp, no there isn't a memo but are consequences that aren't shown here. And btw, these consequences exist everywhere in the world...
And of course its all about adoption, who is apna, who is paraya. Deshmukhs are so protective abt Ovi's feelings, her well-being because shes their own blood, they dont care if Purvi or even Pari live or die, if they are starving on the streets! Thats how selfish that whole bunch is! Purvi shd have never sacrificed for that selfish bunch of people! Shame on them! They dont even care for the little baby who was with them for the 1st 3 months of her life! Nobody cares for her!
Well, it might be to you that all comes to who is adopted and who isn't. But, if I have 2 girls and if 1 of my girl did what Purvi to her sister, I could have been mad as hell on her. Actually, Deshmukhs did care that is why MAnav did take the lawyer and tried saving Onir too. Maybe, you could have done aarti of Purvi, I couldn't even if Purvi was my own flesh and blood. I could have been Hell personifies that one of my daughter decided to act God and put my name and my family to shame. I could have esaily disown her. I said to Janhvi that I am old-fashioned and am proud of it, for that is my value system I am born, raised and live by. So, to each their own. Btw, even I agree Purvi shouldn't have scarificed not for Archana and now for the baby swapping, for Arjun/Ovi's marriage. Who gave her the right again to act God??
Re: Getting wet in the rain, Ovi said bachpan mein jab barish mein hum kheltey the or something like that, Arjun didnt join in she said, he would be too busy with books and studies or work at a later stage.
Implausible why? Ovi Deshmukh, spoiled rich kid of Manav Deshmukh, lived in a mansion with a Butler for Gods sake. Shes not like you or I or our kids who get wet in the sprinklers. I cannot imagine an 8 yr old Ovi jumping around in the rain in the carefully manicured lawns outside her Canada mansion. She was a Barbie Doll, more prone to playing with dolls and china tea sets. Savita would not have allowed it either. Teju probably did things like that but not Ovi...that was just contrived by CVs. This is just to point out the snarky things manufactured by CVs, not to diss Ovi Arjun friendship which I dont have doubts abt...Capisce? 😃
Well, I am going by what is being shown by the Cvs - there isn't any speculation here. So, according to them Ovi did get carefree in the rain, end of story...btw, I hardly think we can judge the 19 yrs old Ovi with what her childhood could be like, but really that is besides the point, blooper or not, we have to take what the CVs are trying to show us...as they are the director of this ship😃
And Re: Rain debate, I am a responsible Mom and wouldnt want my kids to get sick from getting wet in the Northeast rain...that would result in a sick and cranky kid, doctor visits, problems with medicating a cranky kid, sleepless nights, missed school and homework, classwork which take weeks to catch up with! Im sure most Moms would agree with me, better be safe than sorry, Prevention is better than Cure! 😃
And I have walked here in the rain before, when I didnt drive and its damned unpleasant, cold, damp and not warm at all, not even in summertime!
Well, Good to know😃, but I do live in the NE too, and I do allow my kids to get wet. I have lived in CAnada too and have drenched myself (and enjoyed doing so). So, that is individual perspective here, not a rule. Btw, I did say, showing getting wet in the rain is cultural too, and Cvs have to cater to an Indian audience - so, rain issue is really a non-issue from my POV...
