I am a little confused, I apologize. Are you saying Soham should not be held responsible for his actions and we should blame Archana and Manav? I already said that Manav and Archana could've done a better job with him but majority of the blame does fall on Soham's shoulders
at this point. If I am going to excuse Soham for his behavior just because of Varsha and Balan then India is screwed, or any country for that matter. Most killers and rapists come from bad homes. So when they get caught do we bring the parents on the stands and say well this is your fault for not giving him a better upbringing so here share his sentence. Outside of law do we say well I am not really blaming this rapist or murderer here because he probably didn't get the right life lessons like I did.
There is a difference between not knowing any other path and choosing to make a bad decision. Soham KNOWS when he is making a bad decision. He does have a sense that can judge good from bad. He understood which line should not be crossed when Purvi was kidnapped, he felt Arjun was a bad guy and played with his sisters' lives and he absolutely hated the guy. He knows things like cheating a girl is bad. He knows right from wrong! Most people, even the people who come from worst environment know a good decision and bad decision. Soham knows stealing, kidnapping is bad and a honest living is better. Soham's problem isn't with not knowing what is good and what is bad, it is with the fact that he finds it so hard to be good/civil. Criminal like behavior is his second nature and he keeps falling back to it whenever something goes wrong. I do sympathize with him for that but I will not justify any of his actions.
I am not even going to touch Ovi and Sachin again, but you think Archana's separation from Manav is worse than the things they suffered due to Soham? Which by the way wasn't even Sachin's doing because when they separated Sachin was a child so he is only responsible for the all the things that happened afterwards. Ever had a loved one kidnapped? Your life leaves your body, nothing in the world makes sense anymore. A family member of mine got kidnapped by few goons couple of years ago for ransom. You don't know what state the person is in, whether he or she will make it alive. You don't know if they will rape or torture the person you love, You know nothing!!! I would rather stay 20 years away from a loved one than have one of them kidnapped for even a day. Archana was shot, and went into coma. She could've died, she almost did die. I think 18 years of separation is much better than losing someone forever. And now there is the thing with Sachin. According to the last episode his situation was "critical" so now Sachin's life is also in danger. This is not about having a sad miserable life away from the people you love, Soham's actions literally endangers their lives.
I am not justifying anything Sachin did!! Please understand that part. I am just shocked that Sachin's behavior can be considered worse than Soham's right now. Why? Because Sachin wasn't portrayed as the romantic hero so far? Is that the reason why it is so easy to relate to Soham and so hard to relate to Sachin...
