Fairy tale romance, Indecent proposal

Yesterday it was a contrast kind of epi. On one side we had the innocent fairytale romance of Mehbeer. Completely lost into each other. Not aware of the dark sides of family politics or the way marriages happen in the real world. Bonding with each other. I really felt for Meher when she said she wants to be with Abeer the whole life time, she was feeling secure with him. Meher who was emotionally closed had completely opened up her emotions and has given herself upto Abeer. And then her trust was broken, he went away from her. The extend of Meher's heartbreak arises from that shock. She remains Miss Akkudu not opening herself up completely because of that shock. She cant take a break down once again. She cant trust someone to the extend she trusted Abeer and feel cheated again. Now coming to second part. If Mehbeer relation was bonding of the hearts, on the background their families were making a deal for the marriage. If Taiji in the form of indirect dowry was troubling Meher's family, Suman too was at fault for listening to her. Her justification for a boy like Abeer all this is fine. She was looking at Meher's present happiness, not her future in the family which doesn't consider her Lakshmi, but doesn't leave any opportunity to misbehave with her family. The way Taiji spoke to Meher's family was quite indecent. Her sweetness of words couldn't hide the bitterness in them. And the last scene where she says " it's our mistake, we didn't inform the security you were coming". The attitude of the bride's family that to get a acha rishta they have to tolerate any nonsense from the boy's family is what makes many girls vulnerable at their marital home. Things have to be spoken at the right time. No boy is worth a girl's self respect. If the list was too huge they should have told Meher upfront that they cant marry her of the way Abeer's family expects. Most probably Taiji would have prepared the list without consulting Madhavi. If Meher had told Abeer that she cant marry him, Abeer would have raised hungama at his home. And that was the right time to ensure hungama is raised. But then it didn't happen and I guess when it happened it was too late and Meher lost the voice to stand for herself, because it became baagi hui shaadi

I am agreeing totally to what you said.

Really good point. Sometimes we think we are protecting our loved ones by hiding the truth but that inevitably causes greater harm.

If meher had been told the truth from the start and she told abeer... they never would've had to run away. Abeer wouldn't have had to start off his marriage being apologetic to tayji and thus given tayji even more power over the situation. After all tayji is the magnanimous one who forgave them for running away... How could anything she say be wrong after that?

Yeah Meher's heartbreak just becomes so much more profound given how much she trusted abeer despite herself. Especially factoring in her fathers behavior. I think it would take a long time to trust abeer again.

Shruthi agree with every line u said dear

Agree with you shruthi
Well said

See BD showed the indirect ways of asking dowry, the way society cow down before it in a realistic way. Suman can be related. With a father like Shyam an acha rishta for a girl like Meher is a distant dream in our society. So Suman didn't want to let go of what came Meher's way. And we all know Abeer is indeed a nice boy.
