hello, good maarning sharning,
that whole setting up of misunderstanding was a bit off... not very cleverly handled. up to a point, not mentioning to the raizadas, i can get... especially in our world, where so many truths are nicely kept away in the name of being circumspect, etc. plus that whole payal akash thing made maters more complicated. though in a lovely way payal insisted on the truth. this interesting character also was completely lost soon enough.
khushi had gone one day, all set to tell someone at rm about it, but the mangalsutra snapped, she saw a hysterical anjali and decided not to say a thing.
at the stunning poolside scene when she had just found out about shyam, and was completely horrified, shattered, she almost told asr, then held back, thinking of his sister, and his love for her.
all that i can take and feels human, a person in a quandary.
but as things moved forward and shyam never showed any signs of backing away... how come she did not think she had to do something about it... this man is vile... as asr said, why did you not say a thing, why did you let my sister worship this man...
curiously, every word he says rings valid...
and the night of the terrace? after that long and sickening encounter with shyam, she went to her sister? she thought of asr much later.. and then decided, no need to open her mouth... huh? why?
and this mind you is the girl who jumped onto a scooter to go meet a man she doesn't know, just a short while before he will marry her sister... and persuade him to talk to his mother about dahej.
something in the story telling doesn't add up.
never did.
ah well. actually in plays and novels, plots have often been a bit flimsy, even in the famous ones, the classics... but here this not getting khushi as a character was sad.
i don't say we should have an always correct girl, in fact mistakes are fine, just fine... but how she deals with them later... that did not feel khushi. that felt like some achhi ladki/bahu of channel, a person who doesn't really exist and is perennially delusional, wrapped in ahaze of being and doing "good" to a point you are giddy with the goodness and want to run and fall at the feet of some vamp sort... which also interetingly enough is provided by the tale... without tv serial bad girls where would the good girls be... and no matter how terrible and unreal the bad girls may be and how bizarre their make up, and clothes you can breathe around them, laugh a bit...
asr's frailty makes him magnificent. khushi's supposed righteousness makes her flat somehow.
i remember when we watched it the first time, a lot of hoohaa about asr and how could he!!!! but a strange silence about khushi's actions. or rather lack of correct action.
really, i would think, we women are that above it all, huh! 😆
all of this would have been solved if they had one... just one scene, where khushi introspects... and maybe indicates in her way to him, that not telling him was not right... because apart from everything else, he matters to her so much. and she should have trusted him...
mujhe batana zaroori nahin samjha... that was the lead. when he is away, she might have had a flashback and then talked to herself as she often does.
ek baar, sirf ekbaar 😆 if she had.
oh and many felt he need not have apologised to her later... but my take... he is asr, he seeks right action... sahi. he knows he is galat. he will do something about it. felt right. bas.
