Hi!
I have been a silent reader on this forum and this is my 1st post out here, i hope I am welcome here. I must congratulate the forums for some brilliant post and thought provoking analysisš.
Ever since I have seen the promo of Kasturi's parents committing suicide I have been wondering if we can blame Robbie for this. And after seeing today's episode I don't think Robbie is responsible. Robbie is surely responsible for a major of the mess out here⦠but he cant be held responsible for Kasturi's parents attempting such a drastic step. NO, I am NOT defending Robbie for humiliating Kasturi, Ronak and their mothers.
I personally feel suicide is nothing short of a sin and even the legal system holds Suicide as a crime. And more than a sin I think suicide is a cowardly act, it cant be justified for any cause and surely doesn't warrant sympathy. Once u cant justify Suicide, you cant hold the reason behind it responsible for the suicide. I might be sounding stone hearted, but it is just that I respect Life, and i believe in respecting it no matter how difficult it may seem. If Suicide is a justified option then the whole world would end their lives in no time! And how is anyone responsible if a person decides to end his life?
It would have been fantastic if Kasturi's parents had fought it out for their self respect and that of their daughter's. They just took an easy way out. Whatever reason the father might have had it didn't seem justified to me, because if he really loved his daughter so much he should have stuck by her, she needed him the most at this point in time. Didn't he think of his other daughters before he took such a drastic step? I would have applauded the Chawla's if they held their ground and stood behind their daughter and walked out of the house if the head of the house and the other family members felt harassed by them⦠suicide is no option at all!
Now the entire blame of Kasturi's parents condition will fall primarily on Robbie⦠which is being unfair on Robbie(Not that he has been very fair). It would have been a different issue if kasturi's parents had suffered a natural health problem(an heart attack or paralysis) due to stress. Even if a person can be held responsible for someone's suicide, then I think Kasturi's Grand dad will have to be the 1st one to be blamed. Robbie is afterall an outsider⦠and hardly has known Kasturi for a month or two⦠if he mistrusting her cant be justified in any situation then how can Kasturi's grand dad who has known her all her life behaving in a manner in which he did be justified? As a family it was important for them to stand together in this moment of crisis⦠but what does the head of the family do? Disown Kasturi along with her parents⦠on what basis? On the basis of Family Values!!! What an ironyš! Does Family Value include deserting ur dear ones when calamity strikesš”? It was Bauji's taunt that led Kasturi's parents into this drastic step⦠because they weren't contemplating this action the previous day, it was only after Bauji disowned them did they take this step. I still maintain u cant blame anyone for a person deciding to end their lives⦠you cant blame someone for the other person not having the courage to battle the adversities of life.
Life is not all over if some playboy Rockstar insults their daughter without any rhyme or reason. Life doesn't end if ur parents disown you. They could have moved out that home, out of the city, out of the country and make life for their own. Their daughters are educated and they can make a career and support their parents. I don't know why Ekta has to show the parents of Daughters being so weak and imply Daughters are nothing more than a burdenš”. Kasturi's parents might have spoken against this thought many a times, but their action today proved that they really didn't mean it.
I am saying this again, I am not defending Robbie's actions⦠but holding his responsible for Kasturi's parents act is not right. As far as Robbie goes⦠this guy is going to pay and pay for all this deeds big timeš”. He is going to suffer both way. He is in pain today because of a heartbreak and a presumed betrayal by his best friend and the love of his life. When the truth is going to be out⦠the pain of a heartbreak will still remain along with immense guilt that he cant do anything about but carry it with him for life. This guy's story cant get any sadder, he will live to tell the story of a mother who chose money and status over the happiness of her own childš. When the truth is out, the guy isnt going to have anyone⦠not a single shoulder to cry on, not a single soul who can comfort himā¦not his mother, his sister, his supposed fianc, his best friend, Ronak, Kasturi and he wont even have Robbie Sabarwal to comfort him because he will be consumed in so much of guilt and hate himself for what he is done. He will not even have a career he always finds solace in....because he doesnt have anyone managing it for him anymore. This man is going to drown in a lifetime of misery⦠and well deserved if you ask me. And I really don't know who will pull him out of itā¦. the only person I can think of right now is his father because this man hasn't been a party to this current mess at all. I really hope he raises to the occasion and is a father 1st more than a freind! When i mean father, i am not saying he should support his son blindly...but make his stubborn, blinded son see the truth and stand by him as his support.
I feel the saddest for Kasturi⦠the three most important people in her life at this point in time are deserting her⦠her parents and Robbie⦠one by committing suicideš, the other by calling off their relationship as a shamš”. I wish she wades through this crisis and proves she is the strongest when it comes to character. I wouldnt like her marrying anyone just to get a temporary solution to all this mess... i want her to fight for her dignity and for heaven sake it isnt in some other man!
Having said all this Robbie should be given a chance, but only when he has repented for his mistakes... and i think his penance will be in the fact that after this he doesnt do anything that hurts Kasturi anymore. If she manages to find happiness away from him, he should let her be and if her happiness still is with him, then he better move earth and heaven to make it possible for her to accept him despite all that he has done. But whatever is the fate of Robbie-Kasturi's relationship...i want it to be Kasturi's call... ONLY Kasturi's.
I would love to read ur views on this⦠Can Suicide be justified option? Wasn't there any other way Kasturi's parents could have dealt with this crisis?
Cheersš
