One good thing about this MMS fiasco track, prolonged and deplorable as it is, is the fact that things that were kept suppressed are coming to the surface as a result of which people are no longer in denial about the sham nature of Abhi and Pragya's marriage. The co-dependent nature of the storyline always bothered me, where Pragya was never allowed to voice her discomfort over Abhi's maltreatment for the fear of her mother's health. Abhi and Pragya had to act happily married primarily due to Sarla and Dadi. It is arguable whether this charade served to bring them together. One the one hand, it may have contributed to Abhi and Pragya bonding somewhat in the sense that sometimes when two people have to sacrifice their silly differences on account of deference for another, they find, surprisingly, that it is not hard to get along with each other at all. However, on the other hand, the continued suppression of the escalating tensions between Abhi and Pragya has taken its toll on both of them. It turned Pragya into a wary and fearful creature, a simpering victim of circumstances, who became so weak in trying to shield her mother from the horrid truth of her loveless and abusive marriage, that she lost all sense of herself, her strength, her clarity and her wits. We see Abhi becoming increasingly resentful, and vengeful against Pragya, almost childish in his rebellion. He is not really in touch with his feelings, and is still attempting to understand and come to terms with them.
The MMS fiasco was perhaps the best thing that happened to this story, which was hobbling along without much direction. Now there is no denial in the story. Dadi knows, and although she took it badly, will emerge from it stronger and in touch with the truth about her grandson's life. Sarla also is still alive and okay, despite knowing the truth, and is ready to support her daughter. Even Mitali's bad deeds are becoming known not only to Tanu and Aliyah, but Pragya as well. The close circuit TV will further unravel secrets of the how Pragya was framed. The airing of all these hushed secrets will give the storyline a new lease of life, from which the CVs, provided they take this opportunity seriously and work on it, can direct the plot away from the constant suppression, back-biting, Pragya-baiting intrigue, to really developing the lead characters.
Both Pragya and Abhi were raised by strong, women, who are dominant personalities in their own right. For Abigya to learn to relate to each other, they need to learn to relate to themselves, and grow out of the pattern of rebellion and victimization, respectively. I hope that Pragya's departure from the Mehra mansion will serve as an opportunity for both Abhi and Pragya to introspect upon their own personalities, and their relationship with each other. I sincerely hope that the CVs explore such mature angles in the plot, which is full of wonderful possibilities, rather than be obsessed with constant churning of plotting misundertandings between Abhi and Pragya.
