Okay so in the precap we see Gayatri's mom snapping at her for behaving immaturely. She tells her as a commoner she has no right to love a King? Well dont I agree with her there. Of course not, love has no boundaries. It can be two people of any caste, creed, gender or even social status.
But should go we be blinded by love? I believe we shouldn't. That is what Gayatri's mother should rightly be scolding her for. It seemed like at the party she would have been ready to drink poison had it been offered to her by Ranaji. Is it right to be blinded by love? Does you dignity and self-respect go down the drain when your love? Does being in love mean dancing at your loved ones tune no matter how indifferent they are to you.

In many desi soaps (dont mean to generalize here) we see people, primarily women blinded by love. By blinded by love I mean accepting perpetration and abuse like it doesnt affect them because they are in love. Typically in the type of serials with the angry brooding young man. Its their job to love uncondtionally even if all they are receiving is abuse in return. Is loving your man worth making your dignity, self-respect, self-worth take a back seat?

I felt Gayatri some what crossed that line at the party. Not that I have a problem with drinking. Like I said its not such a taboo from where I come from. But she normally wouldn't have consumed alcohol had it not been given to her by Ranaji. Is love worth putting your principals aside for? Of course Gayatri is yet to do anything half as bad as what I have seen girls do in normal hindi tv love hate dramas. She hasn't come close enough to doing anything that would make me label her as a doormat.

But I would like to raise a general discussion here. Is it right to be blinded by love? Is love worth putting your principals aside for? This really isn't related to Gayatri's actions but more about the discussion mom and daughter are having in the precap.

In SBB segment last week D said Gayatri isnt in love with Ranaji yet ..she is just star-stucked & infatuated towards him ..
But really in show Gayatri's fangirling in too much to handle now ..otherwise she is so smart & intelligent, behaves so maturely but when it comes to Ranaji she turn into a delusional girl and starts behaving foolishly without thinking consequences like she did in party ..Really does it happen in real life 😆
I just hope she'll be out from her fangirl mode ASAP bcoz i dont i'll be able to watch if Gayatri keeps behaving likes this & later turn into 'Pyaar ki maari dukhyaari' ..

To some extent it's ok to be blinded in love but DEFINITELY not the way Gayatri is shown behaving ..ok fine, she was under the influence of alchohal which she drank unknowingly ( she says it's bitter sharbat so I assume that she didn't know it was alcohol) but the second time around she didn't have to drink it when her bhabhis were forcing her " in the name of love" ...nope...nope...that was sheer stupidity,I wouldn't call it love.
The precap took the cake...I was sure she will feel horrible once she comes to her senses but it was the opposite. Somehow I don't feel connected with this kind of love,comes across more like stupidity to me...

I don't think Gayatri loves Ranaji. I think its just a phrase of her life where she believe she love him but it just a infatuation according to me.I didn't find Gayatri's mother wrong here.not bcs whatever she said is right just because I feel she said all those things to save her daughter from the pain she will face in future if she start loving ranaji.How much may be her statement wrong but for those time it was a bitter truth. I m expecting here CVs at least will stop her ranaji deams at least for some days before her marriage get fixed with him.

OK so I have not been following ETR2 regularly...kind of bored with it right now...will start re-watching it again after their marriage but coming to the main point of your post, I have zero tolerance for spineless women who are so blinded by love that they take all the shit and abuse that is dished towards them 🤢 Being a highly logical thinker and a strong feminist, I will always choose self-respect and dignity over abuse, tears and desperation in the name of love.

~Btw this was a general statement...not related to the show as I'm not watching it currently.

Awesome topic dear Red.⭐️It is not good to be blinded by love but Gayatri is just crazy about Ranaji,his brave acts..his qualities..his personality..just like a crazy fan..and if she's calling it love..she's mistaken..but in general ppl do go blind in love and can do anything putting aside their brains..Gayatri is doing just like a crazy fan can do..and i guess this illusion of Gayatri will remain till marriage o/w why would she be ready for marriage..she is taking all wrong signals and believing Ranaji likes her ..but after marriage she'll know the reality and than we'll witness a mature Gayatri.

Blinded by love is a no no for me..there seems to be this common perception (atleast in serials and to a certain extent in real life too) that unconditional love means doing anything and everything that is asked of you..even if it means compromising (occasionally in real life too) and doing something you would not do or condemn if it was someone you don't love asking you to do it or if it was being done by someone else..
Compromising a few things, rarely even self respect to certain extent does happen for one's love..but the important part is balance and where one draws the line
Blindly trust and faith is one thing but blind following and actions in name of love, without a thought for the consequences for self and others is wrong
