Idealism vs Realism
Firstly I am new here, my name is Neet and this is my first topic post on this forum. I thought yesterday's episode raised some interesting ideas which I thought were worth sharing and discussing with you guys.
I think yesterday's episode brought an interesting dynamic between both the brothers that I only wish grows further from now on. Shivaay and Omkara are two very different beings and it is high time that their difference should be put on that table for a much-needed discussion. The conversation they both shared after Om finding out about Ridhima's lie was refreshing because it seemed logic wasn't actually being thrown out the window.
Even Anika's initial comments on being a privileged child, and the luck it brings to one's life was applause worthy. Though I have to admit Shivaay made sense wanting full name details for a cheque, which should have been reasonably responded to because he did ask genuinely. Anika's come back was fiery and much needed, except it was misplaced because Shivaay had not asked in a demeaning manner. But for me, it was what this conversation paved way for that brought excitement, which was the conversation between Om and Shivaay.
I would probably classify Om as an idealist while Shivaay is clearly the realist, they both are clearly on each side of the extremes of these positions. But their conversation was actually making sense yesterday which is what made me happy. The real value of name and family and how one uses it to define themselves by either accepting or rejecting it was an important position to stand on. I think it was important to start showing that there is an inherent difference between these two brothers and what they stand for in life, especially for Om who has to battle with his father's looming shadow over him. In a way I also felt that this would eventually become a much bigger issue between the brothers and today it was a little insight into this debate they both would share. Also I am quite glad that Om has had a consistent reaction towards his own father, because it is infuriating that the house has openly accepted Svetlana but only Om seems to be the one to have a problem with her? Rudra is a fully grown man and it doesn't bother him, and Priyanka is almost non-existent within her own house so her opinion of her father clearly carries no weight. It is just difficult to see Janhvi forgetting all the years her husband carried this extra-marital affair on for and yet only one of her children has a problem with it. Omkara being an idealist can be understood, but his brother Rudra and sister Priyanka who are both fully grown adults that still seem to have a need to be coddled by their father?
I am sorry for that rant at the end, but what do you guys think of this build up between Om and Shivaay Idealism vs Realism ?
Thanks Guys
