Good morning girls !!!!
Agree with you Ann, Ambica and LA. I agree everything with Prozium👍🏼.
Prani, respect your opinion but I am still not there yet, who knows, I might get there😕. In general, I would like to believe that love and friendship can be different. Friends don't have to be lovers, no matter what they have done for each other. But the vice versa holds true, lovers have to be friends in every sense. I have a few, very close friends who would do anything for me, in a literal sense, but they would totally freak out if I told them I love them😉 in this sense😃, nor do I feel that way for them.
Yes, Annie, the writers sought out to shock us, looks like, in turn they got gobsmacked really bad😃. Whether we agree or not, to be brutally honest, the underlying theme of this show is always that of whether Abhi would either reign in his indiscretions either voluntarily ( when he is in his senses ) or if others would help him do that and we were tethered with this apprehension always. The story became a feel good one, as they seemingly upheld the sanctity of marriage by their preachings, be it only in the name of kumkum, MS etc. and in the process we found Abhi, Pragya to be in deeply falling in love with each other and some of us fell hopelessly in love with that couple💔
But when they make the lead cross that morally indefensible line, then all connections to him are lost , just like that☢️😲. He had insulted all of us viewers, as Harsha put in somewhere, for staying with them for 4 years, not to mention Pragya and daadi in that order. It took a really long time for me to accept Abhi as a hero in the first place for being disloyal to his friend ( he intentionally married a supposed love interest of his friend ), but somebody was watching over him and saved him from making that gravest sin of his lifetime. That was a very bitter pill for me at that time.
Even now, if they just showed him that he lost it with daadi's death and said some revolting things to Pragya in the spur of that moment, I probably would have swallowed it with lots of coffee, soda, antacids and whatever else over the next 2 years, if only they showed that he came to his senses and set out to look for her and truly repenting what he had done and he couldn't find her as she is in London. Like Prozium said in the past, this should have changed his outer shell to be ruthless, hard with the softness buried deep inside because of what their relationship had become. He would have been in a morally defensible place, if he got angry at her for leaving him at the time of his need or whatever it may be. But no, instead they showed us that he is happy and normal with everybody else to the point of forgetting what the 🤬has done and bring her in as a beloved💔Ewww... and marry her Ewww...👎🏼💔 That is emesis provoking. So now he failed Pragya and forget about Pragya, his own sense of love, biggg time. He failed daadi in the process as well, as he knows fully well that daadi wanted him to stay away from this creature with all her heart. So once he crossed that morally reprehensible line, I lost all connect with him as a viewer and could care less as to what his life had become or how sad he is or how he is still ruminating about Pragya being bewafaa or a mistake in his life😡💔 There is absolutely no soul searching on the part of this guy, who should have known her inside out, he is probably the closest to her to know what her essence is and how she would never have compromised daadi if she could help it. Only the week before we heard him say to the police guy in jail " how one would ladh bhi jaata and mar bhi jaata" for his love. He did neither here, instead maar diya usko💔👎🏼 and then went on to do the unthinkable. So how can you connect with a guy like this? Pardon me for saying this, but would we accept such behavior from our life partners in real life? Even though we know this is fictional, I am sure we do apply it to real life at some level, heck I apply it to real life all the time and get mad. Then, how do you defend this guy at any level? I am sorry, I find his actions unjustifiable and indefensible any which way I look at it.
There isn't anything he doesn't know about the sleazy vamp, except for the fact that she also was behind daadi's death. But that can't be a be all, end all revelation, he knows how low that creature can fall and that should have been enough for him to keep her at bay. No matter what the situation they show, I would have expected my hero to say " I am true to my love ( may be not to Pragya ) and would never do anything to disrespect that" and marrying that vulgarity " NEVER IN MY LIFETIME". But we didn't get any of that. This totally puts him at risk of being false, fake and totally superficial in the last 4 years of his married life.
So people like me who were in this for this couple, Abhi, Pragya are so disillusioned now to the point of saying I don't want this guy anywhere near her life. What about next time? If somebody makes up a convincing enough story, is he going to do the repeat of throwing her out😡😲💔. Which woman would want to live in Pragya's shoes not knowing exactly what her place is in his life, whether it is the most important one or she is a worthless mistake😡😭👎🏼
More later. Sorry Ann, if I hijacked the discussion.
