Good morning girls !!!
Thanks Annie for that update🤗. Saved me from a lot of extra frustration🤢over and above my frustrated self. I decided not to watch that episode. So not a review, just a few of my thoughts.
First off, I want to apologize in advance to Annie, Dorianne, LA who contribute their thoughts and regular readers if any, in case I hurt anybody's sentiments. Not my intention at all as I try to explain my feelings. Those of you who have known me on this forum, know that I am a staunch supporter of Abhi, Pragya as a couple and I enjoy their cheesy romance. What I now know is that I enjoy their cheesy romance only in the CORRECT CONTEXT. My moral compass must be strong that my mind is revolting vehemently when I read about what is going on. Both of them have now been reduced to being no better than the witches themselves, may be a degree better than them, but qualitatively speaking what is the difference? I refused to believe what LA had been warning for ages that Sriti is now pigeon holed into the role of a " dusri aurat". But sadly now, I admit this is the implication of all the nonsense that is happening. Let me try to explain.
Pragya, I have always liked her fair attitude, her sense of doing the general good and I am not talking about the lies and all, but her big picture was never one of callousness, but more of being fair with everybody, her immaculate sense of never crossing the line of morality. This is what makes me understand her character and forgive her shortcomings of not speaking up, lies etc , etc and etc. It is an all together different matter if she is a real person, I would not have spared her. But moving on... Here we are now, cruelly alleged of worst possible intentions of a daadi killer, kicked out as yesterday's trash, ostracized as being dead and replaced. You all know I am hopping mad at the perpetrator and had high hopes for Pragya coming back with King in company, now to lead a more independent, dignified life where she doesn't have to remain answerable or be blamed for every mishap that happens to " family". I also whole heartedly supported her not saying anything about Kiara to the dense father, as I never considered him worthy of a responsible husband or a father.
I truly hoped that she would be detached, distant with Abhi for all the betrayal, THE BIGGEST POSSIBLE by any husband. When she didn't question seriously or take him to court about his sin of bigamy, I was appalled, but still tried to make sense of it that may be, just may be she doesn't want to do anything with him anymore. I am not in agreement with this, but I could find myself respecting even this, if it were her decision. But by keeping quiet about his mxxx, she implicitly made peace with the fact that he moved on, away from her. I really don't care with who or when. It really doesn't matter to me for all that I care. So if she accepts that he is now mxxx , regardless of who he is married to, isn't it then not her responsibility to stay away from him, love or not? If she carries on like this, then what is the difference between Pragya and the vomit during the revenge marriage days. Just like vomit didn't respect Abhi, Pragya marriage then and did what she wanted to with Abhi since she felt entitled, isn't Pragya doing the same now? Believe me guys, it pains me🤢😭 to write this, to talk and slot both Pragya and the vomit in the same vein.
What about her other responsibilities other than this toxic love? Towards her child and her friend and savior for 7 years? When she had no one, struggling with a pregnancy, with a newborn, who had remained with her during the darkest days? Doesn't that amount to anything? I know she says that she is forever indebted to King, but do I see actual actions, the commitment in her deeds with King like that we witnessed over the years with Abhi and towards his blighted family? I am not saying that she shouldn't hide any secrets from King. If painful enough, and she didn't want to reminisce till now, I understand. But when Abhi being in the fray complicates matters for King, his reputation, his peace of mind worrying about crimes against Pragya, or God forbid losing his daughter, doesn't she have the minimum responsibility of letting him know, so he can be prepared or take actions to protect himself? Isn't King entitled to that much obligation from Pragya while she feels that she continues to have some misplaced responsibility still towards Abhi, who cared a rat's behind about her and her well being? Isn't King's reputation her responsibility not just as a friend but as his manager too? Especially when she knows she might be the reason for this level of animosity from Abhi and the toxic family against him?
Abhi, I am never in agreement with his actions and neither am I now. I don't know if the writers are thinking that we enjoy him making fun of the vomit after giving her the title of a wxxx. Totally against it when he did the same with Pragya and now again the same with vomit. I never thought I would say this, guys, never in a million years😭. Marriage is a bilateral commitment, when you enter into it with eyes wide open ( I reject his claims that all of his marriages are done without his marzi), I don't care, he agreed to both of them, then it is his responsibility to give the other person the due respect of a wxxx. If he didn't want the other person to be in that position, he always had a choice to begin with to say " no", but he didn't. I reject with a vehemence when he thinks he can behave any which way he wants to " just because what he entered into is not a mxxx in his mind". Well, Mister, doesn't matter what you believe, if the other person you entered into this commitment with believes it is a marriage, you better treat it as such. Even now, it repulses me when he carries on with both women. Like Dorianne said, he respectfully keeps and interacts with the vomit with the title in his house and carries on with Pragya for romance, care and concern😡 How is this acceptable? If he doesn't want vomit or doesn't consider her as his wxxx, shouldn't he be dealing with that problem first rather than stupid trolling and making fun of her? So he just gave a role reversal for both women. Why is this guy considered a hero? Would we accept our loved ones with this kind of behavior, no matter how righteous they are ? How is he different than that Nikhil guy? At least with Nikhil, he remained committed to vomit.
Lastly, to the writers, I am not religious, I believe for my peace of mind there is a Supreme power above me and I don't take symbolisms and rituals seriously. I consider religion and faith to be highly personal between me and that Supreme power. I don't wear MS or any other signs of marriage. But as an Indian who is brought up amongst these customs and traditions, it is deeply ingrained in my DNA never to humiliate these symbolisms which a lot of us hold as sacred. I am deeply disturbed, insulted and humiliated by this MS touting vomit. ( This is the hard and fast reason I decided to give the episode a miss ) If there is no quick course correction, I don't think I have any connectivity left with this show.
I, like a lot of you am left wondering what it is that is keeping Mishal in this show. He is shown as a sensitive, good father, but then in the same token was shown by that selfish 7 year old that she wouldn't hesitate to switch him over in a minute. He is truly not a husband as we all know. His friend doesn't show minimum obligatory responsibilities towards him and is busy being tangled with her toxic love and saving some stupid teenage love. So, what is he? He is barely seen these days, imprisoned in the jail, so he is taken off of the responsibility of being he only sincere parent. Why is he even in this show?
Sorry guys, I had to regurgitate all. I will be here off and on. Again, apologize if I hurt any sentiments.
Have a good weekend😊
