I hate the fact that my first post on this forum is in this war zone. I have been a silent reader here since the beginning of the show; from the first episode itself, to be precise. But I never posted anything before owing to my hectic schedule. Neither did I praise any character nor did I denigrate anyone. Nonetheless since I am free right now because of the current situation worldwide, I went through almost all posts. And I just can't contain my frustration anymore.
Let me clear it out beforehand that I'm a MishBir fan. I absolutely adore both Abir & Mishti individually as well as a couple. I like Kunal and I did like Kuhu too at some point of time. But my love for a character doesn't blind me towards their flaws; even if it is my favourites.
Now I can either write an essay supporting and justifying Mishti's actions or point out the fault in Kuhu's behaviour. But I don't think that it would make any difference. When people are downright unwilling to listen to someone else POV other than their own (just like Abir in the show currently ), it is pointless to talk to them. It would just be a waste of my time and energy.
But still I want to ask a question. When Mishti reacts to any unfair action of other characters, she is termed as egoistic or selfish. And when she doesn't react or tries to keep her calm in adverse situations, she is termed as self-righteous or 'Mahaan'. So what is she exactly supposed to do in such situations according to her critics? I'm genuinely unable to comprehend the double standards for this character. Can someone kindly enlighten me regarding the same?
