Sorry Sunshine, for your aunt's experience. Whether we like it or not, perspectives do change based on our past experiences, outlook on life and where we are in life at the moment. More power to your aunt👍🏼
Hope all of you are staying safe in this horrific pandemic. I do not watch this show. I can't understand why my smartTVs AI botched this up. I have been watching a lot of forensic documentaries recently on various apps and the TV started recommending this for me on Hotstar. I took the advice and watched a few episodes. Shame on you, AI, I can't imagine why it's algorithm thought I would like this
. Ewwww........
I am going to say this upfront " COULDN'T STOMACH ADITYA AND IMILI".
The pair looked like uncle and niece and I just can't....... It seemed very much like xxxx to me ( I won't say the word in deference to the sensibilities of fellow forum members ). And then the attitude of this guy made me hopping mad altogether, and so here I am. Since, I have not watched it, please excuse my lack of detail. I thought I would just regurgitate some of my observations.
Malini, gets my full understanding. Imagine a girl who for most of her growing up years is used as a white flag bearing peace maker between her mother and father, who probably had grown up with a lot of insecurity if her mother and father will be together tomorrow or would they call it quits anytime/ any day. She probably was played like a ping-pong ball between them. Is it wrong for her to assume that she will never make the same mistakes as her parents did and will not fight or raise her voice to keep the peace between herself and her partner?
I can very easily understand this mindset.
Forget about all of this, just from the standpoint of any generic married woman. She hadn't doubted this Adi guy till now for 7 years to be philandering, did she ? So he must have never given her reason to believe it and she believes that he is invested in the relationship as much as she is. So, if she now wonders if something else is going on ( she is right, mind you ) because the guy must have given her some reason to believe this. Would any married woman or any girl in a committed relationship go and confront the guy and ask " ARE YOU CHEATING" ? I mean it is easy to say this is the most straightforward approach, but does being straightforward always work in relationships? A healthy dose of sensitivity, restraint and diplomacy is needed. Nahin?
Let us just say, for argument sake, this Adi guy is only helping this teenager on whom her tribe has committed an atrocity ( I fully believe that the forced wedding at gunpoint is an atrocity on that young girl,
I really don't care about the guy ). Then, if Malini as a wife has asked " are you cheating on me", if I am an authentic, genuine and straightforward Adi guy
, I would fly off the handle and that would have been a good bye for that relationship
just based on Malini's shak. Then Malini would have been in the wrong for being a shaki, unrestrained wife who didn't give the Adi guy his due.
Hmmmm..... so what is Malini to do?
Why should she just remove herself from the situation to make it easier for the cheater guy
? Just based on her doubt? So, she thrashes around. I would say when somebody is fighting for survival, there is no right or wrong way. She will thrash whichever way she can, and if people get hurt with her thrashing, so be it. She will erupt on people or circumstances which offer the least resistance. Like usually as a husband or wife get mad at each other for the smallest of provocations as they had a bad day at work. As a parent would scold a child when they had a bad day for whatever reason. This happens all around us. I am not condoning suicide in any way, but that definitely is a cry for help from her stand point. I don't support this, but certainly can understand her predicament. Why Imli or her mom didn't try this out and why an educated Malini tried this cry out for help, will have no answers. Each person reacts differently is all I can say. Barring this, I don't see her to be too off in how she is dealing with her confusing situation where she is in the dark about the true colors of her so called husband and best friend
and the status of her marriage
I would love to see her kick butt,
but not everybody can do that, can they? The can do or can't do attitude has nothing to do with socioeconomic status or educational status. Hopefully, she will find her feet soon and kicks some real butt
. That would be a great watch
But before that, the Adi guy needs to come clean.
Sorry, my friend, to use your space for my observations. I was just too lazy to make a separate post. I hope you don't mind.
I am no psychologist or psychiatrist, just some random observations from my side. I may be totally off.....
