Ok, so I don't know why am I replying you 3 months later, but as I came across this post right now, I think I should. Having read all your posts, I understood your pov, and would like to express the problem I felt with the track and manorudh marriage.
@ul- the reason for manorudh marriage being wrong is def not rudhita romance but other factors, it's the brutal mental trauma inflicted on a child who is a kid and not even a teen. The whole track was badly done, first of all, lemme make it clear that the way I see rudhita relationship is not at all of a couple, not even a platonic couple, but a bond between a mentor mentee, and more than that a bond bw a guardian child, and he was def parenting bon in one way, which for me was the most soothing part in their relationship, now tell me if what he did was the last option? I agree he tried to make her understand why her behaviour is wrong multiple times, but did he for once explain it to her the right way? During the first convo, yes he told her that her behaviour is wrong,but did he explain her why it's wrong? Nope, instead the kind of examples he used like rail ki patri afyually added to that little kids insecurities, yes during the time he blasted her in the anniversary in front of everyone, he was def right, yes their marriage is evil, and right fully as it's a child marriage, but isn't there a way to every thing? How Do you expect a little kid to actually accept everything he said so harshly? Next he told her that child marriage is wrong, right, but did he explain her why it is wrong? Instead he each and every while publicly humiliated and insulted her, isn't he the same man who taught her the diff bw good and bad touch with such ease, then why couldn't he do something like that again to make her ralize her mistake instead of insulting her knowingly or unknowingly?
Now comes the point of his attraction towards mano, so the attraction was not a problem, the problem was that due to that, he neglected bondita, and yes he did, showing that he did the second marriage for just bon ki bhalai was actually pathetic by the makers, when that little kid fainted in the marriage venue, was made to perform the haunting rituals of a second wife, it was she who suffered, and not Anirudh (yeah, he def felt bad seeing her that way, but then he called for it), yes ani thought it was bon ki bhalai, but the decision to Marry was def influenced by something more than just bon ki bhalai, his attraction was obviously present before the marriage, he subconsciously wanted to do that, and eventually did it, now if the makers showed him accepting this, it would have def made sense, and do u find nothing wrong with the marriage? Yes, he def will not fall for bon romantically coz he's not a pedophile for god's sake, but isn't keeping a child's sautan equally problematic and disturbing to watch? Isn't he the same man who to take care of a child left his childhood love obviously coz his principles didn't allow him to practice adultery? So how is what he did now justified in any way?
The problem is not his attraction towards a woman his age, but that his attraction caused an innocent child's suffering and him neglecting the kid he was supposed to protect.
Now to what you said about mental health not being a priority when other things are at stake, then actually, nothing was at stake, yes when bon endangered her life, he panicked, but he could handle it in propoerly, he could even punish her for that, but most importantly he could have devised a way to make her realise the actual problem, she never went through the atrocities of a child marriage coz her husband was a complete angel, and this is why she needed to be told and her mistake to be realised, once she understood that her marriage was wrong, she would obviously understand that her fantacizing the marriage was wrong too, which was Anirudhs responsibility which he didn't fulfill.
Anirudhs character is def butchered coz what he did was brutal emotional child abuse of a little girl no matter his intentions were gold.
When a child asks for something wrong, we don't adopt another one to make the first one realize their mistake, a reason why this show is not realistic, not anymore during that track, aniruddh married mano, then made bon feel homeless, neglected her and actually used her jealousy and her feelings to correct her,which completely failed, even made her mum involved in this plan of hers, can u imagine the trauma she went through? How is Anirudh right in all this?
Would you really have mentally harassed your kid to make them understand something? There is a difference bw punishment and mental harassment, and mental harassment is not the way to discipline a child as young as 11. How is this not a problem? And how is her mental health not important when she's the same child who had developed a problem of bed wetting due to a mental trauma?
Regarding annulment, I had no problem with that, even now I find rudhita romance unsettling, which is the reason I'm not into the show post leap. Regarding manorama, I adored her for her devotion towards the country of course, but other than that, she was guilty like Anirudh too, she could make him realize why he's wrong with what he's doing, but😒
Now all i can say is that yes, a section of audience do romanticize rudhita, I cannot deny that, can't say about people here, this forum is actually very sane,but rest , on sm, they do, but then saying that every one against this track was against for this very reason is very wrong, people can different view points and diff reasons to support or to be against something.
