Vian and PapaG both did mistakes but Vian's fault is bigger because PapaG was hurt
What's your opinion on this
hahahha... you didn't read my long long long essay on papaG?? 🤣
so yes, he was hurt. I don't see him as a bad person but parent-adult child conflicts are complicated. I don't see it as even whitewashing. if you are a family, you have to make a choice. are you going to be pragmatic and decide to let go of your grudge or do you hold on to it? it is a choice and people make different choices all the time.
I am watching this dizi where this lady surprised me with her choice when she found out her husband had been cheating on her with her cousin brother's wife. rather than divorce, she decides that she has had too much pain and loss. basically she went into a depression after she lost her 2nd child and after a few years, the husband couldn't take it and sought solace elsewhere. so on one level, she understands him and is instead more mad at the other lady -- because she is a relative and just sees her as a user. as of now, their eldest daughter can't understand why her mother has forgiven her father so easily. but the mom simply does not have the energy to lose another person in her life or go through another conflict.
so when it comes to people, conflicts and losses, we make such decisions. it is quite possible that given aarav coming so close to death, you can ask if it is worth it to deny him his relatives when they want to get to know him. doesn't he deserve to know who his father's side of the family especially when there are no folks on the mother's side? doesn't he deserve to have a sense of apne? if that has to truly happen, then obviously she has to let go of her hurt feelings or try to accomodate papaG in some ways. not easy but folks do it all the time in family conflicts. especially in an indian setting, we don't walk away from our relatives -- it has to take a lot of really toxic conflicts for someone to say "thats it, I am done!"
also, we have to note that papaG came with the money -- if katha had picked up the call. so you can't say he didn't deliver but rather he didn't when asked immediately. if she had trusted and sought mamaG's help, the problem would have been solved differently...
as for viaan, I don't see him more at fault. like I have mentioned in other posts, things would have gone very differently if katha had simply stated what she needed the money for. instead, she let herself be misunderstood. either it was pride or she judged him or a combination of both.
basically I see them both as human and frail -- different generations but struggling with similar issues.
