Viaan is NOT reactionary, it stems from his own insecurity and frankly bratty egoistic self.I am absolutely clear that what Viaan did was unforgivable and frankly all his actions in real life scenario can be construed as a harasser. In fact to me it’s not the ONS where he is the harasser, it’s the behavior afterwards - the slight taunts, the dragging her to Dubai, asking her again in the elevator. This makes him a terrible man. NONE of this is excusable.
BUTThe story of his redemption is the one I am totally getting manipulated into. For me it’s that arc that makes for interesting viewing. For the father to redeem himself is very easy, that’s why you find those scenes, boring and dragging, because all he needs to do is have a sincere apology- but in Viaan’s case, that will NEVER do.
His Personal Biases is not an excuse for the bizarre proposal, anyone with a brain would question why she needs such a large sum of money. Maybe she would usenit for illegal purposes? I don't know
Katha's attitude is not right either but Viaan messed up big time and what he did, does constitute is sexual harrassment even without sex.
However, I think he is worthy of forgiveness because he is so deeply ashamed for actions. Forgiveness is always an option unless you did something truly vile.
