I've responded to this post as it has the questions but responds to both posts. Does it make any sense? Yes- finally there is some sense. Its bitter because its coming from you not the writers- why bitter from you? I will refuse to accept the writers have half brain capacity to explain Amu dealing with Virat as you have. Bitter as they will develop story further based on their half baked reason not your logical 1
Hadn't realised similarities in how Amu speaks to Virat & Nimmi till your point. Its interesting but mainly insulting for Virat character. He supposed to have work experience & edilucatipn also experience from 1 marriage.
Pls Can I add for me your point sort of echoes mine in last post. By Amu dealing with him this way... is she making him compatible by leading as an example in how she places herself in Ahuja family? Virat eego is getting smaller for Amu. 1st in how he apologized to bhavani. 2nd in hearing Amu advive as delusion to apologise to Ex & Rajiv- not go on violent drunk rampage. Its possible all these events from Mela were to change V A to sustain marriage & not have trouble after a love realisation. Trust & admitting to eo & themsleves what they want & feel is last step.
Is it insulting for Virat's character? I cant say if this was the writers' intent, but for me, Virat has never felt 'good enough' for Amruta - and this goes back right from the initial days, way before the divorce mu and the mela one. So is it insulting? idk. [This turns out not related, but I'll keep it: Yeah, he is supposed to have work ex, exp of being married... but even now, specifically about being married before, is there a scene, other than references to ex, that makes me think 'he was married before'? Nope.]
Is Ammu leading by example? I will say yes. But I cant say how much of it is deliberate from her side. Ammu is being Ammu... and from questions like 'Yes but wont you be doing the same thing for me?' it can be said she is showing him a new perspective... It is upto Virat if he wants to learn / change. It is pretty similar to the pygmalion thing I mentioned before. But here she is doing it by being herself, and in the pyg thing she is trying to mould Virat into her idea of a husband. And now that I think of it, leading by example sounds more possible.
He has changed - quite a bit. He is much more sober and humbled (in a good way) than he was in the initial days. It's going to be a long journey for him though.
But she can even be quite 'innocent' in doing so. She genuinely believes Virat will be doing the same thing as she is... but may learn / find out that is not the case... and thats the scary part with this. Fortunately until now, Virat shows up at the last moment... what happens when he doesn't? Either he is so pissed off about something / angry with her... and he is for once too late / doesn't show up at all... and she comes in and finds he has complaints and had deliberately been inactive - to teach her a lesson perhaps. That can be tough for her.
