Prarthana is not a weak character. In fact, she is one of the strongest kinds of characters — the ones whose strength lies in quiet endurance, unshakable dignity, and unwavering love.
The mistake many make is confusing softness with weakness, or assuming that because a woman doesn’t fight back with fire, she must be fragile. But Prarthana’s strength is not loud — it’s rooted, steady, and silently powerful.
She Chooses Compassion Over Revenge
Prarthana chooses not to destroy — even when she has every reason to.That’s not weakness. That’s moral strength.
She doesn’t expose Shivansh. She doesn’t degrade his family. She doesn’t stoop to Raunak’s level.She protects her dignity without screaming for justice. That is restraint — and that takes more courage than a thousand loud confrontations.
She Loves With open heart with all her emotions naked and always verbalises it as well...and it takes courage Prarthana’s love is deep, unconditional.
Even when Shivansh hurts her, doubts her, or walks away, she never begs to be loved because she did this and that for him..She mourns, yes. She breaks inside. But she never lets go of her values. She never tries to manipulate him back. She simply waits for the truth to rise — and it always does.
That’s not weakness. That’s self-respect under fire.
She Endures Pain Silently — But Not Passively
Some think that endurance equals passivity. But Prarthana’s endurance is an active choice. She doesn’t remain silent because she’s afraid — she remains silent because she chooses peace over chaos.
She doesn’t lash out — but when she speaks, it’s with emotional clarity that shakes Shivansh to his core.
She doesn’t raise her voice.
She raises conscience.
She Elevates the Story — and Shivansh
Without her, Shivansh would never even begin to change.It is her quiet strength, her patience, her faith in him that forces him to see the mirror he’s been avoiding his whole life.
A weak character bends to others.But Prarthana transforms others — simply by being who she is.
That’s not weakness.
That’s grace in battle.
She is survivor in true sense, ever since she was born she only fought with circumstances and survived...but she did that without losing her own softness,light and optimism with no toxic traits.... That's a strength not everyone is blessed with
