Pratigya is the educated one and she read all those 7 dreams during the wedding ceremony that her father asked to read at the wedding along with Adarsh? She knows what the saat-phere's meant. She goes through the rituals of wearing a mangalsutra and sindoor and prances around like a patni when she has not lived up to her end of the bargain to treat her husband with respect. When did respecting one's spouse include public humiliation of him every chance she got. Forget about their physical relationship what she does to him borders on emotional and mental abuse by definition.
For an unpud he shows more humanity than she ever has. The only times she has ever show an ounce of caring toward him was when he was stabbed and he came hungry, she fed him on the terrace (didn't even deserve a seat at the dining table now, did he?) and when he choked on his food. So what does it take a crisis every time she sees him worthy of some attention from his wife? What does he need next? A bullet through his chest and in a hospital bed fighting for his life before she sees that he is as human as the next person and worthy of some caring, affection, and respect as a husband? Will she suddenly then see the goodness in him? Why does it take a crisis and the fear/threat of losing someone to realize that the person they claim to hate matters to him/her after all?
Why was she dabbing his forehead with a pallu when he was stabbed if he was that terrible and she really hated him? As Krishna said she probably doesn't even realize that deep down something in her is drawn to Krishna and she probably can't accept it and fights back and takes it out on him. At least that is the way I see it. She can't believe that she the educated daughter of a Prof. could be drawn to an unpud guy who doesn't meet society's social behavioral standards. Yet when she was engaged to Nitin who met all her criteria she was not drawn to him and couldn't see a lifetime with him.
She is willing to do the butler duties at her sasural but never cares to find out what makes Krishna tick as a person. Did she really think going through life with an agenda to make him pay was going to work? She is delusional to think she can get away with this behavior while living with her sasural under the same roof while they watch her treat their favorite son like yesterday's newspaper day after day. Esp. for a mother it is painful to watch her son who fought against his family all for a girl who doesn't see him as worthy of respect and affection.
Pratigya is fighting an internal battle and the fallout is hurting everyone around her. About time she takes stock of it and do something about it before she causes them more pain and harm.
when does Krishna say the bolded lines ..what episode ?? Can you give the link ..Please ??
Mera ,
Reading your post set me on a different tangent ....what if the battle that pratigya is fighting against Krishna is an indirect allusion of our sensuality ??? for ages our culture has successfully suppressed the sensuality of the woman , it has always encouraged the nurturing side of the woman and ruthlessly weeded out her needs ,sensualness..etc ...so what if Krishna represents her sensuality ,she is drawn towards it , attracted towards it ...but she has been taught that such brazenness is unacceptable ,that is not what a sanskaari lady does ,,she is horrified ,terrorized ,shamed and yet intrigued by this unfathomable emotion .. .. ...and her bigoted conservative upbringing is forcing her to fight by adopting any means available ..that is why all the abuses ,humiliations ,,it is like she is building a wall to dam her uncontrollable emotion's ....She is trying to triumph over Krishna [Sensuality] ...but every time Krishna [sensuality] rebounds
