Here's a topic I wanted to start up for debate, and I would love to hear your perspective.
A few posts today got me thinking about Naku and whether she did betray Dutta or not.
My contention is that she DID betray Dutta. But NOT in the way you may think. Yes, she did not help Supriya run away. That was that deamoness Kala's handiwork.
But Naku did HIDE the truth about Supriya and her boy-toy/pimp, whatever you prefer, 😕 Ravi. Two reasons she did that: 1) She wanted him to have pyaari pyaar in his life and 2) she was worried he would not believe her and that would break off HER RELATIONSHIP with him. Fair enough, right?
So, I began questioning Naku's brain matter...but I guess in love, all our brain matter stops mattering.
First argument I have: She convinced herself he would have pyaari pyar in his life, it didn't matter if Supriya could care less about him. She ASSUMED. She assumed Supriya after marriage would love him, make babies, everything would be great. I'm thinking silly girl and yes, stupid girl. For someone who understands people's natures, how can she be so blind? Blinded by love, I guess. I wanted to say look at yourself--how much you are in love with Dutta and can you turn it on and off like a lightswitch? So how can she assume Supriya, who had been pretty selfish, would do so?
Second argument: She did not want to hurt him. She wanted their friendship to remain. And that's fair. But she set Dutta up for a BIG FALL. She kept encouraging him about love this and love that, and PURPOSEFULLY LIED ABOUT SUPRIYA. In my book, withholding the truth is as much a lie as saying something outright that is untrue.
And this is the same road she is going down again, much to my chagrin. The same mistakes. I fully expect the CVs to make it interesting, but hopefully we will see that Dutta has in fact changed since that time, because I think we all agree, he has.
What do you say?
