Father

Is Billu a good father?

Who is a better father?

Father 1- has the utmost faith in his kids. He has brought up his kids to do the right things. He believes that they will never do anything to bring him shame or disrespect and humiliate him. Even in case where the circumstance clearly state that his kids have done wrong, he will disregard those circumstances, and believe that his kids intentions were not do wrong. He will side with them 100% and will not stop loving them. So strong is the bond they have. Come what may, the father always believes in the power of his upbringing that his kids, to him his kids can never do anything wrong.

Father 2 – has brought up his kids with the utmost discipline and sense or riotousness. He too believes in this kids and agrees that they can and will do nothing wrong. But as soon as the evidence clearly stats that the kid has done something wrong, there is no turning back, even though the kid has done nothing wrong. There are no second chances in life for this father. So sever is the punishment that the father chooses never to forgive or forget the child's behavior.

I ask you, was Billu justified in his actions as a father? Did you expect him to react this way? Was he right in feeling the way he did? Even if Jassi was wrong in what she did, as a father wasn't it his job to forgive his daughter after she admits to her mistake? I mean her mother and grand mother really don't care about what happen, they just want her back.

Just because parents love their children, is if fair for them to subject their kids to such high standards, that if they ever failed to achieve them, they're considered failures in the eyes of their parents and are not deserving of their love.

I believed that a parent's love is unconditional. The child is loved no matter what, smart, dumb, stupid, short, talk, ugly, depressed, happy, arrogant, corrupt, dorky, right or wrong. Your child is your child no matter what, even if he commits a crime.

Do higher standards = better children=more love from their parents.

Unconditional love from parents does not mean condoning their misdeeds of a serious kind.In Billu's case he was basically right in being angry with jassi but he overreacted. he should have heard jassi's side of the story also.Nandu was there all the while with Jasi and Billu could have got some information from him.

BTW we should not forget that Jassi was a partner in the crime of creating fraudulent accounts. She was ready to launder the figures for the last GM Board meeting also. Only her misunderstanding of the Raj-Arman dialogue prompted her to do the right thing.This shows that she had violated Billu's teachings of honesty.Billu had a right to get angry.

have to agree with you completely vasamv. the bitter fact is that jassi did commit a white collar crime(let us ignore the reasons for now), it must have come as a blow to billu who saw his daughter as an epitome of honesty , hard work and dedication. he might have overreacted but the fact is she still commited the fraud(and knowingly). if you remember he asks her if she had really created fraudulent accounts(she said yes which was the truth).

as for parental pressure.....i think every parents expect thier kids to follow the law and avoid illegal activities(it is not much to expect if you think about it). how would any of you feel if you realised that your kid had commited a murder/theft/rape. would you be disappointed and storm out or would you ask him to explain himself(unfortunately in jassi's case , there is no explaination). what reason do you think she can give to justify herself?.suris are the parents who trust and stand by thier kids regardless of circumstances. i doubt thier convictions have brought them any better results. thanks to thier trust, they are on the verge of bankruptcy and the company is owned by someone else. if they had reacted like billu , they might have succeeded in saving thier company and hard work by wresting back control from armaan.
