Hi everyone,
The forum has been a real battlefield for the past couple of days. SR versus AR versus AS, and good versus evil, wrong versus right... The current track and the new promo created a whole lot of DRAMA here. Is adultery right or wrong? Some say that it's pure love therefore it is justified; others say it can never be justified....
I have read many posts that mention how the show is conveying a wrong message to the public, and how CVs are destroying Indian values. I just thought that maybe they are not... before you jump to conclusion please to read my whole argument. I am not saying adultery is right. It will always be something wrong in my eyes, but maybe that's not the message CVs are giving. If we go back a couple of months, Sid and Riddhima got married, and we all know in which circumstances that happened. He took some pictures that went public, she tried to save the family's reputation, and that's how we got a wedding. Riddhima never married Sid willingly, but she did it for her father, her mother, her family. This marriage was nothing but a mere compromise, on both sides.
Then, Armaan came back. Riddhima was stuck in a true dilemma; does she pick her heart or her mind? She decided to go with what seemed to her socially correct, hence the speech of Dr. Shashank on how divorces are stigmatized and how the woman is always to blame. Still, at many instances the viewers felt that Riddhima never moved on from Armaan. She started to appreciate Sid's kindness and honesty, but somehow, her thoughts would always linger on Armaan. Even her husband noticed that and felt insecure, and that's why Riddhima suggested this whole remarriage track, and she got married twice to him. As we can all see in the episodes, she still thinks about Armaan.
So maybe what this whole past nine months was about not living life in a compromise, not to get married due to society pressure, because at the end you will become a victim, and the emotional turmoil inside you will lead you to do incorrect things. Maybe, what they are saying is when you chose based on society, one day you will surely have a breakdown, and thus have to suffer the consequences. Maybe, they are saying that adultery is a consequence of marriages that occurred because of society pressure, of a marriage in which you stayed simply out of fear of what society would think. Maybe, what they are saying is that never get married because of some silly pictures you know is not true, to choose the person you truly love, to live your own life without compromises in marriages. Why else would they air such a promo right after the remarriage? They wanted to show that no matter how many times you get married, if you have not accepted and if you don't love that person, it's going to turn out wrong. To understand completely a notion, we must connect the dots and create the picture. We can't simply stare at a letter to understand the world.
Riddhima got married to Sid, but somewhere inside her, her love for Armaan is eating her up. If she would of chose in the beginning properly, and not because of society, she would never have to be confused, nor would she have to commit adultery. She would have been happily married to Armaan.
This is just my opinion. Feel free to comment and post your opinions. Please do not bash.
