This week's track has many posters taking a black and white position on whether Prats did the right thing in filing an FIR on Kesar's behalf and if Krishna should support her and send his parents to jail.
The bottom line is there is no cut and right, black or white answer to this one.
Prats made a decision at the spur of the moment after the police officer refused to take a compliment against SS's family members. She spoke to her Papa, her mentor and fueled by her emotions she decided to take a course of action. Some may call it impulsive others not.
Prats saw the total indifference on the faces of Amma and KN when they walked out of the room while Kesar was writhing on the floor in pain. It is outright shocking for any woman let alone any human being to think that a woman who has herself given birth to three children of her own could be so gripped by rage that she could walk away without so much as a second glance. Even if Kesar's fall had been accidental, Amma's response to it was what was shocking. I will take the liberty of stating that behavior by Amma, by any measure, is unacceptable to all of us knowing that an innocent child was killed in the mother's womb.
Krishna's world has been turned on it's head. His parents are mastefully manipulating and emotionally blackmailing him without a second thought or regrets for doing it. He is still unaware of his family's plots against Prats and several attempts already made on her life. He is dealing with having to realize that his foundation, that the two people he has loved in his own ways are even capable of such evil and vindictive behavior. It will shake his faith in his own identity when he faces the truth of who his parents have become and what drives them to act this way. He is being pulled in many different directions. He is emotionally overloaded and not ready to make decisions just yet.
As is the case in everyday life, we all love and respect our parents in varying degrees based on the nature of our relationship. Some have great relationships with one parent over the other. Each person has to define for themselves their relationship with their parents based on the sum total of their life's experiences. Submitting to a parent's will under duress does not prove Krishna loves his parents. Rejecting the parent's actions does not mean he doesn't love them either. Love is always present no matter what. Often an action is what is judged and an emotional response to it is expressed.
Once Krishna finds out his family's plans for Prats he may move out. That could be to protect Prats from harm and he'd be angry at them for wanting to hurt his wife. That doesn't mean he doesn' t love them anymore. He just doesn't accept their course of action. What greater punishment can the Takurs get than to see their ladla son distancing himself from them? Maybe there is something good that comes out of this. The Takurs realize that hurting their son won't win his acceptance of them. It may force them to reevaluate their own behavior and change their ways if they value his presence in their lives going forward. Krishna may openly draw their attention to a few truth they may not have seen before due to their jaded outlook on life.
