have not seen the epi yet but based on the update it seems that Kesar withdrew the complain and as predicted in her vulnerable state was not in the capacity to maintain the complaint Pratigya initiated on her behalf.

This withdrawal was exactly as I feared, a hasty action (though done for honourable reasons) was aborted midway.

Kesar has now moved front and centre (from her earlier spot on the sidelines) with Pratigya into the Thakur minefield.

Both these girls need to leave that house immediately and regroup. Kesar actually needs to be given some counselling but I think that at this point of time she will be very hesitant to take any more advice or direction from Pratigya as she is too weak willed

I have a feeling that efforts on Prats life will be stepped up now and scorn and harassment will be shamelessly and visibly done.

If this happens and Krish takes Prats away to protect her, who will protect Kesar now considering the unnecesary visibility in that hellhole? How will she survive now? How will Arushi suffer in the aftermath of this?

The collateral damage has the potential of being overwhelming and yet I see no visible signs of success for propelling Kesar into the legal/judicial arena.



Hope I just finished watching the episode. I was almost in tears seeing Kesar's plight. Poor woman seemed so lost and numb. The worst part is withdrawing the FIR will make her feel guilty as she wld think she has let down Pratigya, which won't help her present mental state. Oh God it was really sad

Yes pathetic state of affairs, Poor Kesar, guilty feelings were visible or not but hats off to Kesar for bravely forgetting the beating and the loss of her fifth child just 12 hours ago, She even showed the respect for her pati permeshwar 👏by refusing to utter his name and on top of it she was alert enough to repeat the lies concocted impromptu by Komalia for her to help in the withdrawal of the case. A real dose of reality practiced in the state of UP was presented so beautifully by CVs. Women in similar situation must accept this as the way of life.

All this act of extreme drama full of lies was quietly observed by the hero as a lesson in resolving the serious conflicts in a pragmatic and realistic way caused by his own mehraroo, He must went back to his mehrarroo and proudly explain to her that how proud the elder DIL has made the whole family by acting pragmatically and realistically to control the damage caused by Prats. He must warn her that she will have to pay the price for this grave mistake, though he should assure her that he will share the burden of punishment with her as they are Pati-Patni and as such one entity,

I have not seen yesterday's episode but by the comments Kesar withdrew her complaint. Sad but this is the reality of life. One can only fight when they have the WILL to fight and not before that. She knows of no alternative and is scared of the unknown. I am a firm believer of you can only help those who want to help themselves. Pratigya cant fight her battle on her behalf but give her the strength and support that she desperately needs to bring the change in her to be able to fight in the future if she wishes.

I still have doubt that this will be handled sensitively. For that I have to wait and see.

I know of an incident where my barrister friend told me that this woman finally plucked up the courage to press charges against her spouse but he was so outraged that he stalked her (as she had left him and was already in hiding) until he got an opportunity to kill her in front of their children. This is how grim a life can get and this incident is not even in India but the UK.

Before ppl judge they need to understand that observing from the outside is much easier than those living through the hell.

star,

that is true. I have heard of such instances. many of these women are afraid of their own shadows. they are so terrified by the constant battery and more to come.

Kesar is an anguthachap. no wonder she does not want to take such a bold step. she is unsure of her own capacity to live independently afterwards. she needs A husband. there is a saying better the devil you know than the one you don't?? I don't subscribe to it but I have known many people who will continue in untenable situations by subscribing to this philosophy

I was disappointed at Komal's bullying stance. Yes she has not incurred abuse. Yes, she has not lost a child or even conceived one but I think that having lived in a comfortable sasural should have helped a feel just a twinge of empathy or sympathy. I understand her fierce loyallty to her parents. yet I could not help feel disappointment.

All I can think is that if Kesar had not returned to that house after the FIR, no one could have emotionally blackmailed or bullied her. She needed to be moved to a safe haven after the FIR.

once you enter a battlefield, however hasty your decision, you do not turn around and leave - in essence you give the enemy time to regroup and come back at you refreshed stronger and with their game anew.. This is why the FIR should not have been rushed. I am afraid that something bad will happen to Kesar now and Prats will not be around to witness or help. Not sure if she will die because she is a central character and pivotal to the comparison between and educated woman and an illiterate one

want to see Krishna' reaction today now that Komal's lie, his mother's guilty looks and his father's hasty attempts at coverup and blame shifting have taken off some of the guilt blinders from his eyes re the issue (even if the blinders are mostly off because of his instinct to hear nothing negative about prats). All along he was not registering the info prats was telling him about the incident because of his guilt and loyalty to parents. now with the guilt gone rationality can bloom and it will be a mental battle between rationality and loyalty. his reaction in these matters is always delayed but when it comes it is worth watching

Sam, I am sorry as i don't understand whether you are being sarcastic or truly believe that Kesar's action y'day were an act of bravery. If you r being sarcastic I am just surprised that you can be sarcastic abt her condition and i have nothing to say as each to its own. But if u seriously mean she was brave then have to say i missed it. Because i cld only see a very scared and timid woman who has suffered a huge loss and is going thro tremendous pain. As a result of that pain she is in an utter state of confusion. She is doing what people around her are telling her. Prats told her to file the FIR, she was too numb because of the pain to say something. Then she was brought home where she was still hurting and the inhumane Thakurs played with her weak mental state by doing the melodrama. This started the guilt trip in her and made her forget her own pain and sympathise with them. Then Komal came in and the replayed da guilt card and scared her with a future which was unimaginable for her. So all i cld see was a totally confused woman which hadn't even got over her own loss and pain.
Although your sarcasm abt Krishna was clearly understood. Just have to say if his meharoo had thgt abt Kesar's mental state and her safety rather than what is right, not rushed into filing FIR and not brought Kesar back to the house, given sometime for Kesar to recover and then thgt abt the FIR I don't think a situation like that would have come up.

Krishna HAS HIT Pratigya. Once. She walked out with her father. He went after her. She refused to come back (for complicated reasons but still). She stayed away for days. The marriage was almost over. almost. She refused to go back into that house without being invited into it. She stuck to her guns till SS asked her to come back.
For Krishna, at a basic level, it was a lesson. Hit me and you won't like the consequences. A little self control will serve you better. He has not hit her again.
.
And Pratigya hasnt hit Krishna ?
.
Although I fully understand the point ur trying to make , I wished to make my personal observation here .

Is it not ok when a man hits a woman .............but ok when woman hits a man ?.

What should it ideally be ? Never hitting at all or shud one sex be exempted from using hitting or slapping as a reaction in anger ?

If so , which sex shud that be ? Shud the man's SLAP [ and im not talking of ABUSE as in ABUSE here [ the way Shakti does] ........Im merely talking of a slap as a reaction in anger ok] be regarded as something terrible while a womans slap shud be accepted as a way of life [ it happens when ur angry] bcoz she is THE WEAKER SEX , HER SLAP IS OK < IT DOESNT REALLY HURT IT ONLY SENDS OUT A MESSAGE ?

But then the point of the whole show is women r nOT the weaker sex !
Also ........Slapping occasionally as a REACTION when anger is at its peak .............is it ok if the cause is justified ? Like Pratigya slapping Angad when he mocked her . Or Krishna slapping Pratigya coz she embarassed him . If so .........WHO DECIDES IF THE CAUSE IS JUSTIFIED ? Each person has his viewpoint , JUSTIFICATION is a SUBJECTIVE FEELING !

Pratigya often resports to slaps as a reaction when angered .She has slapped Krishna , Angad . Krishna has slapped when he is angered , I have NOT seen him slapping simply for timepass . Shakti hits Kesar even without anger , just the way a cat plays with a mouse when idle too .........So I WONT consider Shakti as an ordinary man who slaps only at peak of anger .Shakti is an ABUSER , an animal .

We saw Arushi slapping . We saw Naina slapping Adarsh once . She has slapped Arushi too .
As i see it , slapping seems to be an acceptable form of reaction when ur anger is at its peak point in this serial at least , if the person slapping feels justified . Yet we saw Pratigya making a big issue of that slap as if SLAPPING was something she had never done herself or never even witnessed . That confused me .😕 Hell , even the Professor had used Slapping as a method to convey his message once to Angad . So as I saw it , Slapping is ok for them .........its not ok when they dont see the justification for the slap given to them . And this is what i object to ...........this is HYPOCRISY . Coz from the POV of the person who slaps , he is always feeling justified as justification is SUBJECTIVE and varies frpm person to person .

Do u think all the slapping situations were the same??? I mean I dont want comment on Prog. or Nainaji's slaps as they dont matter much but when K slapped P:
1. He slapped her to hide his own mistake
2. He made up such a big lie and involved both the families in it...and a lie was such which was not possible to turn into truth anytime soon.
3. On the top he made P part of his lie.
4. He forced her to be a part of his act😡
5. She made repeatative attempts to make him understand the outcome at the end of the day for such a lie
6. During this lie, he tried to force himself on her to turn it into reality.
7. When she refused to be a part of it in front of god anymore, she was ridiculed and verbally abused by everyone and he was standing there as a mute spectator😡
8. And instead of accepting his fault, he had the audacity to slap her.
And ur saying she made a big issue out of it....now as far as slapping K and A by P is concerned, you know after several attempts to make them understand...they didnt budge...K created a huge scene at P's engagement and even after everyone tried to make him understand, he turned violent with Nitin and Adarsh...he in fact dragged P in front of everyone...and ur comparing both the situation and ur calling P a hypocrite😲😲😲😕😕😕

Same with me😊.
First of all I would like make it clear that I am totally against any kind of verbal or physical abuse irrespective of the fact that wish sex commited it (this includes K's beating of A as well)....on my points above, I was no way defending or justifying Prats slap to K...I was just describing both the circumstances under it happened since u called it a hypocrisy....Slapping already happened in both the situations (though I dont consent to of it) and since it has aready happened then one cant help but look at the incidents that created such scenario....
About the situation u depicted above, offcourse it would be wrong...if P is lying about something..it doesnt give a reason to K for slapping her....if in under any situation, was P forcing K to do something?...was she literally forcing K physically to do something which is totally against his will? merely not acknowledging someone's feelings or actions dont give right to any person to slap anyone....But I would like to say if someone is using his/her physical strength to make you do something against ur will, then being physical with that person is not wrong...on of these day if and when Kesar finds the courge in her and give a tight slap to Shakti when he tries to abuse her then its totally justified....Me thinks...so when P slapped K, he was dragging her against her will and after she told him to leave her hand so many time, he didnt listen and so he got one...though once again I dont think it was right thing to do but given both the situations of P to K and K to P slap, i think the former fares a tad bit better....
P.s. no harm or hurt intended
P.P.S. I am a very calm and happy person...rarely get angry...but I try to avoid to be in a situation where either I have to or I can receive a slap from someone...I prefer to walk out of the premises if situation can get upto that level...but these two evry strong, hot headed characters are bound to do something like this and though I wont take even a single slap from anyone and be with that person anymore in the same place but I understand the very basic nature of a person plays an imp. part too...like as for guys like Shakti, beating is all he is good at...it is something he would do even at a slightiest thing whereas for men like K, its not a part of his character...it would have been an impulsive thing he might have done so given the nature of a person, second might be given otherwise TATA, GOOD BYE FOREVER for abuse for me.
Shreya.

But I would like to say if someone is using his/her physical strength to make you do something against ur will, then being physical with that person is not wrong...on of these day if and when Kesar finds the courge in her and give a tight slap to Shakti when he tries to abuse her then its totally justified....Me thinks...so when P slapped K, he was dragging her against her will and after she told him to leave her hand so many time,
.
In that case my dear , Pratigya's second slap to Angad is TOTALLY unjustified . He was verbally mocking her , she shud have mocked him back , tit for tat , VERBALLY . But no .She went ahead , and slapped him TO MAKE A POINT . See that scene . Angad had mOCKED at the Prof outside his house when Pratigya was on honeymoon , and PROF cud have ignored him and walk away , or he cud have called police , or mocked him back .........but he cHOSE TO VENT BY SLAPPING HIM TO MAKE A POINT .
I saw that Anger that takes u to a point where ur mind becomes clipped and cold and u slap to make a point as a WAY OF LIFE in this particular serial . After the RED HOT boiling point comes the WHITE HOT POINT and THack ! U slap . Thats how aLL these slaps r shown .
And As i see it ...........there is nothing BLACK or WHITE about any of the slaps that I mentioned ......each falls in the Grey category . If Pratigya was justified in slapping Angad first time WHEN HE PHYSICALLY TRIED TO STOP HER , WE see her slapping Angad second time WHEN HE DID NOT PHYSICALLY ASSAULT HER BUT ONLY MOCKED HER OR INSULTED HER . That means this area is a grey , grey one , isn't it . All that is there is the FEELING OF BEING JUSTIFIED IN ANGER .
Yet u say , just coz Pratigya insults Krishna back he shud NOT slap her , he has no RIGHT . He can slap her if SHE IS PHYSICAL with him , like dragging him etc [ the way he dragged her in the engagement ceremony .] Strange . One rule for him and one rule for her ? Why ?
As I saw it , he was not dragging in the way Shakti drags , he was dragging coz he misunderstood that she responded to his love . The slap was given when his embarassment was at peak point , not with an intention to DOMINATE . We see these reflexes and emotions in the Saxenas too ..........Naina HAS slapped Adarsh when she was EMBARASSED that he flirted with ROli when Komal pointed it out .
I repeat ............The feeling of JUSTIFICATION is dICEY . HAR EK KO LAGTA HAI KI IM FULLY JUSTIFIED IN GIVING A SLAP . So why the big drama when husband slapped ? He was not like Shakti , she knew that . Ghar chod ke jaane ki kya zaroorat thi ? Did Adarsh go when Naina slapped ?
Sajjan Singh took her by the hand AFTER she opted to leave the house on her own remember .Her decision to leave was motivated by the slap .She conveniently forgets that she is NOT AVERSE to using slapping as a means of expressing anger when SHE feels justified .
Dont bother about the hard feelings or offence .None taken . I totally respect ur viewpoint , so what if it s different .
