Ok, so Krishna's character has taken a turn for the obnoxious.
Short recap:
He yelled at Pratigya, was snide about her worry for Kesar, ordered her to keep off that issue, was callous about Kesar's situation, became sensitive and misunderstood a simple corollary, raised his hand and then, because he didn't actually go ahead and hit his wife, he smashed a glass and left the room.
Then he sulked all day, petulantly refusing food from her hands, ignoring her every effort to mollify him. With his family, he behaved like a submissive male in an animal pack, making sure that they knew he was toeing their line, making his displeasure of Pratigya very evident.
In the night, he tried very tactlessly to make up with his wife. He told her she should have been dolled up, waiting to please him; he became annoyed when she pointed out that his behaviour now contrasted sharply with his snit all day long. (His only genuine moment, in my opinion, came when he told her her comment had hurt him) When she explained that she was merely making an argument, not delivering a taunt, he refused to be mollified. He left the room in a huff, accusing his wife that she was manipulating him sexually by withholding favours, that he (as a strong man who was a saand and not a creepy crawly) would never fall for such tactics.
And all this in one single episode!
The whole forum is upset.😕
What are the CVs doing? Where are they going with this? Was this breaking down of Krishna's character necessary?
Perhaps yes. So far Krishna has gone with one abiding principle ' zaroorat ka naam Mahatma Gandhi. In English, necessity. He has acted always, not by what is right, but by what is necessary. He loves Pratigya ' no doubt about that ' but his actions have always been about damage control. He needed to woo her, please her, get her on his side ' he did everything he HAD to.
The Pratigya-will-leave-me crisis has passed and he has a bigger crisis now ' namely feeding himself and his wife. He does not feel equipped to leave the house, he does not want to keep her in the tabela again, so he's trying the other tack ' maybe, if I try to keep P in line, my parents won't be so angry and maybe we can stay here longer.
I don't like it.🤢🤢 I don't like to see Krishna is such a weak state, trying to sidle around, make the best of a bad situation by trying to appease everyone.😕 I don't like it that he is trying to recover his lost power and authority in the house by sacrificing Pratigya. It's too ugly, too grim.
But it is realistic. Maybe it's necessary. When you inoculate yourself, you inject the very substance that you are building resistance to. Is this weakening of Krishna's character his final test? Must he even try this very degraded survival tactic before he finds himself? After he has gone through this phase, I'm hoping he will comprehensively reject the negative Thakur way of life, their ideas of cruel power at all costs, male dominance, their way of thinking, their inhumane attitudes? I'm hoping he will crash and burn, and from the ashes rise again, reconstruct himself completely anew ' not because Pratigya says so, but because HE sees that there is no other way for him to grow.

- Those who thought Krishna was inadequate earlier are now further disappointed and highly enraged.😡🤢
- Neutral observers like myself who are absorbed by the entire story are dismayed and disheartened ' after such a beautiful love story, why this character degradation?😲
- Krishna lovers, those who see the show ONLY for his sake, those who like or dislike ALL other characters based on how they're treating Krishna at the moment, those who defend him at all costs and swear eternal lubalubalub - they are bewildered and heartbroken.😕😭
