MY HEART WENT OUT....................
to Sajjan Singh yesterday
Not the Thakur or Amma's Husband or Kesar's FIL or GD's Son
But Sajjan Singh The Dad
It is a fact - parents cannot predict what their children will become or how their behaviour and values will impact or influence their children.
In that regard, most parents today have little to no expectations. There is only the hope and the prayer that the love, trust and care showered on our children will be returned in some measure and that the children will survive, thrive and protect each other.
Yesterday, we saw a father who saw his worst nightmare come true. he looked DEFEATED .......... by his own seed and blood
His two boys - both loved, both nurtured, both protected - turned on each other
For a fight that was not theirs, a cause that they did not personally care for, a crusade that neither desired to undertake or win.
KRISHNA THAKUR
Took a stand yesterday and up went the cheers
But has his stance on the Kesar issue changed? No
Does he really care whether the remarriage happens or not? No
Does he still personally believe that this is a husband wife issue and the stand should be taken by Kesar against Shakti? Yes
So then what was the stand he really took?
As a Krishna fan, I have finally accepted that the Krishna that I took up this show for is gone forever.
He is no longer his Own Man.... ...... he is now Pratigya's Man
I know this now because his OWN STAND on the issue was expressed calmly and rationally BEFORE the altercation.
The much acclaimed stand that he took was not taken rationally or of his motivation but in the heat of passion at seeing his wife being harmed and cornered in his presence.
Though Arhaan's acting is superb and we all love seeing AN angry young man, the Krishna Thakur that we saw yesterday and will continue seeing is to me a COMPROMISE on the part of the CV's. A character that Pratigya fans will appreciate and Krishna fans will grudgingly accept.
THE THAKUR HOME
It was and is the abode of autocracy. Sajjan Singh has inherited this from his father and has bequeathed it to his sons
But as with any autocracy, it cannot survive for long.
With every generation, the unhindered mind is naturally drawn towards peace.
The rebellion grows first silently and then builds to boiling point until autocracy ebbs in silent screams.
Krishna's mind and life was mostly left unhindered by SS. It was Shakti's mind and life that was moulded, endoctrined and influenced by SS.
In my opinion, the rebellion against autocracy in that family is not being carried out by Pratigya but by Krishna. It is Krishna that will take forward the Thakur legacy not Shakti. Shakti's deeds and temperament is such that at some point of time he will be incarcerated.
Yes, Pratigya is vocalizing a rebellion but the true change is Krishna. He is being drawn to order and free speech.......... not surprisingly by Pratigya's stands on these family issues................ but by her very presence in his life.
His actions and thinking show this. He will pass his strength but also his pragmatism down to his children and that is the REAL rebellion against the Thakur Regime. Krishna's practiced philosophy of Changing HIS FUTURE rather than Battling HIS PAST will do away with the long established Thakur Autocracy.
Hope
