I found myself all angry at the pickpocket episode yesterday and just had to get this out.
First I'm annoyed with the CVs for ruining the Kriya date! 😡😡 Yes, yes, nothing happens without a reason and moving the story forward, we're grateful for your expertise 👏👏, but for heaven's sake can you leave Kriya alone for a while 🤔🤔🤔?
Then, by turns, I was angry with each of the characters involved in the fracas.
Aman
Dude, slow down, get a grip😵. You've no call to hold Krishna's hand in that admonitory way, condescend to him, 😡😡 jump in when Pratigya's talking to her husband and trying to calm him down in her own way, and calmly ACCEPT her apology as if you didn't add your tadka to the scene. Plus, he's going to be your brother in law, some respect for the new relationships you're about to enter into would be a good idea, starting now. You were right to stop Krishna hitting the guy but not right to talk to him that way. 👎🏼
Pratigya
Lady, ideals are all very well, and I completely agree you were right to stop the crowd👏 and your husband beating that man to pulp but, in India, these cases are ambiguous 😕. Give him a thwack and let him go is as good a reaction as hauling him to the police. The system is overloaded, it is corrupt, it is inefficient and the going by the book isn't the only right answer in every situation 😒. At first I thought she had been too categorical with Krishna but looking at the scene again, I see that she was genuinely trying to make him understand😳. It was the fact that Aman jumped in that made it worse. 😕
Krishna
Boss! What? 😲😲😲😲😲😲 No self control, no sense of what to do in whose presence?😲 First, where was the need to thrash that pickpocket? 😡😡 Did he really offend your sense of ethics? Really!? 😲Living as you do in Thakur Nivas?🤢 Or were you looking for a fight? Been a long time since you had a good old haatha-paayi, is it?🤔🤔🤔🤔
Fine, Aman riled you – he gets your goat, understandable - but you want to hit him? He's going to marry Arushi, the engagement is this week, the families have just met – you can't see how delicately the relationships are poised? You can't see how your impulsive actions can impact Arushi's life? You can't hold back your natural aggression even to that extent? That is disappointing.
Crowd
Grrrrrr!😡😡😡😡😡😡 Bad behaviour – acting like a Roman audience at a gladiatorial akhada – maaro maaro! W*H?! This is precisely the sort of street justice that goes wrong. The crowd loses perspective of what the crime is, what the treatment should be just because they have one guy at their mercy, and it's all one nice tamasha. If this is the wild alternative, then Pratigya is absolutely right - call the police, let them deal with it👏.
The only people who behaved impeccably were Aman's mother (nice lady, I'm beginning to like her very much), Arushi and Komal, because they didn't utter one word! 👍🏼
Coming to a little analysis🤓🤓🤓🤓, I wonder why this scene was created like this? Obviously, the CVs wanted Krishna angry temporarily but also to think about this entire 'street justice' idea and how it is acceptable only in some cases, that too in moderation. Will Krishna come across Jai Mathur in the middle of another accident and save him from being beaten black and blue?
Clearly things are going to go wrong for the Thakurs at the engagement – the IG is going to snub SS and everyone is angry and upset. Will Krishna still feel angry at his family being snubbed, or will he take responsibility for HIS part? Every time he has encountered them, he has given Aman and his family the impression that he is as lawless as his entire family. Frankly, given Aman's love for the law and what he has seen of Krishna, Shakti and SS, it is no surprise that he has this very bad impression of them – it is to his credit that he still wants to marry Arushi.
Some insecure times coming up for Krishna 😭😭😭 – he's developing a huge chip on his shoulder about the padha-likha business. He couldn't understand the waiter, he couldn't read the menu or the bill, and finally, he came to the awareness that his understanding of justice was a lot less sophisticated than his wife's.
Anyway, we knew this was coming, sometime or the other. 🥺
