Dear Mayona,
I completely agree with you...Bani till date was a very strong and principaled character, but by making her go through so much of ridicule and insult, Ekta has shown Bani to be very weak and helpless! What I find a little disappointing about Bani is her lack of spirit, I undestand that whatever she is going through is because she is so hopelessly in love with Jai, but at the same time, Bani shouldn't compromise with her self-respect in this manner and become a door-mat for her husband to walk over anytime he chooses to!
Jai's reaction was not unprecedented or unjustified, but the choice of words he used was extremely harsh and whatever the case maybe, he had no right to malign a woman's character in this way. Agreed that Jai was shattered to know that his wife was carrying someone's else's child, but then when has Jai considered Bani to be his wife? Why does he keep talking about splitting up and then go mad with jealousy when he hears about Bani's pregnancy? How can Jai close his eyes to all that Bani has done for him in the past and blow hot and cold as he pleases?
I agree that Jai's character is of a man who has a really short-fuse and is extremely ill-tempered, but at the same time, we shouldn't forget that he is the Male Protogonist of the show...and all said and done, he has a huge fan following...just to add dramatizaton to the show doesn't mean that you will end up using words and dialouges which make you squirm in your seat! It kind of takes the sheen of Jai's character when he uses such deregatory words....against a helpless and pushed into a corner young girl!
I think Ekta should show the showdown scenes between Jai and Bani in a more sensitive manner, and for God sake, show Bani opening her mouth in her defence atleast once!
And I also agree with you Mayona, that you were just expressing your opinion, to which all of us have a right....people should remember that!š
Cheers,
MT
