The Pitfalls of Societal Pressure

Hey Anu!
Nice take!
But I don't think ASR agreed for marriage for neighbor's sake...Considering the fact, others opinion doesn't worth a damn for him...He cud hav told them off...So I think its just 2 run away from Khushi... But yeah! he cannot be there every time to answer back...I m confused😕

And Khushi-Shyam-, This track is irritating and completely irrational for me
I mean where was buaji's honor when she made him tenant , A graffiti on her wall and she goes to the extent of dragging her out and demean her in front of strangers at the top her lungs...
Y only Kh's name, payal s also very much single (Bua wud hav been a better option though)

Anyways dat was a complete rant...
But the message is passed may b unintentionally😆

wait, i thought ASR agreed to the marriage because of khushi and not becuz of the neighbours (he never cared about what the society thought, and that part of neighbours nagging was added just so he could come in at the right moment after battling it out with K??) .. lol, i am more confused now.. my first SP too.. if and all he did that becuz of khushi, kudos guy!! for doing this "i am a self-made man, why should i care about the society?" attitude..
about this bua lady, i was always of the thought that she needs to give khushi more power to her own desicions because she earns for herself, more so she earns for the family... and its her own marriage..
i hate this emotional attayachar she keeps doing that "tumhaare babuji ke khushi ke liyye".. if she wants to REALLY see the babuji happy, she'd have first asked a yes or no from him; a head nod would do.. she heard shya and went for the go, like he is babuji's alter ego!!

@cinders...us, on the "same page" again...!!!!!!
@Anu: good discussion over cyber coffee *sipping java*. Agree with Sharmi here! Besides, the SP audience is looking for drama and hardly care for the message, I feel! But the sad reality is that despite all the progress and liberation, marriages are still fixed due to social pressures. Marriages of compromise rather than convenience are still a big fact of our society.

Awesome post Anu 👏

I find it pretty intriguing that two diverse people like ASR and Khushi had to bow down to societal pressure. ASR and Khushi belong to different sections of society but regardless of their social differences they are thrown into the same situation.

ASR's announcement of marriage was his way of escaping his true feelings for Khushi. But if those neighbors didn't taunt nani and La, ASR would not have thought of marriage with La.

Khushi on the other hand was deeply hurt by ASR's words. But she didn't consider getting married to Shyam because she was heartbroken. She and her family was taunted by the neighbors, then she was pressurized by her own family and was forced to feel guilty for her father's condition. That's when she remembered ASR's words and gave her nod to the marriage. But if the whole graffiti fiasco hadn't happened, would she agree for marriage despite being heartbroken? I don't think so.

So yes societal pressure acted as a catalyst behind there decisions.

As far as SP audiences is concerned, it is debatable. SP caters to a wide range of audience. People of different age groups, diverse social backgrounds and different sensibilities watch this show.

So definitely the interpretation of the situation or the subtle message delivered by the cv's will be different.

But you raised a very good issue. Good job.
