Seeing as how Pia and Pushkar eloped, and Rano and Saahil are going to elope (giving way to another Jai-Bani aka Ranveer-Raashi), I was wondering what are legitimate reasons to elope?
Personally, I don't think there are any legitimate reasons. For Pia and Pushkar, the whole disaster could've been averted if she just hadn't been so ambitious, and if Pushkar wasn't so short-sighted.
For Rano, she was right in the first place--just because you love someone doesn't mean that he/she is right for you. Saahil is not right for her because he is controlled by his mother, and Jigz hates Rano. Rano knew that another saas-bahu saga would ensue, so she initially refuses him.
In more general terms, why would anyone ever want to hurt his/her family like that--running way not only shows a weak character, but also a flawed upringing; otherwise, the person should've been able to talk to his parents/family about it.
So, what do you guys think? Would you ever run away and get married if you had no other way and you "loved" (or so you thought in pyaar ka junoon)? How would you justify it?
