So, Shakti Singh is at loggerheads with Sajjan Singh. He's taken over the Haveli and his plan for revenge has been exacted. Today, he went on and on about how he was always the neglected child while KST was the favored one.
Now, I could have seen this coming years ago. You might hate me for this, but I think Shakti was right in his statement. Somehow, I always did feel that Krishna always received preference over Shakti. Krishna was the ladla of the house, the apple of his parents and grandmother's eye. But Shakti never received that love.
Just think about it. Shakti turned out just the way his father wanted him to turn out. He's a true blue-blood Thakur. He ran his life the way his parents wanted. He got married according to their wish. While Krishna was lazing at home for years, Shakti spent his days working, and you could say he was living off his hard-earned income. Yet, he was the one who was scolded at home, he was called Katra-Naresh, Bail buddhi, Kutta... you name it, and Shakti's been called it.
So, while Shakti really did over-step his boundaries today, was he wrong in what he said? Is his belligerence really Sajjan Singh's fault? Isn't it the elders of the family who planted the jealousy seed in Shakti's mind when they continually favored Krishna over him?
I think yes. I believe that the root cause why a child starts hating his own siblings is because that child receives less love from his parents. It's very natural to feel this way. If parents favour one child over the other, there will be differences between the siblings.
What do you all think? Is Shakti right in claiming that he was less loved? Did Baba really get more preference over him?
And for all our mothers on the forum... please answer this question from your heart. Even though all parents claim that they love all their children equally (most of them do, I'm sure, my parents did 😆)... Is it possible that some parents love one child more than the other? But still expect that their children would not feel resentful?
