Blackmail or quid pro quo?

I am sorry. I dont find anything wrong in what Jagya has done by asking his family for the share of the property. I really dont.
I also dont understand why it needs to be considered blackmail. Blackmail I feel is when you threaten to expose someone if they dont give you something.
I mean why cant it be a simple quid pro quo? You want something, and I will give it to you if you give me back something in return.
Dont we all exchange favours once in a while?
Jagya has not asked for anandi's divorce. Bhairon and dadisa wanted his signature on it. In return for his signature, why should he not ask them for his share of the property? They are the ones who want the divorce.
I would have done it in his place. 😆

Wait...are you being serious?😆 wow ok lol umm well in general circumstances it wouldn't be wrong but because Jogia has not been nice to his family it is a bit rich of him to ask them for something he has not earned I guess. But I dont think Singhs are all innocent either. It would have been interesting to know what they would have done if he would have asked for an amicable divorce before marrying Gauri. Would they have broken ties with him then?

Hi SRKLuvr,
yes, my thought process is based on irritation with the singhs.
I think they are taking the whole thing too too far.
Yes, Jagya has made very serious mistakes in the way he handled his affair and subsequent marriage with gauri.
and
Yes, he did turn down their hospital which they had hopes and aspirations for him to run.
But, I think that a lot of these mistakes came to pass because he felt suffocated in the environment that his parents were providing him -- a child marriage and a hospital.
I mean it would only be appropriate if sumitra and bhairon had made a contract with him before he was born saying "you will abide by everything we say, marry whom we choose and do work in Jayetsar only" and he had agreed to it.
It's not like children choose to come into this world. Parents foist life on to them. And therefore, children are not under obligation to do *exactly* what parents want, nor are they obligated to carry them for old age etc...unless they want to and feel good about caring for their parents. That compulsion should not be there.
Obviously every human being craves some degree of freedom and has their own bent.
I can understand the initial silent treatment meted out to jagya, but stretching it out on a life long basis seems a little too much for me.
If bhairon is now saddled with anandi's responsibility of finding a groom, then very good!! After all, he did do the child marriage despite being an educated responsible man in society. It is not that he was in support of child marriage. He was just spineless to stand up to his mother/dadisa.
He is 80% responsible for anandi's state today. Jagya can be 20% responsible.
Bhairon making faces all the time, glaring at him with contempt filled eyes makes me sick. I really dislike it.

Bhairon too can in turn ask to him to silently sign the papers else he would make Anandi file a complaint against him for living with another woman in Mumbai.

anyway, the issue is not what bhairon can do in return.
the issue is whether jagya is blackmailing or just seeking a quid pro quo.

Singh family might give Hospital to Jagya based on the conditions if he runs the hospital of his own.
So that he will stay back in jetsar and see marrige arrangements of anandi as well.👏👏👏👏👏👏

Don't know if they will want his screeching wife within screeching distance in Jaitser. Plus she has a plum job in the city and will look down on this "gawar" shahar and even more "gawar" hospital with so much contempt. NO - JG won't want to accept this offer. And also - what about LalSingh ? These guys won't want to throw out LS and Abhishek out just like that !

But I WUD like to see Jagat and Gauri watch the decorations and tayyari for A's second marriage. They shud see what all she is getting in terms of love, affection, acceptance and smiles as compared to the frowns and messages via Makhan Kaka 🤣

My question is how much you are going to hurt your family? If you are wrong, you family has every right to punish you, not to talk to you. What Jagya did was wrong, and he may have been forgiven with time, had situations and Gauri allowed it. It is not being streched. And at one point Anandi even asked him to talk directly to his family, he only went back. If your parents and loved ones are not talking to you, what you do? Scold them, threathen them, misbehave with them. No right? You give them time and forgiveness, after all you have also hurt themYou are right in some aspects parents should not impose their wishes on their children. But there are ways to convey it. Yes it may have been different, had he legally divorced Anandi, but not so much because breaking up of marriage is condemenable in societies around the world. In US for presidential election you cannot be a divorcee and adultery can also cause lot of scandal! Bill Gate,- Hillary Clinton for eg. And it is condemened because it can cause lot of pain to the other person. If you are in love or married you will know what I am saying.
I will not call it blackmailing but threathening the family, forgetting all your values, saying I always did the right thing, I will always have my way- I got married to another girl, and you think of punishing me huh? Our Jagiya should never suffer, while he can hurt as many people as he wants. He can win back his family but it requires patience and time. If you say Singh family is wrong, its like saying someone did something wrong but he shouldn't be told he is wrong.
tinoo tell how much can you go against family, how much you will justify your wrong. Legally you have the right on parents property, but in circumsatnces of Jagiya it is selfish and morally wrong.
