Who is responsible for Ansh punishment?
Yesterday Ansh was punished by his step grand mother for being naughty and putting the pin on the sofa making Yash sick with high temprature and discomfort.
Let me tell you up front that I am not here to advocate Gayatri but want to discuss the reasons behind Gayatri's severe punishment to Ansh..
We have seen from the beginning that Ansh is very outspoken and bit stubborn kid. He has been raised by a single parent that is his mother aided by his paternal grandparents.
We also have seen on many occasions that he always speaks out of turn and speaks bluntly to anyone irrespective of their age. This shows of course his witty mind but also that he does not give proper respect to elders.
We have also seen that Aarti as a single parent has given her enough freedom to express his views but at the same time she did not teach him not to speak out of turn. She believes that children should be able to express their mind to anyone freely which is not always advisable.
We have always seen that when Ansh want something he becomes too stubborn up to the limit of irritation and takes the house upside down. Aarti who did not work and had all the free time in the world to attend her son always gave in and have him his ways surrendering to him all the time
Ansh was seen being stubborn with his food and made Aarti run all over the place with a plate in her hands
Ansh was also seen speaking out of turn at the 1st meeting with the new family especially with Gayatri. (That time Shobah had to tell him not to behave such a way)
Ansh was also seen being stubborn with Yash as he wanted to play with him right away with his new daddy. (He was being cute but usually children do not behave like that)
At home also he behaved as brat but the mother and the grandparents did not mind it may be thinking as he does not have a care of a father so he is entitled to little bit extra love and pampering
At the wedding venue also..
Ansh just ran away inside while they were being welcomed at the door and Aarti had to run after him.. and she being a bride.
When Gayatri came with the message from Pa Scindhia about the name changed Shobha and Aarti had to make her wait at the door cause their little prince said so.
During the wedding also he made lots of dhamal and was competing with girls for their father's attention.
During the Gruha pravesh also he made lots of disturbance and Aarti had to accommodate him in many rituals due to his stubbornness.
At the dining table also he made lots of disturbance and every one was annoyed with his techniques and he was absolutely rude with Pankaj when he was trying to appease his anger by pushing his hand away and breaking the glass and then on the scolding of Yash made face at Yash and ran away from the table...
And every time Ansh misbehaved either Shobha or Aarti had to ask forgiveness for his behavior or have to tell him Ansh do not do that or Ansh did you mom taught you like that? ..
Pa Scindhia who usually tolerated his behavior was also displeased at the mess he made in the living room and at the havoc he created at the dining room and he put the pressure on Gayatri to take the control of the situation.
My point here is Gayatri is responsible for yesterday's incident but I would be bold and say that she is not entirely responsible... Somewhere down the line Aarti and the paternal grandparents are also responsible for the way they have raised Ansh.
Yes yesterday the grief and agony of Aarti made us angry at Gayatri but Gayatri was partially right with her verdict and partially right with her punishment...
Gayatri was not wrong in the aspect of teaching something to Ansh but she was totally wrong in her vicious attitude with the whole incident...
She let her prejudice of that little kid rule her emotions
She also let those two little girls instigate her in punishing Ansh
She let her suppressed anger for this kid overruled her judgment
She let her desire to rule over her DILs overwhelmed her and take out on Ansh
She let her insecurities get heavy on her
She let her prejudice of Aarti and Ansh ruled over her.
She should have ended the lock up when Ansh said that he is terrified and injured and he is sorry and he will do all what she said and should have let him out and make him do uthak baithak but she was stubborn for her own selfish motives and punished the boy beyond his limit.
When Aarti came and wanted to release her son she emotionally blackmailed her and let Ansh and Aarti suffer as she wanted to keep the stamp of her authority over her DILs
And she wanted to let Aarti feel the pain of her son's difficulties comparing the pranks of 5 years old kid to the sufferings of her 30 years old son where as her son has so graciously forgiven and dealt wisely with the whole incident but her vicious nature was not satisfied with no punishment and she wanted to take revenge on 5 year old kid.
Also after releasing him she did not leave her taunting and emotional blackmail up to the last moment and acted like a victim who is afraid to lose her son due to the manipulation of DIls..
So learning from this horrible experience Aarti herself needs to be bit strict and teach her son what is the right behavior and attitude and how he should conduct himself in public so that no others can dare to teach or touch her son in anyway...
