A lot has been said about the ridiculousness of Khushi's suicide track...like many i too would have wished that we had not taken this route to clear MU...so have kept silent for days...but...
Did she have any options? sadly...the answer was pathetic...she has been dying for months now...dying in instalments..in pieces..she dies a bit more as each passing day goes by...she died when she was forced into the sham...her drems of being a bride...her faith on her family...on the man she loved...it died a bit on her wedding day itself..his subsequent behaviour..be it her wedding night or any other routine day...his insults his hate...his anger...killed her inside...impacted her deeply..not visible to anyone...even to us as audience...but in all honesty can we believe that so much of hate cannot have left a permanent mark on her psyche or heart? His rejection must have killed her a zillion times over...everytime he does this..she dies a bit more...we never realise what pushes us towards the edge...what is the final straw that breaks a camel's back...her isolation from everyone has been marked for months...she has been really alone...very alone in darkness...and she hates the dark...and when a human being has been suffering relentlessly for months...it needs but a small trigger leading to apparently illogical yet extreme action...Khushi finally feels cornered..she has lost the strenght to fight..she is putting down her weapons..she is just plain tired...beyond hope...and dying once and for all is definitely more attractive than dying a slow painful death..dying in bits and pieces with each passing day...
The last straw...he wants her out...he needs her out in order to achieve his happiness.imagine how killing that thought by itself is...and what is so surprising??... that a girl as independent as proud and as big hearted as khushi decides to give it to him on a platter...she makes a choice thats typical khushi..instead of dying each day...unbearable when the one u love subconsciously kills u a bit with each attempt...she just cannot stand arnav doing this to her...she decides to end it all...atleast painlessly with dignity...thats the way she would prefer it...
Her extreme mind has been portrayed before too in several incidents..be it her wild dreams of throwing money in ASR's face publicly in press conferences or playing a judge to a culprit ASR..she does have a flair for dramatics...and has always been OTT...be it the juice in his shoes...or the sugar in the fuel tank...or akash's staged filmy suicide...or her aloos and tamatars in the meeting...or throwing tea in lieu of dupatta holding..or washing clothes at poolside..or swami..who in the world thinks of all this...a really wild and imaginative mind...time and again the cvs have proved that this girl has a wild imagination ...remember the black magic fiasco...and an extreme and ott way of reacting to the smallest of issues...then why is this so unpalatable or unbelievable...when we all know the extreme circumstances that have led to this...
And from the other pov...the only thing the beast in arrogant ASR fears...death...coz it has left its mark on him...his ultimate fear...the claws of death snatching his dear ones once again..he cannot stand that pain...that fear drives him insane...and today he faces that same terror again...in a way i get cvs coz a man like him would not have succumbed unless faced with the ultimate terror...it had to be something so drastic that would finally break him coz everything else has failed...
P.S...no suicide in not a joke..and have seen it at close quarters too as i have worked with an NGO preventing suicides for years...but several shows have shown it in a comical light before...if that has not been found insensitive...then why this time ??...if it has to be touched at all...better for the cvs to show it in a lighter light than to actually show a human taking recourse to it in all sincerity...showing a lead taking this way out due to unbearable pain is not a message that should be sent across to audiences...
