In the recent times I have come across a lot of Jai Walia bashing, so I thought that I would put in my two cents worth in defending the man, but was a bit lazy in penning my thoughts down. But after watching yesterday's koochi-kooing scene with the baby,which by the way I must have watched atleast a few times,I was left with no choice but to get off my behind and make some coherent remarks(hopefully).
I am all for Bani to punish and extract revenge from Mr. Walia regarding his treatment of her, but this is defenitely not the time to do that. How can anybody deny a man or woman their identity, and this baby completes Jai Walia along with Bani. I read somewhere in MT's post that this child is his priority than Bani, so what is wrong with that?because this child represents to him everything that he was looking for all his adult life, and with the only person who complements him.I don't think that there is anything wrong with his total committment towards this child,because to an extent all of us are selfish at some level.
If the roles were reversed,then this phenomena becomes very natural, because it is expected that the child should be the mother's number one priority,and we see that happening everyday in our life but we don't question that; then why the double standards? and why are we up in arms when the child becomes the father's priority and why is Bani justified in keeping Jai away from experiencing fatherhood, afterall she didn't make this baby by herself and didn't do it under duress.
Subconsciously she is punishing him for his past deeds and also because she holds all the cards and he is helpless.
I will put up another post as to why I think Bani is not as pure as the driven snow.
