Shamsher Malik - An Epitome of Fatherhood

I am aware that many posts have been made in this regard and today's episode established that Shamsher Malik is the one after RK's life. However, I adamantly maintain there is something more to this. I may have been fine with Malik taking a shot at RK… what I am finding difficult to accept is in the manner he appears to be doing it. Want to shoot RK… go ahead, but shoot him point blank letting him know why you are doing so. Even better storm into RK's house and walk out with you daughter… tackle the obstacles that stops you, your daughter included!

I remember this beautiful quote… don't remember whose it was 'It is easy to become a father, it is difficult to be one' This quote seems to be made for the fathers on Madhubala. Lets take the fathers on the show…

Chaudhary- he is unfit be called a being let alone being called a father. He was after his children's lives😡Mohan Kundra – Rishab might worship him, but I have no pity whatsoever for a man who doesn't have the guts to fight his problems, who commits suicide and leave his child and wife alone to clear whatever mess he was in.

And then there is Shamsher Malik⭐️. Trishna and Madhubala are not even his own kids, yet he has provided them with a secure and happy childhood. He didn't get married, let go of the desire to have his own kids… I by no means will call it a sacrifice because he did it willingly. I just want to acknowledge his large heart that welcomed two kids as his own and made them the center of his world. The sad part is his kids don't even call him 'Papa' rather equate him to 'Maalik' (with an exception of Madhu in the recent past. But he relapsed to Maalik) He shares such a dignified relationship with their mother. It would have made a lot of things easy if he had proposed marriage to Padmini. He would have had a companion; the kids would call him 'Papa' and he wouldn't have to face raised eyebrow because of the family equations. It does take a lot to respect a woman as the mother of your children and nothing more, even as he continued to provide for the family. What Malik did was the right the thing to do, but how many can have the strength to stand by that decision for life? It needs a lot of guts, to live the life you want to and ensure your kids are not targeted because of that. He has been the ultimate parent on this show. It will be downright unfair to turn him into a murderer… esp of a guy who is gaining importance in his daughter's life and Malik going ahead despite having sensed it. Even if it for the sake of a taunt, he called RK, 'Beta'. That should mean something. There is the blood hound Chaudhary to be taken care off. Yes, RK is there but it is Malik's right and duty to protect his daughter. I don't want him wasted over this. Malik is undoubtedly the best Father or I even say best Parent on the show….hopefully the CVs wont butcher him.

Now that I have established that I am in denial about Malik's involvement… here is my theory to justify today's episode and my hope. That knife reminded me of a movie (Gupt). Taking off from the movie, the one who may be actually involved in harming RK is, Trishna! Malik has come to know of it and to protect his eldest child from the man hunt for the culprit, he is turning the suspicion towards himself. This way he still be the Shamsher Malik I know. 😛

If at all they establish Malik as the culprit, the only thing that will interest me is how RK will react to it. Will he try to hush it because this 'truth'(I know it is not) will leave behind a devastated Madhu? Will he be 'Rishab', understand the father's reasons and let go of his daughter or will he be 'RK' about it and make it a full drawn battle. I always knew that Madhu will be caught between the two most important men in her life… but just didn't expect it to involve bloodshed. Btw, I am not too trilled with the interaction between Malik and Madhu... she hasnt spoken to him properly since he has stepped out of the hospital. Why so?😕

Thanks for the reply. I am sorry if i wasnt clear enough in my post... But I have not justified Malik anywhere! My contention in this post is restricted to what kind of a person Malik is and how is actions as perceived now are not consistent with his character. Yes, i do believe that if Malik has fight to he has to do it face to face... and more importantly doesnt have to involve bloodshed... wasnt that exactly what i said in the 1st few lines?😊

oh. i thought you were actually supporting malik's decision. anyways sorry for the misunderstanding.

As far as this being an ego issue for Malik..Well, I dont agree! His daughter's misery (as he sees it) cant be an ego issue for him. Yes, he has sensed that his daughter cares for this man... what he unable to understand is why she has suddenly started caring for him. RK is a superstar, heart throb of millions what a father might feel is that RK turned on his charm and enticed his daughter while not intending to honour this relationship and worse his daughter is headed for a heartbreak. He has seen his elder daughter in love with RK's onscreen persona, hasnt he? Any father in his place would have problems, a big one at that.

I have to disagree on one more point primarily because I am a financial professional...money is not very hard to make... if Malik or anyone sets his heart to... they can make money and they make it legally aswell. 😃

well, first of all he only knows things that were either told to him by paddy or may be roma. he himself is not witness of anything coz half the time he was lying in the bed. moreover, there is one time he actually witnessed something and taht was the time when RK told him the truth about his relation with madhu. i get it that he is a father but as a father, before actually doing something like this, isnt he suppose to find out what actually is going on between madhu and RK? moreover he knows that his daughter does care for RK. shouldnt he find out more about it like ask madhubala what she is doing and why she is doing so much for RK? it is his duty as a father to put his daughter first before his anger and frustration. he is not doing anything like that. if he thinks that RK has turned on his charm to impress madhubala then he really has no people skills, i mean no sense in recognizing people. madhubala whom he raised till this date, doesnt he know that she is not that superficial and not easy to impress by anybody. she is a fighter. she was never impressed with the film world like trishna was. he cannot compare madhu and trishna, it is like comparing ocean with a shallow pond. as far as RK is concerned, when has RK ever tried one bit to impress trishna? he has never tried to impress madhu or her family. shamsher knows that. still he thinks he will do that. that is plain stupid.

well u r educated hence you can earn money easily but it is not easy to earn money as u think. esp someone like malik. it requires a lot of things from a person to earn money.
