Angeena,

The way I see for olden days writers, they gave viewers...with wives bored in their marriage...which was leading on to ...Break up of marriage Institution.

The olden way of thinking...Shaadi ...Saat Janmo ka Rishta...was being questioned.

Methinks Tagore and all those writers paved way for dissolution of marriage which was something unthinkable in olden days.

That was literature. With a purpose.

But here in 21st century, I don't see much social purpose for portrayal other than ST trying to be realistic and asking everyone one to come out of their romantic pink colored glasses that we wear to watch life around us. Infact I admire that he brought in the complexities. I always remember Rekha and Anant Nag in Kalyug Movie of Shyam Benegal, how Rekha the Bhabhi consoles her brother in law by the end of the movie when his wife is standing there looking at them...unable to give him the peace of mind that her aunt her was giving to him...Yes...to add in more complexity, Supriya Pathak the wife happens to be her niece married to her brother-in-law. Can it get more complicated 🤪

In real life...I have an example of Govinda marrying his aunt's sister. As in his paternal uncle has a wife who has a very young sister Sunita. Govinda and Sunita fell in love since adoloscents and finally got secretly married, ofcourse with Govinda taking his mother's permission. Its ridiculous ...as in how would Govinda would have addressed her ..."aunty" 😲 and yet they look such a cute couple.

Coming back to ST's purpose...

ST purposefully made all easy way outs adding cartoonish feel to complex topics.

A dewar who hates his Bhaabhi

A Bhaabhi who is immoral

So here nothing can happen and yet he keeps rubbing that relationship over us.😡

Sorry about the digressions...just trying to increase the view of our horizon.

Well said...Shri

Your post on the dewar-bhabhi abuse was too good and really apt for today👏

As you said all the literary writers had a specific purpose...

Even if we say it happens in real life it is always under wraps... because it really

disgusts people (even if the people involved have genuine feelings)

So in that respect.. what they are showing between RK and Dips brings a bad taste in the

mouth and is completely gross.. The character Dips is in perennial heat if I may so..It would be poetic justice if she were to be thrown out not by RK but by her husband.. and his family if at all it makes any difference to her.

Hope the CV's really do something about it..

I was looking for this movie...Ek Chaddar Maili Si...based on Rajinder Singh Bedi's novella...

Nothing to do with RK-Dipali, it just adds to the discussion.

Good discussion about Dewar-bhabhi relation.

I want to take it a step further and make it stark. I hope you guys will take me in the right spirit.

The equation between RK-Dipali is strictly viewed by me as a "Man and Woman". No so called relationship that society thrusts on them comes in to the picture. When you remove all the strapping of rules and regulations that society dictates on the humans (there is a good reason for that, I don't deny it. That is what makes us different from the animals.), at the very basic core, these are just 2 characters of different species here. That is how I view their interaction. At least I think that is what Dipali may also think. RK being a man, probably sees her as a woman first and then his Bhabhi.

No doubt about the fact that since we live in a society, we need to follow its rules and remain within the roles that are being thrust upon us. That does not mean, these very basic fundamental undercurrents may not sometime bubble up.

Am I making any sense here? If not, please ignore this post.

I veer between thinking that RK thinks of Dips as his bhabhi first, then his ex-girlfriend. Between this is the issues between them, and his insane need to control everyone around him. Add in his hatred of indifference and the relations between them become more complicated.
But let me King Alexander and cut the gordian knot. Whatever the undercurrents, the facts are thus: She is married to his stepbrother. Whether he recognizes the relation or not, it is there. As a superstar he is always mindful of how he is portrayed to society. All this=nothing should happen between them. Period. If he is going to use her to make Madhu jealous, then he opens up a can of worms.
Either way, I agree that Sikky should be the one to throw her out.

I would like to know what made Madhu crazy.. With RK we have been given sufficient background information about his troubled past to understand why he became this way. But with Madhu .. She had, more-or-less, a normal life. Yes she heard stories of Balraj, but was that enough to make her into a person as crazy as RK? After RK's revenge, I can understand her becoming mad. But she was like that before too. What RK did only brought it out.
