SO after surviving the horror of last night's episode, I log into the forum expecting to see loads of posts with some sincere critical analysis of last night's performances. Alas not to be. Instead I saw a dozen posts praising and hailing Mohan. Mohan is awesome; Mohan is kind, Mohan generous, blah blah blah…
The fact is that Mohan is none of the above. Mohan is a FATHER. Simple, straight and FACT! He is a father who loved his daughter enough to let her make her own decision. He is a father who believed in his daughter's love. He is a father who just wanted his daughter to be happy. I don't think there are many fathers out there who would sprout an ego and sulk just because his daughter didn't do what he asked her to. He might be mad and angry for a few days but he WILL come around because that's what father's do.
As for Navi she did what every girl in love does. So I don't understand why she is being berated everywhere. How many times have we heard stories of girls defying their fathers? This happens in real life and we accept it then why do we find it so hard to accept it in a show? Why ? Because the hero of the show is not a human but a God?
And just for the records Navi did exactly what Mohan did all those years back. IF we race our collective memories we will remember that Mohan went against Indu to marry Megha. Even Indu had no way to know how good a person Megha is, much like Mohan. A marriage is always a leap of faith by one person
