I'm baffled by the reaction here to shiv's natural outburst. Which brother in the world will not defend his sister in this situation? On engagement day he guesses something is wrong, asks J point blank --no couching of words -- if he is ready for the marriage. He says it is his sister's life at stake. J assures him all his well
All was not well. J thought about his family, thought about
Anandi but was unconcerned about not being able to offer love to Sanchi The reasoning appeared to be that I will fake this relationship as long as my family is happy. But how about the other party involved here?. She may be the stupidest person going but why should she be trapped in a loveless marriage for J's family's sake?.
J's argument that better now than later was more applicable on engagement day. That day he was not aware of his love for Ganga but he knew he didn't want Sanchi in his life. He asked himself why am I not happy and yet assured shiv that all was well.
Today he has brought greater unhappiness with his decision. Shiv is unhappy because he sees a betrayal. Anandi, in whose name and honour J accepted the marriage offer, will suffer the consequences more today than on the day of the engagement.
And should Shiv say today, brother come on let us sit down for a cosy chat. You don't want to marry my sister? Great. You refused my offer to cop out on engagement day and took six whole months to come to this decision. Great. You found nothing wrong with my sister when she was her immature self six months ago. But today, after she has changed herself for you, and shown us this improvement over six months, you want to break off with her.Great You tell us that she is a wonderful person, she has done nothing wrong, only good and more good. And yet now, at the very last minute, you want to break off? Great. Absolutely great and you have done me proud.
Had J revealed the reason for backing off today, Shiv and family would have been upset but the situation could have been controlled. Now A will get the brunt of it. Shiv and his family had seen sanchi improving over six months.If after seeing this they don't believe that J has done an injustice to her, they will have to be either God or inhuman, neither of which they are.
I think I'm in a minority of opinion here when I say J has caused more damage by not revealing Sanchi's truth. He has not spared her or A of their share of pain. The truth will come out and Sanchi will be disgraced and A will be seen as part of a conspiracy. Wah J, you have done terrific sacrifice today.
And yes, Shiv is totally to blame for getting angry. He should have simply said to J by your own admission sanchi has changed herself for you, become a better person but you want to leave her in a shattered state because you have decided so. I applaud you Jagya.
And A of course, deserves nothing but hate. J can do what -- be a terrible human despite his family and be great human for the sake of his family. But she is not even entitled to be confused about what to do for the sake of two families. J is a hero if he acts mahaan. A is a villain whether she is human or mahaan.
And finally shiv was totally wrong in saying J encouraged Sa. He didn't. He just, for no reason, allowed her to get closer and closer to him.. Her wearing a ghagra, her dong aarti, her staying put in hospital for him. Her getting tearful while leaving BH. All this was was normal behaviour and if he smiled and smiled at all this that too was normal. He called her pretty, did her homework, turned up to lecture in her college, stayed on for a date after that. He did all this innocently. Never knew the girl could misinterpret the affection being offered.Never knew she didn't see him as a brother..
