In all honesty, never EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER have I met (figuratively speaking) A Lead Character's child that I absolutely DESPISE. Not just dislike. But DESPISE. I mean Ekta has done the stereotypical "bad boy" son who falls in love and turns good eventually (Gautum KSBKBT; Prem KZK) But THIS: Vindictive, Spolied, Selfish, Stupd B****. Is a FIRST. Maybe, just MAYBE if Pihu showed some semblence of EMPATHY, HEART, or even .0001% of the CHARACTER her fictional mother Priya has, I wouldn't despise her as much. Alas, for the first time ever I think Ekta has created a villainous offspring from a protagonist š.
SERIOUSLY. ANYONE Who is as petty and vindictive as Pihu would not off themself because you know what they thrive on? ATTENTION. She is not depressed, or going through a serious trial, she is simply being STUBBORN. It's a tell of a spoiled brat.
Being a parent is not giving into your child's ever desire. I'm not a parent by any means but I can tell you that it's parental suicide if that's what you do. Whether you have the means or not, if you're just going to catch them every time they fall, and give them whatever they want at first glance: WHAT ARE YOU TEACHING THEM? What life skills are you giving them? What have they learned? What have they earned? I'm not going to stereotype and say it's a rich kid thing and it's a given, but realistically if PRIYA had raised her daughter, there WOULD have been consequences, starting off with Pihu being involved in that innocent boy's suicide. Further more, I find it disturbing that post that incident, Pihu didn't even become a good/decent character from the guilt of her actions- it was more like, "Oh, well mom's practically dead, so no one's going to find out: Great, my butt is safe".
