One thing that stands out watching this show is the portrayal of Pratigya as a victim of circumstances. She is the educated girl who stood up for herself and slapped Angad for harassing her. She blames Krishna for ruining her family's reputations by his actions (Angad is the instigator of her assaulting Nitin and her kidnapping). Krishna is unaware of it and is confused by her indifference and continuous rejection after she agrees to marry him. She didn't think twice about lying to her parents about complying with Krishna's requests while trying to play detective with Rolly's help which we all know she botched.
Why hasn't Pratigya taken her own advice and discussed with Krishna his behavior that has caused her so much pain and anger? Isn't she the educated one in relationship with Krishna? He has tried to approach her on many occasions but other than cold stares and walking away from him she hasn't stepped up to open up communication between them. When has silence and a cold shoulder ever resolved any problems in any relationship esp. a marriage? For an educated person she has misplaced her thinking cap somewhere in Takur Niwasđ˛. Adarsh was quick to point out to her today about her treatment of Krishna while she was preaching to him. Way to go, Adarsh! She seems more concerned about her brother and sister in law's marriage than her own. Komal blames her for her marriage to Adarsh yet she is readily available to them and everyone else but not Krishna? It takes two to tango. Whatever her problem with Krishna why make a public spectacle of her rejection of him for the world to see with that famous Saxena sourface? He is her husband, she made the choice to marry him even if she sees him as her bitter half.
Both Adarsh and Pratigya seem to think they have the answers to their life's problems overriding their parents' advice. Their decisions are not well thought out for the long run either esp. given that they are the educated ones. Disappointing!đđ˛
I've always believed as an educated girl her decision to marry Krishna was impulsive and questionable. She tells Adarsh to handle Komal with love and respect to turn things around yet she doesn't see it necessary to give her own husband the time of day? Why not divorce him for her moment of insanity (deciding to marry him) and walk away? Did she really think that she could coast through life fixing everyone else's problems while watching her own marriage continue to fall apart?
Another way to look at it......................was all this Pratigya's power play? She has heard from practically every member of his family how much Krishna loves her. He has stepped in to back her up against every member of his family. Why allow him to step in to rescue her from SS, Sakthi and then gives him the cold shoulder? If she was so strong why not deal with the issues with her inlaws on her own? She challenges him about the nature of his love for her. Sure it doesn't fit her picture of how it should be but she could at least make an attempt to understand where he is coming from and tell him why she is so royally psst at him? Zilcho! Nada! Zero! Sypher! How much responsibility should and will Pratigya take for her part in the way her relationship with Krishna has headed?
While I don't condone abuse of any kind towards man or woman (there are well documented cases there are physically assaulted men in marriages as well), given Krishna's background and upbringing, his attempts to do things a little differently for Pratigya's sake and change met by constant rejection, it's no surprise that he reacted the way he did. Krishna has been a rich, spoiled brat in his home, has been used to getting his way one way or the other in the Takur's household. It's a novel experience not getting what he wants when he wants it, so he acts out at times, extremely, in unexpected ways tthat are against acceptable social norms.
Curious to see how Pratigya deals with the Takurs once she returns to their Niwas post honeymoon. Will Krishna keep his distance and what is she going to do about it if and the next time her inlaws come after her again if Krishna nowhere in sight to defend and protect her? Their reason to needle her ......her continued poor treatment of baba.
Somewhere along the way, the story has to present Pratigya's mistakes, her part in her marriage going on the skids and her treatment of Krishna to bring this couple back into arc of a love story. This story reminds me some Mills and Boon Modern stories - after some rough times amidst serious misunderstandings all is well eventually and they live happily ever after.
Any thoughts? Just looking at it from a different angle? There are always more than two ways to look at every story.đ
