Hey Opti!!!WOWWW!!! Completely agree with u!!! U know, I thought Krishna's behavior b4 marriage was acceptable coz, there were lots of misunderstandings between Pratigya and him... After marriage, I started to get confused bcoz Krishna refused to listen or understand Pratigya's hatred or the reasons behind it and instead stopped her everytime either by abusing her or by walking away/out of the room!!! Then, the honeymoon blunder made me disappointed in him... And I was already starting to get used to be disappointed in Krishna BUT it was still hard and sad to believe that he could lie and make himself into a coward COZ, until then, I for one, never thought of Krishna as a coward!!! That lie was completely unnecessary and it made me think that he loves his own mardangi wayyy more than ny truth or Pratigya!!! I loved him for saying that he wont touch Pratigya until she wants him to and just like Pratigya, I was beginning to trust in him, all over again BUT he broke his promise and Both Pratigya & my trust in him and forced himself on her for the second, on top of that, he had the tongue/mouth to say that he is making the lie into a truth - which only confirmed ur second option!!! And this also makes his character more of a black shade than a grey one!!!😆
Yup! I want the CVs to make Krishna redeem in a NEVER-SEEN-b4 way!!!😆 I think, it would be very interesting to watch Krishna realizing his mistakes, only if the CVs know how to handle that situation nicely, as to not disappoint the viewers!!!
Yes, Krishna's character is progressively becoming more and more inscrutable and confusing. I can understand SS or his mom or even Shakti's behaviour. Atleast they are so far consistent. As to attributing Krishna's behaviour to the fact that he is being sandwiched between his family and their convoluted principles and his 'love' for Pratigya, well that does not still explain quite a few things he does, including this unnecessary lie which was sure to blow up on the face of his beloved at any time. So what was the point of it? By the way, what is mardangi? Does it mean masculinity? If it does, then he cannot claim to love his wife and still give so much importance to his own masculinity.
Being masculine does not mean slapping one's wife or physically overpowering her against her will. A man who slaps a woman according to me is a coward. What is the point of exerting one's authority over someone not your equal in physical terms? Let us take his slap as an instinctive act. But the follow up was even worse. Had he spoken out and admitted to his father that he indeed was responsible for the lie and that he thought that by doing so he could keep them happy for a while, he could have partly redeemed himself. When his father gave that bullshit talk about how he was a whimp who could not physically subjugate his wife, he should have said that he does not believe in force to win over his wife and that he would win her with love in time. We have seen him stand up for Pratigya before against his father and his brother be it the name issue or in Komal tripping incident. Why then did he not stand up for her when she needed his support? The only excuse would be that he himself was pretty angry at being deprived of his conjugal rights. He seems to have thought that Pratigya in all helplessness may eventually let him take her so that she does indeed get pregnant and the lie does not come out. When that did not happen he seems to have snapped. what he did not anticipate is for Pratigya to leave. All the tantrums he threw later and the tall talk he made about going against the world for her sounds so empty for the fact of the matter is that he forced her to lie about something that no woman should lie about.
Imposing one's view on someone cannot be called love and that is exactly what Krishna is doing. You mentioned the honeymoon. Yes, he was doing nothing but that during that time - forcing her to scream 'I love you', slapping the man she shook hands with and finally attempting to force himself on her. Cant help wondering whether all his so-called love is nothing but lust which he delusionally thinks is love.
I thought that the talk with Varun Badola's character during the honey moon would make this temperamental and confused character understand what love means and what a woman really wants but alas the impact of that speech only lasted a short while.
Like you I too want Krishna's character redeemed like never before. What miracle will bring about that change I have no clue.
