Hope I agree with you and KC . Her spirit is being applauded today in the forum by many but I find her solutions impractical and surreal in a predominantly regressive society . . What do we do when we r being mugged in New York ? Act cocky with the mugger ? Slap him ? We wont dream of this coz our face wud be slashed beyond recognition and the police there r Efficient , not corrupt like UP police . . So why show this extremely dangerous message in the form of heroism in this serial ?
I did NOT find her cool AT ALL ..........at no point . I don't care if people don't understand my POV and brand me as her ardent critic . The moment she made her entry with that cocky expression on her face , clapping her hands , it was UH OH for me . I have said this before and i repeat it ........Less miss Smarty Pants and more human in dealing with realities and she wud touch my heart as a brave woman . This is not a university campus eve teaser that she is dealing with .........this is a gunda. This goon has hunted her once in gullies to rape her , and kidnapped her succesfully once . If u have any brains of a woman that God gave u , pay careful attention to what he is threatening with this time . He is threatening RAPE . He has twice almost done it . He can undoubtedly be succesful the next time he puts his mind to it .
You do not want police protection or husbands protection or ur affluent sasurals contacts , who can easily deal with this sleazeball in a minute . Fine , U have ur reasons for not dragging those people in at this point . But then use ur brains and deal with this situation practically and calmly .Your focus shud be on getting this gunda to leave the city and slapping him will ensure that he will hang around longer .
The only way she cud have handled this in reality was by telling him not to forget that Arushi is Krishna Singhs sister in law . Lay a finger on Arushi and the Singhs will be involved as they will take it personally as an EGO issue that their relative has been tampered with by a small time gunda. That she shudders to think what will happen to him if her sasural fall in this or husband falls in this .That He gave them 5 days but she gives him only one day to flee Illahabad after this threat , and Never be seen around again in the CITY .
Women r inherently blessed with calm and strategic thinking , unlike hot blooded males who often give in to their fury and male egos. That is the biggest strength of woman .......which we dont see Pratigya tapping into at any point .
Today I read many posts in this forum saying it is a good thing Pratigya did not use Krishna's name and SS name as it seems her critics would jump on this and say See how she is using Sajjan Singhs name now or Krishna's name now . To this I say only this much .......the time to think of that has gone . A Far greater crisis prevails , a woman has been threatened with DEFINETE RAPE. That is far bigger than such childish considerations. Now just get that gunda out of that city , by hook or by crook .
Pratigya's first slap made her drink poison . Dadi was right , she had told her DONT encourage Komal to slap gundas , you urself drank that poison once , see how ur life is today . Dadi may be wrong in many things but this was a practical reality that she apprised Pratigya with . Now this second slap will ensure Arushi's rape .
Simple Logic.........if Person is threatening with RAPE before being hit , won't he become firm in his resolve AFter that slap ?
What led him to follow these girls to this point ? Simple .He is a stalker who cannot stand girls who are unafraid of him and humiliate him . That does not put him off , it turns him on more , The fearlessness and humiliation act like the key that wounds up the clockwork of the stalker mechanism . He bites his lip , narrows his eyes and decides to follow that woman to her fINISH .
So dont give him his food . Focus on either getting him out of the city [ then dont lecture ur sasur about how unwise it is to cut him up and throw him in the Ganga] or get your own sister out in another city with total secrecy .
Pratigya can do whatever she wishes with her life , she has no right to endanger Arushis life . Why should all girls have her fate . If she has chosen a fate that I will go down fighting and I dont care if Im raped or if I die or if Acid is thrown on my face , FINE , but why should other girls have this fate ? If they wish to get out of this situation by avoiding it as they have only one life to live , so be it .
Brave women dont have to be cocky or smart before stalkers you know . A woman can be very brave if she fears for her life and outsmarts the stalker by studying his mentality . In the US in some stalking cases , women change their city and live incognito in cases of extreme stalking . Are they cowards ? They are strong sensible women . Pscychologists advise NOT to communicate with stalkers if possible.
Arushi is in grave danger now . The Rape track will definetely happen . I never liked Arushi but I would never want this to happen to ANY woman period .
