Hello Diva! Was about to read ur FF but saw this topic and came in here first!๐
I think those who said YES r comparing KriYa with Naitik-Akshara here or creating a mountain out of a molehill, as usual when it comes to nit-pick Pratigya's flaws!๐๐
For me, it DEPENDS on the depth and nature of the relationship!
I have heard my grand-parents generation people calling there spouses AAP, where, my mother's side people had both HUSBAND-WIFE calling each other AAP but my father's side people had WIFE calling Aap and Husbands calling TU or TUM - ofcourse all these in BENGALI!!!๐
My parents generation people, like my mama-maim or chacha-chachi - MOST of them CALL each other TUM and very FEW call each other AAP! BUT the difference from prev. generation is - BOTH sides MAINTAIN the Husband-Wife EQUALITY belief!๐
Now, coming to my generation, the ONLY married couple I know well enough is my sister and my brother-in-law,๐, and they used to be friends among whom TU was the popular pronoun!๐ And even after marriage I often catch them calling each other TU - and Me pulls their legs by saying that I will tell on them to the prev. generation aka my parents who dont like to hear husband wife calling each other TU!!!๐คฃ So, they call each other TUM infront of the older generation but TU when they r among their own generation!๐
Ahemm... I hope u found my 3-generation-family-history bearable to read on,๐๐!
Those who compare KriYa to Naitik-Akshara - even though I dont watch YRKKH, lets not forget that Naitik-Akshara are TOTALLY different from our UNIQUE KriYa!!! Just like KriYa r completely different from Milind and Prachi from Kayamath - where Prachi used to call Milind AAP and Milind used to call Prachi TU - I actually felt the similar way as those who believes RESPECT depends on HUM-TUM-TU pronouns!!!
In case of KriYa, just imagining Pratigya calling Krishna AAP, sort of makes me go ๐คข๐! Firstly, I totally prefer Pratigya and Krishna calling each other TUM rather than AAP! Or else, I would really feel like we r watching god-knows-what century's serial, all thanx to the inhuman Thakurs! Secondly, IF those pronouns really determines the RESPECT-factor among husband-wife then, it WAS Krishna who FIRST switched from AAP to TUM, saying that NOW they r married and she is his wife - just like some one said, it truly sounded like he was saying, NOW they r married and she is his property!๐คข๐ So, the respect-factor was GONE (doubt if it was ever there to begin with just coz he used to call her AAP!๐) from Krishna after marriage and I dont think NYONE RESPECTS the person they HATE or the one who makes them suffer - so there was NO respect for Krishna from Pratigya (nd just being the husband doesnt mean he who made his wife SUFFER deserves to be respected!) So, the TUM pronoun became POPULAR among KriYa and later on when Pratigya's misunderstanding was cleared, she WANTED to be FRIENDS with him and I dont remember her calling her FRIENDS using AAP!!! ๐
DIVA!!! U made me WRITE an ESSAY out of SUCH an unreasonable TOPIC!!!๐ก๐
Lolzzz... JK! Got carried away even though didnt want to talk about such unnecessary stuff!๐
