Shakthi ......
The only character in the thakur's who doesn't have much Dialogues ....nor is shown to be an individual ...who is present in almost all the scenes and by his sheer presence manages to radiate an aura of malevolence..he is not someone to be easily ignored ...in the family conferences..one can ignore G.Dadi, Piyasiya [despite her rolling eyes] , the statuesque Kesar, but not this brooding HULK
Last week... the entire forum was up in arms against his insensitivity ..all the members be it Pro-P or Pro-K were unanimous in showing their disapproval...
Naturally with all the members against him....I took a side ways step and tried to assess him ..
NOTE TO ALL : THE POINTS THAT I AM GOING TO TYPE BELOW ARE NOT MY PPOV ....I AM MERELY STATING WHAT I SAW INSTEAD OF PROCESSING IT THROUGH MORAL COMPASS... I AM NEITHER SUPPORTING HIS ACTIONS NOR CONDEMNING HIM ...
looking back, shakthi struck me as honest ...he is entirely honest in his confession that he does not love his wife , neither does he pretend to be in love in front of his family..he has told them quite bluntly that he married her only becos you ordered me too..and not because I wanted too ....in other words he was being an obedient and dutiful son ...unlike Krishna !!
Neither has he kept his revulsion and dislike of Kesar hidden from her...from day 1 , she knows that her hubby does not love her, wants only one thing from her !! But still she wants to stay in on the relationship ....in other words he has not lied to his wife.
He has a high libido .....he has never denied it !! he has not boasted about it , he has stated it matter of fact and also said that he visits Kothas for this express purpose ...None have stopped him !! He had even given an option to Kesar saying that he cant control his libido, as night sneaks on, it goes on overdrive ...So either choose Baby or Pati...and Kesar chose Baby and shakthi chose kothewali !!
even though he dislikes Kesar , he did acknowledge her as an ideal Bahu ...although he loathes her , it has not stopped him from acknowledging the true fact...
He does not want any baby from Kesar and he has made it very plain to her and had Kesar any sense, she first would have tried to convert his mind or she could have taken preventive measures but she very foolishly goes and gets pregnant , putting her life and her child's to mortal danger...later if the baby is born what if the baby does not get the father's love...this does not seem to weigh heavily with Kesar...
He has said that he will not allow this baby to be born..he will take some steps to avert the birth of this child ...when he attack, he attacks after giving a warning ...and he did try to abort the pregnancy and also truthfully revealed the failed plot to kesar ,if Kesar has any Grey cells...she shud take some strong actions by informing her sasur or going of to her Maika.
what ever SS tells , he will do without a murmur and without a single rebellious thought ....he is indispensable to his father and his right hand man .......he is highly protective of his sister
Does Shakthi deserve whole hearted condemnation for being truthful and honest about his intentions and feelings ....
Is he capable of redemption .....Will he be redeemed ??
Does shakthi deserves another chance ??
