@Aquamarine and shrutiR 😊
First let me say that I unintentionally used the wrong words when I said Pratigya provoked Angad and Arushi provoked Shakti. I really didn't mean it that way, and now that I read it back, it doesn't sound right. I haven't seen the episodes which were before the honeymoon and so I really have no right to comment on them.
I realise the word I used is wrong, it shouldn't have been "Provoked". As far as I know, when Prats slapped Angad on that train, he was totally deserving. Infact, I would want to behave the same way if someone dared behave like that with me. Women need to be strong and reply in such a
As for Arushi, perhaps Provoked is a wrong word here also. I admire her courage for daring to tell him off in the middle of the night. However, saying that:
"who is at wrong here - Aarushi wanting to drink water in the middle of the night coz she was thirsty or Shakti who keeps harassing his sister-in-law? If Aarushi is NOT wrong, then why does she have to be careful just coz she wants to be safe?
C'mon! Why does Aarushi have to be careful about her timings??? Shakti does not harass Aarushi in front of everyone - WHY? Shakti does NOT have to worry about HIS timings - WHY?Aarushi told off Shakti at that time coz he was harassing her then, and she dint want the peace of her sister's house to be disrupted (just coz the Thakurs dont think of nyone's well being other than themselves, doesnt mean EVERYONE is like that!) and she was also charged up after Pratigya's energy boost,😆!
Like I said b4, running away or ignoring such abuse is NOT the solution! And bcoz MOST of us, NORMAL girls, do run away or ignore such harassments - THAT is why such things still exist!"
When I said Arushi should choose better timing, I was thinking what I would do trapped in an unfortuanate situation like hers. When he blocked her path at night, it wasn't the first time he did it. Why didn't she speak up the first few times? And I still do object to her leaving her room. I know she is not in the wrong and she CAN go out for a drink whenever she wants.... But seriously speaking, would YOU continue staying in a house where a Gunda was hell-bent on trying to rape you? Would you leave a secure room when you know he's out there watching and waiting?
I may be wrong. But for me, any steps to be taken should be to secure yourself first. Shakti would never dare attack her when there are ppl around. And such matters are never dealt with alone. I still think she should have confided in Pratigya.... and confronted Kesar. Someone should always be in the know.
If only she was on better terms with Krishna and could confide in him. He would definitely solve the matter with his brother. And he could do it discreetly too, without involving the family.
