MY HEART WENT OUT.. - Page 5

Laks my dear:

I can only speak for myself. I agree he is henpecked and I will try to explain why.

the original character sketch of Krishna's that made him so unique and intriguing for me was that of a guy, uneducated, unpolished and seemingly orthodox about women - he looked, analysed, reacted and resolved things in a very rational and pratical fashion. he was frank, had an honest opinion (quite often practical but unpopular) and had a certain confidence in his own perspective on life. he seemed open to learning and tried to rationalize his street smart andaz with any bookish knowledge he was exposed too and where he found the latter lackign he said so and stood by it.

A lot of things changed after he went to the adda and things have progressively got worse. he is not operating as his normal confident carefee self. he is now operating as someone whose sole goal in life is to live in a manner that is not objectionable to pratigya. and this includes the actions of his family. if he voices an opinion and it differs from hers, he is easily swayed.

Very aptly put Hope, the Krishna we're currently seeing in the show is one who is only there to please/defend pratigya and as an occasional comic relief

he now displays false bravado rather than confidence. he uses his humorous oneliners - not to get a point across - but to hide his rational point when he notices that pratigya does not agree with it.

you are right in that pratigya does not incite him against his family. but every action of hers is so provocative that it invariably places him in a compromising situation with his family. she never asks for his support because she is confident in the fact that he always comes around to her POV and defense. her statement about not fighting with is family in my opinion was too little to late.

Excuse me the expression but her statement is complete bulls**t to me. She says she does not want him to fight with his family but she keeps putting him in the middle. It's not even as if she's doing it but doesn't expect any support from him -- she completely does. We've already seen what her reaction is when he does not side with her -- either she's crying and saying "at least you should have said something in my defense" (prof's trial track) or she's shocked and miffed and angrily got back at him with below the belt comments later on.

If you really did not want him to fight with his family for you then you would not have placed him in a compromising position:

when you disclosed bedroom secrets at the public havan and bought disgrace to the family in front of their guests
when you disclosed a private matter in court and brought shame to the family in front of society or community they inhabit
when you send his mom and bro to jail and thereby pitted them against you openly
when you insisted on addressing the issue of remarriage (when he repeatedly asked you to let it be for now and walk away)

she knows he will support her. he cannot support her if he does not oppose the people she is battling with. his family. so while she may not ask him for support or directly incite him, her actions leave him no choice.

as long as her actions are provocative her statement about not fighting with is family in my opinion is redundant and might as well be window dressing in their budding relationship
