The question of how I would react if I am in the same position would not have been the same. May be I have been brought up to look at the whole picture and not just educated status of a man...
The thing I dont understand Arushi is that she was not an old hag who was past her sell by date, but just a teenager who had her whole life ahead of her. What they showed was not women empowerment but an old trick used in drama to create melodrama.
I guess if the actress playing Arushi was good would have made it bearable, but unfortunately the actress has not been successful to gather sympathy for her POV of marrying Shakti, no matter how much the CVs try to show it.
To teach young girls in similar position they should have shown that being dumped at the alter was not the end of one's life but a start to one. Her hatred of Pratigya could have continued from afar and not be part of kitchen politics. Her revenge storyline could still have happened had they not linked it to the whole marriage of Shakti.
From what I have read is that Pratigya is unhappy about this marriage and not for the right reasons. Her thinking that her own family cant do any wrong really needs to be addressed and Arushi, along with Shakti need to be punished as both have committed a crime and not just Shakti. I dont have faith in the CVs to address this as the Saxes as a whole never reflect or learn from their mistakes. It is always someone else to blame and not them. The CVs are stubborn in showing it.
Star,
Neither would I have reacted the same way ....But let us not forget that this ppl are from middle calss BG and despite their degrees and So called Sanskaar's ..They are narrow minded bigots...They do not live the life on their own Principles but on the principles of the society ..and Society will laugh at them ..That is enough for them to think that their life is overand Aarushi was brought up in such a household , she did not have a chance of widening her outlook like Pratigya [who went out of the nest ..]..Her feeling that this was the end of the world was justified ..but her action afterwards..Not even feeling a momenatry pang of guilt for Kesar is not understandable..she is a small town girl with faith in good karma and bad..she must be squirming whenever Kesar was in sight..but u see her behaving like a queen..
I think it is not ony about revenge, it is also about Kesar and Krishna
