My father my hero!! - Page 3

@Ruchi Thanks for the post. Regarding Raj I cannot connect to him. For me to understand his as a character I need to know how Raj and Divya separated and exactly what happened between them. What made him marry Sarita? If he loved Divya so much then couldn't he have just walked out of the house and suported himself? Did the father threaten/manipulate him with his sister's welfare if he did not marry Sarita?

@Angie based n what they have shown regarding Raj it seems that in his delusional mind he does not acknowledge the existance of Sarita as his wife.He knows that Sarita has been wronged but he does not think that he has any responsibility towards her.His family forced him to get married to her and so it is his family who has wronged Sarita and thats why it is their responsibilty to get her married again (thats what he told his aunt). If Sarita decides to leave them also she is most welcome to because according to him he does not have any relationship with her. He is like a simmering volcano who is ready to burst and when it bursts destruction will follow. Gaurav was right in warning Divya regarding Raj. Raj is so caught up in his delusions and emotions that he has until now subdued that he was not even realising that he was actually manhandling Divya and hurting the person whom he claims to love more than anybody. Wonder what will happen to him when it sinks in him that he is the person who is hurting the person whom he loves the most? Couple of scenes made me very intrigued regarding Sarita. She was worried that how will Sohanlal react if he meets Divya who is Raj's ex-girlfriend. Then in one scene Raj sarcastically told Sohanlal that he has a habit regarding buying expensive things and forcing the gifts on others. That made me wonder that did Sarita know Raj before marriage? Did she want to get married to Raj because she liked him?

Coming to Divya-Raj's scene...I too thought that it was edited too. Wonder why did they do that? To focus on melodrama? Or is it that they wanted to divert the audience's attention from the chemistry/interaction that is shared between Rubina and Karan? Do they think that the audience getting connected to this chemistry might force them to divert from the path that they have determined that this story should take?

@Ruchi, I was also thinking the same thing. That as much as he hates his father, he is doing the same thing. The lack of remorse in his eyes when he saw Sarita looking stricken stuck me. Divya had his wedding photo in her hands and Sarita as his wife was standing in front of him. When are CVs going to concentrate on him so that his actions can be explained (even if they are wrong) to audience. His looking mesmerized at Divya or unintentionally going towards her in a daze is understandable because those are subconscious reactions. But this was too much especially when Sarita as a reminder is here.

He definitely is in an alternate world where he is not married (in his mind) and thinks of this love he has for Divya above any law or anything. He did leave her alone when he found about her engagement (was it bruised ego or a sense of betrayal?). But now finding out that she came to look for him prior to the engagement, broke her wedding and is staying at his house under a flimsy pretext is acting as a green signal for him. Probably seeing her still together with Gaurav and Gaurav putting her arms around her acted as a trigger. Instead of star-crossed lover, he is coming across as an obsessive person who needs help. Is that what creatives are trying to show. I have no clue because even after 4 weeks, Raj is on a sideline on whose character no attention is being paid. Even yesterday, the scene was cut between him and Divya because they wanted to show unnecessary melodrama.

From the precap, it had seemed as if falling on the bed was an accident and then he just couldn't let it go. That would have made it subconscious thing again, but it did not come across like that. I think it was again editing problem that made it seem like this. Regardless, lack of remorse at being seen together with Divya was very significant. From his point of view, Sarita doesn't know that Divya is his ex and yet he was not concerned at all how she would feel finding this out.

Then there are all these contradictions being shown here. The family had decided not to tell Raj about Divya's visit because previously he had reacted badly to her name being mentioned. But then that day, they were casually talking about her visit. The family is so delusional that they cannot even connect dots of Divya being his ex.

@Angie. Nice post and I love the way you pen down your thoughts with so much clarity.

Misti, I totally agree with your analysis. They are putting a lot of emphasis on Sarita coming from a rich family. Also, yesterday it was hinted that Sarita may be the only daughter of her father, the way Sohan Lal is eying her father's wealth. Shiela is 23, yet nobody is thinking about her marriage. But Raj was married though he was barely 20 (maybe younger). Who marries at that age even in conservative families in this day and age? Sarita also is coming somewhat obsessive about Raj. So I am wondering if she did know him prior to the marriage. Else why would a rich guy from a high class family marry his daughter to a son of a scrap dealer. Also as you mentioned, she did not want Sohan Lal to meet Divya. That part is again left as a mystery. Will they ever explain all this? How do they expect audience to connect to their lead character Raj if he would be kept on sidelines all the times. It has been now 4 weeks already.

Well CVs need to clarify Raj's character. It is in a smoky situation. We don't know enough of him. So his every step is mysterious to us.
I think Raj lives in his own created world where he doesn't think he is married. He always dreamt about Divya in his subconscious mind. So whenever he comes near to her he can't control himself. But one thing I'm not liking CVs are focusing on physical love more than love of two minds. In case of Raj Sarita and in case of Raj Divya both. Love which we call eternal love isn't related to body.
It is heart to heart connection.
Yeah RaVya share that love but CVs are focusing on physique too.
I'm just hating that Raj dnt have any dialogue why? Why didn't he come and talk with Div?
Needs to develop Raj as a lead more.
And if u compare Raj with Sohanlal then u are wrong. They are totally diffrent. Sohanlal is a womenholic. He is maintaining two wives parallely. He has physical relation with both of them.
But Raj is a strong character who dedicated himself to Divya only. He doesn't feel any attraction for Sarita.
And the very first approach came from Divya's side. That hug from Divya in rain and Divya's leaving wedding mid way- all worked as a green signal for Raj to take that step.
He knew that Div still loves him and all Div's behaviour was like proofs of her love for Raj. Raj connected all incidents together and made decision that she also wants him.

As for Raj ,s reaction . Divya coming to his place before , then breaking of her marriage , then when he saved her , hugging her and then coming to his place as bride . Poor guy what he will think about all this . PH has to do the reality check what it wants to show . There are many gaps in the story , why sarita,s father will marry her daughter in this family ? her background .

sometimes when ur in love you dont think so much☺️

Divya is quite mature , who took responsibility of her siblings at some young age . She must be now 28-29 . .What song of seven vows these makes thrust down the viewers throat , when because of that girls sometimes goes on suffering their whole life . Why do not come out something progressive thought process . Even girls from well to do family , some times goes on suffering silently , do not tell their parents , not to worry them .Have seen even educated girls .

Seven vows - when I first read that news I thought it was very progressive (I mistook that for Sarita-Divya wedding 😆). Agree with you. That was way too dramatic, too OTT and kind of stunted.
