The base of Aarti's and Yash's relationship has always been nothing but being honest to each other and respecting their honesty. Be it Aarti confronting Yash with her strong feelings for Yash or even Yash openly rejecting Aarti's feelings for him. Anything that was on their mind was said 'out loud' in almost front of everyone. But we've come to that point where Aarti, who had no idea that her marriage was arranged on the basis of lie, who eventually had found out yet was compelled to keep it that way, is almost being forced by her conscious to come out with the truth.
There was no doubt that this was to happen but now that it is happening? What are your thoughts? Do you feel as if Yash is likely to stand against Aarti along with his family? Will his father who proudly accepted and has always admired Aarti's dedication to keeping her marriage intact suddenly hate standing her?
Taking the values and norms I have been socialised into consideration then yes, what Aarti is likely to face is what she deserves it! because we live by learning that truth doesn't hide and those who lie see it coming to them eventually, they just simply get blinded with the temporary happiness the lie provides. and also not simply because lying is unacceptable but for the reason that when you had the courage and the guts to be truthful of everything you do. You hide the biggest truth of yourself within a beautiful marriage? I understand, perhaps, it was the best to do within the circumstances she was at, and it wasn't entirely her fault but realistically speaking, it was Aarti who's to spend the rest of her life with that family not her mother and father-in-law? Despite it coming across her mind she had chosen to carry on with the lie. - So who can you really blame here, her parents or Aarti herself?
Will Yash stand by his pregnant wife? - Will he remain to providing the security she's mostly desperate of at this point of life? Questions will surely be answered ...
What I personally feel is that, with this part of the story line it could go absolutely incredible! - If the creatives continue to work with the they have so far then it could work. I think with this story line they could easily show that being a 'divorcee' isn't a big deal at all! It shouldn't be whether you're living in a western country or south eastern. I feel that if they show it to be as one of those high points in life where your partner, who you felt would never leave you, they do! this goes to show that some people aint always reliable but others, people like Yash, may just be one of the people to show that actually not everyone's the same!
I live in a area where I have seen a lot of people being divorced of their recent marriage. A couple of them was based on lie, some just didn't work! But it doesn't stop them people from living on. And I do see they highly consider that they have been divorced of their previous marriage. But I don't think it' should be one of those big factors restraining you from happiness hereafter. Maybe my perspective is different because I live in one of those country where divorce rates are extremely significant but I don't say that because of that what I'm saying is, people's happiness shouldn't be subjected to factors such as being a widow, divorcee, or women who can't conceive! - Everyone deserves to smile regardless! And so should Aarti!
Could it work? Could they show that a divorce women is just as good as the women who's widowed or someone who's not married yet?
I have admired this show for its creativity since the beginning and the simplicity of it! and if they pursue even tiny bit of what I have addressed above, I will surely be chuffed. Because we know television, in other words what is shown on reel is often more effective than the credit we give to it!
Cheers for the time you have taken to read this, and feel free to add anything you would like to share :)
