DOTW - The Art Of Lying

Discussion Of The Week

Lying is a mundane activity. Some lies are big , "No she hasn't given me the money yet!" while some are small , "Yes ! I did sleep before 12" , Some are to keep somebody's heart , "No! You don't look fat!" , some are sweet lies , "You have world's prettiest eyes" & some lie shielded by anger or jealousy , "I look better than her."

Lies have been the integral part of the show Punar Vivah since its very beginning. The base of the lead in fact was built on a huge lie & sadly the lie had to travel with our protagonist Aarti in her new life. To conceal one mammoth lie she had to state hundred more petite lies. Aarti is guilt stricken for lying to her husband while Dubeys believe the lie that can save somebody's life or embellish somebody's life can't be misdemeanor.

This is the DOTW , how far is it fair to lie? Does a lie have a dimension? Is a lie in every sense an iniquity? Can a lie really embellish somebody's life?

Interesting topic Shubhi 👍🏼...will come back later to put my views on this ...

Exactly my POV... Aarti is going to be in big trouble coz to be frank she's the biggest culprit. Who cares if Dubeys asked her to promise... They turned out to be very selfish... First they say it's for her happiness but now they just want her to keep it a secret coz they're worried Yash won't allow Ansh to be a donor. Aarti should have used her brain and came clean from the beginning after all its her life and when a foundation of a relationship starts from a lie, it's bound to fall apart. Even if she didn't tell the Scindias, she could have been honest with Yash.. Fine we can argue that she tried to tell him before the marriage and when that opportunity was lost she couldn't find any other time (though I find it more like she didn't want to find time)... but after the marriage, she had so many opportunities to tell (biggest being their wedding night) but she chose not to... When they were friends and close and even now, she still doesn't want to tell as she fears his reaction but what's the point?? It's better to come clean than making a thousand lies to hide one... At the end of the day it will go out of hand and everything will come tumbling down in the hard way coz what she did is honestly quite hard to forgive.

Aarti looked coy or was it sly when questioned about her behavior by Yash and Bua. Then, a big revelation is shown: she tells herself (us), not for the first time," I have to tell the truth to Yash asap" ... and continues lying. Tell Yash the truth, my foot, she had so many opportunities, but no, why must she do that, it doesn't suit her purpose anyway ... and so the lie drama continues. I was of the view that PV is the journey of a second marriage, not so much about the previous marriage ... it seems that we are seeing so much ofAnsh, Ansh, Ansh

Interesting topic, Shubika 😊

wow nice topic to discuss shubhi dear
For me a lie is a lie one shud not lie i know sab jhoot boltay hai kabhi kabhi sach bolna humare bas me ahi hota but humay koshish yahi karni chahiye k jitna ho sakay hum honest rahay
i will not believe anyone who says he/she doesnt lie at all?
everyone lies some lies to cover up their guilt some lies to hide the reality which might hurt the other person but if we start lieing once we cant be honest for the whole life of ours
for example if some one is wrong and we r supporting her/him by saying that he/she is right then this might cost us alot
otherwise in daily life choti moti jhoot to boltay he hai hum

I agree that lies that does not harm anybody as said, white lie are OK but if its going to harm anybody -say mental, social, emotional or any aspect, its not fair.

Aarti's lie in the beginning was ok. They were just parents of their children not did not share any relation but now since they are in relation, Aarti's lie for me is crime. She can not justify it.

Yash is again and again stressing how much he trusts her, in such situation she should not lie. She knows Yash, she can convince him for Ansh's bone marrow transplant. If he doesn't agree, she can go against him n donate BM but lying is not accepted. This should definitely end now. Aarti must tell it to Yash before Bua discloses it.
