Was Gopi right to kill Radha?

Now this is interesting...

Last week many people were saying that Gopi was right to kill Radha as evil had to be destroyed and she acted in self defence.

However, now that it looks like Ahem broke ties with his mother because of Gopi, some people feel that Gopi was wrong and that she should have thought about her family only, meaning Ahem and her daughters.

I actually found both POVs very interesting and decided to do a poll for this to see what the general consensus is in the forum. In fact, I was thinking about doing this poll on Saturday, but then decided against it as I thought majority will vote yes and that kinda makes things boring. 😆

I would most appreciate it if you would vote in the poll and express your opinion.

Thank you in advance! 😊

No, I can't support Gopi about killing Radha though I felt bad for her. Actually, there was no need for her to kill Radha when Rashi was safe in Kokila's hands.

I don't know what the majority will say but in my opinion, it is no. I would have favored it if Gopi was not sent to jail which has led to the separation track & the family split.

No problem! Everyone's entitled to their opinion. And I'm not trying to say that people are right or wrong with regards to what they think. I'm just interested to know what people's thoughts are regarding this issue.

Thank you very much for your response!

My POV has been very clear from the beginning: I think Gopi was wrong.

Earlier I posted this in Manzz's Written Update thread:

I agree with what you said about the importance of having patience. This is something that Gopi used to have in abundance at the beginning. But looking at this particular situation, I feel it is also important to use your brain and think of the best possible solution to solve the problem. I don't think the Modis ever actually did that, instead they seemed to have gone with the flow and dealt with things as they happened. I also feel you should not wait for a divine intervention to bail you out of trouble. My personal view: God only helps those who help themselves.

My POV is that the situation needn't have reached the point where Gopi had to kill Radha. I feel the family had ways to deal with the situation before Radha's actions became extreme. When Radha threaten to stab herself with the knife while she was pregnant, they should have sent her back to the mental institute she was sent to after her arrest, the ones who said she was 'mentally fit' and released her. A girl threatening to kill her unborn child cannot be mentally fit. Then they should have consulted a lawyer about taking custody of the child once it was born. First thing the lawyer would probably have suggested: Do a paternity test to confirm the child is Jigar's.

Coming back to your point about killing evil. Well, when the child Gopi was trying to protect was safe and sound in Kokila's arms, three able-bodied people had time to get hold of the Radha and Gopi had many injuries to prove to the police that Radha had tried to kill her, then what was the compulsion for Gopi to kill Radha?
