Hi all,
I have to respectfully but heartily disagree. I was cheering for Pihu when I saw this sequence.
I love Pihu's spunk, she's not just going to fall at Abhay's feet like a "good" girl/wife- no, she's going to make him earn her love and touch. When real people like her fall, though, they fall hard and completely, and all the conflict is usually worth it with a marriage that is enviable and strong with a lifetime in love connection between the spouses.
I actually thought though,when Abhay realized she was not going to give in so easily, that he was a smart man, but he didn't even really romance her, especially by showing her how much he understands her and loves the qualities that make her tick - which most women cannot resist no matter how headstrong, so I was disappointed there. He really did not show himself to be worthy of her by quietly understanding what she wanted and needed and providing that though she clearly showed she is willing to be won by him by going with him - he just failed with the opportunity 😊. No hard luck, he has to rework the strategy.
He should show that he thinks she is worthy of being earned, that she is a treasure he will fight for to have a possibility of winning her truly - and most men appreciate that most which they must fight for as in prove themselves worthy of, so I loved her pushing him into the pool, and I think her talking about Rudra is her disappointment at her husband not showing the same desire to win her as before they were married so he could cast her off and accept defeat, or he could entice her to fall in love with him by his actions. She is clearly a woman full of passion, more real and admirable to me than others who simply submit to roles and parents or husbands and one I can cheer for.
I love the way their love story is unfolding. I hate to see a weak willed woman, not being one myself, and an equally strong and loving man- which I hope the creatives will have Abhay prove himself - those are rare and amazing, I know, having one myself. That love story will be hard to beat if it happens like that! Nothing beats a marriage with two equals who have fought for each other and even with each other!
Am I the only one who thinks this?
Hope you don't mind my two cents.
