in current day real life, fate has different meanings at different times. when people's marriages are fixed or celebrating wedding, people often attribute it to fate -- they were meant to meet. it was destined etc. but then ask married couples of a few years about how they got married, there is a wry response -- "fate!" followed by a huge sigh or a shake of the head. it indicates a complicated relationship - neither happy neither sad, just life. so in that situation, what is fate? is it positive or negative?
then, we have our serials where we viewers are constantly clobbered in the head about how the leads are destined to be. then they hit the 150 episode mark and it turns into saas bahu nonsense and there is no more talk of fate or destiny except when folks are getting exasperated with each other...😆
in most serials, the leads are single and so the whole destined to be sounds romantic. here, the leads are married to other people and it is an affair. so if the CVs are saying it is a destined love story, then what exactly is his marriage to mouli? or, they saying from a literature classical way where fate is cruel and so these two are going to end up destroying each other? or is this element of fate to explain that they don't have any control over the situation?
wish the CVs would clear this up a bit better but then, part of me wonders if the CVs are pushing the fated love story simply to create controversy and TRPs. people are probably watching just to yell at the tv! 😆
I, myself, was surprised that they went with this fated angle based on how they showed the initial story. If they would have shown that he was not happy or he knew her before, it would have made more sense and we could have accepted it. Because they went for something so different or something that we cannot imagine can happen, its more difficult to swallow. Like he is happily married. Thus everyone has a hard time believing that he can fall in love. But it happens. May be the angle that they are going is love can happen anytime, anywhere with anyone irrespective of the human boundaries that we have instill around ourselves.
Love with anger, pride, lust are natural reactions but ethics, morals, loyalty are emotions that come with upbringing, character etc. Thus even though love can happen, what we do about these boundaries is the choice that we make based on our ethics, moral, character etc, be it anytime in our life. Like even if your teenager fallen in love, your boundaries are your parents, caste, society etc. There was also a time when love was considered a taboo, a sin but then it became more acceptable with time. But even now, if your parents or society does not agree, like if it is intercaste marriage, it again comes to choice you make. Whether you hurt your parents or sacrifice your love.
But love before marriage and love after marriage are two completely different things because marriage is a sacred bond. Love after marriage can be more destructible than before marriage. May be the CV's are trying to show this, that how love is not controllable but what we do with it, can make it beautiful or destructive. Sacrifice vs selfishness? We will know more based on Kunal's reaction after and if Mauli finds out.
The only thing that I can compare this to is Neetu Singh in "Jab tak hain Jahan". There she fell in love with Rishi Kapoor and choose him over her daughter, Katrina. Her only regret was that she had to stay away from her daughter her whole life but she still decided to go with love as she thought that she will be unhappy and in turn, will make her daughter unhappy.
Thus, like Neetu Singh, it would really help if they start showing them more mature and less teenager like. Its high time, Nandini grows up to her character and start taking some meaningful decisions of something called "Life". Especially if they want to show this as fated love story which should be more of sacrifice then selfishness. Like you said tragic.
