(Before reading this, S1 fans, you guys can watch the first 15 mins of ep.316, it's beautiful. It covers Minnie accepting that she doesn't always have to be a mother. She can be a sister too- A character problem we were concerned about in S1).
Anywho, let's begin:
After S1, I personally haven't watched S2 much but occasionally just skim a few scenes because of darling Arya. Just now, I watched episode 318, where some weird watchman dude had come to their house, which triggered Arya's memories about a trauma that took place 2 days prior. S1 fans can also watch this sequence, particularly because (I'm hoping that) some important issues will be raised. The reason we loved PB so much was that it was bold and real. Hanita is a different chapter that KathaKottage missed, but let's take some time to look into this particular scenario.
Arya's words in the precap were that she was scared of this weird uncle. When questioned why, Arya responded along the lines of, "He punishes naughty children very badly, very badly in the bathroom also." You can see Ashnoor's expressions here: a mix between utter heartbreak and a serious realisation of the utter gravity of this situation. Personally, I think Ashnoor does these types of things really well: topics like reacting to her father humiliating her mother (anyone remembers her heart-shattering screams?), prepping her mother for a job interview, motivating her to take up PB: you get the idea: they are all question-the-norms-of-the-society-driven concepts. That's why I'm particularly interested in PB right now.
I'm hoping they'll cover vital issues like child abuse or even molestation? That's what is my intuition. It's so very important and so many children go through it, with even having an idea of what happened. This fear, which takes birth in the childhood haunts them forever. I can't even begin to stress how important it is to showcase such real problems on a big platform like SonyTV. Whilst most focus on romance, action and romance, these issues are often missed. How-ever upset I may have been with what KK has done in the past, I really have to go ahead and appreciate the effort of highlighting sensitive issues which no one else seems to care about.
Although the child actor for Arya is very young to portray this issue, I'm glad awareness about something like child abuse/molestation is (hopefully) brought up on ITV. The mere notion that children have to be 'disciplined' in some ways and make them believe that they were at fault is absolutely disgusting. Especially after what we've been seeing on the news for the past few months is nauseous. There is no sense of humanity, responsibility and morality. What brutal monsters don't realise is what impact exploitation/molestation/inappropriate touching/abuse/rape can have on people, especially children. There forever remains this hole in their heart that they desperately try to fill. I hope this issue is given justice or at least highlighted to spread awareness amongst the Sony audience.
