The debate about MP or NP and MA or NA is just endless.
The people who want NP together hope that MA will get back together. Ryka has explained in detail in another thread as to why MP are soulmates. Whether in the future they (creatives) decide to break MP or not I do not know. But getting MA together is just a terrible, terrible idea. This is why I feel so.
Seeing yesterday's episode what struck me was how different Milind is from Ayesha. Yes, both had the same background. Both were childhood sweethearts. As Niharika would condescendingly put it, they were both from the chawl. The similarity ends there. While Milind had a relatively secure childhood (apart from the fact that he lost his mother early) being brought up with discipline and love, Ayesha had a traumatic childhood (being raised by a half crazed woman who kept pining for a man who was hardly around). She did not get the benefit of discipline or love. So she grew more like a wild plant - her only friend and confidant being Milind.
Their attraction for each other appeared to be more physical (I am sorry if I am wrong here - have not watched the earlier episodes so my judgement is from the brief glimpses they show of their past together). There was a lot of passion but nothing else. And passion alone cannot last a life time. Between them she appeared to be the more dominant partner. Milind did not seem to mind it then, maybe because he was blinded by her beauty. But if they had stuck on, this would have caused lot of problems between them. This is because Milind is his own man. While he would be willing to listen to someone on important issues, he would definitely not take lightly to be lead on a leash, which is exactly what Ayesha would have done to him. One also must keep in mind that Milind was not the self made man when he was going around with her. After making a success of his life, I am sure he would not want to play second fiddle to her.
Another important difference is their family background which I already mentioned. This has lead to differences in their value system. Ayesha does not appreciate or value family or marriage because she never had one in the true sense of the word. Milind on the other hand places a lot of importance in family. He was willing to put up with a lot, just to hold his family together. This also included trying to make his marriage work (until he was mislead into believing his wife still loves her ex-boyfriend); pretending to be happily married in front of an ailing father (eventhough it meant he was denying what he was truly feeling for his wife) and meekly asking Niharika with folded hands to accept his sister as her bahu (eventhough he detested her and he normally would not beg anybody).
Just take yesterday's incidence. Here is this girl who witnesses her ex-lover with her arch enemy(half-sis) having a private moment as any hubby and wife would have and she goes beserk. She thrashes her ex-lover and screams at him in public, in front of her family and his. It goes to show what respect she has for him, his family and hers. On the other hand, when Milind was in a similar situation where he witnessed his wife in the arms of her ex-boy friend at the wedding of his sister, what was his reaction? He too was mighty angry. But he dragged Prachi out of that place to a more secluded spot before lashing out at her. This is because he still had a sense of family. He did not want to disgrace her in public in front of her family or his. And this when he had had a couple of drinks.
So if two individuals do not have the basic principles, how can that relationship work? There are no two individuals who are absolutely alike. In fact if such individuals exist and they get together they would make the most boring couple. Variety is indeed the spice of living. But the two should atleast connect at a basic level- have the same priciples and beliefs about life. If not, that union is doomed. And MA if at all there is one is definitely doomed. So if Prachi does anything as foolish as sacrifice her hubby for her sister's happiness she will only end up creating more unhappiness for all around her.
