The ongoing track of Tujhse Hai Raabta has put forth a very debatable topic- The sense of embarassment. A lot of people out there talk about facing the repercussions of one's own actions, and rightly so. Whatever happened by you whether deliberate or accidental, has to face the consequences as well. And there's no two way about it.
But with power at hand, money in the pocket and reputation on the head makes them delay the consequences, but anyhow truth has a way of coming out and so it does. The three jewels can buy you some time, but not the bail from the consequences. The same happened to Sayaji Rao Deshmukh aka Appa in the show.
He had the power, he suppressed the case. He had money, he bought a culprit for him instead. But the major of all, he had a reputation that was at stake, and to save it, did the entire loop of hulabaloo was created. But you must have heard, hands can be cut, pockets can be picked, but when the head is executed, there's nothing left.
That's exactly what happened to the Deshmukhs as well, when they lost the powers, they sustained somehow fighting their battle. When they lost money, they managed to sleep in even one room on the floor. But when reputation was shredded, Rao Sahib's patience lost its charm.
Now the question comes, this is no justification of the cowardice he did. True. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, and Rao Sahib was weak enough to lose his marbles when the long hidden truth of his came to the fore. But to understand from his point of view, one can say, his reputation and ego was the fodder of life for him. He could manage a menial and poor life, but couldn't manage to face the scars of crime on his white jacket.
And a lifetime spent in that ego and pride made it all the more difficult for him to accept the repercussions of it at an old age, when all a man needs a peaceful stay for the rest of the life. Understanding the complexity of situations that his one cowardice of not accepting his crime years ago has a list of reactions and the list goes on:
1. Keshav was unnecessarily prisoned.
2. Anupriya was unnecessarily married to a useless man.
3. An innocent lady was killed, whose family fell apart in her absence.
4. Sampada was unnecessarily married to a man whom she didn't love, who turned out to be the son of the deceased lady.
5. After Sampada eloping, again committing the same mistake of remarrying another daughter of the house to the same man whose mother was killed with their hands.
6. Keeping the lives of Moksh, Kalyani and Anupriya at stake with the arrival of keshav.
7. And now the whole house is in a mess for him not speaking up the truth.
These are many reasons too much to weight like tons on his conscience, which slips off a person's willingness to live any longer, because for the cause of humanity for which he might have taken birth, he fulfilled none. A person at such an age desperately waits for death to take over and somehow he doesn't need to see what next wreckage will be created. When natural death refuses to take over, the only option left is to take it off by himself. And so the last resort he found was to hang himself to death, to at least liberalise him from this worldly mess, because it was beyond his abilities to face the consequences at the last stages of life.
And I am supposing, this is exactly what he must have written in his suicide note, that his death is not provocative, but consequential of his own actions. And that is how it puts a full stop to a mystery of years that blew away the blessings of many lives.
This might be the only explanation I believe that can relieve Malhar's guilt of provocation of Sayaji Rao's death.
That's all in this post, share your opinions as well.
