Also, I'm sorry if my post made it seem like I support rape. I definitely do not, but sorry to say, I find myself having zero sympathy for Mihika. This whole track has portrayed Mihika as a very dumb character who responded to Ashok's advances on several occasions just to show Shagun he was a leech. I'm not saying she deserved rape (if it did happen), but her stupidity makes it very hard to sympathize with her. I don't think anyone should respond to a man's advances if they are not comfortable with them. It's plain wrong. I agree it was not Mihika's fault that Ashok drugged her, but allowing herself to enter his room and flirt with him was very wrong of Mihika. Everyone suffers the consequence of their actions, and unfortunately Mihika is too. Does she deserve it? No. But did she have it coming? Unfortunately, yes. You can't compare Mihika's actions to a woman walking the roads of Delhi at night. Although it is dangerous for a woman to walk out at night, it's not direct danger. There is still a high chance she'll make it home safely. Whereas entering the room of a pervert and flirting with him is like walking directly into a lion's den. There's no chance of a safe escape. A woman who is raped walking the streets at night has done nothing irresponsible. She has a right to freedom and walk where she wants at any time of the day. Whereas a woman like Mihika who flirts with a pervert and enters his room with him knowing what he's capable of is downright irresponsible. NEITHER deserve rape, but one is more responsible than the other.
I never said and never will say Mihika deserved what she got. There's a difference between deserving something and being irresponsible. I don't sympathize with Mihika because of her irresponsibility. Does that mean she deserves what she got? No. If she was raped, then definitely she should get justice and have Ashok properly punished. But that doesn't change the fact that her character has become highly irritating and dumb. You can't blame viewers for banging their heads on the TV screen whenever she's on.
