So I was utterly, completely pissed off by Rinky last night as I am sure was everyone else and could only think of two things - one this girl oughta be given two tight slaps across the face and be duct-taped while at it and second what the hell has gotten into Bhalla. Sr.
A good night' sleep helped me clear my head and while my thoughts regarding Rinky arent affected in the slightest, I dunno why but in the morning I suddenly remembered that this must be such a deja vu here for the father son duo - Raman and his dad at loggerheads and his wife caught between them as the reason somehow for the conflict...only this time the wife is not the instigator and the root of all evils instead she is in the crosshairs and being slaughtered in the line of fire for no fault of hers. Which is what perhaps caused a normally sane and rational man like Omprakash Bhalla to lose his cool other than having only the partial knowledge of what he heard and saw as he came home and not know the reason of the argument in the first place.
In a way, last night' drama as a follow-up to Raman' paranoia is a brillaint move and also explains the reason why they had their hero go bonkers all of a sudden. Because of course if Raman hadnt panicked this drama wouldnt have been created without it and for a normal healthy man in his thirties drawing up a will and thinking he may die any time in the near future cannot happen unless and until he has a reason, a good one though it might have arisen out of a misunderstanding.
The thought of death would provoke within him the fear of what would happen to his near and dear ones after him...I cant help but recall a classic of Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, called Majboor, (ironically a word Raman had used countless times in the accident track), where he is lied to by his doctor about having a tumor and the thought of his family helpless and all alone without any resources is enough to scare him to admit to committing a murder for money.
While Raman thankfully didnt have to do something farfetched his drawing up the will kicked up a hornet' nest within his own family all thanks to the selfishness and pettiness of his own sister who's argument honestly had no basis or validation.
I wonder what was the writer thinking when she wrote that Mihir has given 15 years of his life to Raman' company - it didnt strike me immediately but later I was like wait - 15 years?! Like how is it possible - not only did Raman start this company recently - barely a couple of months ago...Mihir 15 years ago was a teenager and not some employee in a company working part-time under Raman...who himself at the time was probably just starting out in Ashok' company at a very junior level.
Like Maya has pointed out in the first comment on page 1 itself, had Mihir still worked for Malhotra under Raman or otherwise, would Rinky still have had the audacity to make that demand from the boss of her husband? No, she would have not done it...
There have been some posts that justify Rinky, some people who think she is right to fight for her husband but I beg to differ with those people. They think she is acting out of concern for Mihir and hence fighting with her own brother for her husband but I wanna say f it is Mihir Rinky is REALLY concerned about then shouldnt she have been not insulting him in front of the family there?
Besides what basis has she got to ask Raman to transfer shares to Mihir' name - the fact that he is now again Raman' brother-in-law, that's it? Being a student of business herself she oughta know that a CEO has certain amount of shares already in his name in any company no matter what and Raman cannot touch those too, if anything Raman has made Ishita the owner of the company by transferring his shares of the company and there' nothing wrong with that, as his wife she is legally entitled to whatever her husband owns and her being a dentist with no business background has got nothing to do with it. As it is Raman has made this company on his own without a single nickle from his father or grandparents or anyone else - he isnt obligated to share it with his siblings or make sure they own a part of it.
Rinky to me is behaving exactly like Shagun as she was earlier, a woman obsessed with societal standards whose flying higher than she oughta be, as she wants to enjoy the perks of being the wife of a CEO, but she doesnt understand nor respect the hard work that her husband puts in for the same. When her friend was humialiting Mihir and accusing Raman of nepotism, she let it get to her...she let her friend believe that Mihir didnt have any other qualifications or reasons for his appointment for the position other than his relationship with Raman via her...had she really been that concerned about Mihir and thought that high of him - she would have clarified to her friend that Mihir has become the CEO based on his merit rather than being her husband and he would have been one even if she hadnt been his wife. Also for someone who's shown as a business student the way she is disgusted by the notion of Mihir not being an entrepreneur himself is ridiculous, does she not realise how many qualified people have no jobs in the real world and her husband is a CEO in a rising company, whats shameful about that huh? And that friend of hers who makes all those big talks, has she once bothered to ask him what he does and what is his designation if he has one at all..
