just like there r so many possibilities for naitik, there were lots of possibilities for akshara following which she cud have avoided this confrontation , where does HER understanding of the family and her husband comes into picture? nowhere ! Naitik cud have done all that IF he thought that it was possible for Mohit and Nandini to get married..This is his POV and (in my opinion he is right) that this is WRONG , so he never took Akshara or Nandini or Mohit's side..When he was kept in dark by his sister, best friend and wife, he will obviously react on that much info which he has ...which was tht nandini accepted the marriage proposal & was ready to get engaged but Akshara convinced her to act otherwise ! she took nandini to the park without her knowledge and fixed up a meeting with mohit......when akshara lied to him so many times, how can he trust her and go and ask her the truth? what's the guarantee that she will not lie this time? she will not try to cover up for nandini and mohit ?
Akshara has been married in this family for a few months and she must have experienced that her in laws are more conservative than her parents..she must have had an idea of their thinking and their views about marriage..when love marriage was a strcit no no in HER household then Singhania's r way backward for this concept ! how can she not know that daddaji is dead against the idea of love marriage? how can she not guess that when this truth will come out, specially when a rishta for nandini is almost fixed, how will they react? on what basis was she opposing this marriage proposal? on what basis was she encouraging nandini and mohit ? a guy like mohit moron who knows nandini will not be accepted in his family, yet instead of talking to them first, he went n confessed to nandini and try to stop her rishta by convincing her to tell everything to her parents? ''
yes, the family is the last one to know about blossoming romance but there was no reason for akshara to hide such an imp. thing from naitik and hence, dig the foundation on which she laid the taj mahal of her love...can't SHE convince nandini to tell this to naitik ? if hiding this truth frm naitik is OKAY then she herself wouldn't have said it time n again that naitik must know...
love, trust, understanding can never be a one way traffic bec. naitik is not a saint like akshara...i think it was high time tht the family must know about nandini's affair...naitik couldn't have contributed to Akshara & Nandini's lies by hiding the truth frm them..yes, it cud have done in a better way but may be he didn't get time to think & react bec. Akshara herself made it so complicated for him...and in a way it was important bec. akshara was flying high with the appreciations she was getting (mainly frm her maayka) which made her so overconfident tht she alone can handle this sensitive matter...
Naitik couldn't have asked nandini and even if he had asked her, he wud have got confused replies only and akshara's mistake wud be glorified..god knows how many times Nandini said yes/no for mohit and yes/no for this rishta...in front of mohit she wants to marry him, as soon as she sees her parents, she changes her mind..n that's where akshara's fault come into picture tht she was the one who drove nandini towards mohit when she made up her mind twice tht she will forget this affair
While its a little off an immediate response to your comment, the fact is that if every human being accepted status quo in everything there would be no change, no progress. Society beleived that widows deserved to live like destitutes giving up all luxuries or even basics in life and lead an austere life. If a Raj Mohan Roy accepted the fact that his family and community were conservative and backward and did nothing, then the state of widows in Bengal would have continued to be abysmal even today. While this of course is of grave importance and consequence, the point that I am making is that just because something is being done / followed as a practice it should not necessarily not be questioned.
I find that the Singhania household is excessivey regressive and have no sympathy for them. Forget the love part, to not allow a talented writer whom they've taken the pains to educate to write simply because the Singhania women dont do "stuff like this" is awfully shameful. Remember there is little Nandini has in her life, why take away something that gives her pride and joy and recognition as an individual. Then by your logic, no one should haveaided and abetted Nandini to write either and allowed a talented person to remain mundane. If that is ok, then what is wrong with something else?
As for Naitik, I am unable to understand his behaviour. Either he's against Mohit and Nandini's relationship, in which case what does he get by making a public scene and stopping the engagement? If he truly believes that this is not right then allow the engagement to take place and hope that Nandini will get over this infatuation.
If he's not against it, then why scream, rave and rant and talk about his family's honour being discredited and generally putting Akshara in the dock. And for som reason he seems to beleive that Nandini and Mohit are poor innocents and it was bad, bad monstrous Akshara who forced thm and she alone is responsble or this! Fine he had no time earlier, but now he does, but he still does not want to listen to her. That's Niatik for you - my way or the highway!!
So he couldn't talk to Nandini because she's confused and his elder sister, he cant tlk to Mohit because he is his friend over whom he has no control so yell at Akshara cos she is his wife bound by mariage to do his bidding, at the mercy of his whims and fancy!!
Forget about Mohit, his hasn't been a powerful or strong character from the begining but Naitik is no better either is he? Time and again he has demonstarted that he is a small minded, blinkered vision guy incapable of being understanding or getting a bigger picture - whether it was Rituraj saying no to Akshara and making a mess of his own marriage or this incident!
