FIRSTLY I don’t support any act of violence – I am of the opinion that acts of violence even if a SLAP shouldn’t be showcased on TV/FILMS – because most of the time the makers may be doing it to create drama…to sensationalize a scene BUT there be someone out there who feels it is OK to do the same in REAL life.
Having said that ‘SLAPS’ are not going away from TV soon… so here are my two cents on what happened on Friday’s episode– specifically the SLAP.
What Mishti has done in the past, does or in this case was going to do is almost always out of the goodness of her heart. She is what one would call a pure soul; it is ingrained in her to help her family/a loved one! BUT sometimes you need to know when to draw the line! Sometimes you need to wait for the person to ask for help or at least express some kind of vulnerability - It doesn't HURT!
Kuhu is an adult who can take decisions on her own and IF she fails that would be on her. She knows whether she wants help or not… whether to ask for it or not - That should be HER decision.
Here, Kuhu has asked Mishti point blank to stay away from her matters and enjoy her wedding phase. Kuhu has time and again expressed that she does not need or want Mishti's help....ESPECIALLY ever since the court summons came over. But snooping around and forcefully trying to tackle that matter; is not only invading once private space but it is NEITHER PRAGMATIC! Even if Mishti tried to do what she did out of the goodness of her heart - Look what it has led to *SIGH*
True, no one could have predicted it BUT Mishti was forcefully trying to take matters into her own hands when Kuhu clearly did not want it & wanted to deal with it how she sees fit.
So IMO that slap was long due!
Hey! Hey! Hey! - I am NOT against Mishti NOR Do I have anything against her but I wasn’t surprised that it happened and was pleasantly glad (Apologies for the lack of a better word and compassion) when Kuhu slapped Mishti.
Not because I wanted her to get slapped BUT, because kahin na kahin INDIRECTLY it was a slap on the face of SP female leads or rather the CONCEPT OF SP FEMALE LEADS (Most Of Them) - who forcefully tries to get into everybody’s problem… and take them ON.
Star Plus Female Leads have the whole 'MAHAAN' ...'Mujhe Uski Madad Karni Hogi' (Most of the time without telling others, so that you can fall into trouble and whip up another 100 episodes)... You know the whole SELFLESS ...Overtly Good Hearted TRAIT in them...That's just how SP works (Why, Is beyond me!) AND the Channel (Since there is a Channel creative involved) and the PH uses or rather EXPLOITS that very trait to create DRAMA; like they did here (Same thing happened on another SP show with another popular FL - she too got slapped –Literally and By Life as well in the name of drama and now that show is all setto bid adieu)
Yeh alag baat hai that here it was done solely to create drama!
