Human evolution favours both good and bad traits. Why is it then that we cannot accept that Seema would have earned the right to lay claim to Dutta's affection after her careful ministrations over what would, undoubtedly, constitute one of the rockiest patches in his life? Has she not been caring enough braving dangers, giving up a lucrative "occupation" to embrace a life with a measure of dignity which is for sure going to be fraught with a threatening menace in the form of Chaskar from now on? Could Seema's right or rather her wish to start life afresh with Dutta be commensurate with Nakusha's sacrifice in the sense that she has saved his life in such dramatic circumstances that she has, fully, earned the redemption and forgiveness that she set out for. Fact is that Dutta's outright statement to limit her action to a sense of gratitude that he feels is commendable, and speaks volumes for the sea change that Nakusha's love may have achieved in his life but also the fact that his total helplessness post his accident has, in actuality, completed Nakusha's contribution or rather his perception of her contribution towards his transformation from an animal to a human being in the real sense.
This is a burning topic and it is by no means an attempt to defend Seema in any way. I have been quite voluble in my thread, "Dutta's virtuous hatred V/S Seema's enchantment" as to where my sympathies lie for Dutta's ex-girlfriend not to be misunderstood here. I have been one of the staunchest believers right from the day Seema came back that she is dubious, not in the sense that she is out to do harm necessarily, but rather, that she set out on this journey seeking redemption and forgiveness with an ulterior motive which she finally admitted to Dutta today, that is to be given a place in the latter's life. There is nothing wrong in the pursuit of happiness as all human beings err and should be given a chance to reform. The only difference being that her pursuit of happiness should not have been limited to a selfish need where it is once again a question of ME, ME, ME all over again. Seema's meeting with a grievously injured and unconscious Dutta was pure FATE but it was too late for her as she had succumbed her persona to a lifestyle which has over the years pervaded her understanding of reality and her own aspirations to the point that she cannot see beyond herself. Yet, another narcissistic character we could have done without. We kept shouting on the forum ever since she was crash-landed in LTL 5 weeks back as to the reasons why CVs needed to bring her back in Dutta's life.
Today's episode gave us the answer. It was important for Dutta to establish once and for all the difference between the pursuit of happiness for selfish gains or negative motivations as shown in Seema's endeavour by the way she embraces the whole idea of becoming the impaired Dutta's saviour. We would have been more amenable and ready for some form of empathy towards her if she had taken steps to inform Dutta's family of his whereabouts straight away as she was not at that point aware of the dangers that Dutta faced and would have earned brownie points. And as soon as she was made aware of the tragic circumstances of Dutta's accident, she chose to latch on the opportunity to lay claim to a place in the latter's life. I would hate to be so uncharitable as to say that all that was mere calculations, but let it suffice that she did not come clear. She could sense Dutta's revulsion towards her; she could make out the presence of another person in Dutta's life through his phone calls and yet did not stop to think for even one second that she may be treading No-Man's land. Part of that was due to her personal delusion or delusional enchantment as I chose to term it at length in my earlier thread on Dutta and Seema. I could have felt sorry for her today, especially, when DSP tells her that he is content with forgiving her and thanking her for all that she has done for him but that determined, undefined look of pained yet resilient shock that we got to see sound ominous. She will surely turn negative at some point as she would have been scorned this time even after having gone through the pains of someone she loved once and for whom she has sacrificed a life full of luxuries and male adulation (albeit immoral) to set on her journey of redemption with Dutta.
In contrast, Nakusha's pursuit of happiness as shown through Dutta's flashbacks of the koyal and the Gori Naku all points to Dutta's vision of his wife as a model of virtue, moral strength, healing and patience, who had but one objective. That of ensuring that Dutta be happy in all circumstances to the point of negating her personality, submitting herself to mental as well as physical torture at the the hands of the saviour/friend/husband/foe that she idolised, irrespective of any circumstances. CVs would have successfully and finally compelled Dutta to realise during this track that when it came to his friend/wife/foe/moralist in his life, Nakusha, only ever had positive motivations which was his well-being and happiness above all. Seema never stood a chance and this track was needed to establish the fact that life experiences that induce positive emotions cause negative emotions (which Dutta still had up to his near fatal accident) to disappear quickly. Nakusha's strengths, love and virtues became the buffer against his misfortune and saved him from lapsing into a psychological trauma that his visual impairment would have automatically offset for a man who needs all his senses to survive in the merciless world of crime. It was his wife's positive traits that were the key to him building up enough resilience to the point that he just rebelled against his physical disability to, rigorously, start planning his rehabilitation. He made a start last Thursday by killing four men ("his ex-bodyguards") in cold blood before taking the lead in his and Seema's escape from the house in Dongarwari.
I would love to expand further on the contrast between Seema's and Nakusha's motivations but that may have to wait for another thread. I would like to conclude on the need for Dutta/Nakusha and Seema particularly to realise that in life, one should take special care with endings whatever be the circumstances, as its colours and its timings as Dutta reminds Seema today (and that is not a dig at Colors'.please as we still want them to give bucket loads of Tasha before embarking on other twists) will always tinge and impact on the memory of their relationships and any willingness to re-enter it. Dutta and Nakusha should now be shown as to being fully aware of the immeasurable second/third chances of happiness that life would have given to them once again whilst Seema will have to be shown as reflecting on why she should be content with the fact that she has finally gained what she originally set out for: redemption and forgiveness that Dutta pledged to her today. Unfortunately, I still do not trust the CVs as to the possible orientations they may have in mind for Seema in future tracks. For now we would be happy to see the Love that has been denied on screen for so long between Tasha.
PS: I will try my best to respond ASAP to your comments but do bear with me if I cannot get back during the day as my schedules are becoming more punitive these days. But feel free to debate on Seema as she will be rousing diverging emotions for a while yet😭 😳
