Good analysis, Vasu ( I am taking the liberty to call you that! π). Of course you can, roomani!
I liked Kartik for standing up for himself and his family but why then did he not speak up earlier? If he wanted to "settle" his sister before his marriage, why did he even allow the Kapoor family to come home with the proposal? π€ It looked to me that his thoughts on Priya were almost the effect of Ram's offer; either his conscience was stung because he did not think of his sister or he just needed more time before actually tying the knot...to prove himself worthy and he used his sister as the reason. π I really felt for Priya, she was in a most uncomfortable situation at that time as her tears indicated! That's interesting - that his conscience was pricked by Ram's obvious love for his sister. But from what I have seen of Karthik so far, he is still the only person ((I refuse to count useless Sudhir) who is 100% committed to Priya and understands her like no other.
@Anamika - hey Anu, I'm liking the show more and more as well. It is generally quite fast paced and not too draggy, so I'm hoping it continues this way and we get to see the issue of RP's marriage soon, even it is is the end of next week.
@vidusha - hi. thanks for liking!
@Preeti - The Karthik-Priya scene was my favourite too; just the fact that it was so real really blew me away. In other shows there would be this mahaan speech about daughters being as good as sons and blah blah blah, but all Priya said was "so what? I do what I do because it's my family, because its my duty". It didn't seem like the typical self-sacrificial type of lady who wants to be considered mahaan. She acknowledged that she too wanted to get married but it was not a priority and she wasn't going to go around parading her unmarried-ness as a point on which to garner sympathy. And again, I agree with you on Shipra - she should at the very least respect Priya's decisions even if she does not like or understand them. If she respected that about Priya, I would actually not mind her so much.
@Maz - hi! Don't be a silent lurker π so what if we all discuss the same thing, everyone has their angle on things and that's what makes these discussions - and life - so interesting.
As far as we know, Sudhir and Shipra do nothing, and everyone lives off Priya's earnings. I want to know if Priya does more than teach at TOEFELs classes because I can't imagine being able to sustain a family of five on one person's salary. Maybe Karthik helps out, or will start helping out now that he has a new job?
@shreya - you're welcome, lol. I have a habit of making long, impassioned speeches about things I like and don't like (I could be a Kekta mahaan-type bhashan devi for sure π) but I am so glad and surprised that you guys actually find my ramblings interesting and worth discussing π to be honest it's nice to be amongst people who have decent and intelligible thoughts and can express them in more than emoticons and grunts π
Loved your analysis and I agree with everything so there is nothing more to say π
