Love it! Thanks for taking the time to write... yes, but then this serial itself is so layers upon layers etc... you can spend all your time just enjoying the nuances
I think that the reason it is not contradictory for La to have a live in with ASR and for Arnav and Khushi to marry though both are against Parampara was because the La episode was thrust upon them forcibly and well persuaded by someone they trust the most i.e. Shyam. Given the same scenario of a sudden development with La, I am sure they would have reacted the same.
regarding their angst in the sudden marriage, well, in traditional societies its really all about the larger good or community or family is it not? everything is about how it affects the whole and not the individual. So getting married like that, without consent or discussion, without involvement quite clearly is completely against the v essence of who they are - starting from their morning arti to their rituals and fasts etc. I am a little confused as to why everyone is getting upset. I would have thought it is in character with who they all are... Expecting them to accept the marriage in these circumstances is unrealistic.
What is weird is their treatment of Khushi - irrespective of the circumstances of the marriage - to me that smacks of just meanmindedness, pettiness and cruelty because she ostensibly did not follow the rules. To throw away humanity and kindness just because someone has transgressed your club's rules is just plain sick...
unfortunately since its a serial Khushi will probably smile and be mother india and forgive everyone concerned, thereby ruining her character sketch again...
sigh.. i need to go and get a life, find another obsession...😭
Rita, thanks😊
And count me on the go get a life boat😆
Loved what you wrote and the bold above is exactly what I wanted to say.
I am not able to read much comments over here because over here the posts move so fast I have a problem locating my own😆😆
I feel we cannot appy a yardstick to our leads because we love them...and then a diffent one to the other characters...all of them have done some unforgivable actions, does it condone them no...but then lets not rubbish the side characters
.If you are from India especially where peole are being outclassed because they are getting married in another sub-caste, this turn of events should not come as a surprise.
Even then their reaction is much better than what I was expecting from a typical Indian serial...no I am not defending them, just pointing out that it could have been shown to be even worse , when we have other serials where people are married off multiple times and all
Are the Raizadas and Guptas being hypocrites...sure they are...but I guess this is knee jerk reaction on the day itself and its just the second day today...
As to their treatment of Khushi...no one is pardonable...but if we need them to repent then lets start with Khushi herself (who needs to stand up for herself) and Arnav (who needs to reflect that this is the same innocent girl he fell in love with and hat he himself was not so charming in his interactions with her)
The sad part is that the so far projected sensible leads are also not able to cut through the mist...which is the real impetus needed for the love story...if there is to be a love story
Thanks again and loved your take😊
