Madhuri's Statement

Has anyone heard Madhuri's statement today? There was a sentence that women like Jahnvi thinks that they can change people like Viraj and people like Viraj take the advantage of the situation. So it's time that women should fight against domestic violence and tell clearly that one should not take test of the tolerance anymore.

If Viraj is shown to be any normal abusive guy without any clinical problem then Madhuri's statements would have been perfect. But here the CVs are showing Viraj to be a patient of OCPD along with other problems. In that context, Madhuri's words are not only insensitive but indirectly sending wrong message to the masses.

There are lots of people who suffer from bipolar disorder, megalomania, OCPD and other mental problems. In many cases, patients show violent behavior due to chemical imbalance in their brains and they do not have any control over their emotions. Such patients not only abuse their wives, but other people around them also face their wrath as it has been shown in Viraj's case. These people cannot be compared to other wife-beaters who abuse their wives only to keep them under control.

Madhuri's statements indirectly told the audience that in case of such abusive people, one should fight instead of hoping that they could change. So should a parent, sibling or even a partner leave a mentally ill patient without even giving one chance of treatment?

People in our country don't care a damn about mental illness and those who are known to be suffering from any disease are often looked down upon as an infection. Such statements and presentation about mental illness in the media will only affirm those notions.

What Jahnvi is doing right now absolutely perfect! It's true that she is not bound to do any favor to Viraj even though she is married to him. What Viraj has done is beyond all limits and he deserves punishment. But Viraj needs treatment too. Jahnvi's support is not only out of humanity but she is doing it to save her family from any more problem created by the powerful Viraj Dobriyal. So what's wrong if Jahnvi is shown to be helping Viraj? At least, she is no longer going to accept the crap from him and will answer him when necessary,

I am thinking of lodging a complaint against this serial in IBF - either the channel should have stick to the message against domestic violence or they should have dealt the subject of mental illness and violence in a different manner. They have botched it up and are sending more confusing messages to the audience.

If there has been at least one statement regarding the mental illness part, I would not have made this post. For eg. if  Madhuri would have said that people often don't understand the first symptoms which can lead to Viraj like state or if she would have pointed out many people like Dobriyals make the mistake of not continuing the treatment.  Even today, when Viraj has hurt himself we have seen one of the old statements of Madhuri against domestic violence.

As far as the crossing of limit by viraj is concerned he has crossed limit and many a time he has done it in calculated way.

First of all, he scammed Jahnvi's father in a cold-blooded manner. If he wanted to shut her mouth, he could have emotionally blackmailed her by hurting himself or threatening to commit suicide if she leaves.

If putting family in trouble was the best option for him, then he could have created any other kind of problem like robbery, small accident, but he did something which humiliated Jahnvi's family in front of everyone. In fact, to show himself to be a great man, he let his goons to insult Damodar in the market.

As far as Sanju is concerned, it was not necessary to put him in jail. If Sanju was trying to reveal the truth by getting hold of Viraj's goon, then Viraj could have get the goon out of the city and threat Sanju without coming in the front.

We all know that Viraj has twisted thought pattern but despite it, Viraj could have done less damage to Jahnvi's family considering his well-laid plans and cunning mentality.

With all due respect, can you guys not talk anything better than law suits? She is talking about abuse, not about being insensitive, how many people in the first place are aware of such disorders and if a women stays back to be killed by her sick husband and ignorant in-laws, who takes the responsibility. By reacting to violance, she does not mean to be violent in return or to be insensitive to him, but if it was my daughter, I would definitely want her to be safe, specially when she is pregnant. You need a lot of courage and SUPPORT from family and society to convince such individuals to admit in the first place they they need help. I do perfectly understand their situation and do sympathize with them. It is the  parents of such children who need to take the first step and help their children right from the time they see the symptoms.
