Punar Vivah creatives have always been unpredictable. Specially when it comes to portraying Yash specifically. The way Yash behaved with aarti during the first 7 months of the series was not a hero's behavior. He pushed, shoved and insulted aarti every now and then, even if its front of a gathering of 100s. If viraj of saubhagyabati bhava does that, it would be domestic violence. When you write the character of a 'hero' - why portray him this negative? If it wasnt gurmeet, Yash would have been treated as a negative character at any places.
Now after Aayu's kidnapping, the same is happening. Yash has again turned verbally abusive and abusing aarti every now and then. In reel life, it might not look that negative. But in real life, that's a severe offence.
Yash is not meant to be a villain or an abusive husband. Atleast he wasn't meant to be at any logic. Why creatives keep making him one?
And why always women have to make compromise? Whatever aarti suffered, its a picture of all the women who have suffered negligence and abuse from their husband. Even when Aayu was kidnapped, why all the blame went on her? If Punar Vivah is all about social message, then they should also consider these things. They have kept showing woman compromising while male dominated. And while its totally a negative thing, they showed it as if its normal. Its not. If its a social message show, the message should come from all angle.
It is a great show. Gurmeet and Kratika will always be remembered for their chemistry that is wayyy different than other couples shown on TV. They were subtle, talked less and built their chemistry on eye contact and gestures. Also their looks and screen presence is a treat to watch.
But this thing would always sting me..that a show that was meant to give us a social message from all angle failed here. Even when its in an exit point, again turning Yash in to a 'typical' male is not a social message, it wont be.
