I must admit I am a little puzzled at some of the comments. A woman should taste defeat or consider her family before she takes them on in a business environment? Why? Why should it be the woman's lot to be the peace maker or the person who holds the family together? It would appear that women believe that if it's a choice between career and home, a man has the right to chose work but a woman perforce must chose home. My dear no one here is saying Devki shud suffer defeat coz she is a WOMAN . I insist She shud be served defeat occasionally by the creatives so we find this serial more credible . We really cannot accept this story for long if EACH time SHE wins and IMV stands there , not displaying ANY of his business genius That has been spoken of so much in the serial . The struggle won't be interesting then . Infact I was thinking of making a seperate post on this topic . Infact I agree with u ...Women can do ALL the things man can ...so show a PROPER struggle , not such an EASY one ! Uptill now , her struggle has been nothing so special with her whole sasural pampering her every step of the way .
Virani group has enough and more businesses so why could the Viranis not step back and allow their daughter-in-law to take this business - at the end of the day it would till be their ghar ki bahu doing them proud. Again ...Whats there to be proud if ghar ki bahu is taking away business contracts from them ? Puzzled .π
Yes, one feels bad for Sid, and one admires him for his magnanimity in being happy for Devaki but maybe Sid's wife should direct her grouse against IMV rather than Devaki simply cos they don't have the courage to take on IMV. Is this the only business that the Viranis have that Sid could do? To my mind Devaki deserves this more, cos she is the one who is fighting for it while its Sid's dad who is getting it for him! What MAGANIMITY ? Why cannot he show same maganimity to his WIFe ? Why shud Sids wife direct grouse at IMV ? IMV is giving her everything ...she is IMV's bahu ...why shud she feel for Devki's personal idealistic goal of making HER maika's company big ? Again , Puzzled .π
And does IMV really encourage the women in his family? Is that why he never tried to get over Chandraprabha and didn't give his wife her due? Which is why he is happy to ruin Devaki's life? Even his reaction to losing this deal underlines the fact that what his mother is doing is right. She recognises her son for what he really is - egotistical, driven and vindictive - and while she understands and sympathises with what drove him to become so, she also has the courage to try and ensure that his vendetta doesn't destroy an innocent life. What does his love story with Chandraprabha have anything to do with proving how he does not encourage women ? Thats a seperate issue altogether . of course he is egoistic and vindictive , no one denies that ...but he does not tie his women down in the house condemning them to cook , bear children and be trophy wives ! He is today trying to crush Devki as a business rival ...he wud do SAME to a Man too ...he is NOT trying to crush her coz she is a woman . I find that laudable in him although he is a villain . A nice , refreshing Villain .π
I feel sorry for both Vaibhav and Devaki cos they are both pawns in a deadly game being played by IMV. Devaki cos she knows not that the impetus behind her marriage is pure revenge for IMV. Even more so for Vaibhav - cos he is feeling bad for a father who didn't blink about destroying his love life and has happily sacrificed him at the alter of his (IMV's) desire for revenge by getting him married to Devaki...I agree here .π
.. and whether you like it or not, when you do things driven by anger, desire to hurt, you can control what you do but not what actually ends up happening...IMV has rolled the die, but cant control where the chips will fall and what and who all they will destroy in the process! Agree !
Guess that happens in real life too. You can be a horrible husband but still hailed as sucessful and great husband simply because your wife is so good that she still doesn't have any complaints with you and still adores you. People marvel on how you balance work and family when the fact is that you don't do any balancing at all. You have always put work ahead of family and sacrifised your family obligations and responsibilities for work. It's you however who is called successful in work and family both when actually it's your wife and children who have made all the sacrifices. No one calls you a failure simply because you are lucky to have a family who has no complaints even if you love your career more than them and are willing to sacrifise their interest for your career. If you are professionally big then if you live in a family (are not divorced and there is no public knowledge of family discord), you are a successful husband by default and are doing a great balancing act no matter what the real truth is.
Or you can be a wonderfull husband but you are a failed husband for your wife is too demanding and no matter how much you do for her, no matter how much sacrifices you made, it's not good enough for her.
