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 .
As far as why shud it be the woman's lot to hold the family together or be the peace maker ...why not ? The argument can be made both ways ...Why shud an unbending feminist stand be taken just for the heck of it ? She did step into marraige , right ? Did she REALLY expect that she wud stay in a family and constantly be against it AND be happy ? It honestly does NOT work that way , not in real life at least . ! So why not show that some realisations dawn upon HER as well ? Marraige is a commitment too ...Vaibhav had clearly told her to walk out ! He has been honest right from before the marraige ! If she wanted to do BB BB BB then she shud have stayed with BB , what was the hurry to marry a rival group ? There can be lots of IFS and BUTS if an argument is advanced ...but my point is ONLY this ...If it never struck Devki that the ideal solution wud be merging BB with Viranis and finding a solution thats beneficial to BOTH , let her deal with the nitty gritty in a REAL way . Not once do I say She shud step back ...but she shud not be STUNNED when Vaibhav cryptically said that ...he only showed her the cut throat corporate mirror , there was nothing chauvinistic about his dry statement AT ALL . In fact the way he has handled this has been amazing ...He thought about it from all angles . Just making idealistic dialogues saying OH NO U MUST NOT STEP BACK ...to Husband , doesn't really mean a THING . SOMEONE has to step back , u cannot have it BOTH ways . The praise I felt for Vaibhav was as a sensible human ...not as a man .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 !
