I like your post Navin.
Actually I also believe that CVs should show how to tackle creeps like Shyam in real life. They have shown enough abuse so far (both Arnav and Shyam) However everyone from audience understand and already by now know that Shyam is a creep. We need not see the repeat of it. Please tell us how to handle this situation. How is a teenage who is not comfortable talking about this to anyome (not saying Khushi, I mean any teenager) handle such person.
From the SPA awards, it was very clear that IPKKND is very popular among 15-20 year olds.
Whether we agree or not, these kids are really influenced by what is shown in the Televison. Esp a character like Khushi, who every girl wants to be, they will try to imitate what she does. God forbid, if something like that happens to their real lives, they would have no idea as to what to do.
If Khushi is shown to be a simple girl with morals who will go to any extreme to protect the truth, to protect her family, CVs should show that she will go to any extreme to expose the villian too, will go any extreme to protect herself.
I have a real life incident - Please ignore if you feel its too long.
My friend and I had joined a hobby class when we were 16 yr old, just started our junior college. My friend wear chudidar, decent looking and does nothing to provacate any male into doing anything.. She had very few friends and kept to herself most of the time.
The person who teached in the classes was a guy around 30 yr old and he was married. He used to stay in the same locality as my friend and sometimes he would see her in the bus stop while she was going to college. He recognised her and they used to say Hi to each other.
One day he sat in a seat bebind her to talk to her, she talked a bit.
The next time he sad next to her.
Third time, he bought bus ticket for her and at the pretext of giving her the ticket, he held her hand and smiled at her. She got uncomfortable with this action but she didnt mention it to anyone, even me becasue she was afraid of being judged.
The next time he suggested her that instead of going by bus, he will get his bike instead and they can go together. She refused.
The next time he came to the bus stop in the bike, forced her to sit with him and he dropped her near the train station and told her he can pick her up after the college and they can go to movie or have fun. He also indicated that his wife was not in town.
She was scared to death and finally realised the seriousness of the situation and ran away and met me at the canteen.
From her face, I could tell that something was bothering her, I had to pester her a lot, before she finally gave me all the details.
Now we both 16 year olds, I am telling you all we were shit scared.. no kidding, had no clue as to what to do couple options we discussed after lot of brainstorming(that i remember now) were
- lets complain against the him to the hobby class owner. (we were worried what if he does something to us outside the class if we complain against him)
- lets talk to parents - but she were uncomfortable to open this topic in front of our parents, thinking what if my parents blamed me for joining the classes.
In the end, what we did was just stopped going to the classes, coz that seems the easiest solution. There was constant fear of what will happen, we knew that he cant do much, but we had college at 7 am and she had to get the 6 am bus. There usually arent many pple around that time.She started taking an auto to the train station instead of bus and after 6 months she was finally over the incident.
I am not saying what we did is right or wrong, but when people watch such shows, they have to show it such that it is useful for people. Maybe we could have dealt with him differently had we know of options.
