Well, everyone's own opinion 😆 I wouldn't agree w/ that, because - yeah, it's true that Surya did all this out of seeking revenge from Jhanvi, therefore he let her being married to her brothers. And please, I know revenge or anger doesn't excuse this sin - that's our point of view, but Surya things different than we do. And besides, at that stage of life, Jhanvi herself didn't accept the marriage in the first place (when the ghar-pravesh was being done) and neither did Surya. After marriage, Jhanvi irritated him by stating he's her only husband etc...and it looks like he's believing it, too, now.
Him stating that women have no value - well, just look at his family which is pretty much messed up. Children just learn what their parents teach them, in this case it was his father (I doubt Shivlali could've done much) and if your father has this women-have-no-rights attitude and you're living in a village where no women is respected properly, how do you guys expect the children to come out?
To the one question "why Surya" - I think that's pretty much obvious, at least it is to me. Compared to other men in VP, Surya still has a little glint of differenciating b/w right and wrong - just a bit, but still he has. Maybe, he doesn't believe in women and their strength/rights, but to some point he does respect them a bit. Seeing this, he really is a confusing character, because at one stage he says "women are the way to hell" and the other he states "your mom gave you birth, if you can't stand up for her..."
As I'm seeing the whole scenario, Surya has never been really bad but gray shaded and highly influenced by his father, whom he loves a lot. But now, Jhanvi's changing him, she's opening his eyes so that he's able to make clear differences b/w right and wrong.
And I can totally understand that Jhanvi's forgiving him, because no matter if he dragged her into this situation (what he didn't do directly, but Rana) now he saved her from being raped - he saved her purity, which is the most important thing to a woman or should be. She's totally shaken and frightened, therefore it's just natural and totally understandable that she sees Surya as her saviour - what he indeed is. Dunno, where's the problem in forgiving?
Because, and this I said in the Ammaji thread (you opened, I think), that if a person's willing to change or/and does change - the person has every right to. If Surya changes (unkowingly for himself or willingly) and stands up for Jhanvi, proving that he's really changed and that he'll support her as his wife - I don't see why he can't be forgiven or accepted? I know, he isn't changed totally, but saving Jhanvi and slapping his own brother for her - this was a huge step towards change. And I really liked the lecture he gave his father, because it emphasized his doings.
So, I'm enjoying his developement 😉
