Now, I may sound a bit regressive but kids are a very important factor. If you notice, even in International Shows they portray that ex couples try to sort out their issues for their kids. I personally know a couple who got divorced and a few years later remarried for their daughters. But what bugs me is that in our culture, always women are expected to sacrifice because a kid is involved. I strongly believe that nothing can be purer than a mother's love for her child. But since we are born, we are fed the over-glorified idea of motherhood where a mother can't ever think of her own happiness and always chooses her kids. And that's plain wrong. If you are not happy, how are you gonna raise a happy kid? I have read articles/stories of people who grew up watching their mothers suffer and that actually motivated them to study hard and earn some money so that they could leave their fathers' house with their mothers. And that's the reality. Sooner or later, even kids understand their mothers' pain. I can't point fingers to women who have zero financial support or education to support themselves. But in this era, when educated, self-sufficient girls/women are asked to sacrifice their happiness because a KID is involved, it just makes you mad.
Pari is obnoxious. And frankly, most of the kids of ITV. I am not criticizing the child actors here because they are innocent and doing their work. My problem is with how they are portrayed. Kids understand a lot of things - that's true. But these very kids are shown to plan dates (YHM) for their parents or to rescue their parents from the villains (NK) but then again they are termed as MASOOM, NA SAMAJH who can't know that their fathers are abusing their mothers, physically and/or mentally.
This is the only reason I have always admired BHOOTU's first season & Silsila for showing kids as kids and not match-makers. I remember there was a scene in BHOOTU that Pihu was over possessive of Suchi and didn't want to share her with anyone. But after her break-up with Aarav when Suchi was crying, Pihu was like - don't cry, if you want to become friends with him, you can do it. and why are you fighting. Give him a chocolate, say sorry and everything will be fine. And it looked natural. Because for a 7 years old sharing chocolate was the biggest thing and all she wanted was to see Suchi happy. Silsila was even better. Pari asked Mahek that why couldn't Kunal (Her father) marry Mauli Auntie & Mahek made it easier for her to understand that Mauli was already engaged so that couldn't happen. But they can always remain cordial with each other and her father and Mauli Auntie will always be there for her. And the 4 years old understood it.
Here the kids are solely introduced for reunion. So there's no chance that we can actually watch or expect something sensible from them. Here a 5 years old is supposed to say Mummy Ki Entry Ke Sath Sath Monster Auntie Ki Exit Hogi - which is blood boiling.
Today I was really pissed when Pari ran to Ansh. But then again, she is a kid who wants her whole family. So from the logical point of view, I had to digest it. But I was pissed enough to throw my phone away watching that scene and more importantly Ved trying to make Piya feel guilty for abandoning her kids and how she should stay for their happiness.
I just loved how Piya spoke out the truth and that too in front of both the kids. Niyati was fantastic in that scene. How I wish she maintained this. But as we know, next week Ansh will show his puppy eyes and Piya will melt.
Anyways, Jitna Mila Woh Bhi Kaafi Hain considering in mainstream shows, FLs never open their Goddamn mouth.
