Today's episode left me surprised and stunned.Hats off to the CVs for handling themes which have almost never before been touched on Indian televisionšš
I loved the idea of showing a live in relationship: Bold and novelššš
I loved the point where the CVs show how the wrong decisions of two people can wreck havoc in the lives of others with whom these two people are knowingly or unknowingly connectedšš

But what really prompted me to write this post were the proliferating views on the forum praising Nikki's maturity and strong willedness.I have a slightly different pov(as usual)š...I think the way Nikki has acted shows her immaturity,selfishness and bull headedness
My first question to the three wailing sisters: Nikki,Neha and Rhea is "What did you do when your brother and mother were breaking apart and slipping into depression ,? Rhea was working when all this happened. Why didn't she feel that it was necessary to offer moral support to her mom and brother?Why is she complaining that her brother and mom distanced themselves? Isn't it the duty of a mature adult to step up when the family is in a crisis?
Remember,this is the same mother and brother who toiled day and night so that Nikki and Rhea didn't have to suffer.I can remember Neha saying umpteen number of times that Nikki and Rhea were too small to realise the pain. So Dev Dixit ultimately pays the price for not letting his sisters feel the pain of poverty and scarcity. They ditch him when he needed them the most. Wah re Behnein...š”š”
Coming to Nikki..she was too small initially to handle all this...But at some point she moved to a woman's hostel..Cool...But ek doubt hai...Did she move when she was studying or working?..If she moved when she was studying,did she do a part time job and pay her hostel bills and college fees? š¤Or did she just move because she didn't "like " the house and simply thought it would be convenient to get Dev Dixit to foot her college, food and shopping bills while she enjoyed her freedom? šš¼Or maybe she got her brother to foot her bills, stayed with him, got a job with his help and then moved out leaving her family breaking and shattering?šš¼šš¼
The wailing sisters have problems with their mom and brother,right? So are Nikki and Rhea in touch? Shouldn't the crisis and the feeling of being "abandoned by their own in this crisis have brought them closer? Unfortunately, it does not appear so. The two are seemingly unaware of what the other is doing and seem to have a couldn't care less attitude towards everyone except their hubbies/boyfriends. Showcases their utterly selfish attitudes.
Nikki went to a hostel .Then to "escape her mother's constant visits(btw,this is the mother who apparently couldn't see beyond Dev Dixit)she moved in with a boyfriend. Really,Nikki?š I don't want to sound like a feminist or a chauvinist..but just being curious here...Who pays for that lovely apartment you live in?Do you share its rent?Do you have any kind of financial arrangement on how you divide other utility bills?Or did you just move in with your bf because you walked out of your house in a show of ego and attitude and then suddenly realized that the world goes round only with money,the same money that your brother showered on you without questions..and now the money you were earning was too little to afford the lavish lifestyle you were used to?
My pov,Nikki and Rhea had it all...They were showered with love,care,money and were spoilt for choice from the day Dev had any money to call his own.As long as they continued to get all this,they remained true to Dev Dixit. The moment their needs slipped off the list,they started howling. Typical spoilt brats...They don't know to spell trouble,but feel offended and ignored if they are unable to get the icecream of their choice.š²
They say that the character of a man can be judged by how he reacts in times of a crisis Some turn up their sleeves,some turn up their noses and some don't turn up at all.Well ,the family got hit by a crisis and Rhea and Nikki turned up their noses and finally didn't turn up at all.Rhea and Nikki...You disgust me...You are even more selfish than Ishwari Dixit(If that was ever possible).
PS:this laksh character reeks of selfishness.The way he was revelling in Dev's misery was quite apparent.He is going to be sent packing very soon..Nikki will be the first to come home..and why not,she has a secure haven where people will embrace her whenever she comes.
PPS:
I wrote this post in a hurry last night..and in the process I have left out some important points which could make the post more balanced.I am not saying that Nikki or Rhea are wrong in being upset or offended by their mom or brother's behaviour. As a teeanger Nikki had reason to be upset and Rhea had reason to feel bad too.But leaving the house and completely cutting off relationships over this issue is just not done.How can 4 bad years in a relationship undo all the good done over 15-20 years?..After all, ups and downs happen in life and in relationships...Us samay ghar walon ka saath nahin diya to rishta kya nibhaaya?Had they helped Dev to fight his battles and then complained of neglect,I would be the first to support them.
