Lol omG abuse is abuse! The motivation for the violence is irrelevant! Balraj is the craziest wife beater and his reasons are that he’s dominating and hates being questioned. Some ppl would understand that and maybe even more so, if we ever learned his back story and let’s say learn that he is also a victim of abuse. Point is - it wouldn’t matter.
as for Ru- he’s being a pathetic baby. The writers have ruined his character development. You can’t go from loving someone so much one day to hating them and physically hurting them the next day. He was so understanding and such a team player a few days ago and now he’s just nuts. And all this b/c some douche bag said he’d swear on his kid as proof?? And he chose to take that word against Pree who took a bullet for her kid!? Makes 0 sense.And if this is driven by his history as a child abuse victim, then like I said earlier- the track does need to talk about domestic violence issues and how counselling can help. You can’t just ignore this massive character trait and let it be until the next time Ru’s feelings get hurt and he wants to pull someone’s hair. He is a child that never properly grew up and his immaturity is striking. Easy to forget when he’s cute and charming.
I also agree that the writers do need to show his emotional turmoil. It doesn’t feel real not to have that b/c Ru has been such a feeler and we’ve been privy to his inner thoughts so much. Especially at a time like - we should know what he’s thinking- whether it’s regret, remorse, confusion, justification etc.
Anyways, if he wants to hurt her, he should stop talking to her, divorce her and fight for Saraansh’s absolute custody. That’s a mature fight. Not this Bs where he doesn’t discuss what he saw or heard but would rather just pull her hair 🙄 don’t like it one bit.
During the chetna episode- when he fake slapped her, Pree threatened to call the cops. That was normal IMO. I personally like the one strike and you’re out mentality. Everyone should be like that- man or woman.
Word 👍🏼 Abuse IS abuse & sweeping it under the carpet of 'angry young man' is not done.
@bold - actually this would be a great way to address this trait. Also, kids imbibe a lot of the family environment while growing up & having Ballu as a father is a shit example. Does not excuse Rudra but shows from where he has picked it up subconsciously.
But doubtful if it will ever be addressed apart from "ghusse mein maine bohot kuch kiya" at some later stage.
