I've stoped doing analysis as it becomes too much. Your points seem valid, I agree with them. But my main problem is that they have portrayed Virat as an extremely weak character, too weak for even ITV, it's not something that I had signed up for initially and it's frustrating. It's not that he's bad, he's a nice human being according to me. But I've been frustrated umpteen times because of the way the makers are hellbent on making him a weak and complex character. Someone wil point out valid arguments (like you just did-made my mood better so thank you) that will be barely enough to come terms with it and lessen my frustration. It goes however round and round and well shows are meant to be stress-relievers right? I won't quit too, because initially it were Sai and Virat's characters that attracted me to this serial, but now I've grown a bit attached to the serial and now I will not watch for them. The makers have done a good job in establishing nice supporting characters with their own iconic dialogues 'Daado Sutto', 'Mast ha mast' and we still have the cute, fun banter between the characters and ofcourse SaiRat and the beizatti/drama that is still worth watching.
Well that selfish and manipulative angle is something I had mixed feelings about and I was also somewhat curious so I googled a bit. I'm sharing these excerpts from an article, interpretation is upto you.
Manipulative behavior involves three factors, according to Stines: fear, obligation and guilt. “When you are being manipulated by someone you are being psychologically coerced into doing something you probably don’t really want to do,” she says. You might feel scared to do it, obligated to do it, or guilty about not doing it.
She points to two common manipulators: “the bully” and “the victim.” A bully makes you feel fearful and might use aggression, threats and intimidation to control you, she says. The victim engenders a feeling of guilt in their target. “The victim usually acts hurt,” Stine says. But while manipulators often play the victim, the reality is that they are the ones who have caused the problem, she adds.
“If a favor is not done for you just because, then it isn’t ‘for fun and for free,’” says Stines. “If there are strings attached, then manipulation is occurring.”
Stines refers to one type of manipulator as ‘Mr. Nice Guy.’ This person might be helpful and do a lot of favors for other people. “It is very confusing because you don’t realize anything negative is going on,” she says. “But, on the other hand, with every good deed, there is a string attached—an expectation.” If you don’t meet the manipulator’s expectation, you will be made out to be ungrateful, Stines says.
