Hey folks, seeing the discussion on apologies, I am pretty curious. Do people within your family and maybe close relatives actually apologize a lot? I am just curious because I have grown up in a family where no one apologizes and the whole “elders don’t really apologize” was the norm. Even if there were fights between members, we just move on and it is kind of swept under the rug. Somehow, the lack of apology in PS does not seem as mind boggling to me, because I have grown up seeing this not only in my family but even in families around me( as I’m friends, neighbors)
Even with my husband, the sorry does not come naturally- I have to tell him “say sorry” when I am really hurt. In most cases, like Shiva Raavi, there is an understanding that the other party has realized their mistake and we just move forward from there.
Just saying that what they are showing might not be ideal, but is not really outside the realm of possibility. In fact, it might be more common and normalized than you think. 🤷♀️
interesting point...
Just like to show love you don't have to have to say 'i love you', There are umpteen different ways people express love, affection, pride to their loved ones. Be it their parents/ spouse/ friends/ children.
Just like that to show your guilt & to show you are sorry or ashamed & regretting- there are umpteen different ways people react. Sometimes mend the part the whole hurt was about (like how Shiva consciously pulls his hands when Raavi show discomfort)
Sometimes by mending situation that was the issue in the first place, sometimes by just hanging together, sometimes through hurt person's favorite things... there are SO many ways this feeling gets shared.
The more natural, more organic expression - the better & genuine!
Unfortunately, in current times- we live in this global world: where everything is getting standardized.
All MacDonalds & starbucks everywhere! Branding- generalizing- herd mentality.
Values are changing the meanings. divide between Needs & wants is deminishing.
From I love yous to proposed on bent knee to Sorry to Photo ops to Social media 'bestlife' announcements to pretty much everything is supposed to be certain way! Only differences are : settings/ backdrops/ outfits/ craziness/ oneupmanships.
This same applies in most Tv shows... Repeat/ recycled 'tracks' Nothing new. no situational upgrades.
Pandya store , thankfully has stood apart so far. Have kept things natural 7 simple per setting of the story, and thats what makes it good watch!
Standard 'I love you' 'I am sorry' works for routine couple like Dev-Rishita.
Not for Shiva-Raavi.
For Dhara - she needs conversation with Shiva & Krish, a few times. For, character of Dhara1.0 - her 2.0 avtaar left many scars.
For Dev- he needs extra efforts in daily happenings/ situations & needs good candid conversations with Shiva-Raavi both- to redeem his deeds.
Keep it real, keep it basic, keep it natural. That's the essence.
