Yes, that's what even I believe. Letting go is not so easy and I think this is a learning process. It won't happen just like that, especially not when one gets everything he/she asks for.
Listing out some details about the 3 characters which gives us an insight into Pakhi, her mom and her dad
1) When the marriage proposal came Pakhis mom just wanted her to get married to the best family and the best catch of a husband even before they met the family or Pakhi and Samrat met each other . This was not only impulsive , but complete disregard to her own daughters likes or dislikes.
Yes!! I pointed it out many times. She is more into getting her married, as per the society standards, but what about her daughter's likes and dislikes? Just because Samrat is in army and Chavans are famous, she pushed her daughter. This makes me think, no one actually did any background check here
2) Pakhis dad though he came across as supportive, he would do what ever the daughter wants he mostly kept quite when Pakhi was going through the ceremonies and even when Shivani questioned are you happy with the wedding. How could he let her go through a wedding when she was crying all along. Was getting the daughter married the ultimate goal of their life? This baffled me since we got to see such a contrast in GC scenes between another father and daughter and Pakhi and her dad.
I felt it's like showing the difference of two upbringings. Both the fathers love their daughter but look at the way one teaches her daughter to differentiate between right and wrong. I think Shailesh can't say no to her daughter, whatever it is.
Now coming to the scene after he got to know that Virat is Samrats brother he didn't insist, instead made a statement that I am with you if you back off the wedding. So again he could not conclude if it's good to let Pakhi married to Samrat going by the Vaada or not. So no clear thoughts or conclusions after the reveal and fell for the daughter's tears. He seems to be a person with not much of a character or principles other than being a pendulum. Why couldn't he go against Pakhi and go talk to Samrat and others, even if he couldn't reveal about Virat, I am sure Samrat would have backed off. But he too somewhere felt this is a perfect match in good family for Pakhi.
I think he did ask her not to go for sangeet. But she wanted to, so that she can meet Virat. Again, as always, he couldn't say no to her daughter.
However, the moment he got to know about the vaada, he should have taken a firm decision. and the mother's obsession to get her married, as if Samrat is the last ladka on the earth It's not about revealing about Virat, had he tried talking to Samrat, poor boy would have backed off or given sometime to decide.
3) Pakhi imbibes the above qualities from her parents and lack of good parenting is pretty obvious with the added qualities we have seen so far. She blocked a phone number because the other person did not recognize her voice. Why should he recognize her voice, is he her lover or acquaintance no. Just someone she met a few days ago and hoped something happens between them. This was impulsive and high handedness which her parents clearly made her feel all her life is what I am guessing similar to moms doing raja beta talks with their sons. For her she is the most important person and everything needs to revolve around her.
Lack of good parenting, true! Yes, she is still the same. No matter what the discussion is, she makes it about herself. Sometimes I used to feel pity, for what she did to herself.
Things got more clear during their anniversary party. I don't understand why doesn't her mother wants to sit and talk to her, talk about her, talk for her what's this obsession with letting her go back to a place where she is miserable, which parents does that?
Next she agrees to the wedding instead of giving herself some time to clear her thought even when Samrat and others asked her multiple times if she is happy. This to me seemed like she agreed to the wedding to punish Virat than to please her parents or for herself.
Same here! Even I felt the same. It's like, you rejected me, so I can't be yours. Didn't she do the same on her first night? She called Virat to make him feel jealous by talking about it. She even wanted to prove in front of Virat that, she is more caring, matured blah blah blah compared to Sai. But why even compare? I guess people like her wants everyone to pay attention to them.
Next she finds out Virat is Samrats cousin and wants Virat to cancel the wedding and announce that he will be getting married to Pakhi. At this point we know she is impulsive and doesn't care for anyone other than herself. Virat clearly told her he cannot marry her now or later and it's up to her if she wants to get married or not. She could have backed off but she decided to dance with Samrat to get a reaction from Virat and when she did she tried to manipulate him asking how will you see me with your brother all your life. She is clearly manipulative based on this scene.
Why should Virat do that? Is he anywhere responsible for this mess at that point? How can he go and tell his family that the girl who is ready to marry my brother loves me/I love her. Even then she tried to put the blame on Virat. She has always been manipulative! God!
After the Vaada, Why did she agree to the wedding if she was so in love with Virat, what was she thinking she was going to get out of the Vaada. Even after the Vaada Virat did not force her to get married, it was up to her. Basically a sad Virat for the rest of his life as a punishment for not recognizing her voice and not agreeing to her demand of cancelling the wedding. This is clearly narcissist behavior.
She didn't love him, it isn't love. You won't punish your loved ones like that. How can you even see your loved ones miserable all their life, right in front of u!?
Exactly! Narcissist behavior. Virat seems to be so emotional for me. It's so easy to make him feel guilty for things he didn't even do. and she is so expert at this!
Now coming to the question will love change her. I don't think so, at this point she doesn't care about anyones love or care. We saw this in her aayi baba anniversary , basically ruining their party. So she doesn't care about her parents either. All she wants to see is watch Virat living a miserable life and have access to him 24/7. I don't know if there is medical help for narcissist behavior, is there 🤔.
You know, I always used to say, one who can't respect his/her parents can never respect their life partner. When life throws you at such horrible situations, your real personality comes out. Anyone can be so goody goody when things are going as planned. But at times like this, is what decides what kind of a person you are. The day she mocked Sai on her first day(for college), I understood this.
Right now, all she cares is to separate Sai and Virat. Didn't she say, since I didn't get the love of my life, even you wont All the medical help she needs is only so that she can't damage her life anymore. beyond that, I don't think there will be any change in her character. I mean even if she is whitewashed, I am sure she can be back to a narcissist.
Pakhi and her parents both are at fault for going ahead with the wedding and still letting her live this life and letting her negativity effect others lives day in and day out. But yes parents here are more responsible for fanning her egoistic and narcissist behavior and continuing to do so.
True! Parents are the only ones who can think for ourselves. They have seen us since childhood, know us in and out, but if they can't help us, who can? There's a huge difference between giving kids what they want and what they need.
