How beautiful is this line , he does not even let his shadow know of his pain. He knows the truth, yet lives in denial, as that gives some hope. If he accepts the reality , the hope will be gone and when hope is gone there is nothing left. When Priya tried to remind him, that being the eldest son of the family he has rights on their love, he vehemently refused. He was very stubborn about it. He has been very cunningly ,not only emotionally manipulated but even mentally conditioned by Nandini, that look you are actually an orphan, Me, Shubhu and Shivi have come to your life as a blessing, we gave you family, and it is our large heartedness that we let you in, where as in reality it is vice versa.
I don't know if Ram will ever be able to break open from this childhood conditioning. It is way too difficult. Considering how emotional he is , how will he react when the reality of Nandini comes out. Ram is lonely, heartbroken but his trust on people and their goodness is still intact. When even that will be taken away, how on earth is he going to process it.
Priya's family is indeed a blessing to Ram's lonely life. The way Akki, bows down and touches his feet with so much respect, the way Sandy, Sara crush on him, the way Meera pampers him, feeds him with her own hands, is everything he deserves.
Also as you mentioned Ram and Priya are both tragic characters. The differences in the way they deal with it stems from the fact that the nature of tragedies that happened in their lives are fundamentally different.
Ram suffered physical loss of both his biological parents. His father did not give him a chance to feel betrayed by the second marriage, instead made him believe it is a blessing to him, something he must feel grateful for ,and he must take care of them. Gullible and naïve as Ram is , he must have been easily convinced.
His trust was not broken , there is no embarrassment, shame involved ,but how tactfully the onus of not letting the sautela thing break the family has been put on Ram.
The third tragedy struck when he lost Vedika. Once again he was heartbroken but the trust he has on her is intact till date. He must have been surely emotionally manipulated about the entire break up. Most probably he would have blamed himself, for not being able to provide the financial security that a man is expected to give the woman of his life. He must have taken the blame of break up upon himself instead of putting it on Vedika. His guilt of not being to able buy Lillies for her , haunts him till today.
Once again, there is a delusion, false hope that he can hold on to. Vedika is not a bad person, if he had been well off , he and Vedika would have been together. He forces himself to see only the good in others and flaws in himself. He ensures that his trust and hope is not broken, and hence there is pain but no bitterness at all.
Priya on the other hand has been forced by destiny to swallow the bitter pill right from childhood. His father openly left her, betrayed her for another family, even the reason for the betrayal is no secret. Unlike Nandini he does not even attempt to act like a good father. His despise for Priya, is out there in open.
Unlike Ram, there is no false hope, no delusion, nothing for Priya to hold on to . She cannot convince herself with any reason, ohh maybe my father loves me , but due to x y z reasons he had to leave me. Every important social event( Like her Kanyadan,Karwachauth) or say an official form, would remind her of the betrayal. How will the wounds heal, how will the bitterness go away, when the man himself, and the society together leave no opportunity to rub salts on her wounds. Every time she works hard to earn back the respect and dignity the father took away, he leaves no stone unturned in pulling her down and humiliating her.
The second tragedy ,is of Neeraj leaving her. That creep goes around and proudly flaunts at different places, to irrelevant people , that it was so intelligent of him to leave Priya and marry her sister who is more beautiful. If it was about money, she can earn that one day, and throw it on his face. But it was about beauty. The damage done is beyond a heartbreak, even beyond break of trust. To be rejected on the basis of appearance can give rise to identity crisis. Any weak hearted girl would have stumbled, resorted to make up, extra dressing to compensate, but Priya never took that route. She owns her looks in spite of all the inferiority complexes she struggles from within. That is where her courage and strength of character lies. No matter what life throws at her, she is not someone who will be crumpled. She will fight back.
Once again , there is no false hope, nothing to hold on. Neeraj was a mistake, and she has to own it. She has to swallow the bitter pill. No point of looking here and there for support. Maitreyi-Neeraj marriage diffused her personal life tragedy, into a mockery or rather an entertaining coffee table discussion for gossipmongers like Ram's Mami ji. The society won't let Priya forget that her sister was chosen over her, once again rubbing salts on her open wounds.
Ram and Priya beautifully fit into each others life and complete it.
Ram always gives Priya the respect she deserves. He has not only wholeheartedly accepted her for who she is, but also admires her for who she is . This would probably do a lot of healing. Maybe after seeing Ram hiding so much pain behind an innocent smile, Priya's bitterness will slowly wither away and she will learn to let go and love.
Priya on her part, has given Ram a true family, something he has pinned for all his life. Her taking care of his sentiments, going out of way and doing things for him he never even asked for, would give Ram a lot of solace. Ram can draw courage from her to face his reality and accept it.
The journey is going to be beautiful from here, until EK .....................................
