Hmmmm......... First off, there are no unpopular opinions, my friend, in Mili's book. Like Pooja said, everybody's opinion matters, as long as the debate is respectful.😃
I am not going to defend ASR for the attempted forced wedding. But, I give him credit for backing off, even if it is in the last minute👍🏼. He made sure that nobody questions her as well.
But, if Meethi saw a better future for her daughter with Aryan, if Meethi felt that a life with Aryan will prevent her from heading into a Tripathi black hole 🤢of giving, giving and more giving, and is she saw Aryan as a genuine, authentic, loving and responsible partner to her daughter, then it is not Aryan's fault🤔 That is what I am saying. He can't apologize for being a nice, responsible, sensible, non-egoistic guy who appealed to Meethi's heart as the best suitor for her daughter.
As for Meethi forcing Imlie, that is between mother and daughter. My beef is with Imlie. She had been wronged and wronged by Tripathis. Yet, she latched on to them and said " apne ko nahin chod sakti" and kept going back to them to deal with all of their financial and security issues👎🏼.
I do understand being mad at your mom for pushing you into something. But, BUT, look at the outcome of that push. She seems to be quite comfortable with her life with Aryan, she is getting the respect, trust, belonging ( I know Aryan's stupid no family, but I am going to ignore that for now) in the family, not to mention a comfortable life and she herself is mesmerized and getting attracted to him.❤️ She is free to spread her wings and do what she pleases. So, why does she still keep thinking about her mom in a rather angry and anguished way? 🤢When her own equation with Aryan has changed, her understanding or compromise with her mom's motives and zidd should also change na? Especially, when she is the protagonist ideal beti/bahu😭
I won't speak about the first marriage- I hate it on all counts💔Hope I made some sense of where I am coming from😊
yes, I agree with you; I was one of those who had no beef with this forced marriage track because I never saw it as forced. I saw it as negotiation and in every negotiation, you win some, you lose some. like I said before, aryan didn't ask her to save her beloved tripathy family or else. no she did that to herself. she could have always said "NO" and walked away. he also made the negotiation terms very clear -- you have to lose some to gain some. that is the heart of any negotiation whether it is politics, business or personal. so if she wasn't a smart negotiator, that is on her. "the world doesn't run on feelings girle!" was my reaction to imlie's stupidity to agreeing to the marriage 🤷
also if she had a brain, she could have told aditya off and not to butt in to her marriage and demand a ceremony. she could have insisted to the rathore family that she doesn't believe in rituals because her first marriage was ugh. lot of people who go through second marriages only want a court marriage. she could have wriggled out of it if she had used her brain.
so meethi finally was in some sense staging an intervention -- just as a family member would drag an addict to a rehabilitation centre kicking and screaming, meethi decided that the only way to break the toxic ties to the tripathy family was to get imlie married off. it was as simple as that.
