Damn You Khushi Kumari Gupta! - Page 10

Good post! But, I have to disagree with on point... that the original person at fault for me, still remains Shayam. And, while I totally and 100% agree that the release of the tape triggered things off, in (fictional) reality too, Shayam would have encountered KKG simply because her lot had been decided by (fictional) fate to be with Arnav. So, keeping in mind that Shayam didn't suddenly go psycho when he saw the tape, and always was the villain he is, then we can correctly assume that he would always have been a thorn in their sides, regardless.

The "blame" in my opinion for it reaching this far lies firmly with the female elders of Khushi's family. Her father tried and failed, then the mother/aunt got a clear picture of what was happening, yet allowed a young girl to handle the matter on her own. I don't for a moment feel that Khushi needed to go through all of this so she could grow up. Too early for one so young in my opinion. This girl needed to be running free and enjoying her life.. Not deal with a man who I'm assuming is in his 30s and is a ruthless killer at heart.

ASR will no doubt feel the pangs when all is revealed, and from the looks of it, he does a good job when he forces himself to face such emotions. All I would like to see now is this girl speaking up, and the CVs allowing for that. If the responses to women are not up to par, then the portrayal of women in this show is unbelievably pathetic. It's almost as if they are incapable of thought.

Woohoo for the first time on India Forums I think I hit a near 100 responses😊

I am just going to summarize and like to thank each of you who took the time to respond to my post. Thank you for your kind words and compliments 😊

I am not really a fan of either Arnav or Khushi in particular and just enjoy the serial along with the roles of the characters. I prefer to remain neutral which at times much to my chagrin is pretty hard given the bias here but that too is also a part of the fun. But that said I also really don't like it so much when undue criticism and scorn is heaped on just one character especially if it happens to be a woman. I think there is enough gender discrimination going on all over the world and it saddens me when I see more of it here.

I think many of us have been in very similar situations like Frockstar and Serial Junkie and have struggled to find the right way to point out the truth. My best friend had a sleazy multiple timing boyfriend (he even had the audacity once to hit on me while she was cooking something for him) and I gathered the courage to tell her all about the rumors and sightings of him with various women but she refused to believe me and even accused me of trying to steal him((( (Vomit Vomit))))) and that was the end of nearly 12 years of friendship though in retrospect I don't think I could say best as otherwise she would not have easily believed her boyfriend over me.

When you look at it from Khushi' point of view she did start off with all good intentions but when Anjali threw a hysterical fit over that Mangal Sutra falling (Lord was I irritated at her dramatics that day) she did what any good Bharathinari would do and promise that nothing would ever happen to rock her delusional happy marriage boat.

There is always this lingering doubt in our minds if we are doing the right thing and in some cases nothing happens but in others the outcome can be tragic.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the parallel discussions on last night's episode, got some great feedback and insight and now am looking forward to the new track of Sex Lies and Videotapes!
