i just read through all the comments here, and i don't get it. at first, i thought that you were asking the forum why we are disappointed. but you are saying that we _are_ disappointed.
then i read a few more posts and realised that a lot of phorum pholk are kinda behaving like the world has come to an end, the earth has shattered, the tsunami has hit. and all 'cause mohan bhatnagar is now a married man?
why??? it's not like he is in love with poor ms. wistful riddhima. in fact, i think that this little marriage ceremony has infinite possibilities of removing some really hard battles that were facing mohan bhatnagar and his beloved mrs. vyas going forward.
think 'bout it: what was the most difficult barrier for these two? it was actually mohan bhatnagar's mother. and it was not just her, it was actually all of society who would point fingers in shock and dismay that a "bachelor" was getting married to a "widow -- a previously married woman".
well now. the tables have been turned haven't they? both mohan and megha are on the same page now, aren't they? both of them have now been ''married'' once before. for mohan to marry megha, he has to become a "divorcee" -- else he will be breaking the law. now _that_ would be sooo much better accepted in society! after all, that's why manav was okay in papaji vyas' eyes, no?
for all those who claim that this show, this script, this storyline violates the sanctity of our marriage ceremonies, consider something else that is a little more fundamental than the whole social mores thing: megha has taken all those marriage vows -- with full conviction, passion, heart and mind, in love, life and death -- with someone else already. and yet no-one has a problem with her "violating" all those promises? why? only because mohan bhatnagar is a loveable rogue of a man-child and kunal kapoor is a terrific actor? i know that if this had been another story from my past, i would have had several twinges of problems about it!
personally, i think that this show has a possibility of equalising the imbalance between megha and mohan just now. what is sauce for the goose, can be sauce for the gander. everything that society allows the man, must also be allowed for the woman. and the other way around too.
just like megha has been bullied to let go of the memories, the love, the marriage vows that she has taken with amar, mohan must also be given the freedom to let go of all of those things too -- and in his case, it is so much simpler -- just the vows that he has taken. his heart and mind and soul have never been touched. for him, it will be easier than what megha had to go through.
ya, all of this thinking is just a possibility. i don't know if they will play it like this. all i think is that they can. and should. possibilities like...
it can be a chance for megha to show how much trust she has in mohan and his decisions. even more than his mother. it can be a chance for all of society to see what a decent guy mohan is, even in comparison to the block manav. i mean, everyone (in the vyas family) applauded manav to be a hero when he compromised his reputation by helping out a widow and her child with emotional and money support. mohan helped save a man's life. is that any less?
why is no-one seeing it as having so much potential for good - no, wonderful - outcomes?
personally, i think that there is way too much overhang of the knowledge of old tv shows where scriptwriters dragged their characters through story-telling dirt and shame just because producers never knew when to stop a story. i know that all of us fear the same old poop recurring in this show. but they have been so neat and funny and wonderful in their story telling till now. i mean, other than falling in love with the mohan bhatnagar character and giving him far too much script-space, they are doing quite well in logical twists and turns, i think.
i just think it is healthier -- for us! 😆 -- if we let them finish telling the story and then curse them for the bad story. 'cause it ain't over yet, no?
so my response to this post is: i am not disappointed 'cause i think that wonderful things can come out of this moment and opportunity.
and i think that you of the forum should consider these as possibilities as well. see this point for all the infinite possibilities that the show can be about, challenging society and rules and convention. just like mohan bhatnagar does.
(and here endeth today's episode of lessons that mohan bhatnagar teaches us. 😆)
