This is one of the lasting images from HSSH for me ..when Sadhna tells Vivek his mother wants the family business and wealth partitioned ..and he thereafter goes and offers to leave instead of breaking up the family assets etc ..
Can we expect a moment like this in ITV when a woman will stand by her man in quiet support instead of delivering a lecture on how the family is sacrosanct and they should subject themselves to every sort of ugliness just so they could stay under the same roof ? I am not so sure ..there is something intrinsically wrong with ITV’s notion of what a happy family is ..happy family is not necessarily equal to a joint family ..it might work in some cases and might not in others ….even after listening to Armaan’s birth and lineage insulted multiple times, Abhira actually thinks it is fine to push him to stay in a space that has repeatedly seen him being emotionally and psychologically abused ..let us not forget that she was willing to sign her marriage away in the name of a couple that was anyway dysfunctional …whether Armaan loved her or not is not the point ..but clearly, despite whatever she felt for Armaan, she was willing to disregard his request to take a step back from the divorce process …he had already realized that he had allowed his emotions to get the better of him…he wanted to use the clause as an opportunity to buy time …and despite his express request, Abhira went with Kaveri’s plans …and now she trusts this same Kaveri and thinks she is upholding her own self-respect by taking a loan with Kaveri as guarantor …?
This is not to take away from Armaan’s mistakes at all …he has made several of them …but this obsession with the family is as much or even more Abhira’s at this point in time …and no, Abhira is not doing it just for Armaan ..she is doing it because she is craving a sense of belonging and she wants the cocoon of a large family ..let’s not kid ourselves otherwise !
