Abhimaan – The Pride

I don’t know how many times I watched Hindi movie “Abhimaan”. Last Saturday, me along with my wife and kid again sat watching it.

We first saw it just after our marriage on a CD and now on Youtube.

My wife used to work before marriage. After marriage, she tried but it didn’t go as planned and then after kid, it’s literally stopped.

She repents on that thing and I always give the reference of this movie giving the reason – I won’t like if she moves ahead of me and that’s why didn’t let her try again.

In the movie, the heroine who was from a village background, who has no wish to perform, did so as per the wish of her husband.

She has talent and way better than her hubby and that takes her to excel further, a notch above in every aspect like popularity, awards, and the monetary terms as well.

Then comes the time of feeling insecure by the hubby – the hero of the movie.

The one who is free, fed up of the popularity, don’t know what to do of so much money, the fame etc.

But as his wife started singing, he feels like left behind. The director has shown it in such a beautiful way, that anyone can clearly see the clash of egos, insecurity, giving-in and get to excess of drinking.

But somehow at the end they both get together singing together on a stage which is a climax scene.

My real concern starts here.

As the movie ends, we think everything will go well thereafter. But in real life, would that be a real case?

The husband who was insecure with his wife, the sudden patch up and crying – will that help them be together or let be amicable thereafter.

I read somewhere – “the scars don’t hurt anymore…but I can’t forget the way they used to”

Two scenarios – if that wife would have stopped singing altogether, it is anyway a defeat of that person.

In other scenario, if same thing continued then how come it’s possible that the husband won’t have the same feelings as earlier.

If he doesn’t show it, it’s obviously suppressing it and if its seen again then that’s the real life.

The pain goes but the scars remain.

For me, though I am telling that I didn’t let my wife go for jobs considering the above, but if I would have, don’t know what would be the climax of our lives.
