An ideal home is a market's bitch! says Mahesh BhatMahesh Bhat was the guest on Pooja Bedi's Just Pooja show. The topic is Divorces. Earlier on the show was Farhan Akhtar who spoke Divorces from children perspective. I missed this part hence could not capture. The 2nd part was more interesting with Mahesh speaking from parental perspective.
From an Indian scenario the prescribed morality is that a marriage is everything. A divorce is a total mess. We may not be as liberated as how western people see it. A divorce messes up a home, and more it influences how the children are going to see the marriage in future and perhaps run away from it. Mahesh shares his views saying that his muslim mother was his Brahmin's father's mistress. They were not married. Mahesh never resented it because he was happy with his mother. Even though his childhood friends mock on this issue, it never bothered him. What bothered him is that he was told to lie that his father is out of station and not the truth that he never lived with them. Mahesh says in his own words
the tyranny of man kind is to impose a model and judge everybody's life by that standard. He adds that
the problem is with the ideal of permanent relationships which are a myth and people struggle, lie, deceive each other to fit into that. Listen and watch Mahesh Bhat talk about his selfishness and how he would go to any extent for gratification of his own desires for an alternate life.
