I was blown away when I went through the above video. The fondness, care and trust over here is above any marriage. Love is different from lust. Theirs was not a marriage, but companionship.
If we compare this to Indian context, our old grannies would say, if they were not married then it doesn't come under 'love'. 'No marriage certificate', 'he having sex with nearly a hundred men', 'she faking marital obligations with her husband', 'what will people say' and 'she giving birth to two kids with her husband' - the scheming women would conclude, more appropriately point out:
👉 how could Freddie, a man be trusted and
👉 it's an illicit relationship
How rotten can our minds get ? For the first time I feel disgusting about our so-called typical Indian mindset. But, there are other great people who had evident golden heart like-
Ratan Tata
Mughal emperor Shahjahan
Kalpana Lajmi
Sunil Dutt
Shashi Kapoor
So love is different from marriage or lust. We Indians should come out of the movie Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. We can call it, for me to explain... the movie Mohabbatein. Yes it's true, some love stories live forever.
The purity in the Freddie-Mary love story is unmatched. He made sure that Mary, 'his only true family' in his own words, never faced any financial hardships. He left a good chunk of his property and money in Mary's name in his will. He also left letters written by himself to her two children, which they were supposed to read after they grew up. When Mary's first husband found out his wife loved Freddie, her ex-boyfriend still in her heart, he divorced her. Then she was on the verge of big financial trouble, when Freddie came forward to help her and take care of her and her sons.
I salute Freddie Mercury, the man, the judgement he had of people and his caring nature. We all know that he destroyed his life because of his overtly dangerous habit of having unprotected sex. But his dedication and contribution towards music, will always be remembered. His love story with Mary Austin is above the rampant 'cheating husbands', 'domestic violence', 'dowry harassment', 'triple talaq' and 'marital rape' which has filled the reams and reams of police registers in India.
Freddie Mercury, you are a gem of a person in your heart. If you are watching from up above we assure you that Mary and her kids are safe. And you are the world's top most rockstar. We'll always remember you. Yours and Mary's relation is very pure, responsible and above, not all but in scores, 'mean-minded' and 'inhuman' marriages here in India.
So, forget gossip over gossip, let's learn a few lessons at least, from the Freddie-Mary love story and give humanity a chance.
So bye for now, with lots of content and thought we'll meet later...
