Hello...I'm kinda new to the Balika Vadhu forum, but I have watched BV from time to time and I do like the serial 😊
Regarding this issue, I really think that the mess created between Shyam/Sugna is created by both of them, for expecting a great deal from each other AND for not speaking openly to each other.
I agree, Shyam DID know what he was getting into when he married Sugna, but again how old is he? I don't think he's more than 19/early 20s in age. In some ways Shyam's a man, but in others I feel he is still just a boy. I feel by being husband to Sugna he was not just desire-driven but also felt the need to live up to the ideals that his education had given him (which included feeling that widows had rights just like the next woman). But how often and how easy are ideals to live up to? After a while any normal being will want SOMETHING good to come out of the good s/he is doing, and Sugna constantly mentioning Pratap wasn't helping. I do agree though that Shyam was quite over-the-top with his accusations, but considering the consistency of his character before, was the man even in his senses when he said that? I think not. It was more or less a question of so much bad in their relationship that both Shyam and Sugna had reached breaking point.
Sugna made the similar mistake of not admitting to Shyam that:
1. Over and above everything, she was head over heels in love with him -- it's understood, but I don't think she openly told Shyam so, did she?
2. Even though she loves Shyam, Pratap is still a very important part of her life, but quite different now from the standing that Shyam now enjoys
Sugna should not have been as guarded -- yes, life has been hard on her and protecting her thoughts and feelings are more a part of Sugna as a survivor, but had she been at least a little more open, at least about the barsi and loving Shyam, it would have benefited her.
Add to this is also the fact that Shyam and Sugna are YOUNG! There's very little both know about life...and I think with the leap the two will also gain maturity and some understanding of the other person's troubles.
Sorry for the length of this post! I somehow always let my mouth run with me😛
