Actually, I feel the writers have been successful in eliciting some sympathy for Lakshraj till now. However, the slap last night was highly unwarranted. It was not Swarna's fault for expecting to be a wife to her husband. Laskhraj ought to have been slapping himself, not his wife.
Why do I have a sneaking feeling that he might use someone else to be with Swarna sometime in the future?
Such things are known to happen. Hope the cvs don't go that way. I hope Gayatri encourages Swarna to take a strong step towards her own freedom.
