If you were in Kripa' s place what would you done. On one place you have ur husband who have hit Sheetal before, who can't control his anger, who almost raped his wife, who bought the DNA report. On the other hand you have your best friend who you have known for so long. At that point, you are thinking what should I do? Should I trust my friend who has not lied to me before. or SHould I trust my husband who says he innocent on one side and then he goes and buys the DNA report. In those circumstanes who would you trust more with the information you have. would you blindly trust your husband just because you have taken vows with him and that you are his wife? there was evidence against him.
I would have done what Kripa had done. All Kripa said was that Yes my husband has a short temper problem. She didn't acusse Angad all se did was answer the question. Suppose she hadn't said that but wouldn't it always have been in her concious that she lied and she destroyed another women's life. She would still have mistrusted Angad.
