Since you have commited the mistake of raising my pet topic- the great Dixit khandaan, I would subject you to a few questions.
Did JW not marry Rosh/Sonali bcos of the curse that ND had laid on him? And was his decision to marry Pia partly motivated by a desire to free himself of the curse as she was ND's daughter? And finally, what if JW had known that it was a suicide, would he have broken Bani's heart by telling her the whole truth- I ask this bcos you have handled this topic in "Ajnabi"
Rgds,

Wow...So I did raise a hornest's nest (Is that the correct quote?) Excellent answers guys...Coming to your question Pri;
JW probably had forgotten everything about Kiran's accident till Bani came into his life! He never even had this thing in his mind when he proposed Pia for marriage! It was only the fear of losing Bani, the fear of seeing hatred in her eyes for him, which made him hold back the truth! I have always wondered why JW never thought the same for Pia before proposing to her? Maybe cause, he judged Pia correctly to be the materialistic and unemotional kinds who wouldn't be bothered even if Jai had deliberately killed her Mother! But Jai got to know that Bani was someone who was deeply loyal, devoted and extremely protective about her loved ones and the truth about Kiran's death would shatter her a hundered times more than it would affect Pia! I think the only reason why Jai did not marry Roshni and Sonali was probably because he didn't feel that 'thing' for them or to state it simply, he did not want to commit himself in a loveless relationship and Pia was unfortunately the first woman for whom he felt 'Love'! I don't think ND's curse was any reason for stopping Jai from matrimony, he was too strong a man at that time to be bowed down by such a thing, especially when he genuinly believed that it was an accident and nothing else!
Coming back to the second part of your question, yes, I think Jai would have held back the truth about Kiran's suicide from Bani, had he known about it! I am not saying this cause I made it a part of my story in 'Ajnabi' but cause I really believe that Jai is very much like Bani when it comes to the question of people whom he loves...Both would go to any extreme to protect them, even if it means their self-destruction! Especially after realizing his love for Bani, Jai would have gone to any extreme to stop Bani from knowing how her Mother had died, only cause he wouldn't want her to go through more pain than she already has! That was probably one of the reasons, why Jai never brought up the topic even once after Bani told him the truth about Kiran's death to Jai on KC Night!
Cheers,
MT
