I am tired of looking through characters POV now . Now, I will be taking everything at face value
. Keeping that in mind, it is my rant for today's episode.
First of all, everyone is going in circles. I honestly don't feel Katha's trauma simply because of the way it is portrayed. Viaan was amazing yet again.
Reason for seperation(Shown in bits and pieces):
Her fear is that if someday, somehow, Aarav comes to know the full truth, it will be devastating. This is a valid reason as when no one knew anything about dark night then, it came out what are the chances that it won't come out now given that so many people know about it. Her past is an open book now. If she wants to protect Aarav from the truth, her best bet is to run away from her past. That means she has to run away from Viaan.
Her observation is that Aarav is unable to handle the convoluted truth. But, when he realizes the full truth, it will not be good for his life. Katha has suffered but, her next generation shouldn't suffer because of her past.
Although, she knows that Aarav will be fixed when she goes back to Viaan and Aarav and Viaan might even get along soon but, she will still leave Viaan because there is no guarantee that truth will be contained this way.
Shown reason for separation
Katha wants to keep away Aarav from Viaan because she wants to keep away. Refuses to give any valid explanation. And, Viaan also refuses to accept any valid explanation. Both are morons at this stage.
The fear Katha has with the dark night has gone to drain only reason is that Aarav gets angry on seeing Viaan that's why she can't stay with Viaan and his hate will hurt Viaan. It is like Aarav has covid so, she doesn't want Aarav to live with Viaan for life because Viaan will also get covid. How does that make sense
She believes that her love had bad luck and hence, it can't be fulfilled. Her reason for not marrying him is that Sehgals will be hurt. She can't destroy their lives. She has moved on and can't go back.
(Sounds weird, honestly this is how weird the reason shown is)
First of all, I don't feel an ounce for sehgals. They are literally NPCs (search on google what it means). If they die, they will make zero impact on storyline. Ruhi is somewhat OK. I feel for her, rest of them are very forgettable. And, Katha is fighting for them, it is simply indigestible to watch. And, Katha looks disgusting.
Katha confessing her love to Viaan was simply brillianty acted out and Adnan and Aditi yet again slayed it but, horrible dialogues made it unbearable .Her dialogues didn't make sense "Let's make another sacrifice for them". First of all, who is them? Why do I feel for them?
Her real reason for seperation, she never discussed it with Viaan in reality. Won't give full blame to her. Viaan is also unable to see the reality as well. He is thinking like a lover not a father. He also believes that the truth of dark night is buried in past and it won't spread any further.
Funny thing is that writers are well aware of the true reason. Katha discussed it with Vaanya in this episode. And, Vaanya was visible shaken at this realization . I think this episode was shot on the same day as the off air news declaration. After this episodes, all episodes have problematic dialogues. They came on track in this episode and went down the drain from this episode only.
