I guess heroine is Radhika aka Mallika.. (If this is the case, thank you Vidisha😃)

Radhika never had a colourful past...and she was a dutiful wife and dutiful daughter and ofcourse, dutiful mother. It pains me, when she tried to help her father, her husband (ek second keliye sahi) doubted her. Now she has to bear the brunt of her husband's ex flings too.

On the otherhand, Nidhi lost a beautiful aspect of her life due to misconceptions. Though, Nidhi suffered a lot and my haertfelt sympathy to her, I am really looking forward for Radhika's life after this.

Thank you Vidishaa for such a fantastic story.

Nope...Radhika isn't the heroine...she is also a flawed character...maybe she was fine in the beginning...but not after entering politics...I am not telling that all politicians are bad...some do work for the society..but Radhika isn't one among them...her loyalty is with her dad and she is following his directions..trying to emulate him...and Lallan isn't a good guy..though I haven't gone into the details of his crimes...the high handed manner in which he went about acquiring a 'damad' is proof of his 'dabagg' nature...

plus Radhika puts on a charade of caring for the poor...but she demeans even the middle class (read Dr.Ranganath) as 'chote log'

Radhika is flawed...in fact Ashu is marginally better than her...he respects people across the class barrier...he resorted to womanising after nidhi "Ditched" him ( though this is not forgivable...crime is still a crime..but just try and understand Ashu's mental state at that time..he had just lost his mom to leukemia..he was the only child...obviously his mom doted on him and he was close to her...he would have been devastated by her loss...and Nidhi's betrayal surely embittered him...)

But Ashu isn't a good guy coz he used Lallan's 'dowry' to rise in K.G.H...he has flaws..he is a protagonist and not hero...

Don't look for hero-heroines in this story...you won't find them...even Nidhi is grey...though only slightly...

Kanishk is the only innocent being in this whole ss...

Vidishaa.. Your story has been engrossing from the start.. I loved it like stories that have grey characters as there is no such thing as black and white..

Hey one Q have you written any story before Damad , if yes would like to read

I think this is precisely why your story has grabbed my interest and held it. I have even made a word copy of it. I personally can't connect well with perfect characters. And in my opinion every one has layers in them. Good and bad.

There was one great film director in our Telugu film industry. He passed away very recently. - Bapu. One of the most memorable movies that he made was titled - Pelli Pustakam (Marriage Book - literally translated) One particular dialogue in that movie has stayed with me.

"Manushullo manchi, chedu ani rendu rakalu undaru. Prativallalo rendo untayi. Avasarnni batti manchi, avakasanni batti chedu baitiki vastayi."

Translation - "People can't be divided into good and the bad. They have both in them. Necessity brings out the good and opportunity brings out the bad."

That dialogue is so true..isn't it...there is no clear cut definition of good and bad👏

Thanks...but I haven't completed any story before...my track record is really bad...😆

Hi Vidisha,

Thanks for the review Shirley...and 🤗 to you for liking the ff ( so far atleast)...

Initially I attempted to mould Ashu on an Indian politician ( who had liasions with servants)...I had planned to make him join politics instead of Radhika... I had a diff plot in mind...Kajri was to have a pivotal role in it..but I changed the plot midway and couldn't modify the parts that I had already posted ...

Kajri did show Ashu's moral degradation to some extent..he opted for paid sex as he didn't want the news of his libertine ways to leak out in conservative Lucknow...but change in plot made it all go awry...

If I do write Hasratein part-2 then you'll see why I initially introduced Kajri (I am making no promise of writing one😆)
