When people are intent on digging their own graves, we can't blame the undertaker for throwing mud and sealing the coffin. Why be unhappy when the person for whom she was refusing happiness was forcing her to accept it
I completely agree with your first line and I am not going to blame Sabina for it.. but I agree with Kools take on it.. had Sabina been a realist from the beginning.. much like IMV.. I wld have no issues.. but throughout the show and the last 2 months.. tht woman's projected aura was idealism.. she did not REFUSE HAPPINESS for DEVKI ALONE.. when Vicky asked her what she wanted.. coz what's her fate cld be Ds too.. she said she is not selfish enough to ride on so many ppl's happiness.. the whole family wld break apart with her entry.. and that's what happened.. if she were happy with her choice in the end.. she would not maintain the sharm-saar face in the last epi.. where she looked as dead as IMV... where she couldn't meet Ds eyes.. where she looked like she cldn't meet her own eyes.. I cldnt comprehend how Sabina could live with herself for a day after doing something that completely negated what her convictions were.. I am an individualist.. my statement to myself matters much more and above anything else.. and Sabina owed it to HERSELF.. for living with her dignity.. which at the end she bargained for.. sigh
As for VV.. he was someone I couldnt even recognize as having anything remotely similar to what he once stood for.. he was a living example of what LOVE can maketh a man.. when it becomes obsession.. he lost ALL PROPORTIONS.. he to me was as HELPLESS as DALI.. I can still have empathy for Dali but not for VV.. coz he had loads of help around unlike Dali.. he chose to completely disregard it.. for that one woman.. I was MORE THAN HAPPY he got WHAT HE WANTED.. my qs remains.. NOW WHAT.. LIVE that miserable existence with the object you so desired that you destroyed everything you walked on .. to chase it.. but at the cost of selling your soul.. your conviction.. with a woman who in all probability had done the same.. so tht makes a couple where both had ONLY LOVE.. but NOT THEMSELVES.. Sabina wasn't in the end woman he loved.. and neither was he the same man.. THIS was a GREEK TRAGEDY.. to live each day where they would be reminded of what they wanted.. and what they paid for it.. but in the end.. live with their bitter selves..with a colossal burden if they even comprehend it..
As for Devki.. I concur I was ghastly annoyed by her.. in her blind crusade... she completely overlooked all practicality around.. and even the greater harm it did.. but Devki had that OTT mahanta streak in her.. tht VV worked on.. in their marriage.. he balanced her.. showed her that idealism is an attractive option... but realism is far too difficult to follow.. THAT'S what I loved ABOUT VD.. what they both brought out in each other.. the min either of them stopped being that to each other.. they ran their individual sprint.. to doom.. Devki upheld her mahanta.. but atleast in her excessiveness.. she was the only among the 3 of them.. tht followed the conviction she stood for from the beginning.. as unreal as it was.. I am only saddened by the fact that neither VV had an inch of IMV or Charu.. altho he was invested upon for so long.. nor did Devki inherit CPs individuality..
IMV-CP/Parimita till the very end were the only 2 ppl I carry with me.. as impeccable characters with convictions of steel..they may not have concurred with each other's path in life after a point.. but they stuck to their guns unabashedly.. their statement to themselves.. to life.. and from life of prime importance.. now those are INSPIRATIONS for you
Sonali, VV and Devki, and IMV and CP I wont even argue because I feel the same. But was it really mass destruction that happened with VS union? Now, I'm not a VS fan or a VD fan. I'm not a fan of anybody, though I love IMV. But I'm not blind to his faults either. So, I'm not defending Sabina coz I wanted VS or anything like that. If anything, it didn't even matter to me at the end if VD stayed together or VS reunited. The thing that mattered was IMV and his journey, all the other characters had fallen off my radar by the end--Devki, Vaibhav. Sabina was not an important character for me from the beginning, a strong one, but not an important one. Even Vaibhav stopped being an important character, and Devki's importance remained only with respect to what she did for IMV. They all lost their individual importance
for me. Coming to VS reuniting on the ground of mass destruction, at the end, only IMV was destroyed. Practically speaking, the whole family had probably come together at the end. This VS thing that Devki fought for, and everybody fought for, it broke IMV and that was what was needed for the rest of the family to come together. Did I want that is a different question. I cared a damn about anybody else in the family by the end, except maybe Sid-Rajvi, but they were in the background like always. But in reality, the family united. Charu got love from her husband, he was a shell of his former self, but she was happy. Everybody was happy, except again, Sid who had an inkling of what was lost. I didn't see the last episode and I won't. I speak solely from what I understand of the story. And if Sabina was guilty in the end, and ashamed. She has to live with that; it's the consequences of her actions. Like pain of losing her first love is for Devki. Whether VS are doomed, I don't know. Whether Sabina will be as good a bahu as Devki, maybe not. But the family survived before Devki came, and Sabina is good at heart. She may not go out of the way to please people, but she wont go out of her way to displease them either.
