At last we got the full back story, from two different perspectives. Who is right and who is wrong, how much truth in their individual versions? As Kabir is the protagonist, we tend to believe his version, but are their versions really that different?

On the surface, both were almost same, the difference is in the detailing. Can this difference in the detailing could be because of the perspective? Let's go step by step and analyse..

First about how they met and came close.. Both said the same here, it was Shreya who had fallen for his principles and commitment to truth (atleast Kabir thought so initially). Sounded like a fairy tale to me, a rich & pampered princess falling for a man who is not her match in socio-economical status, but beyond her reach in some other aspects (such as being morally upstanding). She continued to work for a company which was penalised after Kabir's exposure.. Doesn't it tell where her ideologies and loyalties lie? I am postponing the discussion on whether she had truly fallen for him till the moment of exposure. Even without the question, was it right from Kabir's side to accept her feelings and date her? Leaving aside their different backgrounds, even their mindset and ideologies didn't match (it is not necessarily that a person from rich background has to be without conscience), why did Kabir ignore this fact? What made him give her a chance? Is it because he was young and want to believe the best of everyone (much like how Ananya is these days)? Is it because his moment of success weakened his defences (Kabir said Shreya expressed her feelings on the day he got the award for'Most promising Journalist'). Or is it just plain ego trip for him to have a sophisticated socialite fall for man from an ordinary background with zero social life? I guess, it could be a combination of all these. We humans after all love ourselves the best, and when someone says they love us for what we are, it certainly gives a high, isn't it? Fine, Kabir started dating her and probably it was inevitable that he too fallen for her at some point in time, again, the feeling of being loved for what you are, is an intoxicating feeling which is hard to resist and which does arouse lot of tender feelings. I am not surprised Kabir had eventually fallen for her. Yes, I do think he loved her, in his own way, in the way he was capable of at that time. The difference between his love for Annaya and his love for Shreya, he loves Ananya for what she is (for being the mirror image of younger Kabir and has the guts to stand up for what she believes right, even if it means she had to go against the her long time idol), it is an extension of his self love, and this love reached the selfless state when Ananya brought out the real Kabir from deep within him, the better man who was lost due in the aftermath of abusive marriage. I do truly believe in what he said during confession, loving her more than himself. And irrespective of the outcome of this relationship (even if she is forced to giveup on him by her mother), he will continue to love her till the end of his life. With Shreya, his love has never reached that stage, he didn't love her for what she was, he loved her because she loved him, it is reciprocal, and there is nothing wrong in that too, provided he liked her as a person too.. Did he like & respect Shreya as a person? I didn't get my answer in the two episodes revelation.. It seems to me they were too different for him to truly like her a person, that seals the deal, their relationship is doomed from the very beginning.

Their marriage, it was doomed from the very beginning too.. Again individually they were right in their perspective, most women want commitment in their relationship and Kabir was right too in not wanting her to give up on her lifestyle for him. But Kabir let her persuade him against his better judgement, his mistake no. 2.

The marriage is truly a match made in hell!! They were never meant to work as partners, a mistake committed from both the sides...

The disastrous marriage ..

What I seen around me, among my friends, family and neighbours too, most relationships change after marriage. Most women have a different sort of expectation from a husband than a boyfriend or a betrothed (probably men too, but woman it is more common). Girls tend to believe that marriage gives them a licence to make demands, they expect to be treated as no 1 priority in their husband's lives. And most women also secretly harbour hope that husband would change for them after marriage even if they (husbands) declined to change before the marriage. This is where problems arise, and I think this is where this marriage started going wrong too..

Kabir thinks Shreya agreed to live an ordinary life with him without making impossible (for him) demands from him. Shreya probably thought being his wife gives her the right to expect to change his lifestyle, she still doesn't understand that he never agreed to her demands because he couldn't fathom them. When in a relationship, Most men and women pretend to like things which they don't really like, this is it just to impress their BF/ GF. Here I don't Kabir pretending anything (from either side of the story), but Shreya pretended to like his humble abode, his peaceful existence without any active social life, while in reality, she didn't enjoy either of it. And she from her rich background would not have realised that she is making unreasonable demands from him, because she could afford to live a luxurious life and why can't he as her husband enjoy what is her privilege? She probably never realised that he just didn't enjoy the active social life and parties she thrived on.. When she started realising that he is not giving in, she used another approach, by taunting him and insulting him.

They both talked about the other's aversion to their lifestyles.

Shreya's another complaint is Kabir having problem with her job. Did he really? Possible I think, considering he exposing malpractices within the same company.. But why didn't he raise his objections when they were dating? Another aspect of the 'haq' of the married couple? A boyfriend can't have a say in his GF's job whereas a husband can? Marriage seriously screws up one's expectations.

Kabir too agreed until that point that Shreya's behaviour could have been because of the typical adjusting time needed by women in their new surroundings, whereas Shreya seems to have developed a feeing that he never loved her (atleast that's what's she told Anita) and that she was just a status symbol, this statement is a very contradicting one, because it wasn't Kabir who chased her to date or to marriage, then how did she arrive at that conclusion? Makes me think Shreya did subtly used her manipulation tactics to get across her point and her side of the story is not just her perceptions.

The turning point of the marriage - where Kabir learns that Shreya married him for a bet.. What made Kabir take it as the gospel truth? Didn't Shreya do or say enough to convince him otherwise? Kabir did look like he had an open relationship with Shreya, he directly confronted her after learning about the bet, but why couldn't Shreya convince him? Is it because it is the truth or is it because she was angry that he could think so low of her and didn't bother to contradict him? Either is possible.. I do think Shreya might have started this whole dating drama as part of a challenge and a scheme to take revenge on him. But I really can't understand any woman going to the extent of marriage for such a purpose.. Only an outrightly evil person would do that, for all her shortcomings, I don't think Shreya is that evil, and also that dumb to waste her own life and two years of it for this meaningless pursuit.. Now the same question again, why then Kabir was convinced that she married him for revenge, it could be an after-thought after the marriage failed, it is easy for him to move on if thinks the marriage never had a chance to survive. Kabir did say both of them changed after that 'revelation', him from good to bad and her from bad to worse. Kabir's ego is affected that she never probably loved him and that made him fight & argue for every little thing, and Shreya as we have seen so many times, has more than her share of ego, she already thought by then he didn't love her as he is not yielding to her demands, and now with this new accusations, the ego comes into play more, how can he not trust me? She intensifies her taunts and all the other behaviour Kabir mentioned about. Yes, it was certainly a mental and emotional abuse, but like most other abuses, when it happened neither of them realised what it was, Kabir started believing all she wants is to break him, and make him a worthless person (which he was slowly turning into with his alcoholism and loss of self worth ) while Shreya probably thought she was teaching him a lesson to toe the line. Who is at fault? Both and neither, isn't it? This is the case two contrasting individuals making a mess out of their lives. Shreya, we might say was more at fault because of her arrogance and attitude that her status as his wife gives her right to treat him, the way she liked. The residual love had died at this point in time, what remained is the ego and a race to prove who is more wrong...

Why did neither of them opt for separation at this point? Why did they stick to each other? Is it because the middle class upbringing and ego of Kabir didn't let him publicly admit what a mess he made in his life? And Shreya's arrogance would have expected him to become the kind of husband she likes to have than accepting that she made an error in judgement.. Mistake no.3, committed by both..

The final nail in the coffin - As we had only narrations and not any visuals, we don't know exactly what transpired at the party to make Kabir so uncontrollably angry., Shreya at that point in time might have already known about Tarini and the great rapport she shared with Kabir.. If Kabir thinks Tarini's friendship helped him to gain back his confidence, it must have been noticeable to Shreya too. Was this tamasha she made of him anything to do with Tarini? We don't know yet, but what we know Kabir felt unloved and rejected, to an extent where he needed the momentary comfort another woman's embrace could give him. Why he went to Tarini's house? His narration gave me a feeling it wasn't the first time he went to Tarini for solace, but it was the first time the solace of her presence and words were not enough, he needed the physical solace. Was he drunk on that night? He didn't explicitly mention that.. I would like to be believe he was only inebriated in anger and pain and not with any non organic substance. A person doesn't always need alcohol to cloud his / her senses, extreme emotions could do it too,

We have very limited info on what exactly transpired and how. But my version is like this... Probably he wanted a fellow human touch to ease his pain, to soothe him, the touch and hug went a little too far where he started wanting more, started enjoying the solace a bit more for him to return back to sanity. I am imagining a scene like this, what if when Tarini wanted to put a full stop, he pleaded her to not to stop him as he needs this very badly, to make him feel like a human. All said and done Traini is a flesh and blood women and also an unattached woman, could she have denied this tortured soul the comfort of her body?

No, I am not sugarcoating what they both did..it is certainly mistake no. 4, this time committed by Kabir and Tarini. But I can see how words and denials would have been meaningless at that moment, how people can get carried away by feelings..

Kabir himself didn't justify or sugarcoat it, he didn't put the blame of this behaviour on Shreya, he committed a mistake, a very big one this time, and he broke the sanctity of the marriage even if there was no more love in the marriage. He conceded that he deserved the punishment he received for this mistake.

Unfortunately this mistake is so huge that it just didn't spoil his life, it also made Tarini the worst kind of victim..

I think Kabir after this act, did indeed very guilty about, not just towards Tarini, but also towards Shreya, because even if there is no love lost between them, she was still his wife and deserved his fidelity. That's exactly why he confessed everything to her, his mistake no. 5. No, confession is not a mistake, he was right to confess, but he underestimated the wrath of a scorned women, he didn't understand the extend of Shreya's ego, arrogance and also hurt. If he did, he would have not have exposed Tarini to her, he would have just said he had an ONS with a random woman. But he underestimated Shreya and for this mistake Tarini and his guilt are paying the price still..

Shreya as a victim of this ONS, certainly deserved to take revenge, on Kabir by filing divorce ( the divorce wasn't a punishment, but a blessing for him) and by dragging him through a media trail. But Tarini? Did she deserve this treatment? From Shreya's POV, she does, but from Kabir's POV she doesn't, and Kabir just can't forgive Shreya for spoiling Tarini's life, I can so relate to both of them here, and I think any guilt Kabir had towards Shreya died in this anger and hatred.

The pain in Kabir when he said how Tarini became a social outcast, how she started being known as Kabir Sharma's keep, one can understand the extent of guilt he had gone through in this, I don't think he can ever truly forgive Shreya for this.

Most of Kabir's attitude, behaviour are explained in this past revelation, why he was so ruthlessly power hungry in the first 30 episodes, what made him fall for Ananya, his insecurities when it comes to love. His closeness with Tarini and Anurag, his reaction to certain cases, all are explained. The only mysteries left are anurag's handicap and Kabir's obvious separation from his family.

Scrol down for Ananya's reactions, Tarini - Kabir's current relationship and Shreya's indication that she still loves Kabir, all this and more in my next post.

Shreya - One mysterious lady

When Shreya made the entry, she more than once clearly said that she is ambitious and doesn't care two hoots about the breakup for her marriage. She very specifically told Kabir that their marriage failed because of her ambitions. Another time, she also told she doesn't blame him for any 'dhoka'. Then what was she doing with Anita in the last two episodes? Didn't she very clearly given indication of an women who put her all and more in the marriage? And a woman who is heartbroken because of Kabir's betrayal? Why so much contradiction. Ans what is the truth here? As always, I feel the truth lies somewhere in between, in a shaded area... Shreya 'thinks' she did all she could do to save the marriage, who knows her taunts and put downs were her way of showing she cares... I see one consistent flaw in Shreya, she thinks she is right and she is the victim, she doesn't even try to see the other side of the coin, and here too this ego and self righteousness makes her feel she did everything she could do, and the same self righteousness (which got boosted by Kabir's slip) make her still feel betrayed & wounded by Kabir's breaking vows. Then why did she give Kabir the feeling (though I don't think he bought it) that she has moved on and doesn't blame him or Tarini for the divorce? One possibility, it could be because she wants to lull Kabir into a false sense of security before she could strike where it would hurt him the most, another possibility, her ego is not letting her ex to see the vulnerabilities inside her whereas showing the same vulnerabilities to Anita helps her in her cause.. Possible?

Is it possible for a woman to love a man who betrayed her and broke her heart? I am not the right person to answer it, may be some loves are eternal, no amount of abuse would kill it, I can't really conclude whether she still loves Kabir or not. From a third person POV, I could only say that it seems unbelievable to me. But the biggest question here is, will any self respecting woman flaunt her love for the man who cheated on her? Probably, heart and feelings can't be controlled, and Shreya too couldn't control her feelings and may still love Kabir. But why does she keep his photo on the living room side table for anyone who enters the house to have look at? I can understand she keeping the photo in her bedside draw and having a peek at it during her lonely mid nights. But keeping it out, that too in the living room? This behaviour of her makes me suspicious that she may or may not love him, but she wants everyone (first Malvika, now Anita) to think she loves him, because it serves some purpose for her.

And how does she know Kabir still meets Tarini often? Very very suspicious. She isn't what she claims to be, an innocent victim, but at the same time she isn't the completely negative vamp too. I am still of the opinion she is here for revenge, to break him again. And she thinks he deserves to be broke and lonely for what he did to her. Yes, this woman is more stuck in the past than Kabir.

Tarini - the unfortunate victim?

I know there are lot of difference of opinion in the forum about Tarini in the last 20 hours, why did she yield to Kabir, why is she still so close to him that she became his relationship guru and why she is still leaning on Kabir financially..

I already mentioned in my other post on what might have happened on that fateful night.. I don't want to deliberate more on it without having any facts.. But we can discuss on how it is possible for her to be such close friends with Kabir.. Fortunately or unfortunately, I am of the age where i believe it is possible for people to remain friends even after sharing intricacy. What happened between them is an accident and mistake for both of them. But they had moved on. I am sure it was not easy on either of them, especially in the aftermath of the scandal that broke. Probably the biggest factor that kept them together is the total lack of any other support system,, we don't know anything about parents of either of them, but we know the parents are not in picture. In such case, whom would they turn for support? Who else could understand what happened between them? Who else could have provided an sympathetic ear? They needed each other and they stood by each other and probably this need helped them to overcome the awkwardness.. Did Tarini harbour any feelings for Kabir? I hope she didn't, and it is just a momentary slip for both of them. Hopefully we will know about it in the upcoming episodes.. We do see a casual intimacy between them, the way they touch and hug, is it possible to achieve this if they had not overcome their awkwardness and raise above the physical intimacy they shared? For everyone who question the rightness of this relation, I have a question back.. Ronnie confessed his love for Ananya, it is obvious he was (or is ) physically attracted to her, we see lot of hugs and intimate gestures between them too., isn't it wrong of Ronnie to indulge in such intimacy when he is attracted to Ananya? Please don't think I am demeaning the friendship between Annaya and Ronnie. I am just questioning if it is not wrong of Ronnie (who until recently loved her) to hug Annaya, then how does it become wrong of Kabir to hug Tarini when probably they never felt any attraction for each other (after that fateful night)?

Tarini, I like to believe doesn't have any ulterior motive, i wouldn't certainly like another twist in the tale.. Is she a saint to give love tips and in general being a sounding board for Kabir? I don't know, her thoughts are never revealed, I like to believe Kabir and Tarini together overcame the toughest phase of their life and came out stronger, which made their bonding rock solid. They are true well wishers of each other, she truly loves (platonically) and respects him to harbour any grudges for him, and she probably had seen him suffering enough for the mistake he committed towards her and she as his friend doesn't want to suffer him more.. But I do think there is more to Tarini's story, my only wish and hope, let it not be something unpleasant,

Kabir said he uses her as his stinger, but we only seen one instance of her working as his stinger in the whole of 92 episodes. Then what does she do other times! She does seem to have other assignment too, once she left Anurag with Kabir when she went out of station for an assignment and another time when Kabir called her to inform her about Shreya's arrival, she said she was busy. Makes me feel, Kabir introduced her to the world of sting operations, but she doesn't work exclusively for him, probably she works for some other people including Panditji..

If Kabir could continue as a journalist after the scandal, why can't she.. My thoughts, Kabir was an established journalist with some hard hitting stories to his credit, whereas Tarini was an intern, obviously the scandal couldn't ruin him professionally whereas it finished her off.. Even Kabir couldn't keep her employed with him..

Ananya - the magnanimous soul..

Ananya did handle the whole situation with aplomb. I couldn't really relate to her accepting Tarini's continued presence in Kabir's life, but otherwise she lived up to her promise of blindly trusting her man.. Kabir didn't ask her forgiveness, because it is not her he committed a mistake to. She is not a victim in this tale and he had given her enough hints that he isn't without blemishes in his past, he never once claimed as the victim of circumstances.. Probably it did prepare her to accept his past with a pinch of salt.. But it doesn't take away the credit from her, she is truly a magnificent soul to accept even his relationship with Tarini, and the way she soothed him with her love was really really great..


Anita - The concerned mother..

The CVs took a creative Liberty in making Anita reach out to Shreya for the truth than Kabir, no point in beating about it. The makers needed the drama element ;). But Anita as the concerned mother was totally right in wanting her daughter not with 100 meters radius of Kabir. Agreed, she got manipulated by Shreya, but who won't in her place, even my own chilled out mom would be,.. Kabir has a tough in ahead in convincing her.. How will he achieve it? Will the fate & gods help him in his mission? ;)

Kabir - my dear soul bro..

I could have used 'n' number of titles for him, but I choose to refer him as my soul bro to prove a simple fact, he remains my soul bro inspite of this new revelation of him ;). Just like his Ms. Kashyap, I am not ditching him either ;). Yes, he proved that he isn't the ideal man whom we visualised him to be.. But I never expected an ideal man when I started watching the show, and trust me, ideal men are too overrated, flawed men are more fun ;). He is another mortal, just like me.. Makes me feel more connected with him..

Yes, he did lot of mistakes, he got involved with a woman with whom he shouldn't have, married her, probably not tried to understand her needs the way he should have, chose to stay in a relationship which tuned abusive for him, committed the biggest mistake a married person could ever do, and then sold his soul for his new power hungry ways.. But underneath all, there is a soul which is crying out to be understood, to be loved, and that's what he needs now, unconditional love and understanding. Thankfully his stupid reporter is there to provide both for him,..

There are too many posts on why he didn't do something or why he did do something. I am not going to judge him now, he doesn't need analysing , but an understanding from a fellow flawed human being, that's what I am doing now..

And it is the end of one long analysis ;)

cannot say whether the match ws made in heaven or not, bt they were really not made fr each other, Shreya as a young spoilt rich bard, and on the othr hand Kabir was a straightforward journalist, persuing his passion. Shreya wanted to complete a bet, and Kabir loved the idea of being loved. Kabir was then humiliated by her every time as he told. On the other hand shreya got a sadistic pleasure to humiliate Kabir( we can see this even now) So they were not really made fr each other!

I concur with your take on Kabir-shreya meeting, love and marriage. There were too many red flags from the beginning according to Kabir..even then he choose to go ahead.. Maybe like you said just the feeling of loved did the trick. Marriage does change the equation and expectations from each other I guess, at atleast in this case it did.

All I can say is they were young, naive who lived a life far away from reality and are still suffering the repercussions.

Coming to the bet, am not sure how true it is/was..its a very big accusation.. I cannot wrap my mind around the fact that Shreya or for anyone for that matter could enter a marriage for a bet.. Yes, fine I can accept that she pretended to be in love with him maybe but marriage? She runied her own life here too, no matter howmuch ever ambitions or ruthless she is I don't think she will destroy her own life, its not like she went off n married n is happy.. She too seems to be lonely and hurt by all these(atleast that what they showed ) who does that in right sense of mind, if she did she must be a psychopath.

Kabir bought into that silly thing? Like Priti in other post said maybe coz he was too broken by that time and it made sense to him in that situation. But I expected Kabir the journalist will have proofs for his accusation.

Coming to Kabir n Tarini.. Well it did leave me with bad feeling.. Not coz of ONS but coz of Tarini. She seems too good to be true. She doesn't seem to hold any grudge or resentment towards anyone be it Shreya/Kabir/ just in general at the world. It's not at all a small thing that she has to go thru and her life,future was ruined still under that wrath..but they show that she is fine with everything? How surreal is that? Is she a saint? I have a feeling there is more to the story than what's told or I became too cynical, thanks to this show!

Personally I cannot imagine me having a ONS with my bestie and be OK with it... not sure what I will do but am sure I would prefer melting down in the soil than to face him. No reason is going to justify my action. Yes am too small town and narrow minded. OK maybe I cant be bestie bestie again.

I just erased lot of my post :D I want to just let go about Kabir Shreya breakup.. But they blaming each other for their actions reactions doesn't look good, looks like they are just trying for a easier way out by blaming each other.

Ananya, I feel lot people in the forum got the "big jhatka" which was pointed Ananya actually lol. She took it wayyy better than us for sure. But then her actions always make question does she even understand the depth of the matter. Maybe it's good to be a non over thinker(lol am not sure if that word exists).
Man I got too judgmental here ;) I'll go see a episode of Sarabhai vs Sarabhai to get back to normal!

(I had drafted this to post separately. But when I read your post, I attached it as a reply. So few things are repetitive).

I did say earlier, "I believe Kabir was in love with Shreya. I consider, he is not virgin. I think, there must be some contribution from Kabir's side too for the marriage failure. All this will not stop me from loving KaYa. I accept Kabir with his faults". Areh why did I act like Ananya, without even knowing what he did? 😆

Episode on Friday ended with a cliff hanger, leaving audience to ponder again. "What was that big deal?". But to me, their narration with regards to their love before marriage had nailed it. To me, that was the deal. Shreya was in love with Kabir, ready for the commitment. Kabir was not. Given time, would he have proposed himself? We don't know.
There is always this problem between boys and girls. Priorities for boys in a relation is companionship. But they prefer understanding the girl before committing. Till then, they are commitment phobic. Girls seek security in a relation. Unless they know their boy is committed, they can't be good companions.

There was a smile in my face at the end of Friday episode from Ananya's point of view. Shreya might have stayed with him for long, might know Kabir's taste. But at the end of the day it was Ananya, for whom Kabir left his conference to stop her from leaving to confess his love. It was for her, Kabir was ready to let go everything of his, including his ego. Shreya can never say that, despite being with him for years.

So what was Shreya's fault? Do I buy her drunken friend's statement, she married Kabir for a bet? Reading Shreya, she is not that impulsive person to pledge her life and make a decision to stay with a person for a simple bet. She married him for rather simpler reason. She loved him.
Did Kabir love her? May be. May be not. A girl who can be ticked from all standards confessed her love. He could not refuse. He dated her. But a commitment needed love, which had not developed yet. Have heard in several movies. If your love wants to leave you, let it go. If it is true love, it will come back. It was the time when Ananya was about to leave, Kabir confessed. If Shreya had left Kabir during dating for Kabir's commitment issue, would he have realised Shreya's place in his life and gone back to Shreya?

To me, this was the big deal. Shreya did not do that. Why? She was insecure. She was not sure, whether he will come back to her. She had gone beyond love. Kabir had become her obsession. She was not ready to take a "No" after her emotional investment. She forced him to marry her. The main deal in their relationship is this marriage, where one was half hearted.

Remaining, I don't buy either of their argument. I can't believe Shreya tried everything including quitting her job for Kabir. After all, she was a woman living in a loveless marriage. She must have taken her frustrations out, with or without her knowledge. Nor I believe Kabir when he says, she kept hurting him intentionally. He was dragged into a relation with half will. The emotions he had during marriage was half love, other half being his insecurity. After marriage, instead of finding opportunities to make his love grow, he found opportunities to make his insecurities grow. He blamed Shreya for everything, including addiction to alcohol. Which addict blames himself for his addiction, that I should buy Kabir's story? After she left him, he wanted to get money, fame and power. So man, you wanted to do it in the memory of the woman who left you? If you had really loved her, you would have done it when she was with you, to please her (like how you accepted the company share, just to see the smile in Ananya).

Lastly, it is not the incident. It is the happenings after the incidence which disturbs me. Tarini and Kabir remained close friends without any awkwardness. There are two possibilities regarding that incidence. One, Tarini gave in unwillingly. If so, it was "rape". You can't forgive your friend so easily, even if he was drunk. Other, she gave in willingly in a slip of moment. I don't accuse her, by becoming moral guardian. To me, it is not the fact that Kabir and Shreya were married. I would have said the same, even if they were in a living relationship. Every relationship demands certain commitment. If you can't promise it, get out of that relationship. Whatever explanation you give will not take away the fact that, you cheated your partner while in a relationship. Lastly Tarini's reaction towards Kabir's revelation. A mom asking a child, "Did you show your homework to the teacher? Was she impressed?". 😲 👏

Kabir should have realised what emotional damage he has caused towards Shreya. He felt guilty towards his friend who was with him when he crossed his limit. But not a word of remorse for the woman, who was staying with him. Instead, hatred. Is a confession enough to forget what he did? Yes, she tried to spoil his reputation. Any other woman in her place would have done that. But despite this fact, she did not try to badmouth him in his working environment. Did not see that courteous behaviour from Kabir. Second, feeling guilty towards Tarini did not put him off from flirting with other women. He was carefree. Lastly, when Ananya said she did not want to know his past he just let it go. If he could pressurise Ananya to listen now, he could have made her listen to him before too. He did not have to wait till Shreya tell that to him.

I am not bothering to mention about the bloopers in the story so far. Ananya who followed Kabir for these many years did not know the scandal. Tarini is supposed to be working for Kabir. But Kabir does not know, when she is leaving for assignment.

Coming to Kabir's photograph with Shreya at the end. As I said, Kabir has been her obsession for which she payed (and paying) a heavy price. If she had left his thought out of her brain during her dating period itself, it would have been good for her. But she has not able to do it, despite being divorced. A rich pampered girl, who probably never heard the word "No" or received a rejection earlier, has to accept this bitter truth. How much ever she wishes, she was not and cannot be Kabir's love. That does not mean, she cannot be anybody's love. Right now, she is too bitter about the word "love". I feel, she badly needs a psychiatrist to get over her Kabir's obsession.
