First off, I fail to understand why two fan groups can never communicate civilly when it comes to defending their favorites.. Is it so necessary for all of us to put each other down for having an opinion just so we can get the satisfaction of being right? I am not directing this to the TM. I am just generally saying this from whatever comments I have come across in this post, and others.
People here have given some fairly decent and logical answers. I'd like to give my two cents on the same. One thing I'd like to clear out that Swaragini till now has not shown a forced marriage between any of the four leads. Yes circumstances led them to where they are today. but they took this step by CHOICE not by force. Lakshya could have very well avoided the current drama in everybody's life if only he had curbed his anger for a bit and given Swara the chance to explain herself instead of making the irrational decision to marry Ragini out of anger. Whatever the case may be, that was his choice, his decision. Same is the case with Swara and Sanskar. They aren't being forced to marry each other. The circumstances are working against them, but again it all comes down to choices. It's their decision, their consent, to willingly marry each other because they do not want to give up on their plan. They could have instead chosen to declare the truth about their fake wedding, but they didn't. Instead, they have decided to go through with the wedding.
Coming to Sharmishta's failed marriage, I think any man who finds out that his wife is carrying someone else's child in her womb out of wedlock would react the way he did. Many may give the marriage a chance, if they are THAT good, but to each their own. Shomi's marriage happened under entirely different circumstances. She was pressurized by her family into taking that step. Whereas Swara is under no pressure. She can tell the truth, but she chooses not to. Again, it's her decision. And people here have explained very well the dynamics of realistic love versus fiction love so I won't get into that. I'd like to add though that the fate of one marriage cannot decide the fate of other marriages or relationships. If that were the case, then everybody would have the same life story to tell each other. Just like all five fingers of a hand are not the same, the experiences in peoples lives cannot be the same either. It all comes down to the choices you make.
As far as Swara still loving Lakshya is concerned, that is not entirely true. She still feels something for him, but it's more a feeling of nostalgia over the bittersweet memories of the love they used to have. Not love itself. As someone already mentioned here, first love being unforgettable is highly misinterpreted. Just because you can't forget something in no way means that you can't move forward from it. We all remember many of our firsts, our first day of school/college, our first car, our first date, our first kiss, our first salary, but do these firsts hold us back from our lasts? The answer is no. Because no matter what, life goes on. These "firsts" are just memories, not destinies.
How this results in double standards, I am genuinely failing to understand.
P.S: Someone mentioned here that because Swara kept looking at the door, waiting for Lakshya to arrive and stop the wedding, means that she still loves him. If that were the case, Swara is confident and strong enough to have stopped the wedding herself admitting she still harbored feelings for Lakshya and couldn't go through with this. Or basically any reason at all to put a stop to this wedding. Better yet, she could have told the truth about her fake marriage to Sanskar if Lakshya really is so important in her life. But did she do either of those things? No. The reason she waited for Lakshya to come stop the wedding was because she had once again told him the truth and this time she wanted him to believe it because if Lakshya supports Swara and Sanksar in exposing Ragini in front of everyone, Ragini will have nothing left to fight for, and Swara and Sanskar would not have to go through with a wedding to keep their plan in motion.
