I always have this one complaint with CVS that they are not consistent with what they create. They showed Gayetri as a strong woman who tells Ranaji to make up his mind in a hurry. But goes complete weak woman in front of everyone else. When Sulakshana was threatening to leave the house, why not look at Ranaji and ask that if HE chooses to stop Sulakshana then she will walk out or vice versa? That is THE best time to take a decision. Why would Ranaji take any decision ever when he can have his cake and eat it too? He can take FOREVER to make up his mind.
Either make Gayetri a strong character who will never lower her dignity for anyone or you make her same weak, goody two shoes, self sacrifcing moron as in every other show. You can't make her both.
On the other hand, Ranaji is a totally shady character who wants to hold on to his past and present at the same time. All he has to do is listen to his heart. Gayetri never asked him to do otherwise.
But he wants to keep Gayetri hanging because she is his ego-boost and wants to hold onto Sulakshana because she is his first love. If any man did that in real life, we would call him jerk and dump his a$$. But this is the so-called hero and King who does everything what other people tell him to. No wonder he is bankrupt.
