We have two sides to a coin.
Immature Ratan marries Diya to keep a promise. Mature Diya marries Ratan to keep a promise.
Both are equally wrong. But she is more wrong than him. Diya and Ratan know each other, she knows he will not be happy with this marriage. He knows that he is not ready for a marriage and definitely not to someone who is an elder with different views. His immaturity makes him take the decision. But her maturity could have stopped him. She is a successful, independent woman. But she fails.
Being an elder Diya should have refused Ratan's offer of marriage at that point. She is the stronger of the 2 given her experience of 12 years. She is a hardened person, who has faced obstacles and over come them. She is also a woman who is knowledgeable and successful. Above all she knows how much Ratan is totally not into this marriage. But she did not refuse the marriage.
I am happy that with this the makers have made the villains of the show to be Ratan's immaturity, Diya's guilt, the social norms and family's disappointment. The norms are very much valid even now. A SuKish is an aberration and not the norm.
Ratan's growing unhappiness is going to make Diya try to make the wrong right for Ratan. All her life she has put Ratan ahead of her for whatever reasons. She is going to continue that trend.
Ratan in his conversation with Yash said that he listened to his innervoice and that is what made him marry Diya. He obviously did not marry her for his dad or FIL's promise, or out of pity for Diya. He did it cause something within him prompted him to do this act.
I thought the removing of the knot was symbolic. Ratan and Diya are soulmates and are connected, no matter how hard he tries he cannot undo the knot.. their connection. But Diya will be the one to release him from obligations. Not untie the knot ofcourse... both cannot do that - its tied for eternity đ
And he will suffocate without her... no adventure will be fun enough if she is not around. Then he will become a puppy dog (in the literal sense and a very cute one đ) with Diya and make all kinds of open declarations of love and torture her. That would be super fun.
On another note... Diya is so accomplished. She, successful ran a hotel and made it profitable and also made sure that Ratan's life was safe. She was shown to be getting offers from around the globe, after she left KM.
From the business sense and in the real world she is someone like a Chanda Kochar or an Indira Nooyi. But in this drama world, look what the CVs have made her into đđ
She has become the BAHU cum Baby sitter đ¤Ł
