I sympathise with Pooja to an extent - Mera Sab Kuch

I might be in the minority here, but I can understand what Pooja was going through. For someone, who loved her Best Friend and Husband, who considered him as her "Sab Kuch", breaking that relationship would require a legitimate reason. I know many of you are saying that her justification doesn't make sense and all of that. but I really feel it does make sense. And besides, they just began the flashbacks, there is a lot more to be uncovered. However, being an independent, young and educated person myself, I know I cannot live with a guy like Adi in that state (Pooja's Adi, not the current Adi). It's not because he is immature or that he is a pilot so he is always away. It's because there is a difference between being best friends and husband-wife. You can definitely be best friends and a couple at the same time. In fact, if that works out well, there couldn't be a better marriage! But it's imperative to have a balance between the two, which clearly severely lacked in Pooja and Adi's relationship. If I was in her place, I would have definitely spoken to him and tried to solve the problem instead of running away from it. Because you need to share your problems, compromise and work hard for relationships to work. If someone meant that much to me, I would never even think of giving up on that relationship.

Mostly, relationships are more successful if they are based on friendship. However, Bepannaah shows the story of a couple whose relationship wasn't successful because it was based too much on friendship.

There is no reason in the world that justifies infidelity. And the same goes in this case. Pooja made two big mistakes and they were
  1. Communication - The three most important things in a relationship are trust, honesty and communication. She didn't try communicating with Adi what her problem was (As per the story till now). She could have atleast tried to make him understand her feelings and expectations for their relationship. She should have held her stand in front of him instead of being the one to always compromise and give in, just because she didn't want to hurt his feelings.
  2. Cheating - I understand what led her to lose faith and love in her marriage. It is okay that she found love outside her marriage because she couldn't find love within. But, cheating is never the answer to that. I understand she didn't want to hurt Adi and their family's feelings... but cheating and having an extra marital affair makes it worse because that will hurt them more. She should have ended her marriage in a dignified manner with a divorce and then enter into a relationship with whoever she wanted. This would have changed the way people view her now.
However, I genuinely feel bad for her. Her way of handling the problem was the main problem. I am not justifying her affair, I never will. All I am saying is that, it is okay for a person to fall out of love. Real life is no fairytale. One doesn't have control over their feelings.

I agree.
Her reasons do make sense when seen from non judgemental eyes. Her method of dealing with the problem was totally wrong, but that doesn't mean there wasnt a problem in the first place.

Ya ryt... but she wanted his company n attention whereas Adi wanted love n loyalty which already lacked. Pooja nw broke him completely... She cheated him for reasons whch Adi dint evn knw.
She has tried to justify her acts emotionally but practically thy cannot be...
She expected Adi to be mature whereas she herself didnt solve her issues in a mature way rather chose to completely destroy evrythng in a wromg way!
Pooja chose to see Adi's immaturity neglecting his love n trust

N obviously... ppl arnt good or bad... its their actions, habits n intentions whch make thm. N by cheating... she fulfilled her emotional WANTS but broke his emotional NEEDS! That is bad

Was Pooja right created a false image of perfect wife infront of ADI , knowingly hurting him on his weakest point, self assumption ADI will not understand. , if Pooja really wanted 2 work on her marriage then she would had communicated with ADI. Believe me dear Pooja kind of woman can't be satisfied in anything coz they don't know what they want . I had seen 3 cases of Pooja type of woman in real life , infact one is living in my neighborhood.
Do u think Pooja was planning 2 reveal it 2 ADI , not in her dreams very practically speaking childish ADI still had a successful career , mature Yash was bankrupt & looser. Pooja ke expenses Ko uthane ke liye koi chaiye ,

So in pov traitor is always a traitor , they can't be justified

Yes in long run ADI will forgive her but it doesn't mean that she is not a cheater or coward person

But pooja did try to put her point that she too accompany him in his football matches to which he responded in his own ways that they are interesting unlike your poetry and all, he didn't even knew that she was hurt whereas his younger brother sensed that.
I'm not saying adi was at mistake, the poor guy didn't even knew he was doing something wrong😆😆😆 For him the marriage was the best thing he ever had. He couldnt understand that they are no longer friends but husband and wife and Pooja also didn't communicate in this regard.

Agree with you completely that life is no fairy tale.
Its just that when you love someone you want the person to be available for you if not always then atleast at moments of happiness or sorrow.

I love how makers have kept this so real. Adi is on different emotional aspect compared to pooja. For him love is friendship (which is jusified) and he shared his love with his forever bestie. And that made him satisfied enough for a marriage to work. Also pooja was always by his side whenever he needed her.

I hate to say this but Adi kinda became selfish coz he got to do things that he loved... Live the life on his own terms while pooja was like stuck in a marriage where her partner may not want to experience things and emotions which she as an individual deeply cherished. As a friend Adi should have been considerate towards her feelings ...that is a quality that a gud partner must have coz one cannot expect their partners to sacrifice everytime while one gets the luxury to withdraw .

I do not justify cheating at all. Hate pooja for this but yes i also sympathise with her to an extent.


Hell! Even Arjun could see that it was his bhabhi who did most of the sacrifices while her own best friend cum husband couldnt or he actually just wanted to live in ignorance. Obviously their marriage was bound to hit a rough patch soon. But definitely infidelity is not the right way. Two wrongs can never make one correct. Both were wrong... Not just one of them. So cut the girl some slack. We dont even know the entire side of her story...just few pages of her life.

P. S. I would love to have Arjun as a life partner... he seems level headed and understanding. Adi still has miles to go before he becomes someone you can term sane.

Falling out of love isn't a crime?? And it is expressly shown in the flashbacks that Adi wasn't big on communication. He was so caught up in his game he didn't even notice that Pooja was genuinely upset at his refusal to accompany her. I think that was the saddest part, he stopped noticing.
Disclaimer: I don't condone cheating in any way, shape or form.

A person can fall out of love , so true.. but the way how people deal with it is what matters the most. Pooja was happy with Adi until they were just friends and may be even after marriage for certain days and she felt something a miss and she found out that in Yash... And we never know may be after few years she may feel once again that at that stage of her life she wanted something else in her life which she may think that is missing in Yash then she can fall in love with some one else and cheat Yash too.. may be cheat Yash and Adi both with a 3rd guy...

I mean, yeah I can feel for her when she is complaining that she compromised for watching foot ball match but Adi is not ready to attend a Poetry night with her.. but I felt Pooja is selfish how she herself justifying her cheating ...As you said there is an option that she can put an extra effort in their relationship and discuss things with Adi multiple times ... And even if she feels it's not working then she can opt for divorce- It will hurt Adi but not definitely this much how he is feeling now, Pooja is portrayed as matured person so she should have understand that how worse Adi's situation if he comes to know that she is cheating.. I somehow feel Pooja's choices were consciously made.. when she written in her dairy that she finally found some one who can be her love and friend she was so sure that there was no love between her and Adi and at least she felt so and there were no conflicting emotions involved like she still wants Adi friend ship and Yash's love... It was like Yash is enough for her .. as a friend and lover.. then after that 3yrs she continued to be as Adi's wife and is building a new new relationship with Yash,🤔 andtherecould be reasons that she is feared for society norms or may be that she need to invest Adi money in Yash' business which may not be possible if she leaves Adi.. or may be she understood that she may need to leave her mother whom she can keep with her at Adi home cause Adi loves her as her own mom.. where as Yash she might have Al ready know that he couldn't take his 1st wife to his home in Mumbai.. leave about wife's mom...I really don't want to judge Pooja but I am really wondering what made her double timing..
