Tbh, the storyline doesn’t bother me much now because I am no longer connected to these characters. Kartik and Naira are not Kaira atm, they are only Kairav’s parents. Unlike the first time, they have accepted the divorce and the fact that Kartik is married to someone else. Naira, at least, feels guilty for coming in between a married couple but Kartik? How can he not acknowledge Naira’s feelings and how much it must hurt her to hear that Kartik is married to someone else?
What was his reaction today to Pallavi’s taunts? He told Naira not to listen to her and only to focus on their son. Isn’t that a bit selfish on his part? If your ex wife is putting her self-respect on the line to mend your relationship with your son, the least you can do is assure her of not being the one in the wrong. Why can’t he tell Naira the circumstances under which the marriage happened?
I feel bad for Kartik as a father but Kaira have failed as a couple. Since Vedika is not there, they have brought Pallavi as her replacement to make sure Naira is reminded of her place in Kartik’s life again and again. As for Kartik, he doesn’t care what anyone says, be it Vedika, Naira or now Pallavi. In the pursuit of only caring for his son, he is intentionally or unintentionally hurting two women and that’s not alright.
Naira is no saint either. Despite everything she still hasn’t once apologised to Kartik for separating him and Kairav. They are in this mess because of her choosing to run away. She took those early bonding years from Kartik and Kairav. She prioritised Vedika over Kairav’s happiness and decided to move to Goa which started the custody hearings.
Now that Kaira are civil towards each other, I hope they have a proper conversation in which Kartik tells Naira the circumstances under which he got married; his guilt for Vedika’s father dying because of him and the family’s emotional blackmailing. Naira, herself, won’t tell Kartik about Vedika’s suicide drama and the taunts but I hope he learns about it from the Singhania’s and knows Naira’s intentions of wanting to go away.
Coming towards the track, I would suggest just watching the show for Kaira if you can or stop watching altogether. The episodes will be getting more illogical from this point on. Kartik would disguise himself as a sardar because Kairav would insist on ordering a new father. As for me, like I said, I try not to read too much into the right and wrong now. I watch the show for Kaira. I enjoy their dreams even if they appear to be immoral to some. I am also looking forward to them being together in the same house and for Kartik disguising himself. It’s stupid and nonsensical but it might provide the much needed comic relief in the show. In the coming episodes, everyone will be going for a picnic. I hope we get some cute Kaira scenes there because like I said, I only watch the show for them now. Indian tv serials are the last thing you should watch if you are expecting reality or life lessons.
This is my personal opinion and people might disagree. We are only wasting our time and energy in trying to make sense of the show because at the end of the day, makers will do what they want to till the time they are getting the ratings.
