Dreading this separation — Sai’s humiliation - Page 2

Unlike many members here, I am not looking forward to separation track for precisely this reason. I hate separation tracks. There are plenty of other tropes to move the story forward but all romantic stories- irrespective of language- harp on separation to make the leads have epiphany about their feelings.

Coming back to this serial,the way separation happened in KD was too egregious to be condoned or digested. I have no appetite for seeing debasement of FL self-respect for the heck of it.

Actually I am glad I found someone who doesn't want this track. I too do not want this. Though I have explained in my post above why this track is okay, I am not looking forward to it.

I am dreading to watch the upcoming episodes and I don't think I will be able to watch. I had skipped it in KD and I tried watching it today and yesterday and failing miserably. The way it is executed, that is why I am waiting to hear what they are going go to do in the Hindi version.

I have been thinking time and again what Virat can or would do if Sai does. How would it have played out in real life. Anyway in real life, the marriage proposal will not be accepted the way it was here and especially not with a horrendous past like theirs.

Totally agree, if they wanted to show separation, they could have got COVID as a reason where due to shortage of doctors and nurses, even medical students have to serve in hospitals and since CN has elderly people with health issues, Sai decides to stay in hostel to keep them safe, or she has to go to Mumbai for 4 month internship during COVID whereas Virat has to stay in Nagpur due to lockdown. So many ways to introduce separation without any insult or toxicity.

I don't understand when ITV will stop normalizing wife ko ghar se nikalna and separation.

Also is separation, pining only way to realise one's feelings? I am not able to understand that. Even in real life I have heard many suggest it to couples who have issues. If it had worked for some, doesn't mean it needs to with all.

Well I can tell you my story, when I was dating like 13 years back (feel so old now), my bf got into masters in US and I was in Bangalore and we thought we could do long distance and make it work and if it doesn't work out we will know.

But after he left, we both found that we meant more to each other than we actually thought.

In his 1st year, we always found a way to visit each other, so many video calls, fights, flight expenses etc and eventually we decided we have to be together.

I quit my job and moved in with him during his 2nd year. We married after he completed his masters.

So in our case separation worked and helped us into realization. Not sure if it's true in every case.

Oh ok 😆, I am one who has always avoided it or we never liked the idea of it I would say...for the very first time after years together I had to visit India alone but that was also just for a few days 😆

Glad it worked out for you and it is quite interesting to know.

To tell you the truth, after many many years (as you said feeling too old 😂😂), I felt like I should try it 😆.

So I don't stop myself if I have to or situation requires for me to travel alone and stay away for a while. If not for the pandemic, it would have happened once or twice this year and last year. Have time anyway to try these.

But I have a solo trip in mind, want to experience that. Also living alone away from all as a tourist and also as a short term resident somewhere is in my list 😆

For us it was mainly the realization that we want to be with each other, eventually lead to our marriage.

But we are independent since then, like we do our own trips n have our own circle of friends, we go to India seperately or girls trip with just my friends or he with his friends etc.
