Fatejo were always the endgame, but they have made the show so boring that it is sometimes a pain to even watch the episodes.
as far as fateh is concerned, I agree with what you are saying, they are rebuilding him, but i still dont agree with forgiving him. Now he feels the pain that tejo went through after seeing him on stage with jasmine. What about the pain tejo went through knowing the person she trusted the most betrayed him? and then he goes on to bad mouth her, then realises he still needs her help professionally and goes begs her to help him?
some might say jasmine betrayed him, but fateh brought that onto himself. he knew jasmine is capable of betrayal. the girl who left him on the wedding day (granted she might have felt cheated) was always capable of betrayal.
fateh migh be changing but that doesnt mean he deserves a complete white wash of all that he did. How to do you decide that now fateh has suffered as much as tejo and now they can get back together?
Also, it might have been much better, if they actually rebuilt tejo as well. Show that she is really moving on and then if fatejo come together and then fall in love again, that would be so much better.
While fateh is being given a nice redemption, tejo is becoming cringe. and now she will know that jasfa never got married and she will support jasmine and will continue the drama with angad.
honestly, if someone like angad exists, I would want him to move on from the mess tejo is in. he deserves someone so much better.
There were a lot of posts about how tejo always gets second hand goods, and how angad is also second hand with a daughter, and all of a sudden the equations are flipped. Angad does not have a daughter, he doesnt want tejo interfering or being a nanny to riya (but she still does what she wants) and now that tejo doesnt even try to move on, she becomes the second hand good.
Tejo doesnt even need to move on romantically with angad, she just needs to move on from fateh. atleast try. the difference between fateh and tejo is that fateh atleast tried to move on. he failed miserably but atleast he tried.
I'll start with a point which you make later, about second hand goods. that's ridiculous and dehumanising. People have a past, history and it doesn't make them second hand. Even if Angad had a daughter, he wouldn't be second hand. That's plain nonsense. Why is anyone concerned with first/second hand? Do you want to fall in love with someone or do you wanna give a virgin's sacrifice.
You do have the option to forgive him. It's not essential. Yeah he caused a great deal of harm to everyone, but in the show as well as in real life, it depends on those who've been hurt whether to accept the apology or not.
Oh Fateh brought EVERYTHING on himself, be it his destruction or redemption. And here's the thing when people say Fateh is being whitewashed. Nope. He's being rebuilt from scratch. White washing means minimising his crimes, not doing anything about his character but then just magically throw fatejo together after a few crying sessions. That would be whitewashing. However, he remembers his infidelity. Everyday he talks to himself about that. T gets flashbacks of both good and bad memories. F's character was flawed way before EMA, and now he's dealing with the core problematic issues his personality has. That's not white washing, that is character development. From a richie rich bratty arrogant asshole, to an actual man, that's the journey. This is why he left his family. Had he stayed there, he wouldn't have grown.
Oh yes, the lack in Tejo's character development is just ughh.
god forbid the way F tried to move on...it'd have been better for everyone had he just kept being devdas in Jasmine's memories. At least T is honest and not leading anyone on.
