One should not judge a person by clothes i agree, but it should be atleast appropriate for the character
How else would audience identify with the character sruthi,? that she is bereaving wife, a patient who just had massive surgery? Her making food and walking like that gave me jitters. I am saying this with personal experience, walking after a delivery is not comfortable at all. It will take a week in normal delivery also to walk few steps without the other person identifying that something is not normal 😃
Lets take that also as creative liberty. But why on earth she is not shown as bereaving wife of a husband whom she loved so much. She will definitely give creepy vibes.
My only request to vankar is dont spoil her character or Sada's (they shared a good bond) for the sake of copy pasta.
Instead he could show Sruthi and Sada faking Sai's kidnap to make them one. How nice and positive it would be 😭
