but this consent is forced by herself so she is blackmailed by circumstances. According to ur logic, if she says no to ons n let her son die, then would she be murderer? Becoz that would be also her choice.

she could have gone back to her in-laws, cried and wept and refused to leave till they relented. the way you see it, won't that have been better than one night stand where she was forced into it??

then in-laws would have demanded she give up the child if they are going to spend. she walks away. 20 year leap, the child grows up angry and comes across the mother and finds out she married another husband and raised his children and was a fantastic stepmother. cue anger, frustration and drama -- that is a typical plot trope you find in many asian dramas. the background arc to the mother who abandons her child and then tells the adult child off when they question her. I have lost count the number of times I have seen something like that they are all smushed together in memory.

as jalalrocks and hahahehe have summed up perfectly, katha like many women (as well as men) are owning their choices and that includes those who work as escorts or take questionable paths in life. it is not required we agree with them or that we support their choices. what we are saying is that making uncomfortable choice because your situation sucks does not necessarily make you a victim.

we all agree that viaan is an idiot who made an indecent offer. there is no argument on that there. the nuance is how katha reacts to it and how she sees her situation.

if you want to see it extreme way, then you are going to go bonkers when she falls madly in love with this man. this is a passionate love story in the original because the two characters own their choices -- stupid, bad and questionable -- and treat each other as adults who start their journey together because of one night. how does that make sense if she is a victim or sees herself as a victim? no, she falls in love with him because she owns the choices she makes.

I wondered if the desi version will go there but they are showing katha to be a strong independent woman who is not backing down from the choices she makes and neither does she want a pity party. so we are getting 100% grey story.

the beauty of a grey story is that you don't have to like the characters or agree with their choices. instead, you sit back and watch with popcorn because it is the story that moves. then you have fun. at least that is what I do. 🤷

Lets digress for a while.

Who is going to be Aarav's donor for this bore marrow transplant?😕

Whom so ever he/she may be having some rarest combination of blood cells matching with Aarav, as Katha been saying last 2 years they have been searching for a suitable donor.

How many feel donor may be a person who will be known well to Garewal's or Viaan or some office colleague of Katha? 😛and won't be just one off case who comes, donates & goes.

ooh, didn't even think of that angle. cue plot twist and some dhamaka drama possibilities! 😆

There are some interesting cues writers/directors of KA are leaving in episodes for viewers to contemplate, 🤪but been noticing many of us here online are looking more into OG & what will be used in KA or comparisons between both.

There's a reason why when Katha after years went inside her in-laws house seeking monetary help, a baby shower function happening got shown to viewers. Before leaving that house a traumatized plus humiliated Katha, still went back to give some money as shagun with blessings to her pregnant SIL saying 'may your baby be healthy with long life'. 😒

Now its shown SIL already has two daughters, family seems to be expecting a son now. Either baby of SIL will be born with some rarest illness or disability which entire wealth of Garewal's won't be able to cure or SIL develops complications during delivery so may not be able to conceive again after losing just born child?

Then papa Garewal's reason to melt towards Aarav becomes obvious, as he will be their ONLY grand son, whom both grand parents want to have access to.

really hope the baby comes out fine -- otherwise, it will be taken as katha's fault for giving shagun and cursing the baby or some nonsense like that. instead, am going to guess that it will be another baby girl and the SIL won't be able to get pregnant again due to complications. so then as you said, the whole 'only grandson' plot trope and its unending possibilities for drama will happen.

There's no point talking about Viaan here. What he asked and why he asked are all for the wrong reasons. That is unrelated to my point.

Before making claims such as whether another person has clearly understood the point or not, please try to apply your own advice - read what other people have said again. We are talking about Katha here.

For whatever reason Viaan made the offer, the fact is that Katha accepted it. And led the discussion. She owns the choice. That is the point. She did ask for money before the ons offer. And she also didn't attempt to explain why she needed the loan, nor did she give any explanation.

And people in the world generally tend to ask or say anything they please. There's no point repeating that Viaan is wrong. He is wrong, of course. But that doesn't make Katha a victim. That's where the grey element comes in this story. The reality here is that Katha accepted it and actively led the terms and conditions of the transactional ons, which shows that she's clearly not the victim here.

i know the full story n i didn't say that makers shouldn't follow original story. They should follow it but katha is victim becoz she is blackmailed by circumstances to torture herself. If anyone is forced by circumstances to torture herself/himself, then he/she is victim

if she is victim, then she should be taking revenge. not falling in love with him later, marrying him and having his babies. that is too messed up and seriously toxic. MLs can be idiots but they can't be villains.

lets just agree to disagree. you think she is victim, fine. some of us don't. thats also fine. 🤷

am assuming that there will be lots of reactions to tonight's episode and we might cross 20+ pages. due to bandwidth/server issues, threads in IF can only run to 150 pages. if we get to page 150, please start using the following thread:

P.S -- have also added other thread links (VMs, TRP and dizi) to the intro post in new DT.
