The ONS, I only saw it as a transactional offer. Katha was desperate but she knew what she was getting into.
yea loopholes are part of the story. however, it is difficult to understand katha's point of view given the loopholes. since it was purely transcational offer that she picked among the other worse options, she owned it. that was what had been shown for a number of episodes.
now with the confrontation, it is difficult to understand why she thinks viaan did paap but she didn't -- if he did paap for making the offer, then she also did paap for accepting it. if she feels that she is justified as a mother for doing it, then viaan could also be justified for making this ridiculous offer given his trauma. or is she judging him for being a man with physical desires?
if she thinks that he has to answer to God for judging women, okay that is fine. that part I agree with. but she also judged him and did not tell him. he also does come from a world where flings and one night stands are common in his circle. so is she judging him for belonging to that type of high society? or is she just mad that he hit on a colleague and she sees it as harassment? is she mad at him that he didn't give her a loan when she asked? but why would anyone give that kind of money without any explanation?
we are not able to understand katha's line of reasoning as we have not had any internal monologues to explain her thoughts. so is she a religious person? is that why she is struggling with this choice she made and deflecting on to viaan some of her guilt? is she a conservative person and feels that sex outside marriage is wrong? is she a romantic person and believes that sex should only be between two individuals in love? there is nothing wrong with being conservative or romantic but what are her views on the matter? we don't know. so I need some sort of clarfication into how she operates. otherwise, it is difficult to understand why she would throw out some of the phrases she did when she was yelling at viaan.
my conclusion is that both viaan and katha are very confused characters in this drama. 😆
