Karan foregoing his own feelings for Nandini made sense in the context that when Ansh turns up at Shanti Niketan, Tulsi and the rest of the family is elated. They think their family is now complete. Later Tulsi finds out that Ansh is in love with Nandini and because Ansh manipulates Nandini into thinking he’s her well-wisher and a good friend, a reformed man; Tulsi sees them together and thinks Nandini likes him back too. Because she sees Nandini almost hug Ansh once as she’s crying on his shoulder.
Tulsi thinks Karan and Nandini are simply best friends who have a very Tom and Jerry vibe. She asks him to talk to Nandini and gauge her feelings about Ansh as she wants them to get married and make her a bahu.
Karan was crushed but he felt he owed Tulsi everything. She was the one who made sure Mihir accepted him and acknowledged him as his son and a Virani. She also ensures he stays at Shanti Niketan and then he overhears her talking to Baa and Savita one day wherein she’s discussing her will. She mentions how Karan has been included in it and will receive a share from her assets too after she’s gone. She doesn’t want him to feel any different or discriminated against from her other children. He will be treated the same as Gautam, Shobha, Harsh and her other son who at the time was not yet found.
Karan thinks he owes Tulsi and the Viranis and the only way for him to repay their kindness and acceptance is to sacrifice his love; since he thinks it will make everyone happy. He doesn’t know the truth about Ansh and his scheme until much later.
Nandini’s grandfather knows she loves Karan but disapproves of him, much like Damini’s father for the same reason - that he’s an illegitimate child born out of wedlock to Mihir. He is on his deathbed and asks Nandini to marry Ansh too as he thinks he’s a much better match for her than Karan.
The rape sequence happens because Nandini files for a divorce but courts are like try to work on your marriage for sometime, you are recently married and see if things can be worked out. If after 6 months things don’t change then you can get a divorce.
Ansh proposes a trip to Switzerland to Nandini to work on their marriage and she agrees to go with him - ALONE. He had tried to force himself upon her multiple times by then but failed because they were in the home or someone popped up always.
She was ALONE with him in a different country altogether sharing a room with him. So it was written all over… what would happen to her once Ansh has a chance to have her all alone based on the past events.They made that generation too… incesty..
