From what I remember, Karan was attacked and nearly killed. I remember someone had attacked him in the stomach with a knife.
Damini’s parents particularly her father already intensely disliked Karan as he was an illegitimate child and disapproved of him for their daughter but had bend to her will when she was adamant she’d marry only Karan now that she has reconnected with him again after they made her leave Australia and settle in India just to get her away from him. They can’t force her a second time else she would kill herself. But on the day of their marriage Karan doesn’t show up as he’s bleeding and almost dies.
Gautam was her boss and invited to the wedding. He then starts talking ill about Karan and says he expected nothing better from a son of a woman like Mandira. He got her already distressed and pissed off parents even madder at Karan and by extension Damini. Then her mom and dad made a scene that Karan didn’t show up to humiliate them by abandoning her like this on her wedding day at her Mandap as an act of revenge tor rejecting him previously. An idea that Gautam himself planted in their head by speaking about how Mandira, his mom had trapped his dad Mihir nearly in marriage and wrecked his parents marriage.
Her dad then is like who will marry you now, Damini. How will I face the world, let me die… you know the drill.
Gautam then gallantly steps up like a noble soul who cannot watch others suffer. He offers to marry Damini in that very mandap and then her parents obviously are like you are such a great person and Damini is made to marry Gautam there and then.
Karan finds out about the marriage in the hospital. Because he wasn’t meant to die but suffer losing a loved one like Gautam was suffering from losing Teesha and their child.
No one ever called Gautam’s act wrong. Damini was asked to mend her way when she wanted revenge from Gautam and ruin him for doing what he did because now he was her husband and what was done was done. Her parents liked Gautam better than Karan, she was married into a *cough* decent, reputable family to a *double cough* nice man, so what more could she want?Ansh was killed because what he did was not something they could brush aside and bury under a carpet and make it look rosy and shiny. Had he been patient with Nandini and actually proven to be a decent husband to her who could wait until she was willing to take their marriage ahead and consummate their relationship, and THEN been exposed; he would’ve been forgiven too.
His impatience and his monstrosity led to his death. Had he been patient and smarter, more cunning and less brash, even he would have gotten away with all that he did to separate Karan and Nandini. Karan would be expected to make peace with it because Nandini chose to move on and was now his younger brother’s wife. So he better find a new girl or suck it up and die single.Mittali’s insults are mean because poor Hrithik almost killed himself. But Hrithik’s insults are inspirational because poor Munni became an IAS officer and achieved something greater in her life than just being another maid. So obviously there’s a difference. But the most important difference is that Mittali is taunting a Virani (even if she’s one herself too now and gave birth to another) while Munni was taunted by a Virani. In the immortal words of Shehnaz
This dual standard is so irritating if the show makers feel, any crime can be buried if not everything is wrong..
Pari had EMA(adultery isn't the only way to do EMA) while she was married and that's nearly forgotten now, but Noyna getting indulged in Mihir's EMA makes her the most evil one.
As I said yesterday, the primary culprit in this case is Mihir(unless she forced herself while he was drunk) but the entire blame is only on Noyna
later they will make it Noyna misled Mihir and Ranvijay misled Pari like both were kids and they most pious people.
About Karan being asked to remain only friends with Nandani, I don't think Karan Nandani and Karan Damini could be ever compared.
KD were more of a fling or deep friendship turned infatuation (I even doubt Damini was his good friend, I felt Karan Ganga were much deeper soul connected - obviously in a platonic way than Karan Damini). While Karan Damini were plotting against Tulsi and SN, Karan seemed to be more interested in the plans than to care if Damini has any threat there. He was pretty calm when she said she wants to give her marriage a chance. Moving on to Nandani from Damini was easy for him. Damini remained at the most a sweet memory for him
but Nandani was completely different, they were being shown as made for each other. Karan broke completely after her marriage while he had his entire family and new best friend Tanya (as he then thought) with him, while at the time of Damini, he had no family, even Anupam and Kesar were busy in their marital issues so couldn't be his support.
He couldn't move over Nandani even before he knew the truth of her marriage and clearly denied marrying Tanya.
But yes things could have changed overnight if Ekta wanted.
