I've never liked Hiten (nasty ungrateful moaney brat) and khemi is a little bit thick (falling in love with her nephew and then acting like a COMPLETE IDIOT by continuously running all over gujrat) but.... they love each other and that's what matters.
Santu on the other hand, got treated like crap ,(still does) and DM will only ever love his wife truly. He definitely doesn't love santu and her love for him is born out of infatuation/respect and that fact she feels it her duty otherwise what has the man ever done to deserve her love? and he finally said it today himself which crystallised it for me. He's old and she has her whole life ahead of her - doesn't she want kids of her own? what she's gonna have kids with DM??!! and she should marry someone her own age who she can stand side by side with.
Its late, and that episode made me sad. for once ekta's made a serial that actually has a bloody good storyline rather 1 or 2meetings--> falling madly in love/lust ---> spending 60 years getting divorced/married/kids in which love is easily lost/gained/changed! (KZK was confusing, KTH turned into utter rubbish and KSBKBT took the utter piss ganga/gautam/damini/karan/nandini !!!!)
