Usha,
Thank you and good post. I think what people want to see in Radhika's character is their reality for some reason, what they would do, how they would behave or what they would act on, how Dev should have been treated, how they would make things all better.
Radhika is a character, this is her story. We might not like what the creatives show from time to time BUT she is her own unique person in her own situation, no one can dictate what Radhika can or cannot do is this situation because our situation and our reality is not hers.
We choose to watch a story and its characters, willing them to come to our terms of reality is what is mere stupidity. From time to time, I think too that how come they make Radhika behave this way but this is the result of years of upbringing, noone has shown Shastriji and Devki to be perfect parents..
As adults we would behave in what we perceive to be is the right thing to do, Radhika is doing what she thinks is right, how Radhika deals with the consequences is to be watched.
I am actually very proud of Dev- Dev is Dev because of his selfless and unquestioning love. I think I wrote somewhere a long time ago that she is so incomplete yet she completes him so......
