All those things you pointed out, true - but I feel a little out of context. On one had the argument is that she chose Sid because she loved him, not out of duty, hence the beautiful story of SR. On the other hand the argument is that she chose Sid over her love Armaan, so he (Sid) ought to be grateful??? I'm confused (and if you didn't say this, I apologize - my head's spinning from reading all the Sid shoulda, Sid shouldn'ta posts today).
All in all, I think this was a long time coming - she may have done alllll that you said, and then some, but honestly, I'll disagree on one count only.
In a marriage, SPECIALLY one with such hurdles, the guy has to know, in more than just words and far away actions, that the wife he took a chance on, and agreed to marry when neither loved each other, the one who he loves, and is gaga over, and is constantly trying to make happy, is indeed in love with him. And the ultimate move, and the basis, of a marital relationship is the security and knowledge that your spouse is yours and yours alone, to trust, to hold, to cry at, to rage at, to come to in anger, in pain, in happiness, in ecstacy, in madness. And that they'll always be there, FOR YOU. I don't think Sid, uptil this point, has much to believe that THAT is the relationship they have.
I realize some of the things you say SHOW that this relationship is made of sterner stuff, but I don't think Ridzi ever said those things to him ...
I think his ... questions ... were right in their place. I'm an ARian, and everytime I see these scenes, I do wish it was AR depicting them, but I have to say that I liked how the CVs made him speak his heart to her, and that she accepted it, and respected his concerns, regardless of whether she agreed or disagreed with him. And that she did something to make him happy.
I agree, it'll be sweeter if he says 'you didn't have to do this' and covers her up ..
and no, as I said in another post - I'm not an SRian in disguise, I just like Sid.
