Ah, the marriage discussion is still on. All of us are super agitated about it. Need to take it all out. Let's continue.
Indi
once he put that sindoor, however much he tried to tell himself, she's a home breaker (possibly compared her to "woh aurat"), he could never not act as her husband. and he put that sindoor/mangalsutra before god and fire, only for her sake. he could have just made her sign papers and live with him for six months under that same threat of breaking payal's wedding.
anyway, what's done cannot be undone. a beautiful special story it was. in the end, the actors and a few writers tried to keep the spark alive, i'll just take that and let the ugh go.
@Indi, bingo for above. He need not have bothered to go thru any rituals at all. For the second para, same here.

She lost every respect I had for her as an elderly when she purposefully tried to break the marriage on ARSHI's wedding day. That was utterly unacceptable to insult Garima in front of all the guests and to tell them to leave. On top the lowest was when she was taunting Khushi when she was waiting for Arnav.She was abusing her authority. No matter how hurt she was that was really low. So what they did want to tell try to follow the right course rather then what a person with authority tells you. So just because your dadi or your mother or father tells you- you do not go and break someone's heart
@Samin, I agree to the above. Dadi had come in with a mind that was poisoned by Shyam, so we know the reasons of her detest towards Khushi. When she finally met Garima and recognised her, she should have right then revealed to everybody about her and what would have followed would have been an engrossing track, probably exploring the past too. But, she chose to play games, act goody goody with Garima (how could she do that with the so called woh aurat), only to do the revelation on the marriage day. That was so not right, and I too, had lost my respect for her then.

samin, i love your take on dadi and why it became impossible to respect her. my feeling: dadi was never there in the initial ipk story. there were possibly chachaji, another woh aurat, others. dadi was introduced to make an extraordinary serial more "ordinary" serial. ugly, large, one dimensional character. is she ipk?
even shyam, whom i despise, look at the nuances in his character. the initial days when he is falling for khushi, sensitively handled. his quandary, not that he ever considered the morals of the situation or was prepared to give up khushi, but how gradually the ill intent grew, his tender emotions that grew in unguarded moments. his subtle manipulation of anjali, the sensitive acting...
there was writing... feeling... telling... ingenuity. missed all of that in remarriage and dadi.
@Indi, yes, I too feel that Dadi was not there in the original plot. The chachaji should have been brought back, but he chose to remain in the flashback only. I liked what u wrote about the progress of Shyam's character. It was indeed gradual.
- i love his "unbelievable" expression here...😳
