The pond scene was really sad and gives as a insight into Saras's serious nature. So far Kumuds arrogance is coming out but that's just her defence mechanism. She was attracted to him from the beginning but knowing that Saras doesn't want to marry her shes fighting against the attraction and he's making it harder for her by being liked by all her family and trying to get closer to her so that he could see her face! I feel Kumuds character is similar to ashwariyas in hum dil de chuke Sanam. Nandini also made Samir eat chillies but later showered great love and passion on him.. I think we'll see this in Kumud in episodes to come.
