Guniyal has every right to b worried n angry at Saras!! He is like a kid n don't we say - dil to baccha hain ji!! Saras is being unable to let go. In a way he is unknowingly playing with kumud's heart!! Wat was he thinking by saying to Kumud - I have no umeed that u will stop me when showing her the Dubai ticket or in the mandir - asking her the real reason she helped him or while returning her jewelry back?? I feel for him, he is completely confused n one can only say - poor Kumud!!
Guniyal is a mother, a very good mother n she knows how it gonna end for her daughter if this persists!!
Gumaan will b pouring her venom n Guniyal will slap her daughter for crossing her limits- that is staying so late outside with a man. I can understand this mother n I won't blame her at all. I am very interested to know wat dear Saras will do about it. Oh God I will b living if he starts his self inflicted mantra!! I so want to see a strong Saraswatichandra!! I don't want to see Dugba shaking him to realize wat he is doing !! For God sake he needs to take his responsibility !!
Going off topic Smrth again!! Tell me is it going as in the book? I guess not really right? Is it that SLB is re-adapting it? Because I far as I got it Kumud of the book was not like Kumud of our show right?? So can we expect that these two will end together not miserable n in a loveless marriage??
Btw u take ur time to reply. I'm on holidays so u see free hi free houn!! 😛
OSJ,
Are you inciting a spoiler?!😲 I am forbidden...ok...novel is in Four books (parts) . At the moment I am on second book as am reading irregularly. The second book is about Guniyal and her progress. But now novel is more fascinating for late late 19th- early 20th Gujarati milieu, spellbinding language ( bit challenging) and interesting weaving of the plot. For this read,Serial is now incidental.
Regarding your quarry, no, serial is not going exactly as the book. There are so many changes. And big one is Saras, not Kumud! In fact, perhaps she is most in tune with the original- comparatively. Though, she too is changed a lot, I mean in essence she is identified.
Two things are absolutely new; Guman-LN-Dukhba triangle. And Saras's Superstition! There was no such thing in original SC! Dukhbaa was such a minor and shallow charecter, she was hardly even mentioned. In fact, she was already dead when SC first visited Ratna nagari. They never met. SC was born and brought up in Mumbai. And LN was just a super rich merchant of Mumbai (I think textile baron). Although Gumaan did scheme a lot to malign her step son's engagement, ultimately she succeed because SC spent extravagantly on his new love ( a rare diamond ring, commissioned expensive painting of hers etc.) LN reproached him, not for money-.they were too wealthy- but because of Guman's misleading concoctions and other circumstances...the fall out was disastrous for Kumud. And SC regretted his impulsive step for life...as you see, in this line SC is much more blameable. I think introduction of DB-LN-Gumaan dispute and SC's superstition- mother's suicide are all pure innovations to reduce or lessen 'irresponsible blame' quotient away from the Hero's character ( none of these three in the book). I don't mind them here. For they do make this charecter more palatable. Otherwise, original is not that 'heroics' as we are sending him here. More normal and more error prone...
more some other time...😊
