Even now as the whole family was misunderstanding him it was Dugba who persuaded everyone to give him a chance and not be bitter towards him.
Saras has to confide in Dugba about why he said NO to Kumud in first place and what he feels for her now and what is it that stops him from changing his decision now.
Talking to Kumud is not possible for him as of now due to issues of ego and awkwardness and a sense of shame induced by taunts of Guman & Yash's mother. Either she'll shoo him away when he tries to talk or he'll forever keep searching for words to speak openly about his feelings to her and serial will drag forever!
I want Saras to have a pure heart to heart convo with Dugba like how one talks to one's parent or therapist. I hope Dugba listens to him and softly counsels him to rid his fears and walk into freedom!
Then Dugba should have a heart to heart convo with Kumud, explain Saras' condition to her and tell her how to deal with him.
Kumud is curious about why Saras behaves the way he does (why he smiles so less, why he considers relationships a burden, why he speaks so less etc.). Saras never tells her anything. I feel Dugba is the only channel through which she can get to access Saras' psyche.
Dugba should then leave them alone to talk things out with each other and then explain the entire situation to Kumud's parents.
In the whole process she must stand like a shield for SaMud and Kumud's parents, not allowing Yash's mom or Guman to ruin her efforts to extract a proper confession from Saras and mediate between SaMud and Kumud's parents (who as we saw in yesterday's episode get easily affected by Guman's BS and Yash's mom).
I do not think SaMud alone can manage things properly. We've seen what they've managed till now. Saras will not open up to Kumud so easily. And their tackling things alone makes them vulnerable to adults' taunting or suspicions. Better take the wise and experienced Dugba's help in all this to make process smoother, add a bit of legitimacy to it in so called zamana's eyes and make the process a bit quicker too.
Earlier also VC and party got angry about things hidden from them. Such matters cannot be handled alone as they are also living with their families.
Either of them should approach Dugba or Dugba should observe situation herself and butt in to deise some proper way out.
