I admit I am a hardcore sadist when it comes to fictional love stories. Today, I was hooked & booked by every crook and cranny. Right from Kumud's numbness to the whole situation to her hatred towards Saras. From Saras' desperate need to get to her. Yes I did genuinely feel bad for him today especially in the precap. It felt like his life had just been taken away from him. I loved how Kumud held on to that white cloth to remind her of Saras' betrayal. She lo(ve)athes him and how. I did wonder whether the writers had forgotten about the symbol of love Kumudsundari of the novel took with her after marriage i.e. the letter which she kept hidden in her blouse. But here Kumud had burnt everything except that white cloth. A symbol of unsuccessful love, betrayal and pain. There are no sweet memories for this Kumud.
What I love about the situation is that even though Kumud seems like a zinda laash, she isn't a statue. She's not dumb. That's her strength. But while she says she is doing it for her parents, I also see her pride as a significant reason to get married off. She has been hurt terribly so has her self-respect. The pace is absolutely brilliant and I'm sure tomorrow the 100th episode will be the most memorable one yet.
Both Gautam and Jennifer are doing a fabulous job as are the supporting actors.
