I find solace in the following deviations
- Dukhba's character: why would they create her...just to show history repeating?...Nah...I think her sole purpose going forward is to get Kumud out from her current hell
- Gandharva vivah: Haldi, Mehendi, Sindoor at God's altar, garland exchange, kanku on the face, PMS...Why did the CVs take the risk of a media uproar on this...if it doesn't serve a purpose.
- Refernce to Ram and Sita: Yes, Radha-Krishna are the most prominent mythical/divine characters but Kumud in particular has made several reference to Ram-Sita. She compares Saras to Ram, also tells Kusum that their story is like Ram-Sita. Ofcourse, the disturbing part is their wedding date was supposed to be on the Hindu calender day of Ram-Sita vivah...then why did it not happen?...should we take solace in the synchronicity of the sindoor on her maang and blood on his forehead...But why did Raavan (Pramad) put the sindoor...disturbing
- Danny's character: Why was he created if it were not to be the strongest ally for Samud...Isnt he bharat and laxman rolled into one?
- Kumari-Umesh saga; Does this not make Saras's misgivings more forgivable?
- Kumud has already cooked a meal for LN and received money as blessing for it -- typically done by bahu only after marriage
- Karvachauth: This was total 'logic ki vaat' as arshi and a lot of you say đ, since A- Gujjus don't observe Karvachauth and B- KC is around the diwali time frame...Why did the CVs do this if not to give us one more reassurance that SaMUd are indeed man and wife...My guess is her second KC will also be with Saras...Mere muuh me ghee chakkar :đ
- Saras's entry into BD mansion: Why did it happen on suhaag raat itself...and why did she feed him her first cooked dish after rasoi-pooja
In the real world
- When Gautam or Utkarsh are asked about following the novel, they say yes it is being followed, but ask a direct question on the ending and they get evasive.
- In SBS segment on the scene where Saras sees Kumud in a saree for the first time (albeit as reflection), there is a funny segment where Gautam says something in Hindi very very fast that even Jennifer cant comprehend. If you listen closely, gautam says that people don't even realize that what they want has already happened...I am sure he means the wedding
- In the SBS segment on Karva chauth, Jennifer says that we will have to watch the serial to know if the wedding happens a week later or in the future...
