True, she's sticking by Shiv knowing that will bring her death. Everyone values their life, think how strong a love it is that she's actually willing to die for him. People just talk of giving up their lives for a loved one, she's doing it. Imagine the pain of unrequited love, and she's gone through that too...
You guys say she's weak for forgiving Nikhila, but don't they say 'to err is human, to forgive divine'? She's naive and trusting of Shiv- well he's given her enough reasons to trust him. And naivete maybe a weakness, but that alone can't make you weak...
One thing you have to understand it that Gauri aint going through all this coz she doesn't have a choice or a backbone, she does, and these are her choices. Getting married to Shiv, staying married to Shiv, embracing death... And in all this she doesn't have regrets! Yep, it maddens me to know the whole truth and see her waste her life on someone who is cheating on her, but it takes guts to do what she is doing...
Whew, now that was long... You guys shud have stopped my ramblings ages ago 😊
