But honestly, look at this objectively and just 2 human beings, not Krishna and Pratigya.
Seriously, I hope you guys don't think I am bashing.
From the start she NEVER liked him, so he comes, breaks her engagement and terrorizes her family (this is means enough to hate him.)
Okay so he didn't do the kidnapping thing, but honestly would she have hated him less, she hated him before that as well, so what does it matter? If she finds out he didn't kidnap her...fine. BUT she isn't going to forgive everything else.
So she goes into the marriage hating the guy. AND THIS IS THE BIG THING! YOU CANNOT FORCE SOMEONE TO LIKE YOU!
So he tries everything and hes not winning her love, but clearly she is only going to see that none of this needed to happen if he wasn't forceful in the first place, she isn't going to see "OH look hes standing up to his family." Well there would be no need for him to go against his family if he left her alone in the first place.
So at the end of the day, comes the honeymoon. He is trying and trying but to no avail, because hes trying and he is her husband that means she should respond? be nice to him? start showing love to him as well? UHHHH NOOO!
END MESSAGE: if someone doesnt like you, they dont like you. u cant force someone, and even if someone is trying hard...doesnt mean u have to like them back. NO MEANS NO!
And because she isnt responding does not mean u can hit her? or she provoked it in any way. its not her duty to love u (even if she is ur wife) if she doesnt.
