Sorry for digressing from all the hullabaloo created by this KN and A track. I've been a silent reader of this forum for a while and have been totally enamoured by most of the views put forth by the members. However there is something regarding Pratigya's so called unconditional love for K that I cannot agree with.

I feel Pratigya started out her journey as K's wife with acrimony and self righteous indignation but somewhere down the line,aided by Angad's disclosure and K's persistent efforts, her defences started crumbling down. She accepted the inevitable. She is married to him and there is no way out of it now or no major reason to break the bond.
Tho' no Hindi show will have the guts to talk about it openly, I think staying with K at such close proximity aroused some sense of physical attraction in
P, which she then wanted to actualise (hence, the surrender scene).
I still feel P is not in love with K (am I committing a sacrilege here?) in the sense we know love. Where is the respect, the loyalty, the dedication that love entails. She is physically comfortable with K ,we have numerous scenes to prove that. But methinks, subconsciously she nurses a deep rooted superiority complex and is embarrassed to have K around her in public. There are so many incidents when she has not stood up for him.
K and AM's confrontation over the pickpocket incident is a good example of Pratigya's washing her hand off K in public.
Is this true love or mere self gratification on the part of Pratigya.? I know no Indian show will ever show the heroine feeling only physical attraction for husband. It's a taboo,is it not? Plz tell me whether I have got it all wrong and it is all a part of self sacrifice that pratigya oh-so- loves to indulge in.

shy, there is a little (teeny weeny) bit of love in P for K. But the groW*H is stopped at the seedling stage it self.
It is overshadowed by 'I am always right', 'I know everything', 'I am the daughter of great sachai wala shyam saxena', 'I stand up for the truth' - false sense in her.

I think you have it completely correct.
She does not support him in public, in fact she is always sushes him up when he speaks. And she may mistakingly believe she loves him when there is only physical attraction from her side.

I think you're on to something. I liked all your points.
I think she feels an attraction towards him and maybe a teeny tiny bit of love or at least a bit of affection which are all a result of his utmost devotion to her. That relationship is so one sided that yes I've always doubted the depth of that love for him.
She does have a superiority complex as you've rightly pointed out. The pickpocket incident being a good example. I remember her saying 'Krishna what I'm saying is what is right'. She didn't even consider his POV not at all admitting that her way of seeing things is not the only way and maybe others have more valid points.
Her dismissal of him grates on my nerves. Taking him for the goods and easily shooing him away when things get bad, not according to her plans or when she's not in the mood to entertain him. She lets everyone insult him (she's doing it herself and very publicly at that, something which she will not tolerate if it was directed at her) each time without an ounce of anger, displeasure, disapproval on her face. She's always keeping mum, others always having a good reason to behave that way with him. She doesn't respect him at all....how a woman who claims to be so much in love with her husband can act that way? I wonder......

Sometimes I feel K is meant to be nothing but, 'Lady Pratigya's Lover'!

No shy, even though I agree with the point tht she didn't stood there for K in most of the times. But strongly feel tht she takes him for granted n feels tht she can be herself with him alone. She wants to impress all other... but there is no need she want to impress K ,bcos she knows verywell tht he loves her a lot.
note : sometimes I do like this towards my dear hubby.hehehe, He knows me well. iam what iam with him alone. with all other I go with the flow.so its not tht she completely doesn't love him or she was only attracted to him physically.

I think she loves him a lot. she is reserved. she doesn;t express it infront of everyone like krishna. she knows wht ever she does he loves her to the core. she already proved her love. if itis not for him she won;t be there in the TN. That day when she expressed her love to him and when he rejected she packed the bags. He knows deep down in her heart she loves him for what he is. she knows him very well. she doesn;t stand and support him infront of her family ie a thing. but slowly she will do that. we all saw that she rejected to go to arushi;s wedding since krishna and his family was not going. on the engagement day also she came back with him. if she wanted she might have stayed there.

Great post. I completely agree with you. With Krishna we had "hei hei hei" moments when he was just observing her sleep and moments of tenderness directed to her. With Prats all we got was quivering when he was close by.
The real question is knowing everything she knows now, do we think that she would still marry him. My guess is no

I agree in entirely with your post.

From your post there was so much to explore, so much to find out on the depth of the love and relationship. We already had seen the depth of love from Krishna yet for Pratigya we were yet to see. Consummation of relationship does not mean the end of Pratigya's love but the start.

All this has now gone to waste with Arushi's track being centrefold and with her as the new lead that love story and which sustains this show is a thing of the past.

Sorry for being very pratigya, oops I mean pig headed ,about this but I still feel P has a very condescending attitude towards K. It is like how one deals with a child."Now you've got wanted na, so be a good boy and sit in the corner! Don't trouble Mommy now,she is busy, OK!"
I still feel respect and mental compatibility play a huge role in my definition of love. I am not blaming the character of P tho', the character of K does not command respect. What I am trying to say that what P feels for K is not love and not that there is anything wrong with it. However middle class morality will not permit this aspect of the show to come forth although bigamy is acceptable by all stds. It's a man's world after all.
