@Ekta: Thanks for liking my analysis. I am quite busy, so will not be able to write daily commentaries for the time being.
It has only been three episodes where they have shown characters so far. So far they have only concentrated on Raj's family. So Sarita's treatment is shown too. So audience know more about what Sarita went through with an indifferent husband and an abusive in-laws. That's why there is all these sympathy for Sarita. Also, since Sarita came to know the truth at the very last moment, many feel that she had no choice but to get married to Raj.
Here they have not shown Raj's story as to why he did show up at the end. Why did he agree to marry her? Was he upfront about his inability to love her ever? But still there is sympathy for him because Divya left him. To me, just based on whatever is shown so far, he is responsible for Sarita's condition. As far as abuse is concerned, I doubt that he is even aware of what Divya goes through at his house. There is no communication between him and rest of the family. He comes quite late and he and Sarita also do not communicate. It doesn't seem as if Sarita even talks about his family with him. We have to see more of him in the family setting to see his behavior. But the way he switched off the fan, it seems that he is considerate of her in terms of physical comfort.
To me, Divya is not coming selfish at all. She is in her own world, but is not selfish. A selfish person doesn't throw away her dreams for the sake of the family. Here she left Raj to fulfill her responsibiities. But even if she had done it for her career's sake, that is fine too. The question is why she expected hi to wait for 10 years. Well, yesterday there was a dialogue from Divya that she had thought that Raj would understand her and her compulsions. So it seems that Raj was aware of her responsibilities. Also, she more than likely thought that Raj would know that she waited for him for 10 years considering she is a public figure. She may have unreasonable expectations, but why does that make her unsympathetic. She was a teenager when she left and she had dreams of a teenager which she did not give up on even in 10 years. So how does her dreams make her unsympathetic? If anything, they were broken rather brutally for her because she moved back to Bhopal thinking that they would come true.
As far as Divya forming a negative opinion of Sarita, Sarita has also done the same. She seems to think that Divya is the only one responsible for her condition whereas so far Divya has not done a single thing. Did she tell Raj's family to treat Sarita like this? Or did she tell Raj to ignore his wife? So how is this Divya's fault? If it is anybody's fault, it is Raj's or his family's.
So Divya has a negative opinion of Sarita, Sarita has a negative opinion of Divya, and Raj has a negative opinion about Divya. So there is only one way to go forward. All three will change their opinions about each other when they start interacting with each other. So far there is no interaction among all three characters. At this point, audience know about these three characters but these character know about each other either from somebody's viewpoint or through indirect interactions.
The viewers' opinion would change once they show more interaction. And even if they don't change, it would just mean that characters are written that way. Also, everyone has their own opinion. So a same character would be perceived in a different way by different people.
Here I am finding all three characters sympathetic in one way or other based on what has been shown so far. I can find even sympathy for Raj because of the way his family has been shown. My liking for any character is not based on whether I like that actor or not. I like all three characters because so far they have shown layers to all three of them with nobody being portrayed as mahaan.
