@sia_lovely
A very good point that Raj expected her to return after some years? So he kept himself chaste for her?

@sweet samie
Nice to read a counter opinion.
Divya had to struggle too, things weren't easy for her. In the very 1st episode she tells that she did not get the job she came looking for.
They haven't really shown why Sarita did not do anything for the past 10 yrs. But since she did not do anything for her own self and her marriage, she doesn't come across as a person that would take charge and set things right is why I think maybe if she was in Divya's place she wouldn't have done the same. She seems like a resigned and happy to-to-be-in her place person eventhough its unpleasant. That does not mean she is selfish. While she did not do anything for the last 10 yrs does not mean she might have not done anything in the next 10? Maybe her realization is slow and she would have taken charge of her marriage in a few years?
After what they showed in today's episode, I don't know if I would really find issues with her for not doing anything for the last 10 yrs. Today's episode really threw me off.

@Ashna
Thanks for your inputs.
I somehow feel the same too. If Divya was in Sarita's place she would have let go off Raj a long time ago even if it meant disgrace to her family, as she is shown to be a empathizing person.

@Angie
Thanks for all the details.
You are right, why didn't Divya contact Raj even once in the 10 yrs? She didn't wanted to be distracted or wanted any interruption in her career? She was very very sure that Raj would wait for her for 10 long years? Did she really have a concrete plan 10 yrs back that she WOULD return after 10 yrs?
Did she talk about her plans clearly to Raj?
What I think is maybe she did and maybe he would have told we can get married and we together can look after your siblings? But probably she wanted to do it all by herself? Anyway its all a speculation from my side.
Already there are so many unanswered questions, and they seem to have added some more complicated stuff into the mix today.
About Sarita asking Divya to forego her marriage, I think that was not really pre-planned and it all came out at that moment?

@goolab
I'm waiting to see if Sarita recognizes the fact that she and Raj can never have the love that Raj and Divya shared and will Sarita get Raj&Divya married? (The way they showed in Friday's epi)


@maya
Very pertinent questions. Abt Divya leaving, as I wrote to Angie above, maybe she did and maybe he would have told we can get married and I can look after your siblings? But probably she wanted to do it all by herself? Anyway its all a speculation from my side.

@ruchi
I agree, the more I think about Raj, I don't feel like he is good for either Divya or Sarita.
Though he keep himself 'pavitra' for his lover, what he did to Sarita wasn't right at all. He had no guts to speak to his father and stopped his wedding. How long was he going to continue in that marriage? The way he destroyed his career because a girl left him, doesn't sound good at all. He kinda comes across like a loser.
In comparison to Raj, Gaurav comes across much more understanding, generous and though deeply in love, he hasn't lost his senses and was trying to put some sense in Divya (as seen today). In my opinion any girl would be lucky to have Gaurav as a husband than Raj.

@hebasamiya
Its more likely that Raj & Divya are going to get united. Lets us see if it is due to Sarita & Gaurav's sacrifices this time?


After watching today's episode, I don't know what to say, it was just shocking.

@Angie.
Agree with you about Divya. She's feeling guilty as she credits Raj for her success and Sarita's words added to her angst after having discovered Raj's professional choices - that sounds right than what I had assumed it to be. So, now she's going to settle Raj's married life and his career. Wish I had such a well meaning ex 😆
Gaurav's choice of words today - 'illogical', 'nonsensical' felt like my own voice. Call him staid or whatever, he's the only voice of reason in the show at the moment. Rest all, though relatable at times, seem very improbable.
In my last post I said nothing would redeem Raj for me. Well, he's not redeemed but today I did feel sorry for him and also his Mom. What kind of dysfunctional family and role model does he have? No wonder he was waiting for Divya - maybe he sees nothing wrong in having two wives. Also, hearing abusive language at home all the time, he might not even identify taunts on Sarita as abuse. That's why he never stood up for her. Also, his statement that he is not impressed by looks or cost tells me that his anger at Sarita stems as much from his dislike for his father (as she was his 'costly' choice) as from his broken dreams (of a life with Divya). How can any girl (Sarita) fight that - it's all so twisted and I feel really bad for Sarita.
As an aside, I absolutely, absolutely hated Raj's father 😡 and wish no one should get that kind of father - who can't respect his kids' mother, his own mother and flaunts his 2nd wife so shamelessly (is she a wife officially, as that's illegal). I don't think I am going to watch him again as I am not into sadism and find him unbearable.

@Ruchi,

Only in serials you get such an ex or such an understanding fiancee (like Gaurav).😆

Gaurav was definitely a voice of reason and he is actually growing on me now even though I did find him bland in the very beginning. He and Divya actually make a normal nice couple who will always share things. It seems to be a match between two normal people and two obsessive people (Raj and Sarita).

Raj's character is not comprehensible to me as of now, but I have always felt sorry for him ever since they showed his father and the whole family. He and Shiela seem to have got different genes from the rest of the family as they are relatively more cultured than the others. But both are screwed-up characters. I agree and I wrote in a different post that his ignoring of Sarita or ignoring her abuse at he hands of his family is a rebellion against his father who sold his son to Sarita's family. Kamla's anger also seems to be a result of her bitterness towards the husband. It is very hard to fight against such stacks. So she definitely deserves both help and sympathy. But to me, even her "love" for Raj does not make sense to me. How can she be in love with Raj when she thinks not that highly of him. In her dream, she expected him to hit her for making a pact with Divya. Has she also come from a similar dysfunctional family like Raj or has she developed something equivalent of a stockhold syndrome by living in this family even though Raj is not keeping her here against her will.

As far as Raj's father or his second wife are concerned, both bored me as their characters are too exaggerated. I hope that these two are toned down because such characters are not appealing to me. I fast forward scenes of such characters.
