Sarita

Sarita's character might suffer from a mild case of what is termed "stockholm syndrome." This means that a person who is mistreated systematically for a length of time gets so used to abuse that they start thinking it is the norm, and start to "bond" with the abuser/s, and even stand up for them and sacrifice for them at the cost of their own safety. They have trouble separating themselves from those that abused them and often think that they are in love with them. I think this might explain Sarita's longstanding "love" for Raj. Even now, after being married to Vikrant, Sarita still is in the process of discovering herself. I do not think that the CVs should make her realise her love for either Vikrant or Raj. I think in the course of this track, Sarita should slowly come to understand herself better. She should think of who she is and what she wants, rather than trying to live for others all the time, which is her usual modus operandi.

I say that it is a mild case of stockholm syndrome because, somewhere, Sarita appears to be aware that she has just emerged from a failed and mostly loveless marriage. Sarita is now married to Vikrant, and is cautious of not ending up in a situation similar to the previous marriage, where there was no communication, whatsoever, leave alone companionship or love. The current situation where Sarita caught between the ex husband's obsession and current husband's wrath might just be the catalyst for her to grow as a person. Let us see if Sarita will take this opportunity to blossom into her own self.

I'm thoroughly enjoying reading your takes on the characters on this show and I am looking forward to seeing how Sarita's character develops furthur stuck between these 2 men. She knew she was treated like crap in that house by everyone but Sheila and Dadi but she "loved" Raj anyway. I have never understood that about her. He showed her no civility in all these years let alone "love" so how the heck could she have loved this "shell" of a man for 10 years? Was it just because he was her husband? If that was the case then shouldn't she "love" Vikrant now? What did she see in Raj in all these years? He spoke rudely to his parents and not at all to her so what truly could have inspired her to love him? I have been baffled by this one since the onset of this show...😕

Thank you all for your likes and comments.
