we need to see both sides of the coin for sure to know...but not to deny, that Vasu can go to any extent to get her job done and to prove herself right...

sometimes there's drastic change in people's behavior due to bad experiences in life. We don't know what kind of experiences she had to have become what she is today...

I want to give Vasu benefit of doubt until I hear complete story from her side... looks like there's some compelling reason(s).

To your original point is Infidelity a desparation or compulsion-

Infidelity is a desparation if its one time, or with one person for a long time. Someone tries to find peace and solace in someone else's company.

Compulsion - when its a disease like sexual addiction. Such people cannot keep to one extra marital affair and typically indulge in multiple relationships through out their lives, sometimes at the same time and do not hold the relationships for very long.

Inderjeet may have been pushed to the brink by Vasu's behavior or any number of reasons - however - infidelity is never easily forgiven or forgotten as it is the ultimate betrayal in a marriage.

Indu's one betrayal will be equal hundred crimes by Vasu - in my books.

Infidelity, in my books, is an unforgivable crime, and usually unjustifiable. Maybe spouses can be unreasonable enough that they drive one to have an affair, but doing so is in no way the right option. If one is truly unhappy in his/her marriage and cannot continue living with his/her spouse, divorce him/her.
There has to be a reason for why Vasu is the caretaker of the entire property. Inder probably wanted to leave with whoever he had his affair with, and dadaji threatened him with disowning, and Inder stayed back.
As for the original question of whether infidelity is a desperation or a compulsion, serialjunkie said everything I wanted to.

Infidelity is infidelity...It can't be justified, no matter how desperate the spouse is...In fact I look at it as a test of the relationship, to see how long one spouse can endure the irresponsible, illogical behavior from the other partner....Even in this case, If Indu has betrayed Vasu, it doesnot make it any less excusable because of Vasu's controlling nature. Serialjunkie has expressed pretty much everything I wanted to say...

It will be intersting to see how the story unfolds..Hopefully the CTs will come up with something solid and some lame, disjointed story...Nowadays, they seem to be showing a lot of disjointed sequences and portions.....

Infidelity to me is also infidelity...I feel even of Indrajeet was desperate and was pushed to the brink by Vasu, and if he had taken that step, he should have never come back to Vasu;s life. Sometimes, once a threshold is crossed, it is just the end of a relationship.

Dadaji's giving power to Vasu might not be that Vasu is the best person for Rajvansh. But at least, Dadaji was sure that through Vasu, the Rajvansh property will stay with Alekh and the family....as Vasu will never deprive Alekh.

I don't think infidelity can ever be excused. However, its also not fair to just blame the one that did the crime. Its like your not excusing them just because the spouse was horrible doesn't mean you cheat, but you can't truly hold them accountable if the other spouse was just as not interested in making a relationship. Marriage is a two way street, it needs the support and co-operation from both sides, if you don't pay attention you will just have one major crash........I am not saying that Vasu drove Inderjeet to cheat so he should not be blamed. I think that Inderjeet is guilty regardless, but Vasu shouldn't be let go easy either (hence we don't know what happened, only making a judgement on how Vasu is today) Its really important to know both sides of the story, because sometimes what we see is not what happens behind closed doors. Cheaters will never be excused, but its also important to acknowledge what drove them there also if there are other reason. Just to dismiss it by saying he cheated when they were married, well that marriage was not even a marriage. Only saying vows and making promises doesn't make a marriage. Your heart, your soul needs to be there and even if one is missing its not a true marriage. And I think it shoud have ended right there. But Inderjeet went a step forward and cheated, yes its wrong, but what went on in their relationship isn't right either. As for caring about marriages and respecting them, well Vasu has showed no such thing, example trying to divorce Alekh and Sadhna and bring in a third wheel even before the divorce was finalized. Wouldn't that have been infidelity???

I also wanted to write about Alekh and Sdahna here, but you are right, given Vasu;s nature, that she never gave recognition to her elder sister and then trying to make deals with people on anything and everything just seem to be too much to tolerate. But we are yet to see what led to all these...

I'ld rather think that Vasu loves Indrajeet as well as her family. I think Vasu ahs got the power as dadaji wa aware of Inder's mistakes and lest he gives his property to his second woman and child. So Dadaji played safe and kept everything in Alekh's name... I think Inder stayed back because of monetray issues with Vasu...rather I'ld say that although Vasu is arrogant and the ways are bad, she still tries to think about the family.

Indrajeet should not have stayed with Vasu just for wealth...we are to see his part as well as Vasu's

More than family, Vasu could have also thought about her own status infront of society if she divorces Indu.
