So Saraswati Chandra turned her down

1. He did it before he saw her

He did it AFTER the proposal came from his family/father. When the proposal came, it never had a tag on it saying, "Proposal from a father who doesn't give monkeys about his son's opinion". So basically, a proposal in progress was halted abruptly by the very same people (as per Kumud's understanding Saras knew as well) in a very weird way.

2. He explained his reasons

His reasons i.e. I can't love you! That's a reason? How about elaborating a little further as to why can't he love her? Or how about not being so vague to a person whom he never met and just be formal and upfront and come out with it loud and clear that he is not ready for it or be damn honest and spit it out.."My dad decided without me knowing and I am yet to tell him that"

3. It's not like he met her, gave her false hopes and then ditched her

I wish he did! At least it would have made some sense! Here she is holding a letter with a big NO from him and at the same time his dad just calls and arranges for a video conference between the two. How much respect should a woman hold for a chicken heart like that? Isn't that the reason why she cried when telling her mom...woh darpokh hai! Someone who doesn't have the guts to tell his father how he feels but takes it out on a girl that he never met, yeah right! And false hopes?? His father gave all the hopes and till date keeps doing so to her parents. Didn't she repeatedly say, if you rejected me, that wouldn't have been a problem but insulting my father like that is not something I can handle!

4. Her family jumped the gun and assumed things

uhm! Her family jumped the gun..LOL. sweetheart these two families go long way! The proposal came from the family friend they know for years and apparently Saras spent his childhood there too. When in such close ties, you come with your son's proposal, its not to be taken lightly. I thought that was very clear.

5. She did not inform her dad about this, her choice

Don't agree! She was just about to tell him (recall morning tea) when the dude just landed from nowhere! I mean c'mon yaar, you firmly believe that the guy sitting on the other side of that computer is such a darpokh that he cannot stand up to his father and say his piece and you throw a challenge at him in 2 folds; either he tells his dad or he comes and tells her dad and next morning the darpokh crosses the arabian sea to reject her rather than making a bolder attempt to say no to his father...hilarious!

6. She dared him to come and tell her father

Nuff said on that above

7. He was honorable enough to do so

Loved the word "honorable". Coming all the way down to India, in her house and throw the bomb that I aint interested in your daughter! That's honorable? And where does his own father's dignity and esteem come into this picture. Has he thought abt it? I don't think he is here for honor..he is just lost and confused as to how a ganwar gujju larki throws a challenge at him! "Yesss..I have got to see her." That's the motive but does he know? Not sure..

8. He jumped into the fire to save her dad

And...?

9. He was concerned enough to give first aid to her dad and did not freak out like the rest of her family

Intelligent and smart ..yes! Raised abroad with higher education, first aid is commonly accepted.

10. She did not even thank him, instead is showing attitude

Thank him..for what? knowing that anytime he is gonna break the news and probably put her father in the same bed that he is right now? She should thank him for that?

Me no like

I also did not like her dialogue about rejecting her before even seeing her - I think it is better than seeing her and then rejecting her on looks or manner.

I couldn't figure her out at all and did not like her behavior today!

Her initial anger was understandable, but by hiding this from her dad, and calling Saras, she allowed her dad to build up hopes.

Saras rejected her, but he wrote and explained his reason, that was decent of him.

The rejection proved that he was not ready for marriage and it was not about her

It is worse when a guy sees a girl and then rejects her.

It was not her he rejected, it was the idea of marriage.

She needs to understand that

I am not sure if I'm missing something here but I think as I saw the episodes (all of them) last night, the story so far is much more fresh in my mind and I want to share my 2 cents here.



Deary...if you have not understood Kumud, you should start doing so soon. I have read the novel and I have seen the movie and I know how SLB's mind works. Moving forward what Kumud does and will do..will need a very thorough understanding of her character. If you fail to do so, then you may not enjoy the show and you will never understand the sacrifices these two make for the sake of love. I hope my answers clarified it a bit for you...my intentions are not to upset anyone but to stand up for a character that will always be scrutinized for the decisions she takes due to no faults of her own.
