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.

Arshicritic, really an interesting topic. I think you might have been an IPK fan guessing by your name. I almost agree with your point. I think after seeing him in dreams she had somehow made up her mind that she wanted to share his life, the way she told Kusum that after seeing those eyes I want to share his pain. And the fact that her family were too happy and the proposal came from Saras dad made it even sure for her and seeing his eyes she said yes. She had started dreaming when the letter came. I agree he did say he can't love her because of personal reasons but for an outsider a dad always consults his son before sending a proposal and a son has the right to agree/disagree in this matter with his dad. Here Kumud doesn't know Saras house rules so thinks he is scared to talk to his dad whereas her upbringing has been the opposite. His sending a letter directly to her rather than thru parents irked her.

In her initial anger she doesn't show her face and challenges him to come down and talk to her dad. She went to his room wanting to see why everyone were praising him but when he told her that his sleep had spoiled because she stopped fanning, she again thought he was arrogant. She tests him every time asking him to talk to her dad and he responds every time saying he has to and has to go away. She wants him to stay since she has started to have some unknown feelings for him & is scared that he would walk away. She is shown as a bit bold, egoistic person and has made up her mind about him that he is arrogant, irresponsible so even after feeling something for him her hurt, desperation and ego comes first whenever she sees him.

Se wants to thank him for saving her dad but feels why should she do it before such a person, it is her big ego but she covers it up again thinking he rejected her. I agree with you that she keeps repeating the same but it is because she doesn't understand the reasons behind his behaviour and not giving him a chance to talk. I still feel she will understand him once she knows what he is going through.

Sorry that was too much big reply. Hope you don't mind and pls ignore if you feel it as nonsense :)

You raise some very good points about Saras. Yes, definitely he is very cowardly...he could not tell his own father that he doesn't want to go ahead with the proposal. However, I see two things holding him back: his mother's dialogue that he should follow whatever his father says without question (but then why does Saras go against his father in business-related matters?) and the thought that his father is very stubborn and will probably force Saras to be tied down by a wedding.

I just think the writing of this show is very weak as it shows too many contradictions and not a clear-cut, logical progression of emotions. When someone saves a person's father from a fire, then the natural thing to do is to be thankful, not show an attitude. The attitude can come after the thank you instead, like the next day. Hence I agree with topic maker that Kumund was not portrayed as a decent person today because of that.

Not nonsense at all, very well written in fact

Explains her POV quite well, and ya, I can see it

And yes, total IPKKND fan , maybe that puts blinkers on me.

The idea of the post was to invite people like you who can shed some light on her behavior.

Thanks! Loved your analysis

Even I have the same blinkers still but just trying to be open to give SLB a chance as well :) Maybe he wants Kumud to be different like Kushi was and I remember in the forum Kushi was bashed most of the time for her behaviour but still loved. Maybe after sometime we might get used to Kumud, will give sometime and see how it goes. Good to get acquainted to you :)

Good point, but why did she not show any appreciation or gratitude for saving her fathers life
