Four steps backwards, two steps forward - Page 2

I knew you would get my point :) I feel bad for Kumud only because her hands have been tied by that one letter he wrote.. She can not go beyond a certain point to express what she feels coz the rejection still holds true.. Plus now with Guman in the picture , her slightest gesture of affection or concern towards Saras will be wrongly implicated and there can be only a limit to which her family can back her like they did today... You are absolutely right in saying that Saras needs her to fight his demons.. Yes, the condition of staying 4 step away from her has rattled him... He would rather not talk to her than stay away from her... like he pointed out yesterday...A lot of times I get the feeling that he completely forgets that he has rejected her.. its funny! Without even realising he is getting into something he doesnt believe can sustain- a relationship that is! True he needs a few jolts here n there.. Dukhba and Guniyal did for him once and the more Kumud pushes him away , the more he is gonna realize what she means to him..I sometimes feel that perhaps Sunny could act like an effective catalyst in this situation..

Yup, Guniyal was right, its going to be a hundred times harder for Kumud than Saras. I feel like her every word and action "tricks" him into "tasting" the relationship/bond just like Saras had once "tricked" her into "tasting" the food. < I dont know if that even makes sense when I type it out. Anyways, I had almost forgotten about Sunny! Its interesting that you point it out because I recently watched the movie in which it is Saras' best friend "Chandrakant" who talks him out of rejecting Kumud right after he writes the infamous rejection letter. Yea, it would be awesome if Sunny comes and if nothing else, becomes Saras' sounding board!

@bold red- Oh boy !!!!!!! BRILLIANTTT ! 👏 This is the best line I have come across today...!!
Loving the discussion in this thread :)) Veera and Infofan please do write your views too..Would love to read them .. Well this goes for all the amazing writers we have in this forum..

Lovely post. I guess soon they will identify that this kuch to or ehsaas is love and they will express it. Considering this development , guman will use her haveli card which will bring rift between their dad's . Now the situation is opposite Samud want to marry but their parents wont agree.

I really do believe there is a lot of reversal in this show. For example, Gumaan's tricks always end up making me admire her (please don't throw any chappals at me for admiring such a witch! 😭) because her tricks don't work. They always end up bringing Saras and Kumud closer.

Alright Humeshaa and Vaishali, here are my very important two cents on this very serious topic. 😆

I really do believe there is a lot of reversal in this show. For example, Gumaan's tricks always end up making me admire her (please don't throw any chappals at me for admiring such a witch! 😭) because her tricks don't work. They always end up bringing Saras and Kumud closer.

I also find that the chaar kadam distance between Saras and Kumud has also brought them closer... which is something Kumud probably didn't intend when she requested it from Saras. I feel like the more the characters of this show intend for something to happen, there is always a backfire, which causes them to furthermore plunge into the realms of their own feelings. This chaar kadam doori really forced Kumud and Saras to take a good look at themselves, and of their behaviour around each other. Now, they're forced to be more conscious of their actions because of their distance. However, because of this reversal theme I'm noticing here, it makes them more unconscious of their actions and more conscious of their feelings! Yeah, I know, some pretty profound, soulful things going on here guys! 😆

I hope your admiration of Gumaan increases day by day!! If you know what I mean😉

@Red: Totally agree!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I agree! For SaMud, I think a few chappals being thrown at me wouldn't be so bad... who knows, maybe someone will shield and protect me too 😆 😉 😉

Thank you! I'm glad you agree! 😳

Vaishali,

You wrote everything I wanted to say. No matter how I admire GR's work, I can't help but notice a powerful tendency in the forum (and understandable, I am not complaining), which overlooks- tends to condone- some obvious lapses/ falters by the character SC, especially in his dealing with Kumud. Scriptwriters too are sometimes presenting convoluted logic/ twisting of their own previous scenes;

Two points stood out in his end speech today- (and let me tell you beforehand, on the whole I liked his confession immensely today, which is how it is in book too. He HAD accepted his love)-

1. He says, " You called me". By now She too believes it so! We viewers are now also buying the same. But in THE Scene, cvs put up the 'challenge' as after taunt to a clear directive OTHERWISE. She had asked him to sort out his mess with father. There IN Dubai. The challenge was a 'taunt' for not doing this obvious job, (that he failed, or would be failing in convincing his father was his problem not hers), and not an 'invitation'. She was actually surprised at seeing him in RN. And even if challenge would be taken as a long scratched 'invitation' - by now scratched so by her too!- then it was more as a demand to tender apology to her father. In fact, he too was ranting the same jaap, ' I had come here only to apologize'. So now how does it become an 'invitation' by her?!
2. Even more unsubstantial is his charge, "you didn't allow me to go." Now this I don't get at all. When?? In fact she not only didn't stop him before Yash Fiasco. She always pleaded him to go go go. Maybe I am missing something...

That the actor is doing a tremendous job. He is eye catching. He is the Lead. But all these should not alter objective facts about lapses of the character, I believe. No matter, how vulnerable his childhood was, or tragic his bind is, today his acts are directly and adversely affecting peace, reputation and prospect of a Girl and her entire family. Gumans and Sundars of the world are ready to pounce on them...But for his sheer honesty, his actions would almost be branded Casanova...he must publicly acknowledge the relationship. He must give due RESPECT to it...

@smrth- you said it all :) I am no feminist yet I feel for the girl in this particular situation. You are right Saras had no business pointing out that she invited him and then she stopped him from leaving. None of that is true. If I remember correctly she had given him 2 options- 1.) speak to his own father 2.) come to Ratnagiri and reject her infront of her parents. If he chose the second option because it gave him an opportunity to meet thr girl in person, then can he blame her for it? No. Secondly, Kumud has always been asking him to leave except for that one occassion when her father met with an accident.. How can he say she always stopped him from leaving? Saras doesnt have to compel her to admit anything in my opinion.. Her actions have spoken enough for her feelings. He now also knows about her dream and the painting.. If anyone its Saras, who has to admit and honor their relationship before people like Guman point fingers and question its sanctity..
