I'm not denying Kumud's right to be angry. or Saras' enormous guilt. Not saying that he deserves forgiveness, or even has the right to assuage his guilt by being her support. Not at all...
In my PoV, there were two triggers, first-Saras' incoherent phone call and second- Kumud's Back-to-Square One reaction to the phone call. The entire kahaani in my last post ws about the second trigger.
The disaster that followed could have been averted even at the second point. Granted Kumud had incomplete knowledge of events in Dubai, but she had in-depth knowledge of the man she was marrying. Deeper than the ocean, higher than the mountains, and all that stuff...Their connection was such that she could sense him when he was outside the haveli during the wedding!
Saras is rightly pilloried for his jazbaati reaction to events and honestly bears the blame for TP#1, you dont find him dodging that.
But Kumud still claims that her reverting to pre-Term opinion of Saras at TP#2 was logical and not emotional! Main jazbaat mein aake koi faisla nahin leti, says our Heroine! That rankles. That ...poof... sound of the whole Term disappearing into nothing...
I wearily rest my case...
chill happychappy...
- neither are at fault ...yet both are at fault
- both have dealt with a patently bad situation differently
- each has been impacted differently
- so both are dealing with the aftermath differently
- both are at different stages of the curve...with saras currently ahead ...
- reconciliation will only happen when both reach at the same stage
- kumud has just started her path..
copying my own perspective regarding their love...his & hers...from my earlier post...
loves still there... but currently at a lower priority / supressed...
...which is understable because kumud is just now awakening / going into detox...so she needs to sort out the mess and her personal equiibrium first...survival of her personal identity comes first and foremost...
...notice she is angry still...but now at least she has started to communicate and listen...even yesterday when she made saras promise not to tell anyone...the underlying basis for him to accept it was their love...
that's the beauty of this show isn't it... the nuances...maybe a hindi word expresses this better...the nazakat...the delicate see-saw as visualized by Ivy..
..and believe me ...this will be like a greek tragedy
- largely grey with no black and white...forcing the viewers to take sides...
- with the hero / heroine having character flaws often arising from their strengths:
saras has high sensitivity but his mother's unresolved grief causes an impulsiveness.
kumud has her pride, sense of duty and moral strength which cause her to be inflexible.
- Haven't explored this discussion yet ...but like in any greek tragedy the villian is often a caricature of pity rather than hatred...
take gumaan - Is her villiany a result of the ostracism she faced from VC & family when LN wanted to marry her?...what was VC locus standi in what was essentially a personal decision between LN & her?...if at that time VC felt she was not of the same socio-economic class as LN, what gives him the right to demand the same socio-ecomomic parity for kumud..when LN is definitely much higher on both fronts?
or pramad - was he to blame the way he has turned out or was it wrong parenting?...an overindulgent mom and strict dad...parents forcing their aspirations and ambitions on him without asking what he wants...parents playing favorites...
so we can agree to disagree and park this for now...I am sure as the story progresses we will be at similar POVs for other things...
The benefit is like arshi has said...this show makes us think and go hmmm...
And all of us become all the more better in the experience.
Also in the end all of us will be on the same stage along with our champions...Still hoping SLB gives us the grand happy finale..
👍🏼
