Arshi,
I do understand why this despair in the forum at Saras and Kumud's behaviour.
On superficial note at first glance, it still feels like why Saras and Kumud are taking crap..
They have to be shown to be doing everything they could, even demeaning to this extent before there is bounce back and accept failure of not able to reform him. Trust the CV's, there is an impending end to all this,
I agree with Hggji, today, not though HDDCS part.
Arshi and all despaired CB friends:
Pramad, his demeanour was more or less like his first introduction..classic villain types.
If you ignore empathising Samud today, there was only and only palpable vehemence that of Pramad and Kalika today...where was any sign of positivity?
Saras and Kusum are living in their bubble, just like Desai's did at first instance, before they opened their eyes at Pramaad for what he is.
The more Kusum and Saras are shown to be making a pair, the more I get convinced of Samud end..(CV's like us to be guessing, breaking our heads)
..
