Thank you Shrija. That was interesting.. So in the book, Kumud was actually contemplating a re-marriage before the crisis forced her to take the decision..Here, she seems far too self sacrificing or should I say self-destructive.. to the extent of looking foolish and dumb at times, to think along those lines..Kumud's character in the show has been played around with so much that its hard to understand her at times.. Like Reema says, maybe all this is required for the twists n turns in the story..I wish it could be more relatable.. For instance I have no clue how she can exercise her right on Saras to this extent in the name of love, yet does not feel any right or responsibility towards her sister who is clearly going on a wrong path..she needs counselling.. she needs someone to show her the light.. how is this Kumud different from Saubhagya devi then? It's like I don't want to hurt my loved ones by saying they are wrong, so I let them do wrong to solve the current crisis without thinking of the future repercussions.
Vaishali, yes. Kumud's character is now being strategically used by the creatives to garner TRPs. The more ridiculous she gets, the more melodrama, hence by virtue, more gratification points for all the hard work done off camera.
For all her stupid decisions she blames her kismet. When Pramad had burnt the factory down, she said she and her family don't believe/depend on kismet to affect their courage and determination. The same Kumud is now being shown to make preposterous decisions without consulting Saras/Badimaa and convinces herself with the easier explanation: I'm Destiny's favorite child. So yes, it looks like the writers don't *remember* what they wrote a few weeks back to connect the dots to give a believable narrative.
VC doesn't throw away Kalika/Pramad despite the *groundbreaking* revelation about the kidnapping. Sheesh, they don't even suspect that b%&$#*% 🤢 What moral values are these CVs showing? They now seem to know Pralika were a thing at BD's. And yet, those freeloaders are given a free pass. Saras and Danny get blamed for being a curse to the Desais.
Kumud wants him to marry her sister as though getting married is the only viable option for a woman tainted by a kidnapping scandal. Again, it's a serious case of victim blaming!
Of course, her phenomenally superior reasoning behind asking Saras to get married explained lucidly by you and Arshi ji.
She's disoriented by the continuous miseries in her life, but she doesn't seem to realize she's the maker of her own destiny, thanks to the wonderful writers of SC😃
This show has been mutilated beyond repair. Not even GR and Jenny can redeem it after Friday's episode.🤢
