Kumud is the elixir Saras needs.
Yesterday she held him, consoled him, cajoled him. Cried with him. She knew this one instance cannot be let to run over the relationships and bonds. She reminded him beautifully on how he bore the brunt of Pramad's excesses, all for keeping her safe.
Yesterday when Saras went to talk to Danny at her insistence, he was looking at her as if for strength and re-assurance. He was clinging to her words like a ray of hope. And when his pleading did not work he was totally devastated. And grabbed her and started walking away. She could have easily gone with him. Because, all they needed was each other. But, she took a sensible decision. Because, she always believed in giving a chance and trying for things to mend. And she knew the whole background why this was happening.
And when Saras went into his shell, she went right behind him. And told him that she wont let him stay alone. And pestered him about mosquitoes. She knows what works.
Today too, she continued her haq jatana and her zidd. To rally him around. She can sympathize with him but cant empathize because she sees the possibility of a solution and he doesn't. That's why he is hurt that she is not with him.
I loved when she said 'waise tumhe mere peeche chalne ki zaroorat nahin hai'. Beautiful line. In on-location videos there was an extra line - 'waise bhi tum mere peeche kaafi waqt barbaad kar chuke ho'.
Waited for long to see this avatar of Kumud. Who will irritate saras with her zidd. And be behind him like a shadow.
And Jennifer Winget --- You are tailor-made for this kind of Kumud. Who is so sure of herself and is very adamant. Your co-star makes fun of your hindi. But you have that 'dehaati' voice that suits kumud so well. And the sharpness the role needs.
Ye Hai Mohabbatein
