Not liking Uma

Hi everyone I'm from the UK and i'm going to have a rant so I apologise in advance!

Okay so I've just started watching this drama and to be honest I'm a little bit disgusted at the forced marriage track. I understand that they had to get the two main characters together and that Uma is a decent religious man but I find it very hard to stomach the romantic scenes between them, because at the end of the day she never wanted it as she has been taken by force and married, it's as though the CVs are glorifying forced marriage. I know this happens in some cultures and small villages but in this day and age we need to educate girls.

No matter how nice Uma is to her and no matter how many people tell her how lucky she is to marry him the fact is she has been forced into it and its actually kidnapping by another name.
Unfortunately in this day and age there are too many women who are forced into something that everybody would say is wonderful for them but deep down to force a woman into a marriage with a man that she does not want is cruel and not religious at all.
I love the way Kanak stands up for being a woman and a modern educated woman who should be his equal in every way.

I loved her inner monologue at how backward his thinking is. Even though he may be saying what the majority of men still think in this day and age, it's oppressing women who want to rightfully live there own life side-by-side with their husband - so I loved how she stood up for herself and said a woman can be whatever woman wants to be and it should not be a duty to be made to stay in the house and do household chores IF she would like to do other things.
According to Uma, a woman is not allowed to have her own dreams and desires and she should want whatever the husband wants!

Absolutely loved the scene and a flashback of showing her mother Sandhya and her father Suraj and how her father always supported her mother to pursue the job that she loved. He never thought it beneath him to look after the home while she studied and gained a career, this actually gives Amanda strength and makes a wife truly respect and love her husband.

I personally hope that they finish this forced marriage track quickly.
I want to see Kanak escape and be free to go back to her family and I want Uma and the family to miss her rather than want to punish her for wanting to be out of this marriage.

I want her to get the shop back for her family and then I want them to meet up again in a better situation, maybe because her brother will try and help the girl got married to the boy in the photo, and for Kanak to see Uma for the good man that he is and for him to see her in a better light and respect her for her bravery and justice and then to actually get married again without any force but only because they love one another and truly understand each other properly and be as equals!

True dear this forced marriage is outright wrong even if many people just say her luck to ma4y Uma and so...

Uma too agrees that the way their marriage happened is wrong so he should rectify it by letting her go. Or to the least should not haunt and torture her after she run away.

If he believes his destiny is truly connected to kanak ,she will be back to him by herself with her wish .

^Thanks for the message.
Yes you are absolutely right destiny does play a big role in it. And as you say he's connected to her so they will both be brought back together eventually.
I do have a feeling that they will not get completely married by religious law, (because hopefully she escapes before the final part of the marriage happens) and with her brothers support Uma will have to change if he wants her back.

After reading your post..I'm like..Yeah!! I'm not wrong for not liking Uma😆

Yes, I think once he understands where he's going wrong, we will like him more. He needs to change his strict authoritarian behaviour and his feeling of never being wrong. I like that he wants to give Kanak a special place in his life and seemingly cares for her in front of Palomi and when he's alone, but it sours when he is suddenly displeased because she's not completely subservient to him.
I hope when Kanak leaves him, he will want to get her back as a prior claim to her and that she won't just run into his arms as he might expect.
He has been brought up knowing he is valuable in his followers eyes and thinks all women love him and his Aunt inflates his ego. I can't wait to see him change and realise men and women may not be equal in physical appearance, but CAN be equals in everything else, and that he is not less than a man to think this.
However wonderful he may be in his family's eyes, I hope he realises pretty quickly that not every single women can be controlled by him. I hope he redeems himself until he is worthy of her.
