On a very realistic level, a relationship like that could not work. When people are such opposites they might get attracted, but it doesn't work. I would personally, leave such a man. Period.
It's really really really hard to change habits, let alone beliefs. Hence, realistically Palomi is well suited to be his wife. I know, no matter how hot a person like that looks, I would not want to have a relationship with him.Yes, we don't always get the kind of person we wanted, but a person like Uma is impossible to live with. If a woman was forced to become like Uma when she was modern, she would be depressed and a person who isn't happy themselves can't make anyone happy.And I believe that is the sad reality of life. Uma-Kanak pair is impossible, very realistically speaking. But exceptions are always there. xD
