It was hard to sympathize with SRK and Rani because they could've easily asked for a divorce from their respective spouses before they decided to cheat. Sure, they were unhappy in their marriages and fell out of love. Sure, they fell in love with each other. It all made since even up until they took each other to bed. Divorce lete, phir yeh karte, then it's totally justified.
Falling out of love with a good person is difficult to compute, but it's very much possible. For all intents and purposes, Fateh didn't even fall in love with Tejo (a good person), but what he did to her is not excusable. Nahi pyaar ho raha tha, Jasmine ko nahi bhula pa rahe the? Cool. Then leave Tejo. Don't string her along as you try and figure out which spouse is more capable of bearing the responsibility of a manchild-like husband.
@bold KANK: 100% agree. They were in situations where cheating wasn't needed at all. Again the only time I'm "ok" with cheating is if the other spouse has already cheated (but not sought forgiveness) and/or abusive relationships (often its hard for spouses, esp wives, to leave the relationship). If you don't like ur spouse, ok, thats fine, life happens & people change, just divorce them!
@Bold Fateh: See this is where I'm a bit more in the middle (before the 2-3 recent episodes). Hear me out... lol.. I actually understand what Fateh was attempting to do with Tejo. He was trying to move on. Often when we're out of a nasty relationship, its easier to just be with someone new even if we're not really "feeling it" or you don't have the same feelings as you did with your ex. It's also really easy to sleep with people in order to forget your ex. Tejo was his rebound and sometimes rebounds work out to be great relationships and other times rebounds are failures. In this case, it didn't work because Fateh was never able to really cut Jasmine out.
However, in light of the whole thread engagement, hugging, attempted kiss with jasmine, vows of love etc., he's full on cheating on Tejo now and seems to be no longer interested in pursuing whatever he had with Tejo. And that is inexcusable. As soon as he realized that he wanted Jasmine again, he should have told Tejo right away. He's so ashamed that now he's being worse to her by making her think everything is fine & he's fully moved on yet still keeping Jasmine as his side piece.
