Since the leap happened karthik is the character who has been at the centre of everyone’s sympathy, whether that be by the audience or the characters because to the character’s knowledge karthik lost his love and wife without no fault, and to audience knowledge karthik is mourning the death of his wife who is alive but letting him believe she’s dead.
However, what I find interesting is that where everyone including naira’s family are mourning her death and showing so much sympathy for karthik, karthik has hidden from everyone the circumstance within which naira left the house and got into the accident.
If karthik had told everyone the truth whilst they all thought naira was dead, I’m sure all the characters, but mostly naira’s family would have hated karthik and have held him responsible for naira’s death rather than feel bad for him.
But I find it interesting that karthik has kept it hidden and seemingly was never intending on telling anyone he was at fault in naira’s death. It’s like he wanted to at least lap up everyone’s attention. 😂
We can all agree that naira letting everyone believe she is dead and hiding Kairav was a bigger mistake than what karthik did, but isn’t it also the case that if the audience were also made to think naira died in the accident, we would also blame karthik although we would still have some sympathy for him because he would be distraught over naira’s death and would regret questioning her, but if karthik told both family’s the truth, nobody would understand him or feel sorry for him but instead would resent and hate him?
It just slightly has been rubbing me the wrong way that karthik post everyone believing naira to be dead kept his own fault hidden when it is the right of her family to know how her death happened.
It’s most likely karthik’s good luck that naira didn’t die in the accident else if the family got to know the truth behind her death, he would have been a goner and naksh would have pulverised him, as any family in singhania’s position would not have spared their son in law under such a circumstance, and justifiably so.
Karthik is low key evil as he has become a bechara and everyone’s ankhon-ka-tara in both family’s eyes by not telling anyone he had a hand in their laadli’s death. Tut tut karthik. 😏😂
