But if you look at it, it's not true. Though yeh rishta markets Kartik as the ultimate ideal husband, he is definitely not. He is childish and extremely stubborn. As so many people mentioned he always plays the victim when the fault/mistake is his and only his. For instance, remember Keesh wedding track. He put Naira through so much emotional harassment for so long when she kept apologising to him (for what I don't understand). When all the misunderstanding got cleared he got his maafi in a day. He didn't suffer at all.
Nobody singled him out and shower abuses and insults on him when Singhanias clearly knew Suwarna threw Naira out of the house and Kartik kept insulting her. No one again held any grudges against him (apart for Naksh) during the baby stealing track. He wasn't thrown out of the house. He wasn't even thrown words at or insulted throughout. And let's face it he had absolutely zero remorse. But if it was Naira, Goenkas would have thrown her out long back. Also, what happened in the end? Naksh and Keerti only ended up saying sorry to him. He never said any sorry to anyone.
His life has been always so easy. And he made it so difficult for Naira. Once she entered Goenka house, the only person who extended full support to her was Suwara. But he wanted her relationships with people also to be defined by his feelings, and he tortured her for that. He didn't even think once about her or her comfort in a completely new house. And his favourite dadi was making everything difficult for her and Naira had to deal with it all alone. I remember the scene, after the wedding, she was so tired she didn't even get time to sleep for a bit because of dadi making her do so many things but Kartik happily went and slept off. To top it all off, she has to be this superwoman pleasing every single person. Why are you putting so many unrealistic expectations on merely a 20-year-old woman? She is a normal kid, not a humanoid robot. I feel like since she got married, she never had any breathing space, her life was so suffocated by Kartik, his mood swings and his family.
No one has done as many as sacrifices as Naira did (still don't know why) and no one has been humiliated as much as her. Throughout the episodes, she's always been treated like shit. Seriously, think about it. Would any of you want to be married to a guy like that or married into a family like that, where you are always tortured no matter the scales of your good deeds are always high?
That girl needs to have a breath of fresh air. She needs some happiness in life. She needs to be either single, away from Kartik or be with someone who deserves her. Kartik Goenka tho definitely doesn't deserve her. Why would she spend the rest of her life with a manipulative egomaniac who doesn't give her a shred of dignity or respect? Kartik is officially unredeemable to me.
