I was somewhere saddened that Sabeena was privy to Devki's personal feelings.. they are rather intimate between a husband and wife.. I was offended by her access to it.. it was meant for VV and him alone.. no one else would understand it the way he does.. not even Charu.. they would feel sorry for her.. and that's a major offense for that girl. .what a mockery of her dignity it became as Sabina read through it.. and obviously decided to take her cause...
Muneera , I am among those who don't blame Sabina . I blame Vaibhav .
Will tell u my reasons .
I did not see a single incident in which she encouraged him . She is behaving just the way a lady should , after her lover gets married ...she is keeping away like hell .
sonali said that why was she so serious and stiff when she first met V , could not she be casually and politely friendly and just glide thru the party ...she put his defenses up . [ Not her exact words , but the meaning}
I agreed she cud indeed do it . However , she was stiff , cold , touch me not .
I see her as very HUMAN and as practical as Devki . She does NOT believe that lovers can be good friends , EVER ...thats a charade . Those who are passionately in love can never be good friends after their break up . However mature that sounds and is advocated , it is also 90% of the time FALSE . Those feelings never really go away , and proximity stokes them , theres always the danger . She is elder than V , has seen more life than his closeted one , has had affairs with 3 directors . She knows some realities of life . Bitter ones .
So she chooses like IMV , to nip it in the bud .
If u see , although she and IMV had a spat in the party , she totally agreed with him about the staying away part by meeting his eyes with understanding ...even before he said that . Main Khud Yeh Nahi Chahti , she said . She and IMV r on the same wave length regarding this one . They know far too much of human nature and do not believe in idealism .
Her attempts have been to run as if she was running from plague .
Why ? Coz she knows V is still passionately crazy about her . She also knows SHE still loves him and that she too is human and will not be able to hold him at bay for long . She has NO illusions about HER human side ...she knows she might just eventually slip .
Her acceptance of intensely human emotions so factually is not wrong at least in my eyes . She decides , like IMV , not to take any chances , but to stay away , as far as possible , perhaps even outside geographical bounds ...in a foreign land .
Her reading of the letter too was just that . HUMAN . 99% of us , if we chance upon an open letter that simply falls plop in our hands , READ it . We do NOT fold it neatly and say Oh its not meant for us and keep it back with excellent manners . Thats the ideal thing to do , but in our private moments we r human , we don't pretend . And Sabina is human . She read it . To her credit she had NOT gone snooping in V's room for that letter nor has she invaded D's privacy on purpose . That letter practically fell in her lap .
She does not feel pity for Devki although in gussa I have once said that . She felt compassion as a woman . Devki's utter innocence has got to her . Sabina is a very good and noble woman , as good and noble as Charu and Chandra . Anger welled up in her ...anger against V for treating the young thing this way , Anger against fate , a sense of justice that she inherently has ...that cried out that this was oh so not FAIR on the young girl , and also the realisation that she alone , perhaps , has the power to set this straight . That sense of power , was again , a simple acceptance of facts . It was NOT egoistic.
She indeed HAS that power , Vaibhav HAS given it to her . She can make Vaibhav change his decisions .
She has been perfect in her behaviour , not stupid . She gives zero encouragement . She wants to be away , do what IMV and Charu want...they r ALL on one side .
Baa's confidence in her sensibility is not unfounded .
As I see it ...
S has not pursued V
S has not encouraged him
S does not even wish to be a friend , she simply wants to stay away .
S did NOT want to come in the house , she was brought here while unconscious
S was not pulling a stunt while trying to escape from hospital . She genuinely wanted to go .
S is very , very genuine .
She is so practical , she rejected Vaibhav out of practical consideration not once but THRICE by now .
1] When IMV blackmailed her .She evaluated the repercussions in her mind , decided that 'love' was not worth the destruction that would ensue and left him .
2] When she came to the mandap and saw that the marraige took place . She knew that now too much was at stake and what Baa and Sid were advocating wud lead to destruction again . So SHE decided to say NOPE and walk out .
3] Rejecting V as a woman now , albeit harshly , at the cost of hurting his pride . She knows too much is at stake again , and this not the time to be sensitive and nice inspite of the love she still feels for him and it was not HIS fault .
I find Sabina very nice and practical .
Now what happens is this . Right now she is the OTHER woman . Devki's innocence touches us . The power that V gives Sabina and the indifference he has towards Devki upsets us . Sympathy towards Devki makes us search for faults in Sabina .
She has none , so we see her actions as sophisticatedly patronizing .
At least I do . A part of me tells me she really is not . The script is patronizing Devki's love life .
Hence , very honestly speaking , I don't fault her in this . I DO fault Vaibhav . He has NOT been honest to his marraige vows . Out of control , he is now blatantly running after S inspite of being a married man . He expresses jealousy towards Sabina's husband openly , She NEVER even felt jealous of Devki secretly . He feels more and more attracted towards her as she keeps rejecting him . He squeezed her arm when she curtly told him I am NOT weak and I don't Need your assistance , after pillow incident . He stands outside her door and begs her to let him glimpse her face before he goes to bed . He decides to work from home and not go to work just bcoz he hungrily wants to be in her proximity when so many people r there to take care of her .
I suspect , Sabina's constant hard to get attitude is a BIG turn on for Vaibhav . Even in their courting days , what attracted and stymied him was the fact that he did not impress her at all . It is that way with some men . The more Sabina rejects him rudely , the more irresistible she becomes and his passion is aroused . See ALL the rejections ...how he crushed glass in his hands , how he squeezed her arm ...how he had tried to hold her in the van when she had not given an immediate yes to his proposal before leaving for Singapore . Her rejections inflame his passion .
So I think Vicky Oberoi will inflame him MORE . And after going mad with jealousy , he will find that Vicky oberoi is NOT her husband and this may lead to losing control and torrid love making and IMV's Pota .
