In all fairness, Jasmine's obsession with Canada is similar to Fateh's obsessing with her. I agree that her Canada obsession is cringe-worthy and her disrespectful antics are well, horrible. But think, this is because Jasmine is young and really hasn't faced any setbacks in life. Plus, Tejo never allows her to make decisions for herself and deal with the consequences. These are the hallmarks of independence and maturity. No doubt, Jasmine's character as written can be unwatchable. But if you look at it from Jasmine's perspective, why is Fateh so obsessed with her? He knew all she wanted was to go to Canada. She didn't lie to him. This reminds me of that movie Bala, where the heroine leaves her husband because she discovers he is bald. She said yes, you can hate me but having a handsome husband is all I ever wanted and you lied to me. That's what she wants. Just like, that is what Jasmine wants, just as Fateh only wants Jasmine. I hope a story where they start growing up and deal with these real issues would be interesting. How about we see Jasmine deal with her Canada obsession after leaving Fateh or Fateh finding out why he was so obsessed in the first place. This doesn't mean he should fly into Tejo's arms. They should remain as friends and find other life partners. Though it might be nice to see Jasmine and Fateh work out their problems and find a way to each other once they have parted. He really does seem to light up when he sees her and she is starting to warm up to him. So, with some maturity, it would be interesting to see how they evolve.
