To a certain, partial degree i can sympathize with Jagat's character at the moment. having experienced a somewhat similiar predicament in my life...i was raised in the us went to medical school in india, and when i came back i too had a very difficult time readjusting. my friends were all somewhere else studying/had become closer while i was gone, my dad became sick, i no longer was the baby/center of attention in my home as i had been before i left... everyone was so preoccupied in their own lives and for a while i did feel depressed and dejected as i no longer felt i fit in. it took me a while to regain my motivation and finally give my boards...my parents too were very frustrated with me as they didn't understand what i was doing with my education and kept nagging me everyday. jagat too just lost all connection with his family, couldn't give his ms, his one wife is gone out of his life, his other wife has moved on professionally, and so have all of his friends.
however, what stops me from sympathizing with him completely is the way he blamed anandi for every single one of his problems. as she was as big of a victim as he in this child marriage. had he just chosen to get married and end that relationship it would have been okay...as i can agree that it was unfair to have forced him into marriage when he was a child. but the manner in which he insulted anandi for not being modern...forgetting the fact that when they were children she was smarter than him leading to dadisa burning all of her books...or blamed her for the family's lack of acceptance of gauri as well as gauri's miscarriage...tormenting her not only by getting married but taunting her every step of the way to the extent that he attempted to have his new wife take her place in the house that's been anandi's since she was 8 years old...that's too much. such a guy doesn't deserve happiness, and deserves what ever torture he is going through. he couldn't understand anandi, can't understand gauri. and it's only fair to me that gauri doesn't care to understand him and choses to ignore his childish attitude/tantrums.
as for gauri...she proved her selfishness too. she wanted to marry jagat, and so she did. he left his wife and his family. then what was this insistence that the whole family should accept her, and disown anandi? does she not have any sense that she is demanding too much? she came and destroyed anandi's marriage not vice versa yet taunts anandi like she's the homewrecker and insists jagat do the same. to me it only makes sense too that such a selfish person cannot be happy. both showed their childish characters early on in the serial so it was only a matter of time that their marriage failed. neither one of them can see past themselves and are so self absorbed and keen on blaming others for their failed relationship. now that they have no outsider to blame what else can they do but blame each other?
i believe both are wrong...neither is right and both deserve what they are getting. their marriage can only be expected to fail not because they chose to marry but because of the insensible manner in which they handled everything and treated everyone...proving their immaturity. and when too immature selfish people unite the only thing we can expect is what we are seeing right now!
