Cynthia, I hope no character is turned into black (100% negative) or white (100% positive). Sarita so far is not coming out to be negative even though she does come across as somewhat vindictive when she is resentful of Divya moving on in her life or having the love of her family because she has done so much for them. But then as she said, her tolerating everything for 10 years has turned her into a bitter person. She is too desperate for Raj's love and I am not sure what is behind this. Why is she so attached to him when he hasn't even looked at her or talked to her properly once? In any case, she has turned from a sweet person into a bitter person.
But my worry is that they may turn Divya into a totally sacrificial character who would do one sacrifice after another to save Sarita's marriage with Raj. She is no marriage counselor. I don't mind her going to Raj's house if she is going only for Raj's sake and not for Sarita's sake. She doesn't owe Sarita a thing as she is not the one who asked Raj to marry Sarita or told Sarita to marry Raj despite finding out that Raj was in love with somebody else.
She should go to Raj's house as she owes Raj something - either because she failed to understand his hurt or his personality or his desperate love for her. Since she is hurt that Raj has given up on life because of her, she need to go to him for her sake and his sake. They both need closure for this relationship as both have remained stuck in time. Only if Raj is healed, will she be happy in her future life either with Gaurav or somebody else. So if they show her teaching Raj to move on and she herself moves on, then it is all fine. So hopefully, she won't be turned into a mahaan person the way female leads are done in a serial with them giving tests after tests of their goodness. But I am afraid that it is going in this direction.
IF they properly execute this show, then they can also shown Sarita getting out of a victim mentality. She had more resources (financial) at her disposal and by her admission, she is well educated. If her dreams got broken, so did Divya's of staying with Raj. So it is not Divya's fault that Sarita lost 10 years of life. She too could have made something of her life by walking out of this dysfunctional house and dysfunctional relationship. So I hope that Sarita gets that enlightenment and then if she and Raj can find happiness together, then so be it. Otherwise she should learn to move on too.
Finally, Raj needs to pay for his mistakes too and should not get a free pass that he seems to be getting from everyone. Why did he not set Sarita free or make up for his and his family's mistake by thinking about her future before. At this time, he needs to stay away from all relationships - either with Divya or Sarita until he figures out what he wants in life. How long one can play a victim? At one point, everyone has to take responsibility for the direction of their life.
In conclusion, I hope these three characters remain grey rather than black/white.
