Well, had it been an year or 2, I would have felt sorry. Now I feel irritation along with pity - why can't Sarita try to gain some control over her life, walk out of the marriage after some true, genuine works expressing her 'feelings' for the entire family. - we have al seen how expressive she is 😃.Agree about the ten years leap a mistake indeed. But I think there is reason behind it. As the makers want people to feel sorry for Sarita. That is all.
Thanks! Maybe you are right. Hope CVs take that route as that would be interesting. I would be sadistically happy if Sarita marries Gaurav and then Divya cannot gel with Raj and goes off into the sunset with a new guy - maybe her costar from her last show 😃(they seem to be quite popular based on some comments I saw).Nice and well thought out post. Yes, a 5 year leap would have been more convincing. But since the show is new, we have not seen enough to know how the plot will unfold in the near future. There might be a logic for the 10 year leap. Perhaps it is to make the very point that you suggest --that things have altered a lot in this big lapse of time, and things are never what they seem at the subjective level of one's emotions. Perhaps Raj and Divya are attracted to each other based on the feelings of the past, but as they try to reconnect they might encounter interesting difficulties in relating to each other. Perhaps the CVs are planning many such surprises and twists, all made possible because of the 10 year leap. Let us wait and see
Wow - that would be weird. Shouldn't Raj be actually relieved that he's falling for his legally wedded wife and not his neighbor 😆. But then Raj is weird - speaking very politely.I agree! The most I would have made it is a 5 year leap. Seems kinda crazy that Sarita and Raj have been married for 10 years and they share no relationship.
But we'll probably see more of the 10 years as the show proceeds. Maybe at one point in the marriage Raj and Sarita did become friends and got close. Then maybe Raj pulled back and became cold when he felt himself falling for Sarita. I don't know. I guess we gotta see how the story progresses.
agree with you. He can only see his pain and his suffering but he cannot see that because of him two soul are suffering now. He did not and is not trying to understand divya's and sarita's pain. He is only selfish about himself. But that's not what is expected from him. He should acknowledge the pain and suffering the other two are suffering an understand themOriginally posted by: ruchisahay
Agree with you on each and every point (especially the one in bold). I frankly don't like Raj because I don't understand where the anger and self pity came from- maybe CVs will later justify his reactions with new revelations. It was Divya who was suffering then - her parents had died, her siblings needed support, she was the one without money or support and she was the one who had to struggle in a new place, setup a new career. If Raj could not find a way to help ( I don't care if Divya actively refused his help) - he could at least try to understand her and sort out things between them. And now, he can't see past his pain - can't see what Sarita is going through everyday. Truly a moron.

I agree with you that Sarita did change in response to abuse. What bugs me is Sarita still has soft corner for Raj - even after 10 long years of indifference, unexplained hostility and abuse (saw in a different post that Sarita slept on floor )? She still has hope in her relationship - as we saw in her attempt to attract him with her bold attire? For someone who has turned so vindictive, will she forget everything and happily move on if Raj says 'I love u' to her now.
Completely agree with Divya - despite her nave and idealistic approach to love, she looks more believable.What frustrates me is why she is interested in Raj - actually why either of the girls like Raj. She left him for completely understandable reasons - instead of supporting her in her worst time, Raj becomes bitter n talks about 'heart break' - I find that dumb, filmy and irritating.
Sarita is still trying to gain her husband's love and make her marriage work because that is what these wives do, In all serials, this is what we see. Despite the ill treatment or pain caused to them, these wives take it all. They never seek divorce, whether rich or poor so why should Sarita be different? The only difference I have seen is that Sarita actually reacts to the insults by her in-laws.

My Mother In Law came to stay with us 2 weeks back, since then I sit with her at the end of the day watching TV just for giving her company. I must confess I haven't seen the three leads before in their previous shows.
I am struggling to understand or rather cannot wrap my head around 10 YEARS leap. Life and love seem to have stood still for all 3 main leads which I find very hard to digest.Divya - I really like her. Simple, honest and the one to take right decisions. Leaving Raj was not wrong in absolute terms - she was responsible for the lives and careers of 2 younger siblings (maybe the way she left Raj was wrong or she failed to make him understand her viewpoint). But her love for Raj remained same for 10 years? Love needs to grow, right? I mean the things that attract you at 18 and at 28 are extremely different.
10 years is a long time at 18 it can be infatuation but with time you become more wise and mature as she was handling everything herself
I don't believe in soul mates
Its more of fiction, i earlier said if divya was married in that family where Raj is not a strong fellow , love would have gone out of the window when you are faced with harsh harsh realities and Raj family story is rags to riches and are greedy
or 'one great true love' concept. In my own relationship that started with mutual liking, grew to companionship and lately is all about support (since my baby was born). Divya matured overnight to take care of family, stayed alone in a big city, struggled in career and eventually got a lot of success - in short she grew and changed as a person. But all this time her feelings for Raj didn't change, she remained in love with his memories and moreover she expected things to be as she had left them. Isn't that very unrealistic? Also, are her siblings that younger to her that it took 10 years to settle them?Raj - Don't understand him at all. He married out of parental pressure or on rebound. Then took it out all on the one person who symbolized everything that was wrong with his life - by his anger and later by rejection. May be initially it made sense. But for 10 years? He's been shown to accept that his relationship failed because of him - seriously, understanding that took 10 years. He knew Divya's family issues - still considered her departure as betrayal. Now, he feels betrayed when Divya gets engaged. Doesn't he know his own marital status? Couldn't he try to sort the matter between them if she meant so much?
Raj married sarita because of parents pressure. was this marriage happened same day ? could not he tell Sarita that he loves someone else and would not be able to accept her . May be his father blackmailed him in to marrying Sarita as seen in this kind of set up , then he should have either refused to marry ,if had married then should have taken responsibility of his actions . sorry to say i find this guy without back bone he went on looking his family,s behavior towards sarita and kept quite . Now is talking of her PV . This fellow does not deserve Divya , who took her responsibilities seriously and is mature ,honest
Divya loved him and thought he would be waiting for her so I am assuming that things weren't too ugly between them when she left.Sarita - I like her too and love the fact that she can standup for herself. And can understand the various posts supporting her and sympathizing with her. But again, 10 years? Even after 10 years, she hasn't accepted that her marriage has failed, she still tries to attract him? She is resentful of Divya, her MIL, her SIL's but doesn't have any real anger towards Raj - the one who really wronged her. She might not have called off the wedding as it was already too late and eventually Raj did turn up on his own. But even when he told her plainly that he won't accept her, continuously rejected her (in marriage, being cold and distant is rejection) and left her alone to fight the sharks (i.e. his family) for 10 years, she still wants his love? What qualities did Raj ever demonstrate before her for her to like, respect or be infatuated by him? What stopped her from slapping him hard or unleashing all her fury on him (she does that often but on wrong people - the main culprit is not even acknowledged)?
Like your analysis of Sarita , as for hewr knowing about Raj before the same moment of marriage , she was shocked , but makers just cut that whole period and reached 10 years leap , with screaming and ranting Sarita .May be her parents along with Raj ,s father would have told her that it may be just infatuation, and thhings will be all right when you are married . Thats why she was shown happily ,waiting for Raj at her wedding night . That time Raj rudely told her that he would not accept her . I felt Sarita,s pain where she was all the time compared and taunted with TV,s world ,s CB . To some extent you can take all this crap when you do not have your husband,s support but after sometime , its breaking point . Either you rebel or just go in to your shell . Sarita,s parents are not shown , money does not make you progressive . Loved your pink sentence.
d have mentioned 1-2 year leap and things would be far more acceptable - Divya's love, Raj's hurt and Sarita's frustration as well as still-alive hope.
