Raj:
This gives really lives in a world of his own where he believes what is convenient for him to believe. So his father emotionally blackmailed him by threatening to commit murder-suicide. Well, materialistic people like Sohan Lal will never do something to harm themselves. But maybe a young confused and hurt (by Divya) boy couldn't figure that out. Ok so I kind of can go with this explanation. But then he says in the next breath that other reason of him marrying Sarita was because she waiting in themandap for him. So he thinks it is bad to dump a girl at alter, the girl who was chosen for him by his father without his knowledge or approval. But it is ok to let her live in a meaningless marriage for 10 years. Then on top of that, he tells Divya that Sarita is his responsibility, but Divya is his love. So that's how one treats their responsibility by letting that person be abused for 10 years. So if Sarita was his responsibility, why didn't he end the abuse.
So he really is living in some universe where he is fulfilling his responsibility by letting her stay in his house?, giving her food ?, letting her work in his house like a servant?, and letting her tolerate the abuse? Misti, my sympathy for him evaporated instantly (the one I had for him yesterday).
Then he was amazed at Divya's complaints that he did not wait for her. According to him and as we know by now, he waited for her because he did not touch Sarita for 10 years. And then he was asking Divya what to do next? So he knew that Divya had left him to take care of family. Yet he was hurt by this. As of today, they never showed him telling Divya that he was willing to share her responsibilities with her. So that means he never offered to share the responsibility of taking care of Divya's family with her. After this, he expected Divya to choose him. Does he even know the meaning of marriage where each one shares one another's problems. On what basis, he was thinking that he was ready for marriage? Actually not only Raj doesn't know the true meaning of love, he doesn't know the true meaning of marriage either. He didn't know it 10 years ago and he doesn't right now. Divya actually had a good escape because she would be struggling all alone in this lunatic family.
This person has not only not grown, he has regressed to a 10 year old type of child who justifies his mistakes and then asks an adult for a solution for a problem he created. He was much more mature when he was with Divya 10 years ago.
However, I did think that Raj should have dared his father to follow his threat. The worse would have been that his siblings would be in the same state as Divya's. Then both of them could have raised them together with him working in Kabadi (scrap dealing) shop while supporting Divya pursue her acting career. At least his sisters would have been normal.
Then there is alternate world of Divya and Sarita too. So I think this was it. No more explanation of past of these three will be shown now. So Divya did not tell him how long she will be away. But she expected Raj to wait for her until she returned to Bhopal? Does she not know a thing called phone, mobile phone, email etc.? So I can understand her not contacting Raj for first three years when she was struggling. Why couldn't she come even for a visit in the next 7 years when she got her TV show. She could have come for a weekend in 7 years to meet Raj.
Then finally there is Sarita. I am not expecting them to show her past either. So why would a girl smile so happily in a wedding photo hours after realizing that groom was being forced to marry her and he was still standing like a statue next to her. Did she think that his showing up meant he was ready for marriage. But then when she saw his stony face, why did she anticipate her wedding night so happily. Wouldn't a girl be apprehensive about the groom's reaction if she is not his choice.
Finally, there is crazy family of Raj who are living in the universe of their own. The mistress can figure out the connection between Raj and Divya (evident), but the rest of family are so much into their make-belief world that they cannot connect Divya (Raj's college friend, telling them Raj was her acting coach, Raj reacting badly at her name, and then looking like a kid who got candy when he saw her) , is his ex-girlfriend. Shiela lives in her own pool of negativity where all the hositility is directed at Divya and none at her brother.
I can only say that Divya had a lucky escape. As a result, she could get both fame and wealth as well as personal satification in pursuing a career that she wanted. On top of that, she is getting a normal person like Gaurav, who for the most part is learning to love her the way she is.
Lines of the Day - Sarita's to Kamla that no one normal would ever come to his house. So even if she wanted to have an affair, she would not get a chance because this family was too crazy for a sane person to show up.
Acting wise, Karan and Rubina got the scope for the first time in last two days. Shristy did not have much to do today. So just will talk about Karan and Rubina. Both performed quite well. Yesterday, Karan as Raj brought out that crazy and some-what child like desperation in his expressions and voice when he was showing Divya the college momentos. Today I liked his expressions of incredulity at Divya's accusation that he did not wait for her. Today too he was child-like in trying to convince her that his love was very pure and he was very faithful to her.
Rubina did a very good job the way her expressions changed from hurt (at him marrying Sarita) to dawning realization at his convoluted thinking and then her turning her face away from him to tell a lie to him. The expressions were very appropriate and her acting was subtle for the most part except in some areas (when her voices rises) where her voice modulation could have been a little better.
