I did not find sincerity in his face while he said this.

Then he should question himself if he would forgive Shobha had she had the same weakness that he obviously did.
Tarun said, Shobha was only a trophy wife...
He was a co-conspirator for Samarth. He knew everything about Sam and the workings of his mind. What the world and Shobha herself saw as a "couple..9 yrs and running..in love" Tarun knew the truth behind that statement.
Kids were confused about the facts written about father...
Which comes as no surprise.
Kids wanted to believe their mother than Internet...
I think in that age, any child would want to do that. Had they been a little older, they would have countered that statement of their moms. Like my son does these days.
Kids never want to believe that father could go to jail...
I think that is true for any child regardless of the age.
In summary, Shobha and Samarth were doting parents ..not were... they 'are' doting parents to their adorable kids... no doubt about it...
Yes. Whether he acted or he genuinely loved the kids because they were his blood is a different matter entirely but yes, kids until now were brought up in a secure environment.
Being a trophy wife, shobha was proud of her husband and a loving mother...taking this for granted, Samarth said, everyone has a weakness ... and expecting Shobha to understand it and hinted it was not an unforgivable weakness... Whether shobha understands or not... what will happen to kids? Can they digest some cheater loving them unconditionally?
It wouldn't be easy. But how long can the truth be avoided Mudraji? Now it is different because the kids have not gone to school in the last couple of days. But once they start doing that Shobha can't hide the facts from them. Nor would their questions would be so easy to brush off. A pre-teen or a teenager might find this digestion factor very tough to handle. Kids here I think would end up being more confused than anything else. They wouldn't understand the concept of their father cheating on their mother.
Sure, kids donot want this version of their parents... They want to feel safe, secured and fearless...and they should...
How these rifts in parents affect their children? Should Shobha forget for the sake of children?
Most definitely NOT. A mother is the first teacher for the children. Knowingly or unknowingly we learn a lot from our mothers. Shobha going forgetting and going back for the sake of children might look like the best course of action for NOW. But what about five years later? When kids grow up a little and come to know of the facts? Would they want their mother staying with a man who has two timed her not once but many times? Especially the daughter. How can Shobha teach self-respect to her daughter? Should she bring up her son under the shadow of such a father and watch him grow up to be another Samarth? Isn't that the message she would be giving to her son? Its OK to cheat. The partner is there to understand and forgive.
Yes the rift undoubtedly would affect the children, no matter what the reason is behind it. But according to me..she should NOT forget for the sake of children. Kids are resilient Mudraji. More resilient than we give them credit for. They will learn to buck up. To move on. Like Shobha herself.
P.S: I thought you said fun post?? This one is very thought-provoking one teacherji. 👏
