All's well that ends well ...

Dear, I totally agree with you. It is a poetic justice but the point is, the character of Vikram wasn't very really realistic either right? I mean I can understand people like Shobha, Samarth, MIL and both SILs exist in real life, they are realistic characters, but Vikram? Nah I don't think so. Vikram is like a character in some epic, like Karn of Mahabharat, all self sacrificing and all. He is an idealistic character. Hence the idealistic or as you said, poetic end. If Vikram was a realistic character, I think the whole question of us feeling bad wouldn't have come in the first place. He himself would have moved on...

But having said this, I too feel bad that we all did not get the happy romantic ending we expected. This ending was fine, but it is just not what we generally expect. And also they just showed us the immediate aftermath of the villains getting arrested. I mean which lady in her complete senses would accept to marry just after all that has happened to her? And that too on the same day at the very mandap where all the drama occurred? She too has some self-respect, they need to give her time. She is not some teenage girl who only has to think of her romantic life; she is a mother of 2 children, she is solely responsible for them now. So may be in that situation and mind set she thought of him only as her friend and thought that it will remain like that forever. But for-evers always change till another forever comes.

And so I choose to believe that in due course of time, may be some 10 years or so down the line, she will accept him not only as a friend but as something more. It is OK if she does not, because a woman can be independent and still be happy, but for the romantic in me, that is what I'm going to believe. And I would have been really happy if they had shown just a photograph depicting them both in garlands with 2 adult kids at the very end. But well, there is always our imagination, if not theirs, right?!

Cheers!😊
