@ Yumna
The general version believed is the wikipedia version.. that Ram knew Sita was innocent but just wanted to make sure no one wud say anything against her later on...

The 'trial by fire' plot is a common one in many myths in India because of the value placed on a woman's modesty/chastity etc... A chaste woman is believed to have enormous power. But power has to 'renewed' constantly, so to speak... I guess that's why our TV heroines are always going thru this trial non-stop...

Am waiting for a show where the lead heroine will not face accusation of infidelity as a problem in life... but talking abt price-rise and inflation as a problem would not provide the drama an 'agnipareeksha' episode does...

When they showed Khanak giving money to Sunny and asking him to leave, I talked about the 'accusation' track. This is what I had in mind... a woman having any kind of transaction with a strange man, without her husband's knowledge will, 99% of the time, lead to her fidelity being questioned. It's a familiar trope in Indian drama.

Oh. It said that not everyone believed in the banishment version so I wasn't sure.

Banishment version? U mean, Uttar Ramayan? Can u send the link u r reading? I will send u a PM explaining this matter further...

Re Shaan' insecurities, what they are tryng to show, as I understand, is that a man has more problem accepting a woman who has had a relationship before, than a woman would have, of a man in the same situation. So, for Khanak, Shaan being in love with Natasha before being in love with her, in not so much as issue. But Suraj is a problem for Shaan and Sunny brings it to the surface....

@Gaayu and Yumna lovely discussion...missed it as was with my kids....😆😆😆

@ Yumna
Sent u a PM. Yes, it is a common theme world over, women having to prove again and again their fidelity/chastity/purity whatever....

Khanak is in a bit of a disadvantage bcos Suraj is dead. How can she prove she loves Shaan more than she loved Suraj? She cannot. He is not there. Does not exist.

That's why Shaan (and the larger society/audience) expected Khanak to keep away from Sunny, to prove her affection for Shaan. If Sunny looks like Suraj, thats good enough... Khanak still has to keep away....

Shaan however proved to Khanak he loves her more than he ever loved Natasha. He chose not to divorce Khanak and did not marry Natasha. So he has had it easy actually....

Sunny's character is just a metaphor.... it's all abt Shaan's fears.
