One of the vows of marriage is "Taking the responsibilty for safeguarding all the members of the family - youngest to the oldest member in the family."
Radhika for tweleve long years has firmly believed in her marriage and waited for KK to return and accept his bride. Dev on the other hand tries to dismiss the act as child's play. His DG was perfect, but to him Radhika was selfish because he thought, she tried to cause anguish and pain to his family for her gain. But slowly, he is able to see the "real" Radhika - the Radhika - the wife who can challenge her husband when he tries to stop her from doing puja/vrat, the Radhika - daughter-in-law who is concerned for Dadaji and prays from well being of the family and who is ready to do 100 pere in temple and who hides bad behavior of her MIL from her father and finally Radhika - the daughter - who has such beautiful relationship with her father(confides everything in him) and finally Radhika - the orphan - who has been ill- treated by her mother.
When Radhika has come for PagPhere, her mother is demanding money from her and Radhika does not want to part with her jewellery because the jewellery technically does not belong to her. Dev has heard the conversation and sees the "real" Radhika and will realize how wrong he was about her and how she is a mirror image of him. Both have been made to realize that they are orphans and how they have obligation towards their families as return for the care that has been provided to them.
Now, slowly the difficulties faced by Radhika and also the "real" Radhika is cooming in front of Dev. Radhika's family is in trouble and he will offer financial help to come out of the trouble. May be he might offer a job to Chenu in one of the Mutt (similar to Keshav)...Radhika not taking money from the sasuraal makes sense, but it is perfectly okay, to take money from her husband, her KK...
He may say that he is doing this because RP parivaar's izzat is at stake, since in the eyes of society, she is cb of RP parivaar...but in Radhika's eyes (and of course CB audience'e eyes), by saving her younger brother and her family from distress, he has just fulfilled the responsibility of safeguarding all the members of the family - youngest to the oldest member in the family and hence completing one the vachan he gave to his bride while taking the phereas with Agni as Sakshi to their wedding... This is a first big step from the groom who considers the wedding as bachpan ka kel...
Journey has just begun...It would be lovely to see Dev fulfilling all the vows he took during the wedding...
