Would she forgive him? - Page 2

I think it would make it far more exciting if she is angry and unforgiving (at first anyway). I would not expect any self-respecting woman to just understand and forgive.

I think from todays reaction, they will be forgiving of Kumud. How can they not?

I agree the situation was different back then. She didn't know him or his situation but by this point, he has promised her a lot. She gave in to him completely- emotionally, soulfully & physically. After all that, what does she get? A phone call from Saras to say the marriage is over. I will be really shocked if she is able to forgive him so easily no matter how much she feels his pain. For all Kumud knows, she had got Saras out of his shell and made him a happy man. 

 

I can see where the sympathy for Saras comes from...most of the audience is comprised of women and they probably feel very sorry for the motherless boy who cannot deal with the demons of his past. I honestly don't see the character in that way. Everyone has something in their past to deal with...you don't go about ruining other people's lives to combat our own sorrows.

 

Saras is doing exactly that. In the first instance, when he refused to marry Kumud, what he did was in someway morally correct...he knew his life was messed up and that he wouldn't be able to fulfill a relationship like a marriage and that is why he refused to marry Kumud. Bravo! He actually saved her life from being ruined. But now, the circumstances are completely different! He not only proposed marriage to her in front of both their families, they actually had an affair...he slept with her, he promised to marry her...and now just a day before the wedding, he is dumping her, without any thought about how she was going to cope with everything.😕

 

And what is worse is that, he is doing it in such a cowardly manner...breaking up his wedding with Kumud over the phone...instead of being man enough to confront her family and tell them directly.

 

Does he respect his love and relationship with Kumud so little, that he thinks telling her that its all over the phone will suffice? And this when, Kumud clearly tells him that she is ready to wait till whatever is going on in his life gets over...he still prefers to dump her, without giving any valid explanation!

 

Why Kumud? Any woman in her place would be livid with a man like that! And would most definitely not forgive him.

 

The fact that she would be forced into an unwanted marriage because of what Saras did and that marriage would turn out to be bad, will probably contribute more to her bitterness and anger.

 

Kumud is not like Saras...she is expressive, where he is reserved, she is outspoken, where he is measured, she is emotionally volatile, where he is emotionally cold. Her anger will be very upfront and all over the place...when she confronts Saras...else, I think she will be withdrawn and heartbroken, especially when she gets married to someone else.
